The First Store System

742 Third Day of the Event(2)

Chapter 742: Third Day of the Event(2)

Aakesh didn't force the attendees to stay silent before the start of the event, so the majority of the people were discussing with each other about the events.

"One more month, and I would be able to save enough to enter Panagea for an hour," One of the ordinary people in the crowd couldn't help but show off to his friend.

One hour of Panagea cost forty inferior Primal stones, which didn't sound a lot. But for people like him, it was valuable enough.

Ordinary people in the Bisan Kingdom traded in metal currencies, so even one inferior Primal stone was a large amount of wealth for them.

When the man's friends heard, his eyes turned red with envy.

"If not for the law & order in the Kingdom, I would have stolen that money from you," The friend couldn't help but respond with a jealous expression.

The man in question laughed after hearing his friend's response. He couldn't help but feel superior after seeing the look of jealousy in his friend's eyes.

The great law & order in the Bisan Kingdom was the reason that he shared that information with his friends in the first place.

After Brinda became King, the law enforcement in the Kingdom had gotten better. So much so that even higher-level cultivators didn't dare to break the law inside the Kingdom.

In other places, the killing of an ordinary person by a cultivator would mean nothing much, but not in the Bisan Kingdom.

Killing even an ordinary person would result in imprisonment of three hundred years at least, if not even more severe. Only Immortals were free from this rule since Immortals didn't attack mortals. Even their presence alone was to crush mortals into pulp, so how could they attack them?

Brinda was stern with law & order due to Aakesh and the store. She understood the fact that her Kingdom's fortune depended upon the store's presence in her territory.

As long as the store was here, her Kingdom would never die out. The territory in the Bisan Kingdom wasn't very valuable, so Brinda only had limited resources to make Aakesh stay here for eternity. Great law & order was only one of them, so she didn't want to give even a negligible reason to Aakesh for even thinking of moving out of the territory.

Many people were in engaging conversations with each other, only to stop when suddenly a door appeared midair, tens of meters above the platform.

Those who were attending the event for the first time looked at the door with curiosity, while the old timers returned to their conversations since they already knew about the door.

"You finally woke up," Aakesh smiled as he looked at Lily stepping down the stairs.

During the event, the time in Panagea would be completely frozen, so Aakesh called Lily out. For Lily, the time wouldn't even be equal to a blink of an eye since the time would stop, and then it would begin after the end of the event. The same wasn't for Aakesh, so he didn't let her stay inside Panagea.

Lily yawned and nodded. She then reduced her size to her birth size and jumped up on Aakesh's head, in her favorite spot.

Aakesh then looked at the crowd seated in the store and found that the number of attendees had already crossed the seven billion mark.

The time was still a few minutes away before the time of the event, so Aakesh closed his eyes.

Time flew by.

The decided time finally arrived, and Aakesh opened his eyes.

The people chattering with each other suddenly came to halt since all of them could sense the change of aura in the store. It included even ordinary people.

The next moment, all seven billion and more attendees focused on Aakesh with eager eyes.

Some had come here to participate, while the majority had come here to watch the fun. How could their expressions not be anything but excited and eager after feeling the change?

"It's time for the final event to begin," Aakesh expressionlessly announced the beginning of the main event.

The people in the crowd silently listened as Aakesh announced the competition.

A few minutes later, a virtual projection of a territory appeared on the platform. At the same time, the screen set for the crowd also lightened up and showed the projection.

The projection was of the territory that the winner of the upcoming event would win. It was the same as the third-ranked territory in the first event, with the same amount of opportunities and danger.

Some in the crowd had been attending the event from the first one, so they knew about the territory, and also remembered the small auction that had taken place after the conclusion of the first annual event.

At the same time, there were also many who had come to the store for the first time, so after announcing the reward, Aakesh introduced Panagea to the people.

After his introduction came to an end, Aakesh announced the price to participate in the event. It was one superior Primal stone, which had been constant for the last ten years.

Aakesh then asked the people who wanted to participate to raise their hands. In no time, more than two hundred million people raised their hands and announced their willingness to fight for the territory in Panagea.

Lily comfortably sitting on Aakesh's head, couldn't help but scoff after seeing so many people participating. Aakesh had barred her from participating in the competition, or she would have also been one of them.

Aakesh ignored Lily and waved his hands. The next moment, all the people who had raised their hands appeared on the stage.

Just from this lot, Aakesh had completed the quest of having two hundred million participants. Two hundred and forty-seven million people had raised their hands, so Aakesh earned that many superior stones from this lot.

It wasn't enough, but at the same time, Aakesh had no commission from this panagea event since the system had prepared everything. Aakesh was the only one to announce the beginning and reward.

All the participants then focused on Aakesh to learn how they would be competing this year to win the territory in Panagea.
