The First Store System

Chapter 1151: The Sixth Product(5)

[Ding!]

[Host, congratulations on completing the ”Mission Objective: Sell Beasts” successfully! The sale commission has been transferred to you.]

[The ”Mission Reward: Pillar for True God, Lesser God, Higher God, Supreme God Beasts Unlocked” has been given!]

[Please see the following screen for your third beastʼs quest!]

The next moment, a blue window containing the details of the third beastʼs quest appeared before him.

[Mission Sequence: Third

Mission Objective: Sell Beasts,

Requirement: With the purchase from Grimlac, the store has fulfilled all requirements for the last quest. Itʼs not the time to celebrate, but itʼs only the beginning. Work even more diligently to make more and more customers interested in the product,

Number of beasts you need to sell: 10,000,000,000,

Time Limit: 36,000 Days

Mission reward: One pillar upgrade,

Failure Punishment: The sales commission will be reduced to 0% of the productʼs price for one hundred and fifty years.]

Soon after the sale was complete, several mechanical alerts bombarded Aakeshʼs head, continuing the momentum of the questʼs completion.

Aakesh focused on the screen and read what the system wanted from him for the mission. The sale requirement had grown a thousand times, while the time limit had grown ten times.

It was a difficult task as it was a unique product, and cultivators could only buy one for their lives. But since after today, the store would have the pillar for beasts ranging from True God to Supreme God activated, more customers would be able to buy one more beast for themselves.

He then returned his focus to the screen. After looking at the reward, Aakesh nodded in appreciation. The prize was better than he had expected. Aakesh was aware that not every mission could award him higher cultivation beasts, so he had expected to see a financial reward similar to what he had received from the first of the Beast series.

But he instead got the one pillar upgrade. It was an essential reward since it would enhance the effect of the pillars and add another ability for the customers to employ from the store with only money as the cost.

Aakesh then took a casual glance at the failure punishment and waved his hands. The next moment, the screen disappeared, waiting for Aakesh to call it back again.

Aakesh was going to close his eyes and relax when he heard the sound of footsteps approaching him.

Aakesh turned in that direction and found a customer coming toward him from the cultivation arts room with a page in their hands.

Aakesh remembered that he was only two cultivation art sales short of completing the third collective quest, so he hoped for the man to be here to purchase.

”Store owner, I want to buy this,” Aakesh wasnʼt faced with disappointment as the man approached him and requested, handing him the page.

Aakesh took the page and took a quick glance at it. The next moment, all its details appeared in his head.

”You need to pay eight hundred ordinary Sacred stones,” Aakesh informed the man.

The man was already aware of the price as there was a mountain of stones beside him even before Aakeshʼs information.

***

”Only, one more left!” Aakesh mumbled after the man left with the fully materialized cultivation art.

***

Time flew by, and hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Aakesh was relaxing in his chair when he heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the store. He opened his eyes and turned in that direction, only to find an unfamiliar face entering the store.

It was a female customer and a stunning one at that. The newly entered customer belonged to the race of Star Elf, an Elf race that stood in the same position as the Sun and Moon Elf in the Sacred Dimension.

Star Elves had light brown skins, with their hair varying from deep brown to black. These creatures were tall figures, and irrespective of gender, there was a feminine aura to everyone in Star Elf since it was a race like Moon Elf that descended from a female Elf progenitor.

Similar to other Elf species, the Star Elf also had the unique features of a sharp, pointy nose and ears. The Star Elves had the same pair of pupils as their hair color, which varied between deep brown and black.

Simran looked around the store as she entered, and soon her eyes fell on the blue-skinned man seated on the chair. Simran nodded since it was where she had wanted to go.

The ruling family of the Star Elf was the Dhanishta family, based on Dhanishta, the primogenitor of the Star Elves.

Simran was one of the current generation princes of the royal family. The Star Elves werenʼt open to the world like the Moon and Sun Elves. Neither were their rules strict like theirs.

The Dhanishta family could have a male as well as a female ruler. The number of female rulers surpassed the number of male rulers due to females having a closer affinity with the inheritance left by Dhanishta for the family. But still, there had been instances of a male reaching that top spot and becoming the ruler of the Star Elves, unlike the Sun Elves, where only a male descendant could be the ruler, or the Moon Elves, where only a female descendant could become the ruler.

In fact, the current ruler of the Star Elf was a male, Nakshatra Dhanishta, the strongest Star Elf after Dhanishta herself in the history of the race. Simran was one of the hundreds of children of Nakshatra.

The Dhanishta family also followed an incestuous rule, like the Ay and Astrid families. If a female became the ruler, all her brothers would become her consort, while all her sisters would be free to start their own branch families so as not to increase the burden of resources on the head family. But unlike the Ay and Astrid families, the Dhanishta family didnʼt enforce the incestuous rule on all opposite-gender siblings.

In Nakshatraʼs case, when he became ruler of the Star Elves, he had around five thousand sisters, since the Star Elves followed a time-fixed rule. One ruler will have to rule for a complete Epoch, and that amount of time was enough to have several thousand children, even for a race with low fertility like the Star Elves. It was also the reason that the Star Elves had the lowest number of rulers of all the Elf races in the Sacred Dimension.

Even though Nakshatra had around five thousand sisters, he only chose seven of them, who were her blood sisters and shared the same father with his mother. The remaining sisters were allowed to either start their own branch families or join the guards.

Nakshatra had several hundred children, and his record was the lowest number of children during his rule, as his reign was about to end, and the competition for the next ruler was about to start among the Star Elves.

Simran was only the youngest of the lot, with her cultivation only being that of a Sacred Emperor, while several of her brothers and sisters were already close to achieving the Sacred Creator level. Whoever reached that level first would become the biggest contender for the next rulerʼs position.

Nakshatra had seven wives, and except for one, every other wife had given him children in double digits. Simran was the only child who was the sole child of her mother, so she had a slight advantage over many of her siblings. It was also the reason that, despite being the youngest, she was already a Sacred Empeor when the majority of her siblings werenʼt even Sacred Kings.

To at least have a chance at fighting for the top spot, Simran and her mother spent a lot of money to hire an astrologer.

From that astrologer, Simran found an opportunity for herself. According to the astrologer, he saw an ordinary building and a blurry blue-skinned man as her opportunity to have a chance for the position.

Considering that prediction, Simran started searching for the store, and after three years of searching across the dimension with the help of her mother, she was finally able to find the store.

***

Simran had a surprised expression as she looked around the store and saw the endless Eternal Stone used in the flooring. Her confidence in the prediction grew in her heart since it had cost her and her mother a fortune.

”Hello, store owner!” Simran greeted Aakesh in her gentle, soothing voice.

Aakesh only nodded in response as usual and waited for Simran to ask the question.

”I am Simran Dhanishta.” Simran extended her hands, introducing herself.

Aakesh looked at the hand and then responded, ”I am Aakesh.” He didnʼt extend his hands for the handshake.

An awkward expression appeared on Simranʼs face since it was the first time that she had faced something like that, but she didnʼt focus much on it since she was here to find her opportunity.
