After the repair work at the Kolostein Research Institute was completed, Charlotte immediately took Luo Lin to the medical facility under Schicksal for a check-up—Schicksal's medical standards were not to be underestimated, and the doctor quickly gave a response.
"The work pressure is too great. I'll prescribe some medication to alleviate the symptoms, but this is just a temporary solution. I suggest taking a leave of absence to rest and do something that can heal both your body and mind, to adjust your state."
"Oh, thank you, doctor."
Charlotte suddenly spoke up, "Doctor, this Valkyrie has never used her annual leave before. Could you give her some advice so she doesn't foolishly go back to work again?"
"There are workaholics like this? You should go see a psychologist first before coming to me."
So they went to see a psychologist, and under the guidance of the doctor, Luo Lin filled out a bunch of forms and walked around some very futuristic-looking apparatus.
The psychologist signed the printed test results and casually said, "I've seen cases like yours a lot. Just taking annual leave probably won't allow you to rest properly. Let me tell you a little trick—go to your boss and ask for some voluntary work, like teaching at the Schicksal-affiliated orphanage..."
The doctor winked and stopped there.
Luo Lin was greatly shocked. There was such a tactic?
And then... the girl handed the examination results and the report requesting voluntary labor to her supervisor, and smoothly obtained permission to leave.
The supervisor looked touched, wiping her eyes, "Watching you lose weight day by day recently, we all were worried. We thought we did something to upset you..."
"Huh? It's not that serious..."
The surrounding colleagues seemed to quiet down, mechanically moving their hands as if pretending to work, their ears perked up, clearly eavesdropping.
Was Schicksal's atmosphere always this relaxed? Luo Lin felt like she had transmigrated into Theresa's Saint Freya Academy again.
When did she become so close with her boss? Did she do something? Its been several weeks after all.
"Are you underestimating your relationship with everyone? Are you so lacking in confidence?"
The supervisor looked at Luo Lin's bewildered yet incredulous expression, squinting slightly.
In the increasingly frequent Eruptions, every Valkyrie of Schicksal felt the burden and pressure becoming heavier and heavier. With the second Eruption happening just a few years after the first, the wounds from before had not yet healed... In their hearts, they couldn't help but raise some doubts: Can humanity really overcome Honkai?
But this person in front of them, who seemed to be a bit clueless, had never worried about this aspect. She always exuded a positive aura, seeming to make herself happy every day and greeting others lightly.
After all, no one understood Honkai Impact 3rd like Luo Lin!
This was a world full of love, peace, and hope! Look, even the stories after the Honkai Eruption happened, she knew them all. Humanity will definitely win.
"Good morning, everyone! Today is another day full of hope!"
"Work completed successfully! I'm going out to buy some drinks. Does anyone need me to get anything?"
"Oh, that looks delicious. I'll try that dish next time... What? Share a bite with me? Then I'll exchange this piece of meat!"
"Darn it, I really want to see the new weapons in the equipment department... My handgun is really lame..."
At least in the Logistics and Intelligence Department, Luo Lin, with her unique methods, relieved everyone's stress and became friends with everyone. But... it seemed that she herself was not aware of what role she played.
Some things lose their effectiveness once said aloud. The supervisor understood this principle deeply, so she smiled and gave another explanation, "You always help everyone complete their work actively, bring snacks to work, frequently share stories and jokes... You are our friend, our companion—right, everyone?"
"Yes!"
"That's right!"
"Does the little cutie need a hug from her big sister?"
"Forget it, Luo Lin belongs to everyone!"
A group of people laughed and cheered, and Luo Lin's anxious heart finally relaxed.
It's really strange, she felt like her days here were no different from the usual antics she had with a group of friends back in university. Could it be that Overseer Otto's pressure on everyone was too great, and her slacking attitude was shining brightly?
..then she might consider doubling her work then.
Luo Lin thought so, completely unaware of her workaholic aura.
"Finally, you finally decided to take a leave of absence, and even used some tricks to extend your vacation... cough cough, anyway, everyone has seen how hard you've been working these days. I originally wanted to find an opportunity to talk to you about this, but I didn't expect you to suddenly come to your senses."
The supervisor opened her computer, clicked on something, and then turned the screen to Luo Lin. "Take a look, these are the recent voluntary work projects..."
As Luo Lin scrolled down, most of the work revolved around matters derived from Schicksal's bases around the world, with the most numerous tasks related to orphanages and sanatoriums—The disasters brought by the Honkai were not just momentary; they were long-lasting and required enough time to heal the wounds.
Luo Lin knew a bit about it. It was Otto's idea specifically to build orphanages and sanatoriums under Schicksal's name to help those who suffered from the Honkai.
This initiative not only conveyed a positive impression to governments around the world but also gathered talents to combat the Eruption—At least it took enough luck, or resistance to the Honkai, to survive the Eruption. Many of these survivors stood with Schicksal and contributed to the fight against the Eruption.
It was a multi-faceted gain. Truly worthy of being the Overseer.
Oh, right, hasn't little Bianka not officially joined the Valkyrie team of Schicksal during this time? She seemed to be staying at an orphanage in France... Why not go see little Bianka?
Luo Lin clicked on the facility in France and found that there was only one specialized orphanage in the whole of France. It seemed that little Bianka was staying there. So she closed her eyes and pointed her finger at the facility.
"France, huh, let's go to the orphanage... Luo Lin, I suspect you're not going to relax, but to seek trouble."
Faced with the supervisor's strange gaze, Luo Lin appeared nonchalant, with a carefree smile, "We can't compare to the political maneuvering with various governments, dealing with difficult situations... I just really like kids."
There were a few chuckles behind the girl. She turned her head, and everyone's expressions were quite amusing.
"Uh, don't force yourself..."
"Prepare more candy!"
"Be patient!"
"If all else fails, spank them!"
Clearly, someone was giving random advice, and the Valkyries laughed and joked again.
The supervisor shrugged and pressed the enter key, "Alright, I hope you take care of yourself, come back with more energy, and take care of your health... French cuisine is actually quite delicious."
"Okay."
A warm current flowed through Luo Lin's heart.
So, unconsciously, she had already integrated into this world.
