Was about to log off, just wanted to double-check, and sure enough, we are at 1400. Power Stone bros are really working hard huh?
◇◇◇
Just as Hasumi saw Kyo nod very seriously and prepare to say sothing.
The words this knight princess imagined Kyo would say were probably, "All of you, go pull Hasumi's 6 1! At least 2 1! You won't even pull her second Contract Soul, and you still say you love her?"
But Kyo's next words made Hasumi experience the terrifying feeling of suddenly falling into a pit, her entire body going cold.
"That is, I'll have to trouble you to support Carl Agata. His fixed location is in the map deep inside the underground laboratory. There's no need for any troubleso steps either. You just need to go et him once," Kyo said.
"Carl... Agata? Oh! I rember! He's that three-star character with black hair and purple eyes, right? I was actually pretty into his looks at launch." The one speaking was the female player among the two.
This female player quite liked Carl's gloomy aura with black hair and purple eyes.
Unfortunately, Carl's strength was far too awful. After she pulled him at launch and tried him out, she found that he could not even beat monsters, so like most players, she threw him into storage as a warehouse manager.
Either that, or she directly fed him to Hasumi as fodder.
"I rember that character only had a bit of story at the end of the main plot, right? God Kyo, do you really like that character?"
The other male player had basically no impression of Carl. If he had not checked the ga archive, he probably would not even know who Carl was.
"You'll understand once you go et Carl. In short! Please support Carl Agata!"
Although Kyo's smile as he said this was very friendly.
The two players felt that if they did not do as he said, the pressure on their hearts would be extrely heavy.
"U-understood! I'll go check out the underground laboratory right now."
The male player said this while making a "Yes, sir!" gesture.
"Hehe, I didn't have anything to do after clearing Extre Abyss anyway. Going to see Carl's follow-up story sounds pretty nice too."
The female player did not mind conveniently becoming a fan of Carl's looks.
After all, she had taken a liking to Carl's appearance since launch.
So after Kyo sent the two players away, he turned back to look at Hasumi.
She was standing in place like a weathered stone statue, already frozen for quite a while.
"Lord... Lord Kyo... you... you are helping other Saviors for free like this not to promote my Contract Souls, but... to promote another character, right?"
At this mont, Hasumi understood.
Kyo's generous act of helping players farm Extre Abyss for free was not for her at all, but to help another ga character gather popularity!
"Mm, that's right." Kyo gave Hasumi a direct affirmative answer without the slightest hesitation.
This was not because Kyo lacked emotional intelligence. He was simply too lazy to hide the truth.
NTR! It's NTR!
Why! I was clearly here first! Whether it was the first encounter in the story or the first character you trained, I ca first!
What hurt Hasumi the most was what Kyo said next.
"Hasumi, have you rested enough? The next batch of players will arrive soon. Work a little harder these next few days. I need to complete the mission Carl entrusted to as soon as possible," Kyo said.
No!!!
Right now, Hasumi was like an incompetent husband. Although she had ten thousand kinds of bitterness and unwillingness in her heart, she just could not refuse Kyo's request.
So for the rest of the ti, she could only carry an extrely "kuyashii!" mindset.
She honestly tead up with Kyo to farm Extre Abyss, then watched helplessly as Kyo sent one player after another to support Carl Agata.
Ti passed like this for about six days.
Kyo's mission to invite one hundred players to et Carl had actually been completed two days earlier.
But he seed to have gotten a little addicted. After Kyo completed the mission, Carl saw that he still seed sowhat unsatisfied with carrying newcors.
So Carl used an exclusive character skin for the new ga as a reward and issued Kyo a follow-up mission to carry more newcors.
During these six days, Carl was not the only one watching everything that happened in Extre Abyss.
The two standard five-stars from the Holy Nation, the mage lady Freya and Annihilation guy Griff, were also watching everything happen from outside the dungeon.
"The Empire's influence among the Savior group is gradually expanding with Lord Kyo's help. Are we truly not going to do anything to stop them?"
Griff did not know the inside story behind Kyo's boosting this ti, and of course, Hasumi would not publicize the bitterness in her heart.
So in the eyes of the Holy Nation duo, Kyo was tirelessly using Extre Abyss carries day and night to produce Hasumi's fans and the Empire's followers.
This was extrely unfavorable for the Holy Nation's influence among the player group.
But the mage lady Freya held an optimistic and... disdainful attitude toward this.
"Those Saviors who need to rely on Lord Kyo to obtain the best rewards in Extre Abyss can only be considered ordinary, or even weak, among the Savior group."
"There are quite a few powerful guild organizations among the Savior group. The Saviors in those guild organizations are the strong among the strong, and we have already won over a large group of them through special ans."
"No matter how many ordinary Saviors gather, they cannot affect anything." Freya lightly waved the peacock-feather fan in her hand and said.
Oath had a Brigade system similar to guilds.
But Oath's current version did not have high-difficulty raid progression gaplay like an MMO. The hardest gaplay at present was optimizing scores in Extre Abyss.
But to these ga characters, whether it was the Holy Nation or the Empire, the reason they desperately tried to win over players.
Was still to lead players to their holands and eliminate the Calamity Virus ravaging their lands.
At its core, the players' combat power was the matter these ga characters prioritized most.
As for players from the major top guilds, putting their combat power aside...
Their coordination and cooperation on the battlefield would definitely be higher than those random players who simply played the ga casually.
Therefore, in Freya's view, even if the Empire gathered more ordinary Saviors, it did not matter. As long as they firmly held the top combat power among the Saviors in their hands, that was enough.
Then, when the Saintess arrived in Version 1.1, the whales among the Saviors and the opinion leaders would all be captivated by their Saintess as well.
No matter how one looked at this popularity war, the Holy Nation had victory in its grasp. There was no need to rush for a montary advantage!
At this mont, the situation on Kyo's side also seed to match Freya's thoughts...
After Kyo carried two more players through Extre Abyss, under their thanks, he reminded them to rember to support Carl Agata.
At this mont, he suddenly received a ssage from a friend.
"Kyo, what the hell have you been doing these past few days? Are you helping so guild rush the rankings, or are you planning to create your own guild? If you have ti, can you co over and explain things to everyone?"
"Right now, all the major guilds are helping push the Extre Abyss rankings and expand their guild influence. You've been farming the rankings this intensely, and it's making us people rushing scores panic."
The person who sent the ssage was Ryan, the vice guild master of Crimson Sigil, one of the current top guilds in Elysium.
Although Oath was a single-player open-world ga where player resources were completely equal and did not require fighting over each other...
After those large guilds from Elysium ca to Oath, they were still secretly competing.
Extre Abyss was the largest battlefield. It was a very good publicity ground.
The more guild mbers were on the rankings, and the higher their rankings were, the greater the guild's influence would be.
Especially the position of first place. Of course, the major guilds all had top players strong enough to match Kyo.
But... in the eyes of the major guilds, Kyo was still the deciding factor in the battle for first place on the Extre Abyss rankings!
Originally, it had been fine after Kyo faded out of the fight for first place in Extre Abyss.
Everyone no longer had any need to spend a huge price hiring him. But now, Kyo had been appearing on the Extre Abyss leaderboard at high intensity.
Although his ranking had always stayed outside the top hundred, during the process of carrying players through the rankings, Kyo had accidentally scored a high score of 40,000.
He suddenly rushed up the rankings once, causing the people who were truly pushing scores to mistakenly think Kyo wanted to aim for first place, and their nerves instantly tightened.
After this happened several tis back and forth, the major guilds had been driven sowhat neurotic by Kyo.
So Crimson Sigil sent Ryan, the vice guild master who had a pretty good relationship with Kyo, to ask what exactly this guy was trying to do.
Are you trying to push for rank one or not? Give us an answer!
These past few days, Kyo had been stringing the major guilds along, keeping them constantly on edge.
That kind of pressure was worse than a clean loss.
"I don't plan to push for rank one..."
Kyo originally wanted to reply with that sentence, but at this mont, Carl happened to be beside Kyo observing his chat records.
Carl was also very interested in the relationships between the major guilds in this world, so he said,
"Mm... Player Kyo, the major guilds have all been farming rankings at high intensity these past few days. I think they should be very tired... I have a way to let them co to my place and rest for a while. I wonder... are you interested?"
Carl instantly thought of a very interesting plan. Originally, Kyo did not really want to get involved in the guild disputes within Oath.
But at his core, he was also soone who loved fun. After sensing that Carl had found him another huge source of amusent.
He decided to accept Vice Guild Master Ryan's invitation and go et the representatives of the major guilds.
