Chapter 82: Animation Plan

Bedivere dissolved into golden stardust in the wind, and the clearance screen for the Sixth Singularity slowly froze.

Countless players on Blue Star sat before their VR devices, unable to calm down for a long time.

The shock and lingering regret from being immersed in such an epic tragedy left everyone feeling empty inside.

It wasn't until a crisp notification sound from the system broke the silence.

[Main quest reward issued: ★3 Saber (Guard) - Bedivere, has been automatically added.]

Belle, eyes red, tapped open the Servant library in the Chaldea lobby.

In the corner of the list, that wandering knight with long silver hair, draped in a tattered cloak, stood there quietly.

His face was no longer pained, but carried that gentle, relieved smile.

"Little Bedivere..."

Belle sniffled, breaking into a smile through her tears, "Welcome home."

"Guys, even though he's just a three-star card the system gave away for free, I will never use him as fodder in this lifetime! I'm going to give him all the best resources and let him live peacefully here in Chaldea!"

The chat stream was filled with frantic agreement:

"Absolutely! Even if it bankrupts me, I'm going to max out Little Bedivere's level!"

"How is one card from the system enough? You need five to max out his Noble Phantasm! I'm going to whale on this banner!"

...

Following the perfect conclusion of the Sixth Singularity, the [Sacred Round Table Realm: Camelot] commemorative summoning banner was simultaneously opened.

Two massive banner posters covering the entire screen instantly ignited a frenzy of spending across the entire web!

On the banner covers were the immortal Sun King Ozymandias, and the Lion King, wielding the Holy Spear and radiating divine brilliance.

The game "FGO" had an iron law: as long as the plot was written deeply enough, players would even be willing to go bankrupt to pull for the villain who had once made them cry.

Within just twenty-four hours, countless players with red eyes rushed into the summoning room, frantically scanning codes to top up, all just to bring these two kings and knights, who radiated unparalleled charm in the story, home to Chaldea.

The data backend of Youxing Network suddenly erupted with a piercing alarm for overload operation.

Operations Director Yurito looked at the rapidly jumping red numbers on the big screen and felt like his heart disease was about to act up.

"President Kirito... It's crazy, everyone's gone crazy."

Yurito swallowed hard, his voice trembling so much the pitch changed, "On the first day of the Camelot dual banner... the total global revenue... has exceeded 500 million Blue Star Coins!"

"500 million?! In one day?!" The newly hired financial controller next to him opened his mouth wide, his brain buzzing.

In the history of games on Blue Star, even for those top-tier masterpieces that had dominated the charts for over a decade, a monthly revenue of 200 to 300 million would already be worth popping champagne to celebrate.

And yet "FGO"... 500 million in a single day!

This wasn't making a game at all; this was clearly printing money! And the kind where you run the printing press until it starts smoking!

"It's not just the revenue."

Yurito took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, "President Kirito, we currently occupy nine of the top ten trending searches on all major social platforms on Blue Star."

"Two-dimensional fans across the web, and even white-collar workers and students who didn't play games before, are all discussing the plot of Camelot!"

Hearing Yurito's near-fanatical report, Oriole, sitting before the floor-to-ceiling window, merely turned the coffee cup in his hand calmly.

"I see. Everyone has worked hard during this time; go to the finance department and collect a generous bonus. Keep a close watch on the servers next. You may leave."

Oriole waved his hand, cutting off Yurito's excitement before he could express any more of it.

"Yes, President Kirito!"

Yurito tactfully exited the office and closed the heavy door behind him.

The large top-floor office fell completely silent.

Oriole stood up and walked alone to the massive floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the bustling and dazzling neon nightscape of Tianhai City.
