Supremacy Games

After going around the market two times in a row and still coming up with either don't have it or sold out, Felix decided to take a quick break and continue browsing.

He was planning to camp in the market until he gets what he wanted.

After all, the gathering was going to last for three days, this meant there would be new sellers tomorrow replacing the ones, who had all of their stock either bought by shoppers, or players from the game they got the Prize Pool!

Felix knew that Prize Pools weren't monopolized by one player or two, but by all the players participating in that said game.

For example, Felix's current Prize Pool was being shared by all the surviving players from the shuffle maze. The stock was being shared as well!

This meant the Prize Pools don't really last for long before getting all of the good items wiped out clean.

This was the reason, the Ivy League made three days gathering each month. They wanted to give the sellers and the buyers a specific period to do business before the Prize Pools gets sapped out.

Heck, the majority of the players in the league were playing games exactly one day before the gathering so if they made it out alive, their stock would be still full and fresh.

Two days later at 06:00 AM...

Felix was standing in the middle of the market with his hand in the air. A few seconds later, the Queen's monotonous voice resounded in his mind with a sentence he heard about thousands of times now, "The material has not been detected in this area."

'F*ck my life.' Felix massaged his weary bloodshot eyes in frustration.

He was awake for straight 54 hours now, and even though he was in the UVR, his brain still needed rest from being active for such a long period of time.

Just as he planned to lower his hand and move to another area, the Queen's informed him, "The material has been spotted. The seller is being marked."

Ecstatic, Felix opened his bloodshot eyes widely as he kept looking around, wanting to find the marked seller. Soon, he saw a female player, who had absolutely no one next to her.

Immediately after seeing so, he understood that she had just sat in her position and was about to start selling her products.

Without delaying for a split second, he dashed towards her and said softly, "I want to buy an uncommon elemental flower."

"Why talk so soft? Am I not selling just an uncommon elemental flower?" She said while laughing out loud, making her voice reach the ears of the players near them.

She understood that he didn't want others to hear about the flower so he wouldn't have anyone contesting for it.

But, was she his sister to give him such a freebie?

"Uncommon elemental flower?! Nice, I got just enough for it."

"Finally! Been searching for it for a month now."

"Yes! I need just 3% to reach a 70% affinity rating."

More and more players kept gathering around them as the news was being spread further and further in the market by the loud chatter.
