Their commission was suspicious.

As Otto answered Chen Luo's question, his thoughts involuntarily returned to the moment when he met the Honkai God in the consciousness space of the Second Herrscher, Sirin.

When Otto asked the Honkai God for the answer to saving Kallen, the Honkai consciousness that had taken Otto's form stabbed itself with a blade.

Although Otto has not yet found a complete way to revive Kallen, he has already foreseen the price of the rescue.

Otto had no doubts or fears about this.

But... if Kallen could be resurrected without me dying, wouldn't that be even more perfect?

“So if there’s a way that satisfies both sides, I naturally wouldn’t choose the original plan. Like you, someone who came out of the plan,” Otto said.

"Didn't you used to doubt that I was bluffing you? Why do you believe me so much now?"

“Well…” Otto paused for a moment, then pointed to a corner of the bar.

Chen Luo looked in the direction Otto was pointing and saw two green figures.

"...Tsk, they really did run into each other." Chen Luo said with a headache.

Although the raven next to Chen Luo tried its best not to look in that direction, it still saw the two unwanted shadows on the table because of Chen Luo's influence, and its body trembled.

One Mebius was already terrifying enough, but now there are two.

“Those two people have made me even more certain of the existence of the previous civilization. Even in the worst-case scenario, if I were to travel back 5 years, it would still be better than one of them having to disappear,” Otto said, sounding somewhat relaxed.

Otto isn't stupid. If he could stay by Kallen's side, why would he want to die?

So what if we have to wait 5 years? Aren't there hibernation pods?

As for whether or not we can obtain a space in a hibernation pod...

Otto was still somewhat confident in himself; knowing the history of the previous civilization, he believed that surviving to the end wouldn't be difficult.

And isn't it possible for a miracle to happen?

What if Chen Luo really does revive Kallen without any side effects?

Therefore, Otto appears exceptionally relaxed now.

"Aren't you afraid that after you resurrected Kallen, Durandal will rip out your heart?" Chen Luo raised an eyebrow.

"Open your heart? Go ahead and do it. If once isn't enough, do it 10 times. If 10 times isn't enough, do it 100 times. I don't have much else, but I have plenty of Soul Steel in my body," Otto said with a smile.

“Durandal has been by my side for so long, she should know that killing me is not easy.”

"You can't just ignore fate, can you?"

"Huh? Didn't I already promise you? As long as you can revive Kallen, I'll give you Destiny as a gift." Otto's tone suggested that he had never considered Destiny anything of value.

Upon hearing this, the raven wiping the cup next to Chen Luo trembled slightly in its left hand, which was holding the cup.

The entire Destiny? How much would that be worth?

“But I think you might need someone to help you manage destiny.” Otto pointed to himself.

"..."

"Besides, since you can resurrect Kallen, there's no reason you can't resurrect Cecilia, right? Isn't that the root of their hatred for me? Once that root of hatred disappears, even if they kill me dozens or hundreds more times, I'll give them appropriate psychological compensation..."

Otto didn't finish his sentence, but it seemed he already had a blueprint for the matter.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Resurrect Cecilia]: Resurrects Kiana's mother, Cecilia Schariac.

Reward: 500 Primogems + random reward

Difficulty: 3 stars

Ah, this...

Chen Luo never expected that before he could receive the mission to revive Cecilia from Siegfried, Durandal, and Kiana, he would receive it from Otto first.

This truly shows how unpredictable life can be...

However, perhaps because Otto's desire to revive Cecilia wasn't very strong, the Primogem reward wasn't very high.

Compared to the five-star quest to revive Kallen, it's not only two stars lower, but the rewards are also five times worse.

“Speaking of which, A Luo, I heard you’re really good at finding people, right? Could you help me find my brother?” Raven, who was sitting next to Chen Luo, suddenly said to him.

"I'm willing to give any number of work points as long as I can find my brother."

[Ding! You have a new request!]

【Finding, Finding, Finding Her Brother】: Help Natasha Ciora find her brother.

Rewards: 1000 Primogems + random rewards + Raven's affinity +30

Difficulty: Four stars

Sending favors again, sending favors again, sending favors again?

My raven, this is the third time you've shown me favor.

If this task is completed, the discount will be fully applied.

Of course, Chen Luo didn't know how much of that discount was inflated.

Chen Luo wasn't disgusted by the goodwill; it was mainly because Raven didn't have anything worth buying.

Chen Luo thought it would be better to change the favorability and random reward into a higher-level reward.

"I'll give it a try. No need for work points, after all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime request from you." Chen Luo was quite generous in this regard.

Anyway, work points are basically useless.

Raven's brother, Chen Luo didn't even know his name.

In the original storyline, although Raven and her brother were both corrupted by Honkai energy, they were saved because of Cecilia. As a result, Raven's Honkai adaptability was exceptionally good, but her brother...

So the gray snake only saved the raven, not her brother.

But it's not a big problem.

Chen Luo can go find Gray Snake.

Chen Luo felt that Gray Snake should know about this.

After all, he received this mission first before traveling to the previous era.

In a couple of days, I'll ask Gray Snake if he knows where Raven's brother is, or where he's hiding him.

If he didn't know, Chen Luo would go back to the previous civilization and beat up Gray Snake.

Ask again. If you don't know or there's no hope, beat them up again.

Chen Luo refused to believe that he couldn't beat Gray Snake until he developed muscle memory.

If you still can't find it... then don't blame Chen Luo for beating you to death.

In some ways, Chen Luo's ability to travel to the past and future in a timely manner seems to be a great help in completing his mission.

“…Thank you.” Raven felt a little touched.

"Oh, right, Otto, let's make a deal." Chen Luo looked at Raven, then at Otto, and suddenly remembered something.

"What deal?" Otto asked.

"Well, I have an extremely precious fake Plague Gem here, which I don't know where I got it from. Although it's a fake, that's why it reduces the Plague Gem's rejection of the human body. While it can't create a Herrscher, it might be possible to create a pseudo-Herrscher. And even if it doesn't go in that direction, it can be used to create some special armor."

As Chen Luo spoke, he took out the counterfeit plague gem and placed it on the bar.

Raven looked at the fake gemstone, and it looked exactly like the gemstones she had just returned to Chen Luo that afternoon.

The price at the time was around 100 work points for 10 fake gems.

Yes, that's a huge profit!

"Oh?" After hearing Chen Luo's words, Otto picked up the fake plague gem, examined it carefully, and found that it was indeed as Chen Luo had said.

This thing may not be as powerful as the original Plague Gem, but it might still be quite valuable.

After all, the Herrscher Core has conducted countless experiments and still hasn't found a single suitable candidate.

As for the origin of this core...

Although Otto had some reservations about Chen Luo, the suspect who stole his Plague Gem, his Blank Key, and his Void Treasury, he let it go for the sake of Chen Luo helping him revive Kallen.

Those things, it's okay if they're lost, it's not a big deal.

"How much money do you want?" Otto asked.

“A villa island. The location is…” Chen Luo said.

"Deal." Otto agreed immediately without even hearing where the villa island was located.

With such a large and prosperous family, would Tianming care about this?

It's just a small villa island...

"Crack!" Overly excited, Raven finally crushed the wine glass he had been wiping for so long with his bare hands.

Chapter 269 Shen He: Are you willing to come with me...?

"Chen Luo! You bastard!" After Otto slowly sat back down in the corner of the bar to observe the situation, Raven grabbed Chen Luo by the neck with both hands and shook Chen Luo's head like an electric motor.

"You bastard, you bastard! You actually bought my 10 villa islands for 100 work points! Are you even human?" Raven was so angry that he could barely speak.

Now Raven not only wants to kill Chen Luo with one punch, but also wants to kill its own version of itself from this afternoon.

Why would you sell 10 fake gems to me for 100 work points? Are you really that short of 100 work points?

You idiot, how could anything Chen Luo gave you be bad? Couldn't you have kept it safe? And you're happy? Happy my foot! You spendthrift woman…

One gem can be exchanged for one villa island, so 10 gems would be 10 villa islands. Ah, he exchanged 10 villa islands for 100 work points and was still smugly pleased with himself.

Did they make a fortune this time?

"Chen Luo, how dare you?"

"Alright, alright, stop shaking it, you're shaking yourself to death."

In other words, no one is allowed to hurt each other in the midnight bar. Chen Luo was shaken for so long before he was alright. Otherwise, a normal person's neck would have been shaken off.

"Then give me back the remaining nine fake gems. I'll just spend 100 work points to buy them back." Raven was practically swearing.

Although it's true that I didn't value what Chen Luo gave me, and I myself said it didn't look like anything good, but...

Putting aside the facts, is Chen Luo completely without fault? If you had simply said that this one fake gemstone was worth a villa or an island, and that I could keep it as a treasure, would you have believed me?

"You want to buy that fake gemstone back? No problem," Chen Luo said lazily.

"Really?" Raven Yao Chen Luo's hand paused for a moment.

"Each fake gem costs 1499 work points, no bargaining."

"You bastard! You took back 100 work points and 10 gems, and now you dare to sell it for 1499? Why don't you just rob us!"

"What a joke! Why would I rob someone when I can make money selling fake gems? A fake gem can be made in just 20 seconds, and each fake gem is worth a villa or an island. Why would I rob someone?" Chen Luo asked the most crucial question.

Isn't this much faster than robbing people?

"You bastard! One fake gem is worth a villa island. How many villa islands would you get with ten fake gems?" Raven was heartbroken.

“One fake gem is worth a villa island, and ten fake gems are also worth a villa island. Raven, sometimes it’s not about having more, but about having less.” Chen Luo said, holding up his finger as Raven shook him wildly.

"Don't bring up that crap! All I want now is my villa island!"

"Good, good, didn't you just buy your villa island? Otto has already used the communicator to notify others to buy that villa island. It will probably be yours in an hour or two."

"That's good, that's good." Raven was excited and happy as her dream was about to come true, and a little bit incredulous.

"Oh, by the way, remember to transfer the money to me tomorrow," Chen Luo said.

"What money?" Raven was taken aback.

"It's about what we agreed on, that you had to pay half the price for the villa island," Chen Luo reminded him.

"What?! You have the nerve to ask me for my money?"

The raven had never seen such a shameless person.

They spent 100 work points to buy 10 counterfeit cores from me, then used one of those counterfeit cores to buy a villa island, then deducted 800 work points from me, and made me pay half the price again.

Rounding up, it's like getting something for nothing.
