A Game Like No Other

"Sister, I've confirmed it—this store is much larger inside than it looks from outside!" Bu Lige exclaimed confidently.

"It does seem that way," Bu Shiyi agreed with a nod.

Her earlier suspicions about the store were slowly being confirmed.

"What are you thinking?" Bu Lige asked, puzzled by her contemplative expression.

"The boss must have set up a spatial formation in the store," Bu Shiyi declared with certainty.

"A spatial formation? So what? Isn't the boss capable of anything? This isn't even surprising," Bu Lige replied with a dismissive shrug.

Bu Shiyi paused, realizing he was right.

Spatial formations were exceedingly rare across the Azure Continent, only found in ancient sects with profound legacies. But in the boss's store, such marvels were to be expected.

"You're here," Luo Chuan said, his calm voice breaking their thoughts.

He had noticed their arrival earlier and had now taken off his helmet, causing the display on his screen to vanish.

"Boss, is this something new in the store?" Bu Shiyi asked curiously.

Luo Chuan nodded. "Yes. This is an VR game called the Tower of Trials."

The siblings exchanged a glance, their confusion evident.

A game?

Could something like this even exist?

Just then, Yao Ziyan removed her helmet as well. Her long purple hair cascaded down her back, and her face lit up with excitement.

"Boss, this game is incredible! It feels exactly like reality!" she said eagerly.

Luo Chuan nodded. "What floor are you on now?" he asked casually.

"Still on the first floor," Yao Ziyan admitted, slightly embarrassed. "But I've cleared the simple mode and am working on the normal mode."

"How about you, Boss?" she asked, turning her curious gaze to him.

Caught off guard, Luo Chuan felt a bit awkward. He couldn't let his reputation as an all-powerful boss crumble!

With a soft cough to compose himself, he quickly redirected the conversation. "Would you two like to give it a try?"

"Yes!" Bu Lige and Bu Shiyi responded in unison, their curiosity overriding everything else.

"Ziyan, show them how it works," Luo Chuan instructed. "I'll go enjoy the sunlight for a bit."

"Of course, Boss." Yao Ziyan nodded, accustomed to his laid-back approach to running the store.

As Luo Chuan turned to leave, he suddenly paused, as if remembering something important.

The siblings exchanged a knowing look.

"You'll need to pay for a new account," Luo Chuan said in his usual calm tone. "It's ten spirit crystals per hour, with a three-hour limit per day."

"I knew it..." Bu Lige muttered, his mouth twitching in exasperation.

Bu Shiyi couldn't help but laugh. By now, they were both well-acquainted with Luo Chuan's straightforward way of running his business.

Luo Chuan leaned back in his chair outside the store, enjoying the warm sunlight. He felt completely at ease, basking in the simple pleasure of the moment.

Why bother with fighting and stress when the sun felt this good?

Meanwhile, inside the store, cries of amazement rang out from the two siblings.

"This is an immersive VR game? It's incredible!" Bu Lige exclaimed.

"It's like stepping into an entirely new world!" Bu Shiyi added, her voice filled with awe.

"Exactly! And this body feels just like my real one, down to the smallest detail! But... I do miss the presence of spiritual energy," Bu Lige noted.

Yao Ziyan's calm voice guided them. "Now, follow my instructions. Do you see the options in front of you? Since this is your first time, you'll need to create an account first..."
