Chapter 482 - The Promotion Game!
Felix spent two seconds scrolling through the entire list of rules and removed it after realizing that all the rules were the same.
He understood each one of them and why they were implemented.
First, the reason the players were capped at 30 was to make it slightly easier for the players to win the game and enter the platform.
After all, winning a game against 30 players wasn"t as difficult as doing so against 100 players.
Meanwhile, the second rule was placed to avoid having multiple players from the same race allying and ganging up on the rest.
It was to be expected that players from the same race would find it more trustworthy to help each other than ally with other races.
As for the 3rd rule, it was implemented to make the game standard random format that was based on each player"s luck.
The promotion game was an important step that needed to be as fair as possible to every player.
On the other hand, the streaming revenue might seem like it was butchered but one shouldn"t forget that the game would be played universal-wide.
The exposure was beyond ma.s.sive and if the game was popular, the viewers.h.i.+p could reach up to hundreds of trillions of unique viewers!
0.5% streaming revenue off that was still beyond worth it to partic.i.p.ate in those games and aim for the champions.h.i.+p!
The other rules weren"t too important as they were somewhat similar to what Felix experienced in his previous games.
Hence, Felix didn"t hesitate to voice his request, "Queen, I want to partake in the promotion game."
"Are you certain?" The Queen asked for a confirmation.
"Yes!"
Immediately after, he was transported to another holographic tab, where it had a colorful b.u.t.ton in the middle.
Without wasting time thinking too much about the formats, Felix instantly pressed the b.u.t.ton and watched the colorful wheel emerge then spin rapidly.
"Stop!"
Ting Ting Ting....Ting!
The wheel span for a few more seconds before stopping exactly on a purplish board.
A moment later...>Congratulation on picking Puzzle Format!<
Felix"s brightened up after seeing it. He loved puzzles in his previous life and was actually winning most of his puzzle games on the platform.
In this life, he wanted nothing but battle format since he always had an overpowering strength against other humans. But in the UISG?
He might not be the strongest in battle formats since there were some races that could strike his defenseless mind, bypa.s.sing his abnormal physical strength.
Hence, he would gladly take puzzle format. especially when his cognitive skills and memory were enhanced immensely.
"Let"s see what we will get." Felix rubbed his hands and pressed on the b.u.t.ton for the 2nd wheel. With held breaths, he focused on the needle spin round and round...Until it started to slow on its own.
Ting Ting Ting....Ting!!

Immediately after, a side hologram emerged, showing its details.

Good luck to all partic.i.p.ants.//
"Interesting concept." Felix scratched his chin while rereading the rules.
He never played or heard of this game before and from its rules, he could see that it requires a lot of intelligence and foresight to win it.
"So, 100 apartments but only 30 are occupied. This means that it would be challenging for the players to find out what apartment their key could open." Felix noted down the first point he concluded from the apartment system.
He understood that there were many layers of depth to this rule only.
For example, the players were allowed to leave their rooms during the daylight to scout. At the same time, they could also remain hidden in their apartment from the very first cycle!
This would give them a slight chance of knowing their hunter after he tries to open their apartment while they were still inside of it!
After all, how would he know if anyone was inside when it was common sense to take advantage of the daylight to scout for the targets?
"d.a.m.n, if I still had my perfect copy and senses sharing abilities, I could easily leave a copy inside while I head to scout other apartments." Felix shook his head with a wry smile.
In this game, his sand abilities would have made it much easier for him to confuse the players and mess with their minds.
Alas, he had already reached 51% in his integration and he was now the owner of six lightning-based abilities.
Four pa.s.sives and two actives abilities...
For the pa.s.sives, he currently possessed, *Lightning Immunity*, *Lighting Quick Reflexes*, *Super Discharge*, and lastly, *Electrical Telepathy*.
The newest pa.s.sives that he unlocked at 45% were quite a niche in their utilization, unlike the first two pa.s.sives.
However, in the right conditions, they would become G.o.dlike abilities.
As for the active abilities, Felix unlocked *Electrical Pull* and, *Electrical Field*. They weren"t full destructive abilities but they had their amazing utilization as well.
Especially electrical field that could be used even as a defensive mechanism plus provide Felix"s the ability to charge his Avion evolutionary trait, the lightning absorbers.
"My lightning abilities will work just fine in this format...Plus" Felix snapped his finger creating a dark misty sphere and said while licking his lips, "I can finally go all out with my poison manipulation."
Felix might not have mastered inner manipulation or external manipulation but his progress was good enough, he was capable of using the most known active poisonous abilities instantaneously!
This was going to provide him with such versatility that humans could only wish to obtain.
If only his external manipulation wasn"t absolute c.r.a.p, he would have possessed the ability to spew out his poison naturally and shape it up as he pleased on the outside instead of being forced to do it internally.
But...a step at a time and he would get there eventually.
For now, he could only drop everything at once and focus purely on a.n.a.lyzing the rules of the game to create a plan that would set him straight to victory!
