A Proposal Denied

Murong Haitang and Ying Wuji were once again left in awe as they explored the wonders of the Tower of Trial.

A game capable of improving cultivation was an astonishing concept that shattered their preconceptions.

The more powerful one's cultivation, the more profound the experience inside the Tower of Trial.

"I truly didn't expect such a thing to exist. The boss... just how strong is he? Did he directly create an entire world within the Tower of Trial?" Murong Haitang muttered, her face a mix of disbelief and admiration as she fended off a lifelike wolf in challenge mode.

Ying Wuji's reaction mirrored hers. For the first time, he fully grasped the saying, there is always someone stronger beyond one's knowledge.

Shortly after, the Bu siblings—Bu Shiyi and Bu Lige—arrived at the store, immediately noticing the unfamiliar faces.

Upon learning of Murong Haitang and Ying Wuji's identities through Yao Ziyan's explanation, Bu Shiyi was initially surprised but quickly composed herself.

By now, surprises in Origin Mall were becoming the norm.

After greeting Luo Chuan and Yao Ziyan, the siblings enjoyed their instant noodles before immersing themselves in the Tower of Trial.

Bu Lige chose challenge mode, while Bu Shiyi invited Gu Yunxi and Jiang Wanshang to join her in the arena.

Jiang Shengjun also arrived, performing his usual routine of scanning through the merchandise before diving into the second level of challenge mode, determined to clear it after days of failed attempts.

Time passed quickly.

"Three hours are up already..." Gu Yunxi sighed, reluctantly removing her helmet.

Jiang Wanshang, Ying Wuji, and Murong Haitang all nodded in agreement as their sessions ended simultaneously.

Gu Yunxi turned to Luo Chuan, blinking pitifully. "Boss..."

Her sweet, pleading gaze sent a shiver down Luo Chuan's spine. He instinctively grew wary. "What are you planning now?"

"Three hours is way too short! Boss, can we extend the game time for the Tower of Trial? Pretty please?" Gu Yunxi begged, her tone playful yet persuasive.

"Yes, boss, six hours would be perfect!" Jiang Wanshang chimed in, joining her friend in the plea.

The sight of two beautiful girls pleading pitifully would have been hard for most people to resist.

Unfortunately, Luo Chuan was no ordinary person.

Having grown accustomed to Yao Ziyan's ethereal presence every day, he was practically immune to such tactics.

With a resolute shake of his head, he refused. "Absolutely not!"

"But boss, we'll pay extra!"

"Yes, ten times the price!"

As wealthy young women, Gu Yunxi and Jiang Wanshang had no shortage of spirit crystals to spare.

Yet, Luo Chuan remained unmoved.

Was he the type to break his own rules for mere spirit crystals? Absolutely not.

Seeing his unwavering stance, Gu Yunxi and Jiang Wanshang exchanged a look of helplessness.

Their attempt to sway him had failed.

Murong Haitang, observing the scene, seemed to ponder something before speaking up. "Boss, I have a request."

Luo Chuan glanced at her. "Go ahead."

"Can my students also come here to play the game?" Murong Haitang asked sincerely.

After three hours in the Tower of Trial, she had already felt a noticeable improvement in her cultivation.

While most people might selfishly keep such a treasure a secret, Murong Haitang's first thought was of her students.

Her selflessness reflected the qualities of a truly exceptional instructor.

Luo Chuan's expression brightened slightly. He had been worrying about attracting more customers to meet the system's task requirements.

Murong Haitang's suggestion was like delivering a solution right to his doorstep.

It was as if she handed him a pillow just as he was dozing off.
