The First Store System

Chapter 1096: Unseen Variant!

"Store owner, tell me about the store's products," Helma asked after doing her introduction.

She learned about the store from Vusca. Even though he only mentioned a rumor, for some reason, as soon as she heard it, her heart pushed her to reach the store. Following her gut feeling, she arrived at the store and liked what she saw.

"The store currently sells five products: pills, weapons, cultivation arts, beasts, and Panagea.

For the pills, the store only sells two levels, lesser and higher…"

Aakesh introduced all five products and provided introductory details about them to Helma.

Helma nodded in surprise since she didn't get disappointment in return for her rushed decision.

As Helma was a Higher God level cultivator, three of the five products were useless for her. Even then, the two usable products felt like a lot, so she didn't feel disappointed over her miss.

"Store owner, I want to enter Panagea," Helma requested since she wanted to check Panagea as soon as possible.

Aakesh nodded and then informed her about the price difference for different stay hours.

Time flew by, and Helma proceeded toward the portal room after paying the sum of 1425 lesser Sacred stones.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

A few minutes after Helma left, Aakesh was awoken by the sound of a new customer's footsteps.

"Store owner, I want three pills of each lesser grade and one pill of each higher grade and its subgrades," The man requested Aakesh after learning about the store's products.

The man had come here to buy the pills after discovering them, and he wasn't disappointed with the details he learned from the store owner.

The price difference between lesser-grade pills wasn't that high since sometimes the pills sold by the store were cheaper than the market rate. But the same couldn't be said for higher level pills. The price difference between the store and the outside market was evident since the store's price was more.

Aakesh nodded and got up from his chair. Aakesh then went to the pill counters and, following the request, took out pills totaling 66 lesser-grade pills and sixty higher-grade pills.

"You need to pay three…" Aakesh stated the price.

***

After paying the price, the man stored all the pills in his inner world and turned around to leave.

The man liked Panagea, but today he only wanted to study pills.

Time flew by, and hours passed.

After Jerine's six hours were complete in the store, the system forced him out of Panagea. He looked disappointed since he was close to completing his second quest.

Jerine decided to request an extension from Aakesh, but soon he was left with disappointment, as the store owner bluntly refused, and when he tried to request it a second time, Aakesh pointed him toward the rule board.

For fear of getting barred, Jerine stopped asking about the extension in Panagea.

Jerine's cultivation was at the late stage of the Higher God, with him on the verge of reaching the peak sub-level. So, the majority of the products weren't available to him.

He could go and check out the cultivation arts or training area, but he was satisfied with his current art, and as for the second, Jerine decided to do it later, but before that, he needed to check out the beasts from the Beast Summoner Device.

It was true that beasts were only from Divine Transformation to Divine Lord level, which meant nothing for people of his cultivation. But what made the beasts sold by the store special was their complete loyalty and talent in cultivation, and they could also be used in Panagea.

***

After entering the room, Jerine had to wait for his turn since there were already three people ahead of him.

Time flew by.

Jerine stood in front of the pillar with him, not knowing any of the nine beasts on the screen.

Excited to learn about the beast he had in his luck, Jerine pressed the switch, beginning the first round of summoning.

Five seconds passed in a flash, and soon after, a beast appeared on the screen. Not long after that, a card formed out of nowhere and flew into his hands.

Jerine didn't like the beast on the card, so he stepped forward and placed the card inside the return compartment. He then pressed the switch again.

'1' appeared on top of the screen, and the square light began to rotate at an unprecedented speed.

Time flew by, and a few minutes had passed. At that moment, there was a small queue of two people waiting behind Jerine for their turn.

Jerine took a deep breath and pressed the switch. The next moment, '7' appeared on top of the screen, and the square light began to rotate.

Five seconds passed in a flash, and a beast appeared on the screen. Jerine raised his eyes in surprise since it was the first time for him to see such a variant of a beast race he knew.

He grew excited about the beast and its details. Soon after, a card formed out of nowhere and flew into his hands.
