My Ability Pool is Superior

After the house door closed, the visibility in the house became very low.

“Please enjoy.”

The dark-skinned little girl closed her eyes in fear, kneeling at Lu Bai’s feet, her body trembling nonstop.

Upon closer observation, one would also notice tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes.

Ah, this…

Lu Bai looked at this village girl, then at the house door she had locked.

He was thinking.

Although he didn’t have a deep understanding yet, just from this brief contact, he could conclude that humans in this world probably didn’t have an easy life?

Lu Bai immediately squatted down and touched the village girl’s head.

Just this touch alone made the little girl tremble crazily all over like a quail.

The little girl’s hair was rough, severely split, and dry, not feeling great to the touch.

But he didn’t mind, saying softly, “You might have misunderstood something. Open your eyes first.”

The little village girl, whether from extreme fear or some other reason, showed no reaction besides trembling.

Lu Bai had no choice but to repeat it once more.

Probably feeling that the situation had taken a turn, the little village girl cautiously opened her eyes.

During this process, her whole body was tense, afraid that upon opening her eyes she would see some bloody, anomalous scene.

“You… won’t eat…”

Lu Bai was too lazy to explain, turning his body sideways and pointing at the miniature stone house at the base of the wall.

“What is this?”

The little village girl clearly looked at a loss.

Seeing this, Lu Bai simply stopped repeating and let her calm down on her own first.

The house immediately quieted down.

About a minute or two passed.

The little village girl timidly stared at Lu Bai, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s.

“God of Wealth Building.”

Fortunately, the house itself was very quiet, so Lu Bai could hear clearly.

He immediately followed up, “Worship God of Wealth?”

While the little village girl spoke, her gaze involuntarily glanced at the God of Wealth Building, as if a bit worried about offending something.

She explained in a respectful tone, “No, the God of Wealth Building is a place to house Household Immortals.”

……

After chatting with the little village girl for a while, Lu Bai had a basic understanding of this world.

As he had guessed, supernatural power did exist in this world.

But it wasn’t overrun by monsters with people living in misery.

There was currently order in place.

Great Immortal Master, Yellow Great Immortal, White Great Immortal, Long Great Immortal.

This order could simply be referred to as the Four Great Gates.

These immortals were not opposed to humans; “mutual help” might be a more fitting description.

Household Immortals, or Household Guardian Immortals, were naturally the lowest level, not even having establishment.

As slightly cultivated members of the Four Great Gates, they could only bless home safety and had no qualification to have shrines or statues; they could only be housed in these miniature human residences.

Household Immortals had low magic power and a high degree of animalization.

So they generally did not descend to altars, did not speak, and would not possess family members to make the person a Spirit Messenger.

Family members only needed to burn incense and worship them at fixed times.

The next level up was called Altar Immortal.

They could simply be understood as the most basic frontline organization, like a residents’ committee or something.

As for higher levels, of course they existed, but unfortunately, they were beyond what a village girl like Xiao Li could know.

“If that’s the case, then what were you doing just now?”

Lu Bai noticed the blind spot.

If nothing unexpected, the villagers before had taken him for a highly cultivated Wild Immortal.

Then, why be afraid?

Didn’t humans get along well with these Four Great Gates?

That previous action clearly offered Xiao Li to cope with him?

After knowing Lu Bai was human, Xiao Li’s courage grew quite a bit.

She said softly, “Many people in the village have gone missing recently, and passing Incense Masters all say the worldly affairs are unsettled these days.”

She shrank her neck and continued.

“I heard, heard that Grandma Wang San disappeared, anyway, recently don’t go out after dark, and definitely don’t walk at night.”

Lu Bai nodded in understanding.

If the Four Great Gates’ top layer was those four Great Immortals, then on the human side, the top was this Grandma Wang San.

The Four Great Gates faith and folk Incense Sect System were established and led by her.

If she suddenly disappeared, trouble arising was only natural.

As for the Qinggang Forest he passed through that afternoon, it had always been uneasy, with almost no one daring to pass through it at night.

After Grandma Wang San disappeared, it naturally became even more dangerous, and often even passing through during the day could lead to accidents.

This was also why the villagers, upon hearing Lu Bai came from Qinggang Forest and seeing his extraordinary demeanor, immediately took him for a Wild Immortal.

“Right, you said you traveled all day, must be hungry? I’ll make you something to eat.”

Xiao Li patted the dust off her knees and got up to start a fire in the wood stove.

Lu Bai turned to examine the God of Wealth Building at the base of the wall.

From beginning to end, there had been no movement from inside the God of Wealth Building.

If he could chat with the Household Immortal, perhaps he could learn more.

It didn’t take long for Xiao Li to bring a bowl of noodles and place it in front of Lu Bai.

Clear soup with little water, hard to expect it to be very delicious.

But Lu Bai didn’t mind much, picking up the chopsticks with some mold spots at the end and eating directly.

Seeing Lu Bai not disdain it at all, Xiao Li immediately boasted.

“Hehe, I see you’re like a young master from a wealthy family, definitely haven’t tasted our kind of craftsmanship.”

Lu Bai swallowed the noodles and smiled mildly, “Thank you.”

Probably because living in the village, she rarely saw such a handsome man.

Xiao Li stared dazedly at him eating for a while before getting up and saying.

“I’ll go make your bed, make do for tonight.”

……

Chirp~ Chirp~ Chirp~

Lu Bai lay on a crude wooden board bed with his hands pillowed behind his head.

The incessant chirping of insects outside the house, occasionally mixed with distant dog barks, full of rural night’s clamor.

Perhaps having lived modern life too long, he actually didn’t feel much sleepiness now.

Pondering what to do next.

Half a day had passed, with only six Death Fighters eliminated.

Undoubtedly, this round of Deathmatch Duel’s scope was much larger than the previous two rounds.

He needed a more efficient way to find Death Fighters.

After lying groggily on the bed for a while, he sat up.

Got out of bed and walked to the window.

Due to being next to the mountain, mist rose early.

The pervasive early mist had already enveloped the entire village, making the wooden houses and broken tiles outside the window hazy, draping a layer of mysterious aura over everything.

He wasn’t sleepless in the middle of the night getting up to whimsically do breathing exercises, but felt something off.

The insect chirps around the house… had gotten quieter.

No, more precisely, farther away.

The nearby insects had stopped chirping.

On the misty stone path, at some unknown time, a figure had suddenly appeared.

That figure had arms obviously longer than a normal person’s, and seemed to be naked, standing on the road looking around.
