Advice box

Liked response	Disliked response	Disliked response
Next time you've got gold, I'll help you decide.	One of the merchants is peddling a get-rich-quick scheme.	Work harder and you'll earn more.

“	Don't beat around the bush, pal. You want my help, yeah? Can't blame ya. Look, I get it. You're the new professor. You've got a lot on your plate. You need backup? I'm your guy.
