794 Approaching the End(9)
Chapter 794: Approaching the End(9)
In around a year, Aakesh believed the store would complete the last requirement of the sale of one million Immortal-grade cultivation arts.
After he ascended, the store would still continue to operate and serve customers in the Primal dimension. Since Jonnah was the store’s assistant, he would have to handle everything.
Jonnah was already capable of handling the store, but the customers would only grow with time.
“Hey, system, what would happen to the Panagea quest after my ascension?” Aakesh asked the system since he couldn’t help but wonder about it.
[Host, the quest would continue to run. If the streak continued without interruption, the store would receive the reward, and if it failed for even a day at this stage, the punishment would occur.]
“Will the series of quests continue?” Aakesh nodded since the answer was on the expected lines and asked another one of his doubts.
[Yes, Host! The series would continue!]
[Even after you ascended, you would continue to get quests related to the store in the Primal dimension.]
The system answered and then shared a new piece of information with him.
Aakesh couldn’t help but frown when he heard what the system said later since continuing to have quests related to the store in the Primal dimension after his ascension wasn’t something unexpected for Aakesh. The store couldn’t just stop with only four products for as long as it existed. And to add products, there were bound to be missions for that.
It was just that Aakesh had expected that the new products would be added to the store here as an extra bonus for Aakesh completing missions in the Sacred dimension.
But now it seemed that the quest would activate for both the stores, and Aakesh would have to complete them separately.
“Will I be able to connect with the store in the Primal dimension after my ascension?” Aakesh asked as this question rang in his head after contemplating the system’s information.
[Yes, Host! You will be able to contact the store here, but there will be conditions for that!]
Aakesh nodded and stopped thinking about the future since there was no point until he ascended.
Aakesh still remembered the idea of setting his inheritance. According to what Aakesh had decided, it was today when he would do it.
A century ago, Aakesh had suddenly decided to set his wealth inheritance for the inhabitants here, and Aakesh had set the date when he would only be left with one more requirement before the completion of the set.
Time flew by, and a few hours had passed.
‘Finally!’ Aakesh thought in his heart as the store finally completed the condition of selling one trillion weapons.
For every sale, whether it was from cards or cash, Aakesh got the alert. Since the number of transactions was monstrous, Aakesh ignored it.
But today, Aakesh had other plans. Early in the morning, he checked his quest and found that he was only around a few hundred weapons away from achieving the weapons requirement. So from that moment, Aakesh had been counting every successful weapon sale alert he got in his head.
And now, the number finally reached the mark. Aakesh wasn’t one to make mistakes, but he still couldn’t help himself from checking it out.
Aakesh then called the quest screen for the second time in the day, and soon it appeared in front of him.
[….,
Weapons Sale: 1,000,000,000,000/1,000,000,000,000,
…,]
Seeing the mark on the quest’s progress screen, Aakesh nodded in appreciation. He then waved his hands, and the next moment, it disappeared, waiting for Aakesh to call it back once again.
“Hey, store owner,” Aakesh was going to begin another of his relaxation session when he heard a familiar voice approaching him.
Aakesh turned around in the voice’s direction and found Elasha approaching him.
“How are you, store owner?” Elasha asked Aakesh in a casual tone.
Being a store customer for more than a millennia had made even Elasha treat Aakesh casually from respectfully, like Evelyn. She was the only one in her family to do so. Lenna used to do that earlier, but after that event hundreds of years ago, even she began to treat Aakesh respectfully.
Aakesh didn’t mind the casual tone since he didn’t care about it in the first place.
Aakesh only nodded in response to her informal question. He then waited for Elasha to state her purpose for coming here.
“Store owner, I am thinking of ascending tomorrow. What do you think?” Elasha didn’t let Aakesh wait for long and stated her purpose.
In the past hundred years, around ten of the store customers had ascended. As a result of these ascensions, the store became even more mighty and mysterious in others’ eyes.
All the customers that have ascended were successful, and one of them even was able to pass thirteen rounds of destruction and reformation in the third stage of the Primal tribulation.
“If you are ready to ascend, then ascend,” Aakesh expressionlessly responded.
Aakesh didn’t like telling people what to do when it had no benefit for him, but since Elasha was one of the oldest store customers, Aakesh responded with a bland answer.
“I am ready, and even my intuition says that I should do it.
At the same time, I also don’t want to miss Panagea and the Gods & Demons level training area,” Elasha honestly stated.
“There is no point in the training area and Panagea if the cultivator doesn’t grow in strength,” Aakesh stated in response. He told the truth since he already knew many customers who were not ascending because they didn’t want to miss Panagea.
Aakesh didn’t care about what others were doing, so he didn’t lower himself and told the customers to ascend when they had already reached the limit of the Primal dimension. But since Elasha came to him and asked, Aakesh truthfully told her.
It was evident that the store helped cultivators grow stronger beyond their imaginations, but everyone had a limit to which they could develop. Elasha was one of them. She was already a peak Immortal when she had come to the store, and now she had already reached her peak strength in the Primal dimension.
If she wanted to grow further, she needed to ascend. There was no point in her wasting time here.
