My Ability Pool is Superior

Lu Bai patted himself down and said, “I have no money.”

This was the fact.

He had already borrowed a whole set of clothes from the shop owner; borrowing money would be a bit excessive.

“No money?”

The green-haired youth spat, stood up displeased, raised his voice to increase the deterrence: “If I find money on you, it’s mine, how about that?”

Passersby noticed the conflict on their side, but no one stepped forward to speak righteously.

Most were grinning, and some onlookers walked out of shops, whistling at the green-haired youth with an appearance of watching for fun.

Chikan Bay was just like that.

Almost every day there were incidents of shooting on the street; roadblocking for protection fee was just a drop in the bucket.

In fact, if the green-haired youth hadn’t taken the lead, probably some other thug would have come to make trouble.

Who could blame Lu Bai for looking so easy to bully.

After the green-haired youth spoke and saw Lu Bai had no reaction, he stepped forward, planning to search him personally.

“Don’t try to scare me.”

However, Lu Bai took half a step back and sincerely reminded, “I am someone who even plays 4399 mini-games with invincible mode from childhood; what pressure resistance ability could I have?”

The green-haired youth didn’t know what 4399 was, but he clearly felt Lu Bai wasn’t scared by him.

This made him even more displeased: “Then today I’ll make you withstand some pressure!”

As he spoke, he raised his fist, planning to smash it into Lu Bai’s face.

At that moment, a forceful slapping sound suddenly rang out from a nearby shop.

That was the sound of a cleaver slapping on a cutting board.

Lu Bai looked towards the direction the sound came from and noticed it was a girl with an apron tied around her waist.

She stood in a semi-open kitchen, dressed plainly, without makeup on her face, yet unable to cover the gentle beauty like a neighbor girl on her body, and due to her age of about seventeen or eighteen, it added a natural youthful attractiveness.

At this moment, she was glaring straight at the green-haired youth, her small face also carrying a bit of angry flush.

Normally, a little girl getting angry couldn’t scare a thug at all; it would only excite them more.

But the green-haired youth helplessly sighed and waved his hand at the little girl: “What are you thinking? I’m just joking with this little brother.”

With that, he immediately reached out to put his arm around Lu Bai’s shoulder and said with a threatening tone: “Little Bai, right?”

Seeing the situation develop to this point, many of the surrounding onlookers let out boos.

Some even directly teased loudly.

“Shrimp Brother, how did you chicken out?”

“Can’t you stand up? As a brother, it’s no good to be so afraid of Shrimp Girl.”

“Disperse, disperse; this guy is just a siscon.”

The green-haired youth immediately stuck out his neck and verbally retorted.

In an instant, the street was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

As if suddenly jumping from the set of Young and Dangerous to Love Apartment.

To say it, this actually wasn’t a good phenomenon; such a rapid shift meant Chikan Bay’s residents were accustomed to illegal acts.

Fighting and someone dying was at most just a little interlude in their daily life.

Shrimp Girl ran out, pulling Lu Bai into the shop.

Seeing this scene, before the green-haired youth could say anything, the nearby neighbors started teasing first.

“Shrimp Brother, watch out for your sister elbowing outwards.”

“Yeah yeah, be careful; that pretty boy looks strangely handsome, and nowadays these women fall for that type.”

The green-haired youth pursed his lips.

“Go go go, don’t talk nonsense; my sister is just kind-hearted, have you only known her today?”

……

Shrimp Claypot Rice.

Before entering the shop, Lu Bai glanced at the sign above the entrance.

At this afternoon hour, the shop was very quiet with no customers.

Shrimp Girl said nothing throughout, making the shop seem even quieter.

She walked to the counter, picked up a ballpoint pen, wrote a line on the back of an invoice, and handed it to Lu Bai.

[Don’t mind it; my brother just wants to earn money to help me get treatment.]

Shrimp Girl’s handwriting was neat and graceful, but Lu Bai’s attention was quickly drawn to the content of the note.

He raised an eyebrow, looked towards the girl in front of him, and silently pointed a finger at his own mouth: “You…”

Shrimp Girl didn’t avoid it and nodded frankly.

Then she picked up another discarded invoice and wrote on the back.

[You must have been scared, right? I’ll treat you to a meal, then don’t blame my brother.]

Although he wasn’t scared…

Lu Bai indeed hadn’t eaten for a long time, so why not get a free meal?

The smile on his face was extremely kind: “You’re too polite.”

Shrimp Girl waved her hand somewhat embarrassedly and turned to enter the kitchen as if fleeing.

The semi-open kitchen design was itself to let customers eat with peace of mind and reassurance.

Especially in a chaotic place like Chikan Bay, individual restaurants basically had to use this design, otherwise business couldn’t pick up.

Not long after, Shrimp Girl brought over a bowl of claypot rice and placed it in front of Lu Bai.

Anyway, there were no other customers at the moment, so she simply sat down in front of Lu Bai and wrote with a ballpoint pen.

[Eat and leave after; this place isn’t suitable for you.]

“Does Chikan Bay not welcome outsiders?”

Lu Bai picked up a piece of shrimp with chopsticks and tossed it into his mouth; the texture was quite smooth and refreshing.

Shrimp Girl shook her head, thought for a moment, and wrote.

[Someone like you shouldn’t come to Chikan Bay.]

Lu Bai glanced at Shrimp Girl, then lowered his head and shoveled two bites of rice.

“But I have nowhere else to go.”

While he spoke, his face still had that gentle expression.

But in Shrimp Girl’s eyes, it inevitably led to misunderstanding; she hurriedly picked up the pen to write again.

Unfortunately, just halfway through writing, the green-haired youth had already returned to the shop.

Seeing the situation inside the shop, he was shocked.

“Damn! Kid, not paying protection fee is one thing, but how are you eating now?”

Shrimp Girl turned to look at the green-haired youth, her expression showing some dissatisfaction.

Shrimp Brother’s mouth twitched, and he raised his hands in surrender: “Alright alright alright, let this kid finish eating and leave, okay?”

Shrimp Girl crumpled the half-written note into a ball, wrote a new one, and showed the content to Shrimp Brother.

[He has no home to return to; he’s pitiful.]

After reading it, Shrimp Brother vigilantly countered: “What’s that got to do with us?”

Seeing Shrimp Girl’s expression turn aggrieved, he wailed in despair.

“Little ancestor, we still need to save money for your treatment; how could we have the ability to help…”

While the siblings were talking, the bowl of shrimp claypot rice in front of Lu Bai had been eaten clean.

He placed the chopsticks flat on the bowl’s edge and said, “Don’t worry, Shrimp Brother.”

With that, Lu Bai stood up and walked towards the entrance.

At the shop entrance, he stopped, turned around, and smilingly added to Shrimp Girl.

“The claypot rice was delicious; thank you.”
