The First Store System

Chapter 625

Chapter 625: Panagea!

Time flew by.

One after another level, in the training environment, got cleared by Aakesh as he finally appeared in the selection area after killing the Tri-horn Rhinoceros for the seventh consecutive time.

As Aakesh appeared in the selection area, he found another space crack emerging.

Soon Lily stepped out of the space crack and joined Aakesh as he asked for his chair.

The duo then sat down on their respective chair and started discussing their experiences for the day.

Time flew by.

The duo left the selection area after their conversation came to an end, and the next moment, they appeared in the store’s hall.

“Are we also allowed to manipulate the time flow rate?” Lily suddenly asked as it was for customers, and they weren’t one.

A smile appeared on Aakesh’s face as he lightly tapped Lily’s head.

“How do you think the time flow rate changes in Panagea?” Aakesh asked Lily.

Lily had a confused expression on her face for a moment, but soon it turned into a pondering one, and then it turned into a surprised expression at the end.

“Do you mean that the entire Panagea would flow thrice the time of the Primal dimension?” Lily asked.

“Yes. The entire Panagea would flow thrice the time flow rate of the Primal dimension,” Aakesh nodded and smilingly answered as he gently rubbed Lily’s head, which was just an inch shorter than him.

“Then how would you charge customers?” Lily couldn’t help but ask since the store had a limit of six hours per day of sale. If every customer could enter Panagea for six hours every day, wouldn’t that mean everyone would stay for eighteen hours a day in Panagea?

“I know what you’re thinking. The six hours had always been Panagea hours, so they would still be able to buy six Panagea hours. But that would only be two hours in the Primal dimension, unlike the previous situation where they spent six hours,” Aakesh smilingly answered.

Lily’s eyes shined since if customers who couldn’t afford the higher time flow rate only stayed for two hours, wouldn’t that help the store get even more customers, and the sale would also increase. Since Aakesh was a store owner, Lily also paid great interest to it.

Aakesh couldn’t help but laugh as he could guess what Lily was thinking after seeing her shining eyes.

“Let’s go. If you can stay for more hours in Panagea due to the increased time flow rate, that also means that you’ll be out for more hours,” Aakesh suddenly stated.

Lily, who was basking in the excitement of increased sales and hours in Panagea, couldn’t help but freeze as in her excitement, she had forgotten this point.

Since Aakesh had only received his reward around an hour earlier, only three hours had passed in Panagea, but still, it was a lot of time to waste.

The next moment, the floating door appeared in the store, and soon the stair connecting it to the floor emerged after Lily summoned it.

Lily then stepped on the stairs and left for her personal virtual portal, while Aakesh only smiled, seeing Lily in such haste after his statement.

When Lily had just reached the door, she turned around, said bye to Aakesh, and then left. The door of Aakesh’s room then automatically closed on its own with a bang.

Aakesh’s face turned expressionless as usual as he turned in the direction of the portal room and proceeded forward.

As usual, Aakesh’s eyes fell on the leaderboard section after entering the portal room.

A look of surprise appeared on his face as he finally noticed a change in the top fifty ranks after several years.

Punta, the brother of the King of the Bisan Kingdom, had stepped into the top fifty for the first time after reaching Level 163. He became the top-ranked member of the Bisan Kingdom in Panagea.

Aakesh then moved his eyes away since there wasn’t another surprise for him to see on the leaderboard.

Aakesh’s eyes then fell on the number of virtual portals. At first, he only saw a thousand of them, but as he peered further, the vast number of the virtual portals appeared in Aakesh’s sight.

Aakesh then touched the nearest virtual portal with only the tip of his finger. The next moment, a suction force mightier than anything he could fight against appeared and sucked him inside.

The next moment, Aakesh appeared in the place he had exited Panagea a day before to open the store.

Since Aakesh could stay for around twenty-four hours a day in Panagea now, he could give more time to his class to evolve.

Aakesh had gotten his Legendary class when he was around Level 50. Now he was Level 232, yet his class was still Legendary with not even close to evolving to Mythical grade.

Having an increased time flow rate had its advantages and disadvantages at the same time. Now Aakesh could enjoy twenty-four hours a day in Panagea, but at the same time, he would stay out of Panagea for forty-eight hours.

Similarly, the time would pass quickly, resulting in the story flowing faster than anticipated. But the system and Aakesh didn’t worry about it. The story of Panagea needed a long number of years since the strength of the main enemy was at the peak of the three dimensions. It would take a long time for adventurers in Panagea to reach Level 500, let alone become a Choas-grade lifeform and fight Vritrasura.

Aakesh then stopped thinking about it. He then decided his timetable for the day.

Since he had twenty-four hours, Aakesh decided to give twelve hours to his class, while for the rest twelve hours, Aakesh would do quests or go on a killing spree to earn XPs.

Since Aakesh was currently near a big city inside the Dark Forest, Aakesh decided to spend the twelve hours in class first.

Aakesh didn’t waste any time after making his decision. He left for the city straight away.

Time flew by.

After reaching the market, Aakesh activated the skill Universal Eye and the Fortune Eye to find a suitable candidate that could give him good rewards.

More time flew by.

No matter how long, time reaches everyone. The twenty-four hours finally came to an end as the sun rose in Visteerna.
