[After spending an afternoon accompanying Clara and helping Clara, Clara feels that you are like her father, always knowing what she needs. You have formed a father-daughter relationship. Hearing Clara sweetly call you "Father," your emotions are inexpressibly complex. At thirty years old, you are filled with emotion, feeling that your old father's life has officially begun—though it will likely be chaotic due to Clara's "help." Gain a choice reward (Clara's Power of the Path branch skill—[Family], when attacked, there is a 35% fixed chance to remove 1 negative effect from yourself).]
Lin Mo truly hadn't expected that this option's objective would be completed in such a way.
For Klee to call him Father and also complete this option at the same time, it truly had a dramatic flair.
However, this reward was a bit strange.
As Lin Mo thought this, a sudden power descended from the sky, like an invisible wind, silently entering his body.
This power was more like a gift from the void.
Warm and gentle, yet with an ineffable sense of mystery.
As the power entered Lin Mo's body, a strange sensation quickly spread.
He felt as if his body was gently enveloped by some invisible energy.
The power flowed like a stream through his limbs and bones, as if it was slowly washing away the fatigue and the hidden damage from prolonged training within his body.
He could clearly feel that this power was gentle and precise; wherever it passed, it brought an unprecedented sense of comfort, as if certain parts of his body had been completely repaired.
"This..."
Lin Mo frowned, looking down at his hands.
He raised his hands, examining them carefully, but could not see any obvious changes.
However, he could feel a layer of gentle power covering his entire body like an invisible armor.
His breathing became lighter, and the flow of chakra within his body was smoother than before, even with a completely different sense of lightness.
"What kind of power is this...?"
Lin Mo murmured to himself, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
He tried to mobilize the energy within his body but found that this power was not as violent and uncontrollable as the Power of the Path of Destruction.
Instead, it seemed exceptionally gentle, even implicitly carrying a sense of protection.
Lin Mo tried to take a step and found that his body seemed more agile.
Whether it was the reaction speed of his muscles or his body, everything seemed more coordinated and smooth than before, as if it had been readjusted.
Moreover, he even vaguely felt a strange sense of security, as if some invisible force was silently protecting him.
"No, this power... is not the Power of the Path of Destruction."
Lin Mo stood still, his brows tightly furrowed, trying to recall the feeling he had just experienced.
He was very familiar with the Power of the Path of Destruction; it was a violent and oppressive energy.
But now, this power was completely different; it had neither destructive properties nor the characteristic of devouring everything. Instead, it was like a form of protection and support.
He tried to mobilize this power again but found it to be exceptionally subtle.
It seemed not to be within the scope of his active control.
Instead, it was like a passive barrier that would automatically activate when he needed it.
"It can't be Preservation, can it?"
Lin Mo's expression suddenly became incredibly strange.
"Brother Lin Mo."
At this moment, Klee, seeing Lin Mo silent, looked at him eagerly.
She had been waiting for Lin Mo's response but had not received one.
"Alright, alright, I won't run away."
Hearing Klee's words, Lin Mo came back to his senses.
Looking at Klee's expectant gaze, Lin Mo shook his head and chuckled: "Let's talk about it after you come out. However, we'll have to discuss the bomb situation again then."
"Okay!"
Hearing this, Klee jumped up happily, a smile returning to her face.
Then she tugged at Lin Mo's sleeve and swayed it again, saying coaxingly, "Brother Lin Mo is the best! Then Klee is going! Remember to wait for me!"
Lin Mo gently patted her head, "Go on, don't dawdle. The sooner you go back and admit your mistake, the sooner your confinement will end."
Klee nodded vigorously, slung her big backpack over her shoulders, and skipped away.
Her clear voice drifted from afar: "Brother Lin Mo, you must wait for me! Don't run away!"
Lin Mo watched her disappearing figure at the end of the road, pinching his chin in thought.
Building a good relationship with Klee certainly has its benefits.
Klee corresponds to Clara; will there be fewer rewards in the future?
"But first, I'll go to the Adventurers' Guild to hand in the quest."
Thinking this, Lin Mo walked towards Mondstadt.
Soon, Lin Mo arrived at the entrance of Mondstadt.
"Lin Mo, you're back."
The Knights of Favonius stationed at Mondstadt's gate, seeing Lin Mo return, quickly said: "Don't wander around recklessly now that you're back. It seems terrifying monsters have appeared again, this time towards the northwest of Cider Lake, causing a huge commotion. If you were still outside, the risk would be even greater."
Lin Mo: "..."
Hearing this, Lin Mo's mouth twitched slightly.
To some extent, he also bore some "responsibility" for this.
"I understand, thank you for the reminder."
Lin Mo thanked him politely, then chatted with this Knight of Favonius for a bit before heading to the Adventurers' Guild.
"Welcome back, Adventurer Lin Mo."
Upon arriving at the Adventurers' Guild, Katheryne immediately bowed politely to Lin Mo: "How may I help you?"
"To hand in a quest."
Lin Mo said, taking out the small lamp grass.
Immediately, after Katheryne's handover, he received a bag of mora.
"Let's go visit and eat a meal first."
After getting the mora, Lin Mo walked in the direction of the Good Hunter Restaurant.
He never shortchanged himself when it came to food and drink.
At the same time, Lin Mo also opened his panel.
Name: Lin Mo
Age: Thirty
World: Honkai: Star Rail World
Talent: None
Path Skills: I Want to Help Too (Clara), Family (Clara)
Attribute: Physical
Evaluation: Thirty years of stumbling seem meaningless, but the wheels of fate have finally begun to turn, and you stand at the starting point of change.
"No talent, physical attribute. What kind of attribute is this?"
Looking at his panel, Lin Mo pinched his chin, lost in thought.
Is it because of Clara's skills?
As Lin Mo was thinking this,
Knights of Favonius Headquarters.
