The First Store System

Liz was also one of the participants waiting in the queue to enter the store, so after the store opened, she proceeded straight away toward the portal room.

She couldn’t help but suck a cold breath of air as she looked at the endless number of portals in the store. Just at a glance, she could confirm that the room had seen an enormous increase in the number of virtual portals.

Liz then stopped thinking about it since it wasn’t anything special compared to the product the virtual portal was used for, and then she touched the nearest one with just the tip of her finger.

The next moment, a suction force strong than anything she could fight back appeared and sucked her inside. Liz didn’t attempt to fight back as there was no point in fighting back, and she came to the store to enter the world the space was sucking her inside in the first place.

The next moment, she disappeared from the store and appeared inside her territory’s hut.

Liz was currently Level 173. If she were to retain this level in the outside world, even a mortal would reach Tao Manifestation at that moment.

When Robert, Maria, and Eris had won their territories inside Panagea, two of them hadn’t even entered the world, so they were only starting. At that time, the dangerous creatures around red marks varied from Level 50 to 200 in the third-ranked territory.

Even though Liz won the same level of territory as her reward for winning the competition this year, the danger level wasn’t the same.

It varied according to the ruler’s level, so even the weakest red mark in Liz’s territory was around Level 175. It looked to be only a difference of the two levels when heard, but in reality, it was as different as heaven and earth.

After the 100th level, the way to increase levels in Panagea changed in its entirety.

Previously, the adventurers could complete quests or use meditation arts to increase their levels, but after level 100, it became an experience-type growth.

To get from Level 100 to Level 101, the adventurer needed 10 XP. And it grew tenfold with every increase in levels, meaning Liz needed 10 to the power 174 XP if she wanted to increase her level. This kind of increase made the growth more challenging for the adventurers with every increase in their Levels.

To gain XP, the adventurers could complete quests and use meditation arts just like before. Even the system knew it wouldn’t be enough as quests rarely gave more than a few XP if their difficulty wasn’t overwhelming for averagely talented people.

The system had added a way to gain XP to solve it, and it was to kill creatures belonging to Panagea. Not only that, even the inhabitants of Panagea could earn XPs if they were to kill adventurers, which in turn snatched the privilege of the adventurers where they were safe from the inhabitants of Panagea.

Not only that, but the system also added a side-effect to stop an adventurer from gaining XPs by killing a large number of specific race members in Panagea. It added hatred points. If an adventurer killed a large number of members belonging to a species, the specie would automatically issue a bounty on the adventurer, and any member of that race would be able to sense the adventurer if they were anywhere five hundred km around them. If they were within a radius of one hundred km, the precise location of the adventurer would get broadcasted directly in the mind of the race member.

The difficulty for the adventurer didn’t just end there. After reaching Level 100, dying in Panagea had side effects. For the first death, there would be a straight decrease of one level, if they consecutively died again, it would see a reduction of two levels, and if they died for the third time straight, they would get a drop of four levels. The decline rate would double with every consecutive death.

Similar to the difficulty rate, the reward rate also saw an increase.

After an adventurer reached Level 100, they would gain a new ability in the world of Panagea.

Previously, the customers could only buy the things related to Panagea by paying an outrageous amount of money. But after reaching the threshold, they could earn money in Panagea and could use that for buying the things they wanted to take out.

The system only charged a rate of five thousand percent when it came to exchanging the money from Panagea into the Primal stone.

One low soul stone belonging to Panagea was equivalent to one superior Primal stone, so to get one superior Primal stone from the system, the customers only needed to pay five thousand low soul stones.

Even Aakesh had taken a deep breath when he heard the exchange rate of Panagea currency to the Primal dimension’s currency from the system, but the customers had an entirely different reaction from Aakesh.

Previously, they were only paying and paying to grow themselves, but now not only can they grow strong, but they could also see an increase in their wealth, which was as good as the world could get for them. As for the black-hearted exchange rate, the customers didn’t care. They would happily oblige even if Aakesh were to double the exchange rate.

The exchange rate wasn’t only for the currencies. They could even exchange the materials, herbs, or weapons with real-world items if they had enough wealth to pay the rate of five thousand times.

“Hello, store owner,” A new customer arrived in the store as he greeted the man comfortably seated on his chair.

It didn’t take long for the new customer to guess the identity of the man seated on the chair, as his blue skin had become a trademark across the Primal dimension.

Aakesh only nodded in response to the man’s greeting.

“The store sells pills, Panagea, weapons, and training hours.”

“In pills, the store has inferior grade, medium grade….”

“In the inferior grade, the first pill is First-grade inferior healing pill: It can heal even severe external injuries without leaving any scars. The cost is 25 inferior Primal stones….”

Before the man could ask, Aakesh began his introduction of the store’s product from the first item. The system was very strict about Aakesh personally introducing the products, so Aakesh sincerely presented them to every new customer that arrived in the store. It didn’t matter even if they knew about the products.

After the pills, Aakesh introduced weapons and their training hours. After it was also done, Aakesh finally presented the information about Panagea, the most popular product in the store.

Sometimes the commission Aakesh earned from Panagea would even throw the commission he used to earn from the training area in the past. Every sale that happened in the store, except for the cards had commissions for Aakesh, so even at the exchange rate, he earned from the customers.

Since his commission percentage was only 1%, the system awarded him 1 percent of what the system earned from the customers. Even for an exchange rate of one low soul stone to one superior Primal stone, Aakesh made fifty superior Primal stones by reaping the fruit of the system’s fruit and the adventurer’s hard work.

“…, so you can do as you wish in Panagea,” Aakesh concluded all the introduction of the three products he had in the store.

The new customer was already aware of the products since he had come here with a reference from a friend, who repaid the debt the friend owed to him by sharing the store’s address.

Since the newly arrived customer had just gotten out of his cultivation after several hundred years, the man had no idea about the popularity of a new store that had spawned only fifty years ago.

At first, the man was red in anger with his friend for repaying his debt by sharing an address of a store in the extreme southern part of the Anga continent. The man even thought that the friend was mocking him, but after he had heard about the store’s products, he only had a shocked reaction.

The man couldn’t just trust the words of his friend, so before leaving toward the store, the man had warned his friend about the consequences if he were to be wrong. The reason for the man’s threat was that he believed his friend didn’t want to repay the favor he owed, so the friend was mocking him.

After hearing the same product and their introductions, the man started believing in what his friend had shared with him.

For the cultivators who liked nothing but growing more and more powerful, there was nothing worth more than training, so the man first chose a Gods & Demons level training area for an Overlord-grade weapon.

“Thank you, store owner,” The man thanked Aakesh as the payment of one million supreme Primal stones got deducted from the supreme card the man had just bought after Aakesh accepted the sale.

Aakesh only nodded in response to the man’s thanks.

The man didn’t mind Aakesh’s bland response and proceeded toward the weapons room.

A/N: Sorry, there would only be one chapter today. Meeting with family members in the village took all day, so I have only written this now. I will proofread this chapter tomorrow, and if I found something I could add or take back, I would do it.

Sorry, once again! Thanks for all the support you have given to this book from the start. Have a great night/day!
