“This stinky Junior Brother, he’s quite considerate.”
After Su Ling'er finished reading the diary content, she reluctantly praised him.
She naturally didn't know what benefits Chu Ge could gain from Ye Chen.
But a moment's thought was enough to understand that Chu Ge intended to completely wring out all the benefits he could from Ye Chen, the Child of Destiny, before mercilessly harvesting him.
His methods were somewhat ruthless and cold-blooded, but Su Ling'er had no objections to this; in fact, she even found it somewhat admirable.
The cultivation world was inherently cruel, and having been born into a prominent clan since childhood, she had understood this early on.
Even her own hands were not unstained by blood.
Because of the Diary Copy, she naturally leaned towards Chu Ge's side.
As for Ye Chen, she had no good impression of him; his unsettlingly sinister smile was still fresh in her memory.
.....................
“Oh? Chu Ge’s thoughts align perfectly with mine. I truly didn't misjudge him; Shizhi and I will get along very well.”
“Shimei, what do you think?”
Tantai Jinglian looked at Luo Huangjun beside her with a smile.
At the same time, she had other conjectures in her heart.
Luo Huangjun frowned slightly.
Her Shijie still hadn't given up on her ideas about Chu Ge.
“Shijie, please maintain your dignity.”
She spoke indifferently, seemingly unperturbed.
“Indeed, this child is now very fond of you, Shimei, at 71 points, quite a bit higher than me. This feeling of being surpassed by Shimei is truly a bit unpleasant.......”
Tantai Jinglian's smile remained bright and enchanting.
A panel appeared in her mind.
Name: Tantai Jinglian.
Appearance: 10.
Affection: 64.
“........”
Luo Huangjun was silent.
“Should I try to make contact with that ‘old man’? It could also be considered preparation for Chu Ge?”
Seeing Luo Huangjun speechless, Tantai Jinglian didn't mind and continued to speak to herself.
A cunning smile hung on her face.
If her perception was correct, that so-called ‘old man’ should actually be a woman.
She was looking forward to seeing Chu Ge's stunned expression after interacting with this ‘old man’; it would surely be extremely entertaining.
“Since Shijie has this intention, then go ahead. If you need anything, just say the word.”
Luo Huangjun did not remain silent this time.
“Hehe, as expected, once things involve Chu Ge, Shimei becomes especially attentive, doesn't she?”
Tantai Jinglian teased, her eyes playfully watching Luo Huangjun until her figure gradually disappeared.
“Attentive?”
Luo Huangjun lightly covered her chest with her jade hand, muttering to herself.
....................
Time flowed by, and in a flash, it was deep into the night.
“Ding, beginning diary reward settlement. Congratulations to host for receiving daily cultivation reward, Star Aperture +2.”
The System's prompt in his mind woke Chu Ge.
He tried to convert his already opened acupoints into Star Apertures, and unexpectedly became completely engrossed, with several hours quietly passing without him noticing.
However, the gains were considerable; he had already converted one-eighth of his acupoints, and his strength had made significant progress.
Upon claiming the System's reward, his Star Apertures increased by another 2.
This feeling of clearly perceiving one's own progress and becoming stronger was truly wonderful.
This was also the first time he had claimed the daily diary cultivation reward after upgrading the diary section, and it must be said it was truly powerful, starting with a bang and giving him the full reward.
The daily check-in and diary had already refreshed, but Chu Ge didn't complete them immediately.
He had other things to do, concerning Ye Chen.
“System, view Ye Chen's ‘future trajectory’.”
Summoning the System in his mind, Chu Ge issued the command.
“System, is this ‘future trajectory’ Ye Chen's original future, or a future altered by me?”
Chu Ge simultaneously posed the question.
This question was very important; if it was just Ye Chen's original future, its utility might be greatly diminished.
Because of his appearance as a transmigrator with the System, and having already formed karmic enmity with Ye Chen, the future's direction had most likely already changed.
If it was Ye Chen's original future trajectory, it could only serve as a reference for Chu Ge.
Only the latter would be of immense use and bring Chu Ge considerable benefits.
“Ding, it is a segment of the future trajectory that has changed after the host's appearance.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Ge's eyes lit up.
“Good, let's begin then.”
Closing his eyes, Chu Ge only felt the System's light screen flicker in his mind. Then, an image slowly unfolded, like watching a 3D movie, giving a sense of immersion.
After a long while, Chu Ge opened his eyes.
“System, why are parts of this future trajectory concerning me, and even Master and Shimei, blurred?”
Chu Ge saw much of Ye Chen's future, but he also had doubts in his heart.
“Because the host is constantly influencing the future. The host's future can never be predicted, and those around the host who interact with them will also be affected, making their futures unpredictable.”
“Is that so.......”
Chu Ge fell into contemplation.
He was somewhat concerned about the System's statement of ‘constantly influencing the future’.
‘Because I am a transmigrator, as long as I exist in this world, will I influence the future?’
Thoughts flashed through Chu Ge's mind, but he always felt there was more to it than just that.
However, he did not dwell on it excessively.
Matters concerning the future could never be fully sorted out.
Even with meticulous analysis, it would be difficult to clarify, so it was better to take things one step at a time.
Moreover, this was not necessarily a bad thing for Chu Ge.
Even the System couldn't predict it, which meant his future was only in his own hands.
As a transmigrator, he was someone who shouldn't have existed in this world.
Therefore, every thought and action of his, Chu Ge, would change the future of others.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Chu Ge refocused his attention on the series of futures concerning Ye Chen.
This segment of the future trajectory was not long, only half a month.
But in just this half-month, Ye Chen actually found three opportunities!
In the Inner Sect market, Ye Chen stumbled upon a treasure that could increase cultivation speed.
In the Scripture Pavilion, Ye Chen unexpectedly obtained a remnant page of an ancient spiritual technique.
Within a long-abandoned peak in the Taihuang Peaks, Ye Chen acquired the Relics of a Six Heavens Cultivator.
It must be said that the Child of Destiny's fortune was truly profound.
Although these things were not great opportunities for Chu Ge, for Ye Chen, they were undoubtedly a godsend.
With the help of these opportunities, in the grand competition a month later, if there hadn't been the variable of Chu Ge, Ye Chen would have very likely shone brightly!
“Good opportunities, but soon, they will be mine........”
Chu Ge smiled, a plan already forming in his mind.
