My Ability Pool is Superior - Chapter 322: Protest Rally

The passage of time never shifts due to anyone’s will.

The sunlight released by the top-layer Holographic Sky Screen weakened, indicating that time had already reached the afternoon.

Lu Bai rose from the newly bought sofa and clapped his hands toward the siblings.

“It’s time to set off.”

“Wait a moment…”

A somewhat embarrassed voice came from the bedroom: “Wait for me a few more minutes.”

Hearing this, Lu Qingyan held his mobile phone and curled his lips, sighing in an old-mannered way: “See, women are just troublesome.”

He didn’t deliberately lower his voice, and naturally received a warning full of shame and anger.

“Lu Qingyan, shut up!”

Lu Bai didn’t join in the siblings’ bickering, quietly waiting.

Another ten minutes or so passed before Lu Ziyi opened the bedroom house door and walked out from inside.

It wasn’t particularly stunning; after all, given their previous family conditions, Lu Ziyi hadn’t learned makeup or anything like that.

She just changed into a refreshing white T-shirt and jeans, the cotton upper garment soft enough to fully bring out the youthful vitality appropriate for this age.

Lu Bai nodded: “This is pretty good, let’s go.”

……

Pu Xueli’s home was naturally not in a place like Yiju City, but in the Central Area of the Shelter.

After all, in the entire shelter, there were only a few principals of the Deathmatch Campus, and their administrative rank and social status were incomparable to ordinary people.

From the situation Lu Bai understood, the land area of Pu Xueli’s home was fully enough to build another Yiju Building, easily housing over a thousand people.

“Big bro, can we live in a house like this too?”

After entering the Central Area of the Shelter, looking at the luxuriously decorated standalone villas on both sides, even with exclusive greening.

Even a child like Lu Qingyan with little sense of hierarchy clearly felt the gap, his emotions not as lively as when in Yiju City.

“Then you work hard.”

Lu Bai responded casually while walking.

Lu Qingyan’s gaze brightened: “As long as I work hard to make money, I can live in a house like this?”

“No, as long as you’re hardworking enough, you’ll be too tired to think about these things.”

“…”

The cruel reality made Lu Qingyan visibly down in emotions.

Seeing this, Lu Bai felt that speaking so bluntly was indeed a bit too cruel for a child.

He pondered for a moment, then spoke again: “Actually, no need to think so much. You should know that often those unassuming shops on the street can make real delicacies, while those grand, brightly lit and wine-lit big restaurants…”

Lu Qingyan thought Lu Bai was going to lecture some reason, uninterestedly pulling a long face: “Those are expensive and tasteless, all IQ tax, right?”

Lu Bai paused, then completed the last words: “…I’ve never eaten there.”

Lu Qingyan: “…”

The little kid fell silent again, always feeling like his big bro was playing with fools.

“Why are there so many people, what are they doing?”

Lu Ziyi looked at the Clock Tower Plaza in front of the Administrative Building, her face showing doubt.

Although she rarely came to the shelter’s Central Area, she knew that there wouldn’t normally be ordinary civilians coming to the Administrative Building area for leisure.

However, now.

The Clock Tower Plaza paved with tiles was full of people everywhere.

People gathered in groups of three or five, conversing with each other, and a considerable portion were directly sitting cross-legged on the ground, facing the nearby Administrative Building.

Among the crowd, there were quite a few people wearing low-quality red vests, moving through them, their faces beaming with excited expressions that faintly approached fanaticism.

Lu Bai’s attention was also drawn by this massive crowd, but [Load Game] had no reaction, meaning there were no official Death Fighters with abilities among these people, yet it was clearly an organized and premeditated action.

He listened carefully for a while, vaguely hearing words like “Change the World” and “live like humans” from the crowd.

Lu Bai thoughtfully rubbed his chin.

Something the Can Society cooked up?

Having lived in this world for so long, he naturally knew the current social system had many problems, and it was completely understandable for people to be dissatisfied.

The problem was, these ragtag groups were basically competing in who was worse.

The Can Society wasn’t even as good as the shelter’s City Association.

At least the City Association’s councilors wouldn’t think about selling out humanity for a good price.

In fact, with so many civilians gathered around the Administrative Building, the officials couldn’t possibly not have noticed.

Looking closely, there were quite a few reporters carrying cameras in the crowd, asking around for the reasons and demands of this large-scale rally.

The hundreds sitting quietly facing the Administrative Building were clearly more fanatic.

They didn’t even make moves to communicate, just sitting quietly on the plaza, expressing their dissatisfaction with the ruling group through action.

While Lu Bai was observing these crowds, Pu Xueli, who should have been waiting at home, was also drawn over by the situation here.

Principal Pu spotted the three Lu Bai on the roadside by chance and came over to greet them.

Lu Bai understood the courtesy of normal social interaction and formally introduced his younger brother and sister, whom Pu Xueli had met before, to this principal.

Pu Xueli didn’t put on any airs, his attitude very amiable, even asking Lu Qingyan if he had any plans to become a Death Fighter.

After this polite chit-chat, he turned sideways and suddenly asked Lu Bai: “What do you think of this kind of rally?”

Lu Bai raised an eyebrow: “You don’t seem very surprised?”

“Yeah, seen it too many times.”

Pu Xueli shrugged and explained: “Those rats in the gutters of the Can Society love pulling this kind of thing. Though not to the point of once a month, this kind of protest rally appears a few times a year.

They love bewitching civilians, even encouraging civilians to storm the City Association. Otherwise, why do you think the officials crack down harshly on the Can Society?

It’s just that a protest rally this large-scale is pretty rare.”

With the [Load Game] ability, Lu Bai could precisely judge that there were no Can Society high-level officials among these crowds, but only he could be sure of this.

So he asked doubtfully: “Then why doesn’t the official side take action to arrest these people? Just letting them disrupt order here?”

Pu Xueli smiled: “No need. Social destabilizing factors can’t be completely cleaned up. Rather than letting these people dissatisfied with society hide away, it’s better to have them exposed in the sunlight, easier to supervise.”

Finally, this Principal Pu added: “Anyway, these rallies, marches, and such protest activities are all reported and filed.”

After roughly explaining to Lu Bai, Pu Xueli turned to the younger brother and sister with a smile.

“Alright, a bit later and these people will disperse on their own. Nothing to see, let’s go home and eat.”
