Siuteo

In the heart of the Azure Continent lies a legendary establishment known as Origin Mall.
This extraordinary store offers goods beyond imagination: a sip of its cola can instantly replenish one's vitality; its spicy snacks grant the strength to overcome powerful foes; the games it offers can accelerate cultivation progress; and its novels impart profound techniques and insights.
Origin Mall boasts a vast array of offerings, catering to leisure, entertainment, dining, and training needs alike.
However, there’s one rule that all visitors must remember: never cause trouble in the store. The owner, though unassuming, is unimaginably powerful.

The Omniversal Merchant

Bu Lige took off his helmet, his face filled with frustration and anger.

He was ready to march up to the boss and demand an explanation.

But as he turned, he noticed Yao Ziyan watching him from behind the counter.

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his frustration and began to think rationally. The anger on his face slowly dissipated, replaced by calm.

Demand an explanation? From the boss and Yao Ziyan? These two weren't exactly known for their reasonable attitudes when challenged.

Unable to win in any sense—neither argument nor force—Bu Lige wisely decided to let it go.

"Sister Ziyan, why did my game shut down on its own?" he asked, feigning curiosity.

"Huh? Why did it end automatically?"

At this moment, Bu Shiyi also removed her helmet and chimed in with confusion, her brows furrowed.

The scene reminded her of a moment when a computer suddenly shut down during a critical moment in a team game.

"There are rules for playing the Tower of Trials," Yao Ziyan explained, pointing to a small whiteboard hanging on the wall.

Originally, the board had only three rules written by Luo Chuan. Earlier, however, Yao Ziyan had added a new rule regarding the game, as per Luo Chuan's instructions.

"Account registration: one spirit crystal. Gameplay: ten spirit crystals per hour. Each person can only play for up to three hours a day."

"Wait, there's a rule like that?" Bu Lige groaned, feeling embarrassed.

He recalled hearing Luo Chuan mention something about it earlier, but he hadn't paid attention at the time. Now, it seemed it was coming back to bite him.

Yao Ziyan sighed helplessly, her expression clearly stating that nothing could be done about it.

The rules in Luo Chuan's shop were absolute.

At that moment, Yao Ziyan's expression shifted. A glimmer of surprise appeared on her delicate face.

"What's wrong, Sister Ziyan?" Bu Lige asked, confused.

Yao Ziyan replied, "Feel the spiritual power in your body."

Following her instruction, Bu Lige closed his eyes to focus.

Moments later, his eyes shot open, filled with disbelief.

"What? My spiritual power... it's actually increased! And by a significant amount! It's almost equivalent to a full day of cultivation!"

Bu Shiyi nodded in agreement, having noticed the same thing.

Hearing this, Yao Ziyan's eyes widened in surprise.

Could it be that the games in Luo Chuan's shop could actually enhance a person's cultivation?

The three of them instinctively turned their gaze toward Luo Chuan, who stood calmly by the shop door.

Sensing their stares, Luo Chuan spoke in a calm, faint voice:

"The Tower of Trials is more than just a game..."

His simple words made the three fall into deep contemplation.

In other words, the experience and progress made in the game could reflect back into reality.

At this realization, a spark of excitement lit up in their eyes.

"Boss, does this mean that the cultivation gained in the game is transferred to the real world?" Yao Ziyan asked cautiously.

Hearing his reply, the three of them grew visibly excited, their breathing quickening.

A game that could improve cultivation—something like this could only exist in the Azure Continent.

Luo Chuan's voice broke through their excitement:

"Oh, by the way, the instant noodles that boost cultivation speed also work during the Tower of Trials."

"Wait..." Bu Lige paused to calculate, his voice growing excited. "Instant noodles increase cultivation speed tenfold for one hour. Playing the Tower of Trials for three hours is equivalent to one day of cultivation.

"So, the game's cultivation speed is already eight times faster than reality. Multiply that by ten, and—eighty times!"

Bu Lige's triumphant calculation was interrupted by a sharp slap to the back of his head from Bu Shiyi.

"Stop shouting, you fool," she said, though her own excitement wasn't entirely hidden.
