The First Store System

Chapter 1010: Beast's Sales!

"Store owner, please initiate the taming battle," Trish requested Aakesh and gently passed the card to him.

Aakesh took the card and initiated the process by tapping twice on the pattern. He then returned the card to her.

Time flew by, and after what felt like hours, Trish finally succeeded in trumping her opponent and winning the contest.

The next moment, she found herself back in the store. A shocked expression appeared on her face when she noticed that no time had passed in reality.

***

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Aakesh was relaxing on his chair when he heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the store. He opened his eyes and turned that way, finding a group of unfamiliar faces proceeding in the store's direction. At the back, he finally noticed one familiar face.

***

"Is this the store?"

The group belonged to the Wheat-Spotted Demons, and they had come here after learning about the store from Bistrid. There were six people in the group, with the weakest being Bistrid and the strongest being a Higher God.

Bistrid respectfully nodded in response to his father's question.

The Higher God level cultivator was Bistrid's uncle, and his face was solemn while looking at the store.

"What are you thinking, brother?" Bistrid's father asked his elder brother.

"Control your actions, and don't do anything that might offend the store owner," The elder brother ignored the question and instead commanded the group.

Bistrid had already been inside the store, so he didn't find anything wrong with his uncle's statement but instead supported it.

"Let's go!" Bester ordered and proceeded ahead. The group didn't dare to ignore Bester's order and followed.

***

"Hello, store owner! I am Bester." Bester greeted Aakesh and then introduced himself.

"I am Aakesh," Aakesh replied in his usual manner.

"I would like to check the beasts sold by the store," Bester said, as he had already learned about the store's products from Bistrid.

Bistrid had a disappointed expression after he saw the number of people waiting for their turn to arrive.

Price: Seven thousand supreme Sacred stones.]

Bester was looking at the card in his hands. It was a creature Bester had only heard rumors of during one of his travels.

The Ghost Wolf was a creature that seemed to exist in both reality and the spirit worlds at the same time. It had a translucent body, and its fur was faded white. Its eyes were glowing blue and seemed to peer through the souls of the living.

The beast on the card was of legendary quality. If a Divine Transformation beast with ultimate quality reaches the Divine Lord level, its quality reverts to legendary, but the beast only costs seven thousand supreme sacred stones, whereas ultimate quality beasts cost more on average at the Divine Transformation level.

The price difference was due to the skill system. A Divine Transformation beast with ultimate quality usually came with seven skills, and when it would reach the Divine Lord level, the number of skills would also grow, while a Divine Lord beast with the legendary quality only had five skills.

When Bester saw the price, he froze. The next moment, a wave of disappointment washed over him, as he couldn't afford it. Even if he spent all of his life savings, he would still not be able to afford half the sale price.

"Uncle Bester, are you worried about not having enough money?" Bistrid asked after seeing the reaction made by his uncle.

Yesterday, Bistrid had gone through the same conundrum, so when he saw his uncle this way, he understood the issue.

Bistrid then told Bester about the loan option from the store. When Bistrid concluded, he couldn't help but become surprised as he didn't find the expression he wanted to see on his uncle's face.

Bester had a helpless smile spread across his face even when he learned that the store could loan him an amount. The store needed an item to be kept as leverage, and he had no item that could even cover half the total cost, let alone more than seven thousand supreme Sacred stones.

"You don't have to worry about me," Bester patted his nephew's shoulders and returned the card.

Time flew by, and Bester finally found a beast he could afford, and his fortune also helped him since it was also a Ghost Wolf.

Price: Three hundred supreme Sacred stones.]

Unfortunately for Bester, this Ghost Wolf didn't have the skill "Soul Leech," but since there were chances that it might awaken the skill and its cost was within an affordable range, Bester decided to complete the sale.

After Bester, it was the turn of Bisthal, the father of Bistrid.

Card Description: The Birch Dryad can create armor made of wood to protect herself from physical attacks. With their command over nature, they are a valuable ally to any team.

Price: Four hundred fifty supreme Sacred stones.]

Bisthal looked excited after reading the card details. The Birch Dryads were a peaceful race. The beings of this race were all female, with great beauty. They were tall and slender, with skin as white as a birch. Their hair was made of green leaves that cascaded like a stream down their backs.

Even though the card in Bistha's hands didn't have any offensive skills and was also more expensive than the supreme quality Ghost Wolf, Bisthal found himself interested in it. The skill, "Nature's Blessing," was a rare one that not every dryad could learn.

"Brother, do you have four hundred supreme Sacred stones?" Bisthal looked at Bester and asked.

***

"Store owner, please initiate the taming battle," Bester requested Aakesh, with his group members following him.

Bisthal and Bistrid stood at the back. Bistrid already had the beast, while Bisthal had an ugly face because he couldn't buy the Birch Dryad. Bester only had five hundred supreme Sacred stones with him, and he was going to spend three-fifths on the beast he wanted, so he didn't have the required amount.

***

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Every clash between Fidel and Riddley, broke the space, creating an explosion. Fidel had an ugly expression while Riddley looked calm as the battle between them was going on.

The Shadow King Wyrm and the Shadow Hunter couldn't stand the pressure released by their masters, so they became audience members.

"Hehe, my master is playing with your master," The wyrm commented as the battle went on.

The Shadow Hunter didn't say anything in response but only looked at the battle. The more it went on, the more disappointed he became with its master.

The battle between Fidel and Riddley was like a fight between an adult and a child. The child tried everything with their full strength while the adult played with it.

Time flew by, and the expected result of the battle arrived as one of Riddley's punches knocked out Fidel.

***

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Following the activation of their separate Ultimate Store Cards, Fidel, Ridley, and Fred teleported into the store one after another.
