The First Store System

Chapter 183: End

Seeing Maria refusing even a supreme mine, no one dared to present their offer anymore.

Maria heaved a sigh of relief, seeing no offer coming her way. She then thanked Evelyn for showing a way to her.

Seeing that the fuss about bidding had died, Aakesh decided to present their reward to the winners.

Aakesh snapped his fingers, and the next moment, the virtual projections of the three territories appeared on the platform.

All three participants forgot everything at that time and only focused on their winning territories.

Robert will get the green territory, Maria yellow, and Eris will get the blue projection.

The next moment, the projections disappeared, and in place of them, three different colors responding to the territory, cards appeared. Each color card represented the rank of its respective territory.

The next moment, all three cards automatically flew into Aakesh's hands.

He then called over the winners and handed them their respective cards.

The cards would automatically activate when they would enter the Panagea. Winners would enter their own territory directly instead of spawning in their town.

Aakesh also told them that their territory had a limited period of protection.

The green territory will have a protection period of one year, the yellow territory's protection will increase to five years, and the blue territory will have the maximum time of protection from any attacks. It will have a protection period of ten years.

"Senior, can I create an organization in my territory?" Maria suddenly asked after Aakesh stopped explaining the reward.

"You can do anything you want in your territory," Aakesh expressionlessly responded.

He knew why Maria asked this question. When Maria was about to sell her territory for a supreme mine, Evelyn suggested, she should instead create her own organization rather than selling for one?

Since what power level the being in the actual world has doesn't matter in the Panagea, even Immortals would be willing to join her organization. She could ask for a favor in the actual world to let them join her organization and use the resources of the territory for themselves. 

Aakesh had already said that many low-value resources in the Panagea would be valuable resources in the Primal dimension, so she could easily use them for her benefit in the real world.

Evelyn suggested this to Maria because first, she was a low-level cultivator in the real world. Even in the Panagea, Evelyn was the highest level adventurer, so she didn't need to join her organization, but suggesting Maria this gave her two benefits.

First, since it was her idea, she would get some percent of control over the organization and the territory's resources, and second, her leveling speed would increase by several folds in the new territory.

Maria wasn't a child, so she knew Evelyn had her own plans behind this suggestion, but still, she accepted her suggestions because creating an organization of her own was better than selling the territory.

Maria nodded after hearing Aakesh. "I have another question, senior," She added.

Aakesh nodded and told her to go ahead.

"If a new person who had never entered Panagea joined my organization, would they directly spawn in my territory?"

"Yes, but only after the world registers your organization..."

Maria could create her own organization anytime she wanted inside her territory, but before that, she needed to complete a mission required for it.

After she successfully completed the quest, the system would register her organization in the Panagea. After that, she could recruit anybody she wanted.

It was set as a requirement to complete an organization quest because, once the organization started, they would be able to recruit not only adventurers but also the inhabitants of the Panagea. 

Maria nodded after hearing Aakesh's explanation. She didn't have any problems with completing the quest, so she didn't mind.

Her face suddenly turned serious as she asked the most important question in her mind.

"Senior, since I am a low-level cultivator, and the value of my territory is too valuable for anyone to pass it, many would try to kill me to gain it, so what would happen to the territory if someone succeeded in killing me?"

Evelyn and George couldn't help but smile wryly, hearing this question. They understood Maria's situation, but still, the distrust in them felt disrespectful to them.

While many in the crowd who had this idea focused on what Aakesh would respond to.

Aakesh ignored the reaction of the crowd and expressionlessly answered, "You don't need to worry about that. Inside the Panagea, your territory would have the protection period of five years, and if somehow you died in real life, your territory would become nameless and the protection period would end prematurely, and the Kingdoms around your territory would wage a war to retain that area into their Kingdom."

Maria heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Aakesh. Since killing her wouldn't present any advantage to the killer, so she was safe from betrayal.

She didn't need to worry about someone else killing her because she had already recruited two Immortals in her organizations that hadn't even taken birth yet.

While those who had plans to kill Maria to gain her territory shook their heads disappointedly since there was no benefit for them in killing her.

Since the event had ended, Aakesh waved her hands, and the next moment all the participants disappeared from the platforms and appeared on their seats.

It was still four-five hours until sunset. If Aakesh wanted he could organize another event, but after thinking for some time, he decided against it.

Since he had completed the quest successfully, he would get a new product for the store, and the number of participants was several times greater than the required amount, so he was sure to get a bonus reward as well.

"Since it was the last contest of the three-day event, the event ends here," Aakesh announced the conclusion of the event.

[Ding!]

The next moment, mechanical alerts signifying the completion of the quest began appearing inside her head, but he ignored it since there were still people sitting in the store.

Aakesh told the crowd to leave the store since the event had ended. The people had disappointed expressions because they wanted to see more, but since Aakesh had already announced the end, there was no point in waiting.

People began leaving one by one after that since they only needed to think and they would appear at the exit of the store.
