Since he had arrived on the Douluo Continent and could use the Diary to entangle himself with the beauties from the original work, Luo Ye naturally would not let go of such an opportunity no matter what.
He was not going to pretend anymore; Luo Ye admitted that he was a total lecher, and he was laying his cards on the table!
Oh wait, let him correct that: he was not old.
As for how to fabricate diary entries so that the owners of those diary copies would believe them and close the distance between them?
As a seasoned player who had roamed through fields of flowers in his past life and possessed rich experience, Luo Ye declared that dealing with the love-addled minds of the Douluo Continent was as simple as watching how he handled them!
According to the system's description, the greater a female's importance in the original work, the higher the probability of her obtaining a diary copy.
That being said, Zhu Zhuqing, as a member of the protagonist group, was probably one of the diary copy owners, right?
Feeling Luo Ye's gaze, Zhu Zhuqing blinked and asked.
"What is it, Luo Ye?"
Luo Ye did not answer immediately, instead gazing at Zhu Zhuqing with boundless tenderness, his eyes brimming with affection.
Not until Zhu Zhuqing looked thoroughly uncomfortable did Luo Ye suddenly snap out of it, hurriedly changing the subject.
"Nothing. Since I've already obtained my third soul ring, let's leave the Star Dou Great Forest so we don't arrive too late to catch the admissions at Shrek Academy."
Acting out affection was merely a basic skill for a seasoned player.
Next came the task of fabricating stories to subtly influence their emotions and shape Luo Ye's image in their hearts.
Ignorant of the truth, Zhu Zhuqing walked and stole sideways glances at Luo Ye. Ever since a moment ago, she had felt that something was a bit off about him-especially the way he had looked at her, which left Zhu Zhuqing at a loss. Yet she dared not ask him directly; if it turned out she was just being narcissistic, that would be far too embarrassing.
Right as Zhu Zhuqing found herself in a dilemma, she suddenly discovered a diary appearing within her mind, striking words written clearly across its cover.
[Luo Ye's Diary (Zhu Zhuqing's Exclusive Copy)]
"Luo Ye's diary? Why is my name on this? And why has it appeared inside my head?"
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned, completely baffled by this sudden development. Just as she wanted to speak up and inquire, the diary suddenly opened, and its contents laid themselves bare before her eyes.
[I am Luo Ye, and I have been reborn.]
[I have been reborn to a time before all tragedies occurred, before the Douluo Continent had fallen, and before the soul beasts were slaughtered and enslaved.]
[As the Child of Fortune chosen by the plane will of the Douluo Continent, I failed to live up to Its trust in my past life, unable to save the situation, and ultimately fell short by a single move, losing to the Extraterrestrial Demon.]
[Fortunately I have been reborn, given a chance to start over. This time, I will undoubtedly shatter the conspiracy of the Divine Realm and slay that Extraterrestrial Demon named Tang San!]
[I am extremely confident in this, because apart from the foresight of my rebirth, I have also obtained this mysterious diary. As long as I persist in writing a diary every day, I will acquire all sorts of rewards that will allow me to grow faster than I did in my past life.]
[Just like in my previous life, I met Zhu Zhuqing and obtained the sacrifice of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in the Star Dou Great Forest, acquiring a million-year-level third soul ring.]
A million-year-level third soul ring?!
Seeing the text written in the diary, Zhu Zhuqing's pupils violently contracted, her pretty face etched with an expression of sheer disbelief.
As the daughter of the Zhu Family head, Zhu Zhuqing could be said to have witnessed many powerhouses and heard of numerous legendary deeds.
Yet within her understanding, a hundred-thousand-year soul beast was already the most powerful existence among soul beasts; she had never even heard of a million-year-level soul beast.
What on earth was going on here?
Was what was written in the diary true?
Had Luo Ye really been reborn?
Zhu Zhuqing's heart felt as though it were being scratched by a kitten, desperate to know the truth. After hesitating repeatedly, she ultimately could not hold back, opening her mouth to ask directly.
"Luo Ye, your..."
Zhu Zhuqing's words stopped abruptly before she could finish them.
It was not that she no longer wanted to ask, but rather that she suddenly felt as though her heart had been gripped by an invisible giant hand, a wave of suffocation washing over her and leaving her unable to breathe.
This made her clearly realize that as long as she continued speaking, this force would crush her heart and kill her on the spot.
What on earth is going on? Why is it like this?
Zhu Zhuqing clutched her chest, beads of cold sweat welling up on her smooth, fair forehead.
Luo Ye knew why Zhu Zhuqing was acting this way, yet he still feigned ignorance, supporting her arm with a look of extreme panic and asking with apparent concern.
"What's wrong, Zhuqing?"
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. The moment she dismissed the thought of questioning Luo Ye about the diary, that mysterious force truly vanished, along with the suffocation she had felt just moments before.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. Let's continue on our way."
After setting off once more, Zhu Zhuqing inspected the diary in her mind again. The several rules displayed upon it allowed her to thoroughly comprehend why that previous situation had occurred.
[The rules of the diary copy are as follows.]
[One: The copy owner whose name is mentioned in the diary each day can obtain points rewards. (Points can be used to purchase items in the Shop)]
[Two: A copy owner who reads the diary contents consecutively for one month will obtain a random reward. (Rewards include, but are not limited to, soul power, soul bones, soul rings, etc.)]
[Three: The copy owner must not leak the existence of the diary to outsiders, nor may they harm the master of the diary, otherwise the diary copy will be stripped away and they will face obliteration.]
[Four: Copy owners must not harm each other, nor are they permitted to seize rewards; otherwise, bear the consequences at your own risk.]
[Note: More functions will open in the future, please wait patiently.]
Must not reveal the existence of the diary to others? Does that include Luo Ye, the master of this diary too?
Zhu Zhuqing wore a thoughtful expression, casting a quiet, nonchalant glance at Luo Ye before continuing to read the subsequent content.
[Although I went to Shrek Academy together with Zhuqing in my previous life, because I felt our ideals were incompatible with those fellows, I chose to leave, joined Spirit Hall, and was even taken as a disciple by Pope Bibi Dong.]
[Precisely because of this, by the next time I saw Zhuqing, she had already been deceived by the facades of Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others, becoming their companion. It took an arduous amount of grueling effort for Zhuqing to finally see their true faces, allowing her to break away from Shrek Academy.]
[I must never repeat that mistake this time; I am going to stay at Shrek Academy, let Zhuqing see through the true ugly faces of those fellows in advance, and I can even attempt to take Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu away as well.]
[After all, the two of them are Zhuqing's best friends, yet later on they were both harmed to death by Tang San. Even their families and friends failed to escape the calamity: Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo died miserably, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect perished, the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape were slaughtered because Tang San needed their soul rings and soul bones, and even Xiao Wu was forced to sacrifice herself to him due to Tang San's scheming.]
