Chapter 622
Chapter 622: Conversation!
“Hey, system, don’t you think a quest with a duration of around two thousand years shouldn’t deserve the title, ‘The Last Main Quest’,” Aakesh suddenly asked the system.
The system had added that it was now time for him to leave and begin a new journey in the Sacred dimension, but the quest duration was 100,000 weeks, which was way more than the amount of time he and the store had spent in Kakot.
The next moment, the system’s usual mechanical and emotionless response rang inside Aakesh’s head. It stated the same reaction as it did: the details of the quests are random, only one thing is sure, and that is the grandness and the difficulty of the mission would increase with every successful completion.
Aakesh stopped asking about it as he was already aware of what he would get in the answer if he asked the system to show him the criteria of the quests. Aakesh instead decided to ask another question.
“Hey, system, the reward is my ascension if I completed the quest in less than 100,000 weeks, but what if I completed it in, let’s say, 10,000 weeks?”
Aakesh asked the question as the quest duration was around two millennia. And the system had only added one prize as the reward for completing it.
After Aakesh completed the last quest, the system rewarded him with a hundred million virtual portals. Taking the previous number of them, they had crossed the mark of two hundred million.
Aakesh already had a quest that required him to have a sale of 1.5 billion Panagea hours every day. And since Aakesh had been achieving it for the last several months, if this continued, the store would fulfill the requirement of one trillion Panagea hours in only a few years.
Similar to the Panagea case, an increment in the number of virtual portals in the store resulted in the growth of the number of customers, so the sale of other products would also grow with it.
[Host, there are no bonus rewards in the quest. Even if you completed it in one day, the prize would still be the same: you would ascend to the Sacred dimension with the store.]
The system’s response rang in Aakesh’s head.
Aakesh could only heave a disappointed sigh as he expected a bonus prize similar to the last quest to be present here. But since it wasn’t here, Aakesh stopped thinking about it. There was no point in wasting time over something non-existent.
“What would happen if I fail the store upgrading quest?” Aakesh suddenly asked as he should know what would happen in case of his failure.
You would be stuck at this level for several more years, and the store upgrading quest would become even more difficult. If you failed it again, you would face a penalty. If you failed three times, your level would get stuck permanently at Level 1.]
Time flew by.
After conversing with the system for some more time, Aakesh decided to stop thinking about the quest. He then returned to his usual schedule.
Aakesh had already spent quite a time over the quest which belonged to his training, so Aakesh decided to waste no more time and do the training for the day.
“It’s time for training,” Aakesh commented. Lily nodded in response. A distraught could be seen on her face. Even though she had lived for tens of thousands of years, she didn’t like training at all.
The next moment, Aakesh and Lily disappeared from the store’s hall and appeared in the selection area.
Lily chose her usual training area and pressed the switch. The next moment, a space crack emerged and sucked Lily inside.
After Lily left, Aakesh went to his left and picked up his weapon for the day. He then went to his right, selected the training environment, and pressed the switch.
The next moment, a similar space crack emerged and sucked in Aakesh without giving him even a chance to fight back if he wanted.
The next moment, a familiar arena welcomed Aakesh’s sight.
Aakesh had been doing a new weapon routine for the past few months. Every day he would select a different weapon and then battle with it.
Today, it was the turn of a Rapier, so Aakesh had it in his hands.
Unlike other weapons of Aakesh, the Rapier looked similar to what an ordinary Rapier looked like, but it was anything but an ordinary material.
The training environment Aakesh was in was also a random opponent battlefield. Every day Aakesh would face a random opponent with random descriptions while having a random weapon in his hands.
As soon as Aakesh appeared here, a blue window appeared in front of him.
[Which level do you want to fight in:
Level 1: Tap,
Level 2: Tap,
… Level 18: Tap.]
The opponent for every level would be the same, but their strength would increase, depending on the level Aakesh wanted to fight.
Aakesh had crossed seventeen levels when he had his sword, so if Aakesh wanted, he could directly battle out in the eighteenth level.
Aakesh then tapped on the first level since he had a new weapon and wanted to begin from the initial point.
The next moment, the blue window disintegrated into nothingness, and a blue light engulfed the entire area around Aakesh.
When the light disappeared, Aakesh’s opponent for the battle showed itself.
If Lily were here, she would have recognized the creature since it was one of the Epochal Felines she knew in her training.
Unlike the time when Epochal Feline was with Lily, it had cold and cruel eyes as if no emotion could warm the burning heart of the creature.
“Ding!”
A bell suddenly rang and announced the start of the battle.
Aakesh got ready to defend as the Epochal Feline was already in front of him.
Aakesh slightly bent down as the creature’s claws passed through where his head was a moment earlier. At the same time, Aakesh used this opportunity to attack as well.
“Puchi!”
A loud sound rang in the area as Rapier’s point pierced the creature’s skin as if it was made of butter.
The Epochal Feline didn’t die out straight away, and it started struggling to fight back. Its eyes turned red as its body expanded, resulting in Rapier’s point getting stuck.
