The First Store System

After Aakesh made his decision, he didn’t waste any more time and chose the ‘Upgrade for Panagea’.

The next moment, out of nowhere, a light emerged in the portal room and engulfed all the two hundred million plus virtual portals.

“WHAT!”

A cry filled with exclamation and surprise rang in the building next to Aakesh’s store.

Maria, Evelyn, George, and other team leaders were in discussion about their organization in Panagea and the upcoming annual event of the store when they found a new piece of information in their mind.

The group found the source of a new piece of information to be the supreme card they owned.

The members who didn’t own supreme cards looked in surprise toward their leaders, hearing them crying suddenly in shock.

Maria ignored the look of others as she looked at her deputy, Evelyn. The next moment, a smile erupted on her face as she noticed the same expression in Evelyn’s eyes.

They had just gotten the information that Panagea now had updates regarding its time flow rate.

Maria then found one thing common between her before discovering the store and the current her, who owned an organization, and was also the only person allowed to have a building in the range of a few thousand miles around the store. The previous her didn’t need to think about the update in Panagea similar to the current her. The only difference was the earlier her could only afford the same time flow rate, while the current her had enough wealth to stay in Panagea for centuries at three times the time flow rate.

“Eighteen hours of stay in Panagea!”

“Eighteen hours of stay in Panagea!”

Maria and Evelyn exclaimed at the same time as there was not even a point in thinking about other options.

“Calculate the cost required for every organization member to stay in Panagea for eighteen hours,” Maria then looked toward the treasurer of the organization and asked him.

The treasurer didn’t even take a moment to answer as he replied, “one hundred and eighty-three thousand top Primal stones, chief madam.”

The organization, Skylord, had three hundred and sixty-six members, which sounded way too small for an organization. But Maria refused to increase any more members since she wanted quality over quantity in Panagea.

Maria only nodded after hearing the treasurer and then made a decision for every member to enter Panagea for eighteen hours every day.

The organization would handle the cost for a month, and after that, the members would need to pay for it from their own pockets, without any stop.

Scenes like these were spread over all the Primal dimension as every owner of the supreme card got the alert of ‘Upgrade in Panagea’.

Aakesh, unaware of the storm the upgrade in Panagea had caused across the Primal dimension, asked the system for the last of his reward.

The next moment, Aakesh and lily found the view in front of them suddenly changed, as a giant roulette with countless products emerged.

Aakesh and Lily were nothing but an ant in presence of that roulette, and yet, Aakesh’s aura overpowered it, while Lily scoffed at the giant size of the roulette since it was her first time doing it.

The roulette looked much bigger than before, with an even higher amount of quantities to get from it. Aakesh decided not to waste any more time and spin the roulette, but before he could, his eyes fell on Lily, who was looking toward the roulette with a mixture of disdain and awe in her eyes.

“You do it,” Aakesh smilingly told Lily.

Lily, who was looking at the roulette, suddenly got surprised. She then looked toward Aakesh, who had a gentle smile on his face.

Lily didn’t say anything but only nodded her head.

The next moment, she pressed the switch, and soon the roulette started rotating.

As time passed, the rotating speed grew at an unimaginable rate. Finally, when it had reached the peak where nothing could be seen from naked eyes, its rate started slowing down.

One second passed, two seconds passed, three seconds passed, and soon when nine seconds had passed, the roulette finally stopped rotating and showed the new product the store would have from tomorrow.

The next moment, the roulette disappeared, and soon in place of it, a rectangular wooden box the size of a human appeared.

Before the box could crash on the floor, resulting in a loud sound, Aakesh grabbed it.

The box was plain from the outside, but since Aakesh already knew the product, there was not much suspense on his face.

Even though the box looked like a plank of ordinary wood, it was anything but that. Even if Aakesh used his entire current strength, he would be unable to make a scratch on the box. It was an actual item that could face tribulation as soon as it got outside of the store.

Aakesh needed to draw a pattern to open it, so without wasting much time, Aakesh using the wooden elemental energy drew the pattern.

“Click!”

Not long after, a clicking sound rang in the area, breaking the silence permeating the store.

The wooden box opened and soon it turned into a powder, and not long after, even the powder disintegrated into nothingness.

Only a key remained in Aakesh’s hands after the disappearance of the box.

The key was gold in color, with a bluish pattern on its top.

As soon as the key appeared in Aakesh’s hands, the lock which belonged to the key also started making a ruckus as if it had found the most significant thing in its life.

Aakesh took a step forward while Lily followed him.

Only after a step did the duo appear in front of the room where the lock was making the ruckus.

“Since you got this product based on your luck, open it,” Aakesh turned toward Lily and told her.

Similar to the earlier time, Lily didn’t refuse and took the key from Aakesh’s hands.

She then placed the key on the lock. At first, it didn’t move as the system only allowed Aakesh to do such things, but after Aakesh requested the system when Lily attempted again, the door opened with a bang.
