My outrageous life in Honkai Impact 3

Luo Chen tentatively asked, but Otto didn't immediately give him a task; he just watched him quietly. Feeling Otto's gaze, Luo Chen felt uneasy. Who knew if Otto was going to trick him again?

"Don't rush, you must be thirsty after traveling all this way."

Otto suddenly spoke, and then the office door opened, and Amber appeared in the doorway.

Amber came in carrying a tray with two glasses on it. She placed the glasses on the table and then stood quietly behind Otto.

"This is...red wine?"

Luo Chen looked at the red liquid in the glass, wondering why Otto had given him this.

"Try it, it's one of my treasures."

"Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

Although I don't understand Otto's purpose in doing this, it's free anyway, so why not take it?

Luo Chen picked up the cup and took a small sip, but couldn't taste anything. He suspected that there was something wrong with his sense of taste.

"How about it?"

"To be honest, I don't know much about it, but it tastes good."

Luo Chen downed the red wine in his glass in one gulp, put down the glass, looked at Otto, and began to get down to business.

"So, Your Excellency, what task do you intend to assign me?"

"amber."

At Otto's call, Amber stepped forward with two file folders, placed them flat in front of Luo Chen, and then stepped back.

"There are two tasks inside; you only need to choose one."

Looking at the two identical file folders on the table, Luo Chen pondered what kind of task Otto would give him, while also assessing the danger of these two tasks.

"May I ask what types they are?"

"Wouldn't it be boring if I told you?"

Luo Chen wished he could punch Otto's steel-faced cheek right now; the loud sound would be absolutely beautiful.

I hate riddle tellers the most.

After careful consideration, which can be summarized as taking a chance, Luo Chen placed his hand on the one on the right.

"It seems you have made your choice."

Otto set the one on the left aside and gestured for it to be placed there.

Luo Chen opened the file folder, took out several documents, and the first thing that caught his eye was a photo in the upper right corner.

'Isn't that Wendy?'

Luo Chen looked at the photos in surprise. The first sheet of paper was Wendy's personal file, along with information about her recent life.

"This is……"

"This is your mission objective."

Otto spoke slowly, and seeing Luo Chen's bewildered expression, he felt a sense of pleasure and his smile widened.

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen became even more puzzled, not understanding what Otto was trying to do.

"I need you to make contact with the Gem of Desire, which is Wendy."

"why?"

"Your ability to absorb the core's Honkai energy is no secret to me."

Otto leaned back in his chair, tapping the table with one hand, his gaze seemingly passing through Luo Chen, unsure of where he was looking.

"I want to know, where exactly are your limits?"

Silence filled the office. Luo Chen recalled Otto's previous attitude towards him, his mind racing, trying to figure out his ultimate goal.

'An artificial Herrscher? Possibly, Kiana is just one of them. But if that's the case…'

"There's no need to guess. I don't need you to become a Herrscher."

Luo Chen was startled and almost jumped up from his chair. After regaining his composure, Luo Chen looked at Otto again and sensed that there was something else hidden in his smile.

"Your Excellency, what are you saying? I don't understand."

Luo Chen chose to play dumb. No matter what Otto thought, as long as he said he didn't know, that would be fine.

"You have many secrets I don't know, but I'm not interested. I also know you know my plans, but I don't care."

Otto stood up, strolled around the office, walked over to Luo Chen, and placed a hand on his shoulder.

“Even if you stand against me, we can still be friends. You can try to stop my plans, and I can even offer you a range of assistance. This will make the show even more interesting.”

For the first time, Luo Chen truly felt the terror of Otto. Cold sweat poured down his back, fearing that Otto would kill him at any moment.

Seeing that Luo Chen remained silent, Otto returned to his seat, placed his hands on the table, and said, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. We're friends, aren't we?"

"Yes."

Luo Chen forced a smile and replied, knowing that under the current circumstances, he could only go along with Otto's words.

"That's fine then. Consider this mission a favor you've done for me, as for the reward..."

Otto paused to make sure Luo Chen was listening before continuing.

“I can give you the Tranquility Gem as payment.”

Luo Chen understood what Otto meant by the plan, but he was surprised that Otto would offer it as payment.

"why?"

You will need it, but not now.

"OK then."

"Then my friend, you can go and rest now. I'll talk to Theresa about it."

"Thank you, Your Excellency. I'll be going now."

"You can call me Otto. We're friends, aren't we?"

Otto kept emphasizing the word "friend," which gave Luo Chen an inexplicable sense of unease, though he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

After Luo Chen left the office, Otto picked up the file folder on the left, opened it, and took out the documents inside, which were exactly the same as the documents on the right.

Is it really okay for you to lie to him like this?

"Life always needs a little bit of fun."

Otto put down the documents and was just about to slack off and play games when Amber placed a pile of documents in front of him.

“Amber, this…”

Otto's lips twitched violently as he looked at the mountain of documents and considered giving up.

"These are the tasks you didn't finish this morning."

"Can you..."

"No."

Amber knew immediately that Otto was going to escape, so she clicked on the tablet to lock the door and then instructed Rita and Luo Meng to guard the place where Otto stored his Soul Steel body.

"Alright then, looks like I'll have to work overtime."

Chapter 96 Silly Goose, as expected of you!

Stepping out of the office, Luo Chen frowned, pondering how to deal with Otto, unaware of Bianca approaching him.

Bianca walked over to Luo Chen and, seeing that he wasn't looking at her, seemed a little unhappy. She grabbed his hair with her hand.

"Stop! Stop! Bianca, what are you doing!"

Luo Chen felt someone pulling his hair. He turned around and saw a large yellow goose swinging his ponytail up and down.

"What were you thinking about just now?"

Bianca let go of his hand, walked up to Luo Chen, saw him frowning, and gently stroked his cheek.

"Rita said that if you're unhappy, this can make you feel better."

"I'm quite curious about what Rita taught you."

Luo Chen thanked Bianca and walked home with her.

"Brother!"

Halfway there, Luo Chen heard Luo Meng's shout from afar, and then saw Luo Meng rushing towards him. When the distance was right, she jumped up and hopped to Luo Chen's side to hug him.

"You guy."

Luo Chen patted her head and smiled helplessly; the impact just now had almost made him fall.

"Hey bro, long time no see."

"Then you don't need to be so excited."

Luo Meng let go of Luo Chen's hand, stuck out her tongue at him, and made a cute expression.

"Hey bro, are you going on another mission?"
