Chapter 13: X-Men on Minecraft
"This..." Alex was shocked at the amount of sales.

"Twenty thousand dollars... that's a lot of money... if I convert it to GP it will give a total of 100 GP that I can withdraw at any time... considering server and VIP earnings, 122 GP! I got rich !" Alex was excited as he began to dance back and forth in his little cabin. "Finally I can stop eating CupNoodles!"
Alex really loved the taste of CupNoodles, but eating the same thing for two weeks was making him a little queasy.
It had been a week since Minecraft Multiplayer mode had been released and Alex was avoiding looking at the game's Sales Stats to feel a surprise, but he didn't think the game's sales amount would more than double this week!
"Following the amount of players making Livestream minecraft, in addition to word-of-mouth, the probability that the amount of copies sales will double this week is very high!" Alex was excited as he analyzed the game's sales statistics.
"Today I will feast on celebration!" Alex said excitedly as he opened the system store and prepared to choose a good meal.

Alex was looking at this option wondering whether or not he should buy it. If he converted the GPs to dollars, this burger would cost $400... it was a much higher price than he was used to paying for food, considering that each CupNoodles cost 0.05 GPs.
"Today is a day of celebration, I should enjoy it." Alex thought hard as he bought this $400 burger .
Looking at the packaging, it didn't look much different from the sandwiches he'd eaten in his previous world, but as he bit down, Alex could easily tell he felt an orgasm of flavors.
"This is worth every penny..." Alex said as he panted after taking the first bite of that divine burger.
While eating Alex even forgot the things he constantly thought about the game he should improve.
But as soon as he stopped eating those thoughts came back to him again.
He had an idea of
something he could do to improve Minecraft to attract new players, and keep retaining old players as much as possible.
Kurt and 4 more X-Men had decided to buy a Minecraft server and $1 . Initially they intended to buy a server for 100 players, to accommodate as many people as possible, but he figured that too many people in a world could just become disorganized, so he and the top X-Men had decided to buy a server just for them.
The team consisted of Kurt (Nightcrawler), Kitty Pride (Shadowcat), Scott Summers (Cyclops), Jean Gray (Marvel Girl) and Anna (Rogue).
They had formed this team to try to kill the dragon that existed in the game, they didn't know what the reward was for slaying the dragon, but they figured it would definitely be something very good, and the experience of fighting without their powers was something very new, which made the group's synergy evolve even more.
Among the group of 5 players, 4 of them were extremely excited while playing minecraft.
Scott was so happy to be able to walk without having to wear sunglasses all the time.
Jean was happy that she didn't have to control her own powers within the game and was listening to other people's memories all the time.
Kurt was glad he could have normal skin, not being a little embarrassed by the blue hairs that came out of him.
And Anna was the most emotional person among them, as inside Minecraft she could touch other people without being afraid.
Anna could tell that the happiest moments she's had in recent times have been inside Minecraft, especially being able to hug her friends all the time, it was something she had never felt before.
She had purchased Minecraft because of Kurt's insistence that the game was a lot of fun. Unlike Kurt, Anna wasn't very fond of video games, but Kurt was so persistent and mysterious about it that she had no choice but to buy the game with some of the money she had saved.
Upon entering the game, like any new player, she had been both frightened and amazed by this square and colorful world.
Initially she just wanted to play this a little bit to make Kurt happy, but after starting to play it for the first time, she only realized that she had spent 5 hours playing it after Kitty poked her in the back in real life while she was in the game world.
As Kitty knew Anna's powers, she only touched the part that had clothes.
But Anna's surprise came the next day, when she logged into the "Hypixel" server to meet with Kurt.
When she entered the server, Anna was a little scared and lost. There were hundreds of square people walking around near her, and she was too scared to touch anyone.
But at some point she felt a hand on her shoulder, and worse, that hand had lightly touched her bare neck!
Frightened, Anna pulled away from the person's hand as she looked back, afraid she had killed the person who had touched her, but unlike what she imagined, the person was perfectly fine, as if nothing had happened.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't take your shoulder like that all of a sudden." The man said with an embarrassed smile as he scratched the back of his square head.
Seeing that he was okay, Anna was shocked as she watched this man. He wore a brown shirt, with long black hair and a red cape that made him look like a hero in the game.
"That... no problem, I just freaked out." She said a little shy as it was the first time someone had touched her and she didn't fall into a coma.
"It's okay, it's my fault. I just saw that you were still wearing the Female Standard Skin and decided to show you where you can change your appearance. But if you feel uncomfortable there's no problem." The man responded with a smile.
Anna looked over the top of this man's head and saw that his name was [Notch ], which was a name she had never seen before.
"It's okay, you didn't feel anything touching me?" Anna asked, but soon realized the ambiguity of her words and added. "I say... aren't you feeling uncomfortable?"
Notch was confused by her question and looked at his own square body before answering. "No? I feel like I'm perfectly fine, why?"
Anna was shocked by this but responded quickly. "It's nothing, I was just worried that my fright had affected you."
"Nah, I'm a tough person, it takes a lot scarier things to scare me hahaha." Notch replied with a smile.
"Do you...do you mind if I try to touch you?" Anna was very curious about this, and couldn't help but ask. But right away she noticed the ambiguity of her words again and complemented it with an apology. "I mean, the game is very different, I want to see what it feels like to touch here, to see if it feels like real life."
Notch raised his eyebrows at this and felt it was plausible, after all, even his previous world's most advanced VR technology couldn't reproduce the touch sensation like current Minecraft did.
"All right." He said with a smile as he held his hand out to her.
Anna realized that she shouldn't have asked this, as in case something went wrong, she could leave this man in a coma, but her curiosity was consuming the girl. This was her first opportunity to touch other people without feeling so guilty, and if it really worked, this game could change her life.
Still a little apprehensive, Anna was about to give up touching this man, until he suddenly reached out a finger and poked her wrist where the skin was exposed!
Anna looked startled at the touch, then turned to the man worriedly. But seeing how he had a smile on his face like everything was fine, Anna's heart suddenly sped up.
