Four Split Personalities

Even if there are some minor flaws, the completion rate is absolutely impossible to be less than 190%!

"Unless..."

She squinted her eyes, completely ignoring Frank, who had regained consciousness half a minute later and was smiling and greeting in this fog-filled space, and whispered, "I made some fatal mistakes."

Like Double Leaf, Motan, who had also regained consciousness and heard the system notification, blinked curiously and asked, "Fatal what?"

"Mistakes."

Double Leaf glared at Motan irritably and said dryly, "How’s it going on your end, did you fail the task? What’s the completion rate?"

"What completion rate?"

Motan looked at Double Leaf with a bewildered face, then hesitated and said, "If you’re talking about the ’target’ that Mr. Book Spirit told me, I should have completed it."

[If the object is an NPC, will that Book Spirit tell the specific requirements face to face? Tsk, that thing definitely knows that players like me can directly receive tasks from the system, so it didn’t even show up at all.]

Double Leaf frowned, just about to continue asking something, when she saw the Book Spirit, who had always appeared in the form of a slightly chubby middle-aged man, slowly walk out of the mist with a smile to the two of them: "Congratulations, Lady Shuangye, Mr. Frank, you have shown me a very exciting story. The door to the sixth layer of the Forbidden Book Zone has opened for you, of course, it’s the mirrored sixth layer that I recreated."

Motan immediately bowed to the Book Spirit with a smile: "Thank you for your generosity."

"What does mirror mean?"

Double Leaf pouted discontentedly, furrowing her brows, "That’s not what you said at the beginning."

"I’ve always said from the beginning that I do not have the authority to interfere with the library’s operations, and naturally, I couldn’t grant you extra access permissions."

The Book Spirit looked calmly at Double Leaf and said slowly, "So I have no way of taking you to the real ’sixth layer,’ it’s just that..."

"It’s just that with your derivative understanding of this library, it’s not difficult to replicate an identical sixth layer of the Forbidden Book Zone."

Double Leaf’s discontent came and went quickly, lightly laughing and teasing, "You seem pretty practiced at exploiting your loopholes."

The Book Spirit shook his head and said blandly, "I’m just sharing the knowledge I know with ’friends.’"

"Friends?"

Double Leaf whistled lightly, dragging the tone slowly, "Oh, what virtues and abilities~"

"Interacting with you two brings me joy, and my knowledge will equally be helpful to you."

The Book Spirit gave a meticulous answer, his expression flat as he said, "Therefore, I am willing to unilaterally define you as ’friends.’"

"Alright, my friend."

Double Leaf smacked her lips and raised an eyebrow, "So, I wonder if you might be willing to answer a few questions I have regarding that Inherent Barrier just now."

Motan also rarely found the chance to interject, "I’ve got some things I’d like to know too."

The Tower Spirit nodded slightly, "Go ahead."

Double Leaf and Motan exchanged a glance, and half a second later, the latter perceptively stepped back: "You first."

"Thank you."

Double Leaf thanked casually, then returned her gaze to the Book Spirit whose expression was as calm as still water, "Is it because you guessed that ’someone like me’ would get some kind of ’insight,’ so you didn’t give me a ’target’ like you told Frank?"

The Book Spirit nodded without hesitation, "Yes, however, I also didn’t have enough certainty initially, but after seeing your actions, Lady Shuangye, the conclusion was obvious. To be honest, it was a pleasant surprise for me."

Double Leaf nodded, continuing to ask, "So does that mean, while you don’t know what kind of ’insight’ I got at all, it coincidentally aligned with your thoughts? Just like the ’target’ you gave Frank?"

"You could say that."

The Book Spirit continued to nod mechanically.

"Very well, on to the next question."

Double Leaf didn’t dwell too long on the task and casually changed the topic, "If I’m not mistaken, you should be able to see all my actions in the Inherent Barrier quite clearly, right?"

"Yes."

"So, how was my performance?"

"Admirable, very excellent."

"What’s your definition of excellent?"

"To perform better than ’Historical Rose Georgia’ under known limitations and personal constraints, that is excellent."

"I see."

Double Leaf used light attribute magic to simulate a flash on her glasses, then snapped her fingers crisply, "If the achievements of ’Historical Rose Georgia’ are considered 100 points, with a full score being 200, in your eyes as the Book Spirit, how many points would I, being very excellent, score?"

The Book Spirit didn’t give an immediate answer this time. After about two minutes of silence, he quietly replied, "Although this is just a subjective opinion, and it’s not something simply expressed in numbers, if Lady Shuangye insists on knowing my opinion..."

"I insist."

Double Leaf nodded immediately.

"A hundred and twenty-five points, perhaps slightly higher, but not exceeding one hundred and thirty."

Double Leaf’s pupils contracted suddenly, then quickly forced herself to calm down, clenching her fists and saying in a deep voice, "So, what’s the threshold for ’excellent’? How many points?"

"It’s one hundred and twenty-five points."

The Book Spirit’s answer did not surprise Double Leaf.

"Very well... very well..."

The girl took a deep breath, her eyes intensely focused on the Book Spirit, "Tell me, where do those extra twenty points that I have over historical Rose come from?"

Far more knowledgeable about the storyline than Motan, the Book Spirit immediately answered, "The real Rose Georgia did not manage to completely eliminate Sang Qiao’s guard, key future figure of Glittering City Baghdad Alphonse even successfully escaped back to Glittering City. Moreover, although the Rose of the past also succeeded in killing ’Sang Qiao,’ it was at quite a cost, while you, Miss Futaba, managed to avoid all this, achieving your goal at a minimal cost, objectively perfectly meeting Angus Georgia’s ideal outcome."

The Book Spirit’s praise was very sincere, and based on its consistent behavior, it likely included no exaggeration, meaning its value was quite significant.

But Double Leaf, whose expression turned increasingly stern, was still not happy and seemed even more annoyed.

"Very good, very good."

Double Leaf hummed, gritting her teeth and saying, "Then here comes the problem, since I outperformed that historical fool by so much, why only a measly one hundred and twenty-something points! Where did the other seventy points go?!"

The Book Spirit uncharacteristically shrugged very humanly, "Because neither the historical Rose Georgia nor the Rose Georgia you played a moment ago killed the real Young City Lord of Glittering City, Sang Qiao, but a stand-in."

Double Leaf’s face went stiff, "Stand-in!?"

"Yes, a stand-in."

The Book Spirit nodded slightly, saying bluntly, "It was a young guard who had a very similar appearance, body shape, and age as Sang Qiao. If nothing unexpected happened, it should have been a stand-in arranged long ago by the old City Lord of Glittering City for his own son, and both you and the historical Rose Georgia killed that person. The difference is, you, Lady Shuangye, did it more confidently, while the real Rose Georgia struggled painstakingly to..."

"Where is the real Sang Qiao!"

Double Leaf rudely interrupted the Book Spirit, clenching her teeth and asking, "The Sang Qiao who escaped my chase, who miraculously managed to escape, and played me for a fool, where on earth is he!"

"This question..."

The Book Spirit blinked, then turned to look at someone, who had been silent since the conversation began—

"Why not directly ask this ’Sang Qiao’ himself?"
