Hopeless Players

"Ah, are these the people that call themselves players?" Alex asked curiously. It had to be.

"Yes," the man said. "Would you like to help, fellow Daoist?" 

"Yes, yes," Alex said, bringing out some True spirit stones. He handed them to the man who looked at him with a hint of shock in his eyes. 

People usually didn't donate 40 True spirit stones for their causes. 

"Thank you," the man said.

"It's alright. I'm a player myself, so I can understand what they are going through," Alex said.

"Ah, you were one of them as well?" the man asked with a raised eyebrow. "I'm happy to see that you are doing fine."

"Yes," Alex said. "Do most people not deal properly with this?"

The man shook his head. "Breaking down and crying all day long is one of the better scenarios. Given how fast these people breakthrough, it's always a positive if they don't decide to go on a rampage out of their minds."
