Chapter 25: Rewards Are Scrambled For
A crisp notification sounded.
Ding!
[Chat Group has leveled up. The host may choose one person from the Douluo World to invite as a new member.]
"Oh?"
Su Yan instantly sat up in excitement and asked in his spiritual sea:
"Chat Group, can I only invite someone from the Douluo World?"
"Can't I invite someone from a proper high-tier xuanhuan world?"
Ding!
[Whenever a member from another world joins, the cross-world teleportation function will activate. With the host's current strength, inviting members from other worlds is temporarily unsupported.]
Hearing this, Su Yan felt helpless.
He originally planned to invite someone from a true high-fantasy world—then simply copy any random cultivation technique from there, and he would be invincible in Douluo.
But it seems he couldn't take a shortcut.
Since he was stuck within the several Douluo timelines…
Fine. He would just invite someone from Douluo 1 for now!
His current strength wasn't enough to bring in people from future eras. Otherwise, not only would they steal his job of dropping explosive gossip, but once teleportation activates, who knows what kind of chaos it would cause?
Thousands of years later, there was even soul tool technology—if he accidentally brought someone like that in, and that person got manipulated by Bibi Dong…?
The entire Douluo 1 world would suffer miserably.
He needed to improve his strength first—strong enough to suppress Bibi Dong and handle emergencies from other worlds. Then he would have no worries.
"For now, invite someone from Douluo 1."
Ding!
[Randomly inviting a new member from the Douluo 1 World.]
Heaven Dou City.
Moon Pavilion.
Tang Yuehua was sleeping peacefully when a sudden voice echoed inside her mind.
[Welcome to the "A Family of Love and Hate Group."]
Tang Yuehua: ???
At first, she thought she was dreaming. But when she opened her eyes and found a jade mirror in her hand—one that displayed the message—she rubbed her eyes and reluctantly accepted reality.
"A Family of Love and Hate?"
"What?"
Tang Yuehua's face was full of confusion. She tapped the chat group interface to check the contents.
One glance—
She froze.
She saw the list of group members. And the moment she saw the name Bibi Dong, she jolted upright in fear.
Wait?
Me?
Tang Yuehua?
In the same family as Bibi Dong?
???
Her brain nearly short-circuited.
She and Bibi Dong were mortal enemies. No matter how many lifetimes passed, they could never be "family."
A Family of Love and Hate?
A Family of Hate, yes.
Family of Love? Impossible!
Tang Yuehua stood up, pulled on a sheer veil to cover her figure, and began examining this so-called "A Family of Love and Hate Chat Group."
[Su Yan has changed the group name to "Douluo World Chat Group."]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess changed the group name to "A Loving Family."]
[I Am an Orphan changed the group name to "A Family of Love and Hate."]
Tang Yuehua: ???
Staring at this series of notifications, she became even more speechless.
A Douluo World chat group.
That part she could understand.
But…
A loving family??
How dare you even imagine that!?
[Su Yan: Why are you two messing with the group name!? New members won't understand a thing when they join!]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: I think "A Loving Family" sounds warm and cozy. Why insist on 'A Family of Love and Hate'?]
[I Am an Orphan: Because while we can be one family in the chat, we absolutely cannot love each other. A Family of Love and Hate makes perfect sense.]
[Bibi Dong: Where's the reward?]
Seeing the chat messages, Su Yan couldn't help laughing helplessly.
"Chat Group, distribute the level-up rewards."
Ding!
[Rewards are being distributed randomly.]
[Congratulations to the host—obtained: +1 rank of soul power.]
[Congratulations to the host—obtained: God-given Soul Ring (Advanced Version).]
[God-given Soul Ring (Advanced Version):
1. A soul ring granted by the system, automatically generated at the highest level the user can endure.
2. The soul ring will automatically increase its age according to the host's cultivation.
3. The user may freely design and create their own soul skills.
4. The soul ring can replace an existing ring and become the new one.]
[Distribute group member rewards now?]
"Huh?"
After reading the soul ring's introduction, Su Yan was stunned.
Holy Cow—
This thing was insane.
A God-given Soul Ring that can automatically upgrade its age?
Custom-design soul skills?
Replace existing soul rings?
As expected of the System.
What kind of God-given Soul Ring is this? You should just call it a System-bestowed soul ring. Who wouldn't understand the value of that 'System' word!
God?
God is nothing.
Even a Da Luo Golden Immortal is not as good as a single hair of you, System.
"Distribute the group-member rewards!"
[Chat Group leveled up. Group member rewards are now being distributed at random.]
[Reward: God-given Soul Ring (Advanced Version).]
[God-given Soul Ring (Advanced Version):
1. A soul ring granted by the system, generated at the maximum level the user can tolerate.
2. The soul ring's age will automatically increase with the host's strength.
3. The user may freely design and create custom soul skills.
4. The soul ring can replace an existing ring and become the new ring.]
[All group members may participate in the reward draw.]
Everyone: ???
At that moment, every single person was stunned by the pop-up in the chat group.
A God-given Soul Ring!
None of them had ever heard of such a thing.
And can it auto-upgrade its age?
Custom-create soul skills?!
My god.
This was simply impossible to accept calmly.
Normally, you could choose a suitable soul skill from general categories. Now the system lets you handcraft your own soul skill?
Replace existing soul rings?
So even a first soul ring could become an unlimited-age ring?
Is the chat group for real?
We thought it was just a gossip tool—and now you're handing out cheat-level rewards, and they're this overpowered?
Terrifying.
Before everyone had time to fully digest the news, someone in the group had already moved to grab the reward.
The first to snatch it was Su Yan—three dice appeared next to his name.
[Su Yan: 3 2 5.]
[Su Yan: Blue Silver… damn it!]
Pope's bedroom.
Bibi Dong's face went blank.
What the—?
This reward is practically tailor-made for her. If the description of this advanced God-given soul ring is accurate, whoever gets it will become the top expert in the Douluo world.
What Qian Daoliu, what Tang Chen, what Bo Saixi—Douluo will have only one ruler: Bibi Dong.
Smells good!
Smells so good!
Bibi Dong trembled with excitement and hastily clicked the dice to join the draw.
Douluo continent—your queen arrives. Tremble!
[Bibi Dong: 1 3 2.]
[Bibi Dong: ???]
[Su Yan: pfft.]
Prince's Mansion.
Qian Renxue and Hu Liena stared at each other in astonishment.
No words were needed—their determined looks said one thing: Grab it!
[Hu Liena: 2 3 4.]
[I Am an Orphan: 4 1 3.]
[Hu Liena: Am I understanding correctly? The one with the highest total of the three dice wins?]
[Su Yan: Yes. Right now I'm leading comfortably with ten points total.]
Blue Tyrant Academy.
Liu Erlong sat there dazed.
Completely dazed.
A system reward like this would make even a transmigrator jump for joy. For people from the original world who'd never seen such things, they could hardly breathe. They were so excited.
'Bibi Dong! Watch me overtake you step by step.'
[My Surname is Not Yu: 1 1 2.]
[My Surname is Not Yu: I slipped—can I reroll?]
