The First Store System



Chapter 1240: Helplessness!

The next moment, she found herself back in the store with the same stunned expression. Vanya couldn't help but take a deep look at the skill card as she took it out of the compartment.

The next moment, the screen on the pillar lit up, showing the training time.

[Skill: Sharp Edge

Level: Emperor

Cultivator: early to peak Supreme God

Compatibility: 91%

Training Time: Six Months

Vanya couldn't help but take a deep breath when she saw her compatibility with the skill. According to what the store owner had told her, anything above seventy percent was talent, while anything above 80% was extremely rare. Vanya had a compatibility exceeding ninety percent, and it was also the reason behind the short training tenure of six months to thoroughly learn the skill.

After calming down, Vanya focused on the second skill card in her hand. She then placed it in its respective spot.

The next moment, Vanya found herself in an unfamiliar environment. She was currently on a battlefield with gigantic creatures charging at her.

For a moment, Vanya could feel her heartbeat rushing through the chart, but the next moment, her body acted on its own and activated the skill [Mighty Valor].

As she activated the skill, the sword in her hand started to glow radiantly. The glow didn't stop there but started to surround Vanya.

Vanya could feel strength pulsating through her veins as the glow around her deepened. Vanya believed in herself not to lose at the same level, but at that moment, she could see her strength grow at a rapid rate. Even she was afraid to fight someone of her strength at that time.

When the glow reached its peak, there was almost an opaque barrier around her. The next moment, it faded, entirely melting into Vanya.

Vanya could feel her strength at a level where she couldn't believe it to be, and her body acting on its own slashed.

Just the air force released from the slash cut apart several of the gigantic creatures around her. It was only the start, as there were hundreds of creatures of the same strength as the original Vanya.

The ground beneath her feet was sinking, as her weight had also grown terrifyingly high in that state. It didn't mean that she had gotten slow. In fact, Vanya was quicker than she ever was at that moment.

Vanya pounced, cracking the ground beneath her feet. With every slash made by her, an opponent crashed to the ground in disfigurement.

The battle finally reached its last leg as there was only one opponent left, and it was the strongest Vanya had faced till that moment.

Vanya found the energy flow in her body flowing crazily and gathering at her hands, holding the sword's handle. Even the space around her started to crack as it could no longer bear that strength.

Vanya finally slashed the sword, and as it touched the opponent, instead of cutting it, it minced the creature into a pulp. As the sword's tip touched the ground after the successful attack, the ground in the range of hundreds of miles broke down, turning into a large pit. Only in the area where she was standing was there any ground with not even a hint of a crack.

The exhausting side effect of the skill finally played out as Vanya felt a wave of fatigue hit her.

The next moment, Vanya returned to the store with her back wet with sweat. She believed that [Sharp Edge] had surprised her just enough, but [Mighty Valor's] destruction was on a whole other level.

The following second, the screen on the semi-pillar lit up, showing the training details. Since the content was engraved on the customer's mind once they looked at it, Vanya left the queue, and another customer took her spot.

After leaving the queue, Vanya focused on the screen's content.

[Skill: Mighty Valor

Level: Emperor

Cultivator: early to peak Supreme God

Compatibility: 93%

Training Time: Ten Years.]

In the case of [Mighty Valor], Vanya's compatibility was even higher. After ninety percent, even a slight increase in compatibility was a rare event, but she was two percent higher.

Despite her compatibility being higher, the training time for the skill was a full ten years. Vanya didn't feel much of a surprise over the long training years.

The last attack unleashed in the experience area was an extremely controlled strike. Despite there being such broad and intense destruction, the ground beneath her feet was safe from any damage at all and stood like a pillar in that large pit spanning over hundreds of miles.

Vanya took a deep breath and calmed her pounding heart after remembering the destruction. A decade wasn't that long of a time in the Sacred Dimension, so she couldn't wait to use that skin with such control in reality.

Since the experience was done and Vanya didn't need any new skills, she turned around and left the room, her direction being Aakesh's.

There was a small queue in front of Aakesh, so Vanya had to wait before her turn finally arrived.

"Store owner, I want to complete the purchase," Vanya requested of Aakesh, passing the two skill cards to him.

Aakesh nodded and took the two cards from her hands. As he looked at the card, the details appeared in his eyes.

"You need to pay eleven hundred and eleven supreme Sacred stones," Aakesh expressionlessly informed her, returning the two cards to her.

The next moment, a mechanical alert rang in her ears. As Vanya accepted the notification, the respective amount disappeared from her card, and the alert about the remaining balance rang in her head.

Now cultivation arts and the Beast Summoner Device were the two products available to Vanya to check for the day. She decided to go for the beast and then asked Aakesh different questions regarding it.

Once Vanya had received sufficient answers, she thanked Aakesh and then proceeded toward the beast room.

When Vanya entered the room, her eyes fell on the second pillar and the few customers in front of it. She joined the queue, and to pass the waiting time, she looked around at the murals painted across the wall.

From what the store owner had told her, she had given up on getting an Ultimate quality beast since the price was something she couldn't take out, and she also didn't have anything of enough value.

If the store had acted like it did the last time she came, she could have bought the beast and then pay the cost in the fixed tenure, but nothing of the sort existed in the store anymore. The payment needed to be completed immediately to buy.

Thinking like that, Vanya finally reached the pillar. Hoping for a suitable beast for her, Vanya set the summon to random and pressed the button.

The next moment, the square light began to rotate, and soon its speed grew quick enough to make Vanya feel dizzy. Five seconds passed in a flash, and the rotation came to an end.

The next moment, a beast appeared on the screen, and not long after it, a card formed out of thin air and flew into Vanya's hand.

Vanya caught the card and focused on the details written on it.

This card can be used to summon a powerful monster onto the battlefield, capable of dealing massive damage to its opponent as well as supporting its allies. Use it wisely, and watch your opponents fall before the might of the Revered Bull. 

Price: One hundred thousand ultimate Sacred stones.]

When Vanya saw the quality section and found Ultimate there, she didn't feel joyous. Instead, she felt a wave of helplessness engulf her.

She didn't want an ultimate quality beast since she would want it but wouldn't be able to afford it. It was a terrible situation, and that exact situation played out in front of her.
