Four Split Personalities

Chapter 2487 - 1172: Deadly Game • Prologue (V) • Afterglow of the Setting Sun_2

But she just couldn’t use it.

Because the ’Rose’ hardware doesn’t support it.

To put it simply, if the skill [Magic Control] is a set of programs stored on a hard drive, then Rose as a person is a machine without a USB interface.

It’s not just a compatibility issue between the two...

However, despite the incompatibility, the body Double Leaf is using now is not without its advantages. For example, even though the concept of ’Magic Points’ has been removed from the character panel, Double Leaf’s Strength, Constitution, and Agility attributes have doubled from her original stats. She’s not as fragile as before, and if she wants, she could even pull off breaking stones on her chest.

Not only that, but she also gained many new skills, like [Heavy Storm], [Lightning Rush], [War Aura], [Earth Crack Wave Sword], [Struggle], [Charge], which are clearly melee-focused skills.

"Shall we try?"

Double Leaf frowned, hesitatingly murmured to herself, and after a while forcefully nodded: "Let’s try it then! Just some Knight’s Technique, how could this girl not handle it?"

With that, she awkwardly drew the longsword hanging from her waist, took a deep breath, and unusually initiated [Heavy Storm] using conventional methods and her willpower.

It was a perfect spin! Very perfect!

But see the lady spinning like a top on the ground, her face turned pale green and couldn’t stop. The longsword, thrown with Phantom-like speed, raised several sharp gusts of wind, and even though it didn’t hit the intended wooden stakes, it perfectly destroyed a third of the flower bed to her right, showing its remarkable lethality.

Finally, after about ten seconds, the powerful [Heavy Storm] subsided, with Double Leaf standing solemnly with her sword, a glint of disdain flashing in her eyes, standing quietly for two minutes, and then—

"Ugh!!!"

Attempting to move her steps, she ended up falling to the ground in an embarrassingly clumsy manner. Though she wasn’t capable of throwing up anything, Double Leaf continued to dry heave in pain for quite some time, interspersed with a series of slightly quiet, yet extremely vulgar ’post-spin reflections’.

It took a full five minutes for Double Leaf to recover from the side effects of [Heavy Storm], gritting her teeth as she used the stake to pull herself back up, without a moment’s hesitation abandoning the thought of ’if this girl faced an army alone, they wouldn’t pass’.

What a ridiculous idea, given the ’great show’ she just pulled off, if she really took the lead, she’d probably die instantly in the assassination attempt.

[So, the specialization really is player-bound rather than character-bound.]

Scanning the character panel that displayed level 1 melee specialization, Double Leaf furrowed her brow, mumbling softly: "So, if I follow the exact same path as before, even if I accidentally mess up, it’s... well, better not dwell on such ominous things."

In short, after briefly sorting out her thoughts, Double Leaf quickly dispelled any impractical notions of ’personally taking action’ and began seriously contemplating her mission in this ’artificial quest’.

Since the Book Spirit’s provided ’story’ didn’t have any miraculous time ratio adjustment, she wasn’t planning to delay too long, thus preliminarily setting the action time at dinner time, when the sun sets.

To be honest, this assassination isn’t complex for Double Leaf, despite being ’new to the territory’, in this city which is practically home ground for Rose, she holds an absolute advantage.

Perhaps the assassination led by Rose Georgia in historical records wasn’t entirely smooth, as the female knight didn’t have noteworthy intelligence, but Double Leaf isn’t Rose, she’s unlikely to make an error on her home turf.

Thus, for her, the real challenge isn’t completing the task but how to achieve the highest possible rating.

The sixth level of the Restricted Book Zone opening is just a bonus, randomly increasing her Specialization Level by 1 is decent but not worth excessive effort.

The real allure lies in the Epic Tier equipment rewarding over 150% completion, which is somewhat enticing for a player, but surrounded by figures like Diana, Ta·Laxia, Kenneth, it remains ’somewhat’ enticing.

What truly excites her is the direct rank advancement from 200% completion!

The fellow with the game ID Tan Mo must be constantly watching her!

Perhaps he’s planning some sick strategy...

Perhaps he’s already started investigating her movements...

Perhaps he has already laid traps in Academy City...

Or perhaps, he goes by another identity named Frank...

Indeed, whether it’s Double Leaf or ’Tan Mo’, they consider themselves stronger strategically disdainful of the other, but they both know how dangerous it is to be targeted by opponents of this caliber.

A slight mistake could lead to eternal damnation, a truth not exclusive to Motan; it applies to Double Leaf as well.

The latter is fully aware that compared to the opponent, her greatest advantage is her overwhelming individual combat power. If in other areas they’re about evenly matched, then when it comes to strength, Double Leaf feels it’s definitely not an exaggeration to recklessly assert a nine-to-one ratio.

But this doesn’t provide Double Leaf enough security; even though she’s consistently ranking top as a T0 Level player, and believes she could blow Tan Mo away with a mere fart, it still isn’t secure enough.

Because despite the ’absolute’ disparity, there wasn’t a ’decisive’ gap.

And now, an opportunity has suddenly appeared before Double Leaf.

She must seize it, there’s no reason not to.

"Two hundred percent completion then..."

Leaning lazily against the stake, the girl squinted slightly as she murmured: "Just killing a Sang Qiao won’t be enough. Assuming the completion cap is two hundred percent, his guards all need to be eliminated as well. Furthermore, consider public opinion and the ’my’ positioning; I must strive for perfection as much as possible, tsk."

She rubbed her temples, feebly left the stake, and slowly departed from the chaotic garden, her eyes of ’Rose Georgia’ filled with some kind of spirited emotion.

...

"So, why are you here?"

Motan, who just logged in half a minute ago, smacked his lips and glanced at the slightly chubby middle-aged man opposite him across the desk, asking, "Here to help cheat?"

The Book Spirit shook his head and said calmly: "No, I just wanted to tell you that if you leave the ’story’ due to your own reasons and not my mistake, then the loss during that time will not be compensated."

"Thanks, so that woman and I are in the same ’story’ then."

Motan smiled knowingly, grinning, and asked: "Is there anything else you can reveal?"

The Book Spirit furrowed his brow and then vanished wordlessly.

Evidently, he had made a mistake, one significant enough to affect the fairness of this story.

So in the next instant, those executors who were receiving Double Leaf’s instructions had their originally uneven strength immediately boosted to the Advanced Stage Pinnacle, yet they didn’t notice any anomalous changes.

Meanwhile, Motan, who just had lunch with Yu Chen at [Enfante] and drank a coffee after logging out of the game, walked slowly to the front of the window, scrutinized the face in the glass that wasn’t his own, and showed a displeased expression.

Evidently, he wasn’t satisfied with Sang Qiao’s appearance.

"Totally uninspired~"

Grumbling such a sentence, then with full energy, he opened his task panel.
