Zhou Wen looked around and realized that there were two rows of lockers nearby. There were at least forty to fifty of them.
Ignoring the fact that Zhou Wen didn't know if the ten-digit number on the name card was the locker's password, even if it was the locker's password, he didn't know which locker it was.
Ouyang Lan held the string of keys and said, "In the past, Uncle Qin would place the store's spare key in this locker. When my father comes, if he isn't around, he can take the key and directly enter to see the Companion Beasts and Companion Eggs. I never expected Uncle Qin to still maintain this habit after so many years. Even the password hasn't changed."
"Would the former principal use a fixed locker when he came in the past?" Zhou Wen asked casually.
"Of course. The lockers here are all old-fashioned safes. They aren't the popular public lockers nowadays. As long as the password is set, apart from the person who set the password, even Uncle Qin himself can't open it. Therefore, not everyone can use the storage boxes here. Those who can use the storage boxes here are usually very familiar customers, or Uncle Qin's friends. "
As Ouyang Lan spoke, she walked to a locker numbered 42 and said with great nostalgia, "This locker is the one my father uses every time he comes."
Zhou Wen's gaze immediately landed on the storage box as he thought to himself, Could that string of numbers be the password to Storage Locker 42?
While Zhou Wen was still pondering over it, Ouyang Lan had already extended her finger and tapped on the password lock a few times. Locker 42 was opened.
Ouyang Lan had pressed a total of six numbers. Only then did Zhou Wen realize that the passwords here weren't all ten-digit. It was likely set by everyone according to their own habits.
Locker 42 was filled with miscellaneous items such as white gloves and masks.
Ouyang Lan took out a pair of gloves and a mask and handed them to Zhou Wen. "Wear it. Although most Companion Eggs and Companion Beasts aren't afraid of being contaminated, there are some exceptions. This is also my father's habit."
Zhou Wen silently took the gloves and mask and put them on. Ouyang Lan also wore a set before leading Zhou Wen to the elevator and down to basement one.
"The top three floors are filled with all kinds of dimensional crystals and materials. From basement 1 to basement 4 are all kinds of Companion Beasts and Companion Eggs. Most of them are at the Legendary stage." As Ouyang Lan spoke, the two of them had already arrived at basement 1.
Zhou Wen immediately saw many glass cages placed in the hall of basement one. Inside were all sorts of Companion Beasts that he had either heard of or never heard of.
"These Companion Beasts were placed here by their owners. It's not easy to buy these Companion Beasts because their owners have to pay a huge price to transfer them. Therefore, the transfer fee is much higher than buying a Companion Egg of the same level." Ouyang Lan was very knowledgeable. She introduced the various Companion Beasts they could see in detail, allowing Zhou Wen to broaden his horizons.
When he arrived at the Companion Egg area, there were clearly more of them. Rows of Companion Eggs were placed inside the strengthened glass barriers. Their colors, sizes, and shapes were all different, like resplendent gems.
Beside every Companion Egg was a sign with some information about the Companion Egg written on it. Some even had a portrait of the Companion Egg after it hatched.
"Little Wen, what do you think of this Butterfly Fairy Companion Egg … This Ice Moon Fox doesn't seem bad either …" Ouyang Lan seemed to be enjoying herself as she kept asking for Zhou Wen's opinion.
"As long as it's from you, I believe An Jing will be very happy when she receives it," Zhou Wen said.
"That's right, but I still wish to give her something that she will truly like from the bottom of her heart. You are all young people, so your aesthetic standards are quite similar. Give me more advice," Ouyang Lan said as she picked a Companion Egg.
Zhou Wen didn't say anything else as he thought to himself, I'm a man. My aesthetic standards are naturally different from women's. I'm afraid An Jing won't like the Companion Egg I choose.
However, Ouyang Lan kept asking for his opinion, so Zhou Wen couldn't remain silent. After some hesitation, he asked, "Sis Lan, can I take pictures of the Companion Eggs here?"
"Others can't, but it's naturally not a problem for you. Feel free to take pictures. I'll take you down later. There are still Epic Companion Beasts there. Take a few more pictures. If you encounter them in a dimensional zone in the future, you will be able to recognize them in time." Ouyang Lan even pointed out some of the more important Companion Eggs for Zhou Wen to take a few more pictures.
Zhou Wen took out his mysterious phone and pretended to take pictures. He took a picture of the Companion Eggs and immediately saw their information and data.
Zhou Wen wasn't afraid of being captured by the surveillance cameras because he had already tried many times using modern tools like a cell phone or a camera. There was no way to capture the scene on the mysterious phone's screen. All that was captured was a blurry screen. He couldn't see anything.
In terms of aesthetics, Zhou Wen really couldn't give any advice. However, with the mysterious phone's ability, he could give Ouyang Lan some suggestions on the Companion Egg's attributes.
"From the looks of it, I still feel that Butterfly Fairy and Ice Moon Fox are the most suitable for my Little Jing. Little Wen, what do you think?" Ouyang Lan finally locked onto Butterfly Fairy and Ice Moon Fox, but she was somewhat hesitant. She couldn't decide which one to choose.
"You can buy both of them," Zhou Wen said.
With Ouyang Lan's wealth, buying two Legendary Companion Eggs was a drop in the ocean. There was no need for her to be conflicted.
However, Zhou Wen had used the mysterious phone to look at the two Companion Eggs. Their attributes were very ordinary.
Ouyang Lan shook her head and said, "One gift can only show my sincerity. Two gifts won't be beautiful. It will make Little Jing feel that I'm being perfunctory."
Zhou Wen was somewhat envious of An Jing. He had lost his mother when he was young, and his father wasn't someone who was good at taking care of children. Therefore, no one had ever celebrated his birthday for him, much less a birthday present.
Ouyang Lan's meticulous and considerate treatment of An Jing made Zhou Wen suddenly think that if his mother hadn't died from a difficult birth, she would probably love him as much as Ouyang Lan loved An Jing.
However, this thought was fleeting. Zhou Wen was already used to living alone. If he really had a mother like Ouyang Lan, he might not be used to it.
"Little Wen, what do you think? There's no need to be bound by my choice. If it were you, which Companion Egg would you want? "Ouyang Lan asked again.
"If it were me, I would probably want that Venomous Caterpillar Companion Egg," Zhou Wen said as he pointed at a pitch-black Companion Egg the size of a pigeon egg.
"Are you serious?" Ouyang Lan looked at Zhou Wen in surprise.
Venomous Caterpillar wasn't a powerful Companion Beast. Although it was at the Legendary stage, Venomous Caterpillar's various attributes were relatively poor. The talent skill it possessed was also very useless.
