A New Mode in the Tower of Trials

Xia Yuan felt a little dizzy.

A whole bundle of Star-Moon Wheat?!

Star-Moon Wheat was known to grow individually, one stalk at a time. Every time it appeared, it was auctioned off in limited quantities.

But now, Luo Chuan had casually handed him an entire bundle!

To be honest, Xia Yuan could hardly believe his eyes.

"Well, it's not exactly valuable," Luo Chuan said, his tone as indifferent as ever.

After all, the system provided it for free. No need to be stingy.

Not only were the system's ingredients of exceptional quality, but their quantity was also vast. The host benefits were clearly quite generous.

But in Xia Yuan's ears, Luo Chuan's words sounded like the voice of a true tycoon.

Wealthy beyond measure! A true powerhouse!

I need to latch onto this golden opportunity!

Of course, he only thought these things to himself.

"Boss, I'll always remember this favor!" Xia Yuan said solemnly, taking a deep breath.

He firmly believed in repaying kindness. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become close friends with Ying Wuji.

But considering the boss's overwhelming strength, what could he possibly offer in return?

For now, he could only look for opportunities in the future.

Xia Yuan made a silent vow in his heart.

"Do as you wish," Luo Chuan replied casually, unconcerned.

Xia Yuan carefully stored the Star-Moon Wheat in his space ring.

With breakfast finished, Origin Mall officially opened for business.

Xia Yuan busied himself picking up a few items, including a bowl of instant noodles. After adding hot water from the dispenser, he sat down to wait.

Just then, footsteps echoed from the entrance.

Ying Wuji arrived with seven students, just like the day before.

"Xia Yuan?" Ying Wuji raised an eyebrow when he saw him already inside.

"Brother Wuji, looks like you arrived a little later than yesterday," Xia Yuan said cheerfully.

Ying Wuji remained expressionless. "It's not that I'm late. You're just early."

At the same time, he and the others noticed something different about the store.

"Huh? There are so many more seats now!" Gu Yunxi exclaimed.

"And the space inside has expanded!" Jiang Wanshang added.

"The spatial formations in the boss's shop are truly incredible," another student marveled. "They can be adjusted at will..."

The group couldn't hide their amazement.

"Boss, since the store has changed so much, are there any new products?" Gu Yunxi asked excitedly.

New products?

Luo Chuan thought for a moment. The new mode in the Tower of Trials should count as one.

He nodded. "Yes."

"Really?!" The students' eyes lit up.

New products in Origin Mall were always something to look forward to!

"Boss, what's the new product?" someone asked eagerly.

"The new mode in the Tower of Trials," Luo Chuan replied.

"Oh… it's just a new mode…"

A few students sighed in mild disappointment.

They had hoped for a brand-new physical product.

But their disappointment quickly faded, replaced by curiosity.

What kind of abilities would this new mode have?

While pondering this, Ying Wuji and the others started their usual routine—eating instant noodles.

After all, they couldn't ignore the tenfold cultivation boost it provided.

"You guys eat first," Xia Yuan said, smirking. "I'm going to experience the new Tower of Trials mode!"

He casually found a seat, put on his helmet, and entered the virtual world.

A screen flashed before his eyes, and he found himself in the familiar starting space.

Behind him, Ying Wuji and the others gathered around, eager to see for themselves what this new mode was all about.
