My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 162 - 161: So This Is How You Load?
"What do you mean by load?"
Chang Shengtian looked at Lv Bai with a puzzled face, completely unable to understand why he suddenly freaked out.
There was silence for two seconds.
Lv Bai silently dismissed the idea of continuing to try.
Obviously, this "Load" wasn’t supposed to be used like this.
Neither the surroundings nor himself showed any changes.
Just shouting was useless, but he didn’t feel that he gained any new ability either.
He rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
How exactly was it supposed to be used?
Could it be that death is required to trigger it?
Lv Bai slid his hand down and pressed it against his neck.
But what if this isn’t how it works?
After all, to load a game, you usually need to save it first, right?
He probably didn’t save?
"Uh... should we continue?"
Chang Shengtian was half-buried in the soil, only leaving his head out in the air.
Lv Bai adjusted his mindset and nodded.
"Of course."
As Lv Bai replied, a rustling noise untimely came from the dense forest ahead on the left.
Sensing the disturbance, he immediately turned to look at Chang Shengtian.
There was no wind blowing, so it was clearly caused by a living creature.
Chang Shengtian understood what he wanted to ask, closed his eyes to sense for a moment, then quickly opened them again. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
He nodded at Lv Bai.
With a hint of wistful emotion, he sighed, "They actually came looking for us."
"I told you, I’m just saving them some time."
Lv Bai stared in the direction the sound came from, not blinking an eye.
He had to be cautious.
He was very aware that his Ability Pool would be a level higher than other Death Fighters.
So when he encountered such a Black Level Ability Pool, the other Death Fighters’ Ability Pools in this round would probably be Color Level.
He knew well how ridiculously powerful Color Level abilities were.
Even if those Death Fighters only had one Color ability, they were not to be underestimated.
Swish~
A cluster of man-high shrubs was violently split open by a pair of hands.
It was a high school-aged boy, wearing only a rough hemp vest like an old farmer, with two sturdy arms exposed.
The moment he stepped out of the bushes, he noticed Lv Bai and Chang Shengtian not far away.
His gaze didn’t wander between the two but locked directly onto Lv Bai.
After all, the four bright green characters for "Innocent Smile" were particularly conspicuous.
He didn’t show any intention of retreating because of Fei Xiao’s corpse next to Lv Bai.
With unabashed confidence, he said aloud, "Looks like the ’Node’ is with you."
"..."
Lv Bai didn’t respond to the high school student’s words. His attention had already been completely drawn to something else.
The moment this high school student appeared, Lv Bai noticed a colorful and a silver light dot emerging from his body. A line of small text followed in front of him.
{"Detected data file, do you want to read?"}
So this is how load works?
Loading someone else’s file?
Lv Bai tentatively and quietly said, "Load."
Before his voice even fell, he surprisingly saw the two light dots detach from the high school student’s body, rushing towards him.
{"Reading complete, the data is: Steel Body (Color), Broken Stone (Silver)"}
{"Do you want to load the data?"}
Lv Bai: "?"
He probably understood what was going on now.
Reciting "Load" in his mind, {Steel Body} and {Broken Stone} simultaneously appeared in the file slot at the top left of his vision, occupying two-thirds of the slot space.
Not surprisingly, the limit should be loading three abilities simultaneously.
He was just unsure why it was this number.
"Why are you silent?"
The high school student frowned slightly and walked step by step toward Lv 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, Lv Bai still didn’t make any defensive move.
"Yes, the ’Node’ is in my hand."
Lv Bai finally spoke, but his tone sounded somewhat strange.
Clang~
The high school student lifted his leg, drawing a gleaming machete from his shin.
And then, with lightning speed, placed the blade at Lv Bai’s neck.
He grinned, "Then hand it over."
"Why?" Lv Bai asked, puzzled.
Why wasn’t he afraid at all? It was all due to the courage given by {Steel Body}.
{Steel Body (Color): Gain extremely strong defense, even entering the sun’s core won’t harm you. But be advised, if you touch some kind of radioactive stone, you’ll lose your defense.}
"Don’t play dumb with me."
The high school student gritted his teeth, and his arm holding the machete suddenly exerted force.
Screech!
The sharp sound of metal scraping filled the air, startling the high school student.
He felt that when he slashed down, it was like hitting a thick alloy pillar.
The most important thing was, this situation gave him a very strong sense of déjà vu.
However, despite the failed strike, the high school student did not retreat.
Relying on the {Steel Body} he chose in the second-round Ability Pool, he didn’t think Lv Bai had any attack that could harm him now.
"Interesting, I suppose you also chose the defense... huh?!"
Before the high school student could finish, Lv Bai coldly reached out and locked his throat, lifting him off the ground.
Suffocated, the high school student’s face suddenly turned red.
Lv Bai held him for a moment, then casually tossed him to the ground.
"Something’s wrong..."
The high school student lay on his back, not in a hurry to get up.
He felt something was wrong. Even with {Steel Body}, how could he be suffocated just by being choked?
Did he not activate his ability?
He quickly called up the system panel in front of his retina.
In a breath’s time, his face was filled with indescribable shock.
"What’s happening? Bad data?!"
He couldn’t believe it, instinctively slapping his thighs repeatedly: "Where’s my {Steel Body}? {Broken Stone}? What’s going on?!"
Lv Bai wasn’t in a hurry to deliver the final blow.
To be honest, he was a bit surprised too.
So {Load}...
After reading someone else’s data, it corrupts the file?
Lv Bai couldn’t hold back his smile.
This ability effect is really somewhat unreasonable, isn’t it?
To draw a game analogy.
It’s like someone else has a dragon-slaying saber with a 9999 attack, he doesn’t have any great equipment, but he has a GM console.
The high school student gradually grasped the situation, eyes slightly reddening as he glared at Lv Bai.
"It was you! You stole my {Steel Body}! I swear I’ll..."
Lv Bai flicked a spike with his left hand, silencing this Death Fighter.
He then gave a slightly insincere smile: "Sorry, no chance."
{Ding!}
