"Thank you."
Link felt the good intentions of Boss Otis and sincerely thanked him.
This is the advantage of displaying your value.
When superiors or companions see the worth you carry, the benefits you can bring to them, they will value you, and, for their own interests, protect or support you.
Otherwise, even if Link carried the name "Genius Potion Master" and had accumulated two meritorious deeds under his belt, and even if he joined the Intelligence Special Team as an invited transfer, no one would have assisted him, no one was willing to stand up for him and stop Lokan, when he was clearly targeted for oppression by the Lokan Wizard.
Even Assad's initial reaction was to watch and laugh.
Although this matter had passed, Link reminded himself of it from time to time to encourage himself to keep going.
If one does not strive for self-improvement, one cannot stand on their own.
Before becoming powerful, learning to use others' momentum wisely can also be a temporary measure.
