Douluo Dragon King: My Strategy System Is a Bit Off

Chapter 18 The Woman Who Asked About Fish

Standing in front of the instrument, Lin Ci was listless, thinking about how to just get through the test.

"Go all out!"

Wu Changkong had already seen that Lin Ci wasn't going to take it seriously, and coldly reminded him from the side.

Helpless, Lin Ci could only calm herself down and focus her mind.

He roughly squeezed his fingers to accurately control the force, and the next moment he slammed his fist hard onto the instrument.

"Left fist, 1666!"

"Right fist, 1666!"

It's fake...it must be fake...

This data is much higher than Tang Wulin's. Isn't he a light element soul master?

They all stared wide-eyed, and the momentary silence expressed the strongest cry from his heart.

Wang Jinxi felt a chill run down his spine. He now realized how foolish his decision to engage Lin Ci in close combat had been. This guy not only knew ancient martial arts, but his physical strength was also incredibly formidable.

No wonder even Tang Wulin couldn't defeat Lin Ci in today's combat training when they went head-to-head. Judging from the current data, without the addition of soul power, his physical strength is definitely the strongest among them.

"Aren't you going to fight properly?" Wu Changkong glanced at him and said calmly.

Lin Ci shrugged. "I really took this game seriously."

Wu Changkong didn't continue speaking, but a faint, almost imperceptible smile appeared on his lips.

If Lin Ci were truly fighting seriously, it's impossible for both of his fists to exert the same force. This demonstrates that he was absolutely controlling his power, and controlling it with great precision.

The reason Wu Changkong placed Lin Ci last was because he guessed that Lin Ci's physical strength was definitely formidable. This idea had formed in his mind during their previous close combat and during Lin Ci's simulated battles with others these past few days.

A light elemental martial soul couldn't possibly grant Lin Ci such powerful physical strength. Therefore, there was only one possibility. This confirmed his suspicions.

That is... Twin Martial Souls!

…………

"Ci-ge, what's going on between Wu Lin and Wang Jinxi? I ​​feel like they've been hanging out together the whole time these past few days. Teacher Wu even moved them to the same dorm room."

Beside Lin Ci, Xie Xie looked at the two people who had gone to find Wu Changkong together not far away with a gossipy expression.

Ever since Lin Ci repeatedly beat Xie Xie to a pulp during simulated training these past few days, he's started calling him "Brother Ci." Then, during yesterday's test, Lin Ci once again displayed astonishing mental strength and absolute power.

This truly impressed Xie Xie; his voice now sounded absolutely sincere.

Lin Ci shook her head. She didn't blame Xie Xie for saying that. She had indeed seen Wang Jinxi and Tang Wulin coming and going together frequently these past two days, even eating together.

But he could probably guess that it was because Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King bloodline and Wang Jinxi's Bone Dragon King martial soul had produced some kind of chemical reaction.

The powerful force of the Golden Dragon King bloodline was like a magnet with a fatal attraction for Wang Jinxi, who possessed the Bone Dragon King martial soul. Although the Bone Dragon King martial soul was strong, Wang Jinxi would naturally not let go of the opportunity to further unleash his potential by leveraging the power of the Golden Dragon King bloodline.

Thinking of this, Lin Ci couldn't help but glance at Gu Yue, who was leaning against the side.

I just don't know if the other party has sensed Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King bloodline yet.

Gu Yue raised her head and glanced at Lin Ci, but the girl had been keeping a cold face ever since she was retaliated against last time.

Even so, the favorability rating didn't drop.

This put Lin Ci at ease. He was no longer focused on increasing favorability; as long as things remained stable, that was enough.

Hanging out with Gu Yue and Tang Wulin for a bit won't hurt their favorability. Then I can just happily go home with the money.

After class, Lin Ci decided to continue earning some money; he hadn't sold grilled fish for a few days.

Today went smoothly; I didn't run into that pretentious "senior" again.

"Junior, may I have one?"

The voice was soft, but it sounded somewhat familiar.

When Lin Ci looked up, she saw a smiling girl in front of her, who was none other than Ouyang Zixin, whom she had met a few days ago.

Actually, it wasn't the first time he had met her. Ouyang Zixin had been a frequent customer when he sold grilled fish before.

Lin Ci wasn't very familiar with him, he just had some impression of her, but after she helped Xu Xiaoyu out of a predicament last time, he didn't have a good impression of her.

Lin Ci now has only one opinion about her: she has no taste.

"Just pay me."

It's not that he would directly prevent the other party from eating; he's not that petty. After all, it wasn't Ouyang Zixin who provoked him.

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

Ouyang Zixin seemed oblivious to Lin Ci's cold attitude, maintaining her gentle smile as she took out enough money from her wallet and handed it to Lin Ci, "Give me one, the usual, with extra sauce."

He took the money, quickly cooked the food, and handed it to the other person.

Ouyang Zixin picked up the grilled fish, her expression hesitant, but she finally spoke up: "Um, junior, I hope you don't mind what happened with senior last time. Senior has always had a very good personality; there might have been some misunderstanding between you two. I hope..."

Lin Ci glanced at her and said coldly, "What, are you here to plead for him?"

After Lin Ci and the others were selected for Class Zero, in order to protect them and allow them to focus on their cultivation, Donghai Academy conducted a thorough investigation into what had happened to them within the academy.

The verbal altercation between Lin Ci and Xu Xiaoyu occurred at the school gate, and many people witnessed it. After all, Xu Xiaoyu is quite well-known at Donghai College.

The academy then issued a warning to Xu Xiaoyu. After all, Donghai Academy is considered the top academy in Donghai, so even if Xu Xiaoyu is a young master from a wealthy family, she can only swallow her anger.

Ouyang Zixin clearly knew about the incident, having bought grilled fish from Lin Ci several times before. She also recognized Lin Ci and decided to act as a peacemaker.

Firstly, she was curious about Lin Ci's identity, wondering what would attract such attention from the academy. Secondly, it could help Xu Xiaoyu resolve this matter. It was a win-win situation for her.

Unfortunately, Lin Ci ignored her.

She wanted to say something more, but the boy who had finished grilling the fish had already packed up and left with his cart, not giving her a chance to speak again.

Ouyang Zixin stood there for a while before she seemed to realize what was happening, and then let out a heavy sigh.

She had just turned around with the grilled fish, ready to leave, when a woman blocked her way.

Ouyang Zixin was already considered a rare beauty, but when she saw the person in front of her, even she was amazed.

Her beauty was like jade, and she was stunningly beautiful.

Only these two words could describe the woman in front of her.

With long red hair cascading down her back, she looked no more than thirty years old, appearing very young.

"May I ask where your grilled fish comes from?"
