You user page displays your total edit count. This value is not cached.

The value on Special:Editcount/XBoltBladerX is also your total edit count, but this value is cached, which means it only updates once a day so that your computer doesn't have to constantly check for what the new value is (it's a thing a lot of websites do to improve loading times). The 4 is your mainspace edits, which are only edits to articles, and not to other pages such as forums, comments, blogs, and project pages.
