I had more fun than any amount of rings could get me! (Not to say I didn't gain financially, because I did gain some wealth.)
Really? Because if you had any rings at all, you'd basically be invincible as long as you held onto at least one ring, barring falling into a bottomless pit, or getting crushed by spikes (but how often do you even see those these days?).
And 100 rings would give you an extra life. Considering you have
at most 1, that would be a fine investment indeed. Imagine the daring shit you could do without worrying about dying?
And don't get me started on the fun you could have with
the one ring. You could turn invisible. That would be quite the treat for a teenage male. As long as you use it sparingly, you'll last a while before it destroys your soul.
