The First Store System

“Who are you?” Brinda asked Lin Ren with a calm face.

“No need to feel caut-”

Lin Ren wanted to tell the King not to be cautious, but the words got stuck in his throat after seeing the calm look on her face.

The next moment, the smile returned to Lin Ren’s face as he responded, “I just came here to see the wonder a fellow Human has created.”

Brinda, who was calm due to the badge’s effect, couldn’t help but look at the stranger in surprise. She could sense that if they were to battle, she wouldn’t survive without the badge, but at the same time, she felt nothing but sincerity from the man’s statement.

“What do you mean by a fellow Human?” Brinda then asked as even families don’t stay families when it comes to the throne. So how could one person be gratified to see another person of its race at the top?

Lin Ren couldn’t help but smile wryly as such was their race. Their characters were filled with treachery and greed.

“Have you heard of the Xirin Empire?” Lin Ren suddenly asked as if the King knew it; it would be easier to make her understand the context of what Lin Ren wanted to tell.

Brinda nodded straight away. At the same time, a look of surprise appeared on her face since she understood the context of what the stranger wanted to say.

“Ar…are you the Emp…emp…emperor?” Brinda asked as her voice stuttered. If not for the badge acting, she wouldn’t have been able to say the word ‘Emperor’.

Earlier, Brinda didn’t know about the Xirin Empire and its history, but when her conquest began, she started learning the history of her race, humans.

How could she not feel pride when learning that once a Human stood at the peak of the Primal dimension with several other top races being in the competition?

Like the majority of Humans, she also had respect for the Empire in her heart. If not for the Empire, humanity wouldn’t even have become a mid-tier race in the Primal dimension.

“Yes, I am the one hundred million, seven sixty-six thousand, nine hundred and eighty-sixth Emperor, Emperor Lin Ren of the Xirin Empire,” Lin Ren introduced himself. His tone was modest every time, but this time there was a slight hint of pride in his voice since, for the countless years of the Empire’s existence and the countless members of the Human race, he also had his name in the history of humankind.

“I greet you, Emperor Lin Ren,” Brinda slightly bowed and greeted the man. At first, she was going to bow to her waist, but then she remembered that she was also a ruler and couldn’t bend in front of anyone but her people.

“I am King Brinda, the King of the Bisan Kingdom,” Brinda then introduced herself and the kingdom. She wanted to sound prideful, but how could the badge let that happen and harm the dignity of the King? So her tone remained calm all the time.

“It’s my pleasure to stand in front of a human King,” Lin Ren responded with the same gesture. His head slightly bowed, showing respect to a King from an Emperor.

Time flew by.

Lin Ren left the royal palace after a short conversation with Brinda. From the moment he arrived and left, only two things were aware of his presence, Brinda and the badge.

Lin Ren left the palace with an unspeakable curiosity about the store since Brinda sincerely shared about the store with the Emperor. Brinda knew that the store owner wanted customers, so she will, from time to time, try to promote the store to those who had never visited it.

It didn’t take any time for Lin Ren to arrive in front of the store from the royal palace since that kind of distance was nothing for cultivators of his level.

Lin Ren directly wanted to teleport inside the store, but he listened to the warning of King Brinda and didn’t do it. But he instead teleported only a few inches outside the store in front of the door.

Lin Ren couldn’t help but look at the door in shock since the door was open, but he couldn’t see anything that was going on inside the store. There wasn’t also vision blackout but also hearing. Lin Ren heard nothing. It was as if he was standing in an empty place.

Lin Ren couldn’t help but raise the level of danger of the store in his heart as the door was no less than the mouth of a demon waiting to chew on him. Lin Ren felt his blood stopping flowing and his hair rising all over his body.

The reason Lin Ren felt such clear sensations from the store was due to the ring in his hands. It was one of the top two artifacts in the existence of the Primal dimension, but now it was in the top three since it failed to defeat the badge.

Lin Ren couldn’t help but have second thoughts about entering the store.

He stood there for a few seconds as if he had gotten frozen. The next moment, he took a deep breath and took a step forward since his daughter was a regular here. If it was dangerous, he needed to find out how before making any decision on his daughter.

As soon as Lin Ren’s foot landed on the floor, he found a different view in his sight.

Lin Ren found himself standing on a wooden floor, and as soon as his eyes landed on it, his jaw almost dropped to the ground, seeing the large quantities of Ashamba used in its making. At the same time, Lin Ren felt a pang in his heart since, with this much quantity of Ashamba, he could have several top-quality armors for him, his soldiers, and his descendants.

Lin Ren had to take another deep breath as it was a bigger shock than anything Lin Ren had ever gotten.

After taking several continuous deep breaths, Aakesh’s shocking heart finally calmed down, and a smiling face took shape.

His eyes then fell on the queue, and he couldn’t help but get shocked once again.
