25 - Rich

"Sir, that's what we got." A red-haired woman handed a black and purple fabric to a black man with an eye patch.

"Romanoff, what did you find out about this cover?" Nick Fury asked as he looked at the cover.

“We had installed cameras all over the place to see where this cover would come from, especially if someone came personally to put the cover there, but it really was like that kid described in the interview, it's like the cover is always there. we noticed that the cover just popped out of nowhere in our hand as soon as we disconnected from the game." Natasha started to describe what she felt and what it was like. "Plus we tried to recreate this cover and noticed something special." She said with a serious expression.

"Which is?" Fury asked as he raised an eyebrow.

"As much as the same person wears this cape or the cape we've recreated perfectly, the viewer's reaction is different. It's like this cape is enchanted with some kind of magic to make it more beautiful." Natasha reported everything she saw.

"You mean this cape has something like a charm? And that it really makes people see who wears it as prettier...?" Fury asked incredulously. "Why would someone do something useless like that?!"

"But when it comes to potions, we got four Strength Potions and two Lucky Potions, according to our studies, this Strength Potion for some reason actually manages to stimulate our body to develop more muscles in a few minutes, to the point where it really makes a difference between the punch of a person before and after taking this potion. As for Lucky Potion, we haven't been able to come up with conclusive results, just speculation that it actually increases the luck of those who drink it a bit." Natasha reported.

Fury was shocked by this, if a potion like this really exists, it is extremely necessary for Shield to get as many of these potions as possible, after all, with the amount of weird things going on in the world, Fury knew that just normal humans wouldn't be enough to handle thereby. "What about side effects?"

"None were found in either of the two potions, plus of course those who drank the Strength Potion need to ingest more nutrients to maintain new muscle, but as the amount was so low, it wasn't even considered a disadvantage." Natasha finished speaking.

"Okay, let's set up some teams to get as many potions like this as possible. What about Notch, did you get any information?" Fury asked with a serious expression.

"We can't find any fault with him, even if he acts like just an ordinary player, I feel there is something different about him but unfortunately we don't have any proof, not even seduction was possible with him." Natasha said frustrated.

"Okay, just keep watch in case he does anything suspicious." Fury said before dismissing Natasha.

"What are you trying to do with this...? It's not possible that it's just money you want, someone with that much power wouldn't need something as mundane as money..." Fury thought trying to understand Notch's mind.

"I'm rich hahahaha!" Alex was dancing happily in his little cabin as he looked at Minecraft's report.

 [Minecraft ]

 [71,206 Games sold - $1,424,120 ]

 [Average time played: 9 hours. ]

 [Peak of simultaneous players: 52,110 ]

 [Total earned on servers sold: $20,643 ]

 [Total win in VIPs: $194,975 ]

Available Gaming Points: 1

Alex was shocked when he saw that he had sold over $1,000,000 with Minecraft, and after converting that money to Gaming Points, he found that adding the Servers and VIPs together, he would have over 8,000 points to spend at will.

Without thinking twice, Alex opened the System store and bought a large Shokugeki pizza at Souma and devoured it without even worrying about the price.

"Pizza is meant to be eaten when you want to celebrate something! Mwahahaha" Alex squealed happily as he stood on the chair and ate the pizza with a hero's stance.

He was already tired of eating CupNoodles, so being able to eat a pizza as delicious as this one was something amazing for Alex.

But right after that he felt a little bad, after all, good news makes you want to spread it to friends to celebrate together, but it was at this point that Alex felt that he didn't have many friends... In fact, the only person he could consider as a friend would be Anna, who in fact he found out was a mutant from the world of Marvel.

So after thinking about it, Alex put the pizza aside and started planning for the future.

"I know Minecraft will still earn me even more Gaming Points, but as I'm in the world of Marvel, in the future maybe I really need some powers to survive, but those powers are very expensive, some cost hundreds of thousands of points, then I will need even more points, meaning even more games or ways to win money!" Alex knew that Minecraft hadn't even unlocked the full potential it had, in his previous world Minecraft had sold hundreds of millions of copies, and in that world it hadn't even reached hundreds of thousands of copies yet, so he could still earn even more of that in future.

But Alex wasn't satisfied, he didn't even know what year it was, how long before Thanos would arrive, or even if Thanos had already been killed.

"I need to develop more stuff to accelerate Minecraft's growth... what can I do?" Alex started to wonder.

The first idea he came up with was to develop a Minecraft tournament, as he knew that E-Sports attracted a lot of competitive players and casual players who enjoyed watching it.

On the other hand he remembered some famous mods from his previous world and found that he could sell these mods as DLCs, which would attract even more audiences who liked different things that base Minecraft didn't have.

"It's time to spend some points to invest in Minecraft!" Alex said excitedly.
