The First Store System

Chapter 633: Curiosity!

After Aakesh introduced the cultivation arts, he hadn’t been able to relax since only Aakesh could sell the cultivation art, not the store cards.

At the same time, Aakesh’s wealth was getting bigger since he not only earned a one percent commission from the sale of cultivation arts, but he was also earning the entire amount spent by the customers to preview the cultivation art.

Time flew by, and Wyatt’s turn finally arrived.

“Store owner, I want this cultivation art,” Wyatt told Aakesh as he had a page in his hands.

Aakesh could also see the virtual book floating near the page since it was only visible to the store owner and the customer who bought the preview option.

The next moment, all the details of the cultivation art emerged in Aakesh’s head.

“Since you have already paid five hundred and twenty-five top Primal stones, you need to pay nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-five top primal stones,” Aakesh expressionlessly told Wyatt.

Since Wyatt had a card, he could pay the conversion amount, but if he didn’t have one, he would have had to pay one superior Primal stone, and Aakesh would have returned the extra twenty-five top Primal stone to him.

The next moment, a mechanical alert appeared in Wyatt’s head, asking him whether he wanted to pay or not.

As soon as Wyatt gave the nod, one superior Primal stone disappeared from his card space while twenty-five top Primal stones got returned since Wyatt didn’t have that many top stones in the card space.

Not long after, Aakesh got the alert of successful payment, and soon, the notification of his commission getting transferred to his portal space rang inside his head.

“It is now yours,” Aakesh commented.

Wyatt couldn’t help but smile. Everyone could see that the smile was fake since no person would be able to smile with that pale, horrified face.

It did not take long for Wyatt’s smile to turn sincere as the virtual book floating in the air suddenly started materializing. In no time, a book similar to how it looked when it was virtual appeared and started falling. Wyatt caught it before it could touch the ground.

“Don’t think of selling anything related to the Art of Five Elements,” Aakesh suddenly stated, taking away the smile that had appeared on Wyatt’s face.

Aakesh wasn’t warning everyone about the rules of cultivation arts, but since Wyatt was the only one who faced a warning from the system, Aakesh did it. At that time, he was in the store, so he survived. But if he were to do this outside the store after purchasing the cultivation art, the system would have burnt the book to ashes while giving a severe injury to Wyatt since no one could challenge the dignity of the store and the store owner.

The smile froze on Wyatt’s face, but soon it returned to normal. His face still stayed pale as the feeling of the mixing of his internal organs still haunted him in his mind.

“I would keep that in mind, store owner,” Wyatt bowed and stated. He then thanked Aakesh and left the queue and then the store since there were already several people waiting in line for their turn to purchase the cultivation art.

After leaving the store, Wyatt rushed toward his house while the store continued having customers.

“Why so much rush?” Lilith raised her eyebrows in surprise after seeing a large group of people standing in front of Aakesh.

Lilith found talking to anyone other than Aakesh an insult. And since she didn’t see anyone meditating in the store, waiting for their turn in Panagea, she didn’t ask for the reason for queue and went toward the portal room since she had a card of her own.

Lilith was an owner of the supreme card, so she had also gotten the notification of time flow change in Panagea and their rates.

For Lilith, a trillion supreme Primal stones and one supreme Primal stone had the same value: they were useless, so without thinking of anything, Lilith chose the three times the time flow rate and touched the nearest virtual portal. The next moment, a suction force more powerful than anything for her to handle appeared and sucked her inside.

Time flew by, and eighteen hours had passed for Lilith.

Even though Lilith had spent eighteen hours in Panagea, only six hours had passed in the Primal dimension, so when Lilith got forced out of the virtual portal by the system, the sun was still in the air, with quite a time away from the sunset.

As Lilith exited the portal room, she had the idea of asking Aakesh about the reason for the queue in the morning, but when she reached the store’s hall, she couldn’t help but get even more surprised.

The queue in the morning looked tiny in comparison to the number of people currently standing in the line for their turn. Lilith took a single glance at the crowd and found the number to be eight hundred thousand, seven hundred sixty-five people. While taking a look around, Lilith’s eyes fell on the newly-opened room and the customers coming out and entering it like a stream.

Lilith’s curiosity got the better of her, and she also joined the queue since she would only ask Aakesh about the reason.

***

Seeing the queue getting larger and larger with people joining it every passing moment, Aakesh decided to be even quicker. In only a moment, Aakesh made several sales, resulting in the queue gathering speed falling.

Several minutes later, Aakesh’s consecutive purchase came to an end as he found a familiar figure standing in front of him.

“What is this new product?” Lilith asked Aakesh. She understood that only a new product could make Aakesh so busy, but since she didn’t specifically want to go to the room or had any interest in asking other customers, she asked the store owner.

Since Lilith was here as a customer, Aakesh introduced the cultivation art to him even though she had no use for it.

Lilith’s interest in the new product died as soon as she heard what it was.

“Why don’t you add some product that would help us get close?” Lilith suddenly suggested to Aakesh with a smile on her face. She then, without waiting for a reaction from Aakesh, turned around and left the queue.
