My Ability Pool is Superior

In Professor Jiang’s tent.

Lu Bai was lying on one of the simple hospital beds, with Zhou Zongming, who had not yet woken up, right beside him.

“Holy shit, a medical miracle.”

Doctor Yang finished checking Lu Bai’s vital signs and couldn’t help but swear.

Professor Jiang, who had been sitting nearby and focusing intently on the computer screen, was interrupted and immediately blew his beard and glared in anger: “What are you doing! You’re such an adult, how can you still be so hasty in everything you do.”

It seemed he was often scolded by Professor Jiang like this, so Doctor Yang didn’t mind at all.

“Professor Jiang, Xiao Lu’s body is simply unbelievable. When he was just brought in, he looked like he needed a critical condition notice. How long has it been?”

Doctor Yang stared at Lu Bai, his eyes gleaming as if he were looking at a priceless piece of jade: “Unfortunately, there’s no equipment here to thoroughly test his various indicators.”

Lu Bai gradually came around and, hearing this, casually brushed it off: “Isn’t this perfectly normal? I wasn’t injured to begin with, right?”

As he spoke, he got up from the hospital bed and moved behind Professor Jiang to glance at the screen on the computer.

He found he couldn’t understand it.

But that didn’t affect what he said next.

“Actually, you can go straight into the production phase. If Company Commander Zhou wakes up, he’ll definitely tell you that someone has already personally tested it for you.”

……

In the blink of an eye, a week passed.

The chaotic and brutal scenes from that night were still vivid in his mind.

But it had to be admitted that humanity’s adaptability, whether to social or natural environments, was very strong.

As time went on, all areas of the settlement became vibrant and full of life again, as if the tragedy had never happened.

That Company Commander Zhou woke up the next day, of course, but getting out of bed and walking around was out of the question; he probably needed to recuperate for a long time.

Vaccine research and development was also proceeding steadily.

If not for the explosion that destroyed a large amount of medical supplies, the process could have been even faster.

As for Xiao Xueyin and Liu Yue, one was enthusiastic about mountain climbing, the other would go swimming in a small stream in the mountainous area whenever she had nothing to do, just like they had never been out in the wild before.

And Lu Bai.

He strolled around everywhere every day, and when he got bored, he would sneak off to kill a few Yaluo for some fun.

Yes, just a few.

For his own safety, taking out that duo directly was a bit too dangerous.

Anyway, with [Super Regeneration] as backup, Lu Bai simply went to stab them once every day, so healing up was completely stress-free.

It was just that the process was quite torturous for Yaluo and his partner.

To be honest, since arriving in this world, it was rare for Lu Bai to have such a leisurely time.

The afternoon sun was bright.

With the mountain breeze blowing, Lu Bai lay lazily under the shade of a tree with his hands pillowed behind his head. Dappled leaves occasionally let through a ray of sunlight, making him squint instinctively.

Suddenly, a delighted voice rang out.

“Lu Bai, so you’re here. Want to go mountain climbing together?”

Hearing the familiar voice, Lu Bai slightly lifted his upper body and looked in the direction the voice came from.

“How did you get out?”

“Hee hee~ I climbed over from Area 19.” Wu Ya plopped down happily beside Lu Bai.

Yes, Wu Ya and her two friends had not perished.

Back then, Duan Jianhui had indeed taken out two USB drives, trying to use them to threaten Lu Bai.

But a moment’s calm thought would reveal that it was their first face-to-face encounter at the time.

Perhaps Duan Jianhui did know of Lu Bai’s existence, since he had gone to that store outside the school.

But with so many death fighters in the deathmatch arena, what reason did he have to specifically guard against one of them?

He wasn’t a fortune teller; how could he predict that he would ultimately fall to Lu Bai.

What he said back then was, in the end, just a tactic to disrupt mindset during battle.

“Aren’t you afraid of getting caught?”

Lu Bai lay back down, continuing to enjoy the rare leisure time.

He was just saying it; Zhou Zongming’s side had already started recruiting volunteers from the civilians, so where would there be extra manpower to chase people around.

Wu Ya curled her legs up, hugging her knees with both hands, faintly carrying a bit of resentment.

“You’re one to talk. You’re the one running out every day; I never see you around.”

Lu Bai adjusted his lying position and drawled a warning: “But you’d better not run around recklessly. There are occasionally one or two zombies wandering over near the military base.”

Hearing this, Wu Ya’s toes occasionally pointed up, her body leaning back slightly, looking overall like a roly-poly toy: “Hee hee, are you worried about me?”

“Sort of.”

“I wanted to ask, didn’t you say you people aren’t from this world?”

Wu Ya tried hard to act nonchalant, but still seemed a bit unnatural: “So, do you have a girlfriend in your world?”

Lu Bai replied: “I have a few. What’s up?”

Wu Ya: “……”

The mountain breeze brushed past, and Wu Ya seemed petrified.

Zzzzt~

The walkie-talkie emitted a burst of static, breaking the silence.

Lu Bai took out the walkie-talkie and pressed the talk button: “Professor Jiang?”

“Xiao Lu, where are you? Come over quickly.”

“Something up?”

“Of course it’s good news. The first batch of warriors injected with the vaccine have passed the safety evaluation. Next, we can do mass vaccinations. At such a key moment, how can the big contributor be absent?”

Although the voice from the walkie-talkie was somewhat distorted, Professor Jiang’s excitement was still clearly felt.

“No need, it’s your achievement anyway.”

Before Professor Jiang could reply, Lu Bai turned off the walkie-talkie.

After testing, this vaccine could make people immune to zombie attacks, as if they disappeared from the zombies’ eyes—even shouting loudly nearby wouldn’t attract their attention.

So after mass vaccination, the zombies wandering around would no longer pose a threat.

In other words, restoring order would just be a matter of time.

So…

Lu Bai stared at the veins of a leaf overhead and murmured softly: “It should be over, right?”

“What?” Wu Ya didn’t hear clearly.

Not long after, the mechanical prompt sound indeed rang out.

[Ding!]

[Target Mission One: Rebuild Order (Completed)]

[This deathmatch duel will close in thirty seconds. Please remain in place, death fighters, and do not move.]

Lu Bai slightly turned his head, staring straight at Wu Ya until the high school student’s face gradually flushed red, then he smiled and said: “If you want to save people in the future, make sure you’re safe first.”

“Ah, you…”

“I’ll take my leave.”

Before the words finished, the screen froze, followed by pitch black.

……

[Ding!]

[First deathmatch duel ended. Beginning return.]

[Settling—]

[Settlement complete.]

[Death Fighter final rank: 1]

[Death Fighter total points: 102 (Double points in effect)]

[Top Ten rewards distributed]

[First Place rewards distributed]

[Hidden achievement achieved, rewards distributed.]

[Performance in this deathmatch duel: Unbelievable]

[Performance meets standard: may permanently retain one ability obtained in this deathmatch duel]

[Reward details viewable in data panel.]

……

“Holy shit!”

“Ah~ so tiring.”

“Damn it.”

“Damn cat-petting, I was just a little short!”

His eardrums were suddenly assaulted by a flood of noise, as if space and time had shifted.

The powerful strength filling his body was instantly drained, giving Lu Bai the illusion that he had been hooked up to more than one [Heavenly Conduit].

He slowly opened his eyes and looked around.

What met his eyes was a spacious hall, with an overall black, white, and gray color scheme that unconsciously conveyed an oppressive and solemn atmosphere.

The dark brown rostrum further intensified the serious atmosphere.

Around Lu Bai were densely packed young people; he roughly estimated there were probably no fewer than a thousand.

Given his complete ignorance of the current situation, Lu Bai simply stood in place and turned to check his own data panel.

[Personal Interface:]

[Username: Rename 26LB (Temporarily uneditable)]

[Title: (Click to view wearable titles)]

[Talent: 8+10.2 (1 point can convert to 0.1 talent, currently converting, estimated time: seven days)]

[Ability: (Click to select)]

[Evaluation: None]

The system UI trend was indeed toward simplicity, but wasn’t the included information a bit too sparse?

Lu Bai hesitated for a moment, then tentatively clicked the title section, and three titles of different colors immediately popped up.

[Pure Smile (One Star): Increases luck.] (Top Ten rank reward, generated based on style of conduct in deathmatch duel, wearable)

[Head Chopper Butcher (Three Stars): Using cold weapons increases head-locking effect] (First Place reward, randomly drawn from below Three Star title pool, wearable)

[Ultimate Murderer (Three Stars): Enhances killing intent, even causing blood sea illusions.] (Hidden title, obtained by earning over one hundred points in a single event, wearable)

“This…”

Upon noticing the one-star and three-star suffixes on the titles, Lu Bai gradually understood everything as if enlightened.

According to the information from the deathmatch system, the star level suffix could be crudely understood as strength.

Simply put, the higher the star level, the more powerful the title.

But it wasn’t set in stone; titles could be upgraded in stars.

Two one-star titles could be synthesized into a two-star title, two two-star titles could similarly be synthesized into a three-star title… and so on.

During star upgrade, one could choose to reroll randomly or retain the effect of one title to upgrade its star level.

Incidentally, death fighters could wear up to three titles; besides the main title worn, the remaining two secondary titles could be hidden.

After understanding pretty much everything, Lu Bai equipped [Pure Smile] and waited silently for a bit, but felt no changes.

From the descriptions of the few titles, if abilities were actively used, titles seemed to be passive effects.

This left him unsure whether the luck enhancement was too vague or the one-star title was too weak…

Anyway, whatever.

He only had these three titles anyway, so might as well equip them all.
