Chapter 15: Wakanda

Alex was watching with a satisfied smile the players' reaction to the first event he was developing in the world of minecraft.

Alex knew Minecraft had a big problem. The game didn't have a 'Quest Line', meaning new players never know what the game's objective is and most just do what they want for a while before they stop playing.

This issue was resolved in Alex's previous world after players discovered that there actually is an objective in the game, namely, killing Ender Dragon. But to kill Ender Dragon players needed to do a lot of preparation before that, and discover some items they didn't even know existed.

So, as Minecraft already had over a thousand active players, Alex decided to speed up this process by encouraging players to kill Ender Dragon, which would make players research more about the game to understand how to progress, which would likely make a Wiki of game being created, in addition to giving a satisfying prize to those who succeeded, it would be one of the most successful mini-games from Alex's previous world.

The Dragon Egg will be the first item that can be shipped between the Single-player world and the Multiplayer world. In Alex's previous world the Dragon Egg was of no use, but in his minecraft it will serve as a key that players will struggle to obtain.

Alex had just killed Ender Dragon in Creative Mode, as he didn't have much patience to do that in Survival Mode, as it didn't even give him a good reward, but here it would be different, this would be the players' "first mission" , and Alex was excited to see how this would develop.

So far, Ned's livestream was the best way to know how players would react to it.

In his livestream there were 400 viewers, and while he was reading the message on his floating screen inside the game, some viewers with faster reads had already finished reading and were commenting on the chat.

[What?! Minecraft has a dragon? ]

[I can't believe... in a week whoever manages to kill the dragon will win a limited prize? I'll start playing now, bye guys. ]

[Damn... I was still in doubt whether I would buy minecraft or not, but this event will be unique, I'll break my coin piggy and buy this game now! ]

[I bought the game today, does anyone want to join me in killing the dragon together? I pay the server! ]

[I want! Add me... ]

[Me either! ]

[I'm going to buy now, is there a problem? ]

The players' reception for the event was better than Alex imagined, at this minecraft pace it would spread even more, and that's exactly what he wanted!

Shuri was currently in the Wakanda castle laboratory while doing some research on Vibranium.

Out of curiosity, she was researching how some ores interacted with each other, thinking about the possibility of using ores that could supplement Vibranium for her brother's costume.

[Utilities for Obsidian. ]

She googled to see if she could find any recent research with any findings that might be helpful to her, but unfortunately she was already on google's second page and hadn't yet found any new articles that might be helpful.

Until just before she closed the site, a publication caught her attention.

[Using obsidian to open a portal to hell. ]

Shuri knew that technology was something that moved very fast, but even she, Wakanda's greatest genius, couldn't think of how to use Obsidian to make a portal, let alone go to "hell".

This post made Shuri think this was just a post from some lunatic, but seeing that she didn't have much to do, Shuri decided to click through to see what it was.

[Using obsidian to open a portal to hell. ]

[Hi guys, do you remember that a few days ago players didn't know what Obsidian was used for? So, on NedTheKing's livestream it was proven that Obsidian can be used to make a portal to hell, and according to Minecraft news, there are some important monsters there to find Ender Dragon.

For those who want to make a portal to hell, watch the video tutorial below. ]

Shuri was a little disappointed, she thought it would be a post of a lunatic talking a lot of nonsense, but actually it was just a player divulging information about a game.

Despite this, Shuri was a little curious to see what it was like. She had already tried the American games, but most of them were about war and destruction, which made her feel like it was too boring and stopped paying attention to it.

But when she hit play, what appeared on her computer screen shocked Shuri.

There was a square man talking to a camera in a very natural way, he was using a translucent blue pickaxe to constantly hit a very tough looking black ore, and after he hit for a few seconds, the ore broke and turned into a small block that floated on table position until man broke.

Shuri didn't even realize that he spent 10 minutes watching this video until the man built the portal and went into a dimension that really felt like hell.

But what shocked Shuri even more was when she started thinking about the technology involved in this. Unlike movies or games, everything she saw in the video looked real and alive, the human breathed very realistically despite being square, and the scenery rendering was perfect, even allowing her to see a mountain miles away. away from the man who was recording the video.

Without thinking twice, Shuri googled Minecraft and found this game in the biggest game store in the world.

The price was only $20, which for the princess of the richest country in the world meant nothing, but what surprised Shuri is that the file size was very small, the download was completed in less than 5 seconds.

Initially she was frustrated thinking she had fallen for a false , but when she pressed to play, Shuri felt that her perception of 'Genius' was being destroyed.

'The person who did this here is a real Genius.' She thought to herself as she started to play slowly.
