The First Store System



Chapter 1331: Selecting the Candidate(18)

If it had noticed Phily's condition, the Golden Crown Whale would have seen that it didn't need to panic at all. Phily was in even more terrible shape and seemed on the verge of exploding into a blood cloud.

Unfortunately for the beast, the feeling of shame if its crown cracked reached an extreme state. It immediately tried to prostrate in front of Phily and thought of surrendering.

Boom!

Right at that moment, there was a blood explosion, and even the darkness of the deep ocean couldn't hide the red blood.

The crown stopped further cracking, but the beast had an unsightly expression. If it had waited for even a microsecond, the situation would have turned differently.

The moment the thought of surrendering appeared in its head, the battle was over. It no longer mattered that Phily had exploded and died.

***

A confused expression appeared on Phily's face as his consciousness returned to the store.

Hiss!

The next moment, an unbearable pricking pain attacked him. The confusion disappeared, and a pained expression appeared, but it immediately disappeared.

Phily only remembered that he had the urge to kneel in the deep ocean, but he remembered nothing after that.

But the confusion suddenly disappeared, and an excited expression appeared in his eyes. The appearance of the pain meant that he had won the taming battle.

The next moment, the screen on the device lit up, and the content of the contract appeared on it.

He glanced at the screen and found nothing wrong with the content. He then turned around and left the device since the last step before completing the payment was still left. The beast was of ultimate quality, so he had to complete the final phase with the store owner.

When Phily left the room, he noticed two extra chairs and two beautiful ladies sitting on it near the store owner. Phily couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air, and a foolish smile appeared on his face after seeing the seductively beautiful woman next to Aakesh.

The other woman was also beautiful, but the one closest to Aakesh was his type, so he had a greater reaction toward her.

Suddenly, the foolish smile on his face froze when he saw the woman turning around and looking at him.

Phily immediately moved his eyes away and took a deep breath, calming his heart. Someone who could sit with the store owner can't be an ordinary figure.

Katrina smiled when she saw Phily. A hint of disappointment appeared on her face when Phily gave up so easily. Phily wasn't the first to look at her that way, and he certainly wouldn't be the last.

It was her only diversion for the rest of the day, aside from talking to Aakesh and Khaval.

***

Fortunately for Phily, there was no one in front of the store owner, so he immediately coughed up the awkwardness and approached the store owner. At the same time, he kept his eyes away from the beautiful woman.

Aakesh was only about to close his eyes, but when he heard the sound of footsteps approaching him from the beast room, he stopped and waited for the customer.

"Senior, I want to complete the purchase," Phily requested, passing the beast card to Aakesh.

Aakesh nodded and took the card. When he glanced at it, the purchase details appeared in his mind.

"You need to pay eighty-four thousand… Sacred stones," Aakesh expressionlessly informed Phily and returned the card to him.

The next moment, an autonomous alert rang in Phily's head.

[Do you want to pay using the lending card?]

Phily immediately nodded since that card was the only reason he was even able to buy the beast.

[Eighty-four thousand… Sacred stones have been deducted from the borrowed limit. The remaining amount is nine hundred and fifteen thousand… Sacred stones.]

The next moment, another alert rang in Phily's head, and there were changes in the screen on the Lending Card as well.

"The beast is yours from now on," Aakesh informed Phily after the system told him about the successful payment.

"Thank you, senior," Phily thanked Aakesh and then left the line. He still didn't dare look at the woman.

Phily didn't leave the store but walked toward the skill room. Due to a lack of money, he was unable to buy skills and had to buy the Master and Expert level skills.

Now that he had wealth, he decided to purchase a suitable attacking skill for himself. As for upgrading the two defensive skills he bought, Phily decided against that. He had money, but it didn't mean that he needed to spend it all.

The two skills he bought were fine with him, so there was no need. And since his compatibility with the two skills was so high, he would be able to unleash the effects of each skill.

After entering the room, Phily immediately walked in the direction of the required counter. He then reached into the God level shelf in the second row.

When he pulled his hand out, there was a skill card in it. Phily read the details and didn't find it to his liking. So he returned it and pulled out another one.

[Name: Tempest Cataclysm

That time, Phily liked what he saw, so he decided to keep the skill.

He then walked toward the semi-pillar to experience the skill.

Time flew by, and several hours passed in a flash.

The sunset arrived in Thorr and its nearby cities. After no one was left, it was time for Aakesh to close the door.

When Aakesh was about to close the door, he stopped as he heard the sound of familiar footsteps approaching the store.
