The First Store System

Chapter 247: Completion

Xayaati and her group werenʼt the only ones who had no idea about whatʼs the mystery with the golden light surrounding several customers. Today, there were several new customers that had arrived in the store for the first time due to the coronation ceremony yesterday.

The Chivelle Kingdom wanted to use the tower to create their influence as well as the Bisan Kingdom, so they had invited several powerhouses. Many of those who joined the ceremony yesterday hadnʼt attended the storeʼs event since they had personal issues or didnʼt find the announcement worthy. The event had already ended when they learned about it, so they decided to check out the store after the ceremony.

”Those whoʼre shrouded in golden light would be the first group of customers to enter Panagea,” Aakesh expressionlessly announced, seeing so many new faces today.

Excited expressions appeared on the faces of many customers who had lost hope of getting into the first or second group of customers.

One of the customers to get a slot into the first group was the newly crowned king of the Bisan Kingdom, Brinda. She stepped forward and greeted Aakesh.

Aakesh only nodded in response to her greeting. She then thanked him again for the badge.

Aakesh didnʼt respond to her greetings and instead looked at the crowd who still were standing together.

Seeing Aakesh looking at the crowd not dispersing, Maria greeted Aakesh and then left for the portal room since she had the supreme card. After Maria, those who had cards went to the portal room one by one, while those who didnʼt have cards approached Aakesh and paid for their stay in Panagea.

Those who had arrived in the store for the first time and were lucky enough to be in the first group approached Aakesh and learned about the store. Those who were rich bought cards according to their worth and then left for the portal room, those who couldnʼt buy one paid for their stay in Panagea and then went to the portal room.

After the first group of 150 customers left for Panagea, there were still enough people in the store to complete the slots for the second group.

Since there were several new customers, Aakesh couldnʼt relax. Each customer approached him one by one and left after getting all the answers to their questions.

Time flew by. Seconds turned into minutes, minutes turned into hours, and just like that, more than six hours passed.

The system forced all the customers who had completed their stay of six hours in Panagea one by one. After they all exited the portals, Aakesh ordered the next group of customers who were meditating inside the store to enter the portal room.

During past hours, all the spots for the Panagea had already gotten booked, making Aakesh one step closer to completing his new quest. He needed to get 2000 hours of stay in Panagea for seven days straight to win 1000 new virtual portals, and for today, the store had crossed that number. He only needed to continue having this many customers for six more days, and then finally, the true worth of Panagea would come out.

Maria had gotten the quest to make five people submit to her without the use of any force and violence. To complete the requirement, she had chosen the Dwarven settlement since they had cowardly nature and were greedy about any kind of metal.

Before today, she had made four Dwarves submit to her using their greed in her favor and was only short of one more subordinate to complete the quest.

When she entered Panagea, she had directly spawned into the Dwarven settlement since she was their trade partner.

According to the quest, she needed to make five people irrespective of their level, class, status submit to her, so for the last person, she had chosen the leader of the Dwarven settlement. Making him submit was almost equal to taking the entire settlement under her wings.

The Dwarven leader was the only being in the settlement to start on leveling path, and he was Level 3, the same level as her, so she wasnʼt afraid of the battle.

When Maria had started the quest, she didnʼt have the confidence she currently had, but with the help of Moyas, George, and Evelyn, her confidence grew, and she began capable enough to trust her decisions.

Before meeting with the leader, she had made plans of how to get him to submit, but when she met with him, it all came to naught. It only took a map of the metal resources in her territory and a tiny promise to allow him to touch those higher-level materials to make the leader even willing to die for her.

Maria didnʼt believe it since she had seen the level of cautiousness they had during the last days, but since the Dwarven leader had submitted to her and her quota of five people was complete, she had now completed her quest.

As expected, the moment Dwarven leader chose to submit to her, getting the promise, a blue screen with golden fonts only visible to Maria appeared in front of her.

[Congratulations, O ruler of Atunbi!

You have made five people submit to your rule, completing the quest.

Your reward for completing the mission had already been given. Please check your hut.]

It wasnʼt the end, as before Maria could read the entire content of the screen, another smaller blue screen appeared on top of the previous one.

[Due to the influence of the dwarven leader, making the Dwarven leader submit to you has made the whole settlement submit to you as well.

For your deed, you deserve a reward.

Reward: One evolution pill* or unlocking of one high-level resource area.

*- The pill could only help evolution up to the Rare lifeform…]

Her eyes were wide open as Maria saw the extra rewards she had received.

For the extra reward, the world had given her a choice. If she chose the evolution pill, her lifeform would directly elevate to an ordinary level, and her level will also reach the peak of the ordinary lifeform, Level 25. But the other reward was the unlocking of a high-level resource area.

A high-level resource area in Panagea was equivalent to top-notch resources in the Primal dimension. If she were to choose that, she could reach the sky in no time.. The difference between both the rewards was like sky and earth.
