Their commission was suspicious.

"I would have done it even if you hadn't mentioned it, because Meteora wished to gather all the created beings together as much as possible, and Alice is also a created being. But gentle persuasion... I, I will try my best."

"Then I'll have to trouble you. I know this might be difficult, but please do. As a reward, please don't hesitate to ask if there's anything I can do for you." Mamika Kiraki bowed again.

"You don't need to be so polite... but I do need to think carefully about the specific methods of gentle persuasion."

Non-violent, gentle persuasion methods...

The first thing Chen Luo thought of was a gentle, persuasive video about quitting smoking.

But that requires selling one's body.

However, in just a moment, Chen Luo made up his mind.

No problem!

Chen Luo also began to adjust the job type and working hours for the second laborer in the landscape design plan.

Unlike the Void Treasury, whose body is made of soul steel and whose logic is that of an intelligent AI, the True Mirror of the Castle Construction Institute at least needs rest time.

Working continuously lowers your mood and disrupts your rationality, which reduces work efficiency.

Death is not scary; what's scary is reduced work efficiency.

Therefore, Chen Luo adjusted her working hours to 17 hours, leaving her one hour to soak in the hot springs and six hours to sleep.

Anyway, Tsukijoin Shinkan isn't a good person, so there's no need to feel sorry for him.

As for the type of work... Tsukijoin Shinkan was not a physical warrior to begin with; his most outstanding skill was level three craftsmanship.

"Oh, right, I think we should put some food in. Hmm, I'll put some raspberries in." Chen Luo put some black bread in.

The reason for the discrepancy between his words and actions was that Chen Luo suddenly discovered that raspberries were more expensive than black bread.

“But the current labor force seems a bit unbalanced… Void Treasury is a level three scientific research, and the True Mirror of the City Construction Academy is a level three craftsmanship, so who will do the ashes? Forget it, let’s grab another Otto and transfer Void Treasury to do the ashes.” Chen Luo nodded, then reached to the side with his left hand.

While chasing the real Otto, Otto was searching for his escape route. However, he realized that he had lost the chase, but he also seemed to be free. So he quickly ran into the alley next to him and saw bright lights ahead after passing through the alley.

That seemed to symbolize the light of freedom...

I will never discuss philosophy with that other version of myself again; that despicable thing is too infuriating.

But just as Otto sped out of the alley, he heard a sudden stop and the sound of car horns…

"Bang!" A large truck hit Otto, sending him flying.

"Huh?" Chen Luo looked at the Story Otto he was carrying, which had almost been knocked apart, with a bit of confusion.

No, where did you go?

"Huh? What happened to the other me?" Otto asked curiously.

"It looks like he was hit by a big truck." Chen Luo grabbed the other person by the collar and gave him a gentle shake. The body, which had been slightly dislocated due to the huge impact, returned to its original position.

In the current story, Otto, with Altair's help, has become the first walking Divine Key, but the truck is, after all, a reincarnation artifact from another world, and its immense impact should not be underestimated.

"Let me go. I don't think we're without a basis for cooperation, because I don't want the world to end either." After a moment of confusion, Otto regained his senses and spoke clearly.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Otto is indeed Otto; even in dire straits, he remains calm and composed.

It is almost identical to the real Otto, except that the real Otto has Kallen.

Of course, Kallen in the real Otto also has Yae Sakura by her side.

It was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

But this has nothing to do with Chen Luo; Chen Luo is only responsible for reviving Kallen.

"Oh." Chen Luo released Otto.

[Ding! Mission complete!]

"Then let's talk about Altel." Otto straightened his clothes, glared at the real Otto, and then began to speak eloquently.

Otto knew that Chen Luo, as the Holy Grail, might indeed be omniscient and omnipotent, but as Altel's strategist, he also knew a lot about Altel. If he were to betray Altel, it would be very easy for him.

As for whether he would feel guilty for betraying Altl? How could that be?

After all, from the moment Otto became Altel's strategist in the story, Otto was already prepared to betray Altel.

After all, Otto couldn't possibly let the world be destroyed, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to save his Kallen, right?

What's most frustrating is that just when you've finished planning and are about to put your plan into action, another version of yourself suddenly appears out of nowhere and starts hunting you down.

“No need to talk about it. You are an outsider, so I will send you back to your original world,” Chen Luo said, shaking his head.

"...Is there nothing to discuss?"

"There's nothing to discuss."

“…” Otto narrowed his eyes, then gripped the Heavenly Fire Greatsword that had appeared in his hand tightly.

"But I can let you take back enough recognition to fulfill your wish. Consider it as taking back some local specialties."

“Oh, my friend, I wish we had met sooner! Altair has been a troublemaker since she was a child; I could tell she wasn’t a good person the moment I saw her,” Otto said warmly to Chen Luo.

If given a choice, which Otto would want Karen to live a life of widowhood?

Moreover, instead of trying your best, you might as well just ask Chen Luo, the Root Grail, for a wish.

It's too much trouble to painstakingly collect recognition power; the Holy Grail is much better.

"Don't try that on me," Chen Luo said disdainfully.

"In short, if you can help me fulfill my wish, if you come to the story world I live in, I'm willing to give you my entire destiny! How about it?" Otto the Storyteller remained enthusiastic.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Power to Change the World]: Help Otto collect enough information to change the story world and bring Kallen back to life.

Rewards: 1300 Primogems + Random Rewards + [Genuine & Counterfeit Items]

Difficulty: Four stars

The fact that the commission wasn't five stars didn't surprise Chen Luo, because Otto already had a rough idea of ​​collecting recognition power for this story.

Since there are still ways to deal with the problem, the obsession will lessen somewhat.

Even so, the rewards for this mission are among the best of the four-star missions.

Chen Luo took a quick look at the real Otto.

The two Ottos are indeed 99% similar. In order to revive Kallen, they gave Chen Luo the exact same things.

"No need. I don't ask for anything else from you. I just need you to give me the Soul Steel body of the Void Treasury that you swapped bodies with. How about that?"

Chen Luo's reward is a character of his choice. The Root Grail is one character, Otto/Void Treasury in the story is another, and even a weapon can be considered a character.

But a large amount of Soul Steel won't work.

Unless you create a Celestial Father using Soulsteel and then select the character as the Celestial Father.

However, Chen Luo doesn't need that much Soul Steel.

Aside from the Key to True Self, other weapons don't need this material, and... as long as the level doesn't exceed 6 stars, the Void Treasury after the Limit Break can be mass-produced after analysis.

Therefore, the quantity is not important, as long as there is a sample.

“Deal,” Otto said eagerly.

The real Otto understands the actions of the story Otto.

If he knew that the world he lived in was a story created by someone else, and that there really was a way to save Kallen without sacrificing himself, and at such a low cost, Otto would agree without hesitation.

As for whether his world was fake or not, Otto wouldn't care about such things, since his feelings for Kallen were beyond question.

Furthermore, since this game was released by Altair, and Altair directly updated the game version to a point where the entire world was in turmoil over the Herrscher of Domination, without releasing the storyline where he saved Kallen but died, it inherently represents a degree of controllability.

Anyway, Altair, that dead pigeon, won't release any more plot details. It's like losing the creator, so the development of the plot is left to the people in the world to decide, right?

Moreover, even if the subsequent plot is released, as long as one gains enough recognition, one can still change the fundamental rules of the world.

As for those Valkyries who suffered a series of misfortunes because of their own plans...

Although they have indeed lost a lot, they still have a chance to reform themselves.

If Otto acknowledges that he still has power left after reviving Kallen, he wouldn't mind making some more changes to the settings to help them make up for their regrets!

"..." Chen Luo glanced at the subtitles that kept appearing above Otto's head.

Sure enough, Otto is still Otto, he really deserves to die.

“However, before I gather enough recognition power to send you back to the world to save Kallen, you have to do some work for me in this scroll. Is that alright?” Chen Luo picked up the Mountain and River Design Blueprint.

"No problem. But are you sure you don't need my help to deal with Altair?"

"No need," Chen Luo shook his head and refused.

It cannot be denied that Otto, as Altair's strategist, had been in the business for so long that he truly understood Altair and must have been fully prepared to betray him. Otherwise, Otto would never have stood by and watched Altair summon characters like the female knight Meteora. Otto could have seen through their betrayal at a glance.

Of course, Otto also knew that Altair didn't care whether they would betray him or not; as long as he created enough conflict, he could destroy the world.

Altair may have done it on purpose, since if their ideologies align, there will be no conflict.

However, even without Otto's help in the story, Chen Luo has another trump card...

“After you enter the scroll and help me create items, I will have him impersonate you and infiltrate the enemy,” Chen Luo said, pointing to the real Otto.

“…” Otto was silent for a moment.

That seems like a good idea.

The story of Otto and the real Otto has been discussed for so long that, apart from Kallen not needing him to revive, this Otto is 99.99% similar to himself.

"But I must remind you, Altair possesses an ability similar to knowing what's happening to all parties in real time, though the exact scope is unknown. And if you're going to forge it, remember to make another version of me the First Divine Key," Otto said with a hint of malice.

"Don't worry, I have a plan." Chen Luo nodded.

Even without the power of the Root Grail, Chen Luo could still confuse information.

"Come in without worry... After all, I have no reason to lie to you, and you can't beat me anyway." Chen Luo unrolled the scroll and then sucked the story Otto inside.

“Wait, can I set my own rest time and work projects?” Otto raised his hand.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Here you go." Chen Luo tossed the landscape design drawings to Otto.

After handing over the blueprints of the mountains and rivers, Chen Luo used the power of the Origin Holy Grail to confuse the information of this world, so as not to let Altair discover the flaws.

However, Chen Luo's decision to have the real Otto disguise himself as the story Otto and infiltrate the enemy was not merely for amusement, but because he was ordered to do so.

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault." Genyuan rolled his eyes at Chen Luo.

I gave you a follower-type light cone made with the Source of the World, so why are you putting all the blame on me?

If you want to do it, go ahead, no one's stopping you.

However, Genyuan was indeed quite satisfied with the materials collected by Chen Luo, as they perfectly matched Genyuan's aesthetics and interests.

It's not difficult to confuse information, especially for Chen Luo, who also serves as the Root of the Holy Grail.

Just ...

"22-hour workdays? One hour in the hot springs, one hour sleeping? Otto, Otto, you really don't treat your other self like a human being." Merlin was shocked when she saw the work schedule Otto had arranged in the story.

This person is so ruthless to himself, he must be even more ruthless to others. This kid is terrifying, he must not be allowed to live!

"You can't say that. Only you know yourself best. He's already become the first Divine Key. Why worry about him dying suddenly? No, there's no need to worry. So use him as much as you can, as long as he doesn't die! But it's a Level 5 research project! It's more than 10 times faster than the Void Treasure's research!" True Otto said dismissively.

The difference between Level 3 and Level 5 scientific research is even smaller than the difference between Chen Luo and the puppeteer... but it's not an exaggeration to say that the gap between Level 3 and Level 5 is 10 times.

As an AI, what kind of creativity does Void Treasury have?

The story of Otto is different. Otto was simply born in the wrong era. If he were in a previous civilization, he would at least be the fourteenth hero.

The fact that the previous civilization was able to successfully resist the Honkai was largely due to Otto contributing more than 50% of the power, at least in the early stages.

Otto's significance lies in bringing together scattered nations and forces, preventing situations like those in the previous civilizations—where even with the Herrschers at their doorsteps, nations were still sabotaging each other.

"As expected, I'm still the one who's tougher on myself." Chen Luo took the Shanhe design drawings from Otto.

Then, using the Root Grail, I created the First Divine Key, Void Treasury.

This is because the power of the Root Grail can be eliminated by Altel, while the original First Key of God of Otto cannot, which is actually a flaw.

"So, are you ready to swap bodies with the Void Treasury?" Chen Luo asked, holding the First Divine Key.
