Mio's simply edited gaplay video of her playing Oath Cards was uploaded online just like that.
After uploading it, she was probably far too sleepy, so she really did go straight to the company break room for a nap.
Carl was honestly pretty envious that Mio could join a company where she could say, "I'm just going to sleep everywhere."
Then... as expected, that video...
No one watched it at all.
After Mio went offline, Carl squatted in front of that gaplay video for several hours.
The highest number of concurrent viewers was three, and the view count was only around several dozen.
"Is it because she didn't buy promotional traffic for the video?"
To be fair, Mio was not a professional gaming uploader.
But this gaplay video was still pretty entertaining. After all, she had far too many embarrassing monts while playing.
Including the first ti she played, when she confidently challenged the final hidden boss, only to get countered by the hidden boss's special effect and stomped to death, turning completely red with rage.
But... no one watched it.
"Or is it because the video is too long? I'll worry about this after Mio cos online."
Carl could not figure out the recomndation algorithm of this video site either.
However, Mio's rough cut alone was still a gaplay video over an hour long, and as an unknown uploader, it was indeed hard to attract people to click in and watch.
During this ti, after Carl finished resting, he gritted his teeth and ate another four Sacred Contract Stones.
He barely managed to raise his data volu to around 1,500, just barely reaching a passable level.
"Damn it! It feels like my muscles and bones are being torn apart. Looks like I really can't eat too many at once."
Carl lay on the ground, feeling like he did not even have the strength to lift a finger.
It was like forcing soone who had stayed indoors for years to do a full round of high-intensity fitness training. Not dropping dead on the spot was already considered good luck.
But Carl did not stay idle either. After recovering slightly, he picked up his personal information terminal and logged into the internal communication network for banner characters.
He wanted to see if there was any drama to watch among the current banner characters.
The banner characters in Elysium Academy ca from different forces in this world, so naturally, there were piles of open and hidden conflicts between them.
Previously, at the pre-battle eting, soone had questioned why Hasumi, the weakest among the five-star characters, could beco the limited character. That was one surface-level example of the struggles between the forces represented by these banner characters.
At present, the ga character factions in Oath could roughly be divided into three groups.
First, the Empire. Hasumi ca from this country, and she was the vice commander of one of its elite knight orders.
Second, the Holy Nation. This was the country most standard five-star banner characters belonged to, including that standard mage lady and standard Annihilation guy. The next limited female character was also a Saintess from the Holy Nation.
Third, the Free Alliance. This was a federation made up of multiple small countries, and its internal forces were extrely complicated. The original owner was a landless minor noble from one of those many small countries.
The competition between banner characters in Elysium Academy was essentially still a competition between the Empire and the Holy Nation.
After Carl opened the internal communication network for the banner characters of Elysium Academy, the first post he saw was one made by Hasumi.
"Everyone! I have already organized and posted here the list of Lord Saviors I encountered who require focused strategy!"
"These Lord Saviors either have extrely strong funds and financial power, relying on Paid Contract Stones alone to help awaken all of my Contract Souls, along with raising my exclusive weapon to the fifth stage."
"Or they had many Lord Saviors from other worlds visiting them within three days of launch, making them seem like well-known figures with extrely high fa."
Carl was not too sure what Hasumi's purpose was in posting this.
But she had done a good job summarizing a large number of whale players in Oath right now, as well as highly popular guide players.
However, the replies under this post were not all positive.
"Are you showing off? You only have so many Lord Saviors liking you because you have the title of limited character."
"After our Saintess arrives, let's see how many Lord Saviors are still willing to stand on your side."
The person replying to this post was none other than the standard mage lady, who had always been at odds with Hasumi.
"I am not showing off, Lady Freya. I truly wish from the bottom of my heart to save everyone."
"Whether it is the Holy Nation or the Empire, the Calamity Virus is our common enemy. Shouldn't we work together to make the Lord Saviors fall in love with this world, fall in love with us, and then have them save this world?"
Hasumi's later reply was also righteous and awe-inspiring, sounding extrely dazzling and radiant.
But in Carl's eyes, first of all, Hasumi was lying in the first half.
She was showing off! Showing off that so many whales and popular content creator players liked her.
But she was also serious about the second half.
The reason the Holy Nation and the Empire competed so fiercely was to fight for the next version of Oath to open the region where their country was located.
Only then could they let players go there and eliminate the Calamity Virus ravaging their holand.
For the sake of stirring the pot and watching drama, Carl asked a question under the post.
"Lady Hasumi has already summarized enough whale-type and opinion-leader-type Saviors. But what about the most important kind for truly charging into battle, Saviors with extrely strong combat ability?"
Hasumi replied very quickly. It might have been because today was a workday, and the launch hype had cooled slightly.
"Mm, just as Sir Carl said, I have also been actively searching these days for Saviors with powerful strength."
"Unfortunately, perhaps because the Lord Saviors have only just arrived in our world and have not yet adapted to our world's combat thods."
"So at this stage, I have not observed many Saviors whose combat power... is enough to catch my attention."
"But I still found one Savior whose strength shocked greatly. His na is 'ThisGaDoesNotTakeOrdersDoNotDisturbThanks.'"
"Mm... the na is a little strange, but his strength is definitely the strongest among all the Saviors I have co into contact with!"
Just as Hasumi was showing off that she had found an extrely powerful Savior.
That magical scholar nad Freya imdiately jumped out like soone had stepped on her tail and replied.
"You've also set your sights on that Savior? Listen carefully... he is a strong one already chosen by our Holy Nation! You are not allowed to make a move on him, do you hear ?"
After seeing that ssage, Hasumi replied with a confident smile that looked completely natural.
"But that Lord Savior chose as his strongest companion."
"No matter how much your Holy Nation tries to stop , you cannot forbid that Lord Savior from being drawn in by my charm, right?"
There was no malice in Hasumi's words at all, but it was still enough to drive that mage lady mad.
"I told you already, the reason players choose you is because you are the only limited character! Damn it!"
"If our Saintess had been the first launch limited character, there's no way you would have had so many followers!"
"But it doesn't matter! Anyway, after the Saintess arrives, you will understand that your charm is not worth ntioning at all!"
Her charm was definitely worth ntioning. As for her strength, though...
Carl could be certain that Hasumi's appearance would remain valuable for a very long ti, but as a launch limited character, it was only a matter of ti before her strength was powercrept.
However, the knight princess still did not know her tragic fate in the future, and she continued answering with great confidence.
"That is fine. I am willing to accept this challenge."
"However, I am now going to head to the Extre Abyss with that Lord Savior to fight. I shall log off for now."
This sentence from Hasumi was still showing off, making the Holy Nation's group so angry that they nearly lost it.
After Carl finished eating the drama, he also went to observe the worldline of the player nad "ThisGaDoesNotTakeOrdersDoNotDisturbThanks" to see exactly how strong he was.
This player's strength had already reached the point where both the Holy Nation and the Empire would rather tear off all pretenses and fight openly than give up on trying to win him over.
After Carl began using surveillance equipnt to monitor this player's actions, he discovered that he was already challenging the most difficult dungeon in the current version of Oath, Extre Abyss.
(To be continued.)
