The Omniversal Merchant-Chapter 229: Boss, Are You Sure You Don’t Want to Raise the Price?

Chapter 229 - Boss, Are You Sure You Don’t Want to Raise the Price?

"Boss, did I get that right?" the Third Elder asked, looking at Luo Chuan.

Though Luo Chuan's expression remained unreadable, he was already calling on the system in his mind.

Because—he had no idea if the Third Elder was correct or not.

---

"System, time to work!" Luo Chuan called internally.

"Host, what do you need?" the system's cold voice responded immediately.

"Is this Chaos Origin Spring Water really what he says it is?" Luo Chuan asked.

System: "Yes."

Luo Chuan was stunned.

To be honest, he had no idea what place the Third Elder had been talking about, but it turned out to be true.

After a brief moment of thought, Luo Chuan asked seriously, "System, are you sure we're not losing money selling Coke at this price?"

Chaos Origin Spring Water was an incredibly rare and precious material. Selling Coke—which was made using this water—for a mere hundred Spirit Crystals was practically giving it away for free!

It was no exaggeration to say that it was basically free!

System: "The host can rest assured that the selling price of all goods provided by this system is always greater than the cost."

Luo Chuan: "..."

The system is terrifying!

After finishing his internal conversation, Luo Chuan nodded at the Third Elder.

"Correct."

A smile spread across the Third Elder's face.

"This... this Coke is actually made using Chaos Origin Spring Water?"

Wei Yi, who had already drunk half his bottle, was completely dazed.

The actual value of a single bottle of Coke was horrifying!

Everyone stared at the Coke in their hands.

Although a hundred Spirit Crystals was nothing to them, at this moment, the drink suddenly felt incomparably precious.

"Boss, I think a hundred Spirit Crystals is too cheap for Coke," Ji Wuhui said hesitantly.

"Yeah! Boss, have you thought about increasing the price?" Murong Haitang added.

Letting customers voluntarily request a price increase—only Origin Mall could pull off something like this.

Luo Chuan shook his head, his tone calm as ever.

"The prices will remain unchanged."

With that, he walked to the recliner at the store entrance, lay down, and enjoyed the sunlight.

"...This is just how the boss is." Liu Ruyu sighed with a bitter smile.

With that unexpected revelation behind them, everyone focused back on their food. fгeewebnovёl.com

Now, the instant noodles were almost finished.

Since there were eleven people in total, some virtual devices were still available.

"Enter Arena Mode," Xia Yuan instructed them.

"It's the small tower—just select Arena Mode from there."

Following Xia Yuan's guidance, the three newcomers quickly entered the arena.

---

Eight players—randomly assigned by the Tower of Trial—were divided into four groups.

Each pair was teleported to a different battlefield.

Just like always, their cultivation levels were automatically adjusted—all of them were now at the Ninth Stage of Pathseeker.

The Third Elder's battlefield was a snow-covered mountain range.

The howling wind carried icy flakes through the air, covering the landscape in an endless sea of silver and white.

For ordinary people, merely standing here for a few minutes would be enough to freeze them to death.

However, for cultivators at the Ninth Stage of Pathseeker, while the cold was a slight inconvenience, it was far from life-threatening.

On another snowy peak, hundreds of meters away, Xia Yuan stood, dressed in black robes, his hands tucked into his sleeves, looking calm and ethereal, like a figure from a painting of an immortal.

The Third Elder's voice cut through the howling wind, his words effortlessly carried by his spiritual power.

"It seems we are opponents in this battle."
