Chapter 10: Conversation between two bald men
While the students at Mansion X were excited to know they could get back to playing Minecraft, Alex was flying around the Hypixel server and watching the players in Spectator mode.
It was interesting to see how these people were acting, and strangely these people were like the people in his previous world. The way they talked, the way they acted, it was all very much like his previous world, which gave Alex a sense of familiarity with it.
'It's like I'm still in my old world... there are even people with superhero skins hahaha.' He chuckled as he looked at some players who wore Captain America clothes. 'Is this a parallel reality? A world where there are wizards? After all, I can learn magic through the system, it would be a little weird if I was the only one who could use magic in the world... No, the system said there were mutants too, so maybe it could be a version that there are monsters in the world? Maybe it's a world like Solo Leveling.'
But as he floated invisibly and watched the players, Alex noticed one player different from the rest.
Having been playing Minecraft for at least a few days, most players were already used to the most basic things in the game and focused only on what's new.
But there was a different person.
A single player with long hair was just sitting in a lobby chair and watching the other players. Sometimes he got up and paced, but apparently uncomfortable standing, this player sometimes came back to sit.
Curious, Alex decided to approach this player and try to understand him, after all, for a game developer, understanding his own audience was fundamental.
Flying into an alley, Alex turned off invisibility and approached that player while looking at his Nickname.
[Professor]
"Your Nick will likely become valuable in a while." Alex said as he approached the seated man.
The Professor was surprised by another person approaching him, the first thing he noticed was that person's long hair, which made the Professor feel familiar with this man. 'He must also be bald outside of this game.'
"Like this?" Professor asked curious about the man's statement. He was normally used to always knowing the superficial thoughts of the people around him, but upon entering this world, he found that he couldn't use his own mutant powers, which on the one hand was a little uncomfortable, but on the other hand it was an experience. refreshing.
Alex saw that this player did not understand what he meant and did. 'This player must be a noob.' Alex thought with a smile, happy that even noobs were interested in Minecraft.
"Nicks like 'Black', 'White', 'Blue', 'Red', 'Happy', 'Sad' will be rare nicks in the future, as many people will consider using it as a nick, even 'Professor', as I believe other teachers will also think about using this as a nickname. Maybe in a few years, or even months, some player will contact you in order to buy your nickname." Alex said with a smile as he explained patiently.
Upon hearing this player's explanation, Professor understood what he meant and thought this situation was interesting. He wasn't short of money, so he wouldn't mind money offers for his nickname, but having people interested in it made him feel good.
"What about yours? Will yours also appreciate in the future? Notch isn't something I've heard before." Professor said with a curious expression.
"Maybe in the distant future, but it's not something I can control." Alex replied without explaining why. He didn't want to say that he was the creator of this world and that probably when people found out his nickname he could value himself a lot.
Professor was quite intrigued by Notch's answer, he really wished he could use his powers on this player to know what he was thinking, just like he always did with the people around him, but no matter how hard he tried, it was impossible to use that , it was like he was a normal human in this world, just like the others.
"What's your reason for coming to Hypixel?" Alex asked curiously.
To answer that, Professor thought for a moment and didn't feel that there was any problem in revealing the truth about it. "Some students at my school were playing this game and I was worried that it might be dangerous, so I decided to test it out. I ended up finding out that I could walk in this world again, which made me really like it here. I'm not interested in battles against monsters. or other players, just being able to walk around freely and see people going from one place to another is a lot of fun for me."
Hearing the Professor's response, Alex felt he could understand this man more. Probably a public school teacher who cared about his students, and from what he said about being able to walk, he was probably a wheelchair user, which made Alex feel quite proud.
He thought Minecraft would just be a fun game for people, but finding out that wheelchair users could freely walk around here would probably be of great help for those people in the future.
"I'm glad you liked the game, I hope your students have fun here, but don't leave their studies aside to play too haha." Alex laughed as he answered the Professor.
While the Professor was happy to talk to a person just like him who also had the same insecurity with his own head (he thought Alex was also bald), Alex was happy to talk to such a unique player in his game that he gave some ideas very useful for future Minecraft development.
The two chatted for a few hours, before Alex felt he should go out to follow the game's stats and see if there was anything he could fix.
After saying goodbye to the Professor, Alex went down an alley again and disappeared out of sight.
But what Alex didn't know is that this Professor he thought taught in a public school was actually one of the smartest people on earth. An Omega-level mutant with a Ph.D. in psychology who could read people well even without his own powers.
As soon as Alex left, Professor began to reflect on the conversation he had with this other player.
'He seems like a good person, but the way he locks Minecraft and Hypixel together, he's probably the creator of this world, or one of the creators and seems to be pretty proud of his work, especially seeing so many people having fun here. A force capable of making a parallel world like this one, he must be a much more powerful being than I can even imagine, but luckily he hasn't shown any hostility to humans or mutants, apparently he just wants people to have fun in the world. that he did... like a god!' Charles Xavier was shocked by the hypothesis he made.
'Fortunately he likes people, if not, with the power he has, there would hardly be anyone powerful enough to go against him. I must remember his name, 'Notch', and always keep my guard up. Just in case, try to remain neutral, but if you have to choose between being aggressive or friendly, always be friendly.' Xavier thought as he nodded.
'Now as to the confidentiality of this, I must keep all of this absolutely secret. If anyone finds out about this being, the world could turn to chaos...' Xavier was frightened by the possibility that other people would irritate this person by coveting his power.
While Xavier had his internal monologue and was getting more and more scared, Alex was humming happily as he walked out of the world, thinking how nice it was to talk to a teacher after so long.
He figured that this man must have had a lot of difficulties with the students, since even strong and healthy teachers had problems controlling children, he as a wheelchair person must have 10x more problems dealing with it.
If Alex had known how powerful this Professor was, he wouldn't have thought that at all, but to Alex, 'Professor' was just a nice public school teacher.
