When players walked through the portal, they were shocked! What existed on the other side was something very different from the main city of Hypixel, in fact, for someone who was used to playing in this VR world of Minecraft, it was something even more frightening.
Ned didn't know what to do. He was at that time on a floating island in the middle of nowhere, as he looked around he saw a portal on another floating island nearby.
[Wow, what is this? ]
[Ned was banned from Hypixel? ]
[Can Ned break this island? ]
[Idiot, if he breaks he will fall and die. ]
[No imbecile, in Hypixel no one can break or place blocks, is this island a private world for Ned? A place where he can make a house and call friends? ]
[That makes sense! ]
[Damn, after killing Ender Dragon you get a house in Hypixel?! I need to kill Dragon! ]
"Maybe I should go to that portal?" Ned asked the chat. "That portal doesn't look like the portal I came here for, maybe it will take me somewhere else?"
[Perhaps? ]
[It might be... ]
*Punch, Punch, Punch *
Ned was quick and broke the tree with his hands.
[Wow, he really managed to break the tree! It really can make a home in Hypixel! ]
[Damn, I want a house too! ]
But Ned wasn't even thinking about having a place to break and build in Hypixel, but in that portal. He was very curious where this portal could lead him, so with the wood he got from the tree, Ned built a bridge to the other floating island and crossed through the portal.
On the other side of the portal, something even more surprising emerged.
Instead of the generic houses in the traditional Hypixel Hub, in this place the buildings were much bigger and more detailed, Ned could see a bank, a giant farm, an auction house, several things he had only seen in roleplaying games.
[Damn, Minecraft turned into an MMORPG? ]
[My god, this is amazing! ]
[I WANT TO PLAY TOO! ]
[Please someone play with me, let's kill Ender Dragon together! ]
Ned was shocked into place, just looking from side to side curious about this new place.
Until he saw that there were already 7 players in one place... talking to a Villager?
As Ned approached, he saw that it was some of the other players who had also entered the portal. Princess and the 4 Milaje, Kitty and Summers.
"Look, another player has arrived!" Kitty said excitedly as she waved at Ned.
"What are you doing here?" Ned asked confused. "Have you guys found out anything about this place yet?"
"So far we haven't found out much, this Villager said he'll wait for the other players to arrive to explain it to us." Kitty replied with a smile.
"Does the Villager speak?" Ned asked shocked.
"Yes." The Villager replied not very interested.
"Wow." Ned sighed.
[Damn, is this artificial intelligence? ]
[Damn, I didn't think I could talk to the Villagers! ]
[I've tried this before, but they wouldn't answer me. I think this Villager is unique. ]
Within minutes the other players appeared. Finally the Villager looked at the players again and started talking.
"Welcome to the Hypixel Skyblock Experience. As the first players, you were given the right to have a guide with you, initially it was supposed to be just a group, but as you came together it will be easier to explain to everyone at once." The Villager started by saying. "Here in Hypixel Skyblock, each skill has a level, the higher your skill level, the better your proficiency. For example, come to the mine."
Players followed the Villager, passing a large library with an enchantment table in the middle, and a forge with several Villagers working to make items.
"Take it." The Villager said as he tossed a wooden pickaxe to Ned.
Ned took it by reflex. "What do I do with this?"
"Break the coal." The Villager replied.
Ned didn't think much and simply mined the coal. Therein fell two coals, but instead of being an empty place where the ore was, a block of Bedrock appeared there.
"Okay, now what?" Ned asked confused.
"Your mining level is 1, my mining level is 100 . Look at the difference." The Villager said before taking Ned's pickaxe and breaking another block of coal.
To the surprise of Ned's players and spectators, instead of just 2 coals falling from where the block was broken, just like Ned, more than 50 coals fell from there.
"That..." Ned was speechless.
"Damn! How do you do that?!" Kitty asked excitedly.
"It's simple, the more you mine, the higher your mining level gets, the more monsters you kill, the higher your combat level gets, and that happens for all abilities. Come with me." The Villager said as he walked back to the center of town.
Once there, the Villager gave each player 2 coals. "Each item you get can be sold for Hypixel Coins, that is, the higher your skill level, the more coins you can earn, with the coins you can buy divine swords, blessed pickaxes, mythical armor, it all depends on the money that you have it, or if you prefer, you can make these items with whatever resources you can and sell it to other players."
"Damn…" Kurt was shocked.
"Can I get that powerful?" Scott was also shocked.
But then Villager said something that shook these players' minds.
"Mayor elections will take place in 21 days, players will elect a mayor, and the mayor can make requests to game creators. These requests can be money for himself, ease for players, or even make the game harder, as long as it's not impossible, developers will do their best to meet." The Villager said.
[Holy crap... ]
[Fuck, I want to be mayor! ]
[I WANT TO PLAY! ]
But at that point, no one was more shocked and excited than Ned, as he saw the possibility of becoming King of Minecraft for the first time!
At that time there were over 20,000 people watching Ned's Livestream.
As of that day, Shield could no longer control news about Minecraft.
