Since Kyo had only invited six guild representatives, they were still one person short of filling a table.
So Carl directly invited his first Fanatic player, Mio, to attend this simple new ga launch event.
While Carl was inviting Mio to Ryan's open world, Mio also shared the content of her recent work with him.
"Although it's still under NDA recently, Carl, you're not a real person... so it should be fine if I tell you, right?"
"A while ago, our company took on work assisting with the production of Oath's Saintess PV. I'm responsible for part of the video editing! During the day, I even went to Oath's company to attend a eting related to Version 1.1!"
Mio excitedly described her recent work experience to Carl like an elentary school student about to go on a field trip.
Good grief... Carl had been wondering what Mio had been busy with lately.
In the end, today, she suddenly dropped a huge leak on him out of nowhere.
So you directly infiltrated Oath's official side?
Don't tell you're the admin of the Oath Leaks forum?
Leaks forums were also very common for mobile gas.
For most players, when they were dissatisfied with various official decisions.
If they went to the ga's official forum or official community, they would most likely be taken down and banned imdiately.
Even if they were not banned, they would be surrounded and attacked by a group of people whose identities were unclear.
Because of this kind of demand, leaks forums naturally ca into being.
However, at the current stage, the leaks forum was still a gathering place for exposing all kinds of new content from future ga versions.
In the eyes of most players in this world, the content of Oath Version 1.0 was still quite good.
There were only a few real complaint posts.
Most of the content in the forum was still about looking forward to the Saintess's release in Version 1.1 and guessing the later plot.
In short, it was a thriving atmosphere that moved Carl deeply.
After Mio briefly introduced her recent work experience, she suddenly rembered the truly important matter.
"That's not the point! Carl, listen to ! After I went to Oath headquarters and finished the Version 1.1 eting..."
"I found out that Oath's official side is going to harm you! At the end of the eting, they even specifically emphasized that they plan to have you infected by the Calamity Virus in Version 1.1's story!"
After Mio finished the eting at Oath's official headquarters this morning, if it had not been too difficult to explain the seriousness of the issue properly by logging in on her phone,
she might have already logged in through the mobile client and dragged Carl away as fast as possible.
"So Carl! Let's hurry up and run before Version 1.1 updates!"
Mio said this while grabbing Carl's shoulders with both hands and shaking him.
Was this already an elopent?
Carl sowhat helplessly grabbed Mio's wrist and told her a fact that would make her despair.
"Miss Player, where can we even run? Have you forgotten the air walls around Elysium Academy? The mont you get close, a prompt will pop up saying, 'Please co back and explore the area ahead later.'"
"Then... then there should be so way to clip through the air wall, right?" Mio asked.
After learning the plot spoiler for Version 1.1, she had truly panicked. If she could, she wished she could directly take her Carl and escape to the real world.
"Even if you clip through the air wall, it's still within Oath's official side's control. It's just an undeveloped ga area," Carl clearly told Mio.
As long as he was in this Elysium world, if Oath's official side wanted to catch him and bring him back, they would not even need to send anyone. One command would settle it.
"Then what am I supposed to do? If Oath's official side wants to hurt you, do we players really have no way to do anything? We can't even save you?"
Mio was truly feeling despair now. Facing this kind of completely unavoidable plot death, as a player, she only felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
"Don't panic. Miss Player, are you sure the new story in Version 1.1 is about being infected by the Calamity Virus, and not about truly writing to death or putting in a dead end?"
Carl quickly caught the key point in Mio's words.
"Yes! But how is that different from writing you to death? Being infected by the Calamity Virus is basically turning into so kind of monster, right?"
Mio's professional ethics were still fairly good. Otherwise, as a Carl-only fan, she might have slamd the table and started cursing right there in the eting room.
After Carl confird this point, a relaxed smile quickly appeared on his face.
"Then, Miss Player, that proves you have actually already saved . It's just... the thod of saving is a little different from what you imagined," Carl said.
Carl had not expected Oath's official sanctions to arrive this quickly either.
Although Carl's current server capacity could support at most only around two thousand players playing cards online at the sa ti.
Compared to Oath's current nine million registered users, plus its daily online count of over a million, that was not worth ntioning.
But Oath's official side had already noticed Carl, this unstable factor. If Carl's influence continued to expand.
A huge number of players might directly treat Oath as a launcher for the pile of gas Carl made.
It would still be fine if they spent money, but these players supporting Carl would most likely end up becoming server parasites in the eyes of the ga planners.
As the number of these players increased, the bandwidth costs Oath needed to pay for them would also grow larger and larger.
By then, it would be too late for Oath's official side to deal with Carl in secret. It would be better to simply cut him down now.
But the contradiction was... Oath's official side could have completely written Carl to death, yet they had not done that.
The reason was not that they did not want to, but that Elysium would not allow it.
As more and more players beca hooked on the gas Carl made.
Elysium had already noticed Carl's strong appeal to players, which would beco a massive variable in the war against the Calamity.
So Carl felt that as long as he continued gathering popularity from players, Elysium might grant him more permissions.
For example, giving Carl scriptwriter permissions to write Oath's side storylines, or even part of the main story.
During that process, he could compete with Oath's writing team to see whose script was better.
And in the end, he would achieve his current ultimate goal.
That was to directly escape Oath's official control and establish a new Oath production team.
Of course, at the current stage, Carl was only thinking about it.
Imdiately afterward, to make Mio completely feel at ease, Carl directly told her a secret he had only confird not long ago.
"In short, Miss Player, you don't need to worry. I don't know what the situation is with other ga characters, but I have already confird... I am not affected by the Calamity Virus!"
This was also one of the unexpected results Carl had obtained in this underground laboratory.
There really were Calamity Virus-infected bodies wandering around this underground laboratory.
But whether it was contact infection, inhalation infection, or even long-term exposure in a high-concentration polluted environnt, nothing happened to Carl at all.
In this regard, he was no different from players who possessed flesh-and-blood bodies.
This also proved that Carl's current state was more like a hybrid of an electronic lifeform and a human soul.
"Even if I really believe what you said, what if Oath's official side keeps trying to hurt you later?" Mio suddenly asked.
When Mio thought of herself as Carl's only fan, and that the enemy she might have to face in the future was the entire official side of Oath, she felt extrely hopeless.
"We can think of a way to solve that together. But Miss Player, I promise you, as long as you don't quit Oath..."
Carl saw the worries in Mio's heart, so a reassuring smile appeared on his face as he solemnly promised,
"Then I will always stay by your side, until this world reaches its end."
Who knew that Carl's almost confession-like words successfully made Mio blush.
Mio's in-ga character naturally reflected her blushing as well.
By the way, Mio's ga character did not look quite the sa as she did in reality.
Her in-ga character was a white-haired beautiful girl.
"You... suddenly saying lines like that is a bit too much for ! It sounds practically like a confession! Also, when I played other online gas before, I always only stanned female characters."
Mio stamred as she spoke.
"I can tell." Carl could tell that Mio was the type of player who liked female characters more than male characters, and was even the type who thirsted over their looks.
"But I can make an exception and stan only you this ti. Mm!" Mio quickly adjusted her emotions and said.
"Then, Miss Player, it's getting late. I'll take you to et the players who may beco our companions in the future."
Carl reached out to Mio and made an inviting gesture.
Among the top-ranked guilds in Oath, there were many whales and opinion leader-type players gathered.
The amount of noise they could make was extrely significant. Once they took the lead and made strong demands, they could absolutely force Oath's official side to imdiately back down and release so kind of announcent like, "Dear Saviors, we are very willing to listen to feedback. Can we let this matter pass with 1,600 Contract Stones?"
"Companions? What companions? Don't tell it's your Carl-only fan club?" Mio replied half-jokingly.
Carl shook his head and changed this possibly nonexistent organization to a more fitting na.
"I think calling it the 'Treat Players Better Alliance' would be more appropriate. You all really deserve to play better gas."
This was also one of Carl's motivations for going against the awful official side of Oath in this world.
Mio did not say much more. After seeing Carl's extended hand, she was a little reserved, or perhaps a little tsundere, as she said, "In that case... there's no need to hold hands right now, right? Aren't we going to et other players later? It's fine when I'm alone with you, but if other players see entering while holding your hand, it would be way too embarrassing."
"That's true. I was not considerate enough."
Carl withdrew his hand, then suddenly thought of how he had told Irene not to get too close to characters of the opposite sex, yet he had almost broken that rule himself.
After that, Carl directly brought Mio to Ryan's open world.
(To be continued.)
