In Yao Ziyan's eyes, she saw Luo Chuan's figure appearing on the display screen in front of her.
"Is this a special spiritual weapon? But why is there no slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy?" Yao Ziyan frowned slightly, pondering.
Obviously, no matter how much Yao Ziyan thought about it, she would never figure out that it came from another world.
In the dark space, Luo Chuan chose "Yes".
With a flash of brilliance in front of him, Luo Chuan found himself on an endless prairie.
A gentle breeze caressed his face, carrying the earthy fragrance of grass.
"Tower of Trial has been opened, current level: 1."
"Mode: Simple."
"Equipment: None."
At the same time, a small translucent panel appeared in the upper right corner of Luo Chuan's vision.
It looked similar to the information panel of the system, displaying the character's name, level, and a small experience bar.
In the corner of the panel, there was also a small mall icon.
"Do you want to start the challenge?"
"Yes."
Suddenly, the howl of a wolf pierced the air, causing Luo Chuan's muscles to tense.
In his sight, a massive gray wolf, over three meters in size, charged towards him from the distance.
Reacting quickly, Luo Chuan fled from the approaching wolf.
However, he soon realized that he couldn't outrun the four-legged creature with his two legs alone.
Moments later, the giant wolf caught up to Luo Chuan and brought him down.
Luo Chuan died.
In the next instant, everything reset—the wolf vanished, and Luo Chuan found himself back in the same spot.
"Very realistic," Luo Chuan remarked, rubbing his chin.
Experiencing the sensation of imminent death, even in a simulated environment, was quite intense.
Honing one's physical and mental fortitude in such a safe environment was invaluable.
After some contemplation, Luo Chuan decided not to dwell on the possibility of failing in the more challenging modes.
Turning his attention to the mall icon on the panel, Luo Chuan clicked on it.
A larger panel materialized before him, displaying two sections: weapons and cultivation bases.
To his chagrin, these were only accessible through payment!
"Typical," Luo Chuan muttered, his lips quirking in wry amusement.
Unexpectedly, the system began to explain.
"When entering the Tower of Trial, players can utilize various weapons and even experience higher realms, for a price," the system elaborated.
"In the cultivation base section, players can only earn spirit crystals when their improved strength surpasses their current level," it continued.
Luo Chuan nodded, finding the system's explanation reasonable. There was no such thing as a free lunch, especially when it came to improving oneself.
"It's only natural," Luo Chuan concluded, accepting the necessity of paying spirit crystals for advancement.
