Chapter 35: First sale

After arriving at the city, Kevin wasted no time and dashed straight to the store. With all the enthusiasm of an over-caffeinated squirrel, he excitedly displayed the products he had collected from the misty mountains in the shiny glass jars provided by the system.

“Okay, system, show me the money! How much are these babies worth?” Kevin asked with a grin, rubbing his hands together like a mischievous mastermind about to unveil his cunning plan.

As he placed the first Irista flower petal into the jar, his smile turned into a comical frown. “500 units? Seriously? System, do you need glasses? These petals are worth at least 2000 units each!” He glanced around as if suspecting a hidden camera crew, ready to burst into laughter at the ridiculousness of it all.

[The host can raise the price to 50 percent of the original item, but the system will consider it as only 5 Omni tokens.]

“Do you really want me to be your eternal servant, system?” Kevin questioned, frustrated and bewildered by the system’s pricing choices. Unfortunately, the system remained silent, providing no answer to his exasperated inquiry.

With a sigh, Kevin continued to place the other items he had gathered in the jars. He had the chitin of the earth centipede, priced at 1 Omni token, and its glands, valued at 1.2 Omni tokens each. The other items, such as the eyes and wings of the forest moth, the disgusting caterpillar’s eyes, and brain, were all marked at 2 Omni tokens or below.

Finally, Kevin remembered the peculiar heart he had picked up, initially mistaking it for a human heart. To his surprise, the price tag on the heart read a staggering 100,000 Omni token, which translated to one million units for just a single heart.

But then his eyes widened with shock when he came across the enigmatic heart. “One million units for this thing? You’ve got to be kidding me! What’s it made of, gold and unicorn tears? It’s not even a human heart!” Kevin chuckled, wondering if he had stumbled upon a priceless artifact that the system had accidentally placed in his collection.

Kevin’s eyes lit up with excitement as he realized that the system’s one million price tag for the heart would fetch him a fortune if he sold it outside the system’s store.

[Item: Heart of Lunarhowl (Incomplete)

Price: 100,000 Omni tokens

Description: The Heart of Lunarhowl is a fragment of the heart once possessed by the legendary ruler, Lunarhowl, who once ruled over the vast fields of Miyar. His tale is one of cosmic romance and valor, as he waged war against formidable extraterrestrial beings eons ago, ultimately meeting his fate in the celestial battle. Despite its incompleteness, the peice still holds immense power, capable of bestowing upon its bearer profound abilities and cosmic insights. Consuming even a fragment of this heart is said to awaken dormant potential within the individual, enhancing their strength, wisdom, and connection to celestial energies. However, the true potential of the Heart of Lunarhowl can only be unlocked by reassembling its scattered pieces, a quest that has remained elusive for countless generations. Rumors abound that the completed heart grants the bearer the ability to transcend mortal limitations, harnessing the very essence of the moon and the stars.]๐š˜๐“ฅโ„ฏ๐‘ณ๐žxt.๐‚๐‘‚๐“‚

As Kevin read the description of the item, a mix of shock and excitement washed over him. The mention of celestial cosmic beings and the potential power it held captivated his imagination. The thought of consuming the heart and unlocking dormant abilities sent a surge of anticipation through his veins.

However, he found himself facing a dilemma. Should he consume the heart himself and embrace its potential, or should he sell it for a substantial sum? Consuming it would mean embarking on a quest to find the other scattered fragments, and he wasn’t sure how it might affect his dual cultivation technique. Would he turn into a wolf or something else entirely?

For now, he decided to leave that decision for the future. Carefully concealing the jar containing the Heart of Lunarhowl under the table, he set his mind to the present taskโ€”cleaning the shop. Dust had accumulated on the shelves during the days it remained closed, and Kevin got to work, all the while muttering curses at the system.

“Even with all its power, this system can’t manage a simple self-cleaning store,” he grumbled, swiping the dust away.

“Hey, is the store still open?” Kevin’s work was interrupted as a tired-looking man in his thirties entered the shop.

“Welcome to Omnistore, dear customer. We sell everything if we have it,” Kevin replied with a smile, putting away the cleaning cloth.

James, the curious customer, surveyed the seemingly empty store, but his eyes lit up when he saw a jar filled with Irista flower petals.

“Can you sell me those Irista flower petals?” James eagerly asked, eyeing the jar with excitement.

Kevin’s excitement grew as he got his first customer since opening the store, but a sudden realization dampened his mood. He needed to sell 100 of these petals to reach his target, but he couldn’t let that show. So, he maintained his smile and walked behind the counter.

“Of course, I can sell you those. The price for one petal is 750 units, dear customer,” Kevin replied confidently.

Internally, he grumbled, knowing that the system had limited him to only adding half of the original price, preventing him from setting a higher price.

James was dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe what he just heard. He asked again to confirm, and Kevin continued his act, pretending that the price was indeed reasonable.

“Yes, you heard me right. The price is only 750 units. Don’t worry, they are not defective or anything. We guarantee their quality,” Kevin assured him, keeping his professional smile intact.

James couldn’t believe his luck, as this price was already more than half of what others were selling the petals for. He hesitated but finally asked if he could check them personally.

“Of course, you can check, but you have to pay first,” Kevin warned.

James nodded, ready to report the teenager for fraud if the petals turned out to be fake. But if they were genuine, he didn’t mind paying the price. He placed his smartphone on the scanner built into the table to make the payment.

A notification from the system came in, and Kevin’s smile grew wider as he saw the tokens received.

[5 omni tokens received]

The extra went money went to Kevin’s own pocket, With a sense of satisfaction, Kevin picked up the jar, took out one white petal, and handed it to James.

Carefully, James received the petal, closing his eyes as if he was trying to sense its authenticity
