The First Store System

Chapter 1529: Ninth Panagea Quest!

The man was savoring the taste of the dishes as he stepped out of the restaurant. He found everything right with the non-payment situation.

His steps weren't steady at all, and he looked drunk.

"ARGH!" A heartbreaking scream left the man's mouth right after he stepped outside the building.

In the shocked eyes of the man, his bones began to break down, and his flesh slowly disappeared.

A few seconds later, what was left of the man was only his bones, and even they looked drained of bone matter. If the man were to see it, he would find a similarity between the bones on the street and those he had left on the table.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

The sound of footsteps broke the silence on the street as a creature walked, and its destination was the bones. Once it reached them, the creature bent down, and a long, broad tongue came out of its mouth. It picked up the bones, and a crunching sound rang in the area.

Aakesh's eyes were cold when the second customer disappeared from outside the store. The city in the sky was no utopia but an extremely dangerous land.

Since there was no restriction on the cultivation of the entrees, a Divine Lord could enter the city and meet a Supreme God level enemy.

"Hey, system, is there a need to act against the city?" Aakesh asked the system in his mind, activating multitasking.

[Host, the city in the sky is a natural phenomenon created by the laws of the Sacred Dimension. Acting against it is equal to acting against the entire Dimension.]

[Host, A barrier can be created to restrict the city from randomly selecting the entrees and setting a manual entry point.]

[Host, your power level is insufficient to create a barrier like that. If you want the system's help, you would need to pay…]

Aakesh knew exactly what the city in the sky was and also knew he couldn't destroy it. Or, he would have already done it. Its detail was what had made him curious about the city in the first place.

He had asked the system because of his lack of power. Only the system or the Void Beasts were powerful enough to set a barrier, restricting the city from summoning random participants. Void Beasts wouldn't intervene in it since it was a natural phenomenon, so only the system could do something.

But if the system were to help, Aakesh would need to pay for it. And as the system opened its mouth, Aakesh felt pain in his head.

"Let's do it after closing the store," Aakesh responded since he didn't want to test how many customers would get summoned by the city.

The price was heavy, but Aakesh could bear it with some pain, so he agreed.

[Okay, Host!]

Time flew by, and another hour passed in the blink of an eye. The sunset arrived in Thorr and its nearby cities. Aakesh walked to the weapon, skill, and cultivation arts room and asked the customers to leave. Once they left, Autumn and Katrina also followed. Only Aakesh, Lily, and Khaval were left inside the store a few minutes later. He walked to the door and closed it, bringing an end to another fruitful day for the store.

[Ding!]

[Host, the mission reward of one hundred thousand virtual portals has been rewarded. Please check the portal room!]

The next moment, Aakesh heard the alerts from the system, and a blue light fully enveloped the portal room and the hall. It kept on for several moments and then died down.

The space in the hall had grown enormously, as the number of waiting customers would see an exponential rise, starting the next day.

A smile appeared on his face, and he proceeded toward the portal room with Lily and Khaval sitting comfortably on his head. Even though the duo were fighting, they didn't try to cause any situation on Aakesh's hair since both liked that spot deeply.

Once he walked inside the room, the space had grown exponentially, with more than a hundred thousand virtual portals placed in a fixed range from each other. Just the space inside the portal room was bigger than the combined space of all other rooms and the store hall. There were 38,148 virtual portals in the store, and after receiving the reward, that would grow to 138,148 portals, almost four times.

The store had a customer base in the range of four to five hundred thousand at the opening time. It still wouldn't allow all of them to enter Panagea at once, but now many new customers would be able to enter and start their adventure in Panagea.

Aakesh didn't leave the room since the last step was left for him. As expected, not long after, a blue screen popped out in front of him, containing the details of the ninth Panagea quest in the series.

[Mission Sequence: Nine

Mission Objective: Sell Panagea Hours,

Description: Host, the store has successfully met the requirement of selling 2,500,000 Panagea hours for a consecutive fifty thousand days.

Requirement: Now, it's time for you to increase your contribution further and make even more customers interested in the product.

Number of Panagea hours you need to sell: 9,500,000 hours every day for a continuous five hundred thousand days, Mission reward: One million new virtual portals addition,

Duration: 525,000 days,

Failure Punishment: Loss of twenty-five thousand virtual portals, and the sales commission will get reduced to 0% of the product's price for ten thousand years.]

Aakesh focused on the screen in front of him. The selling hours requirement grew by almost four times, while the rate of increment in reward and required time saw a growth of ten times.

The system also gave a buffer time of twenty-five thousand days to the store, which wasn't much of a necessity for the store. The customer inflow to the store at that moment might not be enough to sell 9.5 million Panagea hours, but that target would get achieved in no time.

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