The news about the golden apple made Minecraft have another sales boom, now people weren't joining the game just for fun, there were millions of people joining the game with the aim of learning about the game as quickly as possible to be the most useful as possible in war.
Alex was looking at the stats quite satisfied after waking up.
[Minecraft]

Less than 24 hours after the event started, Minecraft went from a game with 200,000 players to a game with 4 million players.
Alex knew that the amount of people who knew about Minecraft was much higher, mainly from the fact that he opened Twitch and saw that there were millions of viewers watching Minecraft, but after all, Minecraft was very mysterious.
A game that used people's minds to control the characters was something that a large part of the population was still afraid of, it's not like everyone will see a news in one day and on the same day already buy the game to start playing, even more so after seeing government warnings about the danger of Minecraft.
Instead of acting like lab rats for this game that came out so recently, people preferred to stop and wait to see what would actually happen. As tempting as the golden apple was, their lives even more tempting.
Not to mention that Minecraft stated that Strength and Lucky potions will still be sold as prizes to the best players, so people still felt they had a chance to get valuable things in the future.
Of course, Alex was already expecting this, in fact, Alex was more pessimistic than optimistic about it.
In Alex's mind, Minecraft would need at least 4-5 days after the event to reach 10 million players, but after looking at the current data, Alex has already realized that probably even today Minecraft would reach 10 million players.
"Acting like Herobrine is very tiring, I think I can finish this attack today and start preparing the new game starting tomorrow." Alex said to himself as he ate an English breakfast before entering Minecraft.
Inside Minecraft, players in Hypixel were already getting ready for Herobrine's next attack.
Fortunately the city of Hypixel was very big, to the point that even with almost 3 million people connected the city was still quite spacious and no one was squeezed.
Of course, to fit in the 3 million people people had to spawn far away from each other, and if friends wanted to meet up, they would have to send each other's location through the friends list and use jump points to jump from one place. to another faster.
During the time between yesterday's attack and now, the players' command center has been greatly expanded. As much as players with Ender Dragon capes wanted to monopolize decision-making power, they knew it would be impossible to do so with an army of 3 million people.
So several divisions were made. Some people were responsible for logistics, others were responsible for guiding novice players, others were responsible for the battle itself, others led reconnaissance to know where the monsters would spawn, others handled communication, among many other functions.
Of course, there were many people who were dissatisfied with being just soldiers and wanted to be one of the commanders as well to be more participatory and have a greater chance of receiving the golden apple, but that was impossible, since if that were the case the army would have more commanders than what soldiers.
Because they couldn't command, thousands of people decided to ignore these players and create their own army, where they convinced soldiers from the main army to come out and join them, with many promises about a better chance of winning the golden apple.
So the main army was separated into smaller armies.
But even with these small armies emerging, the vast majority of novice players joined the main army, as it was the largest army and the one with the greatest chance of getting the golden apple, in addition to being the army with the most people to teach new players what to do
Alex had no intention of intervening in this. In the same way that he loved watching videos of players playing on anarchic servers like 2b2t in his previous life, Alex felt like he was seeing anarchy among these players.
Alex even thought that if Herobrine accepted players for his faction, probably half of those players would follow Herobrine, turning this into a big Faction vs Faction battle.
But for now that's not what Alex wanted to do with Minecraft. Alex wanted to make Minecraft more of a relaxing game than a game of wars and battles.
To make players battle Alex intended to introduce other games specializing in this.
Alex's mind was full of roleplaying game ideas that he could make to make this players' desire to war more and more frantic, too bad he only had enough Gaming Points to make a single game.
'In the future I will have a lot of Gaming Points, so I can put my ideas into practice much faster.' Alex thought as he flew invisible and watched these players.
In the end, as Alex flew around invisible, he found something that shocked him.
A group of four players was praying around a pentagram drawn on the ground with dropped items.
'?????' Alex was confused.
But when he got close he almost died laughing.
"Mister Herobrine, we are your most faithful believers, please give us a chance to demonstrate our loyalty, we are willing to give our lives to you!"
"Mister Herobrine, we are your most faithful believers, please give us a chance to demonstrate our loyalty, we are willing to give our lives to you!"
"Mister Herobrine…"
"Mister Herobrine…"
Seeing this, Alex flashed a playful smile and switched from Notch's account to Herobrine's account.
'Let's make this more fun.' Alex thought.
