After all, Theresa really did rebel, and no matter how much Otto loved her, he would never ignore her in this regard.
What a hassle.
When I got to St. Freya's College, I still had to work hard to maintain my image...
What kind of human suffering is this?
"Reputation..."
When Theresa heard this word, she wanted to ask with self-awareness, "Do I really have this thing?"
But in the end, she gave up the idea.
Although she and Lin Yu first met because she had a car accident, Lin Yu didn't mention it now, so Theresa certainly didn't want to bring it up on her own initiative.
The reason is simple: it's too embarrassing.
During the second collapse, she was defeated after a fierce battle with the Second Herrscher.
As a result, fourteen years later, she couldn't even defeat the Pseudo-Hermitor.
Although she lost the battle this time and also because she wanted to save the unfortunate child, Theresa still felt that she had really embarrassed herself this time.
Oh, the place where the car crashed was in the Far East.
This is even more embarrassing.
"Forget it, don't mention this anymore."
At this time, Theresa looked at Lin Yu, who was in deep thought, and said to him again.
"Okay, even though you're my subordinate, you can relax a little."
"We are not on a mission right now. This is just a private conversation between a superior and a subordinate."
But Otto will definitely keep an eye on this conversation.
Looking at Lin Yu who said nothing, Theresa said to Lin Yu.
"Grandpa has already told me about you, but I think you won't be able to use the best equipment now."
"So now, you can tell me what equipment you are used to using, and then I will go to the headquarters to apply for the corresponding equipment according to your requirements."
"When you become familiar with the low-level equipment, Grandpa promised me that he would give you equipment of the Throne of the Gods level."
"Well, your sister Rita is currently using equipment of this level, so you can rest assured about the equipment."
The throne of the gods...
This thing is already one of the strongest series of weapons after the Key of God.
[Heh, no matter how good the equipment is, it can't change the fact that Otto is going to use you. After realizing this, your heart has not wavered at all.]
[And to put it bluntly, the weapons of the Gods are forged from soul steel. If Otto had less soul steel for his body, the equipment of the other Valkyries could at least be upgraded by one level.]
This is a rare time when I agree with you.
But giving up his own interests for the sake of others, and those people are not close to him - if Otto really did such a thing, I think I would be even more scared.
There must be some hidden meaning behind his actions. This person's actions with hidden meaning will only harm others subjectively and harm his teammates passively.
If I could help it, I really don't want to see what Otto starts doing.
But now... forget it, stop talking and just keep a 'restrained' demeanor.
"Hey, you..."
Seeing that Lin Yu was too reserved to speak much, Theresa always felt a little angry but couldn't lose her temper.
Alas, grandpa.
Why do I always feel that he was frightened by your actions at that time?
Now that I think about it carefully, Lin Yu's stigma was fine on the way here, but it exploded when he saw his grandfather - this must be something that his grandfather was planning to do to him, but he went too far, so Lin Yu's stigma had problems.
"Forget it, it's not your fault."
Thinking of this possibility, Theresa continued to speak to Lin Yu.
"And one more thing."
"We, the Apokalis, have never been a family bound by blood."
"From ancient times to the present, the Apokalis have been constantly absorbing the most promising people in the world."
"Grandpa asked me to ask you if you are interested in joining our clan. As the head of the Apokalis clan, I agree with Grandpa's idea."
At this moment, Lin Yu saw something in Theresa that he thought he could not see in this woman.
Theresa, who was looking at Lin Yu seriously at this time, did make Lin Yu feel a little "majesty".
"Now, I, Theresa Apokalis, as the head of the Apokalis clan, solemnly ask you."
"Lin Yu, the agent of destiny, are you willing to become a citizen, change your surname, and join our Apokalis clan?"
..
Chapter 81. Rita's Hug
"Are you willing to become a citizen and change your surname to join our Apokalis clan?"
[The Apokalis clan? Haha, the bishop clan of the three royal families of destiny. For other people in this ordinary world, being able to join this clan may be equivalent to walking on the road to prosperity. ]
[But you know very well that you are different from others, and you don’t need to rely on the reputation of this clan.]
[After all, you have a system that is bad-mouthed but still gives rewards. This dog system is not much more reliable than the so-called Apokalypse clan. ]
Sometimes I feel like you're a little...
I don’t even know what to say since I’m scolding myself.
But...well, now I'm an actor, just keep acting.
Looking into Theresa's eyes, Lin Yu was silent for a while, then shook his head slightly at Theresa.
"I'm sorry, Branch Chief Theresa."
"Thank you for your invitation, but I think that I am unable to join the Apokalis clan due to some personal reasons."
"Oh?"
Hearing Lin Yu's unexpected words, Theresa asked with a little curiosity.
"you sure?"
"I'm not trying to threaten you or seduce you, but after joining our clan, you will have more say and a higher status, and Grandpa will trust you more."
"Having the right to speak and the status, as well as the trust of the bishop, is equivalent to a lot more convenience for you who want to fight against the collapse."
"That's right."
At this time, after Lin Yu had removed his cold-faced characteristic, he said to Theresa with a little helplessness.
"But to join the Apokalis clan, according to you, I have to become a citizen and change my last name, right?"
"To be honest, if we follow this statement, Yu Apokalis... this name is very strange."
"Besides, Lin Yu is the name my parents gave me. If possible... I don't want to give it up."
......This child actually refused to join the Apokalis clan for this reason.
Looking at the young man in front of her, Theresa did see a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Before, based on what Otto said, Theresa thought that this boy had become the kind of vengeful ghost who was willing to give up everything to fight against Honkai.
But now it seems that Lin Yu is not as extreme as Otto described.
Even though his family members have passed away, he still values the name they left for him.
For Theresa, who has seen many radical younger generations, it is already a very commendable act that she still does not want to forget the ties between her name and her family.
At this point, Theresa had to admit that as a senior, even if she put aside the fact that he was her savior, she was a little fond of this young man.
It wasn't a liking between opposite sexes, but as a senior who fought against Honkai, she saw something she hoped to see in her juniors.
At this moment, Theresa's eyes turned and she immediately said to Lin Yu.
"This...this is actually not a big deal!"
"Although it was my grandfather who asked me to change my surname, it's not a big problem to handle it as a special case."
"You don't have to change your name even if you become a citizen - I am the chief of the Apokalis clan, and I have the final say!"
"That's it."
After hearing this, Lin Yu bowed slightly to Theresa.
"Well...hello, Chief."
[Haha! Wonderful! After removing your cold face, you relied on your inner helplessness and pretended to be unable to forget your family, successfully deceiving this white-haired idiot! ]
[You have gained the benefits of joining the Apokalis clan, and your character has been established. Theresa has also developed a good impression of you because of your action and trusts you even more.]
[Although the title characteristics also play a role in this, this system has to admit that you can achieve this effect with just a few words - you are indeed much better than this system imagined in this regard! ]
Come on, I didn’t think that much.
I simply didn't want to embarrass Otto and was too lazy to change my name, so I just gave it a try.
After all, I'm just taking advantage of Theresa to fool her.
Lying is not a good thing, there is no need to exaggerate so much.
[There's no need to exaggerate so much. You really do think so in your heart.]
[After all, for you, now that you have special items and skill bonuses such as Clear Mirror and Cold-Faced Handsome Man, you can tell a big lie without changing your expression or heartbeat.]
[You can even fool Otto, so you really don't need to take fooling Theresa to heart. ]
[No one can see through the mask you wear, and no one can know your heart. ]
......I always feel like there's something else behind your words.
At this moment, a character introduction template suddenly popped up in front of Lin Yu.
[Name: Theresa Apokalis]
[Identity: Former S-class Valkyrie of Destiny, current head of the Far East branch, head of the Apokalis clan, your boss.]
[Current Favorability: 20]
[Note: Under your guidance, she thinks you are an excellent junior who is worth cultivating. Keep up the good work and you can definitely increase your efforts in fooling her.]
Looking at the character introduction template that popped up by the system, Lin Yu asked while looking at the template.
How do you calculate your favorability? Theresa’s is... only 20?
[Oh, when passers-by see ordinary passers-by, the score is usually 0. The favorability is based on 0. If they like you, it will increase, and if they don’t like you, it will decrease. ]
[Generally speaking, if it is greater than 0, then it does not mean that they completely hate you, but if it is less than 0, then at least they dislike you. ]
Feelings are calculated from zero, so why do I feel like something is wrong - aren't other people all cold and indifferent to the other people for dozens of times?
[Don't use other people's favorability system to apply to this system. The people who make the system are not the same. Do you think it is possible to unify the standards? ]
makes sense.
[One more thing to add: the upper limit of favorability is not 3, and ordinary women will actively increase their favorability by when they see you - after all, you are really handsome.]
......What’s the use of being handsome?
After all, thighs are unreliable. In the end, people still have to rely on themselves.
"Okay, okay, there's no need to salute for so long."
Looking at Lin Yu who was still saluting, Theresa said a little embarrassedly.
"Unless it's a particularly formal occasion, you can really relax a little bit."
After seeing the obvious distress on Lin Yu's face, Theresa suddenly said unhappily.
"After you join the Apokalis clan, the first order I give you is to smile more and stop being so serious all day long!"
