My Ability Pool is Superior

Lu Bai stayed in the nightclub for less than half an hour before getting up and leaving.

To put it bluntly, no matter how eagerly he performed, the Can Society members would not simply spill all the news to him.

That wouldn’t be called trust; that would be called brainless.

Initial contact was just about recognizing faces; only after multiple such contacts would recognition slowly build up.

Lu Bai left the nightclub and did not stroll on Yiju City’s streets; he went straight home.

……

After Lu Bai left.

Kang Meirou gave Ding Zhongmin a gaze, signaling him to come over for a private chat.

She got up and walked to the booth in the corner and sat down; due to the lights not being on, visibility was very low, and even her expression was hard to make out in the shadows.

In less than a moment, Ding Zhongmin sat down in front of Kang Meirou.

“How much do you trust him?”

Kang Meirou asked in a low, soft voice.

“I don’t trust him at all.”

“Then you…”

“Whether that kid really wants to join us or is just pretending, does it make any difference to us?

If that kid reports us now, we’ll at most just abandon this hideout; if he’s here to be an undercover agent, heh…”

Ding Zhongmin snorted coldly, lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth; under the double cover of smoke and shadows, his expression was completely indiscernible.

Kang Meirou thought about it and felt it was indeed the reason, then she also took out a lady’s cigarette and lit it.

“Do as you like; anyway, among these directors, you act the most steadily.”

Ding Zhongmin took a deep drag on the cigarette.

“Don’t forget to have Director Yang check that kid’s background.”

“Don’t worry.”

……

When Lu Bai got home, the siblings were both curled up on the sofa playing on their mobile phones.

The siblings were probably scared of being poor.

Although they had a large sum of money, Lu Ziyi still didn’t dare to spend it lavishly.

Not to mention going to high-consumption places; the only significant expense was buying a mobile phone for Lu Qingyan.

She herself was still using her old phone.

However, Lu Ziyi herself was quite satisfied with this kind of life.

She quit her three-shift job at the convenience store; every day, apart from taking some time to buy groceries and cook, the rest of the time was free to dispose of.

She looked much more nourished overall, and her originally slightly shriveled figure had gained some flesh.

“Yo, big bro, you’re back so early today.” The little brat heard the door close, saw it was Lu Bai, and immediately stood up on the sofa.

Lu Ziyi also immediately stood up, reflexively wanting to greet him, but awkwardly forced the words back down.

“I’m going out to buy groceries.”

“Then be careful.”

Lu Bai stepped aside halfway, watching her open the door and disappear into the corridor.

The little brat pursed his lips: “Women are just petty.”

Lu Bai walked to the sofa and sat down, snatched the mobile phone from the little brat’s hand, and while the little brat was stunned, asked the question that had puzzled him for this period.

“Why has your sister always been so cold to me?”

Lu Qingyan didn’t feel it was strange.

The excuse of drowning and losing memory was indeed very effective on kids.

However, he hadn’t widely promoted this excuse; he only mentioned it when facing Lu Qingyan.

The reason was that he didn’t want to be dragged off for testing.

He had looked into it.

Underground City No. 9’s medical level was quite advanced; otherwise, they wouldn’t have detected the defect in Lu Bai’s brain.

They had very complete neuroimaging tools like magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, positron emission tomography, and functional magnetic resonance imaging.

They could easily determine if the brain areas responsible for storing related information and forming memories were damaged.

If he were dragged off for testing and something was found, Lu Bai would really be in trouble.

“Still asking why?”

The little brat put his hands on his hips and sat down cross-legged like his legs had no bones: “Isn’t it because of what happened when mom passed away?”

“……What do you mean?”

The little brat spread his hands.

“How would I know? I was so young then. It must be that you offended her somewhere; anyway, since mom passed away, big sis has always had a bad complexion toward you.

I’d say, women are all petty, especially Lu Ziyi; she always holds grudges.”

Lu Bai was silent for a while and gave sincere advice: “Don’t say this in front of her.”

……

The bland days passed in a tense manner.

These days, Lu Bai resumed his two-point-one-line life between school and home.

During this time, he had been tensely anticipating Can Society people coming to find him.

However, none did.

Not to mention calling him to do bad things together; there wasn’t even any intention to meet and connect emotionally.

Truly just sewer rats, unable to see even a bit of light.

Lu Bai was helpless about this.

He had even been expecting Ding Zhongmin to introduce him to more Can Society members.

From the last contact, though it was just a taste, Lu Bai had more or less learned part of Can Society’s organizational structure.

One president, two vice presidents, plus ten directors, and the rest were ordinary members.

Lu Bai wasn’t thinking of infiltrating Can Society’s interior; he just wanted to read abilities from these guys.

After all, the [Load Game] ability was too overpowered; using it in the deathmatch arena was fine, but using it in the real world was no different from ruining someone’s future.

Setting aside the facts, Lu Bai still preferred doing good deeds.

But leaving the temporary slot bar empty in reality wasn’t ideal.

Targeting Can Society members made him feel more at ease.

It was just that the abilities of those guys in the nightclub last time weren’t really appealing to Lu Bai; otherwise, he would have acted long ago.

……

Zu Dian Campus, principal’s office.

“How does it feel? Any discomfort at work?”

Pu Xueli was very attentive to Lu Bai’s matters and often called him over to chat a few words.

After a few times, Lu Bai had become much more casual, knowing that Pu Xueli wasn’t the kind of leader who needed subordinates to tremble to show his authority.

“You know the situation in the assessment department.”

Lu Bai picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea water.

In fact, he had been officially employed for almost a month; not to mention the entire assessment department, he hadn’t even recognized all the teaching staff in his own Group Six.

It really wasn’t that he was arrogant and disdained interacting with group members; it was purely that the assessment department was too idle.

At least in this month, he hadn’t seen the group members all together at the office location; most of the time, Assessment Group Six’s office was empty, and only occasionally with good luck would he bump into two or three cats or dogs.

Lu Bai couldn’t even find opportunities to show his official authority.

Later on, he also gave up; every morning he clocked in and then left, spending his free time soaking in the fighting arena.

Pu Xueli tapped the desk with his finger: “Since that’s the case, for next week’s teaching exchange, are you interested in leading the team?”
