Bab 73: 73 - Fortnite Tutorial

"So… what should we do here?" Petter asked Ned, confused as he looked around.

Ned was also quite confused, not knowing very well what he would have to do. Fortunately, a few seconds later a screen appeared floating in front of them.

[Welcome to Fortnite, this location is the Hub where you can invite up to 3 friends to form a team. With the team formed, you will be able to join the queue to play with other players.]

[Since you are participating in the Beta version of the game, online game functions will be temporarily disabled.]

"We won't be able to play?" Ned was confused as he wondered what was the point of inviting him to the game if he couldn't even play.

But imagining this doubt, another screen appeared next.

[Here the player can participate in training on Fortnite features and game mechanics.]

[In: 13 hours, 57 minutes and 21 seconds a tournament will start between the 100 participants of the Closed Beta. Take your time to learn about the game, limited prizes will be awarded.]

"So there's going to be a tournament?!" Peter was excited.

But Ned noticed something else. "Apparently the tournament prize will be a limited item, meaning this will probably be as rare for Fortnite as the Ender Dragon skin is for Minecraft!"

Hearing this, not only was Petter shocked, but the millions of people watching the livestream were stunned as well.

They knew how important the Ender Dragon skin was in Minecraft, so seeing that they missed out on getting that award in Fortnite left a lot of people a little disappointed.

[Do you want to start the tutorial?]

A window appeared for Ned and Petter.

With nothing much to do, the two accepted.

After a second, the two found themselves on a school bus.

"What is this? Are we going to the battlefield by bus?" Ned asked confused.

But soon Petter replied shocked. "Ned, look out the window…"

Ned looked at the window and froze.

Unlike Minecraft where they saw the world as blocks, even though the graphics were a little realistic, it still looked like an animated world, but Fortnite was different, although it still looks a little cartoony, Alex made it very realistic using the Game Engine Battle Royale Triple A.

So when Petter and Ned were talking, it was like there really was a person in front of them.

This was a little weird for Ned, who was looking at a tall blond man with Petter's baby voice, but it was even weirder for Petter, who was seeing a pretty woman with brown hair talking with the voice of his friend Ned. .

When Ned looked out the window, in his mind what he was seeing was the real world!

A small one full of little dots like cities, jails, for some reason a giant wooden chair and various other things.

[This is the bus that will take players into battle.]

[You and your companions can make marks on the map just by thinking about it, thus forming a pillar of colored light where you have marked it, so that communication about locations is facilitated. Try to mark it on the map.]

Upon reading this, Ned looked at the strange giant chair and thought of marking it there.

In just a second a red symbol appeared, and at the same time a blue symbol appeared elsewhere, indicating that Petter had also succeeded.

[Very good. On the bus you will have 60 seconds to decide to jump, if the 60 seconds are up and you are still on the bus, all the windows will open at the same time sucking all the remaining players out to be ejected.]

[You have 20 seconds to jump…]

[You have 19 seconds to jump…]

Watching the countdown, Ned was startled to look down, while Petter was still a little better, as he wasn't too afraid of heights.

"Come on Ned, looks like fun!" Petter said excitedly as he moved to the front door of the bus, which had a light indicating they could jump.

Ned tried to calm down as he took shaky steps towards the bus door.

[Lol, stop being scared Ned, jump!]

[Damn, I wouldn't dare to jump from there ever, it's too realistic!]

[I think I don't need to bungee jump anymore and I can just have fun in this new game lmao.]

[…]

Seeing the onlookers mocking him, Ned took a deep breath and started running towards the door, even surprising Petter, who soon went with Ned and jumped right away.

"Woaaaaaahhhhh!!!" Ned screamed in fright as he felt the wind in his face and gravity pulling him down faster and faster.

"Hahahaa!" Ned heard Petter's voice laughing in his ear, as if he were wearing AirPods.

"Stop laughing, Petter!" Ned yelled angrily.

[While free-falling, you can use your body to control where you want to go by leaning over, slowing your fall by staying parallel to the ground, or speeding it up by staying vertical.]

[On your left waist is a Glider that will expand when the button is pressed, this will slow your fall speed, allowing you to fly farther.]

[When you reach 100 meters from the ground, the Glider will automatically open and attach itself to your body, only closing when you hit the ground, so control your falling speed well so as not to be shot before hitting the ground by players who have fallen further fast.]

After this initial surprise, Ned and Petter learned that there are weapons on the ground, chests with random weapons, learned how to use healing and shield items, even learned that they can drive cars they find on the street.

But their biggest surprise was a blue piece of paper with a pencil on their waist, that if they used this magic paper, they could use resources like wood, bricks or metal to build!

Petter spent some time building a wooden house, while Ned used his time to build a brick castle.

When they first learned that you could take resources and build them, they thought this Fortnite looked a bit boring since it wasn't that much different from Minecraft, apparently.

Until when they were in their houses, shots were heard outside, scaring both Ned and Petter!

When they looked out, two people were running while shooting at their houses, running away from a strange purple mist!

Bab 74: 74 - Another Super Soldier?

"Damn it, shoot them back Petter!" Ned screamed furiously when he saw that one of his castle walls was destroyed, ignoring that purple mist a little.

Petter was also angry, since his house was made of wood, which was even more destroyed than Ned's castle, so he also took his machine gun and started shooting.

To their shock, as soon as they fired, the two opposing players started to build a ladder up!

"What are they doing?" Ned was confused as he looked at this ladder.

But soon he understood.

At the bottom of the stairs, the two opposing players were only with the tip of their heads out and with the beaks of their guns aiming and started shooting at Ned and Petter.

"Damn it, they did it to take advantage of HighGround!" Ned was furious and also took the magic paper around his waist and started building walls around it to defend himself.

But before any of the four died, the purple mist finally reached them, causing the two opposing players to ignore Ned and Petter and run back, while Ned and Petter felt their breathing getting heavier, and saw that the health bar of them was decreasing.

"Petter, this fog is poisoned, run!" Ned yelled as he broke into a run, leaving his castle behind.

Petter also understood this, but instead of running out of the mist, he went back to where they were before!

Ned was confused by what Petter was doing, but he trusted his friend and didn't ask any more questions as he continued to run.

Soon he heard an engine noise from behind, and in the driver's seat of a pickup truck was Petter, scared as he drove like a madman!

"Come in, Ned!" Petter gritou.

Ned didn't think twice and jumped into the truck bed, while holding a machine gun and looking for those two opponents.

His heart was beating so fast that he remembered the Hypixel war.

"The last time I felt so much adrenaline was when I saw Notch and Herobrine battle… damn, this is so much fun! Hahahaha!" Ned started laughing like a maniac in the back of the truck.

[This actually looks like a lot of fun…]

[I also want to play!]

[Ned looks like the protagonist of an action movie!]

[…]

The livestream's comments were also shocked by what they were seeing.

The amount of viewers on Ned's live rose from 1.2 million to 2.6 million in a short time.

Not only on Ned's livestream, but on the other 50 livestreams of the participants invited by Alex the amount of viewers was also rising in an abnormal way!

Minecraft in total has doubled the amount of Viewers within minutes of launching the Fortnite beta.

News sites were reporting on Fortnite while pundits were analyzing this new game, trying to make sense of all the new things they were seeing.

The most excited watching the livestreams were Hypixel's Hunger Games players, as they saw that Fortnite looked like an improved version of the Hunger Games! With weapons, cars, construction and many new features!

[I want to play Fortnite!!!] One of the top 100 ranked players in the Hunger Games made an emotional tweet.

Watching livestreams of players playing the Fortnite tutorial, Alex saw that the Hype was growing a lot.

The enemies the players were facing were bots that Alex made to show players that buildings can be used in battle to gain terrain advantage, both for cover and for a better view.

Thinking of those professionals who did several builds per second, Alex just shook his head.

Fortunately most of the players were having fun trying out Fortnite, only a few players got too scared and managed to die to the bots Alex made, even though he set the aim of these bots to be terrible, the players managed to be worse.

Reminding Alex of a famous quote from his previous world. "Don't doubt a player's ability to do shit."

Words that Alex considers very wise nowadays.

He also found out about the Fortnite invite auction, but he didn't worry about that, as it didn't matter to him who was playing tomorrow.

But while that didn't matter to him, Tony Stark managed to corner the auction on one of the tickets, while there was someone very important looking at one of the two tickets left over.

"Hill, keep an eye on the auction for this ticket and make sure you get one for us. As for the other one, just try your luck, if possible, get both, but we only need one." Nick Fury said seriously to Maria Hill, in front of him.

"Yes sir." Maria confirmed before leaving the office.

Fury intended to give the ticket to Clint Barton or Natasha Romanoff, as they were both great marksmen and were his best agents, who could guarantee the prize of the tournament tomorrow.

Seeing how this game worked, Fury had to admit that it looked pretty good for more than just fun.

"If I put my agents to train playing Fortnite every day for two hours, wouldn't that be the same thing as them participating in life and death battles every day? The improvement in each one's strength would be amazing..." Nick started to think on this and felt that his idea was increasingly plausible.

Unfortunately the Golden Apple studies were useless.

Whenever a scientist removed a part of the apple, after 5 seconds that part would dissolve and go back to the apple as if nothing had happened.

Even if a guinea pig ate the apple, within seconds it would reappear intact.

What made them realize that the apple had a connection with Clint was that he could summon the apple back, that is, everything indicated that only he could eat this Golden Apple and receive the benefits that it provided.

After some time of fruitless testing, SHIELD finally gave up on trying to replicate or clone this Golden Apple and decided to just study the results of eating it into Clint's body.

Luckily nothing went wrong, and the results proved that apple actually doubled his power!

Unfortunately for Nick, they failed to learn anything from studying Clint, making all that effort futile.
