Five-Star Commission and +50 Affection with Otto

"Manager, didn't you say you help others fulfill their wishes on a side job? If I want to go to the Previous Civilization Era, what price do I need to pay?" But clearly, Otto didn't want to listen to Chen Luo's rambling.

Otto now has a crazy idea.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Chapter 164 Five-Star Request and Otto's Favorability +50

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[A Thousand Years of Waiting]: Otto wants to travel to the Previous Civilization Era, then spend the Previous Civilization Era in a feasible way such as freezing, and then awaken after waiting for ten thousand years to save Kallen at the right time.

Reward: 1000 Primogem + Random Items

Difficulty: Four stars

Well, to put it simply, the pure love faction went absolutely berserk.

Some say Kevin is obsessed, but Chen Luo suddenly feels that Otto is even more obsessed than Kevin.

That's tens of thousands of years...

However, it must be said that this method is indeed very feasible, and since Otto himself saved Kallen, Otto would not have any doubts about it.

Chen Luo is a real man, but...

"I'm sorry, no way." Chen Luo accepted the task but refused.

Giving up any mission would be a waste of Chen Luo's talents, but it wouldn't be a problem if he accepted a mission and didn't complete it.

"Why?" Otto forced himself to stop himself from slamming his fist on the table.

"Bishop Otto, I have heard about your poignant love story with Kallen, but have you ever thought about this?"

"What's the problem?" Otto asked.

"Bishop Otto, you were so excited when you saw the 'time travel' option, you must have been thinking about traveling back 50,000 years, freezing yourself for 50,000 years, and then waking up 500 years in the Present Tense to save Kallen, right?"

"!!!" Otto's pupils contracted for a moment, but then he relaxed.

After all, he had really lost his composure this time, and his desire for something was so strong that anyone could see it.

The store manager must be a shrewd person, so he should be able to guess it.

"Your Excellency! You..." Rita, who was listening to Chen Luo's words but did not see Otto's rebuttal, was completely shocked.

What will happen to Schicksal now that you're gone?

"Hmm, don't speak yet." Otto stopped Rita before she could finish speaking.

Otto knew exactly what Rita wanted to say.

The problem is, what is Schicksal compared to Kallen? Or rather, Schicksal itself is just a tool Otto used to revive Kallen.

Now that a highly successful method is presented to you, do you want Otto to calm down?

Calm down, my ass.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Rita sighed helplessly.

"Manager, please speak," Otto said politely and respectfully.

"Mr. Otto, have you ever considered this possibility? If you did manage to travel to the Previous Era and actually save Kallen, then why are you still sitting here now?"

"Traveling to 50,000 years ago through this bar is not a random event, but an inevitability. For example, I haven't been to the Previous Era yet, but they have already seen me. And what does that mean, Mr. Otto, you should understand, right?" Chen Luo didn't explain the matter very clearly because Chen Luo knew Otto would understand.

"In other words, even if you haven't done something now, your traces have still been left in history. In fact, the current history is already fully formed. If the corresponding event is not recorded in history, it means that even if I travel back in time now, I cannot achieve it?" After Chen Luo's explanation and reminder, Otto realized something very serious.

"That's right. Since you still remember Otto Kallen died right before your eyes to save civilians, it proves that you didn't really save Kallen. It's possible that you didn't survive the Finality the previous civilization, or it's possible that you set the freezing time too late, so you haven't woken up yet." Chen Luo gave two examples.

"The latter is impossible. If I were still myself, I would have awakened at least ten thousand years earlier," Otto said, shaking his head.

"So that means the method of traveling to the past is not feasible?" Otto was somewhat disappointed.

"Well, it's not entirely impossible. If you really traveled back tens of thousands of years to your past self, used a grand show to deceive your past self hundreds of years ago, and used certain methods to change everyone's perception at that time, and then revealed the truth 500 years later, it's not impossible."

"After all, Mr. Otto, you should also understand that although history cannot be changed, it can be hidden."

"That makes sense," Otto nodded.

While deceiving the public is not an easy task, it is not an insurmountable one either.

If my future self did indeed travel back in time and develop for tens of thousands of years, then it would be possible for my younger self to deceive my ignorant self and the ignorant masses of that time.

So to be precise, this matter is not entirely hopeless.

"But... the problem is, all of the above are just my guesses," Chen Luo suddenly said innocently.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Otto's attention was suddenly drawn.

"All our guesses here are just speculations among mortals. Time has always been a very lofty and profound concept. Perhaps my previous conjecture about the nature of time is simply a case of survivorship bias."

"I have no idea what kind of trouble you would cause if I threw you, Bishop, into the Previous Civilization Era. What if you caused the destruction of the Previous Era to be delayed or shortened, thus changing the history of this world, or even preventing Kallen from being born? What if it even led to the destruction of this civilization?"

"Therefore, I will not allow you, Bishop, to travel to 50,000 years ago."

Chen Luo himself didn't dare to cause much trouble in the Previous Era, so he was even more worried about leaving Otto there.

Otto is already very difficult to deal with. If Otto were allowed to develop for tens of thousands of years, wouldn't the final boss possibly become Otto?

Just thinking about it is exciting.

"..." Otto didn't know how to refute or persuade Chen Luo for a moment.

Because the news came so suddenly, Otto had no time to prepare.

Otto suddenly felt an urge to spank his beloved granddaughter.

How could you forget to mention something like this?

"Moreover, Bishop, your method is too time-consuming. If there were a method that could succeed in a few years, would you choose to spend tens of thousands of years to save one person?"

"What do you mean?" Bishop Otto suddenly raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm, what do you mean... When a person's desire becomes extremely strong, a request will be made, and I will choose a few to complete. So, do you need me to resurrect Kallen for you?" Chen Luo smiled as he looked at Otto.

"...Then, what kind of reward do you want?" Otto asked.

"The entire Schicksal!" Chen Luo declared loudly.

Actually, Chen Luo didn't originally intend to ask for payment. After all, what if the other party stopped issuing tasks if the payment was too high?

But Otto, the man in front of Chen Luo, is a suspicious person. What if he doesn't believe him if he doesn't accept any payment?

Would you believe that someone would do for you what you've always wanted in life, based solely on a verbal agreement, without expecting anything in return?

Of course, Chen Luo didn't really want the Schicksal; Otto Chen Luo bargain.

What Chen Luo really wanted was some good stuff from Schicksal, plus those two Herrscher Gem.

Chen Luo isn't from the Honkai World, so what's the use of Schicksal for him?

"Okay, no problem!"

"Well, since you don't..."

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Kallen, my Kallen ...]: Bring Otto the real Kallen Kaslana. She cannot be an alternate version of someone from Different World, nor simply a memory, nor merely possess Kallen's appearance; she must be the Kallen that Otto loves.

Rewards: 3000 Primogem + 50 Otto Affinity + the entire [Schicksal] + Advanced Random Reward

Difficulty: 5 stars

"... You're not playing by the rules. What happened to bargaining?" After holding back for a while, Chen Luo finally blurted out these words.

"It's just Schicksal," Otto said simply.

"..." Chen Luo was speechless for a moment.

Durandal and Rita, who were listening to Otto and Chen Luo's transaction, exchanged glances, wanting to stop them but unsure how.

You might say that Schicksal isn't Otto's private property, and while that's the official statement, that's certainly the case in reality.

Otto, the leader of Schicksal, is arguably the only one who has the final say.

Initially, the Schicksal was indeed composed of three major families, who jointly held power. However, 500 years was enough time for Otto to reshape the Schicksal into his own form.

Don't even mention passing it on to Chen Luo; even if Otto passed the archbishopric to a Himeko, no one would dare to object.

"Of course, that's on the premise that you can actually resurrect Kallen. Otherwise, a promise is just a promise. And if you really can resurrect her, please let me witness it. Alright, let's go. Let's go ask my dear granddaughter some questions." After Otto finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the bar.

The reason he left in such a hurry was because Otto wouldn't completely believe Chen Luo's words.

Although Chen Luo claimed that his bar could connect different timelines, Otto remained somewhat skeptical and naturally needed to verify it.

And if you want to verify this, who is more reliable than your own beloved granddaughter?

Of course, even after verifying it with his granddaughter, Otto would continue to verify it himself, spending some time here every day, hiding in a corner to observe.

Otto was certain that Chen Luo was not lying.

It wasn't until Otto confirmed that the bar did indeed have the ability to travel back 50,000 years.

Otto was a man who never trusted people easily.

You think I'd believe you just because you say so? Do you think I'm an idiot?

The wine that Chen Luo gave to Otto for free was not even touched by Otto.

So Otto is a difficult person to deal with.

Of course, his task was equally difficult.

Otto's requirements were much higher than Yae Sakura's. Yae Sakura only needed Kallen, since she was someone who could live with Kallen Yae Sakura the Stigmata Space for a long time.

But Otto is different. The Kallen that Otto wants must be the Kallen who died 500 years ago for the people, fighting against the Honkai Beasts.

Although Chen Luo didn't intend to just throw Kallen at Yae Sakura, Otto's requirements were indeed quite complicated.

The key concern for Chen Luo is that even if he resurrects the real Kallen, what if Otto doesn't believe him?

The key issue is that Otto is incredibly stubborn; he simply doesn't believe things, no matter how much you present the truth to him.

Otto is such a clever little devil.

If it weren't for the generous rewards of the Otto mission...

But then again, can a five-star mission give 3000 Primogem? If it gives an extra 200, that's enough for two ten-pulls.

In addition, it also comes with the entire Schicksal.

Wouldn't that mean Chen Luo has truly ascended to the throne of Schicksal?

Masaka! Could it be that Chen Luo's dream of being a five-time spy and a five-time enlightened ruler is really about to come true?

Anti-Entropy, Schicksal, Fire Moth, St. Freya Academy, Honkai.

The first two are likely to succeed, needless to say.

The last three are a bit more troublesome.

"But what's the point of getting Otto's favorability? Should I just add 50?" Chen Luo looked at one of the rewards for the commission, his expression somewhat uncertain.

Is Otto trying to mess with me?

The favorability bonus Otto gained from this mission was the highest Chen Luo had ever seen, bar none.

Mobius's doesn't count; that was a reward Mobius offered.

"This mission is tough." Chen Luo rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

Five-star missions are indeed difficult to complete.

Reviving Kallen isn't a big problem; the key issue is that those bizarre conditions are truly difficult to meet.

She even had to convince Otto that this Kallen was the same Kallen he knew.

When has Chen Luo ever been treated like this when accepting a commission?

"Ding-a-ling!" The sound of wind chimes interrupted Chen Luo's thoughts.

"Manager, a cup of bitter melon juice, please!"
