My Ability Pool is Superior - Chapter 321: Thick Festival Atmosphere

Lu Bai slowly opened his eyes.

Once again, he safely returned to the familiar Desheng Tower room.

Everything in front of him still exuded luxury; the sofa, made of rare materials, was soft and ergonomic, making him feel like his whole body was wrapped inside it.

Lu Bai conveniently pressed the button notifying him of the deathmatch’s end, which would allow the Internal Affairs Department to record it as soon as possible.

He then stopped paying attention and focused all his attention on the system interface in front of his retinas.

【Deathmatch Arena Number: 84****1970】

【Username: Clever Malphite】

【Worn Main Title: Pure Smile (Four Stars)】 (Click to view wearable titles)

【Worn Secondary Titles: Frenzied Slaughter (Four Stars), Ultimate Murderer (Four Stars)】

【Talent: 125.6+11.6 (1 point can be converted to 0.1 talent, currently converting, estimated time: seven days)】

【Abilities: ?, Flash Time, Ink Black, Spirit Time House (Click to select)】

【Evaluation: A lucky one favored by the heavens, able to quickly master anything learned, a true genius.】

After roughly scanning the general situation, he used his mind to open the ability selection.

【Maoshan Daoism (Color)】, 【Spirit Bomb (Color)】, 【Restore (Black)】

There was nothing to say about this; any hesitation for even a second would be disrespectful to a Black Level Ability.

He chose to keep 【Restore】, adding another “?” to the abilities section of his personal interface. Nothing else special happened.

What remained were the two titles rewarded after this round of deathmatch duel.

【Kindhearted Guardian (One Star): Words spoken by the wearer are more likely to gain trust from kindred.】 (Top Ten rank reward, generated based on conduct style in the deathmatch duel, wearable)

【Reclusive Poet (Three Stars): Increases literary flair to a certain extent when worn.】 (First place reward, randomly drawn from the Three Stars and below title pool, wearable)

It was a bit regrettable that Lu Bai hadn’t achieved any hidden achievements in this round of deathmatch duel, unlike the previous rounds where he obtained hidden title rewards.

But it wasn’t a big problem either.

To be honest, after acquiring two Black Level abilities like 【Restore】 and 【Load Game】, unless he could obtain another Black Level ability, other rewards were at best adding flowers to brocade.

He ignored the two titles and directly tossed them into the title section, to be dealt with later once he gathered enough “materials” for title upgrades.

After sorting out the gains from this round of deathmatch duel, Lu Bai stood up, opened the room door, and walked along the corridor toward the outside of Desheng Tower.

……

“I say, Principal Pu, are you always this idle?”

Lu Bai hadn’t even left the campus when he was intercepted by Pu Xueli who rushed over hurriedly.

Looking at Principal Pu who was blowing his beard and glaring in anxiety, Lu Bai helplessly spread his hands.

“You think I want to? What did you tell me? You said to settle down first, so why are you rushing into another deathmatch duel so quickly?”

Pu Xueli was also troubled, completely at a loss for how to persuade him: “Yes, you did safely end this deathmatch again, but don’t you know that those who drown are the ones who can swim?

Those who stand by the riverside all the time, how can they not get their shoes wet? You think you can be this lucky every time?”

Zu Dian Campus had finally produced an outstanding student like Lu Bai, and as the principal of Zu Dian Campus, Pu Xueli truly didn’t want to see such an excellent student fall so quickly.

Lu Bai didn’t refute, just patiently listened with an innocent smile on his face.

With this appearance of humbly listening but firmly refusing to change, Pu Xueli couldn’t vent his frustration even if he wanted to.

After a futile persuasion, he sighed deeply and then said: “Forget it, do as you like. Remember to bring your younger brother and sister to my house for dinner tonight; you won’t refuse this, right?”

Lu Bai thought for a moment: “Mm, then we’ll impose on you.”

Hearing the clear response, Principal Pu finally showed a smile.

“That’s more like it.”

……

In Yiju City, a remote bar.

Due to it being daytime, there were no customers in the bar, and even the lights weren’t turned on much.

Only the bartending light over there served as a faint light source.

A man wearing a flashy suit and a gentleman hat sat in the booth, lightly tapping the table.

“Everyone, it’s time to move out. With so many colleagues like us spending so much time to set up this grand play, don’t let it slip at our end.”

Ding Zhongmin was still dressed like a director.

He sat beside the flashy man, enthusiastically chiming in: “President Zheng, you’re underestimating the accumulation of our branch over these many years.”

President Zheng gave him a sidelong glance, his posture seeming arrogant, but his words didn’t come across as contemptuous.

“Director Ding, of course I believe in the abilities of everyone at the branch. But since this is of great importance, no oversights are allowed. My attitude toward the branch is the same.”

“Of course, then let’s begin the arrangements.”

Ding Zhongmin grabbed a fisherman hat from the table and put it on, standing up to add: “Rest assured, we will definitely make this New Birth Festival the most memorable one in everyone’s memory.”

……

After all, time was still early, so Lu Bai didn’t rush home.

From the road decorations along the way and the shops on both sides, he could clearly feel the festive atmosphere.

It could only be said that in this oppressive society severely lacking healthy entertainment activities, people’s spiritual needs would find outlets to vent on their own.

The noisy hawking and laughter were more frequent than usual.

The rare sight of adults bringing children out shopping was everywhere along Lu Bai’s way.

Paired with the bright sunlight from the holographic sky screen overhead, for a moment, it even gave him a déjà vu feeling of returning to before he transmigrated.

No matter how slowly he walked, the distance was only so much.

Lu Bai still arrived home without taking too long.

Just in time, the siblings Lu Ziyi and Lu Qingyan were also at home at that moment.

They didn’t know that Lu Bai had just completed a round of deathmatch duel and thought he was resting early today because of the New Birth Festival.

Since it was all in the past anyway, Lu Bai naturally wouldn’t mention it to worry them and instead talked about having them come with him to Principal Pu’s house for dinner tonight.

Perhaps not yet accustomed to the social status elevation brought by Lu Bai, Lu Ziyi kept fussing over what to wear in the evening.

In her eyes, the principal of the deathmatch campus was undoubtedly a great figure.

On the contrary, Lu Qingyan, being younger, had no such concept at all and pestered Lu Bai with chatter, asking questions nonstop.

“Big bro, is your principal’s house big?”

“Can the sofa seat more than ten people?”

“How much power does the principal have?”

Lu Bai was annoyed by the questions, so he simply tossed his mobile phone to him to distract the energetic little kid.
