The First Store System

Chapter 962: Elle's Determination!

The butler and the guards nodded. Since the store was safer than even their houses, from what they could sense, there was no longer any need to protect William and Elle. The way of returning had become simple for them as they only needed to activate the teleport function and they would be in their houses.

The butler and the guards respectfully bowed to William and Elle first before paying respect to Aakesh.

The moment they turned on the card's teleport feature, a white light engulfed them. The light disappeared as quickly as it had arrived, and with it, seven of the nine people's group had also disappeared.

William and Elle then turned around and told Aakesh about their willingness to check on the beasts. As for Panagea, now that they owned store cards, they didn't need to tell Aakesh about it.

The duo only needed to think of it, and the system would deduct the cost, saving their spots for Panagea.

On the card, there was a beautiful yet terrifying beast illustration. It was a transparent creature with only the faint outline of its body visible. It had a long, slender body with venomous fangs and a pair of yellow eyes that seemed to glow in the darkness.

It was a Ghost Basilisk, one of the species of the snake group of beasts. They were enormous predators in their respective regions.



Since Elle showed more interest in beasts than William, she became the first to activate the summoning round. Her fortune was great since she was not only born into a top race but also into the top family of that race.

She was fortunate enough to receive a legendary beast on her first try, and that too from a predatory race well-known throughout the Sacred Dimension.

Even though the store owner had said that there would be chances of upgrading the quality of the beasts, Elle still wanted an ultimate quality beast for her. She could sense that things weren't as rosy as they looked on the outside.

If the store could upgrade the quality of the beasts in the future, wouldn't that mean a loss for those who would splurge large amounts of money on buying top-quality beasts? There must be some situation here. She would only find it once the product was here, so she needed to wait.

Even though the beast in her hand was great, especially with the skill "Illusionary Venom," which was an extremely rare illusionary skill in venomous species, she still decided to return it, as she would stop at nothing short of an ultimate quality beast.

Her wealth wasn't close to William's, but it was only less when compared to his.

Elle then placed the card in the compartment, and it disappeared immediately.

Elle then pressed the switch below the screen. On top of the screen, "1" appeared while the square light box began to rotate at an unprecedented speed.

Five seconds passed in no time as a beast appeared on the screen, and not long after, a card flew into her hands.

Elle had no change in her facial expressions as it was only a legendary quality beast. She then returned the card and pressed the switch for the third time. This round would cost her one ordinary Sacred stone. But since for her, there was no difference between ordinary and lesser stones, she didn't care.

Soon, five seconds passed, and finally, there was a change in the quality of the beast. Elle's face turned disappointed as there was a decrease in quality. The card in her hand referred to a supreme-quality Great Sphinx.

Elle didn't even spend time reading its details; she returned it.

The next round of summoning cost her ten ordinary stones; then it turned to a hundred, and soon it touched the thousand figure. Elle didn't care, as this amount meant nothing to her.

Finally, the cost of summoning touched one higher Sacred stone. Elle still had the same face as the new card flew into her hands.

A disappointed expression appeared on her face as the quality was still not ultimate but divine.

William stood next to Elle while he waited for her to summon the beast she wanted. At the same time, he was thinking of calling his other sisters here as well. He liked Elle more, but his feelings for the other sisters were still unconditional.

Time flew by, and finally, the cost of summoning touched ten thousand higher Sacred stones, more than the cost of many beasts.

Elle still had an uncaring face, as she had already vowed to stop at nothing till she got the ultimate quality beast. She looked at the screen, and soon, a card stating the illustration and the details of the beast flew into her hands.

Elle's eyes expanded violently as she looked at the card.

Quality: Ultimate

A/N: Today was mass release day, but I had forgotten about it (awkward face). I only remembered today because of the alarm.

Sorry! Let's fix a date in February for the mass release with a minimum of ten chapters! Comment, what date should we do it?
