The Omnistore System

In Lucima City, purple hair was a rare and distinguishing feature, often marking an individual as a member of one of the city’s most influential cultivation families. Today, Kevin was set to meet Dina Benvar, the elder of the illustrious Benvar family, a friend of Viana’s, and someone Keith had mentioned as having a particular interest in him. The Benvar family held a significant amount of power and prestige in Lucima City, and Dina was no exception.

As Kevin approached the meeting place, he spotted her almost immediately. Dina stood out not just because of her unique hair color but also due to the aura of authority and grace she exuded. Her purple hair cascaded in soft waves down her back, a striking contrast to the dark green satin dress she wore. The dress hugged her figure elegantly, enhancing her refined appearance. Her luscious lips were plump but slightly narrow, perfectly complementing her slightly chubby cheeks that softened her otherwise sharp features. Her eyes, the same captivating shade as her hair, sparkled with a mix of intelligence and allure.

Dina’s earrings, large and ornate, dangled from her ears, catching the light and drawing attention to her graceful neck. As Kevin drew closer, he couldn’t help but admire the way she carried herself with such poise and confidence. Her presence was commanding, yet inviting, making it clear why she was held in such high regard within her family and the broader community.

Kevin knew Dina’s reputation; she was as loose as Viana. He didn’t let her outward elegance influence his behavior. With a neutral smile, he greeted her, “It’s nice to see you again, Elder Dina,” and gave a slight bow.

Dina’s smile widened as she extended her hand. “It’s good to see you too, Kevin. Please, have a seat.”

Kevin briefly shook her hand, noting the softness of her skin, and then sat across from her. The café they were in was quiet, with only a few other patrons scattered around. As he settled in, Dina continued, “And don’t bother with this ‘elder’ bullshit. Just call me Dina. ‘Elder’ makes me sound like an old hag.”

Kevin chuckled softly at Dina’s remark. “Alright, Dina,” he said, relaxing a bit. “Thanks for meeting with me.”

Dina leaned forward slightly, her eyes locking onto Kevin’s with an intensity that was hard to ignore. “Of course, why not? Especially for a newcomer who is rising through the ranks with such rapid speed. I’ve heard your store has gained quite a bit of popularity in just the last few days.”

Kevin acknowledged her words with a nod, but his modesty showed as he shook his head and took a sip of the liquor he had already ordered. “It’s just a temporary boom because of the new inventory I managed to get. As soon as it’s gone, I expect things will go back to how they were before,” he explained.

He paused, considering the challenges and opportunities ahead. He knew he had to be proactive to keep the momentum going. After dealing with some immediate issues, his plan was to look for ways to replenish his store’s inventory, either with the products he was already selling or by introducing something new that could attract even more customers.

“It’s still quite a leap from your previous position,” Dina remarked as she took a sip of her drink.

Kevin nodded. “Luck was on my side. I managed to get to the den before others.”

“That’s true, but not everyone who goes there makes it out alive. Some lose their lives in pursuit of riches,” Dina said, reminding him of the cultivators who had perished chasing wealth.

Kevin took a moment to reflect on Dina’s words, acknowledging the truth in them. “You’re right, Dina. It’s a dangerous path, and many have paid the ultimate price. I guess I was fortunate to come out unscathed.”

Dina’s eyes sparkled with a hint of admiration. “Fortune favors the bold, Kevin. You’ve shown a lot of courage and resourcefulness. It’s no wonder you’re making waves.”

Kevin nodded, steering the conversation away from the topic. “So, why aren’t you at the Den? I thought the Benvar family would be quite eager to get there.”

Dina leaned back, sipping her drink with a smile. “We did send some members there recently, just before you came back, including my dear niece Samira, who I suppose you know quite well.”

Kevin was surprised by the sudden mention of Samira. He hadn’t told Dina yet, as he planned to ask her about Samira’s whereabouts. Now that Dina had clarified she was in Chernbog’s Den, he just smiled and said, “So that’s why I couldn’t contact her.” Setting his drink down on the table, he continued, “She’s your niece, huh?”

Dina nodded, setting her drink on the table. “Yes, she’s my brother’s daughter. She’s talented for a normal cultivator but considered average in our family. She has a sharp mind, but unfortunately, that alone doesn’t help much in advancing one’s cultivation. In families like ours, resources are often reserved for the exceptionally talented, leaving the average ones to struggle. Samira was one of those who received minimal support. Despite her intelligence, she was stuck at a plateau, making little progress.”

Dina paused, her eyes reflecting a mix of pride and frustration. “However, that all changed suddenly. Her cultivation has skyrocketed since then. She’s now in the mid-level of her Qi Condensation phase, a stage she just started last year.”

Kevin wasn’t sure why Dina was bringing this up, so he smiled and said, “Good for the Benvar family, they found a hidden gem.”

“Yes, it’s good for us, but the question is how she improved so quickly, and only after meeting you.” Dina leaned forward with an amused smile and, in a low but audible tone, asked, “Tell me, are you two fucking each other?”

Kevin looked at her amused smile and couldn’t help but chuckle. “So that’s why you brought her up? Here I was thinking it was something else.”
