My Ability Pool is Superior

Chapter 162: So That’s How You Load Game?

“What do you mean load game?”

Chang Shengtian looked at Lu Bai with a completely baffled expression, utterly confused about why he had suddenly lost it.

Silence for two seconds.

Lu Bai silently dismissed the idea of continuing to try.

Obviously, this [Load Game] wasn’t used like that.

Neither the surrounding environment nor himself showed any changes.

Just shouting didn’t work, and he didn’t feel like he had gained any ability.

He rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Exactly how was it used?

Could it be that he needed to die to trigger it?

Lu Bai swiped his hand downward and gripped his own neck.

But what if it wasn’t used like that?

After all, load game and such required saving first, right?

He probably hadn’t saved?

“Uh… do we continue?”

Most of Chang Shengtian’s body had melted into the soil, leaving only his head in the air.

Lu Bai adjusted his mindset and nodded.

“Of course.”

Just as Lu Bai responded, a rustling sound came inappropriately from the dense forest to the left front.

Noticing this movement, he immediately turned his head to look at Chang Shengtian.

There was no wind at the moment, clearly caused by a living creature.

Chang Shengtian knew what he wanted to ask, closed his eyes to sense for a moment, then quickly opened them again.

He nodded toward Lu Bai.

With a hint of melancholy, he sighed, “It actually came looking proactively.”

“I said, I’m just helping them save time.”

Lu Bai stared in the direction of the sound without even blinking.

He had to be cautious now.

He was well aware that his ability pool was one level higher than other death fighters.

So when he encountered this black level ability pool, other death fighters’ ability pools in this round would probably be color level.

He knew how exaggerated the power of color level abilities was.

Even if these death fighters only had one color ability, they were still not to be underestimated.

Rustle~

A cluster of bushes nearly as tall as a person was violently parted from the middle by a pair of hands.

It was a boy of high school student age, wearing only a coarse horse robe like an old farmer on his upper body, with two muscular arms exposed.

The moment he stepped out from the bushes, he noticed Lu Bai and Chang Shengtian not far away.

His gaze didn’t wander between the two, locking directly onto Lu Bai.

After all, the four emerald green words “Pure Smile” were particularly conspicuous.

He showed no intention of retreating because of Fei Xiao’s corpse next to Lu Bai.

His expression carried undisguised confidence as he said loudly.

“Looks like the ‘Node’ is on you.”

“…”

Lu Bai didn’t respond to the high school student; his attention was completely drawn to something else.

The moment this high school student appeared, Lu Bai noticed one color and one silver light spot emerge on him, followed immediately by a line of small text in his view.

[Data file detected. Read?]

…So that’s what load game meant?

Loading someone else’s file?

Lu Bai tentatively said softly, “Load game.”

Before the words finished, he saw the two light spots detach from the high school student and surge toward him.

[Read complete. Data: Steel Body (color), Gravel (silver)]

[Load data?]

Lu Bai: “?”

He now roughly understood what was going on.

Silently reciting “load” in his mind, [Steel Body] and [Gravel] appeared simultaneously in the gear slot in the upper left of his view, occupying two-thirds of the gear slot.

As expected, the limit was probably loading three abilities at once.

He just didn’t know why it was this quantity.

“Why aren’t you talking?”

The high school student frowned and stepped toward Lu Bai.

“What do you mean? Giving up?”

The high school student couldn’t help but feel a bit surprised.

Because even when he was almost face-to-face, Lu Bai still made no defensive action.

“Yes, the ‘Node’ is in my hands.”

Lu Bai finally spoke, though his tone sounded a bit odd.

Clang~

The high school student raised his leg and drew a cleaver gleaming with cold light from his calf.

Then, with lightning speed, he placed the blade against Lu Bai’s neck.

He grinned, “Then hand it over.”

“Why?” Lu Bai asked puzzled.

As for why he wasn’t afraid, it was all thanks to [Steel Body] giving him courage.

[Steel Body (color): Gain super strong defense power. Even entering the sun’s core won’t injure you, but note that touching certain stones with radioactive radiation will negate the defense effect.]

“Don’t play dumb with me.”

The high school student gritted his teeth and suddenly exerted force with the arm gripping the cleaver.

Sizzle!

The sudden sound of metal friction made the high school student pale in shock.

He felt like that slash was like cutting into a thick alloy pillar.

Most importantly, this situation gave him an extremely strong déjà vu.

However, after one failed strike, the high school student didn’t retreat.

Relying on the [Steel Body] he chose in the second round ability pool, he didn’t believe Lu Bai had any attack that could hurt him now.

“Interesting. You must have chosen defense too… uh?!”

Before the high school student finished speaking, Lu Bai suddenly reached out, locked his throat, and lifted him off the ground.

Breathing obstructed, the high school student’s face suddenly flushed red.

Lu Bai held him up for a while, then casually threw him to the ground.

“Something’s wrong…”

The high school student lay flat on the ground, not hurrying to get up.

He felt something off now. He had [Steel Body], so how could someone just choke his neck and make breathing difficult?

Had he not activated the ability?

He urgently summoned the system panel in front of his retina.

In one breath, the high school student’s face was overcome with intense shock beyond words.

“This… what’s the situation? Corrupted save?!”

In disbelief, he subconsciously slapped his thigh repeatedly with his hand: “Where’s my [Steel Body]? Where’s [Gravel]? What’s going on?!”

Lu Bai didn’t rush to kill him.

Truth be told, he was a bit surprised too.

So [Load Game]…

Loaded someone else’s data and corrupted their save?

Lu Bai couldn’t hold back, unconsciously revealing a smile.

This ability effect was really unreasonable.

Using a game analogy.

It was like others had a dragon slaying knife with 9999 damage, he had no good equipment, but in his hand was the control console.

The high school student gradually reacted, his eyes staring at Lu Bai turning slightly red.

“You? You stole my [Steel Body]! I’ll…”

Lu Bai flicked a spike from his left hand, quieting the death fighter.

Then he smiled insincerely: “Peace.”

[Ding!]
