The First Store System

Chapter 197: Another Quest

It didn't even take a moment for all the 50 virtual portals to get filled after the first group left.

The group of Elves could only disappointedly look at the scene happening. They could buy the place from the customers, but Aakesh warned them of a complete ban on them in the store, so they didn't dare.

They could leave, but if they left, their turn for the next group would get taken away by someone else, and they couldn't give up on that.

During the past hours they had been standing in the store, they also heard about the training area and the outrageous prices it charged.

Even though they were one of the top three Moonlight Elf families, they still needed to think hard before splurging one trillion supreme Primal stones for one-hour training.

Even for Lenna, who could use an Overlord grade weapon, the training area in Gods & Demons levels difficulty cost one million supreme Primal stones.

That was the amount well within their spending range, and it wouldn't hurt them, so Elasha asked Lenna to go and train.

Lenna refused as she had already seen the Dragon when other members of her family hadn't. Now, she couldn't go and train in Gods & Demons level training, while her family members would stand and wait since they couldn't spend three trillion supreme Primal stones on them.

They tried to make Lenna agree with them, but seeing her not budging from her decision no matter what, they gave up.

They decided to train after a few days since they needed to talk to other members of the Faero family.

Only a few moments were left before the six-hour stay of Maria was over, when George and Evelyn teleported inside the store.

After entering, they greeted Aakesh right away, and he only nodded in response to them as usual.

Seeing the crowd, they knew they wouldn't be able to enter the Panagea today.

When Maria got forced out, they forgot about their entry and began talking to her about the quest. Since Evelyn was the next level in her future organization, Maria couldn't hide anything from her.

She told every detail about the town and the quest to the couple.

When the couple heard about the Scourge Ghoul being their neighbors, they had the same reaction as Maria, and their faces turned pale for a moment.

But the next moment, their faces regained the colors as the battle with them was still five years away. They would think about it in the later phases of the five years.

After hearing the details of the quest, and Maria's decision to choose Dwarves over the Orcs made Evelyn's eyes shine.

They talked about this for a while when George's eyes fell upon the group of Elves standing in one corner of the store.

A sudden glint passed through his eyes as he whispered something in Evelyn's ears.

After hearing what George said, Evelyn also looked at the group of Elves.

Feeling someone's stare, the Elves turned slightly and saw George and Evelyn smiling at them. The couple then approached them.

"Greetings, senior Elasha!" Both of them greeted Elasha with a slight bow, as she was not only older but also had higher cultivation than them.

"Oh, it's you two! It has been a long time since I met your mother," Elasha nodded in response to their greetings and told George.

"My mother told great things about you, senior," George, in response, smilingly commented.

George's mother wasn't only the queen of the Pocoso Empire, but she was also a peak Heavenly Monarch like Elasha. She wasn't as powerful as Elasha, but still, she stood at the top of the food chain in the Primal dimension with other peak Immortals.

Elasha only smiled in response.

"Senior, we came here to invite you to the first organization of the Panagea," George didn't wait and directly stated his purpose for meeting the group.

The Elven group didn't find it surprising as they were talking to Maria before approaching them.

"Oh, your organization hasn't even started, and you already are calling it the first organization of the Primal dimension," Elasha responded with a curious smile on her face.

George's face got red from embarrassment in response to Elasha's taunt, but the next moment it returned to normal as if it was nothing to be shameful about.

"So, senior, what's your decision?" The glimmer of a smile on his face had disappeared, and instead, he bore a stern expression.

"No, I have no interest. You could ask them," Elasha refused right away and then pointed at her family members.

She didn't even consider the invitation because she could never work under a Human, and that too of low cultivation level.

George didn't expect the straight refusal, so his face didn't look good in response. Evelyn,  seeing her boyfriend chimed in and asked Lenna about her answer.

Lenna refused straight away like her grandmother, but she promised to help the couple if they needed her help, and she wasn't busy in her quest inside the Panagea.

The couple would've liked it if she had joined them, but now that she had refused, they were happy with her promise to help them if any troubling situation arose.

While the group was conversing, Aakesh was talking to the system inside his mind.

"Hey, system, don't you think fifty virtual portals aren't enough for the store?"

It had only been six hours since the store opened, and the fifty virtual portals had already gotten booked for the day, and one group wouldn't even get to complete their stay of six hours.

It would result in only a few adventurers entering the Panagea, and it would create unfair competition between those who received only a few hours of stay in Panagea and those who received six hours each day. For those who missed their chances, their situation would be even more troublesome.

He already had a quest, which if he completed, he would get a whopping 1450 more portals, but the requirement would at the very least take three-four months to complete. This time was enough to create a wide gap between the adventurers.

[Host, you're right. Please see the quest screen for your new quest!]

The system, instead of responding, gave Aakesh a new quest to complete.

The next moment, a blue window containing all the details of this new quest appeared in front of him.
