Chapter 1167: The Sixth Product(21)

Aakesh looked at the square box in the center of the room, and soon its details appeared in his head.

Summoning was only the first step in buying the beasts from the store. The customer needed to approach the store owner to complete the following steps.

At first, things were fine, but now that the product had become popular, the number of customers had grown exponentially.

It was not possible for Aakesh to initiate the taming process for everyone, so the square box was there to deal with that.

After getting the beast of their liking, the customer would place their card in the compartment on the square box and would place their hand on the hand compartment. The hand compartment had a size manipulation array, so irrespective of the hand size, the customer's hands would fit the hand section.

The square box would then initiate the taming battle. Once the customer succeeded, the display on the box would light up, showing the content of the contract.

After that, those customers who had cards would be able to pay directly without approaching the store owner, with the exception of ultimate quality beasts, where only Aakesh would complete the transaction.

In case of failure in the taming battle, a new compartment would open, and the customer would have to pay the summoning cost and the one percent fine. It was for those who didn't have cards.

Aakesh nodded in appreciation since the square box lightened his workload.

Aakesh then focused on the two pillars. They looked the same as ever, with only one difference marking the two.

The Beast Summoning Pillar related to the beasts varying between Divine Transformation and Divine Lord, had a '1' pattern in golden colors. Similarly, the other pillar had '2' engraved in golden colors, marking the difference between the two.

Aakesh then stepped forward and proceeded toward the second pillar since he already knew everything about the first device.

When Aakesh reached the pillar, he found a black screen with similar nine sections. The next moment, a blue screen appeared in front of him, detailing the new ability the pillar had unlocked.

The first pillar had an additional ability to hatch beast eggs, and the second pillar added another ability related to the beasts, and it was a much-needed one. It was the healing.

From now on, the customers could bring their injured beasts to the store, and they would be healed. The ability was only for the beast sold by the store.

It didn't matter what kind of injury; the pillar would heal the beast in no time. Unfortunately, it didn't work for dead beasts.

The cost for the treatment wasn't fixed since the store couldn't treat lightly injured beasts or severely injured beasts at identical prices.

At the same time, the hatching ability had also opened up for beast eggs up to Supreme God cultivations.

For eggs with cultivations between early and peak Lesser Gods, the hatching would cost a sum of fifty supreme Sacred stones.

For eggs with cultivations between early and peak Divine Being, the hatching would cost a sum of five hundred supreme Sacred stones.

For eggs with cultivations between early and peak Divine Lord, the hatching would cost a sum of ten thousand supreme Sacred stones.

The hatching ability was associated with the columns, so it only went to the highest level of beasts available for sale. The cost of hatching seemed nothing in comparison to the cost of the beasts sold by the store as even an ultimate quality Divine Transformation beast went for hundred to thousands of supreme Sacred stones, and the hatching cost for a Supreme God beast was ten thousand supreme stones.

But since the cost to hatch was lower, the time to hatch had grown. Depending on the beast, the hatching could take place anywhere between instantly to a year. The system understood that keeping high prices for hatching would become short of unnecessary for the store as that way, the customer would rather go for beasts from the store and not splurge a lot of money on hatching the beasts.

What added even more to the ability was that the hatching would work on dead eggs as well on the condition that the embryo had died for less than one thousand years.

Since hatching was an ability, the system didn't want to keep it only as an adornment. Aakesh also understood that, so he didn't ask the system about the cost disparity.

Aakesh then focused on the summoning attribute of the pillar since it was the most important; the other abilities were around it.

The quality levels were the same as ever, and the cost of the beast similarly depended on them. It grew exponentially as the quality grew.

"Activate the Device!" Aakesh called out since the screen was black.

After Aakesh's command, the screen on the column lightened up, and soon fonts began to appear on it, introducing the device. The introduction was familiar to Aakesh since he had seen it last time as well.

After the introduction ended, each of the nine partitions on the screen had one beast appear on them, and after a regular interval of one minute, the beasts on the screen would change into another.

Aakesh then tapped the button beneath the screen, choosing the random summoning system. The next moment, the square screen started to rotate and the process continued for five seconds, and a new beast appeared on the screen.

After the arrival of the second pillar, the rotation time of the first pillar had dropped to three seconds, making it quicker for the customers.

Not long after the beast appeared on the screen, a card formed out of nowhere and flew into his hands.

Aakesh had recognized the beast as soon as he saw it on the screen, so there was nothing that was out of his expectation.

The last time, Aakesh had tried the summon after the product's activation, he had gotten a lesser quality beast. His luck seemed to have gotten better from the last time, but not much as the beast was of ordinary quality.

Aakesh only smiled and then placed the card in the return compartment. The next moment, the card disappeared from the pillar, and the beast returned to the space inside the pillar.
