The First Store System

Chapter 572: A New Day!

Around fifty years ago, the sun had suddenly disappeared after the emergence of the portal, and Jamini had gotten freed from her binds. At that time, Aakesh gave up the Leafless Fruit in his hands and replaced the sun.

The sun had acted all the same these years without many finding out that the sun was the same.

Just like in the last fifty years, the sun rose, forcing the darkness to hide. It announced different fates for citizens living across Visteerna.

In an area of more than a thousand miles, only two buildings stood. One looked empty with no semblance of people, while the other one was overcrowded with more than a few million people standing there for the building to open.

Even the owner and inhabitants of the next building stood in the queue for the other building to open.

Despite there being a few million people in the queue, no one dared to make a loud noise or use the status they held.

If there were knowledgeable people in the queue, they would have recognized several people who could call rain of blood and destruction, and their decisions could shake the dimension.

“Click!”

A clicking sound suddenly rang in the area, bringing a look of happiness to the few million people standing in front of the building.

After exiting Panagea, Aakesh returned to the store. There was still some time left before the sunrise, so Aakesh first went to his room.

After freshening himself, Aakesh returned to the store and found from the system that the sun had risen. So Aakesh went to the door, grabbed the handle, and opened it, beginning another day in the fruitful life of the store and its customers.

After opening the door, Aakesh found a large crowd waiting at the door in a queue that went up to hundreds of miles. It wasn’t the first time he had seen such a crowd, so Aakesh had an expressionless face as he moved away.

Even though the number of virtual portals exceeded the number of customers waiting at the door, the people still entered the store like a raging tide as if someone would snatch their spots.

Aakesh returned to his chair. The hall inside the store had also expanded these past few decades to accommodate the number of customers, exceeding several million at the starting hours of the store.

There weren’t any new customers in the crowd, so customers paid for their stay in Panagea and entered the portal room. Those customers who owned any of the three cards directly went to the portal room.

At first glance, they couldn’t help but get shocked when they saw the number of virtual portals in the room.

Previously, there were already a lot of virtual portals, but it was still around eleven million. But now, with this addition, the quantity had crossed the hundred million mark, marking an exponential growth.

Since this wasn’t the first shock they had gotten from the store or the store owner, they stopped thinking about it, chose their virtual portals, and entered them.

There were hundred virtual portals in every row, so there were more than a million rows after yesterday’s addition in the portal room. The first few hundred or thousand rows were fine, but when the number of rows crossed ten thousand hundred thousand, reaching that distance for cultivators below Void Condensation became tough as each row had a width of around eight meters, including the empty space between the row and the successive one.

The system added a point after every thousand rows to solve that issue.

Until the first thousand rows didn’t get loaded, the customers would enter the room and fill them. After those thousand rows got taken, then whenever any customer entered the room, they would directly reach to the next point containing successive thousand rows. This process would continue up to the last row.

As for exiting the room, after their six hours in Panagea were over, they only had to think of leaving, and they would be at the door of the room, making it simple and troubleless for every customer.

Aakesh continued taking the payment of the customers as they did it in a straight queue.

Time flew by.

Just like that, one hour had passed. Now only Aakesh remained in the hall. The customers were either in Panagea, the weapon room, or the training area.

Since Aakesh had no work to do and was free, Aakesh decided to check the ongoing quest.

The next moment, a new blue screen only visible to Aakesh and containing all the details of the quest in golden fonts appeared in front of him.

Aakesh nodded as he read the quest progress he had made in the past fifty years.

To receive the bonus reward presented by the system, Aakesh had to complete the quest in half the maximum duration of the mission, which meant Aakesh still had around fifty years to complete the quest.

After seeing the progress, it didn’t seem that it would take even the next fifty years to complete the quest.

The requirement for Panagea and pills had already gotten fulfilled, while the weapon’s sale and the Gods & Demons level training area was close to achieving the condition.

Since Aakesh was satisfied with the progress he waved his hands and closed his eyes to relax on his chair.

The next moment, light particles started moving away from the screen, and in no time, the quest screen faded into nothingness.

Time flew by.

Customers continued entering the store without stopping either from the door or directly teleporting using the supreme card provided by the store.

Those who teleported didn’t disturb Aakesh and straight away went to the portal room, while others who didn’t have cards paid for the product they wanted.
