The First Store System

After several deep breaths, Lin Ren finally calmed himself down, only to get shocked once again after seeing a large number of people in the queue in front of the chair while the blue-skinned store owner was seated on it and was busy selling the page.

Lin Ren then looked around him as in the queue, he could count the number of people to be reaching several ten thousand, but from the space of the building he had seen from the outside, it was impossible. Lin Ren wanted to check whether there was a space array here which went unnoticed by him, but no matter how much he looked, he found nothing.

Lin Ren Tao was related to space, and after it got upgraded, its relationship with space was like a finger’s relation with the brain.

But here, Lin Ren felt nothing of such sort from the space. He sensed that the space was ordinary and that what he saw from his eyes was false. So Lin Ren decided to take one more peek at the queue, and when he found out that what he saw was the truth, the shock and the danger level for the store rose in his heart.

This time, he stood frozen for around a minute and only came back to reality when someone nudged him from behind.

“Papa, what are you doing here?” Lin Mei, who had just exited the portal room, asked her father with a look of surprise on her face. She had told her father about the store since the first day she appeared here, but Lin Mei thought that it wouldn’t be too ethical to tell her father about the store products from her mouth and not the store owner, so she maintained the mysteriousness of the store and its products.

Hearing his daughter’s voice broke Lin Ren out of his shock and thoughts. A smile appeared on his face, but Lin Mei could see while he himself could feel that it was fake.

“I decided to check the store after listening so much about this place from your mouth since I had gotten some free time,” Lin Ren replied.

Lin Mei couldn’t help but raise her eyes as she knew her father was lying. There was zero probability of a situation where the Emperor of the Xirin Empire could get some free time.

Lin Ren knew that his daughter had caught his lie, but he maintained the facade and refused to share any other reason.

“Are you leaving?” He then asked, trying to make Lin Mei stop thinking about his lie.

“Yes, my task for the day has gotten completed,” Lin Mei smilingly replied. Thinking about Panagea and its difficult tasks actually made Lin Mei stop thinking about her father’s lie.

“Now, can you introduce me to the store?” Lin Ren suddenly asked as now that he was here and there was a large queue waiting in front of the store owner; he decided to ask his daughter for the introduction.

“No, you can join the queue and learn about the store and its products when your turn arrives,” Lin Mei bluntly replied, and then without waiting for her father to respond, she kissed his cheeks and then teleported from the store, using her supreme card.

Lin Ren could only get dumbfounded at the whole situation. He then took a deep breath and joined the queue. Since he had now come here, there was no point in leaving without learning about the store and meeting with the store owner.

Time flew by, and several minutes passed.

The queue filled with tens of thousands of people turned into a crowd of hundreds of thousands, but Lin Ren had nothing to do with it since his turn finally arrived. He found himself standing in front of the blue-skinned store owner, seated comfortably on his chair.

Even though Lin Ren already knew that the store owner wasn’t a Human, he still couldn’t help but feel a sense of disappointment in his heart when he came face to face with the store owner and felt his boundless power. Lin Ren couldn’t help but think of the situation if the store owner belonged to the Human race and how another Arjuna would be here to take the race to the peak of the Primal dimension.

Aakesh had an expressionless face as he came across another customer. This time it was a new customer, so Aakesh waited for the man to ask his questions.

But instead of asking, the man instead fell into his own thinking, and an aura of disappointment surrounded him. Aakesh could see through the thought of the man, but he didn’t feel a little bit interested in it, so he only looked toward the man.

Suddenly an uncomfortable feeling rose in his heart, and it made Lin Ren’s blood cold, breaking him out of his thinking process.

As soon as he came out of it, he met the eyes of the mysterious blue-skinned store owner. Lin Ren was confident that the store owner had everything to do with the strange dangerous feeling engulfing his heart.

The feeling disappeared as quickly as it had come, but Lin Ren would never forget it since it was the first occurrence when he knew for certain he was going to die.

Lin Ren then took a deep breath to push that feeling onto the back of his mind. He was now standing in front of the store owner, and could also see a crowd even larger than before waiting for their turn to arrive, so he knew he didn’t have all day with him.

“Hello, store owner! I am Lin Ren,” Lin Ren greeted Aakesh with a slight bow and then introduced himself. At first, Lin Ren wanted to use his Emperor title, but after sensing the overwhelming power gap between him and the store owner, he stopped himself from doing it.

Lin Ren could sense the cultivation level of the store owner, and it was only around late Tao Seed, a level higher than his daughter, but Lin Ren was confident that it was a lie.
