Chapter 322: Reward
"You're three supreme Primal stones short of your total bill," Aakesh expressionlessly responded. The next moment, the mountain that had disappeared a moment earlier reappeared in the store.
Hearing Aakesh, Chris didn't know what to feel or speak for a moment.
"Here, Chris, take it," One of Chris's friends nudged him and gave him three supreme Primal stones.
A wry smile appeared on Chris's face. He, who didn't feel shame a minute earlier when he asked Aaron for money, felt shame this time. But he didn't refuse as he needed it.
For shame, he wasn't going to go back after making a contract with Aaron.
Chris thanked his friends and requested Aakesh to check the amount.
Aakesh nodded and waved his hands. The next moment, the mountain disappeared from the store for the second time.
[Host, the amount is complete!]
After getting the alert from the system, he told Chris to go ahead. He didn't forget to inform him of the entering process.
"Thank you, store owner," Chris thanked Aakesh, but his thanks contained no sincerity.
Aakesh didn't care about it. He didn't even respond.
Chris then thanked Aaron and the friend that had helped him at the last minute. After thanking both of them, Chris finally went to the training area.
Aaron had a great interest in Panagea, but unfortunately for him, all the spots in Panagea had gotten filled for the day.
The only option that was left for him was the training area, but unlike Chris, he neither needed to face a battle in the upcoming days nor did he has any interest in it.
If there were a training area that could improve his divination, then he would've gotten an interest in it.
But since he had come here with Chris, Aaron couldn't leave the store alone. He needed to wait.
So to pass the next hour, he decided to spend that time in the training area. Since he didn't have much interest in combat, he only decided to train at the easiest level.
Time flew by, and one hour passed.
The customers in the weapon room were busy either seeing the weapons or testing their strength in the center slab.
There were also several customers who had golden light surrounding their physical bodies.
Suddenly, one of the golden barriers near the sword pillar dissolved as the person's consciousness returned to their body.
It was none other than Chris, who had gotten forced out from the training area after his single hour of training was over.
As usual, the system transferred Chris to an isolated space, and only after his energy had calmed down did the system bring him back to the store while he completely stayed unaware of it.
The previous hint of nervousness was nowhere to be seen on his face. Confidence and clarity took the place of that.
Previously, he directly entered the training area without even trying to take a look at the surroundings since he was eager to enter.
Now that he had finally gotten confidence after training for a thousand hours, he looked at his surroundings.
As he looked at the murals, his eyes fell upon the murals painted on the walls.
Even though he felt that there was something unusual about the murals, unfortunately for him, it only stayed as a feeling, and nothing materialized from it.
Chris was only looking around when another golden barrier dissolved, and Aaron's consciousness returned to his body.
Since Aaron had only chosen the easiest level of training, it didn't show any effect on someone like him. So the system did not need to transfer him to an isolated space.
Aaron was a bow user, and the sword pillar was next to the bow pillar, so Aaron noticed Chris looking at the murals across the walls.
"Did it help you?" Aaron asked Chris.
Chris, who had been looking around the murals, heard Aaron and stopped looking at the murals.
"Yes, it helped me a lot," Chris slightly turned, looked at Aaron, and responded.
Chris didn't explain how much he had gained from the training area.

Time flew by, and hours passed.
The six hours of the first group of customers in Panagea was over, so the system forced them out.
Aakesh then told the second group of customers to take their turns and enter the Panagea.
Maria was also in the first group, so she was also forced out by the system.
After exiting Panagea, Maria appeared in the portal room. She then left the room and approached Aakesh, who was telling the second group of customers to enter the room.
"Hello, senior," Maria greeted Aakesh.
Aakesh nodded in response to her greetings. The next moment, a transparent card appeared in his right hand.
"Here's your reward," Aakesh expressionlessly said as he handed her the card.
"Thank you, senior," Maria respectfully thanked Aakesh and gently took the card.
She then looked at the card in her hands, and the next moment, a shocked look appeared on her face.
[Skill name: Wings of Flight,
Level: Level 1,
Maximum level: Level 3,
Ability: At Level 1, it allows the owner to fly for thirty minutes*,
Cooldown: 5 minutes,
*- The flight duration can vary due to the weather.]
The skill was a support skill, but it allowed the owner to fly. In the current situation, this skill could completely change the dynamics.
"Thank you, senior," Maria respectfully and sincerely thanked Aakesh for the card.
"No need to thank me," Aakesh expressionlessly responded.
Maria then, without waiting, thought of the skill. The next moment, the card dissolved in her hands.
Not even a second had passed when a new blue screen appeared, asking her whether she wanted to retain the skill in the real world.
"Eh!" Maria exclaimed in surprise.
She needed to pay a whopping 100 supreme Primal stones to take it out in reality, but its details had also changed.
Unlike the thirty minutes in Panagea, in Visteerna, the skill only allowed her to fly for only ten minutes, while the cooldown had also increased to one hour, unlike the five minutes in Panagea.
Maria didn't have that many stones, so she had to let go of the blue screen.
The next moment, the blue screen dissipated into nothingness.
"Thank you, senior," Maria thanked Aakesh again.
Aakesh didn't respond and gestured for Maria to leave the store.
Maria had already gotten used to this, so she bowed and left the store.
