The First Store System

Chapter 971: The Black-Spotted Demon(1)

"How did you make it?" The man asked Aakesh with a surprised face.

"You don't need to know that." Aakesh's face remained the same as ever, and he responded.

It wasn't the first time he'd come across this question, as many ardent pill makers had attempted to extract the recipe from the pills.

The man looked dumbfounded upon hearing the answer. It was expected, but still, after seeing the store owner's cultivation level, the man thought that the answer could be different.

While the store owner was an early Divine Transformation, his cultivation was the peak Divine Lord.

Even though there was a sense of extreme danger surrounding the store owner, the man didn't believe that the store owner would stay there all the time.

The man was Joshua, and he was from the Emperor race, as his species had an Empire of its own on planet Curiele, with the Emperor being a peak Higher God. His race was the Black-Spotted Demon. As its name suggested, the members of this race had black spots all over their bodies, while their skin tone was light red.

Joshua had only come here today, and he came across a customer with a Mind Expansion Pill, so he found out about the store. Since the pill's effect interested him, he wanted to pry out the recipe from the pill itself.

Unfortunately for him, every attempt failed, and the pill turned into ash.

The money he spent was nothing much, so he wasn't worried, but his continuous failure stumped him, so Joshua had no choice but to enter the store by himself.
Joshua was the youngest son of the Emperor, so he wasn't worried about the store or the store owner, as his father's teacher was from the VoidBorn race. So people always steered clear of Joshua, as his father was even more overbearing than Joshua.

It was Joshua's confidence in not being interested in the store owner's background, so he had decided to be overbearing when inside the store. Unfortunately for him, an extreme sense of foreboding attacked him when he thought of grabbing the blue-skinned store owner by his neck.

If Joshua had tried to learn about the store owner and the store, he must have learned that the store owner lived inside the store. So, the response wouldn't have been shocking for him.

"Why not?" Joshua didn't want to accept his failure, so he asked. His arrogance had hardened rather than softened.

Some people were born arrogant and didn't like others to say no to them; Joshua was one such being. So, hearing no from Aakesh made him more interested in knowing the answer.

"Do you want to know about the store's product? If not, you need to leave." Aakesh seemed disinterested in responding, so he stated.

Joshua was taken aback by the sudden bluntness, but only if he knew about the store owner. Joshua wanted to fly out in rage, but suddenly that sense of foreboding danger appeared again, warning him.

Joshua thought to leave, but the slight curiosity about the store's products stopped him.

"Go ahead, tell me," Joshua, not wanting to back down, replied, as if he were doing Aakesh a favor by knowing the store's products.

Fortunately for him, the customer's tone didn't matter much to Aakesh, so he then introduced all five products and their basic effects to Joshua in a single breath.

In the end, Joshua's face was weird as the products in the store stumped him.

"Can you explain Panagea and the Beast Summoner Device to me once again?" Joshua asked. This time, his tone had softened. There was still arrogance, but his tone wasn't as harsh as before.

"Panagea is a virtual world, where customers...,"

"Hatch the egg," Aakesh explained both products in detail.

"Can you hatch this egg as well?" Aakesh's explanation had only concluded when Joshua asked in anticipation as he took an egg out of his space ring.

Because the egg belonged to a creature from the Sacred Dimension, his inner world at the Divine Lord cultivation level couldn't hold it. So, Joshua had to keep the egg in his space ring.

Aakesh looked at the egg and nodded since it belonged to a creature of Divine Being level, and the hatching service was active for eggs up to peak Divine Lord level.

A wide smile spread across Joshua's face as he had been holding this egg for tens of thousands of years and had yet to succeed in hatching it.

The egg was his reward from the city's ruin, which he traveled to a long time ago. Since the ruin was high-level, Joshua had been trying to hatch it. Finally, his search came to an end while searching for something else.

The hatching of the egg demanded that the store owner personally take action, as only he could activate the hatching pad in the column.

Aakesh stood up from his chair and went toward the room while Joshua followed him with a tinge of anticipation and excitement in his voice.

There wasn't a limit to the number of eggs that could get stored in the hatching compartment, so Aakesh didn't have to take out the Chaos Whale's egg from the container.

Aakesh completed the process, and now they have to wait for thirty seconds.

Aakesh stood there silently. With every second that passed, the anticipation in Joshua's voice grew.

Ding!

These thirty seconds felt like a day to Joshua, but they finally passed, and a bell rang in the room.

The next moment, the hatch opened on its own, and inside was the egg that Aakesh had just placed.

The anticipation in Joshua's eyes turned to worry as the egg was still an egg.

Fortunately for him, Aakesh didn't let him stay worried for long, as Aakesh took out the egg and handed it to Joshua. What Aakesh said next made all Joshua's worries disappear.

"You need to feed the egg a single drop of your blood, and then the egg will hatch."

Joshua wasn't immediately on board with it because he believed that one drop of blood could be used to annihilate an entire race, let alone him if there was something dangerous in the egg. But for some reason, his intuition told him that there was nothing harmful about it.
