The Omniversal Merchant-Chapter 176: A World Indistinguishable from Reality

Ying Wuji and the others pondered over Xia Yuan's words.

After a moment, they realized the truth behind them.

"Casual mode... it's an entirely new world."

Meanwhile, in the real world, Luo Chuan watched as all the customers in his store logged into the virtual space.

He couldn't help but feel intrigued.

"Ziyan, keep an eye on the store. I'm going to play for a bit."

Yao Ziyan nodded. "Got it, boss."

With that, Luo Chuan casually found a seat, put on his gaming helmet, and logged in.

He navigated to the Tower of Trials, selecting the newly introduced Casual Mode.

—

At that moment, Xia Yuan and the others were still discussing the nature of this world.

Suddenly, Luo Chuan materialized beside them.

The unexpected arrival startled the group.

"Boss?!"

Luo Chuan glanced around. "How are you all finding it?"

Gu Yunxi couldn't hold back her question.

"Boss, is this casual mode... like an entire alternate world?"

Luo Chuan nodded lightly. "You could put it that way."

Then, with his usual calm tone, he added, "You can treat this as a real world. Because, in essence, there is no difference between this map and reality."

The moment the words left his mouth, everyone sucked in a breath of shock.

If what the boss said was true, then had he just created an entirely separate virtual world?!

Who exactly is the boss...?

A mix of astonishment and deep curiosity filled their hearts.

"Of course," Luo Chuan continued, "you can cultivate spiritual energy in this world as well. There are also various elixirs, hidden treasures, and opportunities waiting to be discovered."

Hearing this, Xia Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Boss, can we bring anything from here into the real world?"

After all, no matter how immersive this world was, it was still virtual.

If nothing could be transferred back, then this mode would truly only serve as "leisure."

Luo Chuan's voice remained calm and indifferent.

"I already told you—this world has no difference from reality."

"Of course, expect to bring back physical objects."

—

Everyone's breathing quickened.

They instantly understood what he meant.

Even if physical objects couldn't be taken out, their cultivation, martial skills, and comprehension could!

This meant Casual Mode could serve as a real training ground—a place to cultivate without limits!

This was completely different from challenge mode or arena mode, where progress was constrained to game mechanics.

—

"One thing to remember," Luo Chuan added, "your first priority here is survival."

Right now, everyone started out as an ordinary person—no cultivation, no abilities.

Thinking about advancing in cultivation was still a long way off.

Xia Yuan nodded, excitement evident on his face.

"Boss, I get it! I didn't expect to actually feel hunger in this world."

Luo Chuan smirked slightly.

"Like I said, there is no gap between this and reality."

—

As the realization sank in, the group of students gathered together to discuss their next steps.

Suddenly finding themselves as ordinary people in an unfamiliar wilderness was daunting.

To be honest, many of them were panicking.

Meanwhile, Xia Yuan had already stepped into the shallow waters of the lake.

Holding his makeshift spear, he was ready to catch a fish!

However, after multiple failed attempts, frustration began to creep in.

Even though he could see the fish directly beneath him, his spear never hit its mark.

So frustrating!

Just then, Luo Chuan's voice rang out nearby.

"Aim below the fish when you strike."

"Huh? Below the fish?"

Gu Yunxi frowned in confusion.

"Why would you aim below? Shouldn't you target the fish directly?"

The rest of the students also turned their curious and doubtful gazes toward Luo Chuan.

Since they had nothing else to do, they decided to watch Xia Yuan struggle by the lake.
