Douluo Dragon King: My Strategy System Is a Bit Off

Chapter 1 Failed Strategy

On the shore of the East China Sea.

This is Donghai Academy, a comprehensive Soul Master academy encompassing intermediate and advanced levels. It is also the undisputed number one academy in Donghai City.

On campus, lush green grass and blooming flowers created a stark contrast to the training grounds that emanated fluctuations of soul power. At this moment, on the academy's playground, a group of boys and girls in matching school uniforms stood in neat rows.

They were gathered around a small arena, intently watching the exciting battle unfold.

At that moment, the competition had just ended, and the contestants who had also been competing in school uniforms in the stands came off the stage one by one.

Class 5 won the competition and has now surpassed Class 2. If they can win the next match against Class 1, they will become the biggest winner in this promotion tournament.

Despite winning the competition, the students in Class 5 were not as happy as they had imagined.

"I really don't understand why the dance teacher wanted him to go up and compete."

"Having level 19 soul power is useless; it will only hold you back."

"That's right, if it weren't for Gu Yue, we would have lost."

The target of their criticism and dissatisfaction was naturally not Gu Yue, who could switch between several elements at will and turn the tide; nor Tang Wulin, who was born with divine strength and broke through formations with force, displaying a performance far exceeding his own soul power level; and certainly not Xie Xie, who possessed the Golden Shadow Dragon Dagger, a twin martial soul.

It was the boy who lagged behind when he came down with the three of them.

The young man sighed softly, his brows furrowed, and his eyes were full of sorrow.

The aloof, blue-haired god in white gently patted his shoulder. Although he didn't say anything, the encouragement in his eyes was obvious.

"Looks like this strategy is going to fail again..."

However, Lin Ci's sorrow was clearly different from what Wu Changkong had imagined.

He had no interest in discussing the promotion tournament with them, nor did he care at all what these classmates thought of him.

In his eyes, they were just little kids. Dealing with those countless millennia-old silver dragonfish every day was already exhausting enough for him. Why would he care about these little brats?

He was just worried that this strategy would also fail.

Perhaps there's no need to worry, or at least not.

After all these attempts, he had never succeeded. He had tried to seduce the protagonist from Douluo Continent I to Douluo Continent III, but still hadn't succeeded.

Actually, it's not entirely his fault. Twenty thousand years ago, Qian Renxue was so stubborn that if you weren't a genius, she simply wouldn't look at you, no matter how good you were to her. Moreover, the identity assigned to her by the system was essentially an enemy to Qian Renxue.

Even now, after changing several divine bodies, he still seems to be able to feel the coldness on that sword that should have been filled with light and warmth.

Not to mention Wang Dong'er, who is ten thousand years old. Tang San has arranged everything, even the fate lines have been drawn. How is he supposed to win her over?

And Wang Qiu'er...

It was all for nothing.

Finally, the system sent him to the Dragon King era, but he still failed to conquer the Dragon King in a row.

As a result, he was practically abandoned by the system.

The system left only the final strategy quests and strategy panel before departing.

The final task is to defeat the Silver Dragon King, which Lin Ci considers the most difficult task.

Because of his previous two failed attempts, after arriving at the Dragon King era, the system granted him the right to choose his conquest target.

He naturally didn't choose Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena the first time; if she didn't have the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, she would never have been able to compete with Tang Wulin.

Unfortunately, he failed at all the missions he chose to pursue, which led to him being abandoned by the system and having to complete the final mission.

If there's no other choice, then the Silver Dragon King is the only option.

Fortunately, the system gave him some consolation rewards before leaving, including Gu Yue's initial favorability.

The initial favorability rating is 50.

The reason he lamented another failed attempt was because his favorability rating had plummeted again, now standing at only forty percent.

In other words, he had only been at Donghai Academy for a short time when he met Gu Yue, and his favorability rating had already dropped by 10%.

It was utterly tragic and miserable...

How tragic.

Fortunately, he didn't really intend to win her over, because the system gave him an escape route because of his hard work in previous missions.

Regardless of whether he succeeds in conquering the world or not, he will be allowed to return to Earth, and the conquest points will be distributed as a reward.

One strategy point is worth 100 million RMB, which means if he successfully returns now, he will receive 4 billion RMB.

Therefore, he only needs to maintain or increase the favorability rating as much as possible, and then wait for the Dragon King era storyline to basically end.

Lying down is obviously impossible. If he doesn't appear in front of Gu Yue, the fifty points of favorability won't be triggered, and prolonged contact will cause them to drop.

Therefore, Lin Ci is really serious about winning over Gu Yue.

The reason is nothing more than money.

However, losing 100 million in just one match still pains him.

"I'd like a C-grade meal."

I can only console myself with a free Class C meal. Although it's Class C, it tastes pretty good. It's just that the ingredients are relatively ordinary and not very useful to a Soul Master.

Despite his potential to become a billionaire, he is currently so poor here that he can't even afford to eat.

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

"Lin Ci, come eat here, it's on me."

Before anyone knew it, three figures had already sat down at a table not far from Lin Ci.

The person who greeted him and offered to treat him was a handsome blond boy, Xie Xie.

Sitting next to him was a boy with long black hair and black eyes. But he was much more handsome than Xie Xie; it was Tang Wulin.

Sitting directly opposite Tang Wulin was a young girl, also with black hair and black eyes, but not particularly beautiful, at most described as pretty. Her figure was above average for her age, very well-proportioned. Her large eyes were bright and piercing.

Without a doubt, she is Gu Yue, the one Lin Ci is trying to win over.

Lin Ci glanced at the ordinary free meal C in her hand, then looked at the sumptuous meal A that had been prepared in advance on the other people's table.

If you're still hesitating, then you're really being disrespectful to the food.

Almost instantly, Lin Ci had already appeared in front of the table.

Because it was a four-person table, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie sat together, while Gu Yue sat opposite the former.

Therefore, Lin Ci's position could only be next to Gu Yue.

As soon as he sat down, the girl next to him frowned slightly.

However, it seemed that the 40 points of favorability had some effect, as she did not make any other reaction.

Lin Ci wasn't going to stand on ceremony; he could eat as much as he wanted since someone was treating him. However, the meal clearly didn't go as smoothly as he had imagined.

Xie Xie coughed twice, seemingly considering his words, and slowly said, "Um, Lin Ci, can we discuss something?"

Lin Ci looked up slightly at the other person, still chewing her food, but gestured for the other person to continue.

Xie Xie seemed a little embarrassed, but still decided to say, "Why don't you skip the last match against Class One? The three of us should be enough."

The main problem was that Lin Ci's performance today was truly terrible; his level 19 soul power combat ability was pitifully low. He was practically useless throughout the match and almost caused them to lose.

Class One is undoubtedly the strongest class, with each student being even more skilled than those in Class Two. The number of students from lower-ranked classes challenging higher-ranked classes can be determined by the number of challenges they can take. Of course, the number cannot exceed seven, and cannot be less than three.

Once Class 5 decides on the number of players, Class 1 will send out the corresponding number of players.

If Lin Ci continues to play, then Class One will definitely field four players, making it a three-on-four situation for them, which is an extreme disadvantage.

That's why Xie Xie planned to persuade Lin Ci not to continue participating in the final promotion match.

Whether three or four people win, the result is the same. For the honor of Class 5, they had no other choice.

Before Lin Ci could speak, the girl next to her suddenly stood up.

"I'm not eating."
