Chapter 235: A Blossoming Connection
"Yes, that's right!" Jiang Wanshang nodded emphatically, her small face alight with confidence. "I knew Teacher Haitang would come out on top!"
Soaring Cloud Academy students had been frequenting Origin Mall lately, joined by some new faces—students from Profound Moon Academy, led by Xia Yuan. Usually, one mentor would accompany the group, but due to Ying Wuji's special circumstances, there were two this time.
Murong Haitang smiled modestly. "I was fortunate to obtain the Curse of the Dark Night in casual mode the other day."
Her previous battles had shown her just how powerful this skill could be—capable of reversing even the direst situations.
Luo Chuan shook his head. "Luck is part of strength."
Old Bai nodded. "Indeed. We also ventured into casual mode, but didn't find any missions."
The Third Elder, Liu Rumei, and Wu Daoxu exchanged astonished glances. That terrifying ability was something she found in casual mode? Could there be more mysteries within Origin Mall they had yet to uncover?
"Everything in casual mode operates on probability," Luo Chuan explained, sensing their thoughts. "What you find depends on luck alone. You can read more about it in the game's introduction."
"Thank you, Boss, for the explanation." They nodded respectfully.

"Now, it's for you." She handed the precious elixir to Ying Wuji, whose usually stoic face registered surprise.
"For me?" he asked, clearly taken aback.
