Red Reward, Time Fragment

Looking at the first spinning wheel before him, Chen Ye deeply understood the principle of baiting the pool.

Three draws to bait the pool, watching three white rewards accompanied by the system notification chime.

[Congratulations, Host has obtained 1000-year Soul Ring Age. Congratulations, Host has obtained...]

Chen Ye rubbed his head and opened the second reward pool. He only had three chances for this pool, and he hesitated as he looked at it.

"A bit unlucky. I finally got three chances, and they can't all be white rewards, right?"

"But after three draws to bait the pool, maybe something good will come out!"

Thinking this, Chen Ye still directly tapped for a triple draw. The massive wheel spun, its white, yellow, purple, black, red, and golden lights flickering as the random indicators rapidly came to a stop.

Watching the first indicator stop in the white zone, a trace of disappointment crossed Chen Ye's face.

Then the second indicator also landed in the white zone.

A rare bitter smile appeared on Chen Ye's face. Besides disappointment, there were other emotions in his heart.

But to his surprise, the third indicator slowly came to a stop in the red zone.

Red light flickered, and then text emerged on the diary.

"The black zone should be pretty good too," Chen Ye thought as he opened the diary.

[Congratulations, Host has obtained 10,000-year Soul Ring Age. Congratulations, Host has obtained 10,000-year Soul Ring Age.]

[Congratulations, Host has obtained a Time Fragment. Time Fragments can observe changes in the recent timeline.]

[Current Time Fragment usage count is five. Every 100,000 years of Soul Ring Age grants one additional use.]

Chen Ye raised an eyebrow, curiosity in his eyes as he swept his gaze over his roommates.

Tang Wulin lay on the lower bunk nearby, reading a forging book.

Xie Xie lay silently on the upper bunk, fiddling with a Soul Tool.

Zhou Changxi had already left the dormitory, whereabouts unknown.

After glancing at the three of them, Chen Ye also opened the door and left the dormitory, heading outside.

Finding a secluded, empty corner, he slowly opened his Chronospace Diary. A faint white light flickered.

A white dial fell into Chen Ye's hand. The indicator on the dial turned slightly.

"This thing can tell me the differences between recent changes and the original timeline?"

Chen Ye frowned, hesitated for a moment, then slowly gripped the dial.

Dazzling white light flickered, and his figure vanished on the spot.

After about a minute, Chen Ye's figure reappeared.

A contemplative look on his face, he stared at the dial in his hand before placing it back into the Chronospace Diary.

"Gu Yue plans to observe Tang Wulin and make a move on him early. I will remove the Golden Dragon King Bloodline from Tang Wulin, but not now."

"Xu Xiaoyan actually came to Class One too. Yuanen Yehui went straight to the Genius Youth Class."

"As expected, influenced by me, the fates of these three have changed somewhat."

Chen Ye's eyes flickered. He gently placed his fingers on the Chronospace Diary.

A large amount of information was modified by him, then reissued.

Feeling the turn of the Chronospace Diary in their minds, several girls were stunned.

They looked at the new diary content, surprise in their eyes.

Eastsea Academy, girls' dormitory.

Xu Xiaoyan raised an eyebrow: "The Chronospace Diary really does automatically update the Time Trajectory."

"But if it updates along with us, have our fates changed or not?"

Confusion filled the girl's eyes, but clearly, no one would answer this question for her.

She turned her head slightly, looking at a girl with a cold expression sitting beside her.

The other's appearance could only be called pretty—incomparable to her own—but she carried an aloof, noble aura that made one dare not profane her.

"Classmate Gu Yue, you're also in Class One. Let's go to school together tomorrow."

Xu Xiaoyan smiled. Gu Yue glanced at her and nodded.

Shrek Academy, Genius Youth Class.

Yuanen Yehui raised her hand. Terrifying power condensed as her fist slammed down.

Opposite her was a golden-haired girl. In the girl's hand, a sword shimmered with starlight as countless beams of light sprayed wildly.

"Interesting. Among the Genius Youth Class, you're the strongest I've met."

"Yuanen Yehui! You're worthy of being my opponent."

The golden-haired girl spoke as she swung her sword. Starlight flowed along its blade, but Yuanen Yehui was momentarily distracted.

Because of that brief delay, Yuanen Yehui failed to react in time and regrettably lost.

Looking at Yuanen Yehui, Ye Xinglan frowned. "You can lose focus during a fight. If this were a life-or-death battle, you'd already be dead!"

"Sorry, sorry. I have a bit of a headache, so I'll take my leave first." Yuanen Yehui said with an apologetic smile, then went straight back to the dormitory.

She was older than Ye Xinglan, but the two had joined the Genius Youth Class around the same time.

They were also considered the most talented individuals within Shrek Academy's Genius Youth Class.

After reading the new Chronospace Diary entry, Yuanen Yehui let out a long breath. "So the Chronospace Diary really can change. In that case, the information it provides me will be even more accurate."

"It seems my fate has already been altered! As long as I have the Chronospace Diary, I can definitely avoid the vast majority of risks."

A hint of excitement crossed Yuanen Yehui's face. Ever since the Chronospace Diary had saved her mother, she had begun to believe in it somewhat.

But under the brainwashing of her father and grandfather, she hadn't trusted the diary that much—until it revealed her fate.

Knowing that in the original timeline she would be abandoned by her grandfather and her family, Yuanen Yehui instead developed some trust in the Chronospace Diary.

And now, seeing the diary's contents change, her level of trust in it grew even higher.

At this moment, Chen Ye was sitting in a patch of grass, the surrounding weeds concealing his figure.

As he looked at the information in the diary, excitement gleamed in his eyes.

[Yuanen Yehui's favorability toward you has reached Sixth Rank. Congratulations, you have received two draw chances.]

[Xu Xiaoyan's trust in you has reached Level Three. Congratulations, you have received three draw chances.]

[Mu Xi's trust in you has reached Sixth Rank. Congratulations, you have received two draw chances.]

Chen Ye blinked. This increase in trust wasn't unexpected to him. Aside from the three of them, no one else's trust in him had changed.

The reason Mu Xi's trust had risen so quickly was that Chen Ye had predicted she would enter Shrek Academy.

As for the increase in trust levels from Yuanen Yehui and Xu Xiaoyan, he didn't know the details, but a rise in trust was a good thing.

And as soon as this diary entry was published, he had immediately obtained three draw chances from the first Reward Pool and four from the second.

However, given that his luck today was truly terrible, Chen Ye had no intention of using them just yet.

After using the diary to get a feel for things, he stood up, hummed a tune, and went back to the dormitory.

What Chen Ye didn't notice was that not far away, Zhou Changxi was watching him, a hint of curiosity and strangeness in his eyes.
