The Omniversal Merchant-Chapter 169: Overachieving Side Quests

One by one, everyone grabbed a cup of instant noodles from the shelves and filled them with hot water.

Now, all that was left was to wait.

By the time they finished eating, Old Bai and Ji Wuhui had also completed their sessions.

As they removed their helmets, they noticed Murong Haitang and her group had arrived.

"Your Majesty, Old Bai," Murong Haitang greeted with a nod.

Old Bai and Ji Wuhui returned the gesture.

The conversation quickly turned to casual inquiries, without any concern for status.

For some of the students, this was their first time seeing the two esteemed figures in person. Their gazes were filled with curiosity.

Meanwhile, Zhou Hu and his group finished their game session.

As they took off their helmets, they were momentarily startled by the lively atmosphere in the shop.

Zhou Hu glanced at Ji Wuhui and Bai Lao, smiling wryly.

I used to joke around with them, thinking we were on the same level...

Turns out I had no idea how vast the world truly is!

Fortunately, the two powerhouses didn't seem to mind.

After exchanging a few words, Zhou Hu and his group left.

Murong Haitang and the students took their seats, put on their helmets, and entered the virtual world.

Notably, Wei Qingzhu and her friends hadn't come today.

Something must have come up.

Time flew by.

Before they knew it, the day had passed.

By the time dinner was over, the sky outside was completely dark.

After exchanging goodnight greetings with Yao Ziyan, Luo Chuan returned to his room, ready to rest.

Sitting on his bed, he called out, "System, how's the task progress?"

A translucent panel appeared before him, displaying various pieces of information.

Main Task:

Objective: Reach a turnover of one million spirit crystals.

Time Remaining: 43 days.

Luo Chuan blinked.

Unknowingly, he had far exceeded the requirements for both side quests.

In just a week, the store had brought in over 200,000 spirit crystals.

To be honest, he hadn't expected business to be doing this well.

Has Origin Mall always been this successful?

Of course, he knew a significant chunk of that revenue came from Jade Nectar Dew.

But that was still a product of Origin Mall, so it counted!

However, something seemed off about the numbers for Side Task 2.

Luo Chuan was sure he had kept track of every customer.

After a moment of thought, it clicked.

The system probably didn't count Chu Yunfei, who had "disconnected" permanently, as a customer.

Thinking back to his battle against Chu Yangping's Soul Projection, Luo Chuan was certain the man wouldn't let the matter rest.

After all, Chu Yunfei had died at his hands.

If Chu Yangping truly planned to retaliate, the timing lined up—he should be arriving in Nine Stars City soon.

Yet, Luo Chuan remained completely unfazed.

In fact... he was even a little excited.

If I take down a Eminence cultivator, wouldn't that boost Origin Mall's reputation?

If the other shop owners knew what was going through his mind, they'd probably choke on their tea.

Increasing a store's fame by eliminating top-tier cultivators?

That was something only true powerhouses could even consider.

Absolutely terrifying...
