Four Split Personalities

"Eh eh, what happened next?"

Ji Xiaoge, upon hearing there was juicy gossip, immediately lit up.

"Then my mom just clung to him and even drugged his drink to have a chance to take care of him before they dated."

"So romantic!!"

"Is it romantic?"

Finally overcoming his dizziness, Motan propped himself up and sat, looking at Ji Xiaoge with a weird expression, "Do you perhaps have a misunderstanding about romance?"

"Love you sick~ No medicine can heal~ The disease is called love~ The cause is you~ Poisoning, beating, stabbing, pouncing, slashing, shooting, strangling, burning, cursing—it’s all love!"

Ji Xiaoge swayed his head slightly and softly hummed a few lines, his eyes gleaming as he said, "Yandere is really so lovely!"

[Yandere is really so terrifying...]

Motan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and took the opportunity to feed the frozen salted fish he was holding to Anthony beside him, who had just woken up and was mumbling about hunger. He gave a dry laugh and dared not continue the topic.

Dabus, Jadka, and Darian all watched this energetic winged girl quite fearfully, making the scene quite awkward for a moment.

"Hey! I was just saying it!"

Seeing everyone giving her strange looks, Ji Xiaoge immediately wrinkled her nose and defensively explained, "Liking yandere doesn’t mean I’m a yandere myself! I was cut from the solar brightness survey back in the day because I was too cheerful!"

Motan scratched the scales on his neck, puzzled, "Cut from what?"

"During high school’s New Year’s performance, a mini stage drama..."

Ji Xiaoge pouted resentfully and grumbled, "The class teacher forced us to come up with a unique act, but no one had any ideas. Eventually, using the class funds, we opened a reward of two hundred yuan online and gathered an amazing script. It’s about a girl who wipes out half the school for her childhood friend, and there’s a huge plot twist at the end, super sweet and healing! I really wanted to play the female lead, but was eliminated due to frequent laughing and unfit temperament."

The expression on Motan’s face suddenly twisted.

"So what happened next?"

Hearing that it was about school affairs, Dabus asked eagerly.

"Then everyone nominated my sister, saying her temperament perfectly matched that morbid beauty."

Although Ji Xiaoge still looked indignant, pride unique to all sister-con fans shone in her eyes as her voice uncontrollably rose, "Although she accepted it reluctantly, my sister is a fabulous actress. She scared the vice principal into a heart attack on the day of the performance!"

Dabus: "..."

Jadka, Darian, Ya Ya: "???"

Anthony: "Still want... to eat."

As for Motan...

[It turns out the first legal side money I earned in my poorest days came from your class funds!]

He howled internally, completely resigned—because it was his script that had been selected online back then, under his current personality.

It should be noted that, though typically Mortan under this current personality was an extremely upright and exemplary young man, he was still quite creatively gifted. If it was purely an artistic piece, even his orderly good self could churn out some dark-themed stuff, and due to some bizarre contrasts, the quality was usually not bad; it often left people feeling healed rather than the typical darkness-themed response of, "Damn, that’s depressing."

So, to put it simply, there was a time when Mortan was particularly poor for certain reasons, to the extent that even having plain broth noodles was a struggle. When it came to earning money, the other two personalities—one liked using straightforward methods to accumulate wealth, the other could only think of ideas like "maybe get a part-time job"—seemed unreliable in the eyes of the current Motan.

After all, straightforward wealth accumulation usually had legal ramifications, and as he was still underage and nobody would hire him, he spent all his available time thinking of various ways to avoid financial interactions with friends, to prevent things from getting out of control. Mortan managed to rush out a positively charged story with educational value just as an evil extortion plan was about to be finalized, earning him enough for his meals for the next month (he ate breakfast and lunch at school, and Yi Dong always got extra-large portions).

Unexpectedly, the class that had opened the bounty at the time turned out to be Ji Xiaoge’s, with Ji Xiaodao playing the main role, which just...

[That’s absolutely fantastic—Xiaodao’s temperament is just perfect for ’Xiaomie’!]

Motan clenched his fist excitedly and muttered under his breath, "I really want to see it live!"

"What?"

Ji Xiaoge, who had excellent hearing, glanced at him curiously.

"Ah, I mean, if I have the chance, I’d really love to see it."

Motan smiled sincerely without pretense.

Ji Xiaoge blinked her eyes and whispered, "Send me your email address later, and I’ll send it to you. My dad sneaked into the banquet that day and recorded the whole thing. Our class was the second act."

"Thank you!"

"Do you want my photos from real life?"

"Uh?"

"Just kidding."

Ji Xiaoge stuck out her tongue, then took a long, leisurely sigh, "When I’m no longer holding anyone back, I’ll come find you guys."

Motan shrugged and shook his head, "You were never holding us back."

"Stop messing around, in that battle with Viper, I didn’t contribute much..."

"You took down one of their guys by yourself."

"That doesn’t count! I mean real ’strength’!"

Ji Xiaoge made a face and seriously said, "I took this game... this world too lightly before, so I really need to put in a good effort this time."

Meanwhile, the curiosity of Dabus, who was teaching Ya Ya and Dabus to speak Common, was satisfied. Jadka and Darian were quietly discussing topics such as "Which academy is Miss Yege from?", "What is the Round Egg Banquet?", and "Her sister almost scared someone to death."

About half an hour later, everyone left the Third Training Ground of the Twin Lions Fortress, also known as the Third School Ground, and set off together to the main hall for dinner, which was also a farewell meal for Ji Xiaoge.

She planned to leave Caselo Prairie today and part ways with Motan and the others, returning to Sky Pillar Mountain first to resume her formal study of "Battlefield Engineering" with Luwei.

Although Motan and others didn’t think she was dragging the team down, Ji Xiaoge, who had pondered for a long while, had made up her mind. Despite still wanting to adventure with a few friends and follow the original plan to do tasks at the Anka Market Adventurer’s Guild for a while before traveling to various places, the previous battle with the executives of the Viper Chamber of Commerce had changed the young girl’s mind.

Although the outcome last time was barely alright, the fact that Ya Ya, Jadka, and others were seriously injured was indisputable. With her dismal strength, if there were a next time, would she be a burden? Would she cause needless sacrifices? Would her friends die protecting her?

Even if Mor and Dabus are players, what about the others?

Ji Xiaoge no longer saw Jadka, Ya Ya, and Anthony as just data.

The Innocent Continent isn’t the Real World; although there is order, it’s still too unsafe in comparison.

Mor and the others could enhance their strengths during adventures and tasks, but she couldn’t.

[If someone with no combat talents like me, who has only made some achievements in ’Battlefield Engineering,’ wants to enhance my strength, then the only and best method is to return and learn from Teacher Luwei.]

[Even if... I have to use my favorite cuisine as a weapon, I don’t want to be a burden!]

After days of contemplation, Ji Xiaoge reached this conclusion.

Thus, once Ya Ya’s injuries had mostly healed and he was able to hop around lightly, she shared her thoughts with everyone.

For now, she would say goodbye for a while, and after she had grown a bit, she would come find them again.
