Their commission was suspicious.

Chen Luo glanced at the message sent to him via the mobile phone avatar in the group network, then looked at Otto in front of him, and decisively blocked the message.

Alicia only drags me around the Firemoth, slowing down my quest completion, but Otto doesn't; he gives me quests.

When Chen Luo opened the bar door in the lounge and walked in, he immediately saw Otto sitting at the bar.

"I'm curious, how long have you been waiting here?" Chen Luo asked Otto after glancing at the time on his talent panel.

"About... three hours," Otto replied after thinking for a moment.

"That's all?"

If Chen Luo remembered correctly, he went to the First Civilization Era through the bar three and a half hours ago. Although Chen Luo's ability allowed him to teleport directly to the First Civilization Era, he still preferred to bring some food from the bar before going there.

Otto was just a little unlucky; if he had arrived a little earlier, he would have been able to see Chen Luo.

"But why didn't you use the authorization card to notify me, or have Theresa and the others notify me directly through a special communicator?" Chen Luo asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Oh, right, give me your communicator. After I give you a buff, you can notify me through the communicator." Chen Luo extended his hand to Otto.

"Only by waiting long enough can I show more sincerity, right? This is probably what they call standing in the snow outside the master's door, isn't it? Don't you Chinese people value this?" Otto shrugged indifferently and then handed his communicator to Chen Luo.

“And I also need some time to calm myself down and think about what I should do in the future and what I can do,” Otto continued.

"Stop pondering those weird allusions all day, okay? I'm not some enlightened master or anything, why would I be moved by that? Why don't you find me some simple, straightforward, and easy-to-fulfill wishes instead?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Otto.

While you have time to stand here patiently, I could have finished several tasks.

Chen Luo is a very down-to-earth person; he never does anything superficial.

"So you're a pragmatist after all?" Otto retrieved the communicator that Chen Luo had used to buff, and began to examine it, but found nothing unusual about it.

"Alright, stop studying it. If you could figure something out, wouldn't that make my SS-level talent seem stupid? And there's no need to beat around the bush, you should already know about that matter, right?"

Upon hearing Otto cite Cheng Men Li Xue as an example, Chen Luo knew that Otto knew about the matter of reviving Kallen, because apart from that matter, there was basically nothing else that Otto needed to take to heart.

"Bar Invitation: Limited Edition - The Strongest Valkyrie of Destiny, that's the name, right? Durandal told me this morning when she came to report to me." Otto said, clutching his chest.

Another wave of heartfelt confessions has arrived today.

However, Otto was used to it. As long as he cut off the pain nerves of the Soul Steel, it wouldn't hurt at all.

Moreover, Otto wasn't bothered at all by the punctured Soul Steel body. After all, it was just punctured, not taken away. He could spend a few hours repairing it later without any loss of Soul Steel.

Unless Durandal deliberately caused trouble for Otto regarding the resurrection of Kallen, Otto wouldn't care at all.

“That’s right, that’s the name, and that’s what it is.” Chen Luo said, casually tossing the invitation onto the bar.

Upon seeing the invitation, Otto's body trembled slightly, and his fingers trembled as he reached out to it.

"Be careful, if you accidentally break this invitation, your fiancée won't be able to come back to life." Just as Otto was about to touch the invitation, Chen Luo's words instantly made Otto pull his hand back.

"What a twisted sense of humor," Otto remarked, instantly understanding the meaning behind Chen Luo's words after his subconscious action.

"I was just telling you to be careful." Chen Luo shrugged.

Chen Luo admitted that he did have an element of trying to scare Otto.

But there was only a little bit.

"So, can we use this thing now?" Otto asked excitedly.

“I understand your excitement. Although resolving this issue in such a dramatic way is indeed a bit childish, I still suggest you calm down first, or perhaps you need my help?” A crimson feather appeared on Chen Luo’s palm, gleaming brightly.

“No, no need. The closer we get to the end, the more we need to stay calm. I think I can do it.” Otto shook his head.

"So, can we use the invitation now?"

"..." Chen Luo was speechless as he looked at Otto, who kept saying he could stay calm but was always looking to use the invitation.

"While I understand how you feel, don't you think we need to be a little more cautious about this?" Chen Luo said helplessly.

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, how can you be sure Karen believes you are from 500 years in the future? After all, your current temperament and appearance are very different from your appearance 500 years ago, right? If you say that you are her fiancé Otto back then, I don't think Karen will believe you." Chen Luo said, looking at Otto, who still had a Soul Steel body.

"...So, do you have any good ideas?" When Otto asked this question, it was tantamount to Otto indirectly admitting Chen Luo's words.

"Well, before we go any further, I'd like to ask you, do you like pink-haired foxes?" Chen Luo asked tentatively.

"..."

Chapter 514 The 500-Year Contract Hidden Deep Within Otto's Soul

"Pink-haired fox, you mean Yae Sakura, right?" Otto asked after a moment of silence.

"Uh, you're really smart." Chen Luo smiled awkwardly but politely.

"Why?" Otto asked quite calmly.

"Because although she is from 500 years ago, just like you, the problem is that she was sealed for 500 years and has only recently been freed from the seal. In Karen's eyes, her temperament should be like that of someone who has just been separated from the seal. But you are different. You have truly lived for 500 years, and both your temperament and appearance have undergone tremendous changes."

"Appearance is actually easy to say, just find a Soul Steel body and mold it, but the key is temperament. Although your childhood sweetheart and fiancée isn't very good at thinking, her intuition is very accurate, you should know that, right?"

Simply put, idiots often have the most accurate intuition. Especially the idiots in the Kaslana family.

"..."

Otto wanted to refute Chen Luo's words, but he couldn't.

Because his childhood friend's intuition was so accurate, Otto had to admit that, in the matter of gaining Kallen's trust, Yae Sakura, the pink-haired fox, was ultimately more authoritative.

"Of course, if you really don't want to, that's fine too. After all, we haven't determined what age Karen we're talking about yet. It could be Karen as a child. But I have a feeling that she might be at the end of her life. That's just my intuition. Believe it or not, I don't care."

"..." Otto remained silent in response to Chen Luo's dismissive remarks.

Chen Luo's words do make sense. It's not necessarily Kallen before she met Yae Sakura, but Kallen knew Otto no matter what period she was in, and that's something that can't be doubted.

But when it comes to Kallen, who is nearing the end of her life, Yae Sakura's persuasiveness is indeed stronger.

More importantly, Otto couldn't gamble, nor did he dare to.

Although Otto was somewhat reluctant to let the pink-haired fox meet Karen, it was still better than missing the chance to save Karen for some reason.

If the rescue fails due to this strange reason, Otto will surely explode on the spot.

“Of course, if you insist on rejecting Yae Sakura so much, I do have other ways to make Kallen believe it. For example, Feather Crossing, or turning her into a puppet... Don’t look at me like that, I’m just providing you with solutions, the final decision is yours,” Chen Luo quickly said.

"You didn't receive a wish from Yae Sakura to revive Kallen, just like I did, did you?" After a moment of silence, Otto finally spoke.

“Yes.” Chen Luo answered quite decisively.

After all, this is nothing shameful or something worth hiding.

"But you can't deny that having Yae Sakura involved was definitely better than not having her involved, right?"

Chen Luo offered Otto an irresistible price.

“I can agree to let Yae Sakura participate in this rescue operation. Of course, I would also like to ask, how do you plan to carry out the rescue?” Otto then asked.

To be honest, this method of saving Kallen was quite unexpected for Otto. He didn't expect that this method might be the reason for Kallen's successful resurrection.

From a universal rational perspective, this is indeed a method, but no one could have come up with it.

Therefore, all of Otto's original dozens of possible outcomes and resurrection plans were rendered useless, which is why Otto discussed it with Chen Luo.

"Sigh, as long as we can see Karen, these problems are no longer important. Why don't you just knock her out and bring her to the present civilization?"

"You could also knock her unconscious and make up a lie, like she's already died once."

"Of course, all of this will still involve us staging a scene of Karen being killed in front of you and the world. After all, fate cannot be changed, but destiny can be played."

"So, is your Karen clone ready?" Chen Luo asked.

“Ready.” Otto nodded.

In fact, after confirming that Chen Luo's resurrection of Cecilia could indeed lead to the resurrection of Kallen, Otto had already prepared a copy of Kallen.

Unlike the Gray Serpent, Otto spent a great deal of manpower and resources to bring the clone Kallen close to the same level as when she was alive, ensuring that her strength would not decrease or that she would lose her memory after being resurrected.

In some ways, this is much more considerate than the Gray Snake.

This is quite normal, since Gray Serpent isn't familiar with Cecilia or Yae Rin. If Gray Serpent were to prepare the materials to revive Kevin, then the level of effort Gray Serpent would put in would be beyond question.

Gray Serpent even specially prepared a Chi You to serve as a power bank for Kevin when he returned from the Sea of ​​Quanta, and also retrieved Kevin's original weapon, which can be said to be extremely thoughtful.

"Is your clone ready?" Chen Luo then asked.

"Hmm?" Otto frowned.

What does this have to do with me?

"You're not planning to go see Kallen with this Soul Steel body, are you? For such a grand occasion, why don't you use a human body?" Chen Luo pointed at Otto's body.

"...But all I have now is a Soul Steel body."

"What about your original human body?"

“It’s frozen solid. And it’s too weak. Transforming a human body into one with consciousness housed in a soul steel body isn’t difficult, but the reverse… it’s impossible.” Otto shook his head.

"But isn't there someone right in front of you who can do it? So, do you need any help?" Chen Luo pointed to himself and then gave a big smile.

"But my original statement was that my frozen body was very weak."

"It's alright, I can quickly duplicate your body, then give you a boost, and while I'm at it, I can transfer your soul into a human body, preserving the effect of your consciousness data being uploaded immediately after death. How about that?"

How many raw stones do you think this service is worth? Name your price.

"If it's possible, then I'll trouble you." Otto nodded to Chen Luo.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

【One-stop service】: Give Otto a one-stop service, copy an enhanced body for him, restore his soul, and then configure him to immediately upload his consciousness to another soul steel body after death.

Rewards: 300 Primogems + random reward + Otto's favorability +10

"emmm..."

This reward is a little bit subtle.

There aren't many raw stones, but there is a random reward.

Overall, it's not bad, but the 10 favorability points made Chen Luo a little conflicted.

Ultimately, it's because Otto's discount has now reached 7.9%.

Adding 10 points of favorability, that's a 7.4% discount.

Most importantly, Otto can gain 50 points of favorability after reviving Kallen.

This means that Chen Luo's first real same-sex friend with a 50% discount has been born, and there might even be a little bit of affection between them.

Why is Otto the first one?

Liu Wenxuan is only 5.5% off.

Chen Luo was completely baffled, but he couldn't possibly fail to complete the task.

After all, that's 300 Originium.

……

"This is your corpse? Ah, no, your body." Looking at the body lying in an ice coffin that looked exactly like Otto's, Chen Luo turned his head and asked.

"Hmm." Otto nodded.

"So here's the question: is your body still usable?"

“Yes, but it’s very weak, and it would be difficult for it to adapt in just one day,” Otto replied.

The reason for emphasizing one day is that Chen Luo said he would only go to save Karen after making all the preparations the next day.

There are so many things to prepare, because you might invite someone and then they might be executed, so you have to be fully prepared.

The reason Otto wanted to emphasize that he was too weak was because he didn't want to be completely powerless in this matter.

In terms of pure combat strength, Otto is definitely no match for Yae Sakura, especially after losing Void Manzo.

Otto would probably feel quite resentful if he couldn't take any further action to rescue Karen.

"In that case, I'll help you." Chen Luo reached out and opened the cryogenic chamber, then, braving the lingering chill, touched Otto's head and began analyzing his body.

"Hmm?" But when Chen Luo touched the other person's head after opening the cryogenic chamber which had an isolation effect, he felt something was off.

"What's wrong?" Otto asked.
