Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.
The System had directly handed the authority to issue tasks to him, the Host?!
In his past life, he had read many web novels featuring a diary system.
But he had never seen a diary system Host who could actually take the initiative to issue tasks to the diary instance owners.
This felt very novel to him.
However, he still had a doubt in his mind and asked the System, "System, are there any specific restrictions on this authority to issue tasks?"
"Or rather, how many tasks can I issue to them?"
Facing Lin Yuan's question, the System quickly provided a response.
[Ding! The Host currently gains a fixed opportunity to issue a task once every month.]
[The number of task issuances can be stacked. If the Host does not use it in the current month, it will automatically accumulate to the next month.]
"Does the Host wish to use the authority now to issue the first exclusive task?"
Lin Yuan didn't answer immediately. Instead, he sat on the bed and thought about it carefully.
He began to take stock of the diary instance owners he had already successfully bound.
They were Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, Ah Yin, Liu Erlong, Ye Lingling, Tang Yuehua, and others.
These bound individuals had all provided him with various Binding rewards the moment the Binding was successful.
Xiao Wu provided the life-saving Teleportation skill.
Ning Rongrong provided the spirit ring fusion talent.
Ah Yin provided the Blue Silver Emperor Healing ability.
Liu Erlong provided the Explosive Dragon Flame.
As for Dugu Yan, she provided a Physique immune to all poisons.
This was obtained because Dugu Yan had previously consumed a Medicinal Pill formed from the Fusion of the blazing apricot delicate plant and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
However, he now possessed the Nine Yang Divine Skill, and the extremely Yang and rigid poison immunity effect it brought was certainly higher-level and more overbearing than Dugu Yan's immunity.
Although the Nine Yang Divine Skill couldn't compare to the Chaos Godslaying Record—the latter was definitely more overbearing—
—the Nine Yang Divine Skill served more of an auxiliary role for Lin Yuan.
For example, increasing Comprehension Ability, increasing his own Yang Qi, gaining poison immunity, and so on.
And the Nine Heart Begonia Healing ability provided by Ye Lingling perfectly fused with Ah Yin's Healing, doubling the effect.
Aside from these women who were already bound,
the ones currently known to possess a diary instance but not yet bound by him were only the Zhu sisters and Qian Renxue.
Lin Yuan sighed inwardly; the System's Binding uses only refreshed once a month.
He had already used this month's Binding slot on Tang Yuehua, so he currently had no more Binding uses.
He could only wait for next month's refresh to consider Binding Qian Renxue or the Zhu sisters.
Among those already bound, if he had to choose the first target to issue a task to,
Lin Yuan almost unhesitatingly chose Tang Yuehua!
As for what kind of generous rewards they would receive after completing the task, Lin Yuan was quite indifferent; that was secondary.
This was because the specific reward content was determined by the System based on the situation.
Before distribution, the System would also inform him, the Host, of the specific reward details.
What Lin Yuan was responsible for now was merely issuing the task.
The core content of the task was the top priority!
Among all the bound women, only Tang Yuehua and Liu Erlong were not yet completely on his side.
However, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan where Liu Erlong belonged had always stayed in its own territory and had no direct friction or contact with Lin Yuan.
As for that trash Yu Xiaogang, Lin Yuan didn't care about him at all.
If he wanted Liu Erlong or Bibi Dong to personally deal with Yu Xiaogang, he could wait for a suitable opportunity in the future to slowly issue a task.
But the issue of Tang Yuehua's faction alignment had to be settled right now, immediately.
After all, compared to Liu Erlong, Tang Yuehua's situation was completely different.
Liu Erlong was at least a powerful Spirit Master herself, and her talent wasn't bad.
And regarding the benefits obtained from the diary system, Tang Yuehua's were definitely far greater than Liu Erlong's!
Tang Yuehua had not only received a guaranteed increase in spirit power but also the Origin Divine Stone to reshape her Spirit.
At this moment, Tang Yuehua hadn't even clearly stated her stance to him, yet she had already received so many Heaven-Defying rewards from the System.
Furthermore, as time went on, the System would surely issue various guaranteed or random rewards to her to continuously enhance her strength.
If Tang Yuehua still had Tang Hao or the Clear Sky Sect in her heart and wasn't his person,
and the System was so good to her, sending her so many Heaven-Defying opportunities,
and even he himself, for the sake of acting, needed to give her a Semi-Immortal Herb that could enhance her talent,
then how would his behavior be any different from a simp?
A simp? Simping was impossible! It was impossible for him to be a simp in this lifetime!
Even if he really took a fancy to Tang Yuehua's charming, mature, and seductive body, he would absolutely never be a simp.
A simp's fate is to end up with nothing.
Although most simps in Douluo succeeded in their pursuits,
the process wouldn't be pleasant.
He didn't want that.
And in his heart, he had actually been hiding a rather dark thought.
For young girls like Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, who had high talent and were around the same age as him,
he could slowly nurture feelings from a young age and take time to fall in love.
Through the exposure of the diary and real-life contact, he could subtly train their minds and make them utterly devoted to him.
But!
For someone like Tang Yuehua, who was older and more experienced,
her values and personality had long been completely set. Trying to use pure-hearted methods to fall in love was clearly very inappropriate.
The best way to deal with such a mature and stubborn woman was actually to use methods of coercion and pressure!
The so-called carrot and stick.
Lin Yuan gave a cold sneer.
After all, since you, Tang Yuehua, have already obtained so many massive, Heaven-Defying benefits from my System,
then as the master of all this, it's not too much for me to ask for some corresponding return, right?
Using "force" might sound a bit unpleasant if word got out.
But in common terms, it would be similar to the status of a "Bedchamber maid" in a wealthy household.
As everyone knows, the purpose of a Bedchamber maid's existence is to unconditionally serve the master's daily life and body.
And it is absolute obedience, with no room for bargaining.
