The First Store System

Chapter 1432: An Old Customer(7)

Tap! Tap! Tap!

The sound of footsteps approaching the store rang in Aakesh's ears. It had only been around two minutes since the store opened its door, so he was busy in conversation with another customer. Aakesh didn't look at the source and maintained his focus on the customer who was paying for their Panagea stay.

***

Alon stood in front of the store and looked at the building with an astonished expression. His cultivation was only early Divine Transformation, and his aura wasn't even stable yet. It was the aura of someone who had just stepped onto the level.

Alon was a customer of the store from the Primal Dimension, but since several tens of thousands of years have passed since the store owner returned to the Sacred Dimension, Alon hasn't seen the store owner's face. He had only heard about the man.

Alon belonged to the Farigatra, a race of the Primal Dimension. In the lower dimension, it belonged to the Demon group, while there was no member of the race powerful enough to ascend. Alon was the first Farigatra to ascend to the Sacred Dimension.

As his race was of the demon group, and as his luck would have it, after his ascension, he appeared in a nearby universe. The store card helped the customers from the Primal Dimension find the location of the store, and if they were inside the teleportation range, it could even help them reach the store.

Right after Alon ascended, the store card began to glow, and soon after, the information about the store appeared in his mind. His luck wasn't terrible, and the distance between the store and the location where he ascended was smaller than the teleportation range, so he stepped into the projection and appeared in front of the store.

When he arrived, it was night, and the store was closed. Since Alon was in a new place, he needed to find information about the area, so he began his search for information while also waiting for the store to open.

Alon had no idea about the time system of the planet, so when he arrived near the store, the street was already empty.

***

Alon took a deep breath, and a wide smile spread across his face as he looked at the familiar feeling. The building was built differently than what it was in the Primal Dimension, but the sense of familiarity remained.

Alon couldn't see or hear what was going on inside the store, so he took another deep breath and calmed down his excited heart. He climbed up a couple of steps and stepped foot inside the store.

The next moment, the view in front of him changed, and the former luxury appeared in his sight. He couldn't help but beam with joy when he caught sight of the blue-skinned man. Alon had only heard about the legend of the man, and he finally saw him with his own eyes.

Even though several thousands of years had passed in the Primal Dimension, the store was still as popular as ever, and it was expanding its consumer base every day. It kept Aakesh alive in the eyes of the populace. There was another reason behind Aakesh's popularity. 

Aakesh had left seven orbs of inheritance before returning, and five of them had found their fated cultivator. All five had reached the peak of the Primal Dimension. The last thing Alon heard of the five superstars was that two of them had ascended to the Sacred Dimension, and the other three were contending for the top spot.

***

After waiting for several minutes, it was Alon's turn. He stood in front of Aakesh, keeping his head down and daring not to look at him directly.

"Are you from the Primal Dimension?" Aakesh asked as he sensed the familiar store's aura from the stranger. He would usually greet the customers from the Primal Dimension, so Aakesh took the initiative in the conversation, noticing the man's nervousness.

Alon raised his head in joy and excitedly nodded. If those who knew Alon were to see this, they would be dumbfounded.

His personality can be seen from the fact that he was the first of his race to ascend. The struggles he had to go through to achieve that level were no joke. Despite that, he acted like a fanboy in front of Aakesh. When Aakesh returned to the Sacred Dimension, he wasn't even born.

Aakesh kept his indifferent face, looking at the myriad of expressions the man went through after his statement.

Aakesh snapped his finger, and the next moment, Alon immediately calmed down. Alon hadn't even stabilized his cultivation, so it was easy for Aakesh to influence Alon's emotions.

"Hello, senior, I am Alon. I come from the Farigatra race…"

The next moment, Alon opened his mouth and didn't stop speaking, sharing his entire history with Aakesh.

"I am Aakesh," Aakesh introduced himself, cutting Alon off from further talking.

Aakesh had to stop Alon since he didn't have all the day to converse with him. It was only early in the morning, and customers were entering the store. In fact, in the time Alon shared his introduction and how he found the store in the Primal Dimension, more than two hundred customers had joined the queue, waiting for their turn.

Cough!

Alon coughed fakely to remove the awkwardness after Aakesh stopped him from further speaking about his experience.

"Senior, are the store products similar to what they are in the Primal Dimension?" Alon asked since there were a similar number of rooms open as they were in the lower dimension.

Aakesh nodded and then introduced the products sold in the store. The title was same, but the content was different.

Alon listened to every word Aakesh said with full concentration, and once Aakesh concluded, he bowed to his chest and sincerely thanked Aakesh.

Aakesh simply nodded in response to Alon's thanks and waited for him to choose which product to start with.

Alon could see that Aakesh didn't like wasting time, so he didn't stand there dumbly and asked about Panagea.

Alon had been the store's regular long enough to know that there were no spots available for him to enter, but he wanted to ask about how to exchange money through Panagea. He had just ascended, so his pockets were empty.
