MARVEL: GAME MAKER SYSTEM-Chapter 35: The attack has begun
After showering and eating a system breakfast, Alex sat in front of the computer and prepared to start the event he was planning.
Alex planned this event to last 7 days, and after those 7 days the trailer for the new game would be released to players. Even though Alex still didn't have enough Gaming Points to start making the game, he had already planned out most of the features the game would have and the things he would need to change to make it work in this world, so the development process would be fast.
And with the hype he was planning for this event, Alex was sure that Minecraft sales would take off and before 7 days he would already receive the remaining Gaming Points to develop the game.
It was 9:50 am, of the 200,000 people who bought Minecraft, at that time there were only approximately 27,000 people online in the game. That's considering people playing Singleplayer mode, Hypixel and private servers. Considering that at peak hours the game had over 150,000 people online, it was now one of the times with the fewest players.
But that was exactly what Alex wanted.
With a smile on his face, Alex used the Herobrine account and logged into Hypixel.
Wong and the sorcerers of Kamar Taj were part of that small amount of players that was online in Minecraft.
As this was the Crone's task, every day they logged into the game to try to learn about Thaumcraft's magic. And since they had no obligations like work or school, these disciples basically spent the entire day at the game.
But as it was so tiring just to be on a private server they bought to study magic together, sometimes they would log into Hypixel to eat some game food, or even play the mini-games that the server had.
With the release of Thaumcraft and Industrialcraft, it became easier for players to kill Ender Dragon using the resources that came in these DLCs, so the population of players playing Skyblock had increased a lot as more players got the Ender Dragon egg.
And Kamar Taj's disciples got addicted to playing Skyblock too! The economy system of this mini-game was amazing! It should be known that to be accepted as a disciple of Kamar Taj it was necessary that one had a very important destiny, both great entrepreneurs and geniuses in some area were common to see in that place, so when they killed Ender Dragon and started to playing Skyblock, you could say they have become one of the main groups there.
"Hey Wong, did you manage to find out anything about magic tonight?" A disciple asked with a frustrated expression. They had already tested it and found that Thaumcraft's magic really wasn't impossible to do in the real world, but even with that finding, putting it into practice was an entirely different matter.
"I've tested a few things and I think I've made a very important breakthrough, maybe in a few weeks I'll be able to make a practical Thaumnomicon. Of course, I'm still not sure if that will work, but if it's really true, this could be a revolution for human magic. !" Wong said excitedly.
Humans in the Marvel universe couldn't control magic and generate it on its own, forcing users to sign contracts with demons or extract magic from other planes in order to do something.
But with the knowledge they received from Thaumcraft, it was quite likely that they could finally start using magic for even more amazing things in the future, and might even stop relying on other dimensions someday!
*boom*
A huge explosion sounded, alerting all players who were resting on the Hypixel!
Players were shocked, those who play minecraft have already got used to explosions, as dying to Creepers was a frequent occurrence for players, even playing with TNTs was something they did with ease. But this time it was different, the explosion that happened was something on a much larger scale!
Looking around, players saw something they couldn't believe.
Around the city of Hypixel was a great wall that players were never able to scale. Even though many tried, there were no blocks to hold up to the top, just leaving players stuck there with doubts about what it was like on the other side of that wall.
But now something they never imagined has happened. In the great wall there was a hole!
Wong was shocked and looked around confused, the other players didn't know what to do either!
Suddenly a notification popped up in front of all Minecraft players, even players on Private Servers or players in SinglePlayer mode.
[Dear citizens of Hypixel, the city is under attack by an unknown force. Please help protect Hypixel! ]
"What?! The city is under attack?!" The disciple beside Wong screamed in fear.
That was the reaction of the thousands of Minecraft players, they thought that Hypixel was a comfortable and cozy place that the Minecraft developers had made for them to rest, but who would have thought that this place could be attacked?
[The quest "Protect Hypixel" has been activated. If you want to participate in the quest, enter Hypixel and help protect the city. If players manage to defend the city from the invasion of the unknown enemy, everyone who participates in the defense will receive a gold limited cape, embroidered with 'Hypixel Defender'. ]
If before players were just scared about this invasion, now their mindset has shifted 180 degrees. Especially after reading the word 'limited' referring to the cover.
Almost every player had seen one of the players wearing the Ender Dragon cape proudly parading around town, and they were frustrated that they couldn't have a cape as cool as this one, but now the opportunity has arisen?!
They knew that almost every player would accept the task, so almost everyone would be given a cape like that and it wouldn't be as special as the Ender Dragon cape, but with the speed that Minecraft was growing, soon new players arrived, and then who wouldn't be jealous of their covers?
"Let's fight!" A player shouted excitedly.
