The First Store System

Chapter 919: Richardʼs Plea!

”For now, the products available in the store are the same as what they were in the Primal Dimension.”

”First are the pills. The store only sells Lesser level pills for now, and they are:

First-grade lesser body healing pill: The pill can heal minor injuries for cultivators up to peak Divine Being, while it would only work for Divine Lords if taken in large numbers. It costs 10 lesser Sacred stones…”

”Second is the weapon. Similar to the pills, the store only sells Lesser level weapons for now. There are only twelve types of weapons available for now: swords, sabers…. There is also the training area. It is also only for the Lesser weapons, and their difficulties are the same as what the store had in the Primal Dimension.”

”Third is Panagea. You already know about it. The entrance fee is five lesser sacred stones, and there is a five lesser sacred stone hourly fee. The time rate for Panagea and the store is the same, so there are no different rates like the Primal Dimension.”

”Fourth is the cultivation art. The store only sells Lesser grade cultivation arts for now.” Aakesh concluded the introduction of all four products.

Richard didnʼt look as surprised as other customers after hearing the introduction since he had already gone through that phase in the Primal Dimension.

But when he learned the price of the product, a helpless smile spread across his face. It had only been around two months since he had ascended to the Sacred Dimension, so his wealth was in dire straits.

Richardʼs earnings werenʼt even enough for his cultivation, let alone spending on the store.

The prices were as high as usual, but now he was not like Immortal Richard anymore. The only reason he still had weapons was because he had bought growth-type weapons from the store, but now he didnʼt even have enough to enter the training area.

Richard suddenly remembered something, and his heart regained some hope.

”Store owner, can the wealth I have in Panagea be exchanged for Sacred stones?” Richard asked. Before ascending the Primal Dimension, his level was high in Panagea, so he had quite a sum saved as an adventurer.

Since Richard was already wealthy in the Primal Dimension, he didnʼt need to exchange soul stones for Primal stones. But since he was now dirt poor, that wealth gave him some hope.

”Yes! The exchange rate is the same as usual, five thousand percent,” Aakesh answered.

”Store owner, what is the conversion rate between Soul stones and Sacred stones?” Richard asked, hoping to get a large sum.

In the Primal Dimension, even the lowest Soul stone was equal to one supreme Primal stone, so many customers who couldnʼt even afford to cultivate grew wealthy enough to leave generational wealth.

Aakesh didnʼt answer immediately but asked the system about the conversion rate. After he had his answer, Aakesh announced, ”Ten thousand medium Soul stones are equivalent to one lesser Sacred stone.”

Richard felt a chill in his heart as he heard the conversion rate. If one lesser Sacred stone was worth ten thousand medium Soul stones, it didnʼt mean, Richard would get the Sacred stone at the same rate. Before exchanging, he needed to pay a fee of five thousand percent.

So after that fee was added to the picture, one lesser Sacred stone became equal to five million medium Soul stones.

All hopes of getting rich were dashed after Richard calculated the amount he would be able to take out. Richard wanted to curse the store and the store owner for their black hearts, but since he knew his limits, he controlled himself.

Richard began taking deep breaths since something was better than nothing, and the exchange of currency was an additional benefit to the customers. Even without it, Panagea was as desirable to the customers as ever.

”Store owner, how can I take them out?” Richard smiled and asked Aakesh.

Aakesh could see that it was a forceful smile, but he didnʼt care. The system had set the exchange rate, and he didnʼt have enough authority to change it. As for whether he would change it once his control was sufficient, it was best left to the future.

”You canʼt for now. You need to own the store card if you want to exchange things out of Panagea without being inside the world,” Aakesh replied expressionlessly.

Richardʼs face turned ugly, as he only had seven lesser Sacred stones with him. It wasnʼt even enough to enter Panagea.

Without exchanging the sum from Panagea, there were zero chances of Richard entering Panagea anytime in the near future.

Since Aakesh was his only hope to solve this issue, Richard shared the problem with him.

Aakesh also understood, so he didnʼt reply immediately but went to the system since exchanging was completely in the domain of the system.

”Hey, system, Richard is correct. Many customers wouldnʼt have sufficient money in their hands to enter Panagea, let alone buy cards. Since the money collected by adventurers in Panagea is theirs, we shouldnʼt restrict them by the rule of having the card,” Aakesh stated since he agreed with Richardʼs issue.

There would be many customers like him in the future. The value of the Sacred stones here was several times higher than the value of the Primal stones in the Primal Dimension, so it wouldnʼt be easy to earn.

Even someone like Favan, who had lived for centuries, only had around a hundred lesser Sacred stones.

Neither the store nor the customer should wait this long to take their own money out.

[Host, what do you suggest? After all, exchanging items from Panagea without entering was after all one of the benefits of the Store Card!]

”We should restrict that benefit to other items, but for the exchange of money, we should only limit it to the store. As long as any customer is in the store, they could exchange their Panageaʼs wealth for the Sacred stones or other currencies.”

[Host, the system has accepted your suggestion. From now on, Panageaʼs customers can take out their wealth in the form of the real worldʼs currency as long as they are in the store!]

Aakesh nodded in appreciation since it was what he liked about the system. The system wasnʼt rigid, and whenever Aakesh gave good suggestions, the system would accept them.
