The First Store System



Chapter 1325: Selecting the Candidate(12)

It was an easy decision, and Phily decided to summon a beast from the first pillar. Phily wasn't in immediate need of a powerful helper, and he also couldn't afford a True God beast, so he made his decision considering that.

There was a long line in front of the first pillar, and Phily also joined it. After a wait of around an hour, it was his turn. 

There were two systems of summoning, and Phily chose targeted summoning, selecting the beasts of Divine Transformation level since it would be cheaper. As for the quality, it depended on his luck.

With a deep breath, he pressed the button. The next moment, the square light began to rotate.

Three seconds passed in a flash, and soon after that, a beast unfamiliar to him appeared on the screen.

Not long after, a card formed out of thin air and flew into his hands. He immediately focused on the content, and the next moment, his eyes almost flew out of their sockets in shock.

Use it wisely, and watch your opponents fall before the might of the Golden Square Tortoise. 

Price: Seventy-four thousand, nine hundred ninety-nine supreme Sacred stones.]

The upper half of the card contained an illustration of the beast. The Golden Square Tortoise was a gigantic, majestic, and awe-inspiring creature. Its enormous form was covered in a layer of pure gold, shimmering under the sun's rays and emitting a radiant aura. The golden hue around its shell was vibrant.

Its square shell was intricately patterned with geometric designs, resembling the characteristics of rare gemstones. The edges of the shell were adorned with sharp and gleaming spikes made of solid metal.

The beast's head was adorned with a crown-like crest of golden spikes, emphasizing its status as a royal member of its race. Its eyes were a deep and penetrating shade of gray, reflecting its intelligence and the ancient knowledge it possessed. Its strong and muscular limbs were also plated with golden armor, giving it a fearsome and imposing presence.

Phily never expected his luck to also explode like that. From what he heard from the store owner, an ultimate quality beast at the Divine Transformation level would be able to easily reach Higher God, and if there were sufficient resources, it would touch even the Supreme God level.

Phily was a cultivator who had been stuck at the intermediate True God level for hundreds of thousands of years with no breakthrough in sight, so how could someone like him summon a beast capable of reaching the Supreme God level?

Even then, Phily easily calmed down. Even though it seemed an impossible task, in front of his 91 percent compatibility with [Relenteless Shield], the latter seemed nothing.

When Phily calmed down, a wave of disappointment engulfed his heart.

"Sometimes, excessive luck can also disappoint," Phily couldn't help but mumble under his breath.

His fortune allowed him to summon an ultimate quality beast, but his financial capability made sure that even if he were to sell everything he owned, including his Kingdom, he wouldn't be able to afford even one percent of the total cost of the beast.

Phily was only feeling disappointed over the price of the beast when he suddenly sensed a new piece of information appearing in his head. For some reason, Phily immediately accepted it as normal and didn't think of it as a weird situation.

The information was about the beast on the card. A moment earlier, the Golden Square Tortoise was an unfamiliar beast to him, but suddenly, he knew the beast as if he always knew it, and the earlier situation was abnormal.

After learning about the beast, the disappointment in Phily's heart grew further as the Golden Square Tortoise was the royal race of all tortoise species in the Sacred Dimension, while there were evolved forms of the beast in the Primordial Dimension as well.

Since there was no way for Phily to afford the beast, he went to the return compartment and placed the card there. He then returned to the device and pressed the button again, hoping to get a suitable beast.
