Supremacy Games

Five days later, one hour before entering the Game Hall...

Felix was sitting in his real-life room while browsing through his Fanclub's website. The only word that could describe the website chat's room was excitement.

Pure excitement and eagerness of Felix's upcoming game! From time to time Felix would spot a hashtag that was used a lot in the chat, The Lord's Return!

Well, it was to be expected that his fans reacted this excessively as their idol had gone missing for almost four months and when he finally registered in a game, it turned out to be in a f*cking gold rank!

Some of them were worried sick, spamming in the chat questions about Felix's survivability against peak 2nd stage bloodlines while the majority were too excited to care.

Felix had shown them too many miracles in the past games. They stopped doubting him and just believed in everything he was planning on doing!

The only thing that brought the mood down in the chat room was the cries and whines of the poor fans who couldn't afford to watch either on the stream or live.

The tickets were pricy reaching up to 1500 SC and they weren't going to pay the basic subscription monthly fee of 20k SC to watch the gold game stream.

But Felix didn't react much to their frustration as he closed the website and entered his spatial card interface.

He scrolled down until he saw a blue small chest at the bottom. He clicked it and it was beamed on his hand.

Felix opened the small box and brought out a lustrous azure chicken leg.

This was Malon Fish Chicken Leg, an item he obtained inside the Hidden Compartment chest in Maze Shuffle.

Felix always kept it in his spatial card, waiting for the day when it would be useful to him.

Finally, he was going to participate in a water-based game where breathing underwater would be extremely useful.

"Is it really worth it?"

A bit hesitant, Felix brought the chicken leg next to his mouth and left it right there. His mind was telling him to eat it but his heart said the opposite.

Who could blame him for reacting like this?

The Malon Fish Leg could potentially be sold for 300 million SC+. If it was going to give Felix permanent underwater breathing, he wouldn't even hesitate.

Too bad, the effect was temporary, lasting for only a single year. This consumable item was perfect for people going on ruins exploration at the seabed of Oceanic Planets.

But in the case of Felix, he was going to use it mostly for the games. He doubted that he would land in many water-based games in the next year.

So, was it worth it to eat it or not?

Slap!

Felix smacked his cheek until it got reddened. But, his hesitant eyes were no more as only clear clarity could be seen in them.

'I would rather regret wasting money than regret not wasting it!'

Chump! Chump!
