Alex wanted to leave as soon as Shushant asked for coins.
Yeah, they were just 10 coins, and for Alex, who had thousands of coins, expending 10 coins wasn't much, but why would he?
He didn't even know Shushant, and even if he did, he had no obligation to help that guy.
But when he heard the next words from the guy's lips—the words about the system penalty—he paused.
Any information related to the system was important, and the ones that could harm him were the ones he rated as the most important.
This system penalty did seem like something that might be useful to him.
So, after thinking for a while, he lowered his arrow, letting the guy speak.
He was giving Shushant hope, even if it was wrong, and even though he knew that it was not the right thing to do.
But he wanted the information, and he wasn't going to waste his coins either, so he just listened to the situation.
