5 hours later...
Felix was back in his Androxa house after he spent the last five hours jumping from a shop to a shop and from a city to a city, securing whatever sand stones he saw insight.
He also bought poison stones to be purified by Asna and used as a backup energy source. He wasn't a retard to use sand stones for that purpose. As for the five companies? He already gave a call to Mr. Igris, his investnt manager, and gave him a mission to investigate those companies first before buying shares of the best one.
He wired him 200 million SC as capital and warned him that he expects to have at least 4% of shares.
This left Felix with 500 million SC in his bank account.
Felix didn't want to go full ham on shares, as he wasn't relying on his mories but on Jadie's recomndation. Thus, he didn't know if they would go up or not.
Plus, Felix was simply aiming to get priority on high-grade sand stones by being a shareholder.
After he finished buying the amount needed, he would put his shares back on sale with the sa pricing. Just like this, he wouldn't be putting his coins in a company with an uncertain future. Though, he would expect a quite delay before his coins get back to him.
The only reason he wasn't investing in other big-league companies that had their stocks surge to the roof in his previous life was due to the fact his capital and expenses were always holding him back.
After all, when compared to movies or series, which get released pretty quickly, giving Felix his returns within a couple of months, the companies' stocks, were going to raise only after creating an astonishing product, found a mineral-rich planet, or had in general an incident that made their stocks smash through the roofs.
Those incidents weren't instantaneously, as the earliest one that was going to happen for a company, which Felix had his eyes on for a while, was in the next year or so.
Felix didn't have enough capital to support him, don't even ntion putting hundreds of millions in stocks, that were going to raise only a year later.
That being said, after the series >My Love Rival is < gets aired, making him earn billions of profit, he would start putting so of his capital on those stocks and leave them be until they bore fruits.
...
After Felix took a shower, he sat in his usual spot in the living room.
He took a deep breath and opened his profile interface. Imdiately after, he scrolled down and clicked on a >new gaCongratilation on picking The King of The Island Ga!<
"Not bad!" Felix grinned widely in delight, as he played this ga before in his previous life. Well, obviously he didn't win it, but still, he had so experience playing it.
Without further ado, he looked to his right and started reading the hologram details of the ga.

"Everything is the sa, except for the number of players." Felix rested his chin on his hand as he thought of the ti he played this ga.
The numbers of players were fewer than this, as he played it when he was in gold rank. All he rembered was that it was one of the wildest and hellish experiences he ever had.
The mont a player gets hold of the Crown, he will get collapsed at by tens of players coming from all sides of the island. And It was impossible to hide in so corner as the location transmission was implented to stop that.
The fact that the Crown could only be dropped after killing the original holder just made the ga deadlier for the players.
Do you want to win? Just hold the Crown until the duration passes. Simple as that.
However, Felix still rembered that no one actually dared to touch the Crown in the first hour or so. Even the first holder threw it the instant he got it like he was throwing a hot potato.
This totally made sense as no one was that retarded to make themselves a target for a hundred players during the first minutes of the ga.
That being said, the SGA put a quite worthy incentive to tempt the players into holding the Crown during the first minutes.
That was making the Crown holder get 500 GP every ten minutes that the Crown remains in his possession!
Felix didn't know if the amount was going to remain the sa or change in this ga. The only way to find out was by asking in the Ga Hall.
As for the hidden addition? Felix already knew what was about to be added, as he experienced it first hand in his ga.
After rereading all of the rules again, Felix waved the Wheel and the ga details from his face. He then requested from the Queen to search online for his ga.
A second later, a list that had a whopping 10 >King of The Island< gas was displayed before him.
Felix ignored the gas, which were played in other human empires, and focused on the Mariana empire's gas.
Soon, he found the one he was at and clicked it, making it display all of its public details. Just like always, Felix went straight for the players' list.
//Participants List:
> Farforce_5844: Silver Rank, Low-Tier Wins 6 / Losses 16. (For more details click on the na)
>Alphatech_1497: Silver Rank, Mid-Tier, Wins 5 / Losses 10. (For...)
>...
> Clusterfire_7934: Silver Rank, Mid-Tier, Wins 7 / Losses 13. (For...)
> Unpaid Landlord_6996: Bronze Rank, Peak-Tier, Wins 2 / Losses 0. (For...)
>...
> Biohunter_6687: Silver Rank, Peak-Tier, Wins 9 / Losses 7 (For...)
> Grimmind_10222: Silver Rank low Tier, wins 6 / losses 17. (For...) //
After scrolling to the bottom of the list, Felix found out that he was the only bronze player in the entire list!
"Why most of them have three tis losses than wins?" Asna asked with a playful look.
"Isn't it obvious?" Felix clarified with a hint of sympathy in his voice, "They were the losers, add ons, who wins gas only if by luck or getting their so of their favorite formats."
"Oh? Just like you." She chuckled at his trembling lips, "You lost at least 15 gas until you finally made it into gold rank."
Felix didn't even lash at her, as it was his fault for falling in such an obvious attempt of teasing. It was clear that she read his mories and knew beforehand, but asked to make fun of his garbage performance in his past life.
Though, ntioning so brought him so unpleasant mories, like the fact he had to pause his integration in peak 1st stage of replacent until he got out of silver.
The Supremacy Gas wasn't rciful at all to losers like him, as it set a specific range of strength between ranks that couldn't be broken.
For example, the integration allowed in bronze to silver was from lesser purity to peak 1st stage of replacent.
This ant the players in silver rank, who broke through the 2nd stage of the replacent would not be allowed to play in the platform anymore as their strength outclassed their rank.
The platform could add specific silver gas, where those with 2nd stage or replacent could compete in. But why would they do so?
They were trying their best to minimize the number of players in this overcrowded platform. And by being proactive in keeping those losers, it would defy what they were seeking.
Obviously, the players didn't want to be kicked out of the platform, as it ant, heading to the real universe to do clan missions, hunting beasts, and such for gathering their resources.
They would rather halt their integration than ending up with such a fate.
Nevertheless, there was a silver lining about this. As the more gas one plays, the more experience he gathers, making him enhance his chances of gaining victory.
As long as they continue to survive and grid in the gas, they would definitely get out of their rank at so point.
The sa happened to Felix in his previous life, as he had his integration halted in peak 1st stage of rep for at least three years until he finally made it out of silver rank.
That being said, everything had an opposite, just like there were losers in the gas, having a trash 30% win ratio, there were winners, who had either a 50% win ratio or above.
Solar Mist, Spirit Visage, Hound Stench, and the rest of the hardcore players in the shuffle maze were those winners.
Felix knew that he had to watch out for players like them in the upcoming ga. Thus, he swiftly started scouting the players with the highest win ratio, spending hours marking the players' nas and their abilities in his mind.
After he was done, he went to the garage and took his car out, driving towards the training center.
He wasn't planning on wasting those five days without practicing strategies and tricks to win the ga.
He was aiming higher than just winning the ga!
