Bab 185: 184 - Taking advantage of the Hype
At that moment, Hulk was frustratedly looking at the broadcast on the gigantic screen with Ned next to him.
Peter had disappeared for some reason, saying he had to go help his aunt, Ned offered to help, but Peter refused and quickly disconnected from the game.
So because of that he didn't see that the battle ended within a few minutes after he logged out.
As Peter left, it was just Hulk and Ned left watching the broadcast on the TV in Ned's apartment at the Oasis.
With the amount of money Ned was earning monthly on Twitch, he was already a true millionaire, both providing a much better quality of life for his parents in real life, and taking advantage of every possible luxury available at Oasis.
One of these luxuries was a gigantic apartment that the player could compare as an upgrade to the free apartment that the game offered.
Not only did Ned buy the biggest apartment, but he also hired a girl who became quite famous working in Apartment Design for Oasis.
As the construction, decoration and objects available in Oasis were very different from those in real life, the decoration in this world was also very different, which meant that a new profession had emerged for people with more money.
The money Ned spent hiring this Designer was easily more than 10 times the price he spent to buy this apartment.
"Hulk wanted to be there…" Hulk said frustrated as he clasped his hands tightly and looked at the battle that was happening on the screen.
Looking at Hulk and how big he was in the game, Ned couldn't resist asking. "Are you as big in real life as you are in the game?"
Initially Ned thought that Hulk was just a child, but over time he realized that Hulk had already been involved in real battles in the real world, so for him Hulk was possibly a man with slight intellectual problems, or someone extremely innocent, or simply someone with a disability.
Looking at himself, Hulk thought for a while and responded. "No, Hulk is a little bigger in real life."
Which really shocked Ned, as Hulk was 2.5 meters (8.2") in Oasis.
"Do you have some kind of power? Like mutants?" Ned asked.
"Hulk doesn't know, Hulk has always been strong." Hulk grumbled as he looked at the television and imagined himself fighting the aliens just like Notch.
Frustrated at not being able to fight, Hulk got up and decided to expend the anger he had accumulated. "Hulk will kill monsters."
Living with Hulk for so long, Ned had already understood that Hulk was going to Elder Scrolls: Warcraft.
"You go, Hulk, I'm going to prepare for the next Livestream. With this alien invasion maybe I can think of something to attract more audiences to the Stream." Ned spoke as he opened the Forum and looked for what topics were trending.
Disregarding the generic news about the alien invasion, there was something that caught his attention.
A compilation of ESW Players helping in battle using the powers they learned in the game.
Seeing this, Ned already knew what his focus would be for the Stream he was going to do today.
Instead of connecting to ESW like he did in the last few Streams, this time Ned had a different idea.
With the popularity of Players using ESW skills to fight in the battle of NY, Ned decided to invite the other famous Streamers he had befriended to do a debate stream.
Where these Streamers, together with their Chat, would try to put together a Tier List of the best Skills that people could learn at ESW to use as powers in battles in the real world, as well as superheroes.
Considering the popularity of Ned and the Streamers he would invite, in addition to the popularity of the topic they would talk about, Ned was sure that this Stream would have hundreds of millions of people watching!
As expected, when the Streamers heard Ned's idea, they didn't think twice before accepting and quickly opened Stream.
To create as much Hype as possible, they started with Rank F Skills in the List tier, until they reached Rank S after a few hours, increasingly increasing the number of viewers watching the Streams.
The popularity of this became so great that even Notch was surprised when he received a notification from Oasis informing him of the number of viewers that Ned's Livestream was receiving.
Currently there were 1.9 billion people watching all these livestreams simultaneously.
With the popularity that this subject had, not only were common people interested in knowing which powers would be the best to learn in real life for each class so far, but especially governments around the world were also paying attention to this.
Considering the experience that Ned and the other Streamers had on this subject, as they played for at least 16 hours a day, they were probably the Players who knew the most about this currently, which made governments also pay very close attention.
And Notch who was currently preparing to also open a press conference at Oasis to talk to the people about the invasion that happened today, received an important notification from Oasis.
[Currently, of the 193 countries in the world, 190 have already contacted Notch wanting to obtain some type of benefit. Do you want to answer any of them?]
Thinking a little, Alex initially just intended to reject these politicians, as he knew how irritating they all could be, especially with the experience he had dealing with NY politicians, but thinking about Oasis' development in this world, he knew that this could be a great opportunity for him.
Unlike the Avengers in the original Marvel films, Alex had an advantage that none of them had: he was completely neutral.
Even though the first in-person event he did was in the USA, the games made by Mojang and all the content available on Oasis, everything was available in all the world's languages, not just with a mechanical translation following the words in the literal sense of the concept original, as something adapted in a way that embraced all cultures in the world.
This meant that everyone who entered Oasis thought they were in a world made by someone from their country, everyone they talked to in the game was simultaneously translated into the native language of whoever was listening.
So unlike the Avengers, who were obviously a group of exclusively American heroes, in the view of other countries, Oasis was practically a local hero factory, which could make heroes as good as the Americans!
Thinking about how he could get benefits from it, Alex had some plans.
His idea for the press conference was to deal with three important topics.
The first was to talk about the alien invasion and how much danger the planet is in.
The second topic was to talk about Need For Speed, which would take advantage of the Hype of the attack to have an even more explosive launch. Of course, considering that people's focus was on getting ESW powers and didn't care much about the racing game, Alex knew that he could just develop in-game tournaments with rewards like Minecraft's Golden Apples and that would already bring billions of people into it. Play the game.
And the third topic would be to propose a partnership with governments, where he had an idea that would be difficult to obtain approval in ordinary times, but that currently with the need for governments to be able to stay on good terms with him because of their powers, he could implement this and finally consolidate itself on the planet as something rooted in everyone's lives.
