Speculation on the Diary Copy, Xiao Wu's Emotional Abuse

On the other side.

After Tang Hao and the others engaged in battle at high altitude, the soul power pressure Lin Chen felt gradually dissipated, allowing him to move freely again without bearing that immense weight.

At this moment.

Countless doubts and guesses swirled in Lin Chen's mind.

With a thought, a black diary—invisible to others—appeared in his hand. He opened it and recorded the strange events of the day.

[My mind is a mess right now. How could Bibi Dong, along with Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, show up at Notting Academy?]

[This would never happen in the original story. Even with the Butterfly Effect I caused, it shouldn't be this severe.]

[Now I seriously suspect that the content I wrote in this diary was leaked by this unscrupulous Diary System. Otherwise, the Butterfly Effect wouldn't be this huge.]

[As for who's seen my diary, I can be sure that Bibi Dong, the Martial Soul Hall Pope, has read it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have appeared here today.]

[But I don't know how many people on this continent can see my diary entries.]

Writing this far, Lin Chen closed his black diary and began communicating with his Diary System in his mind.

"System, tell me quickly—did you distribute several Diary Copies of my content?"

"And on this Douluo Continent, Bibi Dong isn't the only one watching. Others have received these Diary Copies too."

Lin Chen called out to his Diary System in his mind, hoping to get an answer.

[Ding, Host, your guess is correct.]

[Besides Bibi Dong, other characters on the continent have obtained your Diary Copies. As for who they are, you'll need to discover that yourself.]

Sensing Lin Chen's confusion, the Diary System didn't keep him in suspense and answered his doubts.

After all, even bigger and more drastic Butterfly Effects would occur in the future. As long as Lin Chen wasn't stupid, he'd figure out the truth.

But the Diary System didn't mention one thing—that the Diary Copy owners had a Chat Group among themselves.

Hearing the system's confirmation, Lin Chen fell silent for a moment, as if pondering something.

Then, he voiced another doubt:

"System, does that mean the Diary Copy owners can't harm me, the Diary Owner?"

Recalling the diary entries he'd written, he had practically offended Bibi Dong to the core.

Every line of his diary dripped with contempt for Bibi Dong, referring to her almost exclusively as "that foolish woman."

Moreover, his diary contained plenty of insults directed at Jade Little Sword.

Given Bibi Dong's personality and her obsession with Jade Little Sword, if she saw his diary, she should have skinned him alive.

But now, over a week had passed, and nothing had happened to him. That could only mean Bibi Dong had no intention of harming him.

Otherwise, finding Lin Chen on the Douluo Continent would be child's play for her.

As someone who had read the original story, Lin Chen knew the depth of the Martial Soul Hall's resources.

On the very first day he finished writing his diary, Bibi Dong could have appeared before him the next day to teach him the harsh realities of the world.

So, there was only one truth: after obtaining the Diary Copy, Bibi Dong couldn't harm him, the Diary Owner.

[Ding, Host, you're amazing. All your guesses are correct.]

[Diary Copy owners are explicitly forbidden from harming the Diary Owner. Rest assured, even if your diary content is offensive, you won't be in any danger.]

[But if a Diary Copy owner chooses to abandon the copy, the system will erase their memory. After that, there will be no restrictions between them and you.]

Hearing the system's explanation, Lin Chen nodded, understanding some of the rules.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The Chat Group was in an uproar.

[I Have No Mother: It seems Lin Chen is quite clever. He figured it out so quickly.]

[I Am Little Princess: Yeah, he's a bit smart. But he definitely doesn't know that we Diary Copy owners have our own exclusive Chat Group.]

[Yanzi Will Return: Xiao Wu, stop Peeking. Come out and tell us—what academy are you and Lin Chen at?]

[Yanzi Will Return: Bibi Dong has already come to your place. Stop hiding things and tell your Sisters.]

[Yanzi Will Return: Now you have to compete with Bibi Dong for the Diary Copy's Hidden Reward. Bibi Dong has money, looks, figure, and strength. Xiao Wu, you've got nothing—how are you going to compete with her?]

[Yanzi Will Return: If you don't tell us soon, Bibi Dong will take the Hidden Reward. Xiao Wu, you don't want that to happen, do you?]

Heaven Dou City.

Dugu Yan was frantically manipulating Xiao Wu in the Chat Group, trying to get her to reveal Lin Chen's location.

The Hidden Reward was far more generous than the Check-in Reward, only slightly inferior to the Monthly Lottery.

As a soul master, she naturally wanted to obtain this Hidden Reward to become stronger.

But the Douluo Continent was vast. Even the Two Great Empires and the Upper Three Sects—let alone the Martial Soul Hall—would find it difficult to track down a single person.

[Cat Yearning for Freedom: That's right, Xiao Wu. Hurry up and tell us your location.]

[I Am Little Princess: Add 1.]

[I Don't Have the Surname Yu: Add 1]

Aside from Ah Yin, that single blade of grass, the Chat Group members all pressed Xiao Wu to reveal her location.

Ah Yin was now a blade of grass—even if she wanted to get close to Lin Chen, she had the will but not the means, reduced to a powerless Blue Silver Grass in this Stone Cave.

But the other Chat Group members were different. Many were low-level soul masters, and even those as strong as Bo Saixi or Gu Yuena had their own desires.

After obtaining this Diary Copy, Bo Saixi's longing to become a deity had steadily grown.

She was a follower of the Sea God, but that didn't stop her from becoming a deity herself, did it?

As for Gu Yuena, she wanted to obtain a reward from Lin Chen that could heal her injuries.

That strike from the Asura God still left her body aching faintly even now, driving her urgent need to treat her wounds.

And Xiao Wu, that gluttonous Little Rabbit, had been pocketing the Hidden Reward for a whole week for free—it made the others green with envy.

As members of the Chat Group, they naturally wanted to gain more rewards, and the Diary Copy's Hidden Reward was the biggest prize among them.

They needed a fair platform to compete: whoever got Lin Chen to mention them the most deserved the diary reward.

Not like Xiao Wu, who simply monopolized Lin Chen all to herself—that was unfair.

They admitted they were jealous of Xiao Wu, but if they were the ones monopolizing Lin Chen, they wouldn't think that way.

People were all Double Standards. As long as it stayed within bounds—unlike that certain Buddha surnamed Tang, who was both a hypocrite and self-righteous—it was acceptable.
