1000 PS already??? Thank you for the magnificent support ❤️, I wasn't expecting this. I guess Gacha really did a number on 😔
◇◇◇
Carl's perspective shifted to Kyo's side.
Facing Kyo's curious and searching gaze, Carl gently pinched his chin and thought about how he should answer him.
Actually, Carl knew very well what kind of content a hardcore player like Kyo wanted to play the most in Oath.
Was it a new ga made by Carl?
That was actually only one of the answers.
But with Carl's current strength, he could only make small gas independent from Oath's own gaplay.
They were like those common event mini-gas in gacha gas used to drag out version playti.
Although Carl was confident that he could make the later gaplay and ga design more interesting than the mini-gas in gacha gas used to drag out playti.
Carl knew...
Playing these mini-gas independent from Oath's core gaplay was definitely not Kyo's ultimate pursuit, nor the ga experience he wanted most.
Yes, Carl had been very clear from the start. The thing Kyo craved was only one thing.
That was... the drive to keep playing Oath!
He wanted to keep playing Oath, but Oath had no more content for him to play.
If he wanted to wait for new content, he would have to wait until the Version 1.1 update ten days later. These ten days would be very hard for Kyo to endure.
And to give players the drive to keep playing.
Carl only needed to do one very simple thing, which was to give players goals, or rather, missions.
Then, after the missions were completed, give players generous rewards.
But even with these two simple requirents, Oath could achieve the first part, while the latter.
Giving players sufficiently rich and surprising ga rewards, as ntioned before, was not supported by Oath's underlying logic as a pay-to-win mobile ga.
Giving players anything good was basically the sa as taking Oath's life.
But that was fine... the surprise rewards Oath's official side could not give players, Carl would give them!
The interesting gaplay that Oath's official side could not make for players, Carl would make it!
When Carl grew bigger and stronger, that group of ga planners could open their eyes and take a look at who the true orthodox Oath was!
Ahem... of course, Carl's career was still in its starting phase right now, but after figuring out what to do next...
Carl directly issued Kyo a very short hidden mission.
"Player, I have a commission I would like to give you. I wonder if you have ti to complete it recently?"
When Carl ntioned the word commission, Kyo's expression instead stiffened slightly.
It seed that even this hardcore Oath player had been hurt by Oath's toilet-unclogging side quests.
So Kyo hurriedly asked Carl.
"Shopkeeper... this side quest you're giving , is it an errand... or the kind where I follow an NPC around chatting the whole way and then fight so monsters before it ends?"
"No matter which one it is... I'm not very free today. Why don't we play another round of Oath Cards instead?" Kyo said sowhat awkwardly.
Kyo had also grown familiar with Carl's setting as a ta character, and very fittingly called Carl Shopkeeper.
It seed Oath's side quests were also the kind of say toilet-unclogging tasks.
There was basically no gaplay design to speak of.
In essence, they only increased the trouble players had to go through to obtain Contract Stones, then forced players to spend money.
And the side quest Carl was giving Kyo was, of course, the right dicine for the problem.
"No, of course I won't commission you to do those errand tasks. Player... I know your strength is exceptional, even among the many players."
"I believe you have already experienced Oath's mode called Extre Abyss," Carl said.
"Mm, do you want to challenge the Extre Abyss rankings?" Kyo glanced at the current Extre Abyss leaderboard. Although his skill was strong, his build was not enough.
The 16,000 points he had earned with 0 1 Hasumi had long since been pushed out of the top twenty by a large group of fairly skilled whales.
"Simply optimizing score is so boring. I saw that Extre Abyss gives an avatar fra at ten thousand points, and there is also a limited student card you can claim, right?"
Carl glanced at the various rewards in Extre Abyss.
At 2,000 points, players could obtain all the guaranteed Contract Stone rewards.
This was also the only place where Oath's official side acted like human beings, or rather, the only place where they did not want to leave themselves open to criticism.
Farther up, at 5,000 points and 10,000 points, there were corresponding gold and diamond avatar fras, as well as a personal display page, which was the na card reward for the student card.
This thing would definitely beco the biggest proof in Oath for distinguishing ordinary players from expert players in the future.
Although many ordinary players were also complaining about why getting an avatar fra was so hard...
A large number of opinion leaders all replied with things like, "It's not a Contract Stone reward. If you can't get the avatar fra, you aren't missing anything. What are you trying to do by obsessively cursing over this?"
Was it wrong for players to want to obtain every reward in a ga?
Of course not... but not everyone could score 10,000 points in Extre Abyss.
At the very least, 0 1 Hasumi required extrely strong skill to barely touch the threshold of 10,000 points. As for those without skill?
Then spend!
6 1 Hasumi could easily score 10,000 points.
This was Oath's planners' little clever idea.
But there was another rciful point in Oath's planning, which was that Extre Abyss also had a co-op mode.
Although this co-op mode raised the score needed for the diamond avatar fra all the way to 30,000 points in one breath.
That was no longer a score that could be reached by spending money. It required solid skill.
Carl took a look online and saw that quite a few boosting shops for diamond avatar fras had already opened. Judging by the order volu, the demand was extrely high!
"Player, I wonder if you would be willing to help those... players who want to obtain the diamond avatar fra realize their wish?" Carl asked.
"Oh... you want to carry random players in Extre Abyss and help them climb points." Kyo quickly understood what Carl ant. After all, this was his old line of work.
So much so that back when Kyo was bored during the content drought, he had considered whether to go to Extre Abyss and carry random players for free.
But... he still did not do it. The main reason was that he had already done too much of this kind of thing.
At first, he could still obtain the joy of helping others from the praise and thanks of newbie players.
But now... Kyo had already beco numb. On top of that, there was no substantial reward.
In his eyes, this kind of action had no aning at all.
And now, Carl gave Kyo aning!
"After you carry those players through, you can recomnd that those players head to the underground laboratory to experience the gas I made."
Carl did not hide anything and directly stated his demand.
"Then... Shopkeeper, what reward can I get after completing the mission?" Kyo asked again.
He hoped Carl could give an answer that surprised him enough.
"As long as you can invite one hundred players, I will make a brand-new ga according to your general needs. How does that sound?" Carl said.
The mission Carl issued was basically a limited mission that only Kyo could accept.
To be honest, Carl also felt this mission was pretty toilet-unclogging, and it even forced interaction between players. For mobile ga players, this was absolutely a major landmine.
But Kyo was very suited for this mission.
So when Carl ca into contact with more players later.
He would also issue personal limited missions that could give them the sa powerful drive, making their Oath content drought no longer boring!
(To be continued.)
