Chapter 29: Unknown Identity

A few weeks passed in the blink of an eye. Meanwhile the Minecraft audience has become increasingly large, not just people wanting to play and killing monsters, but also people playing Minecraft for other purposes.

"Are you sure about this? I might as well video call him." An old lady said a little worriedly as she sat down in front of an old laptop.

"Don't worry Grandma, I've been wearing this for a long time. You know Uncle Jhon who sells cookies near the church? He's also been wearing this for a few days, if you want you can even ask him." A 12-year-old girl explained to her grandmother patiently with a smile on her face.

The old woman was a little scared, but upon learning that old Jhon was also wearing it, she was a little less worried and decided to try it on her own, as if it really worked like her granddaughter had said it would be too good for her.

"Okay, what do I do?" The woman asked determinedly.

"Just use your mouse and click 'Play'." The young girl pointed to the screen.

Slower than a normal person, the old woman clicked the Play button and felt that everything around her was turning black. Even though her granddaughter had previously said that this would happen, the woman was still very scared about it.

But in a few seconds her vision changed to a beautiful world, with bright greens and a blue sky that she couldn't see for a long time. Because of this woman's old age, her eyesight had deteriorated a lot, but in this world she could see clearly, as if she were still very young!

"What had she really told me to do?" The old lady remembered after observing the surroundings for some myths.

After a bit of doubt, she clicked on Multiplayer and chose Hypixel. The vision around her changed again, but this time only the world around her was different, quickly turning the blocks of grass and wood into blocks of something like stone and concrete, forming a beautiful medieval city.

"This is magic!" She said with an astonished expression as she looked around.

The city of Hypixel had gotten a lot bigger than it was originally, there were now many squares and several Villagers selling food and drinks to players in exchange for emeralds that players brought back from SinglePlayer mode.

Even though in Hypixel players didn't feel hungry, it was still comfortable to sit with friends in a store in town and eat something while chatting.

"I know, right?" A voice came from the old lady's side.

Curious, she turned and saw a player with long black hair and a simple brown outfit standing next to her, wearing a very pretty cape.

"Yes, my granddaughter convinced me to come here, but I didn't know it was such a wonderful place. I can walk normally without any bones hurting, I can see perfectly without even wearing glasses... everything is so magical." The woman said satisfied.

By the calm way of speaking of this woman, and by the fact that she said about her granddaughter, the player understood that she must be an elderly person and became more respectful towards her. "Are you by any chance looking for someone? Or maybe looking for something to do? There are some fun games around here."

The woman was enjoying the scenery while talking to the player, until she heard him ask her what her objective was here and she got scared. "I forgot my appointment! My friends said they wanted to have tea here today, I think I'm late! How am I supposed to find them...?"

The player heard this and opened a smile on his face. Scenes like this were happening all the time, especially this week when Minecraft finally burst the bubble of being just a game for young people, older people started playing and they were also amazed by this world, maybe even more amazed than young people that they could feel things they haven't felt in a long time.

"Well, there is a tea house in a neighborhood nearby, if you want I can take you there." The player said with a smile.

The woman was surprised by this, but the happiness was very good, even if it wasn't the right place, she could just blame her friends for not explaining well how to find them.

"That would be a great help, thank you so much!" The woman said with a smile.

The player accompanied the woman to the most famous teahouse in Hypixel and noticed that several groups of women were gathered there drinking tea and talking as if they were noblewomen from a distant past. But as weird as this might be in the real world, on Hypixel it wasn't surprising.

The woman was very happy to be able to meet her friends and turned to thank the player who helped her come here, but when she turned back there was no one else.

"Hey, where did he go?" She asked herself confused.

Luckily she had seen his name above his head as they were on their way here.

"Thanks for that Notch, maybe we'll meet one day." The woman said with a smile as she turned and went to her friends' table.

This woman may be just an ordinary old woman in Minecraft, but in real life she is extremely powerful. But the player she thought was just an ordinary young man was also someone with a special identity, but neither of them knew that.

The woman only knew that the young man's name was Notch, and Notch just thought that this lady was an ordinary old woman and didn't even bother to memorize the woman's name.
