Diary—Chapter 17: New Rules to Prevent Cheating, Bibi Dong's Confidence
Dormitory of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
"What? Luo Ye's soul power not only increased by one level, but he also gained a second martial soul. And the points I earned are only half of his? Isn't this diary too biased?"
Dugu Yan covered her head with her hands, her hair disheveled, looking completely exasperated.
The main reason for her reaction was that she was in a bad mood upon waking up.
She had been sleeping soundly, but the copy of the diary in her mind kept jumping around, interrupting her sweet dreams. No one would feel good encountering such a thing.
Ye Lingling nearby didn't react as strongly; she merely shook her head slightly.
"It's normal to treat us differently. Luo Ye is the actual owner of the diary. What we have is just a copy."
"But even so, this is already a rare opportunity. Don't forget the treasures in the Points Mall that can shock the entire continent."
Given Ye Lingling's personality, it was rare for her to speak so much at once.
Dugu Yan was persuaded by her and was no longer so angry. Instead, she nodded.
"That's true. Besides earning points every day, if we continue reading the diary for a month, we can also receive additional rewards. I just don't know how good those rewards are."
Ye Lingling thought for a moment and replied,
"It shouldn't be bad, but the specific rewards probably depend on luck—just like the number of points we earn each day."
Hearing this, Dugu Yan looked at her with a hint of resentment and said sourly,
"Yeah, today I only got 5 points, but you got 9 points—just one point short of the maximum."
According to the rules of the diary copy, the points they earn each day are limited. As long as their names are mentioned in the diary, they are guaranteed at least 1 point, with a maximum of 10 points.
It's not surprising that Luo Ye got 10 points; after all, he is the true owner of the diary and also the son of destiny chosen by the will of the plane. Naturally, he's lucky.
But the huge gap between her and Ye Lingling made Dugu Yan feel a bit unbearable.
It's certainly hard to accept when your best friend succeeds, but even harder to see her doing so effortlessly.
Ye Lingling rolled her eyes and said calmly,
"I was just lucky this time. But I have a hypothesis about how the points are awarded daily—I don't know if it's correct, though."
Hearing this, Dugu Yan quickly moved closer and deliberately put on a flattering expression.
"Okay, Lingling, tell me your guess."
Ye Lingling, accustomed to her friend's lively personality, didn't react much and spoke directly.
"I think that if Luo Ye mentions me more often in his diary every day, I'll probably get more points the next day. If I'm only mentioned once, then it's mostly just luck."
"Of course, this is just my guess. I'll keep track later to see if it's true."
Dugu Yan felt this made sense, and just as she was about to agree, she suddenly thought of something and said subconsciously,
"But what if Luo Ye doesn't write our names in the diary in the future?"
Ye Lingling's face froze, and she fell silent for a moment.
Luo Ye was at Shrek Academy, and they were students of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Naturally, there was no direct connection between them, so there was no guarantee their names would appear in the diary every day.
Faced with this situation, Ye Lingling didn't know what to do either.

"Teacher, why don't we kidnap Luo Ye here now? At worst, we can bring Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong along too,"
Hu Liena suggested seriously.
Bibi Dong glanced at her calmly.
"Why? Are you not satisfied with 7 points?"
Hu Liena sighed.
"It's not dissatisfaction; I just think the process is too slow. There are many items in the Points Mall I want, but I can only earn at most 10 points each day. I don't know when I'll be able to afford them."
She hadn't felt this way yesterday because she didn't realize that the daily maximum points were only 10.
Now, after seeing the new rules, Hu Liena couldn't sit still.
You know, if Luo Ye doesn't know about the copy of the diary, he won't earn points.
If this continues, it will take a very long time before she can buy what she wants.
Knowing she would be on the opposite side of Tang San and the God Realm in the future, she naturally wanted to improve her strength as quickly as possible.
Not only Hu Liena, but even Bibi Dong herself envied the items available in the Points Mall.
However, she still refused Hu Liena's proposal.
"No, the new rules state that we cannot let Luo Ye know we have a copy of the diary, or we'll face consequences. If he finds out, we might lose access to it, which would be a bigger loss for us."
Hearing this, Hu Liena lay weakly on the table, feeling distressed.
The new rules added to the diary today—beyond the daily points limit—stipulated that Luo Ye must not discover they had obtained a copy of the diary.
Otherwise, based on her understanding of Bibi Dong, she would probably immediately head to Shrek Academy and bring Luo Ye back by any means.
She couldn't just sit here and do nothing.
"It seems the diary was restricted to prevent us from cheating with Luo Ye," Bibi Dong said thoughtfully.
After all, if Luo Ye knew they had a copy of the diary and could earn points as a reward whenever their name appeared, he would surely write everyone's name daily.
This way, the owners of the diary copies could keep earning rewards continuously and have more leverage when confronting the gods in the future.
What a pity—this cheat path has been blocked by the diary.
After Bibi Dong's reminder, Hu Liena also understood and expressed her dissatisfaction with the restriction.
"Then what should we do? Just accept our fate?"
Bibi Dong had no good ideas and said calmly after a moment of silence.
"Luo Ye will leave Shrek Academy sooner or later. Given his relationship with us, if he can convince the three women from Shrek to leave together, their first choice will be Spirit Hall."
"So, there's no need to rush. Just wait."
As Luo Ye's former teacher and someone he regarded as a relative, Bibi Dong was very confident about this plan.
