Chapter 7: An Accidental Encounter with the Rogue Rabbit—Xiao Wu on the Verge of Tears
Nuoding Academy.
Lin Chen was currently busy searching for his own private dormitory.
Originally, he was only qualified to live in the work-study student dorms. After all, just like Tang San, he was also a work-study student.
However, after awakening the Diary System, the newbie gift pack directly rewarded him with a full one thousand Gold Soul Coins.
This reward might not be particularly helpful for cultivation itself, but it could greatly improve his quality of life, making his training far more comfortable.
Thus, after obtaining this huge sum of Gold Soul Coins, Lin Chen reported to the Academic Affairs Office and spent money to book a single, private dormitory for himself.
He no longer needed to squeeze together with a bunch of work-study students, nor did he need to worry about Tang San noticing him while cultivating the Nine Yang Divine Art. He could train as he pleased, without any restraint.
"Hm? That looks like… Xiao Wu?"
"But why is she crying?"
While searching for his dorm, Lin Chen spotted a cute girl wearing a pink dress with a pair of iconic bunny ears.
With just one glance, Lin Chen recognized her—this was that hundred-thousand-year-old Rogue Rabbit, Xiao Wu.
What puzzled him, however, was why this Rogue Rabbit was suddenly crying here at Nuoding Academy.
"Did the Rogue Rabbit just leave the Star Dou Forest and start feeling homesick?"
"Isn't her psychological endurance a bit too weak?"
[The three famous figures of Douluo Continent, Little Scoundrel, Gangzi, and Rogue Rabbit—I've now seen them all. Might as well write a diary entry to commemorate it.]
[I just ran into the Rogue Rabbit Xiao Wu. Bunny ears, pink dress—this is 100% Xiao Wu. What I'm curious about is why she suddenly started crying. Could it be that she's homesick?]
[If that's really the case, then her psychological resilience is honestly pretty poor. Back when I awakened the same trash martial soul as Yu Xiaogang's version of Luo Sanpao, I was indeed disappointed—but I still persevered and kept working hard.]
[To me, those were nothing more than minor trials. Sigh… I've finally made it through. Now I'm also a lucky person with a system.]
[As long as I lie low properly, don't seek the spotlight, and just write my diary every day, I'll definitely achieve something in the future.]
[Achieving immortality and becoming a god in the Douluo Continent would be effortless—and there might even be a chance to transcend the entire Douluo Universe and ascend to higher-dimensional worlds.]
[Right now, the most important thing is to stay far away from Xiao Wu, this hot potato. That way, Tang Hao won't notice me.]
[A Titled Douluo like Tang Hao loves bullying the weak with overwhelming power. Before I have any real means of self-preservation, I'd better stay far away from trouble like Xiao Wu.]
As Lin Chen updated his diary—
Xiao Wu, who was not far from him, also began reading the contents of the black diary notebook.
"Lin Chen… the diary owner… saw me?"
After reading the diary, Xiao Wu suddenly reacted. She immediately looked around and soon spotted a handsome boy who looked like a fallen immortal.
The boy had fair skin and a pair of golden eyes that shone brightly, as if they could speak.
'So… that handsome boy is Lin Chen?'
Xiao Wu was deeply shocked. She never expected that she would be this close to Lin Chen, the diary owner.
Not only that—she and Lin Chen were actually attending the same academy, Nuoding Academy!
Didn't that mean that the useless trash Yu Xiaogang was also a teacher at Nuoding Academy?
Xiao Wu continued reading.
'Rogue Rabbit… has Lin Chen discovered my true identity?'
Her heart tightened instantly.
She began to suspect that Lin Chen already knew her true identity as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
After all, Lin Chen had previously mentioned that their world was actually a novel world.
When she reached the end and saw that a Titled Douluo was watching over her—
Xiao Wu's entire body trembled, her heart pounding violently.
At this point, she was completely certain—
Lin Chen already knew that she was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
But what was she supposed to do now?
Xiao Wu didn't know.
For a fleeting moment, she wanted to immediately run back to the Star Dou Forest.
Yet when her life was truly at stake, her mind became unnervingly clear.
Under the watchful eye of a Titled Douluo, how could she possibly escape?
The moment she showed even the slightest intention of running away, the Titled Douluo hidden in the shadows would undoubtedly make a move—capturing her and keeping her under confinement.
'What should I do…?'
'I've just seen hope for reviving Mom. I haven't brought Mom back yet—I can't die.'
At this moment, Xiao Wu was on the verge of tears, utterly helpless.
If she had known this would happen, she never would have come to Nuoding City.
Even if you beat her to death, she would never have imagined that such a tiny place like Nuoding City could be hiding a Titled Douluo.
Her luck was truly atrocious.
[Hm?]
[Why is this Rogue Rabbit looking at me? I get it now—it must be because I'm too handsome.]
[As expected of the Rogue Rabbit—she noticed me instantly. Looks like no matter where I go, I'm always that eye-catching. Truly born with natural beauty that can't be ignored.]
Seeing Xiao Wu looking at him, Lin Chen assumed the Rogue Rabbit was eyeing his body.
He was very confident.
Setting everything else aside, he really was handsome.
He was an orphan, yet he'd lived quite comfortably over the past few years—all thanks to his handsome face.
Whenever the uncles and aunties in the village saw him, they'd pinch his cheeks a bit, then stuff him with delicious food.
[Still, I absolutely can't let Xiao Wu set her sights on me. For now, the Rogue Rabbit is nothing but a massive source of trouble.]
[At the very least, I need to wait a year. After a year, Tang Hao will leave Nuoding City—only then can I truly do whatever I want.]
[Within this year, the farther I stay from Xiao Wu, the better.]
After writing this final line, Lin Chen put away the black diary notebook—visible only to himself—back into his mind.
At the same time—
A series of mechanical sounds slowly echoed within Lin Chen's consciousness.
[Congratulations, Host, for completing the first day's diary entry.]
[As this is the host's first completed diary entry, reward multiplier activated.]
[Congratulations, Host, on obtaining: Innate Soul Power +2.5 levels (talent enhancement), ten tons of Thousand-Year True Dragon Meat (edible).] (True Dragon Meat has been stored in the system space.)
When the system's mechanical voice faded, an invisible stream of light instantly surged into Lin Chen's body.
That light continuously refined and transformed his physique.
In an instant, Lin Chen's innate soul power rose to Rank 3.
This change in his soul power produced no external fluctuations whatsoever.
Even if an Ultimate Titled Douluo stood right in front of him, they would be completely unable to sense any change in Lin Chen's soul power.
'Not bad, not bad.'
'Just one day, and my innate soul power has increased by two and a half levels—my talent has been altered.'
'And there's also this True Dragon Meat. I can feed it to the Golden Dragon later, letting it evolve into a Golden Holy Dragon as soon as possible.'
Lin Chen was very satisfied with the rewards of the first day.
Although the first day's rewards were boosted by a multiplier, the real strength of the Diary System lay in its long-term potential.
As his diary entries accumulated, Lin Chen believed that before long, he would become a peerless powerhouse on the continent.
Meanwhile—
The Diary Copy Holder Chat Group had already exploded into chaos.
Because Xiao Wu was now completely panicking.
