My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 132 - 131: Reminder

The next day, clear skies.

After finishing his usual chat with the school’s onsite psychologist, Lv Bai stepped out of the counseling room and looked up at the holographic sky.

Just as always, the sun was shining brightly, and there was still some time before mealtime.

Since it was still early, he decided to head toward the combat training ground.

After causing such a stir yesterday, he was no longer invisible to others.

Ranking first in two consecutive rounds of deadly duels, his performance was so outstanding that many found it glaring.

Students he met along the way instinctively stepped aside.

"Lv Bai? The rising genius of our campus?"

"Yes, that’s him."

"I heard that when his score was announced yesterday, no one believed it and they almost expelled him."

"Impossible, who would be that stupid?"

"It’s absolutely true, my cousin was there at the time and it’s definitely real."

"If he were really expelled, that would be interesting."

Many students whispered among themselves after walking past him.

But they only dared to whisper behind his back, hardly anyone dared to look up in front of Lv Bai.

"How did we never hear of such an elite before?"

"Shh~ Keep your voice down. Let me tell you, he wasn’t impressive before. I heard he fell into a river..."

Normally, faced with such an outstanding potential stock, people would approach Lv Bai whether to cling onto him or to recruit him on behalf of their own.

However, Lv Bai didn’t behave normally. His former social circle was limited to his class, and no one had any information on him.

Plus, the rumor about him falling into water causing a drastic change in his personality, soaring as if unblocked, left them uncertain of what Lv Bai was like now.

Before figuring things out, all factions opted to continue observing.

Lv Bai was indifferent to others’ gossip; as long as it didn’t affect him, he enjoyed the peace and quiet.

Arriving at the combat training ground.

Lv Bai skillfully changed into a loose combat outfit.

He casually placed the protective gear on the ground and started warming up by himself.

Seeing this, a skinny old man walked over, picked up the gear, and patted away nonexistent dust.

"Kid, you’re something, even I’ve heard about you."

The skinny old man sized Lv Bai up, marveling, "Tsk tsk, never thought you’d be first in two rounds."

Lv Bai returned a smile without speaking and continued warming up.

"I misjudged you. You were here every day last month. Although I thought you’d get a decent score, your score is excessively good."

Hearing this, Lv Bai stopped his warm-up, giving an ambiguous smile at the skinny old man.

Only when the old man’s expression stiffened from Lv Bai’s gaze did he softly ask, "Did someone ask you to find me?"

"Haha, no, no."

The old man laughed dryly, waved his hands repeatedly.

Awkwardly watching Lv Bai finish warming up, he handed back the protective gear and quickly turned to leave.

Watching the old man’s retreating figure, Lv Bai shifted his gaze away.

Since he was new here and had mostly been living between home and the training ground last month, he hadn’t really made any friends.

Apart from his siblings, the skinny old man and Liang Fuzhong were probably the only two who could talk to him, well... the psychologist doesn’t count.

In any case, under such circumstances, if someone wanted to inquire about him through these two, he wasn’t surprised at all.

Whether inside or outside the campus, many forces might be interested.

...

But what Lv Bai didn’t know.

The skinny old man didn’t report to anyone after leaving the combat training ground.

Instead, he leisurely returned to his residence.

The sound of water splashing~

The skinny old man used a watering can to water a meticulously pruned potted plant.

Yet, his gaze didn’t fall on the plant, but far away.

His cloudy eyes seemed unfocused as he mumbled serenely.

"This way, it should make him wary, right? You’re quite the hot commodity now, tsk tsk..."

...

Living in the Underground City, natural food was a renewable resource, expensive but limited as a daily expense. Among the necessities, only housing seemed to have no upper limit in cost.

Since not buying a house, Lv Bai was not short of money now, even enough to support occasional splurges in high-end places, though he didn’t have such preferences.

In the days that followed, Lv Bai returned to his lifestyle of commuting between the campus and Habitable City.

A genius rising from the bottom like him had a certain media hype value.

Initially, the media swarmed in.

But Lv Bai and Lü Ziyi staunchly refused interviews, and within a week, the hype subsided.

The public hadn’t forgotten this genius, but losing interest was inevitable.

Internet users’ memories were realized through discussions; without new discussion points, people naturally moved on to other topics.

Perhaps when the news of Lv Bai winning first place in three rounds emerged, it would stir up waves again.

"Lv Qingyan! It’s time for bed!"

Lü Ziyi stood in front of the sofa in pajamas with strawberry patterns, hands on her hips.

The little brat’s face twitched, then he started making excuses: "I ate expired synthetic meat, my stomach hurts, it’s all because you got fooled when buying meat."

It’s worth noting that with the school’s reward money, the family’s meals had been quite good recently, at least they weren’t lacking in nutrition.

Lü Ziyi frowned angrily: "What nonsense are you spouting! Lü... your brother is having his third round of deadly duels tomorrow, don’t disturb him."

"Let big bro judge, I said the old lady’s meat must have been problematic, but you insisted on getting a bargain. How is it now? Regret it? Want to go settle scores with her?"

Lv Qingyan seized the chance and pressed the attack.

Lv Bai quietly put down his phone, his gaze shifting between the siblings.

Feeling like staying quiet was probably best right now.

"Ahhhhh! Lv Qingyan, you’re dead meat!"

Lü Ziyi was both embarrassed and angry, raising her hand to prepare to smack the brat.

But considering Lv Bai really needed rest, she forcibly took a deep breath twice, tilting her chin slightly: "That old lady doesn’t have it easy either, I don’t regret it, I’m feeling very relaxed, just need a little time to adjust."

Lv Qingyan sneered.

"You say that, but I know you’ll be up all night thinking about it, unable to sleep, imagining what if you’d checked more carefully, imagining what if you could do it over. This thought will linger in your mind, even in your dreams, never stopping."

Noticing Lü Ziyi’s face turning visibly red.

Lv Bai hesitated for a moment, then quietly got up and hid in the bathroom.

No hope, let them be.
