Time quickly reached past midnight. After claiming the daily diary cultivation reward, Chu Ge's star apertures increased by another +3.
After that, Chu Ge summoned the system.
"System, open the information panel."
[Ding, panel as follows:
Name: Chu Ge
Realm: Aperture-Opening Realm
Villain Points: 25,500
System Modules:
Diary Module (Level 3)
Sign-In Module (Level 2)
Check-In Module (Level 2)
Mission: At the grand competition ...]
For the time being, the system modules were unable to be upgraded.
Upgrading the Diary Module to Level 4 required 80,000 villain points, while upgrading both the Sign-In and Check-In modules required 40,000 points each.
Summoning the diary, Chu Ge thought for a moment. It seemed there wasn't really anything particularly worth recording.
[Today, I intercepted several future opportunities meant for Ye Chen: the relics of a Sixth-Heaven cultivator, a fragment of an ancient spiritual art, and a treasure that accelerates cultivation.]
[These were all the key supports that would allow Ye Chen to rise to fame at the grand competition in the future. Now, they've all fallen into my hands. It's rather interesting—when I went to the inner sect market to take that final opportunity, Ye Chen actually arrived there as well.]
[No need to think too hard about it. It must be the chosen one's luck halo at work. After his opportunity was taken, that karmic halo gave Ye Chen guidance in the unseen world, leading him to the inner sect market. Otherwise, how could such a coincidence exist?]
When they read this, Luo Huangjun and Dantai Jinglian—both owners of the diary copies—slightly frowned.
That day, they had personally witnessed Ye Chen being violently beaten. Although his injuries were not fatal, they were by no means light.
Logically speaking, there was no way he could recover without at least several days of rest.
In just one night, recovery was absolutely impossible.
Yet under some unseen guidance, Ye Chen had actually dragged his injured body to the inner sect market just to contend with Chu Ge for this opportunity that had already been destined to be seized.
Realizing this, both women became keenly aware that the chosen one's luck halo was no simple thing.
[Sigh, didn't see Master at all today. First day not seeing Master—miss her!]
[Oh, right. And Senior Sister too.]
"T-This… This rebellious disciple!"
Luo Huangjun, who had been lost in thought over Ye Chen's so-called luck halo, suddenly saw these newly added lines in the diary copy. In an instant, her mind shook violently.
A flush of crimson surged onto her normally cool and aloof face.
In just the blink of an eye, the red spread visibly across her entire face.
Even her crystal-clear earlobes were tinged with faint redness.
"Nothing but delusional nonsense, rebellious disciple!"
She muttered softly, her chest rising and falling violently, as if she were short of breath.
A dignified Eighth-Heaven venerable, yet at this moment, she was actually finding it hard to breathe because of a single line from Chu Ge.
...
"Bad junior brother! Bad junior brother!"
Su Lingyuan muttered unhappily, extremely dissatisfied with Chu Ge's perfunctory few words.
However, that dissatisfaction was quickly tossed aside.
[Ding! Detected that the daily diary reward of the diary owner Chu Ge has been settled. Copyholder Su Lingyuan has obtained a reward: Seven-Day Cultivation Boost Card.]
The excitement quickly faded—it wasn't the origin reward that Su Lingyuan had been hoping for.
"That's it?"
She muttered a complaint, then immediately used the cultivation card.
...…
"A one-month cultivation boost card? After use, it grants the amount of cultivation progress one would gain from cultivating at their own speed for one full month..."
"Truly miraculous."
Not having received what she wanted, she wasn't discouraged. There was still plenty of time—she would always have a chance later.
Suddenly, the diary copy in her mind trembled slightly. In the next moment, a red notification dot appeared in the friends column.
Luo Huangjun was not unfamiliar with this—it was a prompt indicating that someone had sent her a message through the diary copy.
She tapped it open and discovered that it was actually a message from Dantai Jinglian.
［Dantai Jinglian: What reward did junior sister receive? Mine was a half-month cultivation boost card.］
Only half a month for Senior Sister....
