typically, people with wealth value stability over slight marginal gains from chance. Most people on the street, when offered $20 or a 50% shot for 50$ would choose the 20 despite it having a lower expected value. As the gamble here had a LOWER expected value than the garuntee, going with it truly made no sense at all... it's just not how people who plan for the long term think. this whole ordeal would be so much more acceptable if the potion was sold at, at minimum, 15 or so billion. (I'm assuming that the total gp value was 1 billion) if he was a person coming from an impoverished background, such frugality would be understandable and offer a chance for character development, but with his wealthy, educated, background, going for a gamble with lower expected value is nigh inexcusable. gods this whole thing bothers me so much
Regret started to wash over Felix like a tide after recalling that he gave up on the elemental potion for 9 billion SC.

literal idiot for not buying the 9b one. I will keep on commenting this. it was such a forced plot contrivance that I think it annoys me even more than all the time he spends being all disgusting and lusty.
"It failed, my materials, my money, my game points, all lost..." Unresponsive to Asna's taunts, Felix kept murmuring to himself in a daze.

again, not buying the 9b one was such a weird, unthought out, course of action.
He might not show it but he honestly was scared shitless that the concoction would fail, wasting at least 4 billion SC of materials and 12k game points.

like seriously, do you actually think all orbits are circular? just take an example everyone knows of, like halley's comet. that thing gets 70x further than its closest point every single time it orbits. The orbit is completely stable, no one is moving it in or out.
All of this caused by the unique orbit that their planet had around their star. For half a year the planet gets a bit too close to the sun while in the other half, the planet strays further away.

... if the success rate is almost less than 50% and a single batch of ingredients, excluding what he previously bought in earlier places, is already 4b(plus the commission price of like 600m? I don't remember), isn't that 9b a good deal?
Still, Felix spent four billion SC to secure an entire batch of materials in the Materials Auction. He preferred holding into his game points whenever he could buy anything with coins.

some? empirically, better than all the ones in this game.
"Is it just me or are those golems even better than some gold players?" Lisa commentated with a speechless expression.

This meant those who were unwilling to participate were forced to join whether they liked it or not!

original Fragments of a World
Complacency is the embodiment of ignorance. To seek knowledge wholeheartedly is the only way to banish lies and falsehoods. When your entire knowledge of the world you live in is wrong, how do ascend from unawareness? Jeffery lives on Amer, a country descending from what was once the strongest country in the world. Now, it's riddled with revolution and war, and sealed from the rest of the world. A magical storm surrounds it, slowly chipping away at its foundations. Amer is falling, while Jeffery has the potential to rise. He gains the opportunity to become a mage, and he tries to unravel the mysteries surrounding his world, but can a puzzle ever be completed with only the edge pieces? ------------------------------------- The author of this book is a bored person who has some free time to waste and wants to improve his writing. plz give critique and help boost my gpa. plz.

Felix gulped a mouthful as his senses warned him that saying yes was nothing good. But, he completely ignored them and nodded his head firmly, "I will be honored!"
