The First Store System

Chapter 72: Selling Pills

”You can test the products of my store, but youʼd have to buy them,” Aakesh told Mark.

Mark wanted to say something, but he still remembered the store ownerʼs warning, so he didnʼt dare to refuse. He accepted with a sigh, ”Okay, please give me each of your pills.”

Aakesh expressionlessly nodded and took one pill from each of the pill shelves. ”Here, your bill is 100 inferior Primal stones,” He said as he handed Mark the pills.

”100!” Mark exclaimed in shock after hearing the price. ”Werenʼt you selling the pills at 25 inferior Primal stones per pill?” He then confusedly asked.

”Who told you that? I sell pills based on their use,” Aakesh expressionlessly responded.

”Our Association got a complaint from someone that youʼre selling pills at an exorbitant price here,” Mark responded. He didnʼt stop and added, ”Otherwise, why would we come to your store when it has only been three days since you opened the store and looking at your store, we wouldʼve never doubted that you wonʼt have permission from the king, but since we got the complaint, we had to act.”

”Okay! Pay 100 inferior Primal stones, and you can test them,” Aakesh expressionlessly nodded and responded. ”Lily, since there is a customer, I canʼt go outside. I want you to find the customer that Maria brought and do whatever you want to do with him,” He also ordered Lily in a voice loud enough for only both of them to hear. If someone complained about his store after getting healed from its product, then that person needed to die.

”Whatever I want?” Lily excitedly asked. She was a born predator, and she couldnʼt play with her hunt due to Aakesh, but now that he had given her permission, she would play with the man to her heart content.

”Yes, you can play with him in whatever way you want,” Aakesh responded as he knew what Lily wanted. He didnʼt care what Lily would do with the man as he deserved to die for him.

”Whoosh!” The next moment, the sound of tearing through the air echoed in the store. Mark confusedly looked up, but after finding nothing, he took out the required amount from his space ring and handed it to Aakesh.

”Now, you can do whatever you want with it,” Aakesh said as he waved his hands and the stones disappeared. Mark wasnʼt surprised by the store owner manipulating void as he had already killed a Void Condensation expert.

Mark didnʼt wait for a second and took out a glass coin from his ring. He then looked at the body healing pill through the glass coin. A struggling face appeared on his face as he didnʼt find anything on the pill even after looking for several minutes. He then tried to look at the other two pills, but he still didnʼt find anything.

”Senior, why am I not able to see the impurities of the pill?” Mark then confusedly asked as the glass coin he had in his hand was known as impurity coin. It had the ability to find impurities in the treasures.

”Because the pill has only 7% impurities,” Aakesh expressionlessly responded. He had read about the impurity glasses. The one in the hand of Mark was inferior in quality. It couldnʼt even find any impurity when even 50% of the pill had impurity.

”WHAT?!” Mark shouted in shock after hearing what Aakesh said. ”How can there only be 7% impurity in an inferior pill?” He asked after getting over the shock.

”Because the material used in the making of these pills is the best material in the primal dimension,” Aakesh responded.

”Really!” Mark asked in a surprised tone, but inside he scoffed, ”The best materials of the primal dimension.”

”Since youʼve already bought the products and didnʼt find anything wrong in it, you can leave,” Aakesh said.

”Wait, I want to buy ten pills each,” Mark suddenly said. After finding no impurities on pills through his glass, he had already decided to buy several pills. He wouldʼve bought every pill the store offered if he had enough money, but given he only had 1000 inferior Primal stones on hand, he decided to buy ten pills each.

”No! You have already bought one pill each, so now you could only buy two more each,” Aakesh expressionlessly responded. He had an excited expression inside as he had finally completed the quest of selling 10 pills.

”Senior! I wouldnʼt try to intrude on your store again, please sell me ten pills each,” Mark thought Aakesh didnʼt want to sell him more pills due to him irritating him, so he tried to apologize.

”It is the rule. A single person can only buy three pills each,” Aakesh said. ”So, do you want to buy them?” He then added.

Mark, with a disappointed sigh, nodded and took out 200 inferior Primal stones from his space ring. Aakesh took out the pills from the shelves and handed them to Mark. He, in response, handed him the primal stones.

”Good business!” Aakesh commented. ”We would have a new product tomorrow, so you can come and take a look,” He then added as Mark was turning to leave.

”Okay, Iʼll return tomorrow since I need to buy more pills too,” Mark responded and then left the store.

Right after Mark left, a number of announcements appeared inside his head.

[Ding.]

[The quest: Sell ten products to customers, successfully completed.]

[Mission reward: A new product and addition in varieties of the pills, successfully given.]

[Host, please check the shelf for the newly added pills.]

The system responded in its mechanical and emotionless voice. Aakesh nodded and went up to the shelf to check upon the pills.

He saw two shelves in addition on the same block as the three pills and five addition on new shelves appearing right above them.

He first checked the two new pills appearing next to the first three pills. The first pill was a first-grade inferior blood explosion pill, and the second was a first-grade inferior energy meditation pill.

The blood explosion pill allowed the user to have a berserk mode for several moments in the case of emergency by risking their blood. It cost 25 inferior Primal stones.

The energy meditation pill helped the user in cultivating in their respective choice of energy. It cost 50 inferior Primal stones.
