The Omniversal Merchant-Chapter 226: Learning the Points System

Watching the scene unfold, Luo Chuan couldn't help but feel amused.

They can't figure out a solution to something this simple?

It looked like it was time for him to step in.

Luo Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly, already making a decision in his mind.

"I have a solution," he said in his usual calm tone.

Everyone immediately turned to look at him.

When they saw Luo Chuan, their eyes lit up with anticipation.

"Boss, what's your idea?" Murong Haitang asked curiously.

The others also looked at him with keen interest.

"A points system," Luo Chuan replied.

A points system?

The group exchanged glances, not quite understanding what he meant.

Luo Chuan continued explaining, "It's simple. We use points as a way to determine the winner.

In a one-on-one match, the winner earns two points, the loser gets one point, and in the case of a draw, neither player gets any points.

Each participant will compete against everyone else in turn. After one full round, the person with the highest score will have the right to purchase the Jade Nectar Dew."

In reality, Luo Chuan had simply borrowed the idea from the basketball league point system on Earth.

As the group listened, their expressions slowly changed.

Their initial confusion turned into excitement.

At first, the boss's method had sounded complicated, but once they thought it through, they realized it was actually incredibly fair to everyone involved.

And more importantly—

This kind of competition was only possible in Origin Mall, where time constraints and cultivation disparities didn't matter.

In the Tower of Trials' Arena Mode, each player's cultivation realm and equipment could be adjusted to ensure fairness.

They didn't even need to worry about physical stamina.

The only cost?

The entry fee—a few spirit crystals!

"Boss, how did you come up with this method?" Yao Ziyan looked at Luo Chuan, surprise flashing in her eyes.

Luo Chuan responded in his usual indifferent manner, "I just thought of it."

Yao Ziyan chuckled.

Yep.

That answer was exactly what she had expected from him.

"So... do we need to register an account?" the Third Elder asked.

Yao Ziyan nodded.

"Yes, you'll need an account to use the vr devices."

Account registration required a hundred spirit crystals—an amount so insignificant to cultivators like the Third Elder and the others that it wasn't even worth mentioning.

"Oh, and one more thing," Yao Ziyan added, pointing toward a whiteboard on the wall.

"These are the rules of Origin Mall. I suggest you take a look before proceeding."

Rules?

The Third Elder, Wu Ying, and Liu Rumei glanced over in confusion.

When they turned toward the whiteboard, they saw a dense list of small black characters.

As they read through it, their expressions became... complicated.

After a long pause, the Third Elder's lips twitched slightly.

"The rules in this store... really aren't few."

Wu Ying, normally stoic, had a rare fluctuation in his expression.

Liu Rumei's eyes flickered thoughtfully, though no one could tell what she was thinking.

Meanwhile, Old Bai had already grabbed a bottle of Coke, spicy noodles, and instant noodles and was patiently waiting in line for hot water.

Seeing this, the three newcomers—Third Elder, Wu Ying, and Liu Rumei—hurried to grab their own supplies, not wanting to miss out.

Behind them, the younger cultivators Wei Yi, Wu Ying, and Liu Ruyu suddenly straightened their posture, stepping aside to let their seniors cut ahead in line.

They obediently moved to the back without complaint.

Luo Chuan noticed but didn't say anything.

While waiting for their turn to get hot water, the Third Elder suddenly sensed something strange.

He frowned slightly and turned toward Wei Yi.

"...Something's off."

Wei Yi instinctively shrunk his neck, avoiding eye contact.

He knew exactly what the Third Elder had just realized.

But he didn't dare say it.

Because if the Third Elder found out that the hot water in Origin Mall was actually the Spring of Life—a legendary elixir that could prolong lifespan, heal wounds, and enhance cultivation—

He would definitely lose his mind.

As a master alchemist, the Third Elder treasured rare spiritual resources above all else.

If he knew that people here were casually using the Spring of Life to make instant noodles...

Wei Yi might not survive the day.
