Chapter 80: The Notebook Split Again?
They scoffed at Bai Yu’s self-praise. “You, kind-hearted? You, a guy who takes pleasure in teasing others, dare to call yourself kind?”
To them, although Bai Yu in this life hadn't engaged in widespread slaughter, according to the Chronicle of Light and Shadow, he was either pranking people for fun every day or on his way to prank people for fun!
His life could be described as colorful; while not truly evil, he could definitely be considered a ‘great villain’!
Bai Yu didn't know that everyone was practically despising him to the heavens; he was still extending his long pole, fishing for the Silver Dragon King!
“However, this problem is a bit tricky. This is a characteristic of Nine Heart Sea Tang: quantity limitation! To change it, the inheritance framework can only be broken down and reassembled!”
“But breaking down and reassembling a Spirit not only requires precise control but also immense energy, especially for Nine Heart Sea Tang, which requires life energy!”
“If it were elemental energy, it would be easy to say, but this life energy… tsk, I wonder where the Silver Dragon King ran off to? I just met her two days ago, and she even gave herself a name, Gu Yuena!”
Inside a small courtyard in Heaven Dou City, Gu Yuena saw herself mentioned in the copy, raised her eyebrows, and thought, “Is this guy trying to scheme against me?”
“I'll look for her in Heaven Dou City tomorrow. If I can find her, I'll ask her for two water-drop-sized pieces of life gold. She has such a large piece, so taking two small ones shouldn't be a problem, right?”
“If I can't find her, it'll be a bit troublesome. I don't have spatial force to run all over the continent!”
“Speaking of which, she wouldn't refuse me and then turn around and slap me, would she? Probably not. She can sense that my power is useful to her, and she'll need me to help her heal her injuries in the future!”
“In any case, she has a favor to ask of me. With her personality, she should be willing to part with just two small pieces of life gold!”
“Forget it, don't think about these things. I haven't found her yet, so thinking is useless. I'll talk about it tomorrow. Time to sleep!”
Gu Yuena finished reading the content, a smile appearing on her face as she murmured,
“So that's what he's planning. But he's right, life gold is just for stabilizing injuries. What's the harm in giving you some?”
“But you need to cultivate quickly. If you keep being so idle all day, I might just capture you!”
As her voice fell, Gu Yuena stood up, waved her hand forward, and a spatial rift appeared. She then stepped into it.
On the other side, Zi Ji was eating snacks and looking at a picture book when she suddenly felt a spirit power fluctuation. She looked up and saw a spatial rift slowly disappearing.
The snack in her hand dropped to the ground with a smack, her eyes glazed over, and she mumbled,
“It's over! I lost my Lord! Ditian, my Lord ran away!”
She immediately stood up and released her perception. After confirming she couldn't find her, she was about to rush out to search when she heard a crisp 'crack'.
Another spatial rift appeared, and Gu Yuena slowly walked out of it.
“Lord! Where did you go? I was so worried I was about to die! Next time you go out, you must take me with you!”
When Zi Ji saw Gu Yuena appear, she immediately hugged her arm, wailing.
Gu Yuena's eyelids twitched slightly, her expression a little helpless. She was a bit displeased but found it hard to get angry.
“Alright! I just went back to Life Lake to get something. I'm not dead, so what are you wailing about?”
Zi Ji was scolded by Gu Yuena and swallowed her words, but she still held onto her arm and wouldn't let go.
After Bai Yu finished writing in the notebook, he suddenly remembered something: Dugu Yan had also become his woman, but she didn't have a copy!
“This broken notebook, one level of spirit power per year, although not of much use to me, is quite useful to others. It can be said to be a treasure.”
“The further Yan Yan goes, the greater the gap between her and the others. Tsk, the key is that this thing can't be kept, and there's no way to swap people. It's a bit annoying!”
Bai Yu scratched his cheek, a hint of annoyance in his eyes, and materialized the notebook in his hand, tossing it back and forth.
“Hmm?”
He suddenly noticed something was off. The main book felt like it could still split?
The current feeling was definitely different from the empty aura after splitting the twelve copies initially!
Ever since Bai Yu distributed the copies, he had kept the main book in his mind, or rather, in his soul.
He hadn't taken it out again until today. The first time he took it out, it seemed to have changed?
Bai Yu immediately sat up and placed his hand on the book, controlling it to split as he had before.
“Ah!?”
Bai Yu was shocked. He never expected it to actually split; one book turned into three!
A somewhat bewildered Bai Yu picked up the main book and probed it with his mental force, preparing to re-read its lousy introduction.
“The Forgetful Notebook, can split into fourteen copies, copies can be given to others…”
After reading it, Bai Yu's face was a bit distorted, laughing in extreme anger. Nothing else changed, only the twelve became fourteen!
“Heh, heh! Fourteen… So, this thing isn't limited to twelve splits, but rather follows my level? Two for every ten levels?”
“And if I hadn't discovered it, these two copies would have flown away on their own in over a month, without even a reminder!”
Bai Yu's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but curse.
“Damn it, this thing is truly abstract! Can't it have a proper instruction manual? Are there any hidden instructions I don't know about?”
“And that owner of the damned system, to create such a thing, their brain must have been kicked by a donkey too!”
He reached up and pressed his forehead. Bai Yu took a long while to accept the fact, put away the main book, and sent the two copies to Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
Then, he lay back expressionlessly, closed his eyes, and pondered in his mind.
“According to the proximity principle, the other one will be given to Lingling. But if it's based on level, I can still have four copies?”
“If there are also some at level 100, then six? Hiss, this broken thing relies entirely on guessing, doesn't it? To hell with it, I'm not thinking about it anymore, I'll know when the time comes!”
As Bai Yu gave up struggling, in Dugu Yan's bedroom next door, the two who had been chatting and laughing suddenly fell silent.
“Chronicle of Light and Shadow?”
“Bai Yu's Chronicle?”
“What is this thing?”
The two asked one question after another, finally in unison, and then looked at each other in surprise.
“You have it too?”
Again, the two asked together. It just goes to show they were truly good sisters; their speaking synchronicity was quite high.
Dugu Yan scratched her hair and said to Ye Lingling,
“It seems we both have it. It looks like a book? Let's take a look. I wonder if the contents are the same!”
Ye Lingling nodded, agreeing with the suggestion.
Originally, she was a little scared, but seeing that her good sister also had one, she instantly wasn't afraid anymore. What comes after 'share the blessings'?
Subsequently, exclamations from the two were continuous, rising and falling.
It was only because the materials used to build the house were good, and the sound insulation was strong, otherwise Bai Yu, who was no more than thirty meters away from them, probably wouldn't have been able to sleep!
And Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were immersed in the lies woven by Bai Yu, unable to extricate themselves! Their emotions soared as they read!
