The Omniversal Merchant-Chapter 170: Claiming the Rewards

Luo Chuan glanced at the numbers again. With so many spirit crystals earned, was it finally time to advance?

He clearly remembered that advancing to the third rank required only 10,000 spirit crystals.

"System, how many spirit crystals do I have now?" Luo Chuan asked.

"You currently possess 80,000 spirit crystals. However, 50,000 of them are from sales that are not directly attributed to Origin Mall and cannot be converted," the system replied.

In other words, Luo Chuan had 30,000 spirit crystals at his disposal.

"Use 10,000 spirit crystals—I want to advance to the third tier," Luo Chuan said, his voice filled with excitement.

After so many days, his true strength was finally about to improve!

Well, to be precise, it had been less than a month since his last advancement.

The third tier was equivalent to Fatebound Ascension for cultivators on the Azure Continent.

Advancing from Spiritual Sense to Fatebound Ascension in under a month? That speed could no longer be described as shocking—it was downright monstrous!

Of course, no one really paid attention to Luo Chuan's cultivation.

To others, he was simply the mysterious boss of Origin Mall, whose power was far beyond comprehension...

System: "Advancement in progress. Estimated completion time: six hours."

Six hours?

Luo Chuan shrugged. That was just a good nap.

I doubt any other cultivator in history has had such an effortless breakthrough...

Then, another thought struck him.

"By the way, system," he said, recalling his completed tasks. "I finished two side missions, so why haven't I received the rewards yet?"

System: "Side mission rewards must be manually claimed by the host. The system does not issue them automatically."

Luo Chuan: ...

"So, if I never asked, you'd just keep the rewards to yourself?"

His opinion of the system's stinginess rose to a new level.

System: "That is correct."

Luo Chuan sighed. There was no arguing with this thing.

"Fine," he muttered. "Claim the rewards."

System Notification:

Side Mission 1 Reward: The number of immersive virtual holographic devices in Origin Mall has been increased to 20. The shop will undergo renovation. Estimated completion time: six hours.

Side Mission 2 Reward: A new mode—'Leisure Mode'—has been unlocked for the Tower of Trials.

Luo Chuan: ???

His face was filled with confusion.

"Leisure Mode"?

Was the system playing a joke on him?

At least Challenge Mode and Arena Mode were useful. They earned spirit crystals and helped players improve their cultivation.

But what was the point of Leisure Mode?

"The system, what exactly does Leisure Mode do?"

Given the system's track record of introducing bizarre features, Luo Chuan knew better than to take it at face value.

System: "Relevant information has been transmitted. Please check."

Suddenly, new knowledge flooded his mind.

But just as curiosity flared up, a wave of drowsiness hit him.

Luo Chuan yawned.

Forget it. I'll check it tomorrow.

Suppressing his curiosity, he lay down and soon drifted off to sleep.

That night, he had a dream—

In the dream, he had become the most powerful being in existence, and the name of Origin Mall had spread across countless worlds and dimensions.

Countless cultivators and divine beings traveled across planes just to purchase goods from his shop...

As always, Luo Chuan's internal clock woke him up at the usual time.

His eyelids fluttered slightly before he opened his eyes.

Sunlight streamed through the window, filling the room with warmth.

He stretched lazily, got out of bed, and opened the window.

Taking a deep breath of fresh air—something he rarely experienced back on Earth—he smiled.

Another beautiful day.
