Four Split Personalities

Chapter 2496 - 1177: Deadly Game • Beginning (X)

Mu You, nineteen years old, an adult woman looking for work, suffers from severe social anxiety, currently living in ███. Her main hobby is tinkering with electronic equipment, including but not limited to computers. Her height, including her ahoge, is one hundred and fifty-one centimeters, weight forty-one kilograms, and she has no romantic experience but possesses quite a rich theoretical knowledge of gender relations. In a virtual data matrix, she has around 17.8T of non-all-age-oriented cartoon works, both in quantity and quality far above the industry’s average standards.

Main achievements: One of the founders and core members of ’Black Sun’/Independently wrote the main program for the intelligent AI[NAVI]/steadily ranked in the top twenty of personal combat power rankings in the most marketable and promising spiritual virtual game[The Realm of Innocence]/set a record of not leaving her house for consecutive ninety-three days.

Overall, including that nearly irremediable social anxiety and her shut-in attributes, this girl in every sense can be considered to have ’extraordinary talent’.

And in most cases, such eccentric geniuses find it very difficult to make friends. It’s okay for those comrades of the Orderly side, but a recluse like Double Leaf, who leans extremely towards the chaotic side, truly struggles to make achievements in the social domain.

Of course, if she hides behind some closely guarded ’alias’, then Double Leaf ’online’ is not only easy to communicate with, but can even be described as having significant social skills, which she has long proven in The Realm of Innocence.

Due to her innate affinity with ’data’, Double Leaf not only avoids being reclusive in front of NPCs but also exhibits quite an aggressive personality.

As for players, while Double Leaf doesn’t really want to interact, she merely doesn’t want to interact. After all, no matter how real The Realm of Innocence feels, it’s still within the domain of ’online’, naturally without any communication obstacles.

But the absence of communication obstacles aside, even if she seems like a different person compared to Mu You in the Real World, Double Leaf still can’t be described as easy to get along with. In fact, compared to that girl who hesitates even to open the door for food deliveries outside the game, this uninhibitedly expressive beautiful girl mage within The Realm of Innocence might be even harder to get along with.

In reality, Mu You has no one she can call ’friends’. By contrast, Motan, whose true nature is even more unconventional than Double Leaf’s, at least has Yi Dong, a multi-functional friend acting as a childhood friend, close confidant, best buddy, wingman, and tool. Casual acquaintances of this level are simply too numerous to mention.

And since joining The Realm of Innocence, Motan has gained more friends such as Yu Chen, Wanyang, the Ji Family sisters, Kanglan, and actually... Cui Xiaoyu. In the NPC social circle, it’s undeniably expansive. Even if you only consider the character ’Tan Mo’, he is surrounded by intimate and trustworthy individuals like Cole, Little Ai, Laisa, and Diana, sharing an unpleasant camaraderie with the Violet Prince Regent.

As for Double Leaf, who similarly expanded her social circle through The Realm of Innocence...

Ana Ta Lasha and Diana are considered her mentors.

Mist Moon Sage Kenneth of the Council of Truth is considered a fool.

Hei Fan, a fellow player, is considered a decent online friend.

Fenrir Team members are undoubtedly friends, but soon became part of the past.

In reality, having maneuvered through many years of scheming, recently encountering ’the person himself’ in the game, Tan Mo is an opponent, a rival.

Looking back, there’s still nobody who can completely fall into the concept of ’friend’.

It’s not that Double Leaf doesn’t consider the likes of Hei Fan as friends, but in her eyes, the latter actually lacks qualifications. Even after learning about that guy’s active deeds in Misha County from the forum afterward, Double Leaf, who hasn’t seen him for too long, still feels unreal.

Ultimately, Double Leaf herself might not even realize she is, in fact, someone with very high standards.

In other words, she looks down on ordinary people and wouldn’t take them seriously.

And previously, Frank Hughes clearly was not taken seriously by Double Leaf.

But after the previous story, although Double Leaf knows the reason why the opponent can barely tie with her and even earn higher evaluations from the Book Spirit lies mainly in ’understanding the script outside of the project’, she subconsciously acknowledged Frank Hughes.

Acknowledged that he had the qualification to stand on the same stage as her, no longer just a bit player or a backdrop, but a genuine ’character’.

Of course, this psychological effect doesn’t let Double Leaf drop her guard. In fact, now she’s even more cautious than before, and her future attempts to test Frank will only increase.

But what if Frank Hughes is not Tan Mo?

In this curious twist of fate where he earned recognition, does he qualify as Double Leaf’s ’friend’?

Perhaps the girl hadn’t considered this question a few seconds ago, but after Frank Hughes’ comment that ’Double Leaf, your way of making friends is clumsier than what you’re usually perceived as,’ she took almost only a few seconds to clarify most of the aforementioned nearly fifteen hundred words, completing a precise self-analysis like an operation, and...acknowledged it.

However, it was only acknowledgment. If anyone thinks this girl will thereby become gentle, kind, and considerate, treating this rare ’friend candidate’ as a treasure, that person either drank too much ethanol or didn’t take enough cephalosporin.
