Four Split Personalities

Ji Xiaoge fell silent because she suddenly realized that her dad, who spent his days being idle and whose greatest hobby was mooching food and drinks at relatives’ and friends’ houses, and lurking outside schools at night to ambush and knock out guys pursuing her, might not actually be a great person.

"Oh no, Xiaodao."

Ji Xiaoge’s expression suddenly drooped, and she mumbled with a pouty face, "It was fine until you said that; now that you’ve mentioned it, the image of Dad in my mind is completely shattered!"

Involuntarily recalling her old man’s face that wasn’t exactly ugly but was just lazy and idle, Ji Xiaodao couldn’t help but smile: "Sister, you didn’t always think Dad was Superman, did you?"

"Dad said he saved the world."

Ji Xiaoge pouted, muttering with little confidence.

"Yes, yes, yes~"

Ji Xiaodao nodded seriously, covering her mouth with a giggle: "He’s saved several versions of the world, from chasing away the Sneeze Demon Monster to fighting the Square Dance Aliens in outer space, at least dozens of times altogether, if not a hundred."

Ji Xiaoge looked disillusioned: "So Dad didn’t actually subdue the Sneeze Demon Monster in the alley next to our old house using the Shima jar, nor blow up the flagship of the Square Dance Aliens with their anti-matter weapons, nor does he have the stage name ’Lady Warrior of Justice · Black Tuxedo Mask’?"

"Sister..."

Ji Xiaodao twitched the corner of her mouth and said earnestly, "I feel like our conversation is slipping back to a kindergarten level."

"Sigh!"

Ji Xiaoge sighed heavily and said with great grievance, "Alright, enough joking, Xiaodao, do you think my cooking skills are still salvageable?"

"..."

"Xiaodao?"

"Sister, how about we talk about the Black Tuxedo Mask instead."

"Bullying!"

Ji Xiaoge began to get angry, pouting, "Bad Xiaodao, bullying me!"

The exhausted younger sister covered her forehead, speaking earnestly, "Sister, you have to face reality."

"Hmm..."

Ji Xiaoge pursed her lips, a cunning glint flashing in her eyes, and then mumbled thoughtfully, "Hmm, you’re right, after all, I’m a big girl now, I’ll need to marry eventually. If I stubbornly challenge the impossible, I feel it would be unfair to my future in-laws!"

In the next moment, the warmth brought by the scorching summer was swept away, an icy murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the girl wearing a black nightdress, tied with a pink apron. Her cherry lips parted slightly, exhaling a scent of orchid, and she let out a lazy, indifferent, slightly rising, murderous "Huh?"

"Hmm?"

Ji Xiaoge blinked innocently with wide, bright eyes: "Did I say something wrong?"

"Of course you did, sister."

Ji Xiaodao narrowed her eyes slightly, saying calmly, "To win a man’s heart, you must first conquer his stomach. Of course, this includes the stomachs of your future in-laws you mentioned..."

Ji Xiaoge immediately showed a mischievous smile, squirming as she said, "But I don’t have a boyfriend yet!"

"No worries, to avoid panic then, you can start by practicing with love bento boxes, sister."

Ji Xiaodao took a deep breath, then added slowly, "But as for practicing, I won’t eat any."

Clearly, she had seen through her sister’s plan, but she preferred to prioritize how to conquer... uh, how to conquer the stomachs of Ji Xiaoge’s future husband and his family over such trivial matters.

"Why not!"

"Family is exempt from disaster."

"Xiaodao, you just said you wanted to conquer my in-laws’ stomachs!"

"Family is exempt from disaster."

"I’m so sad!"

Ji Xiaoge was on the verge of tears.

"It’s okay, sister, I’ll be there to help you."

Given that we have a complete legal system, Ji Xiaodao ultimately did not plan to leave her sister alone to independently develop love bentos, as not everyone has as much resilience as their dad.

"Alright, alright, let’s stop messing around. But I saw an easy-to-make snack recipe in a magazine a few days ago; how about I make it for you to try, sister!"

"..."

"Xiaodao, you can supervise and teach me all the way, right! Let’s strictly follow the recipe!"

"..."

"Is that~ alright~?"

"..."

"Teach~ teach~ me~ sister~"

"Sister, you must... do as I say."

"Okay! Master Xiaodao!"

"Oh yeah, oh yeah, Xiaodao, did you know! Today, I’m meeting online with Wang Yu, Motan, and the others!"

"Huh?"

"Yeah! It’s rare for us to gather in the game, so we’re planning to meet up in Academy City!"

"Just the three of you?"

"Uh..."

"Hmm?"

"Actually..."

...

Real-time AM11:47

City B, De Xing District, Motan’s apartment

"Although I knew it wouldn’t end easily, this feeling is really too bad."

Having sat on the couch all morning, though he had gone downstairs to feed the cat, Motan hadn’t eaten breakfast, gone for a morning run, or even washed up. He mumbled with a weary look, looking unusually exhausted.

Physically, there was no issue, but at this moment, mentally, he was under immense pressure,

The reason is simple, just recently Motan said goodbye to the Love to Gossip Team in the game and was walking to the Lin Yin Inn... when suddenly, without warning, he blacked out.

Even though he wasn’t in touch with Wang Badan at the time, and the surroundings were deserted enough that the character ’Mor’ would likely disappear in the Realm of Innocence, the fact that he blacked out itself made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

There are too many reasons, so there’s really no need to elaborate.

In short, this feeling of being completely unable to control himself and deeply unsettled was something every version of Motan strongly resisted.

But all he could do was resist...

Although Motan could be considered someone very good at solving problems (in a way, also very good at creating problems), in the past half year, he still hadn’t found a way to improve his ’blackout’ issue, just as he couldn’t cure his atypical personality disorder.

Throughout the morning, he had passively switched personalities twice, but whether it was finding out after exiting the pod that the time had inexplicably turned to seven, in a bewildered ’Orderly Good’ state, feeding the cat then zoning out on the couch for a beauty nap in a ’Chaotic Neutral’ state, or awakening with a start and remaining in an ’Absolute Neutrality’ personality till now, none had the least bit of motivation to resolve the issue.

If it could be solved, it would have been solved long ago.

If it’s dragged on until now, it’s naturally because there’s no way to solve it.

But being unsolvable doesn’t mean he isn’t worried...

Even with no evidence, Motan kept feeling that this blackout likely wasn’t some last hurrah, so barring any accidents, starting today, he’d probably face still frequent unstable blackouts again every day.

Fyari’s business...

Diana’s schemes...

Visit plans for Dabus...

Socializing with the Diesel Family...

Hei Fan and Yu Chen’s daily issues...

Preparing the surprise for Double Leaf...

All these things that were always risky and unstable blackouts definitely added fuel to the fire, mercilessly forcing him into a corner.

And of course, the most important—

’Falalalala~falalalala~♪’

Just then, a lively ringtone sounded from his pocket; Motan sighed deeply, taking out his phone and looking down. An odd expression appeared on his face. It took several seconds before he swiped the answer button: "Hello? Is this Xiaodao?"

"Yes, I hope you’re not too disappointed."

Ji Xiaodao’s slightly trembling voice came through, continuing after a brief pause: "Is it okay to talk now?"

"Mm, it’s okay for now."

"Good, I heard... um... you and my sister are going to... uh! Meet... meet in-game tonight."

"Uh, Xiaodao, are you alright?"

"I’m fine, just quickly tell me, are you meeting?"

"Yes, it’s indeed planned, ah! But Yu Chen is also there, so don’t over..."

"I didn’t overthink, actually I just wanted you to keep an eye on another person."

"What do you mean?"

"Uh!"

"Are you alright! Sounds like something’s wrong! What happened..."

"Sweet..."

"Sweet?"

"Sweet... desserts."

"Desserts?!"

"Yes, desserts."
