Hearing the amount of benefits that buying this Battle Pass for just $10 would give them, made the less patient players not even think twice about paying!
Especially when they heard that by playing Fortnite with the Battle Pass it was possible to get $15 in credits to use in the Royale Store in the future, even to be able to buy other Battle Passes, it made players feel that they would be idiots if they didn't buy this.
Even players without a lot of money were surprised to discover that just by playing Fortnite with the free version of the Battle Pass, they could get $3 Royale Store credit for nothing!
And that was exactly what Alex wanted, since that was the reason this Battle Pass was so successful in his world, after all, the player would buy the Battle Pass thinking that it was profitable and he would never have to spend money on Fortnite again, since this would earn him more money, but when a cool Skin appears in the store, the player who bought the Battle Pass would probably use the credit he got with the Battle Pass to buy the Skin, so he would need to buy the Battle Pass again, turning so the Battle Pass that in the player's view was something of a single use, for something that he would have to spend money to buy every season!
Seeing the positive reaction from players and viewers in Ned's chat made Alex smile very happily.
[Is it possible to get Skins for free?!]
[Wow, Fortnite is such a revolutionary game and it's already free, now you can even get credits to use in the Royale Store without spending anything on the game, Mojang is the best game developer I've ever seen!]
[Guys, I'm going to buy Herobrine's Skin as soon as I get home!]
[I want this too!]
[I like that outfit that looks like a Hacker from a sci-fi movie, I'm going to buy that.]
[There are so many cool things!]
[I have to convince my mom to let me play Fortnite…]
Player reaction was overwhelmingly positive, and Alex was seeing it live as he looked at the Fortnite numbers going up.
[Fortnite]
[Total Earned - $13,000,000]
[Online Players: 230,000,000]
[Peak Concurrent Players: 230,000,000]
Thirteen million dollars earned in less than 1 hour since the game was released, seeing the number rising so fast was extremely exciting for Alex.
Considering that Minecraft had only sold 100 million copies and that Fortnite already had a player base of 230 million, it was something that surprised Alex quite a bit.
He figured that for Fortnite it would take at least 24 hours to reach 200 million players, as that would be double the total players of the biggest game he had, but he soon understood why.
Despite the game already having 230 million players online, most of these people are not playing with the intention of spending money, and have come to experience it purely because it's free, perhaps if Minecraft was free, these people would have played it too.
"This is understandable, after all, although $20 worth of Minecraft might not seem like a lot of money, for poorer countries that amount represents at least 10% of a person's minimum wage, so when someone goes to buy a game or spend money on a game, that person should consider a lot before actually spending. But with Fortnite it is different, the person can play the game for free and if he really likes it then yes he can consider spending money on it in the future…" Alex soon understood this line of thought . "Maybe it's also a good idea to make a demo version of Minecraft…"
Considering this idea to be a really good one, Alex wrote it down so he wouldn't forget about it later and went back to watching the livestream.
Ned obviously bought the Battle Pass and also gave it to Petter as a gift, as he was making a lot of money on the livestream, spending $20 was next to nothing for him.
Seeing the list of benefits that the Battle Pass gave the player, including 10 very nice Skins, as well as skins for the weapons, gliders, backpacks and many other things, Ned felt that his money was spent wisely, and so did the viewers. thought the same thing, seeing how much benefit it gave.
Looking at Herobrine's Skin, Ned didn't think twice and also bought it before going to a mirror and looking at himself, seeing how cool those white eyes were.
This version of Herobrine was like Notch's version, a realistic model, but with the striking features of those Skins, as Herobrine had bright eyes, but with Steve's clothes, Notch had a different outfit with long hair.
If it was ordinary people who saw it, they would just think it was ordinary people, but Minecraft players already had Notch and Herobrine's appearance engraved in their minds.
Just like the vast majority of Fortnite players who entered the game to experience the battles and were distracted by the interesting stores that were scattered throughout the game, Thor and his friends were also in the same situation.
Luckily they were playing the game next to each other in real life, so when Siff saw that she needed the others' usernames for them to add themselves to the game, she quit the game and woke up the other Asgardians.
So she added everyone and they found themselves in the same lobby.
Although HyCoffe was very interesting to humans, Asgardians didn't think that coffee was that interesting, but there was another place that attracted a lot of attention to them.
PUBg
Next to the PUBg nameplate was a drawing of a large mug of beer, which made the Asgardians forget their purpose here and get lost as they tried many different drinks from various places in midgard that they had never tried.
Fortunately, the "credit card" they had used to watch the tournament the other time was still registered, so they didn't worry about it and drank without thinking about anything else, since until today they had no concept of money from Midgard.
For this group of 5 Asgardians, as long as the person said that he accepted the "credit card" it was the same thing as telling them that it was free, which was great news!
Unlike Kurt and Scott who were fascinated by the NFS Dealership, Jean, Kitty and Anna were only mildly interested in it, but were soon attracted by the clothes in the clothing store and the Royale Store.
"Hey Anna, I like your style!" Kitty said excitedly as she looked at Anna in front of her.
Just as it was possible to buy separate pieces of clothing, it was also possible to buy different hairstyles, so as soon as the girls entered the game they soon changed their hairstyle to something that resembled them, but with a few differences.
Jean had kept her red hair color, but left it very short, something she always wanted to do in real life, but never had the courage.
Kitty was even more radical and shaved the side of her head and just left the top part long, which gave her a very modern look, and as she was petite, it made her look quite unique with that difference.
While Anna, changed her hair all over to a white color while leaving the length of it until it reached her ass.
"Hey, that hair color reminds me of someone…" Jean said jokingly while looking at Anna who was seeing how she would look with the red eye color.
Hearing Jean's comment, she was embarrassed and quickly changed her eye color to brown again, feeling that just white hair was enough for her.
"Did you ask him to play Fortnite?" Kitty asked, also knowing who Jean was remembering when she saw Anna's white hair.
Anna grew even shyer and shook her head as she answered. "I was embarrassed…"
"Really?! But you talk every day!" Kitty was shocked by this.
Even Jean had a surprised expression.
Anna became even more shy. "Once I asked him to play Minecraft, but he said he was busy building something, so I was kind of embarrassed to ask again…"
Jean shook her head and said. "He also has an Ender Dragon cape, you know he's probably going to be in Fortnite, if you call him now he'll probably accept it."
Hearing this, Anna felt that it made sense and nodded her head gathering courage.
Kitty and Jean gave her enough time to work up the courage to do this as they continued with their shopping.
Until Anna finally had the Skin beautiful the way she wanted it, even though she had spent a few dollars to look like this, she felt it was worth it.
"I'll call him!" She said in a confident voice.
What motivated her the most was that here in Fortnite she could touch him without him getting so tired of using his magic, and unlike Minecraft where the characters were square and looked like they came out of a cartoon, in Fortnite they were very more realistic, which made her want to call him even more.
Having made up her mind, she logged out of Fortnite and sent a message to Alex's cell phone.
[Do you want to play Fortnite with me?] - Anna
Seeing the sent message, Anna was quite anxious for his response.
After 3 minutes he still hadn't answered her, which made her a little disappointed, thinking he was already playing and maybe he wouldn't even see her message.
When she was almost ready to go back to the game, she heard the cell phone notification. Quickly glancing at the screen, she saw his answer.
[I would love to play with you! What is your nick?]
Upon seeing his response, Anna broke into a big smile and quickly replied to his message with her Nick for them to meet.
Seeing Anna's message, Alex was excited to play with her too, but he knew he couldn't use the Notch account, so he decided to create a new persona.

Would've been hilarious though if he showed up as Notch. Aaannyways Thanks for the chapter.
What’s the saying? “The -Next- button isn’t working! Please fix.”…
Thanks for Sharing!
Yes unfortunately it works only if you cough up $$. Without it, it won’t even register your presence.
It has already been reported to the relevant authorities and would be fixed in 24 hours. If not it would be within our rights to sue on the counts of exploitation, bribery and emotional damage.
is this a daily upload schedule?
also can you put the schedule on the front page of the story
I suddenly imagined how in this lobby you could find yourself in a dark corner and find the Tarkov bar there. If you enter it, you can see evil bristly men who, when they see the player, approach him, hit him on the penis and throw him into the open doorway.
The player wakes up in God knows where, the silence around is interrupted by occasional shots and painful screams. His penis, face and head hurt. He will soon die of hunger and thirst, while he has only a stick in his hands and only a loincloth on his body. He tries to leave the game, but he fails to do so.
Before he has time to understand what is happening, some wild psycho pounces on him shouting “Food”! He dies for the first time, wakes up again in a different place. This happens again and again, and each time he gets worse and worse, until suddenly the game session ends and the player wakes up in a field of knee-deep grass.
He is asked to leave the game. He feels free and is happy that he has finally escaped from this hell. And just when he is about to return to reality, a hand bursts out of the ground, grabbing his leg, and his head screams “Punch on the d*ck!” While the player in a panic tries to escape from the grip and run away, on the horizon the field begins to transform into “Tarkov”, everywhere in the transformed field people rush through the suddenly appeared doors shouting “Hit the d*ck!” and start killing everyone around.
Finally, “Tarkov” closes in around the player and he wakes up with a wild cry of horror in his apartment. After realizing that he really escaped, does he really relax? No, he looks around with paranoia and quickly runs away to the safest place in the apartment in his opinion, and only after a couple of hours he begins to relax, reacting nervously to any noise.
And so he finally goes to bed, closing all the doors and windows and turning on the lights with relaxing music, when a quiet voice drowns out all the noise and insinuatingly says “Hit on the d*ck.” Something breaks in the Player's mind and he faints with tears streaming from his eyes.
When he's asked tomorrow about the "d*ck Punch" he can only freeze and cry with a nervous smile twitching on his face.
"This is understandable, after all, although $20 worth of Minecraft might not seem like a lot of money, for poorer countries that amount represents at least 10% of a person's minimum wage,
A tenth of the minimum wage? You're too idealistic.
India is a developing nation, and is usually considered to be among the top of the developing nations. And, the minimum wage is about $2.16 per day. So, a worker will have to spend 10 days' worth of money just to buy the game. So, it 1000% the minimum wage, not 10%.
For contrast, the federal minimum wage in the US is $7.25 per hour, with a lot of states having a higher minimum wage rate.
Furnace, put all this together and put the salary per month, how much you earn in the month...I believe he was saying about the monthly minimum wage
@Blumer The salary per month is about $64.8 if the worker works for 30 days a month. And $20 is 32.4% of their monthly wage.
While I would definitely spend that 20 to buy a first fully immersive game, it's not a cheap game, just a regular price. If it were 10, then the game could definitely be called cheap.
Thanks for the chapter! Calling it Jeb would be hilarious, or some reference to a super being that would drive that circle mad.
@Mountainwalker
I was going over some of my past comments, just because, and then I coincidentally read yours… I don’t really remember the contents of this chapter, but your “Jeb” statement got me thinking about weight.
Why Weight? Something heavy? It came from a pun/serious-joke that was from another story... I’ve been reading “There is no Epic Loot here, Only Puns.” by stewart92; it’s another Webnovel. Google search if your interested? The funny “Jeb” pun I’m thinking about, was from chapter 167: Follow The Blue Nu. I’m not sure if it’s as funny when reading things out of context, but it got me to laugh.
So, your comment also got a mildly unaffiliated reference smile from me… Thanks! Hope ya have an awesome day!
how about "Mugetsu" from Bleach? Red eyes & long black hair.
With Anna´s white hair they would have a quasi couplething^^
Thanks for the chapters!
