Douluo Dragon King: My Strategy System Is a Bit Off

Chapter 2 Your Lunch Box...A Similar Him

The aloof figure gradually walked out of the cafeteria.

"It can't be that bad."

Lin Ci muttered to himself, feeling helpless.

But that didn't stop him from continuing to eat.

The proud silver dragon was unwilling to have much physical contact with anyone other than Tang Wulin, not even sitting close to him like this.

He just hadn't expected that his 40% favorability rating would be completely useless. The other party couldn't even accept that.

Tang Wulin also lost his appetite. He sighed softly and then said, "I'll go take a look."

Soon, only Lin Ci and Xie Xie remained at the large table.

"Go ahead and talk to the dance teacher, I don't care."

Lin Ci did not stop foraging for food after answering Xie Xie's question.

Seeing the boy who couldn't even lift his head while eating, Xie Xie felt a little ashamed.

I never expected that Class 5 would be so full of hidden talents; their appetites seem to be no less than Tang Wulin's.

"You eat first, then I'll go talk to Teacher Wu."

A whole table of delicious food was devoured by Lin Ci.

After eating meal C for so long, he finally got to eat meal A, and to be honest, there really was a difference.

After finishing his meal, Lin Ci leaned back comfortably in his chair and patted his round belly. This sumptuous meal allowed him to temporarily forget the troubles of conquering Gu Yue and the hundred million he had just lost.

After resting for a while, he got up and left the cafeteria, heading towards his dormitory.

I need to go back and cultivate for a while. Although there are missions to complete, cultivation is still the most important thing. If my strength is too weak, I won't even be able to go to Shrek Academy, let alone continue to pursue Gu Yue and increase my favorability. I won't even have the chance to interact with her.

The next competition is still a long way off. In the meantime, besides training, I can also go out and try to earn some money. Right now, I'm really short of money and can't even afford to eat.

The dormitory rooms are for four people, but Lin Ci's room is empty; he lives there alone. His roommates all live not far from Donghai College and are usually not in the dormitory.

Because of his poor performance in the recent promotion tournament, his roommates and many other people in the class had some opinions about him, so they simply stopped living in the dormitory altogether.

Living in a place where four people live, that's called enjoying life.

He'd definitely be more comfortable and have more convenience on his own. Not having to deal with these useless interpersonal relationships and hearing less gossip is a good thing.

Go to bed, close your eyes, meditate, and cultivate.

All in one go.

As he felt the soul power slowly enter his body and begin to circulate internally, his slightly agitated heart finally calmed down.

He had experienced the feeling of powerful soul energy before, and each new mission required a new body to start over. Therefore, it was inevitable that his mindset would fluctuate somewhat when he started cultivating again.

His current main spirit is a beam of light, at least for now. Its only advantage is that it possesses some divine characteristics.

But not many.

This martial spirit was one of the rewards the system gave him, a consolation prize for winning over Qian Renxue.

However, as a single ray of light as a martial soul, its first soul skill has almost no combat power; it can only clear some negative status effects for allies.

This is also why Lin Ci is often criticized by the class. Among the four people competing, he has the highest soul power, but he is also the most useless.

In the actual battle on the field, the only thing that can affect the opponent is...

I used holy light to dazzle my opponent's eyes.

The first few matches went well; he practically swept through everything, thanks to the excellent performance of Gu Yue and the other two, and he barely had to exert himself. However, he became vulnerable when facing the slightly stronger Class Two.

The disadvantage of three against four, with fewer people against one.

Lin Ci's words have zero effect, which is equivalent to fighting one less person. It's that simple.

He didn't want to embarrass himself, but Wu Changkong insisted that he participate in the competition. After all, his level 19 soul power was undeniable, and before the competition, the other classmates couldn't really say anything to him.

After cultivating for a long time, Lin Ci slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

He'll probably break through to level 20 in soul power soon and become a Great Soul Master. There's nothing to be proud of, but the slight sense of accomplishment makes him feel quite relaxed.

It was already dark, and the dormitory was dimly lit. Lin Ci raised her hand and turned on the bedside lamp, and the soft light instantly illuminated the entire room.

A rumbling sound suddenly came from her stomach, and Lin Ci realized that several hours had passed since lunch.

"Looks like I need to get something to eat," he muttered to himself, getting up, putting on his coat, and preparing to head to the cafeteria again.

As he stepped out of the dormitory building, the cool night breeze hit him, making him shiver.

But before I had taken more than a few steps, I saw a familiar figure standing under a tree in front of the dormitory.

Lin Ci looked up and saw that it was Gu Yue.

She stood alone under the tree, her expression aloof, bathed in moonlight, as if waiting for someone.

Gu Yue seemed to sense something and slowly raised her head, facing Lin Ci, who had just come out of the dormitory building and was shivering from the cold.

There was silence between them for a moment.

Lin Ci paused briefly, then flashed her signature smile and stepped forward. "Gu Yue, what are you doing in the boys' dormitory so late at night?"

Gu Yue remained silent.

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

The atmosphere was a little awkward. Afraid of further losing favor, Lin Ci was about to speak when she noticed what Gu Yue was holding.

It was a white lunchbox.

Lin Ci immediately realized what was going on and said with a smile, "You're here to bring food to Tang Wulin? Do you need me to help you take it upstairs?"

Their presence here so late at night can only mean one thing: they're here to deliver food to Tang Wulin.

Love-filled boxed meals.

He guessed it was pretty much the same, after all, Tang Wulin was known for his huge appetite. It was normal for Gu Yue to cater to his tastes.

In the beginning, this guy deliberately approached Tang Wulin in order to win the bet.

However, to Lin Ci's surprise, Gu Yue still did not reply.

"Is she worried that I'll sneak food and not give it to Tang Wulin?" Lin Ci thought to herself.

He couldn't help but sigh, seriously doubting the validity of the system's fifty points of favorability; it was far too inflated.

It feels like there's no difference between having nothing and not having anything at all.

A sudden rumbling stomach broke the awkward atmosphere between the two.

Lin Ci blushed slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Before he could even say something to save face, something suddenly appeared in his hand.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed that white lunchbox.

"You eat."

When Lin Ci looked up again, the black-haired, black-eyed girl had already turned and left, gradually disappearing into the moonlight.

He was a little confused and stood there stunned for a while.

Lin Ci's eyes lit up, and she suddenly realized.

Tang Wulin is usually not in the dormitory during this short holiday, so Gu Yue probably only found out when she got to the dormitory building. Then she was probably about to leave, but happened to bump into him coming down.

So the other person probably thought that throwing it away was no different from feeding it to a dog, and gave him the meal.

The more Lin Ci thought about it, the more sense it made. Based on his understanding of silver arowanas, that was very likely the case.

Then he won't feel guilty, won't worry about losing favorability, and can eat with peace of mind.

The lunchbox that Gu Yue prepared for Tang Wulin must have been made with the finest ingredients, and it must have tasted incredibly delicious. He was naturally extremely happy that he wouldn't have to eat the same old Class C meals in the cafeteria.

Lin Ci laughed from the bottom of her heart, then quickly walked into the dormitory building with her lunchbox in her arms.

Only after he had completely entered the dormitory building did that gaze withdraw from the dark corner not far away.

Gu Yue was slightly stunned, and pondered for a long time.

She seemed to have thought of something and murmured, "Just as foolish as him, you... seem..."
