Douluo Dragon King: My strategy system is not right

Chapter 10: Encounter with the Pretender

"Business is very good today, business is booming today~"

Looking at his wallet gradually swelling with the continuous inflow of federal currency, Lin Ci felt extremely happy.

This slightly made up for his bad mood after losing 100 million yuan. The money he earned this time was enough for him to have a good meal during this period.

I've been eating C-meal lately and it's really getting to the point where I can't stand it. It's mainly because I get sick of it when I eat too much.

His grilled fish always sells out, and although he's busy, there are times when he does. For example, most of the people come to the restaurant after school, so there are a lot of people buying, so there are long queues.

He rarely came to sell during this time because he was also a student at East Sea College, so his first priority was to attend classes. Although those classes were of no use to him, Wu Zhangkong would not let him go if he didn't attend.

This was because of the competition, Wu Changkong gave them two days off to have a good rest.

So he took this opportunity to sell grilled fish.

Lin Ci wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a sigh. It was almost time to close the stall.

The crowd had almost all left, and there were only two people left in front of the stall.

"Hello, how many grilled fish would you like?" Lin Ci glanced at the two people in front of him.

It was a classic boy-girl pairing, but they looked like siblings. The boy, about seventeen or eighteen years old, wore a blue school uniform, slightly different from Lin Ci and the others in the intermediate section, clearly belonging to the advanced section.

Next to him was a little girl who looked about the same age as Lin Ci now. She had two small braids and her hair was light blue, making her look delicate and beautiful.

More beautiful than Gu Yue.

Lin Ci added silently in his heart.

At this moment, the girl was looking at the grilled fish curiously. She got closer, moved her nose slightly, and sniffed the smell gently. Her bright eyes widened instantly.

The girl directly pulled the young man's arm and said softly, "Brother, I want to eat this."

The young man did not respond immediately, but just frowned and looked at the vendor in front of him.

There were two signs standing in front of Lin Ci's stall, which served as promotional slogans.

Unique grilled fish.

It tastes better than the one roasted by Huo Yuhao.

Just these two sentences, very simple.

However, upon seeing this, the young man's eyes were filled with disdain. He then turned his head slightly to look at the girl beside him and said, "The food in this stall is not clean. I'm worried. I'll go home and ask the chef to make it for you."

After hearing what the young man said, the girl pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "Brother, I don't want this fish. It smells so good. Besides, the sign says it's better than Huo Yuhao's grilled fish, so I want to try it."

The young man wanted to say something but was interrupted by Lin Ci.

"Sorry, I'm closing the shop now. Goodbye."

Lin Ci immediately packed up the remaining grilled fish and then packed up his cart.

The young man seemed to feel offended, and his face darkened slightly: "What do you mean?"

Lin Ci didn't look at him, but said coldly: "I'm closing my stall and going home. What's it to you?"

Do you really think he has no temper? You said his things were dirty in front of him, and you still feel uneasy. I think it's you who really worries about this little girl having a brother like you.

"Are you feeling guilty about your fraud?" The young man sneered, looking at Lin Ci as if he could see through everything.

Lin Ci had originally planned to ignore the other party and leave, but now he stopped what he was doing and looked up at the young man.

The young man chuckled and said calmly, "Better than Huo Yuhao's? You read a history book and you don't even know your last name? You dare to use such a person as your trademark."

Xu Xiaoyu was actually quite angry. They had already lost to another class in the competition yesterday. Today, she had just finished school and was out playing with her sister. And this happened.

Because Huo Yuhao was famous for his mastery of the ice element, Xu Xiaoyu had always been fond of this Spirit Ice Douluo and naturally knew a lot about his life story.

I am also very familiar with Huo-style grilled fish.

But what he didn't expect was that the young man in front of him actually dared to sell fish with such a sign.

"Have you ever eaten the fish grilled by Huo Yuhao?" Lin Ci did not answer the other party, but asked back.

Xu Xiaoyu snorted coldly, "Of course not. It's been ten thousand years since Lingbing Douluo ascended to heaven. How could I have eaten his grilled fish?"

Lin Ci immediately looked at him as if he was a fool and asked, "Then how do you know that what I bake isn't as delicious as Huo Yuhao's?"

Xu Xiaoyu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly became angry and humiliated. She snapped, "Senior Huo Yuhao is a legendary figure on Douluo Continent, and his Huo-brand grilled fish is renowned far and wide. Even though I haven't tried it, I can imagine its flavor must be unique and incomparable. You, a mere academy student, have the audacity to claim that your grilled fish is better than his. What else could that be but a swindler?"

"So, if you haven't tried it, you can't compare? Then, with all the delicious food in the world, have you tried them all? How dare you judge who's good and who's bad without even trying them? My sign says it's better than Huo Yuhao's, not that I'm better than Huo Yuhao. Why are you making such a fuss?"

Lin Ci didn't give in at all and went all out.

It wasn't like he hadn't eaten Huo Yuhao's grilled fish before. Back then, it was Lin Ci's collaboration with Huo Yuhao's improved recipe that made it such a hit at Shrek Academy. Therefore, it made sense for Lin Ci to say his own recipe was better than Huo Yuhao's, since it was his own improvement, after all.

The girl next to Xu Xiaoyu heard the two arguing, and anxiously pulled Xu Xiaoyu's arm, coquettishly advising: "Brother, stop arguing, I really want to eat this fish."

Xu Xiaoyu looked at her sister's aggrieved expression, and her heart softened. However, she still said to Lin Ci stubbornly, "If you really have the ability, prove it to me. If my sister thinks your fish is good after eating it, then I can accept your signboard."

"Brother, is there something wrong with your brain?" Lin Ci was no longer angry. There was no need to be angry with a fool.

You've already slandered your own grilled fish like this, but I still give you a grilled fish.

What about dreaming?
Xu Xiaoyu's face darkened and she wanted to get angry, but before the words could come out of her mouth, she saw a figure.

"Senior, are you coming to eat grilled fish too?"

I saw another customer coming to the stall. This was also a woman, but she was a little older than the girl next to Xu Xiaoyu.

About fourteen or fifteen years old.

The girl was very beautiful, with delicate features and big watery eyes. Under the rising sun, her whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of golden glow.

Xu Xiaoyu had no choice but to swallow her words, coughed lightly, and seemed to become a little more aloof.

He said calmly, "School girl, are you coming to eat too?"

This is completely different from the attitude towards Lin Ci just now.

"You're such a pretentious guy." Lin Ci was powerless to complain. He could meet such a person in Donghai College. The world is really big and full of strange things.

Ouyang Zixin smiled and said, "Yes, this grilled fish shop is delicious, but it's not open all the time. It only sells once or twice occasionally. I happened to see it today and planned to buy some, and then I ran into you, senior."

Hearing Ouyang Zixin praising this grilled fish restaurant so much, Xu Xiaoyu felt a little embarrassed.

But the girl next to her rolled her eyes and said hurriedly: "Brother, look, this sister said it's delicious, it must be delicious, let's buy it quickly."

Ouyang Zixin then noticed the girl and said with a smile, "This is your sister. She's so beautiful. Sister, the grilled fish here is really delicious. I'm here to treat you."

When Xu Xiaoyu heard this, she quickly said, "No, no, it's not right for a girl to treat you. Junior, I'll buy it for her."

After that, he looked at Lin Ci and said unnaturally, "Boss, give me three grilled fish."

Lin Ci spread his hands and pretended to be helpless, "I'm so sorry, today's grilled fish is not clean and can't be sold."

　Any reward?
