The First Store System

Chapter 217: The Present

Time flew by. Both Eris and Robert were doing their quests inside the Panagea while Aakesh was talking with Brinda in the store.

Since Aakesh had told Brinda to come into the store yesterday, Brinda followed the order and arrived here.

”Greetings, senior!” She bowed and greeted Aakesh right after entering the store.

Aakesh nodded in response to her greetings.

Brinda didnʼt have to wait long for her present since Aakesh snapped his fingers the next moment, and a circular badge shining in gold appeared on his hand.

”Here, it is my present for your coronation ceremony,” He expressionlessly said as he handed her the badge.

Brinda respectfully took the badge from his hands and thanked Aakesh for the present.

Aakesh didnʼt respond to her thanks. He instead closed his eyes to relax on his chair. 

Brinda focused on the badge in his hands.

It was a badge made up of a material Brinda didnʼt know of, and there was the picture of the tower she had won in the event engraved on it.

She didnʼt know why but the badge gave her a feeling of safety and security. She gently stroked her hands on the badge. It gave her the sense that she was touching something warm and smooth, but it looked the exact opposite.

Since Aakesh had given her the badge, she knew it wasnʼt any ordinary product. She glanced at Aakesh to see if he would tell him about the badge but seeing him lying on his chair with closed eyes, a wry smile appeared on her face.

She did not have to worry about finding the details because as if the badge was alive and could listen to her thoughts when she thought about the details, a blue window appeared containing all the details of the badge.

{Product- Unnamed Badge,

Level- Immortal(Growth),

Detail- A badge created by Aakesh, using Mythril Gold, Space stone, [@##$], and [@#$#@],

Ability- 

(I) Unlimited Space(Living and Non-living)(Think to expand),

(II) Pseudo Mind-Reading(Think to expand),

(III) Sixth-Sense(Think to expand),...}

Brindaʼs jaw almost dropped to the ground after reading the details of the badge.

Her hands started shaking, seeing the level of the badge. Even the Tower she had won from the second event was only an Immortal level treasure, but the badge was not only an Immortal level treasure, but it was also a growth treasure.

Brinda didnʼt understand what to feel shocked about, the Immortal level treasure or a growth level Immortal treasure. She took continuous deep breaths after that to calm her pounding heart.

She then focused on the further details of the badge.

The next was the construction detail. Brinda had read about Mythril Gold. It is a legendary material that is used to create weapons of Immortal level. Space stones were expensive, but not excessively so, so it was the only common item in the materials used to make the badge. Unfortunately, she could only see random symbols instead of the names of other materials used in the construction.

Her heart began pounding faster, thinking about the effects such high-level materials would bring.

Seeing the next section, her eyes popped out in shock.

”Unlimited space!” She exclaimed in shock, disturbing every meditating person in the store. Aakesh, on the other hand, still had his eyes closed since he expected this reaction from her.

The badge was one of his best creations of him. If the badge had primarily focused on the offense, the system wouldnʼt have even let him gift it to Brinda.

Her face turned red from embarrassment when the cultivators glared at her.

A moment later, the shock turned into a wry smile. ”How could I even think that the Space stone was the most common material in the badge?” She thought in her mind.

The quality and quantity of Space stone needed for unlimited space where even alive could survive felt unimaginable for her.

There was an option of expanding the details of the unlimited space, so she did, and the next moment, her jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Before Brinda had come here, she was ready to get surprised since Aakesh would never give an unworthy present, but after getting it, she felt the treasure to be more valuable than the throne for which she had gotten a gift.

It was like when someone gifts you a supreme pill for only having a breakthrough at the Nascent Soul level. Both have values, but in comparison to a supreme pill, even a breakthrough in Void Forging pales, let alone a breakthrough in Nascent Soul.

Only the unlimited space ability of the badge was enough to become one of the top treasures, but when she read about the details of the ability, only a single word, ”World!” came to her mind.

The endless area within the space had the same environment and energy elements as the Bisan Kingdom, so even creatures could cultivate and live in it.

After calming from the shock of unlimited space, she focused on the blue screen and the other abilities of the badge. The more she read, the more shocked and excited she became.

At one point, she even started laughing out loud, making a Tao Palace cultivator who had sat for meditation again angry. Unlike the last time, she didnʼt even care and continued laughing for a few seconds. She only stipped when Aakesh opened her eyes and warned her to stop it.

The badge had every ability necessary to become an undefeatable ruler. If she could use it to her advantage, even becoming an Emperor wouldnʼt be a big deal.

It gave her the ability to hear the thoughts of her subjects. It had two benefits. First, if anyone had any thought of betraying her, she would hear about it and can execute the traitors before anything happened. If she is unable to hear the thoughts of the citizens, she will know they are rebels, and she could either execute them to make an example of them or make them follow her.

It had several skills, and the majority of them focused on either her defense or the prosperity of the Kingdom. There was only one offensive ability, and that too would only activate in counterattack.

Aakesh had done this to ensure Brinda couldnʼt misuse her badge to gain territories. For that, she wouldʼve to work hard and become strong. The badge would only help her save herself.
