The First Store System

Chapter 918: Customer from the Primal Dimension!

Richard was one of the store's customers who ascended before the store owner.

It had been a few months since he had set foot in this higher dimension. Richard's luck was great as he ascended to the same territory controlled by his fellow race.

Richard belonged to a Demon race in the Primal Dimension and the Sacred Dimension, and that race controlled a city.

The city fell in the Ronar Kingdom, and as Richard's heavenly luck would have it, the Ronar Kingdom was the neighboring Kingdom to the Fawkes Kingdom, the store's home. Unfortunately for Richard, he was unaware of that fact.

When he was ascending, the Supreme Store Card also came with him. Since he couldn't afford something like a space ring, he always kept the card in his pockets since that was the safest place.

Richard was meditating as usual when he suddenly felt his pocket burning up.

Richard threw the pocket away from him in a hurry, as he didn't know what was going on. Richard decided to run away, as he felt that something had reacted and was going to explode. He had only taken two steps when his face turned ugly as he remembered that the pocket also housed the store card.

Richard couldn't let anything happen to the card because it was his only chance of ever finding the store in the Sacred Dimension.

Calming himself down, Richard charged at the pocket. He hurriedly spilled all the items.

The next moment, a wondrous expression appeared on his face as he found the card to be the source of heat. All the items fell to the ground when he spilled them, except for the card. It began to float up, only stopping when it had reached his chest.

As he looked at the card, surrounded by a blinding light, Richard looked both worried and excited. He had no idea what was happening. At that moment, he only prayed in his heart that nothing would happen to the card since when he tried to touch it, a burning pain attacked him, forcing him to give up on it.

Time flew by, and soon the blinding light turned into a projection of the storefront.

Richard's breathing got rough, and his heart began beating quicker when he heard the message after the appearance of the projection.

There was a gleam in his eyes as he made up his mind to go through the gate.

Richard was already an Immortal when he discovered the store in the Primal Dimension, so it didn't benefit him as much as it did low-level cultivators. Now Richard was also like a low-level cultivator, so the benefits he would gain here would be several times what he gained when he was at the peak of his cultivation in the Primal Dimension.

Richard raised his feet and stepped through the projection. The next instant, he felt his body tearing apart and then recovering as a strange sensation attacked him. Fortunately for him, the feeling didn't last long.

When the light returned to his eyes, he found himself in unfamiliar surroundings with a building in front of him.

In the Sacred Dimension, the store's front looked entirely different from how it did in the Primal Dimension. In the Primal Dimension, whenever someone looked at the store, they could feel majesty oozing out of it, but there was no such case here. The building looked as ordinary as the nearby buildings.

If not for the store's name in large golden fonts, Richard wouldn't have believed this ordinary building to be the store.

Richard had appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the street and was also a different species of demon, so a crowd had gathered around him. Even though demons weren't as prejudiced toward other demons as they were toward non-demons, they still didn't like other demons appearing in their territory.

Richard ignored the glances of the people around him as he entirely focused on the building in front of him.

Richard understood that this time his status wasn't the same as it was in the Primal Dimension. Even though the store owner treated him the same way as the store owner treated a low-level cultivator, he now had no financial capability to speak. Richard was now the same as the other cultivators, who had no money and could only live with Panagea in the store.

Richard took a deep breath and then proceeded forward. A smile spread across his face as he came across the same array that stopped him from seeing or hearing anything that happened inside the store.

After Joator left for the cultivation arts room, Aakesh closed his eyes. Only a few minutes had passed when he heard footsteps coming from the door.

Aakesh opened his eyes and turned in the direction of the door, and he was surprised when he saw a familiar face after a long time.

Although Aakesh was aware that the store card would serve as a locator for the previous store customers, he never anticipated that a cultivator would be so close to the range of the store. Only a heavenly fortune could explain that luck.

As Richard entered the store, he came across the indifferent sight of the store owner. Richard couldn't help but laugh out loud as past memories of the store flashed in his eyes.

"Store owner, remember me?" Richard grinningly asked.

"Yes, Richard," Aakesh replied expressionlessly. Aakesh would usually only nod to questions like this but since Richard was the first customer from the Primal Dimension, Aakesh decided to speak.

"It's great that you remember my name," Richard's grin got wider.

"How are you, store owner?"

Aakesh only nodded in response this time.

"Did you return only today?" Richard asked another question.

"Around a week ago."

It was now the turn of Richard to get surprised since he thought that his card became active only today because the store owner only returned today to the Sacred Dimension.

Richard then asked a few more questions about the Primal Dimension and the store there. Aakesh answered a few words while nodding in response to others.

"So, store owner, what products does the store sell here?" Richard asked since he knew the store owner didn't like to chat much with others.
