Douluo Dragon King: My Strategy System Is a Bit Off

Chapter 39 Similar or Similar

The deal was eventually finalized.

Both parties were very satisfied.

Although Lin Ci had completely gained the upper hand, he couldn't think about that much at the moment.

It can only be said that even if it's just a nominal position, if Lin Ci really does reach the pinnacle of the continent in the future, then Leng Yaozhu, as his teacher, will also benefit greatly.

This is also why Lin Ci felt that the other party had proposed this idea.

However, after he left, a certain aloof woman laughed happily like a child for a long time.

As he smiled, a faint sadness welled up in his eyes, and a bitter taste appeared on his lips.

Leng Yaozhu stared blankly, muttering to herself, "Same old trick of taking advantage, does she really think I wouldn't recognize her?"

Even though many things seem impossible, Leng Yaozhu, who has been living in this world for so many years since he left, has long been able to accept anything.

When longing reaches its peak, even if it's the only possibility out of a million impossibilities, she's willing to pursue it and believe in it.

.........

Class Zero was unusually quiet today; the classroom, which was usually empty for six people, now only had four.

Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi have decided to transfer schools.

The failure of the Martial Soul Fusion Technique was due to the fact that these Heavenly King Golden Seals frequently trained with Tang Wulin and were influenced by his bloodline. After negotiations among all parties, they ultimately decided to transfer schools and leave Class Zero.

Lin Ci and Gu Yue seemed the most normal, unaffected. Xie Xie was merely somewhat wistful. Tang Wulin was the most deeply affected, having been depressed for quite some time now.

"The exam will be held tomorrow." Wu Changkong walked into the classroom, said nothing to comfort him, and then turned and left the room.

Lin Ci stood up, preparing to leave the classroom, hesitated for a moment, then went over and patted Tang Wulin on the shoulder.

His hand lingered on Tang Wulin's shoulder for a moment, the boy's thin bones digging into his palm. The shadows of the trees outside the window slanted across Tang Wulin's lowered neck, imprinting those fragmented light spots onto his clenched knuckles.

"Have you heard of the tides?" Lin Ci's voice was soft, as if afraid to disturb the dust frozen in the sunlight. "On the full moon of each month, the tide of the great river carries countless stars into the bay. But on the new moon, those seashells washed ashore by the tide always face the complete moonlight alone."

"You see, the ocean never apologizes for the receding tide."

Tang Wulin stared blankly, seemingly savoring those words. But by the time he came to his senses, the boy who had comforted him had already left the classroom.

Walking along the college path, Lin Ci felt a little emotional, especially when looking at the bright sun in the sky, she felt it was even more outrageous.

"How did that scoundrel manage to have two such good kids?"

In the bright sunlight, Lin Ci seemed to recall a certain proud and aloof girl through the gaps in the sunlight.

He saw the shadow of the girl he once knew in the face of the stubborn boy.

But alas, he, who pursued her so deliberately, did not deserve the love she deserved. The budding, hazy feelings they shared at first sight could not withstand the pull of fate.

Looking back now, all they can do is lament their predetermined failure. They were all mortals, unable to defy the manipulation of the gods, nor could they escape the curse of fate.

……

Lin Ci doesn't plan to cultivate this afternoon because he has an exam tomorrow. He felt very full after absorbing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's soul bone today, and he figured cultivating in this state wouldn't be very effective, so he decided to skip the pointless effort.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's soul bone wasn't attached to his body; instead, he absorbed it as energy and injected it into his body. Its main function was to enhance his overall physical strength and power.

As for why he didn't absorb the effects and apply them to his body, it's because his body is completely covered by a soul bone.

It's currently considered a hidden bone, and hasn't truly and completely merged with the body. Therefore, its power isn't yet apparent.

There's no rush. We can wait until his soul power level increases before fusing. The fusing process will probably be easier then.

Of course, the most important thing is that if he merges now, it will inevitably draw more of his fortune to him. At that time, he will inevitably attract the attention of certain people. With his current strength, being noticed too early is definitely not a good thing.

"Knock knock knock!"

A series of knocks on the door interrupted the boy, who was thinking about what to eat outside as a reward for himself.

"You're here." Lin Ci opened the door and was greeted by a cold-looking girl with her arms crossed.

Lin Ci asked, "Gu Yue, what's wrong?"

Gu Yue glanced at him, then said, "I have something I want to talk to you about. How about we go have dinner together?"

"I think I've eaten this before..." Lin Ci said hesitantly.

"It's my treat."

"Okay, let's go."

Gu Yue's lips twitched slightly. She was somewhat helpless at Lin Ci's sudden change in attitude, but she didn't say anything and turned to leave. Lin Ci quickly followed, and the two walked side by side towards the exit of the academy.

They eat for free inside the college; if they were really treating someone, they wouldn't do it inside the college.

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

Lin Ci could roughly guess why the other party was looking for him; it was because he knew that Leng Yaozhu had also taken him as a disciple.

So I guess they want to talk about this topic.

This was exactly what Lin Ci wanted, although he no longer deliberately tried to increase favorability. After all, the more he tried, the more favorability he would likely lose.

He was still self-aware enough to know that he couldn't compare to the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King.

Even as classmates, as long as we experience and interact more, and don't cross any boundaries, there's bound to be some goodwill towards them. It probably won't drop too much. That's enough.

We found a barbecue restaurant not far from the college.

The two went inside, and just as Lin Ci was about to sit down, Gu Yue grabbed her arm.

Lin Ci looked at her in confusion, but the latter pointed to another table not far away.

It wasn't for any other reason than the four people sitting at the table. Among them was Tang Wulin, who had been feeling down all morning.

The people around him were also familiar faces.

Ouyang Zixin, Xu Xiaoyu whose Ascension Platform was blown up by Lin Ci, and her terrified younger sister.

"What a coincidence, we're all acquaintances." Lin Ci chuckled lightly, not taking it to heart.

"You know them all?" Gu Yue frowned slightly.

Lin Ci didn't think much of it and explained, "Besides Tang Wulin, we've met those two from the Spirit Ascension Platform. As for the prettier girl, her name is Ouyang Zixin."

Gu Yue nodded expressionlessly, then sat down and ordered food as usual.

However, the girl's fingers were clenched rather tightly.

Lin Ci sensed Gu Yue's sudden change in attitude and glanced at a table not far away.

He instantly understood, but without asking any questions, he simply took the menu and continued ordering. However, after glancing back at that spot, he only felt the surroundings grow even colder.

"Boss, turn the air conditioning down a bit!"
