Chapter 181: Problem with being Rich (2/2)

'Take it slow. There will be other changes for that in the future. Invest these flowers on yourself for now,' he said to himself and started thinking about other things.

”How much did the pills earn?” he asked.

”The pills themselves earned you 29 True Spirit Stones. It was the flower that earned you the rest,” the old man said.

Alex didn't know what else the two said by the time he was already out of the auction house.

'So much money… nearly 400 thousand… do I even have to worry about money anymore? I can just make pills daily and sell them, can't I? I can probably take care of mom and dad like this,' He thought.

'Is that what sister meant when she said to think of this like work? Is this what this is now? Work. I… should start working hard. I will have to earn more money soon,' he thought.

The path back to sect took longer this time since he had a lot on his mind. He slowed down his pace quite a few times even. Slowly a different feeling started to appear in him.

'I can earn money by making a few pills every day. I don't even have to stay online all the time. Why would I even stay online? I don't even need to play the game most of the time. Is that what this is all forcing me to do? Stop playing?' he asked himself.

Having been handed so much money suddenly made him lose all sources of motivation to play the game for fun. He started thinking of how he could earn money or manage his time.

Thinking so, he got back to the sect and went straight to his house. Once he reached there, he decided to send back all but a few spirit stones.

He put in all 400 True spirit stones in the transfer settings and hit send.

<Do you want to send '36000 spirit stones ($360,000) to XXXXXXXXXX343?>

”Uhh… the 10% charge. It took away more than what I earned the last time,” he said as he felt a little annoyed but still clicked yes. The spirit stones disappeared from his inventory, and he logged out. He waited for a moment and heard a notification sound.

He quickly opened his phone to see a message on it.

<$360,000 has been successfully transferred to your account>

He smiled and then thought, ”What do I do now? Go back to making some more pills to earn more money?” he thought and then immediately got a little depressed.

”Sigh. I don't want to play anymore today. Let's just stay logged out for the day. Hopefully, I have more will to play tomorrow,” he said and went on to use his phone and laptop.

He surfed the Internet to see what new things were happening, or just call home back to talk to his parents. He even decided to do some exercise to be a little more fit again.

He did that until at 7 PM, he had a knock on the door.
