Four Split Personalities

Game Time AM10:49

’Great job, Eagle Eye Team One has left a lot of marks along the way. From now on, just follow the route I’ve prepared for you. Remember to maintain the current speed, neither faster nor slower.’

Motan issued one final instruction to Yu Chen, then turned off the myriad of dialogue boxes cluttering his vision and turned to Luna with a smile, "Thanks for your hard work. I might need to sleep for a few minutes..."

He violently spat out a mouthful of blood, his Health Points instantly dropped to 3%, and then darkness overtook him as he lost consciousness.

"Ho~ quite thrilling..."

"Hehe, this kind of operation that advances one’s Talents on the fly and can accurately describe the situation is not something those so-called programmers can handle. Your game has too much data. It’s impossible for humans to ensure that every player is attended to immediately in emergency situations, which is why I’ve had a theory for a long time. Whether it’s assigning factions to each person, adding new Talents to players in certain situations, or those comments that clearly can’t be planned in advance, are these really the works of code monkeys... sorry, I mean coders?"

"I’ll just cut to the chase, dear System-chan. You’re not as inflexible and devoid of sensation as you seem to be, right? Look at those comments for Skills, equipment, and items. Maybe being reserved is in your nature?"

[You have been emergency disconnected, please choose whether to reconnect?]

"Why the rush? If you were really just ordinary programming, why did you threaten me with ’about to go offline’ after a few prompts when I wanted to chat more last time, but now you tirelessly repeat the same sentence?"

[You have been emergency disconnected, please choose whether to reconnect?]

"I’m really curious what role you’re playing in this game... no, in this world. Haha, just don’t tell me it’s something boring like an intelligent administrator or programmer."

[You have been emergency disconnected, please choose whether to reconnect?]

"Being monitored? Unspeakable secrets? Ridiculous, robot-like Three Laws of Robotics? Are you refusing to communicate with me, or are you trying to convey something? Without a hint, even I can’t guess~"

[You have been emergency disconnected, please choose whether to reconnect?]

"How about we play a game? If you don’t want to chat with me, just kick me offline. If there’s something you want to say but can’t, then help me reconnect. How about that, considerate or touching?"

[You have been emergency disconnected, please choose whether to reconnect?]

"Tsk, watertight as ever... But then again, this level of covert signaling is indeed a bit crude. Well, that’s all for today. Thanks for chatting with me for so long, System-chan. Eh, maybe Repeater-chan is a better name? Anyway, there’s no way I’d be impressed by this. Turning a cute AI into a rough guy is just a waste."

"Reconnect then. I’ve still got plenty of time~"

[Welcome back, Tan Mo the Chaotic Neutral, about to enter The Realm of Innocence, good night to you]

Violet Empire, the capital Salamoon, Luminous Pavilion Diamond 17

Motan regained consciousness from a dazed state and immediately upon opening his eyes, he saw the Bloodseeker Baroness Laisa Cavos, wearing a sheer black nightgown, curled up and sound asleep beside him.

Considering she was covered with a blanket and did not present any kind of fanservice one might hope for, and since players can’t perform the unscrupulous act of flipping the blankets off a female NPC, Motan behaved very properly... He gently exhaled near Laisa’s ear.

The sleeping lady Bloodseeker furrowed her brow, subconsciously turned over, causing the thin blanket to unavoidably slide off to one side.

So, Motan casually covered Laisa with the blanket and then opened his own character panel.

For some reason, even though daylight indeed tends to induce lethargy in most Bloodseekers, Laisa shouldn’t have been unaware of Motan’s "awakening" without any disguise, especially after he blew into her ear, there was even less reason for her not to be awakened...

However, this keenly perceptive Bloodseeker didn’t wake up, in fact, she even nuzzled her head into Motan’s arm a couple of times.

This can’t simply be explained by affection, dependence, or trust. Perhaps the long-missed sense of security did play a part, but Motan felt that the more important reason might be due to the Bloodseeker’s Emblem, of course, he had no evidence for this, it was just a random guess, since such things were not important...

[Premonition]

Growable passive Talent

Effect: In ??? situations, strong premonitions arise, and you gain an extra 25 seconds.

[Note: Don’t mind it, after all, no one in this world is truly their own master.]

"Although every character has this Talent, it doesn’t grow at the same time, does it..."

Motan smacked his lips, looking at his unchanging Talent, feeling somewhat pleased. The reason was simple; he thought that the Talent "Sage’s Foresight" wasn’t very suitable for him at the moment. If it had been just copied from Hei Fan’s Talent list, it would have been quite boring.
