The First Store System

Chapter 571: Changes with the Time(2)

[Ding!]

[Host, congratulations on completing your last mission objective! Please see the quest screen for your new quest.]

Aakesh was about to close the door of the store, announcing another end to the day for the store when he heard a mechanical and emotionless notification ringing in his head.

The next moment, a blue window containing all the details of the new quest appeared in front of him.

Aakesh was already prepared for this since it didn't happen for the first time in all these years he had spent here.

Aakesh decided to check the quest first and then complete his today's training since it would only take a few moments of his time. Aakesh then focused on the blue screen and began reading his new quest.

[Mission objective: Add the number of virtual portals,

Requirement: As a result of the annual events and your popularity over these years, the Panagea has become an increasingly popular product throughout the planet Visteerna and many major parts of the Primal dimension. So much so that only in the starting few hours after the opening of the store: all the virtual portal slots get taken for the day. There has been an addition of 100,000,000 more virtual portals, but to ensure such kind of craze for Panagea continues and grows with more and more customers joining it; the store owner needs to have 1,500,000,000 hours of entry time every day into Panagea for fifty years straight,

Mission reward: 1,000,000,000 new virtual portals,

Failure punishment: Removal of one virtual portal every minute if the number of years exceeds 55. If it exceeded 60 years, the decreasing rate would grow to five portals. If it exceeded 75 years, the rate would increase to 10 virtual portals every minute. If it exceeded 100 years, the decreasing rate would grow to 25 per minute.]

Aakesh nodded as he read the quest details on the screen floating in front of him.

Just this moment, Aakesh had completed the quest of having one hundred and fifty million virtual hours every day for thirty years straight, which in turn had rewarded him with an additional one hundred million virtual portals in the store.

The number of virtual portals in the store had already grown to more than one hundred and eleven million, maintaining its hold over the rank of most valuable of the three products sold by the store.

The quest's difficulty and reward both had grown tenfold, so Aakesh didn't mind the challenge. Aakesh ignored it when he reached the failure punishment section. Aakesh couldn't be any more confident of achieving any goal set by the system when it came to Panagea. It was always needed more, no matter what its number reached in the store.

Aakesh then waved his hands. The next moment, the light particles started moving away from the screen, resulting in its disappearance.

Even though it had been fifty years, Aakesh still looked the same as if the time did not affect him whatsoever. His hair was of the same height, his body had a similar build as he had in the past, and his skin maintained the same tone it had after the breakthrough.

"Did you get another quest?" Right at that time, a childlike voice rang in the store, the source being Aakesh's head.

"Yes, the quest related to Panagea," Aakesh smilingly answered as he finally closed the store's door, ending another day in the store's fruitful life.

When Aakesh was closing the door, he could see several people still waiting outside the door, but since Aakesh never changed his rules, he ignored them and closed the door.

"Let's go," Aakesh told Lily, and the next moment, they disappeared from the store.

The next moment, both Aakesh and Lily appeared in the selection area.

Lily then selected her usual training area, and soon a portal appeared and sucked her in without giving her even a chance to fight back.

Aakesh then turned to his left, picked up the weapon of his choice, a Bow, then turned to his right, selected the environment, and pressed the switch.

The next moment, a portal appeared and released a suction force mightier than anything Aakesh could fight back.

The next moment, Aakesh disappeared from the selection area and appeared in the training environment he had chosen.

Time flew by.

The selection area saw another round of movement as a portal appeared, and Aakesh stepped out of it.

Since Lily wasn't here yet, Aakesh sat down as his chair automatically appeared and waited for Lily to arrive.

Time flew by.

Suddenly a portal appeared in the selection area, breaking the silence that pervaded there, and soon Lily stepped out of it.

Another chair automatically appeared as Lily sat on it.

"So, what did you learn today?" Aakesh asked Lily as it was now time for them to share the experiences Lily had in Panagea and the training and how Aakesh spent his day today in the store and the training here.

Time flew by.

The silence pervading the store finally got broken as out of nowhere, the duo of Aakesh and Lily appeared in the store.

Lily, as usual, was seated on Aakesh's head after reducing her body size.

"See you tomorrow," Lily commented as she jumped down from Aakesh's head. Aakesh only smiled and didn't say anything.

The next moment, a door appeared in the store, floating in the air. Not long after, stairs connecting the door to the floor appeared.

Lily stepped up the stairs, opened the door, entered the room, and continued her journey in the Panagea after entering the only virtual portal present in the room.

The door automatically closed, and not long after, both the door and the stair disappeared.

After Lily left, Aakesh also turned in the direction of the portal room. As usual, the introduction to the world of Panagea welcomed him on the board put up at the entry point of the room.

Aakesh entered the room, and what welcomed him was a world filled with nothing but countless Virtual portals.

Each virtual portal took a few meters of space, and there was also a gap of a few meters between the portals from the front, sides, or back, so the room alone spanned over more than a billion meters, larger than many planets spread across the Primal dimension.
