When they saw that the Diary Copy actually had hidden rewards, the Chat Group Members all started tagging "Love Eating Carrots" in the group.
They could only see on the Chat Group interface that Xiao Wu had received a reward. As for what that reward was, they had no idea.
The contents of a hidden reward could only be seen in the Diary Copy belonging to the person who received it.
So they were all extremely curious. What exactly had Xiao Wu received?
[I Am Little Princess: Xiao Wu, could you tell us what your hidden reward was?]
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Rongrong's wide eyes brimmed with curiosity. With a thought, she sent a message on the Chat Group interface.
When the others saw "I Am Little Princess" send a message, they all followed suit. They wanted to know how these rewards differed from the Diary Copy's check-in rewards.
[Cat Yearning for Freedom: +1]
[Martial Soul Hall Pope: +1]
[A Little Fox: +1]
[I Have No Mother: +1]
[Yanzi Will Return: +1]
[Cold Eating Melon Girl: +1]
[I Don't Have the Surname Yu: +1]
The Chat Group interface had fallen into a loop of repeated messages.
Like Ning Rongrong, they all wanted to see how the two kinds of rewards differed.
[Love Eating Carrots: Hehe, I think this hidden reward is much better than the check-in reward.]
[Love Eating Carrots: The hidden reward I got was a "Spatial Jade Slip." It can teleport me a hundred li away, so it's a great life-saving treasure.]
[Love Eating Carrots: And this Spatial Jade Slip is really sentient. In special circumstances, it can activate on its own. With it, I don't have to be afraid of that Titled Douluo Tang Hao anymore.]
[Love Eating Carrots: As long as I want to leave, I can get out of here anytime. Tang Hao can't catch me at all.]
Xiao Wu had returned to her usual carefree, smug self.
With the Spatial Jade Slip, her safety was completely assured, so naturally she had no reason to fear Tang Hao, that Titled Douluo.
I can't beat you, but if I want to run, you can't stop me. Doesn't that piss you off?
[Cat Yearning for Freedom: The hidden reward is that good?!]
Star Dou Empire, the Zhu Family.
A refined-looking girl dressed in black stared at the Chat Group before her. When she saw Xiao Wu's message, her face filled with shock.
The girl was Zhu Zhuqing. When she had first received the Diary Copy, she had been confused and afraid.
But she soon discovered how miraculous it was. Her parents couldn't even see the Black Diary in her hands, as if the Diary Copy were an illusion.
Moreover, the Diary Copy offered many rewards that could improve her strength, which filled Zhu Zhuqing with excitement.
Born into the Star Luo Zhu Family, she had been deprived of freedom from the moment she was born.
Not only did she have a Prince fiancé she had never met, but when she came of age, she would also have to fight her elder sister and brother-in-law to the death.
Zhu Zhuqing had been desperate, but fortunately, receiving the Diary Copy had given her a chance to defy fate.
And now—
Seeing how generous Xiao Wu's hidden reward was, Zhu Zhuqing naturally longed for one too.
These hidden rewards were clearly far better than the check-in rewards.
"How can I get the Diary Owner, Lin Chen, to mention my name more often?"
A glint flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes as she seriously considered the question.
Zhu Zhuqing had thought of it, and so had the other members of the Chat Group.
Heaven Dou City.
When Qian Renxue saw the hidden reward Xiao Wu had received, she, too, felt a stirring of ambition.
A Spatial Jade Slip was an unparalleled life-saving treasure. If it were put up for auction, it would surely fetch an astronomical price.
After all, nobody would turn down an extra way to save their own life. If they encountered danger, they could use the jade slip and come away alive.
Even if future hidden rewards weren't as precious as the Spatial Jade Slip, they would still be far better than check-in rewards.
The check-in rewards alone could turn an ordinary Soul Master into a powerful one if they kept coming for a few years.
And if someone could get a hidden reward every day, they might even become a Divine Being after a few years.
Notting City.
Xiao Wu saw the Chat Group suddenly fall silent and wondered why everyone had stopped talking. Weren't they usually so lively?
Little did she know that they were all thinking about how to get Lin Chen to mention them more often, so they could receive more hidden rewards.
"I've finally made it to my dorm."
Lin Chen slowly pushed open the dormitory door and looked inside.
The dormitory was spacious, with a private bathroom and washroom. A large bed stood in the middle, surrounded by all kinds of everyday necessities.
If he had to describe the place, Lin Chen would call it a modest, high-end hotel room.
"Not bad. Money really can solve most problems."
Lin Chen put away his luggage, then sat cross-legged on the bed and began practicing the Nine Yang Skill, which the Diary System had rewarded him earlier.
The system had already passed the Nine Yang Skill directly into Lin Chen's mind, but that didn't mean he had mastered its highest level.
He only knew how to circulate the technique. If he wanted to cultivate the Nine Yang Skill to the ninth level, he would still have to put in the effort.
"His strength is his own; I let the breeze brush the hills.
His force is his own; I let the moon shine on the river.
Though he is fierce and cruel, I have only to keep my True Qi strong."
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Lin Chen silently recited the Nine Yang Skill's formula and slowly circulated the Soul Power within his body.
The Soul Power, which had been moving sluggishly, seemed to be pushed along by the Nine Yang Skill.
It circulated far faster than it had when he meditated on his own without a technique.
By dusk,
Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of Turbid Qi, bringing his practice of the Nine Yang Skill to an end.
Then Lin Chen summoned his Detached Martial Soul—the Golden Dragon.
As soon as the Golden Dragon appeared, its large ears began swiveling back and forth as it rubbed against Lin Chen's leg.
"Alright, alright, stop rubbing. I can feel how happy you are."
Lin Chen gently pushed the Golden Dragon away.
"I should let the Golden Dragon absorb that Golden Holy Dragon Blood. Maybe it'll undergo a major change."
Lin Chen remembered the Golden Holy Dragon Blood from the Newbie Gift Pack. Now was the time to let the Golden Dragon consume it.
The Golden Dragon already possessed the bloodline of the Golden Holy Dragon. Lin Chen was an orphan, and although he'd had enough to eat in the village, his Qi and blood had still been insufficient to fully awaken the Golden Dragon when his Martial Soul awakened. It had only been able to exist as a Detached Martial Soul.
But things were different now.
With the Diary System, Lin Chen no longer had to worry about his or the Golden Dragon's nutrition.
The ten tons of Millennium True Dragon Meat in the system's storage alone would keep the Golden Dragon fed for a long time.
What's more, as time passed and Lin Chen updated his diary every day, he would receive all kinds of rewards.
