Chapter 2944 - 1397: Triple-Thread Computation

We all know that Motan is a highly capable person, possessing potential that could be labeled as ’genius’ in multiple domains. Speaking of double intelligence, his intellectual prowess is undeniable—truly a great mind—while his emotional intelligence is also considerably high. Perhaps it’s because he realized early on that he was somewhat seriously ill, and to blend into society, his interpersonal skills have been top-notch from the start. Even though his social circle rarely expands and he has few close friends, he is almost never disliked.

Of course, this doesn’t mean Motan is a good person; it’s just that many innocent people who were harmed... even those with reasons sometimes don’t know their plight was linked to him.

In summary, Motan is one of the rare ’all-rounders,’ undoubtedly a high-quality human being.

However, this ’all-rounder’ quality, this ’high quality,’ also has its limits.

After all, being well-rounded implies balance, and balance means he cannot achieve perfection in any single domain. He may be an awe-inspiring genius, but it’s difficult for him to become a terrifying monster.

Although saying this might seem somewhat like humblebragging, considering that whether in the Real World or The Realm of Innocence, most people only reach the level of talent, geniuses are extremely rare in society, and monsters are few and far between, mostly existing only in textbooks and history books. A genius is already a very high level of talent.

But Motan is different; he knows quite a few monsters.

Perhaps if he puts in a bit more effort, he could surpass many in a particular domain, yet he often struggles to achieve excellence in a specific skill.

For example, Double Leaf, as mentioned before, this woman’s technical prowess in IT far exceeds that of Motan. Although he has been able to compete with her over the years without falling behind, more than fifty percent of the reason is due to the domineering hardware he obtained from Quirky.

For example, Luna, Motan has also studied Alchemy in The Realm of Innocence and even achieved some success. However, the more he studies, the more he realizes the gap between himself and Luna. The latter’s talent in this field is utterly unreasonable; the so-called Alchemist rating is a joke in front of that girl.

For example, Showering Snow, even though Motan’s strongest character has already entered the Personal Combat Power Rankings, during the comprehensive Knight martial contest, he was completely suppressed by the opponent without any counterattack ability. Both have High-Order Pinnacle strength, and the impact of the game market has been greatly reduced. Moreover, Motan has Wang Badan, a high-quality Blood Covenant Partner, but even so, he was beaten brutally.

For example, Shu, who realized since childhood that his brother was not enough to take on Violet’s mantle, and prepared early for the recent internal chaos, constantly accumulating strength out of sight over the years, infiltrating his forces everywhere. Such mind and tactics are not something ordinary people can achieve.

For example, Foster, who transformed the Law Enforcement Force, once a sharp blade under the Elders’ meeting, into an independent force composed mainly of students within just a few years, thriving in Academy City. Before graduation, he became one of the most excellent young individuals across the continent, whether in the levels of authority or balance domain, reaching the pinnacle.

For example, Cui Xiaoyu, Niu Chao.

There are many such examples; the conclusion is only one: Motan, while being an excellent person, often finds it hard to advance further and achieve higher achievements.

And he himself never had such extravagant expectations, after all, as someone who can objectively assess himself and make absolutely rational evaluations when necessary, Motan is very aware of his own strengths and weaknesses.

Yet this does not mean Motan’s upper limit is only at his current level. In fact, under suitable conditions, he also possesses the qualifications to become a ’monster.’

Although he is very aware that he will probably never meet those conditions.

His mental state is a chasm he can never surpass, and the ultimate scenery lies only on the other side of that chasm.

Objectively speaking, there are only two paths to let Motan advance further and cross that chasm.

The first is the highly idealized path: unifying all the personality, habits, and strengths of Motan’s various mental states, merging all his advantages. After all, under different personas, what they share are merely knowledge, memory, and intelligence threshold, while in the aspect of bias, there are discrepancies.

The second is to leave only one mental state, granting him a normal growth environment. For example, assuming Motan under the [Chaotic Neutral] persona becomes ’the only one,’ then whether it’s his IT skills in the real world or his personal prowess in the game, he would likely be no worse than Double Leaf.

However, both paths share a common point, and that is their feasibility equals—zero.

Just like an ’absolutely smooth, frictionless surface,’ always existing in theory, and only possible to exist in theory.

However, at this moment, Motan has gained an opportunity.

An extremely short yet infinitely close opportunity to the first path.
