Four Split Personalities

First of all, although The Realm of Innocence is a relatively fair game, for example, when factors such as equipment, talents, and skills are set aside, a person with a Constitution Attribute of 5 will be almost exactly the same in terms of stamina and endurance as another person with the same attribute, but even so, certain differences can still appear in practical application.

For instance, a young girl who has a habit of running morning and evening and a housebound couch potato with stunted development may have the same attributes in the game, but when it comes to actual running, it’s clear the former, who knows how to pace herself to lose weight, will definitely last longer than the latter, and this advantage cannot be reflected by data.

The vast majority of players in The Realm of Innocence must adapt to their faster speed and stronger strength, and with the system’s support, even those with poor adaptability won’t have a terrible gaming experience; simply put, the lower limit is relatively high.

But the corresponding upper limit, which is the extent of how much power can be harnessed, depends on the player themselves.

If Feather Song can utilize about ninety percent of her character’s power, while the average player in early to mid-game can only utilize sixty to eighty percent, then the character ’Tan Mo’ can exert his full power from day one under the ’Chaotic Neutral’ personality of Motan.

This is the fundamental advantage of Motan.

The second reason is that under certain circumstances, the character ’Tan Mo’ can exert far more than 100% of his power, for example, with the skill that he is quite fond of, called [Evasive Shadow Flash].

A skill that can create clones without limits, requiring management of several times the usual information, and is extremely cumbersome to control, to the point where improper use can not only fail to trouble the enemy but also impose significant harm and burdens on oneself.

West Gate Fire, who has previously fought against the character ’Mor’, possesses the skill [Shadow Shift], and in his eyes, this move is virtually useless except when showing off while crushing the opponent with superior power, and indeed, he wasn’t able to make any effective use of it.

However, Motan successfully used the advanced [Evasive Shadow Flash] which he honed through extensive practice to defeat Feather Song, securing a resounding victory despite the slight difference in paper strength between the two.

"Hmm, thinking about it this way, it doesn’t seem so strange that the sword woman is capable of such feats."

Having savored a mouthful of the visually appealing and nutritionally rich sweet soup, Motan narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, adjusted the heat again, and picked up the kitchen knife, casting his gaze onto a fresh piece of produce on the cutting board which bore a striking similarity to ham, and chuckled idiotically.

Having personally crossed swords with the Snow Bathing Sword as ’Mor’, and subsequently witnessing an exhilarating 1V50 battle from the jury’s special seat as ’Hei Fan’, he has a fairly comprehensive understanding of that white straight-haired type, and thus can notice some details that ordinary people wouldn’t be aware of.

[Firstly, regardless of other aspects, at least in terms of sheer strength, the sword woman’s level is probably just at the High-Order Pinnacle or even lower; thinking it over, her attacks are generally ’to the point’ and ’reserved’, though it may be partly due to her personality, but perhaps it also includes the factor ’it’s hard for her to simply and brutally crush the enemy’.]

With a slash, Motan chopped the ham-like item into two parts.

[Secondly, the sword woman’s skill in technique is exceptionally high, and her skills vary greatly, even including many maneuvers and footwork, which can be assumed to effectively respond to all situations with extremely low repetition and no perceivable pattern.]

Motan meticulously carved the two pieces of ham into flower and heart shapes and placed them in a rectangular metal grid, the principle of which he didn’t quite understand, but was surprisingly useful, and began to ’grill the meat’.

[Thirdly, though it’s just speculation, if the opponent’s weapon is a ’sword’, then the threat of the Snow Bathing Sword is likely to rise another level, perhaps due to some innate talent, passive skills, or simply because she is a swordsmanship master in reality, all my sword-wielding actions at the time seemed to be predicted by her, as though playing with Sun Tzu, making it impossible to fight.]

Putting on gloves, Motan removed the heated, aromatic plank from the heat, and spent about ten minutes completing the preservation of this ’additional meal’ and placed it on the low table in the center of the main hall.

[Conclusion: absolutely unbeatable, and the deadpan ranked several places above that sword woman on the leaderboard is stronger than imagined, likely could blow me to bits with just a single fart.]

Placing the written note under the meticulously arranged dinner plate, Motan clapped his hands in satisfaction, and turned toward the door.

[Heh, organizing it to this extent should be fine... after all, that white hair isn’t a problem that requires me to deal with right now~]

Dismissing the Snow Bathing Sword from his mind, Motan wore the long robe that Frank Hughes favored and left the No. 0 suite.

Then —

"Hey! Frank!"

A flashy six-pointed star eyepatch, a flashy Lolita dress, and flashy pink twin tails, a girl whose entire being was flashy but her delicate face was untouched by makeup, Ivy Lehman, suddenly jumped out.

Frank Hughes let out a wry smile that matched his character: "Hi, Miss Ivy."

Then this girl, hailing from the Leiman family known for magic eyes, entrusted by Kenneth Achiezorty to find an opportunity to kill Frank, having seen through [Hundred Forms] at first sight, and out of an inexplicable state of mind wanting to become Frank’s lover, hugged Motan’s shoulder and moved closer, attempting to nibble on his ear: "I’ve missed you so much!"

"This... is indeed an honor."

Raising his left hand to press against the girl’s forehead, Motan, somewhat helplessly, tried to peel Ivy off his arm and, after failing, sighed: "So, what are you here to do? If you’re looking for Diana or Double Leaf, they..."

Ivy Lehman, grinning, interrupted Motan and gently tapped her delicate white forefinger on his lips: "It’s precisely because I know Master Diana and Double Leaf aren’t here that I dared to sneak over to find you, Frank, or do you wish for me to express my desire to be your lover in front of Master Diana? I’d rather not, I’d definitely get killed!"

"I wouldn’t expect such a thing."

Motan shook his head with a cry-laugh, finally managing to make Ivy just casually linking arms with him instead of having her entire upper body tightly pressed against his arm, and dryly said: "Well, actually I was just planning to go out for a bit."

Ivy nodded vigorously: "Mmm, mmm, where are you planning to take me, Frank?"

"I don’t want to take you anywhere."

Walking toward the stairs leading to the lower level with resignation, Motan sincerely said to the pink twin tails leaning on his shoulder: "In fact, I need to handle some fairly important matters, so if possible, Ivy, maybe you should go back or stay here for a while and wait for Diana and the others to return..."

Ivy interrupted Motan again, a playful arc forming on her thin lips: "Not bothering you whenever there’s free time is conditional, you know."

"What condition?"

"Agree to let me be your lover~"

"Alright."

"Wow! You agreed, Frank!"

"In that case, you can come with me to handle business."

"Being so blunt, I’ll really take it to heart!"

"Then you’re not going?"

"Going!"

...

Half an hour later

Academy City, Outer Ring Area, in front of [Black Mary] Bar

"Where is this?"

Still clinging tightly to Motan’s arm, Ivy Lehman blinked her eyes, glancing around curiously like a little explorer.

"Our destination."

The former smiled slightly, casually removing his glasses, and with a raised eyebrow at the girl nestled beside him, asked: "Ready, Lady?"

"Of course, Honey~"
