The First Store System

Since the spots in Panagea had gotten filled and there were more than five hours left before the third group’s entry into Panagea, the girl decided to enjoy the training area during this time.

“Oh, look, I forgot to introduce myself,” The girl suddenly exclaimed in surprise as she was getting ready to proceed toward the weapons room.

“Store owner, I am Shi Liang! What’s your name?” The girl told Aakesh her name and then asked Aakesh to do the same.

“I am Aakesh,” Aakesh expressionlessly responded and ignored the hand Shi Liang had extended for a handshake.

Shi Liang pouted after seeing Aakesh ignoring her hands, but she soon took them back without making any scene. Her brother had already told her about the store owner’s eccentric behavior. The weird behavior would be Aakesh extending his hands in response, not the opposite.

“My brother is Shi Guo. It was he who told me about the store,” Shi Liang then told Aakesh about her brother.

Aakesh only expressionlessly nodded in response to Shi Liang. He remembered who Shi Guo was, but he had no interest in talking about him. Words were nothing but most valuable when it came to Aakesh.

Shi Liang then left for the training area since Aakesh seemed to have no interest in anything other than the store.

Unlike other wealthy customers, Shi Liang decided against the Gods & Demons level training area, but she instead chose the difficult level training area.

Her reason for that was that there was a limit of one hour a year or a month, respectively, when it came to the Gods & Demons level training area or the Immortal level training area. The other four lower levels had no such limit, so Shi Liang could spend the next five hours in the training area, and when she would get done with it, she wouldn’t have to wait for long to enter the Panagea.

Considering her thoughts, Shi Liang went to the weapons room. Since the card owners didn’t have to ask the store owner to enter the training area except for the Immortal and the Gods & Demons level training area, Shi Liang didn’t do it.

Time flew by.

The six-hour stay of the second group in Panagea was also over, so the system forced them out one by one, depending on their entry sequence.

When all the spots in the virtual portals had gotten vacant, Aakesh told the third group to leave for their group entry into the Panagea.

Aakesh then asked for the quest screen related to the Panagea. When he saw that the daily quota of achieving 1.5 billion Panagea hours every day had gotten done for the day and his streak hadn’t broken down, Aakesh nodded and then made the screen disappear.

There were no customers left in the hall, and only Aakesh was sitting on his chair since no other group was left for their entry into Panagea.

After sending the third group to the Panagea, Aakesh closed his eyes and began another of his relaxation session. After that, a round of silence permeated every corner of the store.

Time flew by, and around twenty minutes had passed.

Suddenly the silence in the store broke down, as out of nowhere, a closed door appeared in the air inside the store, and not long after, stairs connecting it to the floor emerged.

Not long after, a clicking sound rang in the store as the door opened, and soon, a furry creature the size of Aakesh stepped down the stairs.

“Hey, system, give me my chair,” A childlike voice filled with majesty rang in the store as Lily asked the system for the chair.

When it came to asking for something from the system, Aakesh’s tone was like a request. Lily, on the other hand, ordered. Lily believed Aakesh to be the only person who deserved her and the Multiverse’s respect. She didn’t even put Devas into her eyes.

The system didn’t mind Lily’s tone since it had no emotions of its own to feel shame, humiliation, or any other negative emotion. The next moment, light particles started gathering, starting from the floor. In no time, a chair similar to what Aakesh sat on but an inch shorter appeared not far from Aakesh’s chair.

Lily was currently going through her teen phase, so she had stopped sitting on Aakesh’s head. She now sat on a chair whenever she exited Panagea, but every time her chair would be an inch shorter than Aakesh’s chair, and her size would also be an inch shorter than Aakesh’s height.

Aakesh could only smile as he had already gotten used to this side of Lily.

“You should hear what happened today in Aakeshville,” Lily spoke as she sat on her chair.

Aakeshville was the name of the territory Lily had won in the Panagea. Aakesh had tried to make Lily change the name, but she was adamant about having that name. In fact, when Aakesh told Lily to name the land Lilyville since she was the ruler, at that time, Lily had made a puking face as if she was disgusted by that name. Since Lily refused, Aakesh gave up on trying and could only smile whenever he heard that name from Lily’s mouth.

“What happened?” Aakesh smilingly asked, but anyone could see that his lips were twitching. Even though it has already been several months since Lily named the territory such, Aakesh still felt it unnatural and a puke-worthy name.

“The King asked for my army again,” Lily responded with her tone containing anger. Since Lily had vowed loyalty to the throne after she conquered the land, the King had been demanding her army every week for his expeditions.

Lily had learned everything from Aakesh, so her knowledge was no less than any experienced general when it came to things related to war and strategies.

Lily’s army had been helping the King win his small expeditions, so his demand had been growing every day, and now he asked for Lily’s army every two days.

“Endure it,” Aakesh calmly told Lily. “What about those things?” Aakesh suddenly asked.

“It has been going well,” Lily responded in her childlike voice.

Lily had used her second wish to make Aakesh help her win the whole Kingdom. Now he was giving her points that would bring nobles of the Kingdoms to her side rather than the King.
