Should I give it a try and see if that password can open the huge metal block beside the silver-haired Companion Beast? Zhou Wen couldn't help but think.
If it were in the past, Zhou Wen wouldn't have had a chance to approach the metal block, but it was different now. With the Invisibility Cloak, he should be able to avoid the various surveillance cameras in the shop and reach the metal block without anyone noticing.
Zhou Wen could have gone openly and even bought the silver-haired Companion Beast, but he had a nagging feeling that there was something wrong with Qin Xiyuan. He wasn't willing to let Qin Xiyuan know that he was interested in the metal block.
Ouyang Lan ultimately failed to take Ya 'er away and returned indignantly.
Zhou Wen considered for a while before deciding to head to Xiyuan's shop to take a look. Now that Ouyang Lan's investigation had reached a bottleneck, it was probably very difficult for her to make any progress. Perhaps the metal block that locked the silver-haired Companion Beast could give Zhou Wen new ideas.
After packing up and feeding the Companion Beasts that needed to be fed, Demonic Neonate began evolving again after eating a few Longevity Fruits.
I should be able to advance to the Epic stage this time, right? Zhou Wen was delighted. Demonic Neonate was one step closer to the Mythical stage.
However, looking at the number of Longevity Fruits he had left, he felt that they weren't enough to support Demonic Neonate's evolution again.
Thankfully, I still have Grim Demon's rations. If it really doesn't work, I can make up the numbers. Zhou Wen unsummoned the evolving Demonic Neonate.
Before she fully evolved, he didn't need to count on her combat strength.
Banana Fairy was still evolving. She had been evolving for quite some time. Based on the time, it seemed like she was about to advance to the Mythical stage.
After packing up his things, Zhou Wen set off for Qin Xiyuan's shop.
Zhou Wen didn't enter the shop directly. Instead, he went to a coffee shop near Xiyuan's shop. He ordered a cup of coffee and sat by the window. He planned on drinking coffee while using Truth Listener to scan Qin Xiyuan's shop.
This coffee shop was relatively close to Xiyuan's shop. Sitting here, Truth Listener's range could envelop the entire shop. He had to figure out the exact situation inside first.
"Sir, your coffee." The waiter served the coffee and politely placed it in front of Zhou Wen.
"Thank you." Zhou Wen's attention was focused on the Xiyuan shop, so he didn't pay attention to the situation here. When he heard the familiar voice, he looked up and couldn't help but be taken aback. The person who brought the coffee over was Gu Dian.
Zhou Wen subconsciously looked around. Indeed, it was as he had imagined. The coffee shop was deserted without any customers.
"Does the owner of this shop have a grudge against money? He actually hired Gu Dian as a waiter? Zhou Wen felt that the owner of the shop must have a screw loose.
"Gu Dian, why are you here?" Zhou Wen asked Gu Dian in puzzlement.
"Working for money," Gu Dian answered.
"Do you earn more working here than fighting dimensional creatures and selling Companion Eggs?" Zhou Wen was somewhat puzzled.
Gu Dian was considered a top figure in Sunset College. If he sold the Companion Eggs he obtained, his income was definitely not something the average person could compare with. Furthermore, he was only a waiter at a coffee shop. His salary wasn't much.
"Yes." There weren't many customers in the cafe, so Gu Dian didn't leave.
"No way! This coffee shop can give you such a high salary? "Zhou Wen found it unbelievable that a waiter could earn such a high salary.
Furthermore, this coffee shop didn't have much business, so it was impossible for it to offer a high salary.
"150,000 a month," Gu Dian answered.
"Pfft!" Zhou Wen spat out the mouthful of coffee he had just drunk. He widened his eyes at Gu Dian. "The boss here gives you 150,000 a month?"
Zhou Wen felt that the boss must be crazy. Otherwise, he had other motives. Otherwise, how could he give Gu Dian such a high salary?
Gu Dian nodded. Then, when he saw a customer enter, he said, "I'm going to work."
Zhou Wen watched Gu Dian walk over and politely said, "Welcome."
When the young couple saw Gu Dian, they seemed to be frightened. They immediately took two steps back and didn't even enter the door. They turned around and quickly walked away.
"I knew it. With Gu Dian around, how can business be good?" Zhou Wen couldn't figure out why the owner of this shop would hire Gu Dian.
After taking a sip of coffee, he found the taste pretty good. It was actually hand-ground coffee.
Unable to figure out the reason, Zhou Wen had no choice but to put it aside and begin scanning the Xiyuan shop.
Truth Listener's ability enveloped the vicinity of the Xiyuan shop. It was as though the shop had turned transparent. Zhou Wen could hear every corner of the building clearly.
To Zhou Wen's surprise, in the fourth basement, the floor where the silver-haired Companion Beast was located was enveloped by a mysterious force as though it was shrouded in a thick fog.
Zhou Wen raised Truth Listener's strength to its limits as the fourth level enveloped by the thick fog slowly became clear.
The various Companion Beasts imprisoned inside could also be seen clearly. Zhou Wen focused his attention on the room where the silver-haired Companion Beast was. Indeed, he saw the silver-haired Companion Beast sitting beside the huge metal block with its head lowered as though it had fallen asleep.
When Zhou Wen's attention landed on him, the silver-haired Companion Beast actually raised its head and clearly looked in Zhou Wen's direction. It was as though it was looking at Zhou Wen, leaving him alarmed.
He can see me? Or is it a coincidence? Zhou Wen frowned slightly.
Suddenly, the Companion Beast whose silver hair covered most of its face grinned at him. Then, its lips moved slightly as though it was saying something.
However, he didn't make a sound. However, from the shape of his mouth, he seemed to be saying: "I'll wait for you here."
Indeed, he can see me. Zhou Wen was somewhat alarmed.
After Truth Listener advanced to the Mythical stage, its abilities were already very powerful. Furthermore, its hearing was different from using its gaze to observe others. Its gaze was active. When it looked at others, it wasn't surprising that people with sharp senses could discover it.
However, Truth Listener's hearing was passive. It was only gathering information. The silver-haired Companion Beast was actually able to discover his location. This ability was a little too impressive.
What's the background of that silver-haired Companion Beast? Zhou Wen was puzzled as he hesitated about entering.
Now, Zhou Wen was somewhat worried. If the chain that bound the silver-haired Companion Beast was unlocked after entering the password, wouldn't he have done something foolish?
What does he mean by waiting for me? Could it be that he knew I would come? Zhou Wen was alarmed and puzzled. The entire matter was odd.
From the moment the former principal sent him the password, Zhou Wen felt that something was amiss. As the matter developed, Zhou Wen realized that the matter wasn't as simple as he had imagined.
At the very least, the silver-haired Companion Beast in front of him was definitely a terrifying existence. If the silver-haired Companion Beast had been placed in the store by the former principal, how could the former principal have captured such a Companion Beast? The former principal shouldn't have such strength.
