Chapter 248
"Otto's plan..."
For the first time, MEI felt distressed.
I don't know much about Otto.
This is one of the biggest dilemmas she's facing right now!
Having had little direct or indirect contact with Otto since transmigrating, I have no real understanding of such matters. Even if I wanted to analyze the current Otto based on my understanding of Otto from my previous life.
It can't be done very well either.
In my past life, I focused on the enjoyment of the game rather than the plot, and on admiring the characters rather than the stories behind them.
Otto is neither Valkyrie nor a character to be fawned over. His direct appearance in Li Pu's memory is mainly due to two reasons: voice-over and being a meme king.
Otto did serve as an introduction to some Valkyrie.
There are also quite a few memes surrounding Otto.
The most famous one is the cuckold king.
Stack a green buff on its head!
Because of this meme, Li Pu took the time to learn a little about Otto's character.
In summary, they are simps, technically skilled simps, and simps who end up with nothing.
Let's ignore the term "simp" for now.
But Otto is indeed very skilled in technology. He seems to be the technological leader of Schicksal, Theresa is an artificial human created by Otto. At the same time, Otto also seems to be planning something.
It's something related to the Herrscher.
Um...
"It seems necessary to find Otto," MEI said, standing up. "Let's see what Otto is up to."
MEI made her own decision.
Otto was still having coffee at St. Freya, received an application, which was forwarded from the human resources department.
"What is this?" Otto glanced at it briefly and said, "My lovely Kallen, she actually wants to be transferred back to St. Freya?"
Generally speaking, a regular job transfer application wouldn't even need to go through Otto's hands. Especially for a lowly cleaning job, there's even less need for Otto to personally sign it.
But the problem is, this cleaner is no ordinary person!
Of course it was transferred!
Otto took a sip of coffee and looked at Kallen's application.
The reason given in the application above is "I am applying to return to work at St. Freya because I am unable to keep up with the game updates on Sbeam".
Otto knew about Sbeam.
Financial tools as described by someone with artificial intelligence.
This thing needs an internet connection!
And the games on Sbeam are naturally very plentiful.
While it's not like you can't play without an internet connection—there are quite a few single-player games on it—you'll need to be aware of the latest updates and DLC to get them in a timely manner.
Of course, it needs to be connected to the internet.
Does Hyperion not have internet?
Of course it's not true!
The Hyperion also connects to the internet, but it's not a special network. However, through some technical means, it can still connect to a regular network and update the game in a timely manner.
This is something that a certain AI is very skilled at.
Therefore, this reason for the application is neither valid nor does it seem very perfunctory.
It was just a perfunctory application.
Otto took a sip of coffee.
Then I tapped my own Daimyo!
This was Kallen's own request, what's wrong with that?
"Your Excellency, Archbishop," a loyal maid said after a moment's thought, "after seeing Otto stamp her Daimyo on the document, she finally decided to offer her opinion: "Are you sure you want to transfer Kallen back from the Hyperion?"
"Of course," Otto asked, holding his coffee cup. "Is there anything wrong with that?"
"Aren't you afraid that Kallen will see through your current plans?" Rita asked, "Given Kallen's wisdom."
"She must have figured something out before applying for the transfer, right?"
"So what if I did?" Otto retorted. "I didn't use any underhanded tactics."
"Even if she figured it out, could she stop it?"
Otto didn't think he was playing any underhanded tricks; this time, it was an open strategy! Kallen Fantasy a publicly released game, even though the content had been changed.
Moreover, the reason given for the public offering was to raise funds for St. Freya School.
Meanwhile, the original intention of the game Kallen Fantasy was to allow ordinary people to have a basic understanding of Valkyrie.
Of course, the last point wasn't explicitly stated.
Moreover, Otto didn't add any special personal touches to this game.
As for soul fragments and such~
He really didn't know that.
Most importantly.
"If Kallen is determined to investigate this matter," Otto said, "Then there's nothing we can do to stop her. So rather than let her cause us trouble from afar on the Hyperion."
"Then we might as well transfer her to our side."
"At least we can still see."
If necessary, it can also exert some influence in a timely manner.
Otto's plan was meticulously crafted.
Rita didn't say anything more, and soon her transfer application was approved.
Of course, her transfer application was approved.
Some people were not so happy about it.
"Mr. Kevin!" Seele said to Kevin, "It seems that Sister Mei is starting to focus more on Otto."
"This looks very bad for Mr. Kevin."
Seele is trying to provoke Kevin.
It's not that Seele is trying to stir things up; she just finds it interesting.
Only...
If you and your organization can't open the exit, then what use are you?!
Seele was genuinely disappointed and also a little anxious.
What time is it?!
Will that World Serpent be of any use at all? And Mr. Kevin, are you even able to break out? If not, then... I won't be able to find anyone!
Seele was really anxious.
There are new people on the Hyperion.
Yae Sakura and Hi-Fyūmaru.
Although Seele didn't think these two people would threaten her relationship with her sister Bronya.
But more and more people are appearing around Bronya, and more and more people are becoming her Bronya sister. And she is now the only one left out.
How could this be done?
Bronya's friends and companions are growing.
And myself...
I am still trapped in this place.
I hear the wailing of a loser every day!
This is torture!
"No! My MEI!"
The loser has started wailing again.
Kevin didn't want this to happen either; he wanted to go out too! Instead of spending all day here watching his girlfriend and other people chattering away.
But I can't do anything about it.
"Mr. Kevin," Seele shook her head, interrupting Kevin's wailing rudely, "If you're always here."
"You can't do anything."
"Even with such heart-wrenching screams," Seele criticized, "Sister Mei wouldn't be able to hear them."
"She had no idea what was happening here, that someone was watching her."
"Oh~ You wouldn't like to witness Sister MEI getting married and having a baby, would you?"
I'm shivering and freezing!
Kevin certainly didn't want to!
But...
If we can't get out, then it's really useless!
"Don't you have any ideas at all?" Seele asked.
Once the solution was mentioned, Kevin finally calmed down.
He was just one step away from being stopped.
If this Yang is still alive...
Wrong?
Yang should still be alive, right? Okay, let's assume he's dead.
What's the point of leaving only this one maze?
'I think I remember,' Kevin said, as if recalling something. 'This Herrscher... it seems like the lineage can be passed down, right?'
Kevin seemed to remember, though he couldn't recall where he had seen it.
However, he seemed to remember that Herrscher could be inherited, and after the death of the previous Herrscher, someone could inherit his power and become a new Herrscher.
If it could be passed down.
Now that Welt Yang is dead, what is the purpose of the labyrinth he created with his power?
Tell Kevin that he is no longer a bad Herrscher.
Herrscher wants to protect the world and human civilization?
No...
I don't think so.
Welt Yang's labyrinth must have served more than just a purpose to prevent him from getting out Welt, right?
Is the Japanese tradition of inheritance and selection mentioned above?
Kevin suddenly wondered if he had thought of something.
If it really is about inheritance and selection.
That inevitably means weeding out those who are unsuitable and leaving only the one truly qualified to inherit this power. Let him inherit this power and become the new Herrscher of Reason!
Of course, this Herrscher of Reason should agree with Welt Young's ideas, inherit his philosophy, and fulfill this promise.
