Chapter 222: Human (1/2)

Alex didn't log back into the game that day.

He woke up, ate some breakfast, studied a bit, helped prepare lunch, ate it and went to school. Once more it was with Sarah and Emily. These 4 were now very close friends.

”Urghh… I can't wait for saturday. Oh god, it must be so fun in the capsule,” Sarah said.

”I'm highly anticipating it as well,” Hannah said.

Alex didn't listen to any of their talk. He was so out of it today that he didn't even remember half the thing that happened today.

Emily seemed to be curious as well as to why he was so distant today, but she couldn't bring herself to ask anything. In the end, they went to their respective classes and didn't get to say anything.

On the way home, Sarah seemed to not have classes on thursdays, so she took them both back home.

Alex ate some snacks and went back to his room. He wanted to go back into the game, but just couldn't motivate himself to touch the helmet on the bed.

So instead, he took out his laptop and went online. He went to a video sharing site to watch something, anything, but there was nothing of interest there.

He then came upon a video and was shocked at the sheer number of clicks on it. The video of his cousin speaking about the body she got in Eternal Cultivation, and it had gotten nearly 200 million views.

For a world with less than a billion people, 200 million views were more than good enough. That was enough to show the true reach of Eternal Cultivation in the real world.

However, he was surprised that the video wasn't popular because of the content, but rather the unfairness behind it. There were people who wanted to hate on his cousin and Eternal Cultivation all because his sister got lucky.

He clicked on these people's profiles and saw that they had left some beautiful messages on other videos for other peoples. These people knew nothing about the other people, yet they showed their hate and love just as openly.

Once again, Alex saw the two sides of people. People were quick to hate on something completely unrelated to them. Even when new information was being given out, people focused on what they personally did not get.

However, there were also people who were good. Whether there was a reason or not, they were all sending out positivity towards the ones they didn't even know.

'It seems it is the same inside and outside of the game, huh,' he thought. 'Good or bad, you can't tell something about a person without getting to know them.'

He felt a little better about himself. The guilt of killing someone was very low for Alex since he knew there were others that were helped due to what he did and were in fell support of him.
