The First Store System

Chapter 1575: (4) Huan and the Creature(1)

The two didnʼt know that Aakesh and the system clearly had no ulterior motive behind inviting Huan.

Huan had a great fate, and with the help of the Soul of Negativity, he was bound to become one of the powerhouses of the current epoch. For the store, the more powerful the customer, the wealthier they were. The wealth was what mattered most.

It didnʼt mean that being wealthy was a criterion for getting invited by the system. If that were so, there would have been many invitations. Aakesh decided to immediately find the standards for invitation once his authority reached a sufficient level.

Even though Huan and the creature didnʼt believe the store owner, they had no choice but to stop their questioning. It was store time, so Aakesh bluntly told them to focus on the products since many customers were waiting for their turn behind Huan.

”I already know about the available store products, but explain them to me,” Huan asked with a proud look. His expression said: ʼEven though you are the store owner and backed by a powerful figure, you still have to answer my questions.ʼ

Aakesh didnʼt care about that expression and explained all the products in detail.

After waking up as the host of the Soul of Negativity, Huan already had a defined power system, so cultivation art wasnʼt a product for him. Pills and weapons were of low grade for him, so they were also out of the question. Skills, Panagea, and beasts were left.

The Soul of Negativity also had its skills, but as per the creature, he was too weak at the moment to use any skills. Even a simple possession drained the two of them and forced them to recover for days in an average environment.

As for before waking up as the host, Huan had some skills, but they were of no use to him anymore. His body constitution had been changed, and he could no longer use any of the five elements.

Panagea could be useful to him, but Huan wasnʼt one to start a new adventure. If not for the creature pestering him to enter Panagea, it would have been the last in line of the products.

Fortunately for him and unfortunately for the creature, the entry spots had already been booked for the day, so if Huan wanted to enter, he could only enter the next day.

Even though beasts were also only at the peak of the Supreme God level, he still considered them because of his wife. She was a beastmaster, so she had many beasts, and through her, he also began to like having beasts as pets.

Before her wife and other beats were brutally murdered and eaten, he lived with several beasts of different races.

According to the store owner, everyone could own beasts irrespective of their power system, so Huan decided to give it a try.

Since Panagea was out of the question, only skills and beasts were left for him to choose from. Huan decided to do a coin toss. Whichever product came on top, he would go there first.

After the coin toss, the verdict was in favor of the beasts, so Huan asked some more questions related to the product and left the queue.

When Huan walked inside the room, he was greeted by numerous murals of different beasts. There were two pillars to choose from, and Huan chose the second one.

He only wanted one beast at the moment, so he chose the one which would give him a more powerful beast. He then joined the queue and waited for his turn.

While waiting, he and the creature were again fighting a war of words. Huan had only one requirement for the summoned beast. He only wanted it to be any of the ones his late wife had, whereas the creature asked for a powerful beast that could help him combat-wise.

”Fuck it! I will get one from that pillar also,” Huan yelled in anger after the creature threatened him with possessing him to get a beast of its liking.

”Only if an idiot like you can understand things quickly,” The creature sneered. It didnʼt worry about the store harming it.

Even though the creature and Huan had different personalities, they had the same origin. Whether the creature was in control or if it were Huan, there was nothing wrong with both cases.

Other customers in the line also heard Huan, so they angrily looked at him, gesturing for him to stay silent.

Huan wanted to fly out in rage since the customer gesturing at him was only a Lesser God. He could kill that bug with a simple wave of his hand.

But was suddenly stunned into shock. The creature, seeing that Huan was about to fly in rage and put the two of them in a life-threatening situation, immediately apologized.

”I am sorry for calling you an idiot.”

Huan stood there stunned for a while since it was the first instance of the creature apologizing. Even when he was lied to and had to run for several days, the creature further gaslighted him.

Huanʼs eyes suddenly lit up since he seemed to have found a new way to show the creature its place.

”Okay, I will forgive you this once. But if you ever call me an idiot again, only you will be responsible for the repercussions.”

The creature simply scoffed in response to Huanʼs threat, but it still smiled on the outside, showing that it had understood.

Huan was careful with his actions since he couldnʼt always use the same strategy to make the creature apologize. He needed to learn to be content, so he decided to wait for some time before he tried the action again.

”Sorry for that,” Huan then apologized to the man who had the Lesser God cultivation.

The man simply nodded and turned around, and at that time, his entire back was cold with sweat. He had carelessly gestured at the man in a loud posture to stay silent, but only after that did he notice the higher cultivation.

He was safe inside the store, but no one else was coming to save him outside the store. The man immediately promised to stay far from the store for some time after making the purchase.
