Another Update
On the small bed in the room arranged by the Heavenly Dragon Sect, Shen Yichen crossed his legs, a smile playing on his lips.
The water's completely muddied; now it's time to enjoy the game!
[Ding, Daily Essays and Current Affairs Review have met the requirements. System upgrade in progress...]
"Wow, finally leveled up."
The first upgrade was a month later, the second was a year later, the third was two years later, and now it has been three years since the last upgrade.
Shen Yichen could guess that the upgrade would happen either this year or next year.
System upgrade complete!
[Changes in this update:]
[Changes in this update:]
[1. Three additional Diary Copy will be distributed.]
[2. The host is granted two permissions. After submitting the audit, two new rules can be permanently added to the Diary and its Diary Copy.]
[3. The quality of rewards obtained from Daily Essays has been improved.]
The changes were pretty much exactly what Shen Yichen had imagined.
What new rules should we add this time?
We need to make the water even muddier, and give them something to do so they don't just sit around idly and lose face.
And... there's an idea that Shen Yichen has wanted to try for a long time.
However, on the last few occasions, I put my plans aside, once to protect myself and once to protect my fellow group members.
This time, it's time to let loose and add new rules.
[I. Additional rewards for Copy Holder: The holder whose name is mentioned most frequently by the recorder in the Daily Essays will receive an extra reward.]
With this addition, the Diary System truly becomes a 'Diary System'!
Audit in progress...
Audit conclusions generated!
[I. The holder whose name is mentioned most frequently in the Daily Essays entries will receive one of the following random rewards: Soul Ring Age +1000, Soul Bone Age +1000, Soul Power Level +1, Increased Qi and Blood, Increased Divine Power.]
Um...
It will work!
However... the rewards are limited to these five. In other words, there's no way to obtain the Magic Treasure that Di Tian gave him, which isolates him from the Divine Realm's detection, nor are there any special rewards like Soul Skill templates.
Overall, it's not bad.
Let's settle on this rule then.
When the time comes, won't I be able to write whose name I want to write again?!
Next, write the second one!
[II. For every reward received by the Copy Holder, the diary keeper will receive an identical reward.]
Audit in progress...
Audit conclusions are generated.
[II. For every reward obtained by the Copy Holder, the recorder will receive an identical reward.]
"Huh?" Shen Yichen sat up in bed. "It actually works?!"
If this works, then...
Shen Yichen canceled the second entry and re-entered it.
[II. Each time the Copy Holder alters their own fate, causing it to deviate from the original storyline, they will receive additional rewards.]
Shen Yichen kept a close eye on the review results.
The results came out quickly.
[II. Settlement will be conducted annually. Each time the Copy Holder alters their fate, causing it to deviate from its intended course, additional rewards will be distributed based on the degree of deviation and its subsequent impact.]
"What should I do? I feel like this one is no worse than the last one?"
To be honest, Shen Yichen, as the recorder, already received incredibly generous rewards for checking in. Theoretically, he didn't need the meager rewards from the holders.
However, it's not like the holders will be completely unable to draw anything good.
For example, the little gadgets that Di Tian gave him—he was quite envious of those things.
As for things like the Age of Soul Rings Soul Bones, they're not very useful except for showing off in self-introductions.
Or, how about combining the two?
The holder changes their fate and receives a reward, and the recorder also receives one... Hmm? Since you're already greedy, why not be bolder?
The holder changes their destiny and receives a reward; the recorder receives ten thousand times the holder's reward!
Audit in progress...
[II. Settlement will be conducted annually. Each time the Copy Holder alters their fate, causing it to deviate from its intended course, an additional reward will be calculated based on the degree of deviation and its subsequent impact. When the holder receives a reward, the recorder receives the same reward.]
"Well..."
Ten thousand times gone.
Sure enough, while loopholes can be exploited, one shouldn't go too far.
Double it is fine, double is better than nothing! Since the second method allows you to get double for free, the first method can definitely do the same.
The rewards are just a bonus; the main purpose is to motivate holders to actively change their own destiny!
Shen Yichen lay on the bed, his right hand reaching towards the ceiling. "One hand, the allure of nomination; the other, the twist of fate. With this two-pronged approach, I'll see if you can find me using both carrot and stick!"
--
Swish~
Soon, three Diary Copy flew out. The updated rules of the Diary System were also displayed to each Copy Holder.
[Du Busi: The system has been updated again!]
[Huo Yun'er: This time it's three years, so... next time it'll probably be four years from now.]
[Reader: Oh no, have you seen the new rules?]
Wang Yan said something seemingly pointless. But pointless as it was, everyone understood his underlying meaning.
With these new rules in place, regardless of whether one was willing to participate in the 'game' before, the readily available benefits can no longer be ignored.
To change your destiny, you must first understand destiny. To have your name mentioned by the recorder, you must first know who the recorder is.
[Liberator: Now, I have no choice but to participate in the 'game'...]
As soon as these words were spoken, people in the group chat quickly realized what was going on.
[Xiao Qi: So, you're also a member of Shrek?]
Jiang Nannan realized her mistake and quickly tried to make amends.
[Liberator: That's not important. What's important is that I really need to find a way to the Shrek Academy. If that doesn't work, looking for opportunities at Shrek is better than staying put.]
[Wu Xie: That's true, but... if someone shouldn't be at the Shrek Academy, but ends up there anyway, wouldn't that be blatantly revealing their identity?]
[Du Busi: That's true. Who knows how small the "minor punishment" the transmigrator mentioned really is? What if you end up losing everything instead of getting the reward?]
[Xiao Qi: You guys can take your time to think it over. Anyway, I'm a freshman at Shrek this year. My identity should be pretty much exposed, so... I need to find out His identity!]
Wang Dong'er's strategy is to only attack and never defend!
Ever since asking the question "Who exactly is Wang Dong'er?" several years ago, Wang Dong'er's way of handling things has become one of reckless abandon!
The worst that can happen is death!
There are quite a few people who share the same thoughts as Wang Dong'er. For example, Huo Yun'er, and Du Busi.
However, it's likely that only Wang Dong'er and Huo Yun'er actually put their plans into action.
It was just the two of them, and the time, place, and opportunity were all perfect!
Wang Dong'er and Huo Yun'er are like oil and water. Since their falling out, they've stopped even bothering to maintain a semblance of harmony.
Given the chance, the two of them definitely wouldn't mind tricking each other!
And this is exactly the kind of fun Shen Yichen wanted to see!
