My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 176 - 175: Frenzied Discussion

The four leaderboards in the user communication interface are not just honorary.

If a Death Fighter makes it onto the leaderboard, they’ll receive tangible rewards.

At a fixed time each month, title rewards are distributed based on rankings.

The higher the rank, the higher the star level of the rewarded title.

It’s rare for Death Fighters to choose to wear these granted titles; most consider them as material for star upgrades.

Since leaderboard rankings are directly related to personal interests, the attention to these four leaderboards spikes after each deathmatch.

The most attention-grabbing leaderboard is the Ability leaderboard.

Due to its highly random nature, this leaderboard often sees the rise of dark horses.

Veteran Death Fighters are quite used to this by now.

But for someone like Lv Bai, this kind of crazy performance is unprecedented.

Holding three out of the top twenty positions, something many wouldn’t even dream of.

Moreover, Lv Bai is not only on the Ability leaderboard.

You can also find his username on the Talent and Title leaderboards.

This way of entering the rankings makes it clear to everyone.

This clever Murphy is likely a newcomer who has just completed the first three rounds of deathmatches and probably just set up his username.

A history-making newcomer bursting onto the scene is definitely big news.

The real-time chat channel of the Deathmatch System is buzzing with activity, visibly increasing in liveliness.

Many users, finding that the popular chat channel was updating too fast, switched to the posting forum provided by the Deathmatch System.

The volume of posts and replies is growing exponentially.

In a very short time, numerous hot posts have emerged, with thousands of replies.

All the page titles are about Lv Bai.

"How do you evaluate the ’Clever Murphy’ as a formidable figure?"

"I think I figured out the newcomer’s real identity, details below."

"Can someone tell me what exactly is the ’at the top of the Ability leaderboard’?"

"This post is a prophecy, directly with pictures (click to view image)."

"Am I the only one who thinks the newcomer’s momentum is not a good thing?"

"Rational discussion, just how high is ’Clever Murphy’s’ basic talent..."

...

When Lv Bai exited the leaderboard interface, he realized he might have underestimated the influence of the leaderboard after all, as he found himself at the center of attention.

He randomly picked a post claiming to know him and clicked inside.

The poster tried hard to create a profound and mysterious atmosphere, talking about deep entanglements of interests, a very complex situation, known only to the insiders...

But upon closer look, there was no substantial information, just vague content.

huangua ben: +3

Saint Tyrannicus: A reply-baiter, identified.

A randomly chosen imaginative name: Humorous, indeed some people can’t hide that foolish vibe when they speak.

dora dora dora dora: Miss you, prison stall.

Clever Murphy: Are you Fan Ding?

...

The post was full of scolding, and out of caution, Lv Bai asked a question.

Soon after he posted, a bunch of replies appeared below.

roled5211 (Original poster): Boss, I’m sorry, I was just joking.

ni miao de ta ta bi: Ding! Master Ball.

Changshu Tafi258: Why did you choose such a name, aren’t you Asian?

Flower with Defects3215: Whoa, the real one is here.

Don’t bait me, I’m a good person: lzsb.

...

Seeing the discussion gradually going off-topic, Lv Bai exited the post without replying further.

As an interface only full-fledged Death Fighters can use, the chat channel and community interface still have a lot of valuable information.

The most discussed topics are the top spot on the Ability leaderboard with a "?", and Lv Bai’s Talent ranking at the ninth position, with a whopping Talent Value of 103.8 points.

Due to trust in the Deathmatch System, no one suspected that [Load] was a bug in the Deathmatch System; they just assumed the question mark was the name of this ability.

Many users wildly speculated about various aspects in the posts stemming from the question mark, but that obviously only distanced them from the truth.

Unless Clever Murphy personally comes to explain, they won’t reach any accurate conclusion.

This is why many top-tier Death Fighters don’t waste time on this, focusing more on discussing Lv Bai’s Talent Value instead.

With a total of 103.8 points through three rounds of deathmatches.

What kind of concept is this?

If Lv Bai’s initial Talent Value was the average of a normal person at 5 points, then to reach such a high level, he’d have to take down nearly a thousand Death Fighters.

For a whole round of deathmatch, there are only five hundred Death Fighters.

Even if calculated as obtaining "Node" in every round, that would require taking down five hundred Death Fighters.

It’s an extremely exaggerated number.

At least in this era, besides Lv Bai, no one else has earned the title of "Ultimate Killing Demon."

Not to mention the "Mad Slaughter" and the never before obtained "Heaven and Earth Destruction" titles.

Those with a bit of insight are privately inquiring about who this historical-level newcomer really is, wanting to understand how this was achieved.

Lv Bai naturally had no interest in explaining, watching the Death Fighters’ fierce debates with amusement.

However, before he had much time to enjoy, a phone ringtone came from his pocket.

Lv Bai glanced at it, and the caller ID was Pu Xueli.

Although they had exchanged contact information with this principal, it was their first call.

He pressed to answer and placed the phone to his ear.

Seeming unsure of how to start, there was silence for a moment before Pu Xueli’s voice came through the other end of the line.

"...Lv Bai, the Clever Murphy on the leaderboard, is that you?"

Lv Bai instinctively nodded, quickly remembering the other couldn’t see him, then said.

"It’s me."

Pu Xueli fell silent again for a long time; after digesting the news, he solemnly reminded. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"That’s fundamentally not you."

"You’re saying that’s not me?"

"Trust me, having your identity exposed isn’t a good thing for you right now."

Pu Xueli said earnestly, "I’ll discuss more with you when you come to the campus tomorrow."

...

Pu Xueli then chatted briefly with Lv Bai and finally advised him once more to keep a low profile before hanging up.

Lv Bai casually placed the phone on the table, propping his chin with one hand, pondering while gazing at the holographic sky outside the window.

After all, his consecutive three-round first-place victories were known to many.

Meanwhile, with a "Clever Murphy" suddenly appearing high on the leaderboard, it was hard for people not to connect the two.

Though only the principal of the Ancestral Hall Campus called him, his phone was already filled with emails from various factions.

Some were probing, some were recruiting...

It seemed like all sides had friendly attitudes.

What could go wrong?
