The First Store System

Chapter 928: First-grade lesser Mind Expansion Pill(1)

[Host, the sun is about to rise on Thorr City!]

Aakesh was meditating when the emotionless voice of the system woke him up.

Aakesh opened his eyes and then inhaled and exhaled a deep breath.

Aakesh then stood up from the mat and summoned the door to his room. After he entered the room, the door automatically closed, and the meditation mat disappeared from the floor.

Time flew by, and minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Click!

With a clicking sound, the door of Aakesh's room opened, and soon after, he stepped outside and down the stairs.

***

As the sun rose in Thorr and nearby cities, the cover of darkness began to fade away, and soon only brightness was left.

Slide!

A sound rang in a small area on Seventeenth Street as Aakesh opened the store's door, announcing the start of a new day for it.

There was a group of people already waiting outside the store, so without making them delay any longer, Aakesh turned around and went to his chair while the group followed him inside.

As soon as the first three people stepped inside the store, a transparent, golden light covered them. Excited expressions appeared on the trio's faces since they wouldn't have to wait and would be able to enter Panagea in the first group.

While those who missed the chance to enter Panagea in the first group had disappointed faces, there were seven of them.

If none of them came for other products, three groups had already been filled for Panagea shortly after the store opened.

The three people chosen in the first group were Favan, Jemiah, and Ashley. The constituents of the group were ever-changing.

"Hello, store owner!" Favan respectfully greeted Aakesh after approaching him.

His eyes fell on the card machine placed next to the chair. Favan had already left the store when Joator arrived, so this was the first time he saw it.

The machine was already there before today, but it looked like a closed box, which wasn't the case today.

Favan politely questioned Aakesh about it, assuming it was a new product.

"It isn't a store product…."

Aakesh then explained the work of the card machine to Favan. Favan's soul almost left his body once he heard the Higher Store Card being the lowest of the three. Favan wanted to stop Aakesh from speaking further, as it was too much for his heart to bear. But since interrupting Aakesh would most likely offend him, Favan had no choice but to listen to the entire introduction.

Favan's shoulders had sunk after hearing about the supreme and ultimate grade of stones. But at least it was a new piece of knowledge he learned; he gained something.

Favan didn't want to stand here anymore and look at the card machine, so he requested Aakesh for Panagea and then proceeded toward the portal room after paying thirty-five lesser Sacred stones.

After Favan left, Ashley came forward. Jemiah also wanted to go ahead, but after seeing Ashley, he stopped and let Ashley go first. Not only did she have a better family background than him, but her cultivation level also surpassed his.

Like Favan, Ashley also looked at the card machine and made the same assumption. Aakesh then repeated the introduction of the card machine.

Ashley's reaction wasn't as exaggerated as Favan's, but she still fell silent. It was also the first for Ashley to hear about the ultimate Sacred stones. She knew that there was a supreme grade of Sacred stone, even though neither she nor her father had seen it, but she didn't know about the last and highest grade of stones.

Since Ashley's wealth didn't reach as high as even half of the higher Sacred stone, she couldn't afford it. She also left after paying for Panagea.

The scene repeated itself as Jemiah asked the same question, and Aakesh answered in similar words. Jemiah had been in the army for so long, so even if there was turmoil going on inside his head, his face would remain calm. But after hearing about the three store cards, he also had the same shocked reaction as others.

***

"You need to pay 35 lesser Sacred stones," Aakesh said expressionlessly to Jemiah.

Jemiah had a weird face since he still hadn't calmed down after learning about the cards and their cost. He then took the amount out of his space ring and handed it to Aakesh.

***

After the first group of customers left for Panagea, the transparent golden light returned and covered another three. They were Garos, Elera, and Ricky.

The four remaining people had disappointed faces as they went to the waiting corner with the three-second group adventurers.

As they were leaving, Garos' eyes fell on the pill counter. Garos noticed that there were more shelves than usual. As Garos counted them, he found that the number of shelves had doubled.

Since the pills from the store help treat Elera, Garos would look at the pill counter every day. It was his way to feel grateful toward the store.

Garos suddenly turned around and approached Aakesh, while Elera wanted to stop Garos, seeing the sudden reaction. But after seeing him going toward the store owner, she took her hands back and decided to wait for him at the waiting corner.

"Store owner, what new pills did you get?" Garos smilingly asked Aakesh.

"None of them are for you. Do you still want to know about them?"

Aakesh asked for confirmation. It would prevent him from continuing because none of the five recently acquired pills could be used by cultivators who were at the Divine Lord level.

When Garos heard Aakesh, he was slightly disappointed, but he soon calmed down and requested that Aakesh share the introduction. He was a Divine Lord, but Elera hadn't reached that level, so if there was something good in the five pills, it could help her.

"The store now has five new types of pills."

"First-grade lesser Body Strengthening Pill: The pill helps increase the cultivator's physical strength and endurance…,"

Aakesh then told Garos about the pills and their varieties.

When the turn for the Mind Expansion Pill arrived, a smile spread across Garos' face. Elera's cultivation was on the verge of reaching the Divine Lord; it would help her.
