Chapter 61: Chapter 61: The Women: System, You're Such a Troll! You've Totally Fooled Su Ming!
After finishing his diary, Su Ming resumed his cultivation. Since the fourth spirit ring from Ah Yin was only at two thousand years, his spirit power was currently at level 41—just shy of reaching level 42. With a few more days of training, he expected he could make a breakthrough.
The most exciting moment was fast approaching: midnight.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing today's diary. Reward granted:]
[Ah Yin's Blue Silver Emperor cultivation increased to twenty thousand years]
[Automatic Spirit Power Cultivation Device]
[The first and second spirit rings' age upgraded to ten thousand years]
Boom!
Su Ming's spirit power shot up from the peak of level 41 to level 43!
If his spirit power quality wasn't so high, he might have been able to rise even further.
Originally, Su Ming thought he'd need a few days of solid training to break through, but with just one spirit ring enhancement tonight, he'd hit level 43 in a flash—how exhilarating!
Curious, Su Ming then examined the "Automatic Spirit Power Cultivation Device" to see what it could do.
[Automatic Spirit Power Cultivation Device: This device allows the host's spirit to increase its spirit power every seven days, with an amplification between 0.01% and 1%.]
Ah Yin: ...
Seeing the reward, Su Ming's eyes lit up. Not bad—this was perfect for Ah Yin, helping her to recover her cultivation more quickly.
Since it was midnight, Su Ming couldn't release his spirit ring or bring Ah Yin out physically, so he communicated with her in his spiritual space.
Looking at the slightly more solidified form of Ah Yin, Su Ming asked, "Ah Yin, do you feel anything different? Has your cultivation improved?"
Ah Yin sensed her cultivation—indeed, it had increased, but it seemed more like the system had "unsealed" it, raising her original two-thousand-year cultivation to twenty thousand years. Could this really be called an improvement?
At this moment, Ah Yin's diary also displayed a sentence:
[It's time for you to shine!]
Ah Yin:
Honestly, this system was too cruel.
Nonetheless, Ah Yin put on a surprised expression and exclaimed, "Su Ming, how did you do it? My cultivation suddenly shot up from two thousand years to twenty thousand!"
Su Ming chuckled mysteriously. "You don't need to know how. Just know that if you follow me, your strength will skyrocket! Plus, I have a way to let your spirit power increase periodically!"
Ah Yin seemed to guess something but asked cautiously, "What way?"
In the spiritual space, Su Ming spread his hands, revealing an exquisitely crafted Ocean's Heart necklace.
"This little thing—don't be fooled by its appearance as just a pretty necklace. Actually, every seven days, it can increase your cultivation by a small amount. So, do you want it?"
That's right—the so-called "Automatic Spirit Power Cultivation Device" the system gave him looked like a beautiful blue necklace. At first, Su Ming was astonished; the design was really unusual. Ordinary people would never guess this necklace could assist spirit power cultivation!
Ah Yin felt a million curses surge in her heart. This system was truly over-the-top. Wasn't this just an ordinary necklace?
But to keep Su Ming from noticing anything odd, the system had really done everything it could to cover up its tracks.
Look at him—Su Ming was utterly fooled, thinking he'd gotten two incredible rewards when, in reality, they were useless.
Still, the necklace did look quite nice.
Ah Yin put it on, feigning excitement. "Really?!"
Su Ming smiled. "Of course it's yours! And since you're now my spirit companion, we're a team. As your power increases, so does mine."
"Now that your cultivation has reached ten thousand years, we should be able to achieve a basic level of telepathy. You should sense roughly what's on my mind. I haven't lied to you."
Suddenly, a thought occurred to Su Ming, and he hurriedly asked the system, "System, since Ah Yin and I are now somewhat telepathic, won't she sense your presence?"
[Ding! No, the system is automatically shielded!]
"Phew, that's a relief."
Ah Yin: System, are you sure you're actually shielded? Even if you are, I can still read the diary!
There was no risk that Su Ming would find out Ah Yin had a diary copy, as she trusted the system would have prepared for that.
Since he'd already given Ah Yin the "Automatic Spirit Power Cultivation Device," Su Ming exited the spiritual space.
Next, he examined the changes in his spirit rings.
A smile crossed his face; just as he expected, his spirit skills had improved after reaching the ten-thousand-year level!
The effect of his first skill, Wood's Tenacity, increased from 30% to 50%.
The second skill, Renewal, initially granted a 30% increase to his total spirit power as a passive effect, with an active effect of restoring 30% of his spirit power once per hour. Now, not only had the effect improved to 50%, but the cooldown had been reduced from one hour to thirty minutes.
After inspecting his rewards for the evening, Su Ming felt like he'd gotten lucky again—a true jackpot worth recording in his diary.
What he didn't know was that, of these three rewards, only the third one was genuine. The other two were just the system's way of fooling him to prevent suspicion.
Ah Yin's true cultivation was already forty thousand years, so saying it had been "raised" to twenty thousand was hardly wrong.
As for the periodic power growth, Ah Yin's spirit power was already increasing every seven days. The so-called "Automatic Spirit Power Cultivation Device" was only to keep Su Ming from noticing anything.
The system thought this was more than reasonable.
[I'm so thrilled—I hit the jackpot again today with some awesome rewards!]
Su Ming's first sentence piqued the curiosity of the women around him. They all wondered what Su Ming had received, except for Ah Yin.
To her, the system's actions were just shameless. Fooling its host so thoroughly was beyond cruel. Look at Su Ming—he was completely duped!
[First off, the system increased Ah Yin's cultivation from two thousand to twenty thousand years. Also, my first and second spirit rings were boosted to ten thousand years, which raised my spirit power from level 41 to level 43. How amazing is that!]
[I thought it would take a few days to go from 41 to 42, but a single reward did it—so satisfying!]
As the women looked at the diary, their expressions turned strange. If they remembered correctly, Ah Yin's cultivation was more than just twenty thousand years, wasn't it?
Was the system giving Su Ming "rewards of nothing"?
