The First Store System



Chapter 1136: A New Customer!

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Aakesh was relaxing in his chair when he heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the store. He opened his eyes and turned in that direction, an unfamiliar face greeting his sight.

"I finally reached here," Greton mumbled as he looked at the ordinary building in front of him. It was the same as how the store looked according to the description of his younger brother.

Greton belonged to the Destryan, a race in the beast group. The Destryans were humanoid creatures in the beast group and had a closer relationship with the ape group, but the Destryans differed completely from them in appearance.

Greton was an enormous humanoid being, standing at seventeen feet. His shoulders, biceps, and legs were broad enough to hide a well-built human behind him. Except for his face, there was not a single body part that was left untouched by silver fur, with a tint of black at the top, giving it a majestic appearance. The Destryans had three pairs of eyes, with pupils varying in color for every pair.

The upper pair of eyes had red sclera with silver pupils; the middle pair of eyes had a combination of gray sclera and red pupils; and the bottom set had black sclera and golden pupils.

Greton's younger brother, Feltin, was a regular customer at the store for the past year. From Feltin, Greton learned about the store.

It wasn't that Feltin immediately informed Greton about the store, but it was only around a month ago when he found out about it, and even that was due to Feltin owing him a favor.

Greton had noticed the change in his younger brother over the past years, so right after learning about the store, he left his clan and came running. Destryan wasn't an ordinary or a mid-tier race, it was one of the top hundred races of the beast group, with it having given birth to one Sacred Creator since its creation.

Greton and Feltin descended from the only Sacred Creator of the Destryan race, so their status wasn't ordinary in the clan. At that moment, the Destryan was ruled by a late Sacred Monarch since the Sacred Creator Destryan had ascended to the Primordial Dimension a long time ago.

It was just that the cultivator was immensely talented and strong; the resources gathered by him over his stay in the Sacred Dimension set the foundation of the race so strong that it was one of the top hundred races of the Beast Group despite only having a single Sacred Monarch in the race.

Greton was the elder son of the ruler, and he was next in line to be the ruler of the race, so his status was even higher than Feltin's.

Destryans were majestic-looking creatures, and being the crown prince of the race, Greton looked great. While he stood there looking at the store, he was greeted by many eyes looking at him with envy.

Greton took a step forward since he hadn't come here just for looking at the building. Even though Feltin didn't inform him of the store's products, the change in his strength in just a year was proof enough to show that the store wasn't anything ordinary. Greton didn't care about the sense-blocking array at the gate of the store since even he had one established at his palace.

As Greton stepped inside the store, the scene in front of him changed, and the luxurious appearance of the store spread out.

Greton's eyes fell on the entire floor made of Eternal stone, as far as his eyes could see. He looked in surprise since this luxury was out of his expectation. At the same time, anticipation for the store product grew in his heart since any store that would use Eternal Stone for flooring wouldn't sell ordinary products.

His eyes fell on the four open rooms, the blue-skinned store owner sitting on his chair, and a pill counter behind him.

Greton also noticed a white, furry little creature on the store owner's bun. His heart suddenly palpitated, and his bloodline boiled.

Greton frowned since the reaction from his body could mean only one thing. The white, furry little creature had an even purer and stronger bloodline than him.

"Epochal Feline!" Greton suddenly exclaimed out loud as Lily looked back at Greton, showing his appearance.

Greton came from the beast group of races and a top race at that, so his knowledge regarding the top beast races was prominent. Epochal Feline was a great beast since it was not only a top predator, but many of the current top races descended from it.

"Hello, store owner!" Greton greeted Aakesh and looked at his head from time to time.

Greton had many questions regarding Lily, but he couldn't ask them as she showed no interest in them, and the store owner clearly seemed to agree with her.

Since there was no way to get his answers, Greton decided to focus on what was ahead of him, the store and its products. At the same time, Greton also decided to ask Feltin why he didn't talk about the Epochal Feline since its presence was great news worth celebrating for the beast group. The group needed someone to take them to the top of the Sacred Dimension, like in the time of the Chaotic Wyrms.

Greton didn't know that Feltin had no idea about Lily's existence. He came early in the morning and left during the day, while Lily returned to the store before sunset and left for Panagea after her training. Not many store customers were even aware of her existence.

Aakesh responded with a nod in response to the greeting, as he did with every customer.

"I am Greton…"

"I am Aakesh," Aakesh expressionlessly introduced himself in response to Greton's large introduction about him and his family.

"Store owner, what products are available in the store?" Greton asked after taking a quick look at Lily sitting atop Aakesh's head.

Lily didn't appreciate Greton looking at her. Even though there was nothing negative about his look—his eyes were only filled with curiosity and a slight hint of excitement—she still didn't like it.

Aakesh also noticed it, but since the man had asked about the store product, Aakesh began the introduction of the five available products at that time.
