The First Store System

Chapter 1149: The Sixth Product(3)

Aakesh was relaxing in his chair when he suddenly heard the sound of several mechanical alerts bombarding his head.

Since there were no customers approaching him at that moment, Aakesh focused on the alerts.

[Ding!]

[Host, congratulations on completing the "Mission Objective: Sell Pills" successfully! The sale commission has been transferred to you.]

[The "Mission Reward: King Grade Pills" will be given after the store's closing!]

[Please see the following screen for your fifth pill's quest!]

The next moment, a blue window containing the details of the fifth pill's quest appeared in front of him.

[Mission Sequence: Fifth

Objective: Sell pills,

Detail: With Benington's purchase, the store had met all of the previous sales requirements for the fourth pill quest. Since we are just getting started, now is not the time to celebrate. Work even more diligently to make more and more customers interested in the product.

Number of pills you need to sell: 100,000,000,000 (each category),

Days required: 36,000 days,

Mission reward: Ten new pill types addition in all Lesser, Higher, and King grades,
Failure Punishment: The random disappearance of ten types of pills and the sales commission will turn to 0 at the eligible product's sale for the next one hundred fifty years.]

Aakesh heard all the alerts and soon focused on the blue screen in front of him. The quest's requirements had grown a thousandfold, and the mission wanted the store to sell 100 billion pills for each category.

After the reward today, the number of pills available for sale would go to sixty, with twenty types each in all three grades. Keeping in mind that change, the store would need to sell a total of 6 trillion pills, which was 1500 times more than the fourth quest, whereas the deadline to do it had only grown by ten times to a hundred years.

Aakesh didn't worry much about the high requirement since the store was growing at a higher rate than the quest's conditions. He then looked at the reward section, and as expected, it was the addition of new pill types, not a new grade of pills.

Aakesh only took a casual glance at the failure punishment and waved his hands. The next moment, the screen disappeared, waiting for him to call it back again.

Aakesh remembered that he had more quests running at that moment, and since there were no customers approaching from either outside the store or inside, so he decided to check them.

The next moment, screen after screen of active quests appeared in front of him.

The screens related to the third collective quest, the recently generated pill, and the weapon's quest disappeared, leaving Aakesh with screens related to the beast, cultivation art, Panagea's mission screen, and their progress screens.

Aakesh first focused on the Panagea screen and found that the store was doing well. The quest was several years away from completion, but with the way the customers were entering Panagea, Aakesh believed that there would be no issue with him losing any day since the requirement was 150,000 Panagea hours for five thousand consecutive days.

After Panagea, Aakesh focused on the cultivation arts quest screen.

[Mission Sequence: Fourth

Mission objective: Sell cultivation arts,

Requirement: After the sale from Rounic, the store has fulfilled the requirements set by the system. It's not the time to celebrate, but it's only the beginning. Work even more diligently to make more and more customers interested in the product

Sale: 25,000

Time limit: 3600 days

Mission reward: King level cultivation arts,

Failure punishment: Sales commission will get reduced to 0% for the cultivation arts for hundred years for the product.]

[Quest Progress:

Sale: 14,729/25,000,

Time: 2832/3600.]

The cultivation arts quest requirements were the most difficult to fulfill due to their extremely high prices, but since there were still more than two years left before the time limit came to an end, Aakesh didn't worry much about the remaining sales.

Aakesh was then going to look at the beast's quest screen when he heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the store.

Aakesh turned around and found that it was an unfamiliar face entering the store. Aakesh waved his hands, and the next moment, all the screens disappeared while the man approached Aakesh.

"Hello, store owner," The man respectfully greeted Aakesh once he reached him.

Aakesh nodded in response to the man's greeting and waited for him to ask about the store's products.

"I am Grimlac, the son of Jomlac, and the grandson of Gumlac," The man introduced himself and his famous ancestors.

Aakesh nodded since he had heard the name Gumlac. Gumlac was the primogenitor of the race Gumlac, a race in the demon group. It wasn't a very strong race, but what made Gumlac famous enough to be considered an example in the system's knowledge was his survival.

Gumlac descended from a very powerful ruling race of demons that were now extinct. Gumlac was the son of the ruler of the race at that time, but suddenly a disaster erupted, making them extinct. Only Gumlac was able to survive, and that too due to a very powerful item he had gotten from ruin during his youth.

Even though Gumlac survived, the powerful item was ruined while Gumlac's cultivation dropped to Supreme God from Sacred Monarch, with him unable to grow in the future due to the aftereffects of that disaster.


The disaster also altered Gumlac's genes, making him a different race than his father; hence, he became the primogenitor of a new race, and since his name was Gumlac, he named the race Gumlac.

Since Gumlac no longer had the ability to protect the remaining wealth left by his powerful father and other members of his race, he had to leave that and start from scratch.

Jomlac was the son Gumlac had after that accident, making him the second member of the Gumlac race, but after giving birth to Jomlac, Gumlac's cultivation receded again, and soon after he died.

A similar thing happened with Jomlac, when Grimlac was born, Jomlac's cultivation also started to recede, and soon he died, making Grimlac the only Gumlac in the Multiverse.

Since there were two examples ahead of him, Grimlac couldn't have children.

"I am Aakesh," Aakesh replied, with his usual response to any introduction.
