Douluo Dragon King: My Strategy System Is a Bit Off

Chapter 3 Simulation

Go back to dorms.

Lin Ci eagerly opened the lunchbox, and an enticing aroma instantly filled the air. Inside, several dishes were exquisitely arranged, with a perfect balance of meat and vegetables; each dish was like a work of art.

I must say, Gu Yue really put a lot of effort into this, with so many delicious dishes, and the ingredients are even better than today's Class A meal.

They finished eating quickly.

After tidying up, Lin Ci quickly turned off the light and sat back down on the bed.

Continue sitting cross-legged and meditating.

After about five or six hours, the cultivation was completed.

Lin Ci breathed a sigh of relief, slowly closed her eyes, and soon her consciousness began to drift into a daze.

It wasn't sleep; after a brief moment of drowsiness, consciousness returned, but this time she found herself in a peculiar room.

This is a small apartment with one bedroom and one living room.

The house isn't big, but it's full of life and looks like a cozy little home in an old neighborhood.

In fact, this place is indeed a "home".

Lin Ci's home in her previous life.

His body was no longer that of a nine-year-old boy, but had transformed into that of a mature man. It was exactly what he looked like in his previous life.

He stood there stunned at the door for a long time before his mind finally came to a complete turn. With a smile on his face, he walked into the house.

"I'm back."

Lin Ci spoke softly, her voice echoing in the quiet space, as if traveling through time and returning to those warm years.

Stepping into the living room, the familiar furnishings came into view. The slightly worn sofa still had a few cushions that he had personally selected on it, and the scene of the family sitting around watching TV and chatting here seemed to be right before his eyes.

On the coffee table sat a framed photo of him and his parents, all three of them smiling brightly—his most precious memory.

Lin Ci gently picked up the photo frame and lightly stroked her parents' faces in the photo with her fingers.

After a long while, he put down the photo frame and then walked towards the kitchen.

Unlike the quiet living room, the kitchen was filled with the distinct sound of cooking even before you stepped inside.

Upon entering the kitchen, I finally saw the figure inside.

It was a slender figure with a tall and graceful build. Her waist-length silver hair was tied into a high ponytail and hung down her back. She was dressed in white with an apron tied around her waist.

"Wash your hands and get ready to eat."

A cool, clear voice came from behind her. She didn't turn around to look at Lin Ci, but simply spoke with practiced ease.

The next second, Lin Ci hugged the figure from behind.

Lin Ci hugged the woman from behind, rested his head on her shoulder, and greedily inhaled the faint scent emanating from her body.

"Listen to me, let go first, I'm cooking."

The woman smiled helplessly, then slowly turned her head to look at the scoundrel who was hugging her.

At this moment, Lin Ci also looked up and met the fair face in front of her.

The first thing you see are purple pupils, shimmering like water. Her exquisitely beautiful cheeks are flushed with a faint blush, making her look breathtakingly beautiful.

Silver hair and purple eyes, Gu Yuena.

The person before me is Gu Yuena, but she is impersonating the Silver Dragon King.

This is a dream simulation space prepared for him by the system, a space created based on Lin Ci's home from his previous life. Furthermore, the Gu Yuena inside is exactly the same as the real Gu Yuena outside, in terms of personality, figure, and everything else.

However, the one outside is the target of the plot, while the one inside is Lin Ci's wife.

In the other person's memory, she was Lin Ci's wife.

Lin Ci learns about the other person's personality and habits through daily interactions, so that she can better win over the other person.

Lin Ci was quite serious about researching her previous crushes, studying their likes and dislikes and the little details of their lives.

But now, this place has become the only place for Lin Ci to relax.

He tried to seduce her so many times, and although he failed every time, and each time the body he tried was different, his mind underwent real trials and tribulations.

As a result, one's spirit inevitably becomes somewhat lazy.

So at Gu Yuena's place, he transformed the simulation venue into the shape of his home, and he came here every day mainly to enjoy himself.

He released his arms from Gu Yuena and said softly, "Okay, I'll go wash my hands."

After washing his hands, Lin Ci returned to the kitchen, gently wrapped his arms around Gu Yuena from behind, and looked at the stir-fried dishes in the pot, smiling as he said, "Wife, what delicious food are you making today? It smells so good."

Gu Yuena tilted her head slightly, rolled her eyes at him, but couldn't hide the smile in her eyes: "These are all your favorite foods. I knew you had a sweet tooth."

As she spoke, she skillfully plated the stir-fried dishes, which Lin Ci quickly took and placed on the dining table in the living room.

Although it's a simulation, it feels very realistic; you can even taste various flavors when you eat.

Therefore, even if Lin Ci's body is not hungry outside, she can still eat inside.

Gu Yuena watched Lin Ci wolf down his food, her beautiful eyes pausing slightly before she casually asked, "You're eating so heartily, didn't you eat properly outside at noon?"

In this game, Gu Yuena is portrayed as a virtuous wife at home, and as long as Lin Ci is not in the simulation environment, she will subconsciously assume that he has gone out to work.

Each time Lin Ci enters the simulation arena, it's like going home after work.

"I had a boxed lunch for lunch, which wasn't very tasty, so I didn't eat much."

Lin Ci didn't notice anything and answered without hesitation.

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

Gu Yuena was still smiling, but for some reason the smile didn't reach her eyes. "Oh... weren't you going to have dinner with clients? Why are you eating takeout again?"

Lin Ci said helplessly, "Don't even mention it. Today's client was a complete sallow-faced old woman. She must have been kicked in the head by a donkey, and she's blind too. She left before even eating. It's a lost cause."

In Lin Ci's eyes, his client is none other than Gu Yue. This also relates to what happened during lunch today.

Therefore, every time I talk to Gu Yuena about clients, I'm actually describing what happened that day with Gu Yuena as the target.

Of course, there were plenty of embellishments.

"My husband is really unlucky. His client is a haggard-looking woman, and the boxed lunch isn't even tasty."

Her words were gentle, yet for some reason, a chill emanated from them, causing Lin Ci to shiver involuntarily.

"Have you finished eating?"

Lin Ci swallowed the last bite and nodded, seemingly puzzled.

Gu Yuena said coldly, "Go wash the dishes."

"what?"

Lin Ci was somewhat confused as to why his emotions changed so quickly. His attitude instantly turned cold again.

But just as Lin Ci picked up his chopsticks, he slightly raised his head and cautiously glanced at Gu Yuena, "Um, wife, tonight..."

However, I didn't get the answer I was looking for, because in the next instant, everything went black and the familiar scene disappeared completely.

When Lin Ci opened her eyes again, her consciousness returned to her body, and all she could see was her dormitory, which was still dark that night.

Lin Ci complained helplessly, "What kind of crap is this? The internet's down again."

The simulation system used to be very stable, but since the system left, it has become unstable and disconnects frequently.

Especially at the most critical moment, it was disconnected directly.

It's infuriating.

Meanwhile, in a room in Donghai City, the girl on the bed suddenly got up.

"asshole!"

Gu Yue cursed fiercely, but quickly fell silent.

Although she and Na'er shared the same body inside, Na'er mostly controlled it. But that doesn't mean she couldn't.

"Old hag..."

She touched her still delicate face. This body might not be beautiful, but it was definitely young and full of vitality.

How could she be a haggard old woman?

"No taste," Gu Yue muttered, but deep down she felt a little regretful.

After a long while, the room fell silent again, but at some point, a girl's muffled voice came from inside.

"I should have made it look nicer..."
