the prophesied academy arc... even here...
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
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.
again, not buying the 9b one was such a weird, unthought out, course of action.
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.
my dude, elliptical orbits are literally the norm
... 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?
good good good, it makes sense that these exist in the story
some? empirically, better than all the ones in this game.
oh, I see, it's only to stay inside the alliance. that works, could be rephrased to be less clickbait
