Chapter 1250: The Second Store Upgrade Quest!
Unaware of the scenes going on with Hartol, Aakesh focused on the alerts bombarding his head.
[Ding!]
[Host, congratulations on fulfilling the requirement for activating the second store upgrade quest!]
[Host, please see the following screen for the quest!]
Aakesh remembered that the last time he had talked with the system about the second store upgrade quest, the system had informed him that he was close to completing the condition.
Since the quest was activated right after the appearance of the fourth collective quest, it wouldn't take a genius to know what the condition was.
The next moment, a blue, opaque screen popped out in front of him. Lily and Khaval, who had not shown much interest in what was going on in the store, also became alert and focused on the screen that was now visible to them after Aakesh willed it.
The two of them knew how much Aakesh was interested in knowing his past, and since completing the store upgrade quest was the only way to raise his authority and ask the system, they were also excited by it.
The next moment, golden fonts started to appear slowly on the screen. In no time, the quest had fully emerged, and Aakesh focused on it.
[Mission Sequence: Second
Mission Objective: Upgrade of the store to Level 3
Requirement: After achieving the requirement set by the system for you, you have unlocked the second store upgrading quest. The store upgrading mission would not only help you increase your authority, but it would also unlock new functions for the store,
Mission Detail: Host, the store's name is 'The First Store'. As its name suggests, the goal of the store is to become the first store for every living being, irrespective of their situation. How could the store prove itself better than by changing the destiny of the customer and showing the benefits of the store to the world?
Select one Divine Transformation level customer present in Thorr City and make them the ruler of a Kingdom without using your authority as the store owner but only with the help of the store's products
Duration: Thirty years,
Mission Reward: Upgrade of Authority, an Assistant,...etc.
Failure Punishment: None.]
The second store upgrade quest was on similar lines to what the first mission wanted from him, but there was a difference in the requirements.
During the first quest, he had to choose one of the top merchant families of the Sacred Dimension and then make them the exclusive customer of the store, persuading them to give up on their merchant business.
Aakesh had succeeded in that quest by making the Gupta family give up on their second-ranked merchant organization, and they became the customers of the store.
The second quest, meanwhile, wanted him to choose an individual and then make that person the ruler of a Kingdom. Aakesh had avoided playing in games of conquering since he found it not worth his time.
Even though the quest clearly stated that he needed to do it without using his authority as the store owner, and it could mean only one thing, he couldn't let it be known to others. But still, it was an indirect way of delving into battles for territory.
Unlike the last time, Aakesh had a limited amount of time to do that. He needed to choose a Divine Transformation cultivator and then make him a True God level cultivator in thirty years. There was also the condition of choosing a customer from Thorr City, so it also limited the talent of the users.
There weren't many in Thorr City who were talented and still at Divine Transformation level, and of those who were at that level, the majority of them wouldn't be able to reach True God, the level to become a King, in thirty years.
But when Aakesh saw the reward 'upgrade of authority', he found any difficulty worth that.
"Hey, system, can I choose Ransh?" Aakesh suddenly asked the system.
Aakesh had gifted Ransh and his friends element stones, which enhanced their talents, and since they were only in their middle twenties, they were still at the Divine Transformation level.
Ransh hadn't come to the store for a long time since she was in a competition to make Aakesh acknowledge him and make him his student with that girl.
[No, Host!]
[You have enhanced his talent using an outside product.]
The system responded in an expected manner. If Aakesh could choose Ransh, the quest would become extremely easy. With Aakesh's help, Ransh would be able to maximize his talent and forget thirty years; even twenty would be enough for him to reach the True God level and start his Kingdom.
Since Aakesh could only choose from the customers, Aakesh decided to see the talent of the customers over the next month. There was no restriction on the race of the customers, so Aakesh's option pool was significant.
"Hey, system, can I monetarily help the customer?" Aakesh asked since the quest said no such thing.
[No, Host!]
Aakesh then asked a few more questions, and when he was satisfied and fully understood the quest, he waved his hands. The next moment, the mission screen disappeared, waiting for him to call it back.
Aakesh decided to make his plans on how to help the customer after selecting one.
"Let's go!" Aakesh announced.
The next moment, he, Lily, and Khaval disappeared from the store's hall and appeared in the selection area.
Lily and Khaval went toward their respective race training, and once they had left, Aakesh closed his senses and went to the weapon section.
Not long after, Aakesh found himself in familiar surroundings with a small blue screen popping out in front of him. Aakesh activated all his senses, and the view of the weapon emerged before him.
He would be battling his opponents today with a sword. Aakesh then tapped on the blue screen, selecting the option of starting the first battle.
The next moment, the screen disappeared while the arena presented itself. Aakesh looked ahead and found his opponent staring at him.
