I Make Games Inside a Mobile Game?! Chapter 5 5: Stockings On!

Carl reached out and helped the little maid Irene up.

Strength!

It was always the top priority when a player chose a character.

"Can they clear Total War? Can they handle Contingency Contract? Can they fight Oni King? Can they clear the Abyss? Can they handle the Deep Tower? Can they clear mory of Chaos? Can they clear Spiral Abyss? Can they handle Defense Operation? And so on..."

These were always the first questions players asked before pulling a character.

"Then Lord Carl, if I choose the 'Support' role, how can I make players like ?"

Although Irene did not understand why Carl called the Saviors "players."

She still followed his example and changed her wording.

"I'll help you adjust that. Let see your character interface."

Although Carl was speaking in ga terminology.

Irene's comprehension was quick, and she summoned the card representing her extraordinary power, handing it to him.

Although ga characters could adjust the various values of their extraordinary power, they were limited within a certain range.

It was sowhat like being given ten attribute points.

And letting you freely distribute them among strength, agility, luck, and similar stats.

Carl changed Irene's role to "Support," then began studying this customization function.

"The customizable range is quite large? Not only can stats be changed, even the action modules can be modified? There's a lot of room to work with."

Although Oath was a ga that allowed players to fully imrse themselves.

Not every player in reality was a skilled swordsman or gunner.

So Oath had a combat assistance system.

Simply put, with a single thought from the player, the character they controlled would release the corresponding move.

This was the action module.

Of course, a player skilled enough could rely entirely on manual control to bring out a character's full performance.

The action module Carl defined for Irene was very simple, just fire one shot and that was it.

"Is it... really that simple? I... wanted to properly perform in front of the players."

Irene actually wanted to say that her Magic Bullet Shooter ability had much more room for developnt.

"What? You're a support, and you still want the player to do a full exercise routine before switching characters?"

"In high-difficulty dungeons, before you even finish applying buffs, you'll already be shot to death by the boss."

Carl knew very well... in front of high-difficulty content, if a support character's buffing process was too complicated, players would really curse them out.

"It's adjusted. This should be enough. With your current buffing ability, you'll be an absolute beginner war god, and even endga players can keep using you until the servers shut down."

The template Carl set for Irene was...

Her ultimate ability, which in Oath was called Contract Value. Once this was full.

The player could switch her in and just fire one shot.

And the buffing power Irene could provide to the main DPS, if fully maximized, was roughly:

[Final Contract, Multicolored Bullet]

[Effect: The next character you switch to gains 1000 Attack, 20% increased all-elent damage, 20% chance to apply the current character's attack attribute, and continuously recovers HP.]

[Duration: 20 seconds]

Of course, Oath also had the common mobile ga chanic of constellation stacking, which could also be called dupes.

Simply put, pulling one copy of a character was not enough, you needed five or six copies to unlock their full form.

In Oath, this enhancent was called "Contract Soul."

And if so lucky player could pull seven copies of Irene.

First, her first soul, "Battle Maid Always Ready!" would allow her to start any high-difficulty dungeon with her ultimate fully charged.

Then her max soul would additionally grant 20% skill cooldown reduction and 10% critical rate.

Without exaggeration, Irene could double the damage of any main DPS that scaled with attack.

"Is this really buffing power a four-star can achieve?"

After finishing the setup, as a veteran mobile ga player, Carl felt that Irene's buffing power could even be considered five-star level.

The only drawback was that she was a single-target buffer, and her ultimate only lasted 20 seconds.

It could only be said that at launch, because the developers themselves had not fully understood the ga's combat system.

A large number of monster-level four-star characters, as well as four-star equipnt or weapons, would indeed appear.

"Lord Carl, with this... can I... enter the players' team?"

Irene could not understand all the data Carl had set.

But as a little maid from the countryside, trusting her master was the education she had received since childhood.

"Not just enter the players' team, I'm more worried whether you'll overwork yourself to death in the future."

"It still feels like sothing is missing... wait here for a mont."

After saying this, Carl looked Irene up and down again.

Then he ran all the way to the academy's tailoring departnt and commissioned a set of clothes at the fastest speed.

When Carl returned to his room, Irene was still holding her musket and waiting anxiously.

"Lord Carl... when you said I was still missing sothing to be liked by players... what did you an..."

When Irene saw Carl return, she quickly stood up from her seat and asked.

"What's missing is these two things!"

As Carl spoke, he took out the maid outfit he had commissioned from the tailoring departnt, along with a pair of sheer white stockings, and placed them in front of Irene.

"Hurry! Put these two on!"

"These clothes... wait a mont, Lord Carl... isn't this outfit too heretical?"

Irene had not thought anything was wrong with Carl asking her to change clothes at first, but when she saw the maid outfit.

The skirt was so short that it only reached her knees, which was already considered long.

But Irene still felt sowhat uncomfortable.

And sothing like stockings, for an innocent girl like her, was actually quite embarrassing to wear.

"This is the standard configuration for ani...ahem, successful characters. Instead, I want to ask what's going on with your old-fashioned maid outfit? The skirt reaches your ankles! You look completely like a grandmother!"

Carl's evaluation of her maid outfit once again triggered Irene's stubbornness, or rather made her a little angry.

"Lord Carl! How can you say that about my outfit! I am an outstanding maid with a royal maid certificate!"

"This outfit has been passed down to by my grandmother, and my grandmother's grandmother! It is proof that our family has been excellent maids for generations!"

Irene's outfit was actually the true maid outfit.

The one in Carl's hands was a heretical product modified by ani trends.

"But your grandmother-style outfit makes it hard to attract players' attention! Irene, you want to enter the players' team, right? You want to receive the love of countless players like the strongest in the academy, right?"

Carl continued to coax and persuade this naive little maid.

"Uu... y-yes."

Irene knew very well that only players could save her hotown, and to make players save it, she had to win the love of countless players.

"Then put on this maid outfit! And put on these white stockings!"

Under Carl's forceful command, Irene had no choice but to change into this outfit that she found extrely embarrassing.

In fact, Carl's design was already quite conservative. Compared to so mobile ga character designs that could be considered lingerie.

Irene's outfit emphasized youthful cuteness, with a slight sense of battlefield style.

"Lord Carl... h-how... how does it look?"

After changing into the outfit, Irene kept tugging at her skirt.

She really was not used to a maid outfit with a skirt that reached her knees.

"Very good! You already have the aura of a five-star limited character. You could definitely win a first-place popularity title."

Carl looked at Irene's beautiful legs.

Especially the sheer white stockings on her legs, where the faint visibility of her skin tone, along with the slight wrinkles at the knees, were a classic design that stirred players' hearts.

"And don't worry too much about exposure. A knee-length skirt is considered normal campus attire. I also prepared safety shorts for you. If you think about wearing shorts under the skirt, it should feel a bit better, right?"

As Carl spoke, he took out a pile of fitted safety shorts and handed them to Irene.

"This... seems... true?"

It was Irene's first ti seeing safety shorts, but if she really wore them, it seed there would indeed be no worry about exposure.

"Mm, if you were a limited character, you would definitely be the kind that every player would pull at least once," Carl said.

Just based on Irene's appearance and character setting, a soft and cute little cream cake.

And Irene's buffing power, 1000 Attack, 20% increased all-elent damage, such an oversized universal buff that could double the main DPS's output.

A character like this, in any mobile ga, would basically be a must-pull universal support that every player would have!

"Isn't that a bit exaggerated?"

Irene shyly curled a strand of her golden hair with her fingertips.

Although her words were modest, the pride in her tone could not be hidden.

After feeling proud, Irene finally rembered the reason she had co to find Carl.

"Ah right! Lord Carl... we should go attend the pre-battle eting! The eting is about to begin!"

"The pre-battle eting... could it be a gathering of mobile ga characters discussing how to scam players out of money? Anyway, let's go take a look."

Carl made a joke Irene could not understand, then out of curiosity followed her to the pre-launch pre-battle eting venue.
