The First Store System

Chapter 1053: A New Day for the Store(1)

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

The system's timely alert woke Aakesh up from his meditation. He opened his eyes and stood up.

After ending the competition yesterday, Aakesh played with Lily for an hour, then they did their usual training, and after that, Lily went to Panagea.

Time flew by, and the time for the sunrise arrived. Since yesterday was the Nightless Day, the sun hadn't set, so there was no sunrise this morning.

Aakesh opened the door to his store, and a crowd waiting for the store to open greeted his sight.

The crowd's eyes lit up when the store opened. Aakesh didn't let them wait for long and turned around, returning to his chair.

The crowd outside the store entered the store like a raging tide.

The phenomenon of golden light covering customers appeared as their numbers exceeded the number of virtual portals available in the story by a mark.

There were 37 people left after all 148 customers entered Panagea after completing their payments the way they would.

Out of the remaining thirty-seven, a few went toward the training area, while some went toward the cultivation arts room.

Aakesh was going to close his eyes when he heard the sound of footsteps coming from the door. He turned around in that direction and found a familiar face.

The face was familiar, but the customer was new, as the man was one of the attendees at yesterday's competition.

"Hello, store owner!" Borat respectfully greeted Aakesh.

Aakesh nodded and waited for the man to ask about the store's products. Borat didn't disappoint Aakesh; the next question he asked was to introduce the store's products.

"The store currently sells five products...

Aakesh introduced all five products and their basic information to Borat in a single breath.

Borat had already seen the competition yesterday, so he knew about the beasts, but learning that there was something like Panagea in the store surprised him.

Borat primarily came here to attempt to buy a beast, but after learning about Panagea, he wanted to enter that world and experience it for himself.

"Store owner, I want to enter Panagea," Borat requested, and then he started to take the required sum out of his space ring.

The next moment, Borat's hand movement froze after he heard Aakesh.

Borat didn't feel disappointed since waiting for some hours wasn't a big deal to him. He thanked Aakesh and then bombarded him with questions related to beasts. Since there was waiting time for Panagea, Borat decided to see if he could buy a beast in his range.

Venomous Bite - The Green Ferret's bite is venomous and can incapacitate its prey or deter predators.

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

Price: Seven thousand eight hundred higher Sacred stones.]

Borat read the details published on the card in his hands.

On the card illustration, there was a furry creature. It had bright green fur that seemed soft to touch. Its eyes were large and bright green, matching its fur.

It was Borat's third summon, and he finally found a beast he liked and could afford at the same time.

Borat came from a wealthy family, so he could gather the sum of ten thousand ordinary Sacred stones.

Since Borat had made up his mind he didn't waste a single moment in the room and left it.

"Store owner, I want to initiate the taming battle," Borat requested Aakesh, extending the card to him.

Aakesh grabbed the card, took a single look at the beast, and then tapped on the storefront pattern on the back of the card.

***

Borat had an excited smile spread across his face as he won over the Green Ferret in the battle. He could now buy the beast and take it out.

It didn't take long for him to complete the next remaining steps, and in the end, he finally had ownership of the Green Ferret.

"Thank you, store owner," Borat thanked Aakesh and then went toward the waiting corner to wait for Panagea.

Aakesh closed his eyes as there were no new customers in his sight,

Tap! Tap! Tap!

It wasn't very long before Aakesh heard the sound of footsteps approaching the store. He opened his eyes and turned in that direction. The next moment, a group of familiar faces entered the store.

The group was composed of both regular and new customers, and they were none other than the duo of Asher and Alfred and the King pair.

Jerome and Jamie were behind, while Alfred and Asher were leading the group. Asher and Alfred's expressions didn't look good, as Jerome and Jamie had been here since yesterday.

Every moment Jerome spent in Thorr City was like an emotional ordeal for Asher and Alfred. No one knew when Jerome would explode, harming them and the Vurrons. It kept the duo on edge at all times.

"Hello, store owner!"

"Hello, store owner!"

Alfred and Asher greeted Aakesh, respectively. Their respect for Aakesh had grown even further after yesterday's competition.

The competition was an eye-opener for them, and after watching it, whatever fears the duo had about Aakesh dissipated. They understood that the gap between them and Aakesh was wider than the chasm between heaven and earth. Aakesh would never have any interest in the territories of Vurrons.

Jamie and Jerome also came forward and greeted Aakesh. From Jamie, Aakesh sensed a mixture of different emotions, while from Jerome, he only sensed anger.
