Mio could practically be called a workaholic superhuman. After staying up all night playing Oath Cards, she went straight to work at her company the next morning.
Carl was worried the entire ti that this player lady he had just finished conquering would suddenly drop dead from overwork.
But according to Mio herself.
The company she worked at was a film and television production company, and her position involved video editing.
The work benefits were very good, and recently their company had not received many orders, so she could totally go to the company and catch up on sleep.
Go to the company to catch up on sleep? What kind of heavenly company was that?
Fine, Carl did not bother her anymore.
Because today just so happened to be the ti for Oath's banner characters... launch performance summary.
It was also the day when Carl and those banner characters could finally receive their wages after acting in that school detective drama with the players for so long.
However, Carl did not have much expectation for his share of the wages.
Because during the three days after launch... the only player Carl had truly interacted with was Mio.
Mm... As for the other hoarder and map-clearing players Carl had been keeping an eye on, none of them had gone off-rate in their pulls.
There was even one lucky bastard who got double gold in ten pulls, while Mio spent more than 150 pulls and could not even get Hasumi's 0 1.
In other words, she could not pull both the limited character herself and her signature weapon.
That lucky bastard directly got Hasumi's 1 1 full form in thirty pulls.
It could only be said that the gap between people was truly bigger than the gap between humans and dogs.
To sum it up, among the players Carl had been keeping an eye on, the only one whose gar heart had shattered was Mio.
The other players Carl was watching were all enjoying the feeling that Oath was simply the best ga in the world because their pulls had not gone off-rate.
Unfortunately, Carl's current strength was far too limited.
Even if he split his consciousness, he could only keep an eye on a dozen or so players at the sa ti.
On the third day after Oath's launch, most players had already finished the ga's main story and killed Carl, who served as the final boss.
It was not because these players were especially good at grinding. The main reason was that Oath Version 1.0's main story only took six hours at most.
But Carl was not in a hurry either. He needed to strengthen his main body first.
When most Oath players kept grinding until the ga's later stages and entered the content drought where there was not much left to play.
Carl would have plenty of ti and thods to win these players over.
"The key is... improving the strength of my main body?"
A card representing the Extraordinary Power given to him by Elysium appeared in Carl's hand.
The level players saw and the level of ga characters like Carl were not the sa concept.
Because Oath was a mobile ga, players had many characters to raise, and the ga planners were very generous with upgrade thods.
EXP dungeons, paid EXP pack items.
In short, if players wanted to max out a ga character's level cap, which was level 60, it only took one or two days.
But for banner characters like Carl, reaching level 60 rely restored the strength they were originally supposed to have in the main world.
The main world referred to the world without players, the world where the main bodies of ga characters like Carl lived, and also the world where ga characters rested.
As for electronic lifeforms like Carl, the level that truly represented a ga character's strength was called "data volu."
"Why does this data volu level feel like combat power?" Carl looked at his current data volu level.
This thing was also very simple to asure. It was just one number.
Carl's current data volu level was 300.
This level represented how many complex data calculations Carl, as an electronic lifeform, could perform at the sa ti, as well as how many different threads he could split his consciousness into.
A data volu of around 300 looked like a lot.
But it could only allow Carl to peek at a dozen or so players at the sa ti, or support Mio playing Oath Cards all day long.
As a ga console, this kind of performance was seriously unqualified.
Out of curiosity, Carl also checked the data volu of Oath's other banner characters.
Perhaps because everyone worked for the sa company, this data was public on the academy's internal magic network.
Carl took out a device that looked like a phone. This thing was Elysium Academy's personal device terminal.
To put it plainly, it was a phone issued by the planners to ga characters for contact and various notifications.
At present, Oath's most eye-catching five-star limited character, the knight princess Hasumi, had a data volu level of 11,800.
"This... counts as one of the strong ones among the younger generation?" Only after seeing this knight lady's data level did Carl realize just how weak he was.
The average data level of the other standard characters was also around 10,000, and that Annihilation guy's data volu level was a full 19,000.
He was indeed the strongest among the current eight students. Unfortunately, being a male character hard him, causing him to be completely unable to squeeze into the limited banner.
Even Carl's loyal little maid had a data level of 1,050.
"So... I'm actually this weak?"
After Carl realized that he urgently needed to strengthen himself, a wage notification finally popped up on the academy's internal interactive magic network.
As expected, the sales champion on Oath's first day after launch was Hasumi.
Although the specific data was not released, the launch revenue at least reached the exaggerated result of breaking one hundred million.
"Let see..." Carl used a thod more like that of a mobile ga player to asure the revenue of Hasumi's banner.
Carl directly opened a ranking list called the Global All-Platform App Best-Seller Chart.
Right now, Oath was ranked third on this chart!
And on Oath's first day after launch, it had stayed at number one on this chart for the entire day, and maintained that position for a full two days.
"Forty-eight hours at number one, surpassing the app with the highest standard sales for seventy-two hours. Judging from the current trend, it's very possible to reach an excellent result of over one hundred hours?"
"This really makes money. I wonder how long this kind of popularity can last."
The one ranked second in revenue was that standard banner mature mage lady character.
Although the standard banner was a pile of characters mixed together, Oath was very conscientious and gave it a target selection chanism.
In other words, whichever five-star character you wanted to pull, you could directly select a target and increase that character's pull rate.
It seed quite a few players had been attracted by that mature lady character's voluptuous figure. This was truly a case of the little head controlling the big head.
As for lowly three-star characters like Carl, and bundled four-star characters like the little maid Irene, they were not qualified to receive a revenue share.
But Carl had not expected to rely on tricking players out of their money to receive wages anyway. He placed his attention on another tric.
A tric that might be even more important than revenue.
If the revenue tric was the tric that Oath's ga company cared about the most.
Then the player popularity tric might be the tric that Elysium, the foundation of everything in the world of Oath, cared about most.
Carl first opened Hasumi's player popularity tric to check it.
Soon, a large pile of detailed data was listed above.
---
No Feeling Players: 5.43 million. These players have no interest in the character at all, to the point that they do not even have the thought of pulling her, or they did not obtain the character.
ta Players: 3.01 million. These players only like the character's strength and have no interest in the character's design, story, experiences, personality, and so on.
True Love Players: 1.85 million. These players like everything related to the character, whether it is her design, personality, experiences, or strength. They are the backbone of the character's fanbase.
Fanatics: 0. On top of liking everything about the character... after spending a long ti together with the character in the ga, they further regard the character as one of the most important existences in their life. Any act of insulting or nerfing the character, even if done by the ga officials, will be attacked by this type of player.

"This classification is really... fitting." Carl sighed.
Oath had been online for less than three days, yet Hasumi already had quite a number of True Love Players.
If these True Love Players still chose Hasumi after the next limited banner, the Saintess banner, opened, and did not abandon her to go find a new woman.
Or even after multiple version updates, when Hasumi's strength could no longer keep up with the version, they could still say to her, what if I never cared about your strength in the first place?
Then... they could probably be promoted to the level of Fanatics.
Following Hasumi, Carl glanced at the character ranked second in popularity.
As expected... it was the little maid Irene, who had been trained by him.
---
No Feeling Players: 130,000.
ta Players: 7.54 million.
True Love Players: 2.52 million.
Fanatics: 0.

My god! Lady Irene...
Carl had actually already had a premonition that after launch, Irene would absolutely beco a character everyone had to pull at least one copy of.
This made Carl log into a certain small-TV website in this world and search for the keywords Oath Irene.
The titles that popped up were all...
> "The Underlying Logic of Oath, the Four-Star Character Newbies Must Pull!"
> "Great God Irene Needs No Explanation! One Ultimate Doubles the Main DPS's Output!"
> "Oath Full Character Strength Tier List From God-Tier to Trash, the One True God Irene's Value Is Beyond Question."
"Looks like the fan-made videos related to gacha gas in this world... aren't much different from Earth."
After Carl briefly browsed through them, with a large number of guide creators strongly recomnding her and the support of fan-made videos.
Irene being a must-pull newbie war god, super strong at zero souls, complete at one soul, and an overtuned T0 Support at full six souls had already beco common knowledge among Oath players.
Then Carl still checked his own popularity and revenue data.
