Popularity is everything, and my art style is just too quirky!

[You have received a new role offer. Please click to view.]

[A fresh approach: one-on-one scripted drama, game character tutorials—three easy steps to boost your popularity!]

……

Including the popularity score of the "basic salary" that was just issued.

So far, through the first character in "Psionic City".

Summer Night has accumulated over 58 popularity points.

Based on this estimated increase in popularity.

After all the remaining episodes of the first season of "Psionic City" have been released.

Conservatively speaking, it definitely has a popularity score of over 200 million.

And in the first anime series, especially the new series, he was able to portray a character with over two million fans.

Summer Night's first role can be described as a great success!

If they can maintain this momentum, they'll be able to continue until the second season of "Psionic City" ends.

Perhaps his first role can reach the level of a character with tens of millions of popularity.

After paying off the popularity points loan he had previously used to create the character of Natsumi in "Mob City".

Xia Ye then opened the ability manifestation section of the popularity value panel.

He checked the popularity points required to materialize his "Psionic City" character's abilities in the main world.

[The character Xia Ye from "Psionic City" has been confirmed by viewers to be materializable.]

[Character Ability: Beyond Boundaries, Requires 50 Popularity Points to Manifest.]

Please note that if a manifested ability conflicts with the abilities manifested by other characters, the ability priority will be determined based on the character's popularity among the audience!

In terms of intensity outside the boundary.

Each activation of an ability consumes 500,000 popularity points, which is within expectations.

The characters in the main world can each materialize their abilities, coming from different anime series and games.

It's easy for contradictory situations to arise, such as the strongest shield meeting the strongest spear.

In this situation, there is only one criterion for prioritization.

That is to judge based on the popularity and recognition of the anime or game character from which the ability originates among the audience.

The higher the popularity and recognition among the audience, the better.

Therefore, the higher the priority of the corresponding character's abilities.

After confirming the consumption of popularity points for the materialization of the character's abilities in his first anime series, "Mob City".

Xia Ye's gaze quickly fell on the notification of the new role invitation.

Currently, the second installment of "Psionic City" will have to wait for some time before it is officially approved.

Before this, Xia Ye certainly wouldn't choose to sit around and live off her savings.

"View character invitations."

Almost instantly.

Summer night's eyes were immediately filled with the notification of this brand-new character invitation.

You have received a character invitation for the fourth installment of the game Destiny, The Villain Index.

It's this game, I can't believe it.

When I saw that my new role invitation was from the game Destiny.

Summer nights were also somewhat unexpected.

Without him.

Destiny is an extremely popular game in the main universe.

In the first three installments, there were more than ten characters with over ten million views.

If we were to describe the status of the game "Destiny".

It can be summed up with the phrase, "What an amazing twist of fate!"

You probably understand now.

As for why a game of this scale would invite its characters to participate.

Xia Ye knew exactly what was going on.

In this world where popularity reigns supreme.

Xia Ye's first role in the new anime "Mob City" was very popular.

Moreover, it was in a form that had almost never appeared before.

It was naturally judged to have unlimited potential.

Having demonstrated his talent, it's only natural that he would receive better resources.

However, the game character is slightly different from the anime character that Xia Ye previously played.

Or, to put it another way, game characters have additional ways to determine their popularity.

Take "Destiny" as an example.

Since the second installment of Destiny introduced the character gacha system.

For the characters in the game "Destiny", the revenue from the character gacha pool naturally becomes a larger source of popularity.

Of course, these are things to follow.

Now, there's only one thing Xia Ye needs to do.

That means you should check out the fourth installment of the Destiny series, The Villains Catalog.

What role would you like to be invited to play?

What Xia Ye didn't expect was...

The game "Villains Catalog" actually gave me two choices.

[Because your portrayal of the character in "Psionic City" was extremely creative.]

Therefore, you have received invitations to play two characters in the game *Fate/Villains Index*. Please choose one of them.

[1. One of the key members of the main character group. (After selecting this character, they will definitely be added to the character gacha pool, and will also receive form enhancements later based on your popularity among players.)]

[2. Villainous Boss. (Please note that whether this character is included in the gacha pool depends on their popularity among players.)]

[Special Note: This game will break away from the single, traditional player-centric perspective of the previous three Destiny games, instead adopting a dual-perspective narrative involving both the protagonist and the game's antagonist.]

What appears to be a choice between two game characters.

In truth, Xia Ye had already decided on the answer in her heart.

……

Chapter 52 The Number One Villain? The Villain's Savior!

……

Among the two character invitations offered in the game Destiny: Villains Index.

The first option is to become an important member of the protagonist group, where the player is the main character.

The advantage is that you can unlock your own character gacha pool early on as a guarantee.

Furthermore, if your character becomes popular enough later on...

It will also unlock other forms of enhancement.

The new form of the character can also be used to unlock the character card pool.

It's an option with a high lower limit and a decent upper limit.

As for the second option, becoming the villainous boss in "Destiny".

Undoubtedly, this character will be more powerful in terms of abilities and stats.

However, there is no pity system for character gacha pools.

Whether or not a character can be unlocked depends entirely on their popularity among players.

From the player's perspective as the protagonist.

Villains themselves naturally possess a certain sense of alienation.

In this world where popularity reigns supreme.

It's difficult to portray a villainous character that players will appreciate.

Because of the main storyline of the game, the villains will definitely have to do what villains are supposed to do.

Instead of using the guise of villainy to do things that promote love and peace.

In this situation, it is very difficult to clear one's name.

Forcibly whitewashing the situation will only alienate players.

In this world where popularity reigns supreme, this is fatal.

At that time, even the character gacha pool will be unavailable.

It will truly be completely rotten.

But correspondingly.

If the character portrayed is popular among players, then the villainous BOSS will be able to achieve great success thanks to his powerful stats and abilities.

Not only are there many fans who love this character, but they also gacha pulls.

Moreover, it will attract a lot of players who prioritize strength.
