Douluo Dragon King: My strategy system is not right

Chapter 53 Gu Yue's Delicious Food Box

Lin Ci was still a little confused until he took over the Absolute Ice Crystal.

How is this going?

Seeing the woman turn around and leave, Lin Ci hurriedly asked, "Who are you?"

"The master of the branch of the Spirit Transmission Tower in Tiandou City." The woman said with a smile.

After he finished speaking, he left without saying anything else.

Tang Wulin was still confused, but Wu Zhangkong seemed to be thinking about something, as if he understood something.

"Leng Yaozhu..." Lin Ci understood instantly, but how did she know that I was auctioning this thing here?

After a moment's thought, he remembered that the card had been verified. Leng Yaozhu must have received the news during the verification.

If that was the case, then everything would be clear. Leng Yaozhu, as a high-ranking member of the Spirit Pagoda, must have a very high say in the Tiandou City Spirit Pagoda branch. If the Tiandou City branch master was also present, he would have quickly learned what happened to him.

No wonder someone suddenly appeared from behind and bid so decisively. If that was the case, then it made things clear.

Lin Ci felt quite complicated. He didn't expect Leng Yaozhu to pay so much attention to him.

It seemed his face had played a significant role. He had no difficulty guessing that the other party would give him special treatment because of his almost identical features. He just didn't expect it to be to this extent.

But what he couldn't understand was, if he was treated like this just because of his similar face, then why did his strategy fail...

In the evening, return to the hotel.

Lin Ci couldn't wait to start studying this absolute ice crystal.

The item at the auction was covered in a layer of transparent glass. This wasn't ordinary glass; it was a special soul guide device designed to isolate the extreme temperatures inside. The icy aura inside was extremely low, and if one's soul power was too low, they would likely get frostbite.

Even so, Lin Ci did not take any action. He just slowly stretched out his hand and pressed it on the absolute ice crystal.

The extreme cold quickly spread to Lin Ci's arm, instantly turning his skin pale. However, Lin Ci still didn't let go, gritting his teeth and enduring the biting chill. He also mobilized his soul power to counter the cold force.

As his soul power slowly poured in, the light on the surface of the Absolute Ice Crystal flickered, as if resonating with his soul power. Lin Ci closed his eyes tightly, his mind highly concentrated, and his consciousness gradually immersed in a world of ice and cold.

In this icy world, Lin Ci seemed to see a series of blurry images. It was a vast expanse of ice, with howling winds and blizzards.

And right in the center of the ice field, there was a blurry figure, but before Lin Ci could see it clearly, his consciousness returned.

"My soul power is too weak," Lin Ci sighed. Just as the auctioneer had said, there was a source of soul power within it. However, the gap between his current soul power and this source of soul power was too great, and he couldn't truly establish a connection with it.

But there's no need to rush. Now that I have this thing, I can figure it out later when my soul power improves.

Originally, after their trip to Tiandou City, he and Wu Zhangkong were going to Xingluo City, but before they left, Wu Zhangkong suddenly informed him that they had to postpone their trip and go back to prepare for school.

Lin Ci could only express his bewilderment. He had no idea what he was going to do, and now he was about to find out, but he couldn't go.

I don't understand. But Wu Zhangkong obviously wouldn't do anything without a purpose, so I can only wait and see.

……

The new semester started, and Donghai College, which had been quiet for a month, became lively again.

Students are entering the college in an endless stream, and everything seems to be thriving. This is the second half of the semester, after this semester. It is necessary to upgrade the grade. At the same time, for every student, the pressure of upgrading exams also arises.

For the Intermediate Soul Master Academy, the junior department must break through the second ring when graduating from the sixth grade, otherwise the graduation certificate will not be issued. The senior department needs to break through the third ring to officially graduate.

Regardless of which one, not all students can complete it. The higher the grade, the more time becomes tighter. However, first- and second-year students undoubtedly have it relatively easy. They haven't faced any pressure yet.

As for Class Zero, that was even less of a concern. After all, their status in the academy was extremely high. Lin Ci wasn't bothered by these things, but by having to get up early in the morning.

He arrived at the gate of Donghai College early in the morning and waited.

Last night, Gu Yue suddenly called him via soul communication, asking him to pick her up tomorrow. It wasn't a big deal. Even if it wasn't to maintain goodwill, as a classmate, it wouldn't matter if he picked her up.

I was waiting, but I didn't see the girl yet. Instead, two familiar figures, one fat and one thin, came towards me.

"Brother Ci, long time no see!"

Zhou Changxi and Yun Xiao walked quickly towards Lin Ci, their faces beaming with smiles. Zhou Changxi was still his chubby self, his eyes narrowing into slits when he smiled, making him look particularly honest; Yun Xiao was still thin, but his eyes were full of shrewdness.

Lin Ci was not surprised. Standing at the door in public, the people from Class 5 would naturally recognize him.
The two of them didn't have much else to talk about, mostly gossip. Everyone in the academy was curious about the new Class Zero. They weren't surprised that it was receiving so much attention and resources.

Furthermore, they often pretended to be good friends with Lin Ci and the others from Class Zero, bragging to other students from other classes. This was especially true of Zhou Changxi, as Yun Xiao was more shrewd and less exaggerated.

Zhou Changxi suddenly thought of something and asked, "Brother Ci, I heard that Gu Yue..."

But before he could ask the gossip, Lin Ci felt a chill on his neck. He turned around and looked at Gu Yue, who was wearing a school uniform and standing ten steps away.

During the one-month winter vacation, the girl seemed to have grown a little taller. Although her face was not particularly beautiful, she had a unique temperament that made people feel admiration for her.

Maybe it's not admiration, but fear. It just depends on the person.

For example, now, Gu Yue stood there quietly with a calm expression, but when her eyes swept over Zhou Changxi, Zhou Changxi shuddered inexplicably, and the words that were on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back in an instant.

"Well, I remember I didn't take the textbooks..." Zhou Changxi immediately pulled Yun Xiao and ran away. He didn't do anything, but he was inexplicably scared.

Lin Ci couldn't help but laugh as he watched Zhou Changxi and Yun Xiao fleeing. He turned to look at Gu Yue and said jokingly, "Your look must have scared them quite a bit."

Gu Yue glanced at Lin Ci lightly, his expression still calm: "Who told him to pry?"

Lin Ci raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion, "By the way, why did you ask me to wait for you?"

"This is for you." Gu Yue took out a lunch box from the small bag she was holding and handed it to Lin Ci.

Lin Ci was puzzled: "What does this mean?"

"Gifts." Gu Yue paused, then added, "You all have some, as back-to-school gifts."

Lin Ci was surprised and said, "Your gift is quite special, giving food."

Gu Yue had no expression on his face. "Eat or not?"

"Who said I don't eat?" Lin Ci opened it immediately.

As soon as I opened it, I was amazed by the delicious aroma inside.

"What kind of meat is this? Why does it smell so good?"

　The last big plot hole is actually to introduce all the female guides except those from the Dragon King era. Now all five from Dousha 1 to Dousha 2 have been introduced. Then I'll start filling in the gaps soon. Actually, I was originally going to write about Xingluo City, which would have filled in some of Qian Renxue's holes. But some of the plans weren't well thought out, so I'm pushing it back and finishing the main story first.

　　Furthermore, each heroine in the guide has a complete emotional life, and each story they share with the protagonist is unique. You should be able to see this from what I've written here. We're not going to bring everyone directly into Dragon King Legend, for example, resurrecting them in various ways—that's impossible. However, each person plays a significant role in the storyline, and while some regrets are just regrets, some will reappear in new ways during the Dragon King Legend era, rather than simply being resurrected. Stay tuned.
