31 - Are You Afraid?
Alex was developing the next game to release after Minecraft. Of course, he wasn't going to release the Minecraft game as high as it was, he intended to do other events in Minecraft before releasing the next game so that the next game wouldn't be something that rivaled Minecraft and made the Minecraft audience choose to quit to play.
Alex's idea was to first let Minecraft reach a large player base, and after the public clamored for more games he would release.
But that didn't stop him from developing the next game. The idea he had was something much bigger than Minecraft, mainly in terms of Gaming Points. A game with a story for the player to get involved and at the same time with a lot of freedom to play and have fun.
But to develop this he would need a lot of time. As much as the system could use his memories to develop the games, Alex noted that some things from his previous world could be changed to make it more pleasing to players in that world.
Just as he did with Minecraft to make it bigger with world events, rankings, awards and a virtual society, Alex also intended to do that with the next game.
But that matter aside, Alex had a date today. Not as romantic as he didn't care about getting a girlfriend yet, after all, he didn't even know how he was going to get off this mountain, and he had a lot to occupy his mind.
But the main reason is that the person he was going to meet was not someone he was romantically comfortable with, after all, the woman was known as Black Widow, and as the name suggests, the number of men who died from being in love with her it wasn't small.
This time he would meet with her to see how the Shield was reacting to Minecraft and find out what their intentions were, of course, without them knowing that he already knew their identity.
"It's almost time." Alex told himself as he looked at his watch.
Before long, he closed the game development program and joined Minecraft.
Hypixel City was much busier than it used to be. Minecraft sales were already close to 200,000 units, so you'd expect at least 30,000+ players to be in town at busy times, after all, it was the biggest server in the game.
A few smaller servers started to pop up, and one that Alex had the most fun watching was a server called 22bt, which made him remember 2b2t from his previous world and think of the coincidence that players from that world also use a name so similar to the that he already knew. A server of anarchy that players could do whatever they wanted.
Of course, as it was a VR game, nothing related to obscenities or anything too heavy against another player's wishes was allowed in Minecraft, so if anyone did that they would be banned from Minecraft immediately, being forced to buy another copy of the game and this new one. account would be kept under observation by the system to prevent something like this from happening in the future.
As the city was busy, Alex expanded this and added entertainment methods for players.
Emeralds that were nearly useless in SinglePlayer mode had good monetary value in Hypixel, making many players actively seek this ore while playing in order to play with some things in Hypixel with friends.
Entering a cafe run by a Villager with artificial intelligence, Alex saw that it was empty and sat down at a table overlooking the window, to continue watching the players outside.
Seeing these people playing and having fun around town gave an idea of a world event for Alex to do, after all, it was fun causing chaos while everything was so happy.
"May I ask the reason for the smile?" A female voice came from beside Alex.
He turned and saw the player \[Natália\], or in her real name, Natasha Romanoff.
"I thought of a funny situation. You arrived early." Alex responded after seeing that Natasha had arrived 5 minutes before the scheduled time.
"But you arrived even earlier." 'Natália' replied with a smile because she arrived early and Notch was already here before her.
"I don't have a lot of work to do so I have some free time to wander around Hypixel." Alex replied.
Natasha raised her eyebrow slightly. She thought he must have a lot of work to deal with these nearly 200,000 players, but apparently it wasn't all that much work.
"What do you work with?" 'Natália' asked showing a lot of curiosity.
Alex had to admit, this spy's acting is very good. If she applied to be an actress, with her looks she could definitely land the starring role in any movie.
"I have a farm. I'm not a big fan of busy places, other than Minecraft, of course, after all it's just a game here." Alex replied before asking Villager for a cup of coffee.
At Hypixel there were exclusive foods and drinks, as well as coffee or juices. This type of food could not be obtained in normal Minecraft, which made many foodies play Minecraft just to look for emeralds to come and taste Hypixel foods.
"Oh I was thinking to myself Minecraft is a very magical place, is this really just a game? My friends even think this is something like another world." 'Natália' asked pretending to be really just speculating.
But Alex knew that she was actually trying to get information from him, both about how Minecraft worked and whether he really was the creator of this game.
"Do you really think that? Well, it's not unfounded as it's very realistic." Alex replied. "But considering the method of getting into the game, being able to do Livestream and all that other stuff, I find it hard to think that it's not just a game."
"That makes sense, but I still can't stop doubting that Minecraft is just a game." Natalia commented she was taking the coffee that Villager brought her and Alex.
"Well, I've read some stories on the internet about games like that, but that was in the distant future. With the technology from Stark Industries, I don't doubt that this game could be something experimental for them and they're just trying to cover it up. " Alex said a theory.
"Maybe, but as Tony Stark likes to show off, I find it hard for him not to say about this game anywhere. If this really was his he would have already told everyone about it and made a big splash about the game." Natalia gave a counterpoint.
"But are you afraid of the game?" Alex asked Natasha with a smile on her face.
