a relationship with Clara (Fourth Update)
"Hmm?"
Seeing the suddenly appearing text and options, Lin Mo frowned and subconsciously looked around.
There was nothing.
What met his eyes, besides trees and grass in all directions, were no other monsters.
Neither Hilichurls nor wild wolves, not even small animals.
In this situation, how could anyone have seen it?
Although there was a little Klee beside him, Lin Mo knew that Klee was not counted.
How strange.
Lin Mo looked around, very puzzled.
It couldn't be ants, could it?
Lin Mo was very speechless.
He looked up at the sky again, and there was nothing special, so he rubbed his temples.
Forget it.
If soldiers come, block them; if water comes, cover it with earth.
Anyway, he had already initially mastered a small movement of the Power of the Path, so he didn't need to worry too much about facing some monsters later.
Unless, he encountered a Hilichurl Shaman.
"Ah! Bombs..."
At this moment, Klee regained her senses, excitedly put the bombs back into her backpack, and patted her chest: "Great, I saved bombs again! But Big Brother, you are so amazing, your movements just now were really cool!"
As she spoke, Klee excitedly looked at Lin Mo again, and very familiarly tugged on Lin Mo's pants: "Thank you for helping Klee out today."
"Swish!"
Just as Klee finished speaking, new text appeared on the blue panel in front of them, instantly attracting Lin Mo's gaze.
[Because you easily dealt with the Wanderer, helped Clara, and resolved the predicament Clara encountered, Clara is very grateful to you and actively thanked you. Facing the pure-eyed, very grateful Clara, you decide to establish... with Clara.]
[Option One: Stranger Relationship. Because Clara was adopted by Svarog, Svarog is very hostile to humans other than Clara. Any human approaching Clara will be targeted by Svarog and will suffer Svarog's iron fist attack at any time and anywhere. (Reward: Svarog's mechanical arm, Svarog's mechanical arm, which can be perfectly installed and integrated onto one's shoulder, replacing the original arm to control the mechanical arm to grab and control enemies, deliver heavy blows to targets, or be used for some daily tasks)]
[Option Two: Debt Relationship. Facing the innocent Clara, you choose to put on a stern face, stare into her eyes, and aggressively say: "Kid, if it weren't for me today, you would have been captured by those Wanderers! This is a life-saving grace, do you know how to repay a life-saving grace? It's simple—you now owe me a life!" "From today on, you are my debtor! Until you repay, you must listen to me, obey without question! No bargaining! Clara must genuinely agree from the bottom of her heart. (Reward: Clara's leg ring, a ring worn on Clara's leg for many years. Due to long-term wear, in addition to the maiden's body fragrance, it is even imbued with the aura of the Path of Destruction. Wearing it may also lead one to tread the Path of Destruction, and it can also be used as a weapon.)]
[Option Three: Father-Daughter Relationship. You might try to persuade Clara and Clara's family. You also want to take care of Clara and are willing to become Clara's father, protect Clara, and have Clara call you 'father' personally. (Reward: Clara's Power of the Path branch skill—[Family]. When attacked, there is a fixed 35% chance to remove 1 negative effect from oneself.)]
Lin Mo: "..."
Looking at the three options that appeared on the panel, Lin Mo's eyelids twitched wildly.
He suddenly fell silent on the spot.
What kind of options are these?
These three options are simply outrageous.
From the rewards, they are not bad, but the options given are very bad.
The first option, Stranger Relationship, cannot be achieved.
Because Klee had already grabbed his pants, he couldn't just turn around and leave without a word.
He couldn't do such a thing.
However, he could try to leave without looking back, if he were to achieve Option One, Stranger.
But the reality is, getting along well with Klee has only benefits and no drawbacks.
Why should he put on a bad face for a cute little girl?
The second option was even more absurd to the extreme.
What the hell is a Debt Relationship.
If he chose to do this, he would have to say these things to Klee and get her to agree.
Genuine agreement from the heart, otherwise, he wouldn't get the reward.
He didn't even need to think; Klee would definitely return to Mondstadt and tell Acting Grand Master Jean and the others from the Knights of Favonius about today's events.
Even if Klee agreed, and he got Clara's leg band, what he would gain was the animosity of all the Vision Holders in Mondstadt.
His reputation would be completely ruined. He even tricked a little girl?
He had no doubt that Klee would return to Mondstadt in the afternoon, and his reputation would spread throughout Mondstadt by evening.
Moreover, he couldn't even bring himself to say such words.
After all, even without him, Klee didn't need him to worry.
Were the Pyro Vision and the bombs in her bag a joke?
As for the third option, it was even more outrageously absurd.
What the heck was this father-daughter relationship?
He had to find Klee's family and tell them he wanted to be Klee's father, making Klee call him 'Dad'.
Klee's mother was Alice, known as the Witch, not to mention Klee was entrusted to the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt.
Acting Grand Master Jean could be said to be Klee's guardian.
And all the other Vision Holders treated Klee like family. If they knew he was trying to trick Klee into letting him be her father, he had no doubt his reputation would spread throughout Mondstadt.
Furthermore, what sinister intentions would a young man have, tricking a little girl and wanting to be her father?
"What idiotic options are these?"
Lin Mo looked at all three options, speechless.
Damn it, the options given by this system were absolutely insane.
He didn't even need to think; the first and third options were good, but the problem was they couldn't be accomplished.
The reward for the second option was not practical compared to the other two.
The problem was that the first option could be done, but he couldn't use the mechanical arm he would get.
Although it could be perfectly integrated, the thought of not even having human arms and turning into Svarog's mechanical arm... that image... it seemed only the third option was left?
But how could the third option possibly be completed?
He was stuck.
Looking at the three options, Lin Mo had a melancholic expression.
Damn it.
So, tasks could keep triggering?
The problem was, if you're going to trigger them, can't you give some normal ones?
"Big brother?"
At this moment, Klee, seeing Lin Mo not speaking, immediately tugged tightly on his pants, her big eyes blinking: "Do you dislike little Klee?"
Lin Mo: "..."
Lin Mo could already imagine that if he said he disliked her, and Klee went back heartbroken and told everyone what happened...
The others in the Knights of Favonius would beat him up.
Lin Mo was speechless.
Although Klee was unintentional, what she said might be taken seriously by others.
Even if she didn't say it, if someone asked, Klee would definitely tell them.
And most importantly, he couldn't possibly dislike Klee.
Getting along well with Klee meant getting along well with the Knights of Favonius, which would only bring benefits, not drawbacks.
"No need to be polite, it was just a small favor."
Facing Klee's thanks, Lin Mo adjusted himself, shaking his head and chuckling.
Immediately, thinking of his task, Lin Mo instructed Klee: "Alright, you should also go back early. It's not very safe here."
Although Klee had bombs and a Pyro Vision.
But once surrounded by monsters, it was still a bit dangerous.
Of course, he wasn't too worried about Klee's safety.
"Big brother, aren't you going back?"
Hearing Lin Mo's words and seeing him about to leave, Klee quickly followed, skipping along and saying: "We can go back together. When we get back, I'll treat you to a meal. You helped me today too."
"I still have a task I haven't finished."
Hearing Klee's words, Lin Mo paused, saying: "As for eating, we can do that next time if there's an opportunity."
"A task? What task?"
Hearing Lin Mo's words, Klee quickly said: "Klee can help too."
"Collecting some small lamp grass."
Lin Mo spoke softly, and Klee exclaimed "Eh?": "small lamp grass? Klee has some."
Saying that, Klee quickly opened her backpack and took out three small lamp grass from it.
Handing them to Lin Mo, she squinted her eyes and said: "Here, Klee has three small lamp grass. I picked them because I saw them and thought of bringing them back for Sister Sucrose, but if big brother needs them, Klee can give them to you."
"Three, huh."
Hearing Klee's words and seeing the small lamp grass in her hand, Lin Mo said softly: "That's not enough, I need twelve."
"Oh, I see. Then Klee will take you there."
Klee squinted her eyes and said: "Klee knows where there are extra small lamp grass. Klee was also planning to go to those places to collect them."
"It's just that today I wanted to retrieve the bombs I buried, so I didn't collect more, but Klee has a map!"
Saying that, Klee quickly pulled a map from her bosom.
Hearing Klee's words, Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.
In this way, it was like finding something unexpectedly after a long search, without any effort.
He didn't even need to think; this resource map in Klee's hand belonged to other Vision Holders.
With this map, he could complete the task better and faster.
