Four Split Personalities

Take two simple examples, the high-tier rewards in The Realm of Innocence generally have descriptive modes; first, the straightforward ’???’, and the other is ’randomly gain XXX’.

Although both are unknowns, according to Motan’s guess, the former should belong to a fixed reward, meaning that the content under the question mark is already established and will not change regardless of who receives it.

The latter, however, is person-dependent. In this case, the item that the player who meets the reward conditions receives generally should not be too incompatible with themselves. If it is particularly ill-suited, for example, if a male player completes a task and gets in the random reward a set of [Hot Bikini] equipment solely for female players or special talents, then there are likely only two answers—either the system is messing with him, or that person is Kordo.

This is not a joke (though it is quite funny).

There are many found instances, but if we talk about the most intuitive [???] reward field, it is indeed the first official task received by the character ’Tan Mo’ after the guidance task, which was [Go to Pato City, and destroy the ’Hero’ Dave].

No need to elaborate on the specifics; the final outcome is that Motan perfectly pulled out Whisper Cultists including but not limited to Dave Sagel, and earned his first piece of high-quality equipment [Hundred Forms].

So, reasoning backward...

If [Hundred Forms] itself is the hidden reward of this task, then it is necessary to think about why this equipment is so compatible with Motan, it could almost be said it was custom-made for him.

Initially, Motan was a bit confused, but when he broke free from his inherent thought framework, everything became simple again.

To put it directly, it’s——

Although the task is fixed and the reward is fixed, ultimately, who can receive the task still depends on the system of The Realm of Innocence, so if it excludes those who have no chance of completing this task beforehand, like Kordo back then in Pato City, then the selection range is actually quite small.

Combined with the difficulty and complexity of the task, those who can successfully complete and claim the reward probably have excellent compatibility with [Hundred Forms] even if they are not the character ’Tan Mo’.

Of course, the method of brute force cannot be ruled out, for instance, if Kordo, who acquired a Rune Body, is willing, even if following no conventional rules, charges into Pato City to find the ’Hero’ named Dave and strips him on a flagpole, in some sense, would count as ’destroying’ him.

And this aptly serves as an explanation for [Talents].

Kordo, with the [Detached] talent, cannot equip anything.

So even if he gets [Hundred Forms] through such inferior acts, he cannot flexibly use it, rendering a good piece of equipment wasted.

Because of poor compatibility, it’s unusable, and the reason for the unusability lies elsewhere.

A series of seemingly unrelated matters come together in an amazingly rational way.

Ultimately, if Kordo’s luck wasn’t so bad, without those disastrous talents...

Then starting from the (Nth) character establishment would have absurdly obtained extreme power, no need for leveling, no need to do tasks, with merely routine modifications from Master Lu, could firmly hold the second place in the power rankings overlooking the entire Realm of Innocence, his very existence was already too far-fetched.

Everything interlocks, deeply thinking is terrifying.

This is the summary and conclusion that Motan comes up with after delving into this game for half a year.

As for rewards like [randomly gain XXX], they are more easily explained.

Just a while ago, the weapon [Dawn], which was obtained when he played as ’Mor’, that could freely switch to various forms, although its leveling requirements are ridiculously harsh, even a fool could see its worthiness, is almost precisely tailored for Mor.

Only Motan, who already had a diverse battle style and could absorb experience from two other characters, could handle [Dawn] and possibly achieve breaking the thresholds of ’experience points’ accumulation across at least five forms.

Moreover——

If claiming to be [Soul Binding], then, like ’Mor’, it could also be said that ’Motan’, ’Tan Mo’, and ’Black Vatican’ could apply that Weapon?

It’s indeed quite thought-provoking.

In summary, based on the above possibilities, Motan thinks the person who Double Leaf called ’Silly No. 1’, the one who rampaged across the stage of the Violet Empire’s internal chaos leaving no traces as if they never existed, couldn’t possibly be Silly.

Kordo cannot obtain [Hundred Forms], and even if he did, definitely couldn’t use it properly.

[Then, hypothetically, if that person possesses something even more useful than [Hundred Forms], not only appearance but also race, gender, body type, even equipment can be changed... let’s call it [Pervert]. If the other party truly has the qualifications to obtain a [Pervert], then they cannot possibly be a Silly.]

Confronted with a difficulty akin to a kindergarten-level problem, Motan effortlessly came up with the answer.

So...

That person owns a [Pervert], with capabilities vastly surpassing [Hundred Forms], able to easily portray any role without leaving a trace, proven back when they almost sent ’Tan Mo’ to recreate a character in the Violet Empire, escaping from Laisa and Double Leaf’s combined siege, later participating in the final campaign of the Violet Empire’s internal turmoil, their combat prowess undoubtedly high.

Of course, only ’not low’ at most.

For Motan, who always planned to get rid of a certain top ranker, combat prowess is naturally the easiest issue to deal with.

After all, this is Academy City, long prepared by Motan as his ’hunting ground’, at least for now, he still holds many cards in hand.

But the problem is, despite having many cards, the other party plays a different game altogether.

Take a not entirely appropriate example, like Motan holding four 2s and two kings, preparing to fool Double Leaf sitting across the table, when suddenly someone next to them calls ’snap’ and slaps down their hand—Unparalleled National Hero with thirteen sides.

Goddamn Unparalleled National Hero with thirteen sides!

Undeniably, this move genuinely startled Motan.

Yet he must continue playing, facing limited chips, playing poker with Double Leaf on one side, and Mahjong with another under self-revealed cards.

The situation couldn’t be more passive...

Among which, the most crucial issue is, how much does the opponent understand about ’himself’.

Setting aside those trivial issues, the most giving Motan a hard time... even slightly filled with fear is the intelligence the opponent holds.

The planner was Cole Shuren, Tan Mo’s underling with numerous aliases including ’Frank Hughes’.

The one needing disguise was Mor, who just won the comprehensive Knight Martial Arts Championships team competition, closely tied with the Diesel Family, comparing as a player, adventurer, and Night Song website friend.

The actor was the least noticeable in the Holy Church Union delegation, a Black Vatican Priest, the real-life friend of Morning Forgotten Language and Night Song.

To perfectly blend into rhythm under such circumstances without letting anyone notice, including Motan himself...

What on earth does that person know?

To what extent does they understand Black Vatican, Tan Mo, and Mor?

How should this round be solved?

How should this net be woven?

Motan chuckled dryly, suddenly drew Diana into his arms, hugging her tightly——

"Sleep."

He said so, quickly abandoning any further thoughts.
