115 Gotta enslave them all 2 (2/2)
This entire activity was a luxury as they could not escape the responsibility waiting for them in the real world.
No Moirai and no competition could ever be important enough. Even if they would win in any contest the burden on their shoulders would not lessen, it would rather increase. The high expectations of their families should not implicate their core principles.
They were not willing to risk their friendship over this matter regardless of what others told them. That still does not mean, that they wouldn't do everything to win the competitions they took part in But betraying each other was something they wanted to avoid.
They kept on laughing and giggling while discussing the future of their (un)fortunate subject. Their vivid imagination and creativity delivered them enough content to fuel this discussion for a long time. From time to time they searched for new rumours on HolyTube but did not find anything worthwhile.

The latest development focused more on people showcasing their NPCs and making them do utterly ridiculous things. Some NPCs were forced to slaughter each other in cruel and inhumane ways, while others had to endure humiliation with a smile on their face. Others had to do whatever the audience demanded from the specific player, ranging from simple gestures to fighting against a monster.
This diverse content attracted a lot of different attention from people outside of this world but was not the thing Samantha and Laura were looking for. Finding a trace in all of this was nearly impossible and as much as they wanted to, getting ahold of their target was quite unlikely as well
It would have been delusional to follow this path to the end expecting nothing but success, they were aware of this detail, but losing themselves in their ”fury” was a pleasant activity to pass the time.
It was a rare occurrence to be emotionally invested into something and it would be foolish to pass up on this opportunity to behave differently for once when the public eye was not focussed on them.
While looking half-heartedly at these broadcasts they stumbled onto something very interesting. They watched the stream from CallMeDaddy who was currently interviewing someone. But this interview did not take place in Primal Survival but the real world.
” Its CallMeDaddy and I am currently talking to a lead developer of Primal Survival. He is here to tell us more about the current situation. Mister Noclu, I am speaking for everyone one, when I say, that the current event is greatly appreciated by everyone. Tell us more about it”
His voice was a lot more formal and respectful in comparison to his usual tone. The clothes he was usually wearing had been replaced as well. Instead of the frill and bright colours he normally wore, he currently was dressed in a simple robe.
It was apparent just how much importance CallMeDaddy was placing on this interview as his entire persona had changed for this occasion. But the limelight did not fall on him but the person standing on the opposite side.
The developers of Primal Survival were normally very secretive, which made this type of interview even rarer. Every viewer wanted to know more about the entire situation.
” First let me say thank you for interviewing me on such short notice.” said the person, whose voice could be heard for the first time. He was wearing the standard uniform of Casum Entertainment, which consisted of a black suit and fine jacket with their logo printed on it. The white dove, with its wings spread, had been their trademark since their establishment.
Although this way of dressing was considered standard on Earth, it was considered to be an absolute luxury to be dressed like this. Therefore it was no wonder, that every onlooker was staring intently at the middle-aged men.
” The decision to revert the safety of the NPCs had to be made. Although we promised a realistic depiction of the primal world, the interaction between players and NPCs did not occur as we had imagined it. Our aim was to provide an environment, which would motivate the players to talk and listen to them and sadly we failed to accomplish this feature.”
His expression turned downcast after those words had crossed his lips. With the disappointment visible in his face he made a short pause before continuing his speech.
” But by giving the players the chance to do whatever they please to their NPCs we have found a way to achieve our initial plans. This possibility was welcomed by everyone and we from Casum Entertainment are glad that you found it to your liking. This has always been our greatest priority.”
Those words were spoken with a captivating smile and a compassionate tone. It was apparent. that everything that had been said came straight from his heart.
” To provide our players with the necessary experience, we had to make some adjustments to their psyche. But do not worry every NPC you can possess is special, you will not be able to find any NPC which behaves exactly like any other. It will feel like they are real humans from back then.”
” Granting the players this huge opportunity is the next big step in our plans for the future training of our youths. We tilted this part of the plan” Gotta enslave them all”, its name should highlight the necessary actions for the future of Primal Survival.”
The audience agreed whole-heartedly with this statement. Why should they care about the NPCs in the starter towns? Nobody considered trading with them or even talking to them. They had been nothing more than a tool to vent their frustrations on given the chance to do so.
At least this way players could find a way to make them useful. Since NPCs were not still not perceived as something else, it was a welcomed change, which players gladly used in various ways. Nobody was batting an eyelid and players did whatever their heart desired with the new NPCs.
Gotta enslave them all became the official motto for the period of time before the competition. Except for the tacticians, nobody was interested in utilizing the NPCs other than for the entertainment.
Even the tacticians were only interested in the number of NPCs under their control. This equation changed when the unique NPCs came into play. If an NPC was unique then it could be used as bragging rights or traded for monetary value.
This hot commodity was sought after but was not easily obtained.
The interview continued with the developer talking about his experiences with the world of Primal Survival and some funny anecdotes about the development of Primal Survival. This interview was well structured and easy to follow thanks to the professionalism from Call me Daddy.
Gotta enslave them all was a promising aspect for the future of Primal Survival, although the ramifications were nothing anyone could have foreseen.
