The Omniversal Merchant-Chapter 189: A Moment of Connection

When Luo Chuan saw the familiar faces rushing over, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

These are all customers from Origin Mall...

Why are they here?

---

"Haha! I knew it! Boss, you'd be fine!" Bu Lige laughed heartily.

"With the boss's strength, wasn't that obvious?" Jiang Shengjun smirked.

"It's already over? Damn, I was hoping to help out!" Zhou Hu scratched his head.

"Help? With your Soul Dominion strength? Don't mess things up!" Wei Qingzhu scoffed with a grin.

"Phew... It's good that everything's fine." Murong Haitang sighed in relief as she gazed at the untouched Origin Mall.

Even though some of them didn't know each other well, at this moment, everyone talked freely—

Because they had all come for the same reason: Origin Mall.

---

Luo Chuan glanced at the group before him, and for some reason, he felt something stir in his heart.

He knew full well that, given their strength, they wouldn't have been able to change the outcome of the battle.

Yet, they had come anyway. Without hesitation.

In this world of cultivators—

There was still something pure. A bond that went beyond power.

---

"Haha, looks like I'm not too late, am I?"

A familiar voice rang out.

Ji Wuhui and Old Bai approached.

Everyone immediately recognized them.

The Emperor of the Star Empire, Ji Wuhui—

And the elder who stood beside him.

---

"Your Majesty."

"I greet Your Majesty..."

The group offered their respects.

But Ji Wuhui's gaze was fixed on Luo Chuan.

"Boss."

Luo Chuan merely waved a hand in acknowledgment before turning and walking back into the store.

Ji Wuhui let out a quiet sigh of relief.

It seemed the boss wasn't blaming him.

---

"Did you hear? The boss has a new product in the store!" Gu Yunxi announced excitedly.

"A new product? It's only been a day, and he's already added something new?" Bu Shiyi was surprised.

Hearing this, the others immediately crowded around, curiosity lighting up their faces.

After all, in Origin Mall, there was no such thing as an ordinary product.

What could it be this time?

---

"What's the new product?" Bu Lige asked eagerly.

"The casual mode in the Tower of Trials," Xiao Cheng replied.

"Casual mode?"

Everyone frowned in confusion.

Just from the name alone, it didn't seem to have much to do with cultivation...

Then again, most of the product names in Origin Mall had nothing to do with cultivation either.

---

Gu Yunxi and the others quickly explained.

Wei Qingzhu listened thoughtfully.

"A virtual world where everyone starts from the same point? That sounds... very interesting."

As a mercenary, she had a deeper understanding of survival than the academy students.

She immediately sensed that the casual mode could offer far greater benefits than it seemed—

Yet, since everyone would start as ordinary people, it would take time to uncover them.

---

"Oh, and there's something else!" Jiang Wanshang added.

"The shop now has decorations—and there are already twenty available spots!"

"Twenty? That's amazing!" Zhou Hu grinned.

"When there were only ten, we always had to wait because of all the students from Soaring Cloud Academy hogging the spots. But now?"

"It's doubled! No more waiting!"

This unexpected change delighted the customers—

A rare, generous move from the boss!

---

By then, Xia Yuan and Ying Wuji had left.

The rest eagerly stepped into Origin Mall.

Though more than a dozen people entered at once—

The shop never felt crowded in the slightest.

The space formations set by the system were truly terrifying.

---

"Sister Ziyan! The usual!" Wei Qingzhu called out.

"We're out of Jade Nectar Dew at the moment," Yao Ziyan replied with a smile.

Wei Qingzhu coughed awkwardly, her cheeks turning slightly red.

"I meant instant noodles, cola, and spicy sticks. Even if there was Jade Nectar Dew, I wouldn't be able to afford it!"

Laughter rippled through the group.
