Douluo Dragon King: My Strategy System Is a Bit Off

Chapter 11 God showered you with wisdom, yet sheltered you with an umbrella.

Ouyang Zixin was slightly taken aback. She looked at Lin Ci with some confusion, and then at Xu Xiaoyu beside her.

She asked cautiously, "Senior, has something happened?"

Xu Xiaoyu's face was extremely ugly; he really hadn't expected Lin Ci to show him no respect whatsoever.

At this moment, he seemed to notice the school uniform under Lin Ci's work apron. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he forced a stiff smile: "Junior, don't joke around. I'm also a student at Donghai Academy. You should have heard of Xu Xiaoyu from the senior department."

"Oh, it seems..." Lin Ci opened her mouth wide, as if she was very surprised.

Xu Xiaoyu's expression softened; once the other party heard of his name, they would never fail to give him face.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little smug. He had just shown off in front of Ouyang Zixin.

"Never heard of it."

Lin Ci had long since suppressed her surprise and calmly finished speaking the second half of her sentence.

His words shattered Xu Xiaoyu's newly recovered composure.

Xu Xiaoyu was a prominent figure at Donghai Academy, renowned in both the intermediate and advanced levels. The Xu family was a prominent clan in Donghai City, so the eldest son naturally held a high status, not to mention his exceptional talent among ordinary people.

However, Lin Ci, who was in the intermediate department, showed him no respect whatsoever after hearing his name.

"You..." Xu Xiaoyu's face was extremely gloomy. He wanted to lash out, but he had no reasonable reason to do so.

After all, if he were to bully a junior from the intermediate level in this public place, it would not be good for his reputation if word got out.

"You should know the Xu family, right? I'm the eldest son of the Xu family. Now, junior, you should know who I am."

Lin Ci paused in her packing, looked up at him with pity, and said, "I really don't know why God, who has spread wisdom throughout the world, has held an umbrella just for you."

Xu Xiaoyu paused for a moment, then realized that this was a direct insult calling him stupid.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, and said with a forced smile, "Junior, you're quite humorous, but some jokes can go too far."

Lin Ci's playful expression vanished, her voice turning cold: "If you're not joking, then let me ask you, who do you think you are? Do I need to know about you?"

Xu Xiaoyu had been arrogant since childhood, and the sense of superiority brought about by his status and strength almost caused this string that he had been enduring for a long time to break instantly.

Fortunately, Ouyang Zixin wasn't stupid. Hearing this, she naturally realized that something unpleasant must have happened before she arrived. To prevent things from escalating further, she quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Senior, if they're out of grilled fish, let's go somewhere else to eat. I know a place that's really good."

Xu Xiaoyu had finally found a way out, but his expression remained grim. He gave Lin Ci a deep look and then said, "Alright, let's go."

Ignoring her sister's attitude, she grabbed her hand and left with Ouyang Zixin.

"What bad luck." Lin Ci had originally planned to pack up her stall, go home, buy some food, and then have a nice night's sleep, taking a break from her work.

The fact that the simulation system hadn't fully recovered during this period was really tough for him, and he spent almost every day cultivating. Today, he's taking a break from his busy schedule to relax and get some sleep; he doesn't plan to cultivate anymore.

However, the good mood brought about by such a wonderful plan was ruined.

One bad apple spoils the whole bunch.

The girl next to Xu Xiaoyu just now must be Xu Xiaoyan. I just didn't expect to run into these two siblings so soon.

I didn't think much of it, and it wasn't worth it for his girlfriend. I'll just go back and eat the last few grilled fish myself first.

Before anything could be done, the stall, which had been empty, quickly filled with people again.

However, these people's faces were all very familiar.

"Brother Lin, we're here to support you!"

The speaker was a chubby boy who looked exceptionally excited. It was Zhou Changxi from Class 5, Grade 1, and the group behind him were all classmates from Class 5, Grade 1. Except for Gu Yue and her two companions who were also resting, almost everyone else was present.

Lin Ci was selling grilled fish at the entrance. How could no one in Class 5 of Grade 1 have seen him? Because of the competition, he was unpopular in the class, so naturally no one patronized his business. But the end of this promotion competition has impressed everyone, especially Zhou Changxi, who now calls him "Brother Lin" so affectionately.

Lin Ci was preparing to close up shop, but seeing this, she figured she might as well make some extra money to eat at home.

He'd readily take on any challenge that came his way. But if people came to support him, then he'd certainly make money from it.

"Come on, come on, we have it all, don't rush. Anyone can eat my grilled fish..."

Lin Ci didn't have much time to rest; the next day, she received a message from Wu Changkong telling her to go back to school.

Holidays are wonderful, but school days are really hard to get through.

Lin Ci never imagined that as a strategist, he would have to attend classes frequently in this other world. It's no exaggeration to say that he has been a student most of the time.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Over the past tens of thousands of years, although Soul Masters have made some progress, they have ultimately remained true to their roots, primarily driven by technological advancements. Therefore, he didn't need to specifically study cultivation techniques, as he already had a thorough understanding of them.

The only thing he needs to pay attention to is his secondary profession. Battle armor and mechs have evolved over the past few decades, and they may differ somewhat from what he learned back then.

Lin Ci overcame her difficulty getting up early in the morning and arrived at the classroom just in time for the class bell to ring.

"Hello, Brother Lin."

As soon as you enter, you see Zhou Changxi's chubby face full of smiles, and then the other classmates quickly follow suit.

"Brother Lin, sit down quickly, the dance teacher is coming."

It must be said that strength is a truly valuable thing, especially in this world where soul power cultivation is the primary method. The veneration of the strong and geniuses is deeply ingrained in the hearts of these soul masters.

And right now, the word "strong" is most fitting for Lin Ci in the hearts of Class 5, Grade 1.

Gu Yue is indeed very strong, with control over multiple elements; Xie Xie is also quite good, possessing twin martial souls and the Light and Shadow Twin Dragon Daggers, making him a genius; and Tang Wulin's innate divine strength is not to be underestimated.

However, these pale in comparison to Lin Ci's heroic feat of single-handedly breaking the Martial Soul Fusion Technique and turning the tide in the final battle.

The most direct impression of a person is never about how amazing their talent is or what level they will reach in the future. It's about seeing it with your own eyes and witnessing it firsthand.

And coincidentally, they witnessed Lin Ci's scene.

Therefore, their changes and reactions are naturally considered normal.

Lin Ci answered with a smile, though she was still a little uncomfortable. She was used to being a solitary strategist, and being fawned over like this made her feel somewhat awkward.

But thinking about it another way, it seems that he used to do the same thing when he was doing strategy missions, constantly praising other people.

Even if it wasn't from the bottom of my heart, I'm still happy to receive a reward.

Therefore, Lin Ci remained calm and composed at this moment, ignoring everyone and instead exchanging a few words with each of them with a smile.

We have to beat that Xu Xiaoyu up. This is just the prelude; we'll beat him up several times in a row later.

Agreed to use Seven Wolves: one ticket

Agreed to use firecrackers: two tickets

Haha! (Just kidding~) OVoid
