The First Store System

Chapter 1117: A New Day for the Store(2)

All customers who didnʼt own any of the three cards paid for their stay in Panagea, depending on their hourly stay, and left for the portal room.

Soon, only Aakesh was left alone inside the storeʼs hall. Not even a minute had passed since Aakesh closed his eyes and the sound of footsteps rang in his ears.

Aakesh opened his eyes and turned in that direction, only to find familiar faces entering the store.

They were two people, and they were none other than Katrina and Autumn.

Autumn was in disguise as a humanoid white-skinned creature, while Katrina looked like her original appearance. Katrina had a grin on her face while Autumn looked calm.

”It seems you have too many devoted fans,” Katrina commented as soon as she stepped inside the store.

Yesterday, after leaving the store, they met Favan. To impress Aakesh, Favan requested that she and Autumn stay at his residence.

There were only two rooms on the first floor above the store he operated, so he had to give up both of them. But since Katrina and Autumn were Aakeshʼs friends, he was more than willing to stay in the store uncomfortably.

Aakesh only nodded in response to Katrinaʼs comment since these were fans of the storeʼs products.

”Now introduce us to the storeʼs products,” Katrina asked. Seeing Aakeshʼs silent response to her comment, she stopped whatever she had planned.

Katrina and Autumn already knew about the storeʼs products since they were there yesterday when Aakesh was introducing them to Maria.

”The store currently has five products. They are pills, weapons, cultivation arts, beasts, and Panagea.

There are two grades of pills currently available in the store, lesser and higher. For both grades, the store has twenty types of pills available. They are:

…

Panagea is the name of a virtual world that customers get transported to. They will start from zero, and there will be many adventures. Panagea is a vast world…” Aakesh concluded the introduction of all five store products.

”Wow!” Katrina exclaimed in awe; her mouth and eyes widening.

”Store owner, how can you own so many products of such value despite being so weak?” Katrina asked, her eyes shining.

***

After Katrinaʼs banter with Aakesh was over due to Aakeshʼs non-interest in continuing it, she became serious and began to ask about the storeʼs products.

”If we donʼt have enough money, will you lend some to us?” Katrina asked, grabbing Aakeshʼs hands. Her tone was helpless as if she were extremely poor.

”If I have the amount, I will lend it to you,” Aakesh responded. He had been gaining no commission since the event, so his wealth was very low in number. Since Katrina and Autumn were good friends with him and he trusted them, he was willing to lend them money.

”> ”If you donʼt have enough money, I will suggest you the borrow option from the store…”

Aakesh then explained the borrow function of the card to Katrina and Autumn. He was willing to lend them money, but that didnʼt mean he wouldnʼt suggest them the option.

Katrina nodded and then proceeded toward the beast room, with Autumn following her.

But before leaving, they bought the Supreme Store Card since the borrow function was only active for the card users.

Katrina was only joking when she asked Aakesh to lend her the money, but hearing him accept it so easily, she stopped joking with him and decided to do it later.

It was only early in the morning, so there were no customers inside the beast room when Katrina and Autumn entered the room.

They then looked at the numerous beast murals engraved on the wall across the room. Autumnʼs smile turned wider when she found the Epochal Feline on the wall. The reason for it being so wide was because the beastʼs illustration was similar to how Lily looked.

Katrina also tried to find several of the creaturesʼ underlings she had on the Conspiracy Continent. Katrina acted cruel and indifferent on the continent, but she still liked some of her subordinates.

After finding the ones who belonged to the beast race on the wall, her eyes turned emotional. But soon, they returned to calm as she was now outside the Conspiracy Continent, and her part as a ruler was over.

”Do you want to do it first?” Katrina asked Autumn, breaking her away from staring at the Epochal Feline mural.

Katrina had already stopped thinking about Autumnʼs obsession with her ancestor since she had gotten bored of joking about it.

”Sure,” Autumn responded since there were no issues with her going first.

She knew Katrinaʼs response to her obsession with Lily but found nothing wrong with it. In fact, she felt proud of it. As for why she had such a close relationship with Lily, it had to do with her naming her. Even though she referred to Lily as her ancestor, she thought of her as her parent.

Katrina nodded and then gestured for Autumn to do it. Autumn nodded and then went toward the Beast Summoner Pillar.

When Autumn reached the pillar, the five seconds were over, so the beasts in nine sections were replaced by another group.

Autumn recognized seven of them since she had seen them on the Conspiracy Continent.

The Conspiracy Continent was also a hub for several extinct races, and most of them were from the Sacred Dimension, and in that, the majority were from the beast group, so she knew many beast races.

After reaching the pillar, Autumn took a deep breath and pressed the button. She hoped to get an Epochal Feline, but the store owner had already refused, so she only hoped for a good beast to be her summoning.

Five seconds passed in a flash, and a beast appeared on the screen.

She had set the summoning as random since only quality mattered to her, not cultivation.

Not long after, a card formed out of nowhere and flew into her hands.

She recognized the beast, so she found the data on the card familiar.

Autumn belonged to the race Epochal Feline, which was exclusive to the third dimension and was an extinct race while also being the primogenitor of all feline races, so having any quality lower than ultimate was impossible for her.
