Alright, even if the diary hadn't given this reminder, Shinomiya Kaguya knew that she definitely had no way of solving this commission.
Yotsuya Miko had just navigated to that place on her phone, and it had already caused the diary to deduct Reading Points to issue a warning.
And the Godly Mother of Shitamachi, in her youth, had at least the level of a second-grade exorcist. With her strength back then, she had not thought of going to that shrine to avenge her teacher for so many years.
In fact, after hearing her inquire about the matter of Sankoku Shrine, her face had become quite nervous as she asked if she or her friends had done anything at that shrine. From this reaction, one could know that the situation of that shrine was definitely not simple.
Grade 1?
Or Special Grade?
In any case, Shinomiya Kaguya decisively ignored this commission.
Although her physique was much stronger now, it was only in comparison to ordinary people.
Even with Hamon at full power, in the hidden world, she was at most at a fourth-grade level.
"Although after the diary's permissions have been upgraded to level 3, relying on commissions should be able to speed up the acquisition of Reading Value quite a bit, but it's still too far from being able to truly stand at the pinnacle of the hidden world."
The upper limits of the two supernatural powers, spiritual power and cursed energy, were almost all determined innately.
One could see a person's potential at the time of their first awakening.
A person without aptitude, even if they awakened by luck, would ultimately not be able to go too far on this path.
A person with aptitude, even if they had only awakened for a month or two, could possibly ascend to the heavens in one step and become a first-grade or even special-grade supernatural being.
Just like a certain guy who had caused quite a stir in the hidden world at the end of last year.
This year, he seemed to be only 17 or 18 years old.
Relying on a special-grade cursed spirit, after being discovered by the Jujutsu world, he had been directly promoted to a special-grade Jujutsu Sorcerer without much effort.
Later, for some reason, he had lost his cursed spirit in an attack by a curse user and had reverted to the lowest-level fourth-grade Jujutsu Sorcerer.
But just after the New Year this year, he had once again become a special-grade Jujutsu Sorcerer with his own ability.
Anyway, the hidden world on Tokyo's side was in an uproar because of this news, to the extent that even an old fellow who had half-retired from the circle like Takeda Sae had heard a lot about him from her old friends.
She could only sigh that in the world of supernatural beings, the efforts of a family for decades or even hundreds of years might not be comparable to a single talented genius.
Although the current Shinomiya Kaguya, relying on Hamon and the Godly Mother of Shitamachi's teaching, had already begun to feel a faint spiritual power.
But because she felt that her own talent did not seem to be very good, she had not yet taken that step to officially awaken.
A second or third-grade exorcist was definitely not what she wanted.
Therefore, Shinomiya Kaguya wanted to wait until she was more fully prepared before making an attempt.
"I should first share this information in the group, to see what kind of commissions everyone can get, and how many Reading Points their commissions can get."
Thinking this, Shinomiya Kaguya sent the matter of the diary upgrade to the group and asked about everyone's commission situation.
Because everyone had obtained the diary at the same point in time.
Except for the exception of Yotsuya Miko, at most it was just that because they had obtained the diary a little later, so it took a day's time before they saw the content in the diary.
When Shinomiya Kaguya asked in the chat group, many of the girls had already unlocked the level 3 permissions and were studying them.
Actually, besides Shinomiya Kaguya's side, which had gotten an ultra-high difficulty commission, the commissions triggered by the other girls, perhaps because they didn't have much contact with the hidden world, were mostly quite normal.
Yukinoshita Yukino saw that among the commissions she had unlocked, one was to establish the Service Club in advance and make it the most famous club in Sobu High.
The other was to join the student council, become the student council president in her first year, and use her own philosophy to influence more students.
Looking at these two commissions, she couldn't help but fall silent.
Doma Umaru, on the other hand, saw that her commission mission was actually to have her finish all the housework at home every day and prepare a meal to wait for her brother to come back and enjoy.
At this moment, she was also thinking with a conflicted expression whether she should give up her current slacker life for this commission, which would only grant an extra point of Reading Value for every three days she persisted.
As for Bocchi, she was trembling even more.
There were actually several commissions around her, but all of them were the kind that would cause her complete social death.
Live streaming with her Guitar Hero account, requiring her to show her face and chat with the audience;
Forming a band with herself as the core;
And another one that was also to form a band, but with more requirements and also more rewards.
"You now have 15 dollars. Please select and form your own girl band (5 members) according to the prices on the character list below. The team is required to have the ability to compose, arrange, write lyrics, and sing lead vocals, and be able to hold a normal performance."
Looking at that large pile of 2D avatars she didn't recognize at all, although she was very happy to see her own avatar placed in the 5-dollar column, to have to investigate the real identities of these characters one by one, and then also have to take the initiative to invite them to join her band.
Just thinking of this, Bocchi felt that she was about to burn out.
These commissions were simply not tasks that a human could complete!
And Goko Ruri also posted her own commission information in the group.
Kuroneko: "The commission that popped up around me is to serve Martial Uncle Jerry well. There shouldn't be any special requirements, just to be able to satisfy it as before."
"However, after seeing the mysterious person's diary yesterday, Martial Uncle Jerry is already planning to go back. This commission of mine should be gone by the time he goes back."
To this, Goko Ruri even showed some reluctance in the group.
It wasn't just because of the commission.
After all, with a god of wealth like Jerry staying in her house, the life of the Goko family had been getting better at a visible rate these past few days.
She had also been working overtime these past few days to make her Kuroneko VTuber model and had started to do game live streams online under Jerry's guidance.
She really hadn't expected that Jerry would also be very good at live streaming.
In just a few days, it had sorted out a sharp-tongued persona for her that fit her own personality and was also liked by the audience, and had even recommended many games with good entertainment value to her.
In addition, with Jerry's wealth-attracting attribute, in just two or three days, she had already earned her family's previous monthly income.
So she was even more reluctant for Jerry to return to the mysterious person's side.
However, she also knew that Jerry was sent over by the mysterious person in the first place.
Even if the mysterious person didn't let it go back, it had already been frequently visiting the other girls' houses in Chiba recently.
Not just Yukinoshita Yukino.
There were also those girls who did not have a diary.
Just like that number one female protagonist from the same work as her.
That is, the Kōsaka Kirino who was evaluated by the mysterious person as someone he could no longer look at with a normal perspective because a "certain uncle" had been using her character avatar.
Jerry had visited her house for a day, and it seemed to have caused quite a stir. It was estimated that it had directly exposed that girl's hobby of playing little-sister-themed games.
But in the end, it was probably that top-tier sis-con who had taken the fall for everything.
Goko Ruri thought to herself.
According to the mysterious person, her situation was somewhat similar to that of Shinomiya Kaguya and Hoshino Ai.
That Great Aka-sensei on their side always liked to pull some rotten tricks in the later stages of the plot.
And the author on her side was a pure, die-hard sis-con.
Even though he was utterly disliked by his real-life sister, he had still continuously written two popular little-sister-themed works.
The first one, which was the work she was in, had an open ending in the end because she was a real sister. The second one, having learned its lesson, had used the persona of an adopted sister, and in the end, the brother and sister had gotten married.
In any case, after knowing that her original self had actually had the intention of sharing her older brother with that Kōsaka Kirino in the story, Kuroneko had also been too lazy to play dead in the chat group for a day or two, lest she be locked onto by her defeated opponent, Hinami Aoi, the moment she popped up.
But no matter what, the her of this world already had more friends in the chat group and had also truly come into contact with supernatural powers.
As long as Kōsaka Kirino's side did not obtain a diary, it was obviously impossible for her future to have any connection with that pair of siblings again.
There should be no more connection.
After all, at present, it seemed that only one person in a work would get a diary.
Goko Ruri thought to herself. After explaining her situation in the group, she went to live stream again.
After all, these were the last few days that Jerry, this "god of wealth" and "manager," was by her side. She had to take advantage of these last few days to properly consolidate her popularity again.
...
While the girls in the chat group were studying the new functions unlocked after their diaries were upgraded to level 3.
As the time passed midnight, by the bedsides of many of the girls who had already entered their dreamland, diaries appeared one after another without a sound.
However, the first to discover the change was not someone else.
It was Miyauchi Hikage, who was still staying up late to edit his video.
He had just received today's reward.
Another set of manga that had been wholesaled from somewhere.
And it was a set of manga with a particularly strange-looking name.
"Dandadan?"
"What kind of broken name is this?" After a retort, Miyauchi Hikage casually opened it for a look, and immediately remembered.
So it's this manga.
He really had some impression of it before he transmigrated.
At that time, it was just when Chainsaw Man was at its most popular. Because this manga artist had served as an assistant to Tatsuki Fujimoto, he had read the first chapter of this manga online when it came out.
One could only say that the imagination was indeed quite wild.
Urban myths, aliens fighting ghosts.
However, Miyauchi Hikage hadn't paid much attention to the content that followed.
And as he was looking at the manga, he suddenly realized a problem.
At present, the works he had drawn were basically all existing works in this world, such as Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer, Oreimo, Passerby Heroine, and so on.
Now to suddenly draw out such a manga, was it hinting to him that the story of this manga also existed in this world?
This world was already messy enough with Jujutsu Sorcerers and various exorcists. Don't tell me aliens are really going to pop out now?
Then I'd better hurry up and call Ultraman over to hold the fort.
Otherwise, this Earth is really too dangerous.
Thinking of this, Miyauchi Hikage couldn't help but wipe his forehead. He immediately took out his diary to have a late-night complaint session.
Anyway, it was already past midnight and considered the next day. This diary wouldn't be written for nothing.
And then he saw that a dark gray line had suddenly appeared on the cover of his pure black diary.
"Hmm?"
What's wrong with this diary? Did it suddenly change its packaging?
Miyauchi Hikage reached out and touched the gray line on it.
In the next moment, the entire diary turned gray before his eyes, leaving only a single black line.
And a "②" mark had also appeared on the top of the diary.
Miyauchi Hikage opened the diary and found that everything he had written before had disappeared.
He looked at the once again blank diary, thought for a moment, and then tried to change it back to its original appearance through the black line.
This time, the content in the diary had changed back to the familiar things.
"This is... it's starting to distribute diaries again, and it's even given me a new server?"
Miyauchi Hikage looked at the diary, which could now be switched between colors at will, and couldn't help but make such a deduction.
Because too many things had happened this month, or perhaps because living in a place like Beika Town made it easy for one to have a misconception of time.
It wasn't until this moment that he realized that it had indeed been a month since he had obtained the diary.
"So what's the point of this? To prevent the second batch of girls who get the diary from seeing the previous entries?" Miyauchi Hikage analyzed in his heart.
Judging from the color, perhaps the second batch of girls who got the diary would receive this kind of gray one.
He didn't know what the difference in function was between it and the first batch of black diaries.
But the troll god behind the diary had deliberately made this move. There must be a difference between these two types of diaries.
"Could it be that it's going to start a battle royale route, letting the diary holders of different factions start to kill each other?"
"Isn't this development a bit too Future Diary?"
However, Miyauchi Hikage quickly shook his head, feeling that that troll god should also be an old 2D world enthusiast and wouldn't do such an operation.
Miyauchi Hikage tested it a little but got no response and couldn't figure out the difference between the two.
But now, he could indeed, after finishing one diary entry, choose whether to sync the content to the number two diary.
"But if I write two diary entries every day, can I get two rewards?"
Thinking of this, Miyauchi Hikage became a little interested.
At that moment, he began to write in his own diary.
[Found a new change in the diary. It should be starting to distribute new diaries again.
But the new diary seems to be a little different in color from the old one. At present, I don't know what the meaning is.
Anyway, today I'll first test writing a little something different in the different diaries to see if I can get two rewards.]
