Sigh, I can't even try to have a decent stock of chapters left, if not for the consequences of my actions. 🫠
Anyways enjoy the chapter.
◇◇◇
Kyo let out a long sigh. He reached out and was just about to click log out.
"Please wait, Lord Savior!"
Hasumi, who had been waiting for this strongest Savior for a long ti, hurriedly spoke up to stop him when she saw that he was about to log off.
"Is... sothing the matter?"
When Kyo saw this knight lady take the initiative to talk to him, a hint of anticipation entered his voice.
Oath's initial promotion had said that every ga character had their own thoughts and could react according to the player's actions.
This was originally a very fun chanic. It was even a chanic that a player like Carl, who had only played computer gas, had dread of!
The waifus in the ga were truly living existences, and players could freely talk to the characters in the ga.
But this ga chanic that Carl had dread of had no supporting gaplay at all in Oath, and it was being wasted in an extrely serious way.
As for why it was being wasted.
Carl stopped his thoughts and turned his gaze toward the knight lady and Kyo, who were currently talking.
Today, by coincidence, Carl had been put into the team by this strongest player, Kyo.
He was purely too bored, so he had started trying to rotate different characters to farm daily dungeons, making this repetitive and chanical process a little less boring.
Today, that person was Carl.
Taking this chance, Carl could openly observe the conversation between the two of them at close range.
"Lord Savior, if you do not mind, would you be willing to spar with for a few rounds? I have always wanted to confirm exactly how strong you are."
Hasumi quickly thought of a reason to make Kyo stay.
And Kyo's eyes, which had originally seed sowhat dead from boredom, finally lit up with a trace of interest.
"Sparring is fine, but... after I win against you, what reward can I get?" Kyo asked.
"Reward? Of course, you would receive my admiration, Lord Savior. In this world, there are very few people I sincerely admire from the bottom of my heart."
Hasumi's narcissistic personality also ca into play at this mont. It seed that in Hasumi's eyes, openly expressing her admiration for a certain player was already the greatest blessing for that player.
"I'm not very interested in that reward. So... is there nothing else?"
In the end, Kyo refused very clearly, and disappointnt was already written all over his face.
"...Lord Savior, do you want Contract Stone rewards? Only the academy head can issue those."
Hasumi seed slightly discouraged, but she quickly put on a bright smile again and continued trying to get closer to Kyo.
"Actually, I'm not interested in Contract Stone rewards either... What I like more is the process of finding Contract Stones."
Kyo had co to play gas, not to work.
However, Kyo's evaluation of the gaplay process of running around Oath's map and opening treasure chests could only be considered passable.
While Hasumi kept thinking about what kind of reward this Player wanted.
"It seems the Empire's knight is being so reserved that Lord Savior is feeling sowhat impatient."
At this mont, the standard mage lady nad Freya finally could not hold back and appeared.
"Lord Savior, how about spending these next few days with ? During this ti, I have already fallen for you. Are you willing to respond to these feelings of mine?"
You shaless vixen!
Hearing the words of the only mature-lady-type banner character currently in Oath, this thought appeared in Hasumi and Carl's minds almost imdiately.
Freya held a gorgeous peacock-feather fan and covered half of her face, looking straight at Kyo with that charming, flirtatious gaze.
After spending ti with players during this period, this magical scholar from the Holy Nation had already figured out the nature of most players.
Most players who played Oath, especially male players, were all sexually repressed little virgins.
Maybe so of them were not virgins, but as long as Freya showed her seductive side and hinted that sothing might happen between herself and that player.
Then that player would fall for her unconditionally.
In her eyes, Kyo, the strongest player in Oath, had to be the sa!
Precisely because he was too powerful in the ga and spent all his ti in the real world on gas.
He definitely had no girlfriend in reality and lived a very lonely life!
Unfortunately... Kyo was a pure gaplay-first sigma man!
"I don't rember having any interaction with you these past few days. How did your favorability toward get maxed out?"
Kyo's first cold sentence nearly made both Carl and Hasumi lose it.
"That... is naturally because I heard of your great reputation, Lord Savior, so I fell in love at first sight."
Freya's brow twitched slightly. After glaring terrifyingly at Hasumi and Carl, who were holding back laughter.
She continued looking at Kyo with a seductive expression and tone, as if waiting for his answer.
Then, in the next second, Kyo said sothing that made Carl feel he was a role model for their generation.
"Confessing the mont you show up like this is really boring," Kyo answered in a tone without the slightest emotional fluctuation.
"Pfft..." This ti, Hasumi could not stop herself from laughing out loud.
Carl held back his laughter so hard that the muscles on his face were about to cramp.
"Then... Lord Savior... how should we show goodwill toward you so that you do not find it boring?" Freya asked while forcing the seductive smile to remain on her face.
Carl understood now. What Kyo had been trying to express all this ti was...
Not fun!
Whether it was Hasumi or Freya, confessing right away the mont they ca up was far too boring. In Kyo's eyes, it had no aning at all.
Strictly speaking, we have only known each other for four days, and we have not experienced any life-and-death struggles or deeply moving CG events together.
So how did you fall in love with ?
But what Carl did not expect was... Kyo's standards were even higher!
Kyo seed to have roughly seen through the fact that these two ga characters had their eyes on his combat power. He sighed softly, then directly pointed at Freya, the magical scholar from the Holy Nation, and asked.
"I know the background story of Oath, and I also know that you belong to the Holy Nation and the Empire, two different factions."
"I've experienced people trying to win over in other gas too, though the ones trying to win over were other player guilds."
"But since you are ga characters, I hope you can answer . If... I choose either one of you..."
"Will the later ga story of Oath change? For example, if I choose Hasumi, can I later go to the Empire and start the Empire's storyline?"
"If I choose Freya, can I later go to the Holy Nation and start the Holy Nation's storyline?"
"Do you... have this kind of branching choice?"
Impressive!
Carl secretly sighed in his heart.
Kyo was definitely an experienced ga veteran, and he had extrely high demands for gaplay.
Right now, he only wanted to figure out one thing.
Were his choices in Oath aningful?
In other words, would the various story choices he made in Oath affect the later plot of the ga?
Unfortunately, what Kyo wanted was a web-like narrative structure, where every choice he made could influence the later story of the ga.
A web-like narrative ant the ga's story presented itself like an interwoven spiderweb, where different choices could branch into countless story endings.
This was an elent only truly god-tier gas could possess.
Unfortunately, for a pay-to-win mobile ga like Oath, doing linear storytelling well, aning one story route straight to the end, was already pretty decent.
A web-like narrative? Even if Hasumi and Freya truly wanted to bring him a different story experience, Oath's official side would not allow it!
If Oath really let one group of players go to the Empire and another group go to the Holy Nation, then how would they sell the characters in one gacha pool?
Wouldn't the ga's developnt resources have to double?
Do not be fooled by Elysium being a real virtual world. Many settings in the ga still depended on real human ga planners burning the midnight oil to design and produce them.
It was still the sa saying... do not bring up things that do not make money!
"I am very sorry, Lord Savior. Although I truly want to invite you to the Empire, this matter... can only be decided by the academy head," Hasumi said regretfully.
Whether the next version specifically went to the Empire or the Holy Nation was still up to Oath's official side.
"Then choosing one of you two has no aning. The ending of the story will not change, and even the simplest side story will not be any different."
"So staying with you is extrely boring to , and I will not hold any expectations for your later story either."
After Kyo calmly finished giving his view on the future developnt of Oath...
He logged off.
Only Hasumi and Freya were left looking at each other. They realized that winning over this strongest player in Oath was much harder than they had imagined.
And Carl also completely confird it... Kyo was not the kind of cute-obsessed gacha player.
Simply put, he was not the common kind of ga player who was fine as long as the ga characters were cute, soone who could stare at his waifu all day long.
He was a player with extre demands for a ga's gaplay.
As long as a ga was not fun, even if that ga added as much fanservice as possible and made as many extra-large female characters as possible, he would not feel the slightest bit of interest!
A ga... had to be fun!
Unfortunately, for Kyo as a player, this requirent was just that simple.
Yet currently, no ga on the market, including Oath, could satisfy him.
Before Kyo finally logged off, Carl still said the most critical sentence to him.
"If you feel bored, try searching for Oath's hidden gaplay on a video site. There will be a surprise."
(To be continued.)
