The First Store System

1008 A New Face!



Chapter 1008: A New Face!

After Weiver left, Aakesh closed his eyes since there were no new customers in sight.

Time flew by, and soon two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

The crowd waiting for their turn to arrive in Panagea grew to more than ninety, falling only two short of filling the spots for both the second and third groups.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Aakesh was relaxing in his chair when he heard the sound of footsteps coming from the outside. He opened his eyes, looked in that direction, and found an unfamiliar face entering the store. It was a demon, but not someone from any of the Vurron groups.

***

The Teranas controlled six cities in the Fawkes Kingdom, just one more than the Vurrons. Unlike the Vurrons, the Teranas weren’t divided into five groups; a single family controlled all the cities.

Trish was the daughter of the current head of the family as well as the leader of one of the six cities under Teranas.

Since the city controlled by Trish bordered the cities controlled by Vurrons, it was somewhat typical for her to travel there and see the growth there.

As it was one of Trish’s travels, she came to Thorr City, and similarly, she came to Seventeenth Street.

When she came here, the most popular topic of conversation she came across was the non-demon man and his store. Even though it was the notoriety that made the store owner famous, there were so many versions of stories that even Trish became interested in checking it out for herself, so she was here.

When Trish reached the store, she also noticed the abnormality of not being able to see or hear anything going on inside the store. But since Trish was aware of such arrays, she didn’t focus much on it and stepped inside.

The next moment, the view in front of her changed, and the store’s insides presented itself. Trish’s eyes shone in astonishment as she felt the novelty of the store.

Like other customers, her eyes also fell on the floor. Trish couldn’t help but grow confused as when she saw the floor, she found the material to be familiar but couldn’t put her fingers on its actual name.

Trish tried for some time, but when she repeatedly failed to recognize it, she gave up on it and instead focused on the store owner in front of her.

The Teranas were blue creatures similar to Aakesh, but their body shapes were different. It was a humanoid creature, but Teranas had three pairs of eyes and three pairs of hands while having only a single pair of legs.

Each of the six eyes had eyebrows, and instead of hair, there was a crystal-like substance there.

A red glow appeared on Trish’s blue cheeks when she saw Aakesh looking directly at her. She couldn’t help but turn her head down as her heart began to beat quicker and louder.

Trish took a deep breath, as she didn’t expect to lose her calm just by seeing someone’s face, and soon she calmed down.

Her cheeks were still red, but now things weren’t so abnormal that she couldn’t even directly look at Aakesh’s face.

***

Aakesh noticed the sudden strange reaction of the new face, but since it wasn’t the first time he had faced such things, he didn’t care much.

***

“Hello, store owner!” Trish finally succeeded in saying a greeting without stuttering.

Aakesh nodded in response to her greetings and then waited for her to ask the question.

Time flew by, and Trish finally asked the question about the store’s products.

“The store currently sells five products in total. They are pills, weapons, cultivation arts, beasts, and Panagea.”

“In the pills, the store only has the Lesser and Higher grade available…”

“… in the store,” Aakesh concluded the introduction of all five products sold by the store.

After Aakesh began the introduction, the majority of Trish’s concentration was on his face, but as time passed, she finally focused on the store’s products.

Trish’s cultivation was at the peak of the Divine Lord, like all the city lords, so the store had the required products. Like most customers, Trish’s first question after the introduction was about Panagea.

Aakesh then answered all of her questions, clearing up any confusion she had about Panagea, and finally informed her about the Panagea queue. The least she needed to wait for was nine hours if she wanted to enter Panagea.

Since Trish had nothing important to do in the meantime, she decided to reserve one of the last two spots available in the third group.

After reserving the spot, she turned her attention to other products. Every item sold by the store was suitable for her cultivation, so she didn’t need to feel disappointed over the store not having the product.

Trish already had a weapon, and since she was satisfied with it, it was the first item she crossed off the list. The training area was a great place to start, but before that, she heard about a rare pill.

“Store owner, give me three third-grade higher spirit enhancement pills,” Trish requested.

“You need to pay seventy-five ordinary Sacred stones,” Aakesh expressionlessly announced the price and pushed the pills toward her. Trish had already taken the amount, so she moved the stones toward him.

Aakesh waved his hands, and the next moment, the stones disappeared from the store and appeared in the system space.

[Host, the amount is correct!]

“Your sale is complete,” Aakesh announced after hearing the system’s alert.

Spirit enhancement pills were rare and expensive due to the rarity of the materials used in them, so Trish first decided to buy them.

In the race of Teranas, Trish had the highest hope of becoming a True God, surpassing every ancestor of the race, so her status was extremely significant. Trish’s talent also didn’t disappoint the family, as she was already a peak Divine Lord.

The primary blockade stopping her from crossing the threshold was her soul, so spirit enhancement pills were important to her.

Trish didn’t directly eat them but waited to leave the store first. She then focused on other store products.
