Four Split Personalities

Steam Consortium.

Even Double Leaf, who seemed to be somewhat naive compared to Frank Hughes, was not at all unfamiliar with this name.

If you randomly ask a native NPC from The Realm of Innocence about who is the most powerful person in this world or the one with the most strength or the wisest person, you might receive an endless variety of answers. It’s like the ill-fated Hamlet, different in every person’s eyes.

Take wisdom as an example. Everyone has their own definition of it. Some believe that being able to lead an army to victory is wisdom, some think writing a groundbreaking paper is wisdom, and some think juggling three girlfriends without them finding out is great wisdom.

Different opinions naturally lead to different answers.

Even if the views are the same, people’s preferences vary.

Since we can’t say anyone is wrong, these questions mostly don’t have a correct answer.

As for authority... the system is pretty authoritative, right? At that time, Tan Mo, who was not an individual powerhouse and had no chance of being on the leaderboard, managed to kill Cordova, who was number two on the leaderboard. Can we say it was the system’s fault?

No, we can only say Cordova was unlucky.

But is ’luck’ part of opportunity?

If not, then Cordova is firmly number two.

If so, his ranking might drop to... around four hundred thousand.

In any case, no one can make this clear.

But... the areas with less dispute do exist.

Yes, in the field of wealth, no matter how many people are asked about it, there are basically only two answers—

[Gold Coin Commerce Association].

[Steam Consortium].

Phyllis Graham often complained to Motan, saying that when people mention money or wealth, the first thing that comes to mind isn’t the Wealth Goddess or the Wealth sect that believes in the Wealth Goddess, but two organizations filled with worldliness and the smell of copper.

Admittedly, Phyllis doesn’t deny that the Wealth sect also has a strong smell of copper, but she insists that her sect is definitely extraordinary, outstanding, not worldly at all, and free from low tastes.

But unfortunately, no matter what, the presence of the Wealth sect in the ’field of wealth’ is not low, but still can’t compare to those two terrifying behemoths.

The presidents of successive Gold Coin Commerce Associations and CEOs of the Steam Consortium are perceived to be far wealthier than the Popes of the Wealth sect of the same era.

In fact... that’s exactly the case.

Their power extends across the entire Innocent Continent, active in various countries and fields. Today, the savings certificates of the Gold Coin Commerce Association and the mobile accounts of the Steam Consortium are already widespread and are deemed ’hard currency’ even among the Sea Tribe who always hold hostility against land creatures.

In summary, although the presidents of successive Gold Coin Commerce Associations and CEOs of the Steam Consortium are honorary Chief Priests of the Wealth Church, the influence of these two organizations far exceeds that of the Wealth Church, which does not rank very high even within the Holy Church Union.

So, even if Double Leaf, who has rarely dined out, does not know what a Steam Fish Pot is, she is not at all unfamiliar with the colossal entity that is the Steam Consortium.

"You sure know quite a lot,"

Double Leaf squatted by the first-generation fish pot, inspecting it carefully, and asked slowly, "So, is this pot worth a lot?"

Motan shrugged, shaking his head, and said, "It’s more of a sentimental value, but its actual worth is... quite low."

The girl’s eyes sparkled as she stared at the pot and continued asking, "So exactly how low is it?"

"I can only say..."

Motan touched the tip of his nose, smiling wryly, "Double Leaf, instead of going through the trouble of taking this thing out to find a way to sell it, it would be more worthwhile to make a Magic Scroll and sell it."

Upon hearing this, the girl’s face immediately fell, and she stood up with little enthusiasm, pouting and saying, "Tsk, so sentiment isn’t worth much these days... eh!"

"Huh!?"

Motan shivered at the girl’s exclamation, taking a cautious half-step back, "What is it?"

"Isn’t there a door here?"

Double Leaf raised her small hand, pointing to a spot not far behind Motan. When he turned to look, there indeed stood an ancient wooden door, rich with charm.

But this wooden door did not feel out of place to him; after all, even in the forbidden section, there were many independent rooms like reading rooms, research rooms, and data rooms. In fact, similar places he had already explored quite a lot with Double Leaf just now, so he didn’t find anything amiss.

But Double Leaf obviously thought differently—

"Clearly, there is indeed a door here now."

Double Leaf didn’t give Motan a chance to speak, slowly standing up and saying softly, "But there wasn’t one before."

Motan’s eyes widened in an instant, and after a brief hesitation, he nodded slightly, "It seems that’s true."

Despite the number of rooms on this floor being denser than both the previous floors combined, with at least ten that they both inspected, thanks to Double Leaf’s reminder, Motan indeed recalled that when he passed that wall a while ago, there seemed...
