A Father's Request
It wasn't the first time someone had asked Little Weiming questions in the game.
Her real-life situation was simply too bizarre. Add to that her generous spending habits and her bold, tomboyish personality, and she had already become a "legendary figure" in the game and on the forums.
Many veteran players knew the truth about Little Weiming, but for various reasons, they never went into detail. So many curious onlookers and new players only knew that she was sick. What illness she had, and how serious it was, remained a mystery.
Some even claimed that Little Weiming was actually a seriously ill minor, and that the development team had given her a spot to fulfill her wish.
Many people accepted this compassionate explanation, and it even became a heartwarming story. But to Little Weiming, it was just a malicious jab at her "imposing" height.

"First of all! I'm not a minor! I'm twenty-four! Secondly, I don't want to talk much about my illness. Unless you're a miracle doctor who can cure every disease, don't ask me about it.
"Lastly, if you want to borrow money from me, follow the proper procedure.

The little dwarf had actually started offering "loans" to players. Her father's merchant genes had manifested in her in a truly "explosive" way.
Still, since Little Weiming had been collecting gold coins on the forums for ages, she was probably the richest player
