Zhou Wen decided to enter Xiyuan's shop to take a look at the silver-haired Companion Beast. No matter how strong he was, since he was locked up and even a companion shop could trap him, there was no reason for anything to happen to Qin Xiyuan and company.
As long as I don't touch the metal piece or enter the password, I should be fine. Zhou Wen made up his mind. After paying the bill, he left the coffee shop and found an empty spot. He put on the Invisibility Cloak and walked towards Xiyuan's shop.
Zhou Wen had already figured out the situation in Xiyuan's shop. Coincidentally, Qin Xiyuan wasn't in the shop either. He avoided the spots where he might be discovered and slowly approached the elevator that led to the fourth floor.
To him, there were no secrets in the entire building. Zhou Wen passed through some ventilation tubes and quickly arrived at the top level.
It wasn't that he didn't want to go straight to the fourth floor, but that it was completely sealed. There were no ventilation tubes that could reach there.
However, this didn't stump Zhou Wen. There was only one entrance to the fourth floor — a special elevator. It was in Qin Xiyuan's office.
Zhou Wen remembered that the last time he came with Ouyang Lan, she could still take him to the fourth floor. Now, the public elevator had been sealed. Only here could he go straight to the fourth floor.
Since Qin Xiyuan wasn't around, Zhou Wen found an opportunity where no one was around and released Primordial Spore. He let it enter the keyhole and opened the lock from the inside. Zhou Wen easily entered his office.
In the same way, he opened the locked elevator and successfully arrived at the empty fourth floor.
All kinds of locks naturally couldn't stump Zhou Wen. Miniature Companion Beasts like Gu could enter the lock, so it was too easy to unlock it.
In his invisible state, Zhou Wen could do whatever he wanted in the shop. Soon, he arrived at the room where the silver-haired Companion Beast was.
Zhou Wen didn't enter directly because there were many cameras in the room. There were even several cameras installed opposite the room. Even if he opened the door invisibly, he would be seen by the people in the surveillance room the moment the door moved.
Just as Zhou Wen was considering how to enter, he suddenly realized that the electricity in the entire building had gone out. This was somewhat different from a power outage.
If there was a power outage, it was only a power outage. Some equipment would still have stored electricity, such as electronic watches, cell phones, and electrical appliances with batteries. They could all continue working.
But now, the electricity in the entire building seemed to have been sucked away. There was not a single drop left, and all the electronic devices had lost their functions.
Zhou Wen immediately knew that it was definitely the silver-haired Companion Beast inside. Although there was a door between them, the silver-haired Companion Beast was smiling at him as though the door didn't exist.
"You finally came." The silver-haired Companion Beast said. This time, not only did he open his mouth, but he also made a sound. It was different from how he had only used lips to speak to him.
"You knew I would come?" Zhou Wen didn't push the door open. Instead, he spoke to the silver-haired Companion Beast through the door. In fact, there was no need to open the door. They could see each other.
"When I first saw you, I knew that you were the person chosen by Ouyang Ting, so you would definitely come?" the silver-haired Companion Beast said.
"Why me?" Zhou Wen didn't ask why he was chosen because the other party would know that he didn't know anything. When the time came, he would consider if he should tell him.
Now, when Zhou Wen asked why he was chosen, the other party would always say something. Perhaps he could obtain some useful information from it before continuing to communicate with the other party.
"Because you aren't smart enough," the silver-haired Companion Beast said.
Zhou Wen looked at the silver-haired Companion Beast in a daze. He had imagined many possibilities, but he never expected such an answer.
The silver-haired Companion Beast continued with a smile, "There are some things that too smart people can't do. The person we need is someone who isn't too smart, but he's not stupid. At the same time, he's very talented. He can occasionally have an idea and focus on doing things."
"And then?" Zhou Wen asked.
"Then, you were chosen by Ouyang Ting. I think he has good taste. You are indeed someone who can focus on doing things," the silver-haired Companion Beast said with a smile.
"Then what can I do?" Zhou Wen asked again.
"I don't know." The silver-haired Companion Beast's answer once again exceeded Zhou Wen's expectations.
"How can you not know?" Zhou Wen frowned.
"Because I don't know how far you can go, I don't know what you can do in the end. Different levels of ability mean different things you can do. When you were still a child, your parents wouldn't let you work to earn money. If you were a man, no one would ask you to use your stomach to give birth. Therefore, what you can do doesn't depend on anyone else. It's only related to your own abilities, "the silver-haired Companion Beast said.
"I'm not here to listen to you preach philosophy. If that's all you want to say to me, I think I should leave," Zhou Wen said.
"Alright, then I'll say something that interests you. Do you know the levels of the Mythical stage?" The silver-haired Companion Beast changed the topic, but Zhou Wen didn't understand why he would suddenly say this. Under such circumstances, there might be people coming to check on the fourth level at any time. Shouldn't he say something related to himself?
"Are you talking about the level above the Mythical stage?" Zhou Wen asked patiently.
"That description isn't right. In fact, the Mythical stage itself contains many different levels. The Mythical stage you are talking about now is just the threshold of the Mythical stage," the silver-haired Companion Beast said.
"Then what are the levels of the Mythical stage?" Zhou Wen asked.
"If you want to know what level the Mythical stage is, you first have to know what a god is. Do you know what a god is?" the silver-haired Companion Beast said unhurriedly.
"Can our communication be simpler and more effective? I don't think I'll have much time to listen to your stories here. The people in this shop won't give me that much time either, "Zhou Wen said.
The silver-haired Companion Beast continued without batting an eyelid, "In ancient times, humans in a primitive society were afraid of the unknown and danger. And by materializing this fear, gods were born. For example, humans were afraid of lightning, so they imagined that the lightning was a terrifying life form. That was how the Thunder God came to be. Humans are afraid of heavy rain because heavy rain can make humans sick, so there's Rain God. Another example is those powerful creatures — tigers, wolves, snakes, eagles, and so on. Humans' strength is no match for them. Due to fear, they worship them. They hope that they can be as powerful as those ferocious beasts. Hence, there's totem worship. It's also a type of god.
"Therefore, the first level of the Mythical stage is the Terror stage. Any Mythical creature that can instill fear belongs to this level. This is also the weakest level of the Mythical stage. Currently, all the Mythical Companion Beasts on the rankings belong to this level."
