Chapter 33: First skill

Alex needed a day to develop the event he was planning. This would be Minecraft's biggest event, as the game now has over 200,000 copies sold.

With Minecraft sales alone, Alex had already earned approximately 20,000 Gaming Points, and considering VIP and DLC sales, that figure rose to approximately 30,000 Gaming Points.

That was an amount Alex couldn't even dream of when he had just received the System, but now 1,000 Gaming Points could be earned very easily.

Alex decided to look into the skill store and see if there was anything useful for him.

[Skills Shop ]

[Dominic Toretto Driving Skills: 3,000 Gaming Points. ]

[Elf Breath: 5,000 Gaming Points. ]

[Deadshot Weapon Mastery: 10,000 Gaming Points. ]

...

[Gray Fullbuster Ice Magic: 100,000 Gaming Points. ]

[Megumin Fire Magic: 500,000 Gaming Points. ]

[Natsu Dragneel Dragon Slayer Fire Magic: 1,000,000 Gaming Points. ]

What little pride Alex took after seeing that he had 30,000 Gaming Points was drained after seeing that he didn't even have enough to buy Ice magic. But among the things he could buy, there was something that caught Alex's attention. Curious, he asked the system for more details.

[Elf Breath: 5,000 Gaming Points. ]

[Description: A style of meditation used by elves to absorb good properties from nature. This breathing has no direct effect in combat, but helps the user consume better nutrients from food, rest better during sleep and if used for a long time tends to increase the wearer's longevity.

Ps.: They say it has a beautifying effect. ]

Alex was shocked by this ability, the price of it was too high considering that after converting it to dollars it would be the equivalent of $1,000,000 .

But after seeing the effect it had, Alex bought it without thinking twice. He knew a lot of things he wanted to do during the day, and having to sleep 10 hours every day was very limiting for Alex, so something like that was essential. Not to mention the effect of nourishing the body and increasing longevity. If something like this were put on the market, let alone $1,000,000, even a trillion dollars would be cheap.

[Purchase! ]

After buying this, a flurry of information surged through Alex's mind, much like the memory pills he had used to remember the details of Minecraft.

In just a few minutes Alex found the perfect way to practice this Elvish Breath and put it into practice.

*In, Out, In, Out, *

Alex spent 30 minutes in the lotus position and quickly felt the difference that breathing in this way made for his body. Compared to the way he breathed before, it was as if he now breathed the pure air of green farms whereas before it was as if he was breathing in a toxic waste sewer.

It was difficult for Alex to explain in words, but in just 30 minutes of breathing like this Alex felt his body was ecstatic, thanking for the fresh air and gradually repairing the damage caused by the weather.

Alex didn't have a way of measuring how much Elven breathing had repaired his body and rejuvenated it, but he knew that if he breathed like this 24 hours a day for a few years, he would definitely age several times more slowly, ie, holding that breath Elfica Alex could live several times longer.

Seeing that this skill cost 5,000 Gaming Points and already had such a miraculous effect, Alex kept trying to buy other more expensive skills and see what it could do with him. But in the end he controlled himself and didn't buy anything else.

He only had 25,000 Gaming Points now, and he would need that to make the next game.

[Basic RPG - 5,000 Gaming Points. ] [Advanced RPG - 50,000 Gaming Points. ] [Triple A RPG - 500,000 Gaming Points. ]

He already had enough to make a Basic RPG, but he wanted the next game to be something much bigger, so he intended to collect another 25,000 Gaming Points to develop an Advanced RPG.

As much as that was a very high amount of Gaming Points, with the amount of daily Minecraft sales, Alex calculated that he would need a maximum of two weeks to gather that amount, or if the event he held was well received by players, perhaps that time would be shortened to just a week.

With a smile on his face Alex sat down at the computer and began to develop the event he would do for Minecraft.

This would probably be the most memorable event in the game, as Alex intended to make this a main theme among the games he was going to make.

Minecraft didn't have a story mode, but Alex intended to make one with this event.

Hypixel would be invaded, players would need to fight to protect the city, or it would be destroyed and they would lose the features that made it so fun.

Monsters would come from the skies, the earth, the underground, from everywhere. The villagers would be scared while the players would be the only ones able to protect the city.

Players would need to band together against a powerful enemy that even controlled dragons like kittens.

The amount of monsters attacking the city would be desperate, but Alex already had in mind a way to make the players manage to deal with that.

Of course, he didn't intend to let players solve this problem, at most these players would be able to make the enemy back down, but with that Alex would be able to create the first story of the game, a story that would continue through the new games and that would make players shiver only to remember the enemy they would face.

The enemy that would bring the world together, someone that perhaps not even Thanos could match.

That enemy that would go against the Minecraft system, which appeared only once in history and which later became just a legend.

In a few days players would know despair, because Herobrine would return.
