Chapter 17.

Sue put the envelope she was carrying on Alex's desk, she had a slightly anxious look on her face, as Alex had made her promise that she would not review the company's income during this time.

Felicia also had an anxious look because she was also present at the moment in which she had made that strange decision on Alex's part.

Alex was the only one who had a calm look on his face, because he already anticipated what the approximate earnings would be during these last weeks, in his free time he always checked the number of active people on his servers.

"Open it" Alex said, but Sue was already stepping forward and opened the envelope, in which there was only one sheet of paper.

But the important thing was the numbers that appeared on the sheet ...

Sue and Felicia's eyes widened when they read the number and the number of zeros it had.

"1,200,000 dollars ... But how is it possible? It has barely been 2 weeks since the game was published" Sue questioned the situation in which she was with a surprised voice. In her head there was still no room for the fact that as a free download game, she could raise such an amount of money in such a short time.

"Hey Alex ... How does the in-game sales system work?" Felicia asked Alex with a shocked face, because she was not even her mother who was a wealthy woman, she had such a lot of money in the bank.

"Haven't I explained it to you?" Alex couldn't help raising an eyebrow in doubt, but Sue and Felicia shook their heads, because all Alex explained was that he would try the game, how it would work, and that it would bring a lot of money, but he never explained how, because he barely mentioned that the game had an integrated shopping system.

"It's simple, each champion of the game has a total of 3 skins at the moment, in addition to their normal appearance, we just have to assume that no person likes to look the same as another in this kind of game, and then when the skins ... to get skins you can get by getting a perfect rating of an S in a normal, ranked, or Aram game. But it can also be purchased directly in the store for a certain amount of EP or better known as Exodus Points, of course the EP can also be used to buy a skin directly, but the only way to get EP is by recharging it in the account. using real money, and the minimum amount to recharge 500 EP is 25 dollars, and the maximum amount is 100 dollars per 2,000 EP, and the payment can be made over and over again to increase the amount of EP in the account" Alex He finished his explanation, both Felicia and Sue were left with their mouths open for this way of making money.

"But ... why do they buy things that don't exist just to use them in a game?" Sue asked with confusion on her face, as she wouldn't pay $ 25 for something that she wouldn't even touch with her hands.

"Since the age of the players ranges from 11 to 30 years at the moment, some are supported by their parents and do not mind spending the money, and others work and since it is their money they do what they want with it" Alex he shrugged, as this was a normal situation.

"Don't they realize that their money just makes them look better in the game? The skins, according to what you explained to me, only change their appearance… "Felicia didn't understand people's behavior at this moment…

"Of course they don't care, they are having too much fun in the game to realize this" Alex said with a small smile, as he already knew that the winnings would only go up in the future.

"I feel a little bad for them ..." Sue had a solemn look on her face, thinking of all those people who didn't know what to use money for.

"Don't do it, after all it's your own choice, I'm not forcing them to pay me." Alex said simply and looked from him to Sue, since she seemed to want to ask a question.

"What will we do with the money right now?" Sue asked Alex, because since he is the president of the company, she should have an idea of ​​how to take advantage of these profits.

"Save it until I tell you, since I feel that soon there will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to invest, and multiply that million by ten or maybe more" Alex couldn't help but think about investing when the shares of the Stark industry fall. On the floor when Tony comes back and announces that they won't be making any more weapons. One would have to be a fool not to take advantage of this opportunity to obtain a share of the resources of the Stark Industries.

Sue looked at Alex with skepticism as Felicia was doing, they weren't sure how Alex was able to predict something like that, but this time they would trust Alex's judgment, because until now no one has been disappointed.

Reed Richards doesn't count...

Time passed and the next day arrived, Alex and Felicia had already arrived Exodus Infinity to continue working, and as always they spent for a moment in the common room, but at this moment everyone gathered to see the plasma screen.

Alex and Felicia also came over to see.

On the screen it said: "Breaking news: Tony Stark appeared after 2 months of disappearance and will give a press conference shortly."

On television it was seen as Tony Stark was followed by many journalists trying to take pictures of him, and the cameras of each television station were taking shots of Tony Stark.

Alex noticed that Tony had some bandages, and that he was somewhat bruised in some parts of his body.

Tony stood in the middle of the dais, brought his face close to the microphone and spoke decisively in his tone and gaze.

"From this moment Stark Industries will no longer manufacture weapons ..."

These words immediately caused a stir among all the journalists; the cameras fired their flashes like crazy, taking hundreds of photos of Tony Stark as he was pushed aside by a bald man.

Everyone in the room was surprised except for Alex, since no one expected that Tony Stark among all the people seemed to want to ruin the future of his company, since Stark only specializes in the creation of weapons ... without the weapons they will lose all your investors.

Including government funding.

Alex smiled because the moment he was waiting for had arrived, and he approached Sue.

End here.
