Douluo Dragon King: My Strategy System Is a Bit Off

Chapter 25 The Indifferent Gu Yuena

"Bear paws are quite delicious."

The moment the words left her lips, the classroom fell silent, and all eyes turned to Lin Ci. Tang Wulin and Xie Xie couldn't help but twitch their lips, Gu Yue frowned slightly, while Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi looked surprised, clearly not expecting Lin Ci to say something like that at this moment.

Wu Changkong's face darkened; he truly couldn't figure out his student.

In terms of actual combat performance, Lin Ci can be said to have performed the best, whether it was soloing the two-headed wolf or later cooperating with Tang Wulin and Xie Xie to take down the Millennium Crystal Bear.

Their performances were all flawless.

But he went and roasted rabbits and even bear paws. Who goes to the Spirit Ascension Platform without rushing to hunt as many soul beasts as possible to achieve their spirit ascension goal? But Lin Ci didn't care about any of that; his ideas were different from everyone else's.

Wu Changkong ultimately didn't say anything to him, only saying calmly, "Send me some barbecue next time."

Lin Ci clearly understood what Wu Changkong meant, and didn't feel embarrassed, but just helplessly shrugged.

It's really not his fault. If the Soft-Boned Rabbit hadn't tempted him, how could he have eaten it? As for the bear paw, he was even angrier. If this guy hadn't stolen his roasted rabbit, he wouldn't have eaten the roasted bear paw.

After Lin Ci finished speaking, Wu Changkong looked at Gu Yue.

"The Ascension Platform is a very realistic world. It feels like I've really entered an ancient forest. I think I like it there, I really like it. In battle, the soul beasts are very realistic, and everything seems no different from the real thing."

After Gu Yue finished speaking, Wu Changkong nodded slightly and then said, "Your performance this time was the best among everyone. You dealt with the two-headed she-wolf in a timely manner, otherwise Lin Ci might have been ambushed."

"ah!?"

Lin Ci looked at the girl next to her, whose expression remained unchanged, somewhat bewildered.

Gu Yue solved the problem of the two-headed she-wolf?

No wonder he didn't see the other two-headed she-wolf after he realized what had happened. It wasn't that he was lucky; Gu Yue had taken care of it.

Then Wu Changkong asked Xie Xie and Tang Wulin questions.

They were both in similar situations, always working together, and when they encountered the Crystal Bear, they fought as a group. Therefore, their statements were quite similar.

After listening to the six people's speeches, Wu Changkong nodded.

"If I were to grade you all for this Spirit Ascension Challenge, Zhang Yangzi would get zero points. Wang Jinxi would get one point. Gu Yue would get five points. Lin Ci would get four points. Xie Xie would get three points. Tang Wulin would get three points."

Zhang Yangzi had a premonition about his low score, as did Wang Jinxi. Gu Yue performed the best and naturally deserved full marks. Tang Wulin and Xie Xie were average, so they got three points. Lin Ci's one point was completely deducted from the bonus.

Wu Changkong concluded, "Therefore, you need to strengthen your understanding and learning about soul beasts. Don't think that just because soul beasts are rare now, this kind of learning is useless. On the contrary, understanding the characteristics of soul beasts will greatly benefit your future cultivation. According to research, 90% of the soul skills possessed by human soul masters were once possessed by soul beasts. The more you understand the abilities of soul beasts, the more you understand your future competitors. At the same time, it will also allow you to survive longer in the Spirit Ascension Platform, a place that produces only top-tier experts."

"You should have already experienced that the longer you persist in the Ascension Platform, the greater the benefits you will receive. Therefore, you still have a long way to go."

After class, Lin Ci waited at the door for a moment, and only when the girl walked to the side did he call out, "Gu Yue."

Gu Yue stopped in her tracks, then slowly raised her eyes to look at Lin Ci, her gaze questioning.

Lin Ci smiled generously and said, "Thanks for today."

The girl didn't say anything, just pursed her lips, nodded slightly, then turned and left.

Lin Ci didn't suspect anything, because the favorability rating in the strategy remained unchanged, which meant that Gu Yue had just helped him deal with the two-headed mother wolf.

But regardless of the purpose, he should still express his gratitude. Even though he didn't currently have much intention of actually winning her over.

The more important thing is to treat it with sincerity, not to pursue Gu Yue with all your heart. It means to genuinely participate in this life together, to integrate yourself into it, as if they were just classmates, without any other ulterior motives. That way, even if it doesn't work out in the end, at least your goodwill won't drop.

Lin Ci stretched and yawned. Today was not just about eating roasted bear paws; he had gained quite a lot.

He has no soul spirit, and his soul rings are acquired automatically, so their spirit ascension has nothing to do with him. However, the energy from the spirit ascension platform is still beneficial to him. When the soul rings do not need energy replenishment, the excess energy will be fed back to him by the soul rings to replenish his soul power.

This means that while others go to the Spirit Ascension Platform to increase the age of their Soul Rings, Lin Ci increased her Soul Power last year.

The lifespan of a spirit ring is virtually unlimited. This is because no one can completely increase the lifespan of their spirit rings to a very high level through the Ascension Platform. Therefore, since they cannot reach the limit, naturally no one can replenish their own lifespan.

Lin Ci achieved this, which is undoubtedly his advantage; the length of his spirit ring's lifespan is irrelevant. After all, Lin Ci's spirit ring's lifespan increases automatically every ten levels. This is even more exaggerated than the Spirit Ascension Platform.

In the evening, Lin Ci returned to her dormitory as usual.

My dorm room is the same as before, no different, except it's a bit bigger and more luxurious.

I turned off the light, took a deep breath, and then my fingers glowed faintly as I gently touched them to my forehead.

A ray of light flashed across her forehead, and Lin Ci finally felt at ease and lay down.

Consciousness fell silent again, and when I woke up again, I was back in that warm home.

As soon as Lin Ci entered the room, she was met with a pair of watery purple eyes.

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

He reached out to hug her, but the woman in front of him didn't give him the chance.

Gu Yuena snorted coldly, ignored him, and walked to the sofa by herself, then sat down.

Lin Ci thought for a moment, then walked over. "Nana, what's wrong? Are you in a bad mood today?"

Gu Yuena did not respond immediately, but turned her head slightly away, her delicate profile taut, as if she was deliberately suppressing some emotion.

As soon as Lin Ci sat down next to her, he could clearly feel that the woman's body suddenly tensed up, as if she was a little nervous.

Lin Ci found it somewhat amusing, so she said, "Sorry, Nana, this business trip took too long. Mainly because that client was difficult to deal with. Fortunately, she had a change of heart and helped me, otherwise I wouldn't be back now."

If Lin Ci doesn't engage in simulation training for an extended period, Gu Yuena in the inner world will automatically assume that he's on a business trip.

Therefore, Lin Ci gave this explanation.

But there's really nothing we can do about it. After the main system left, this strategy simulation system started having frequent problems. He simply couldn't stay in it for long.

However, after hearing his words, Gu Yuena's eyes sharpened. She turned her head and glared coldly at Lin Ci before getting up and walking back to her bedroom.

Lin Ci was left standing there, completely bewildered.

"What happened?"

I was a little confused and was just about to knock on the door when I heard a sound coming from inside.

"Go eat by yourself first."

Happy Lunar New Year's Eve to all the old folks!
