Chapter 108 Xiyuan Crystal Shop
The princess has been in a very bad mood recently. Originally, according to her plan, Zhou Wen should have worked hard on his cultivation after viewing the Worry-Free Monument.
It is true that Zhou Wen did work hard, but he was working hard to play games, not to practice.
"You obviously have such great talent, why do you want to be a otaku addicted to games?" The princess really couldn't understand what Zhou Wen was thinking.
"It seems that relying on external force alone is not enough. We must give him some stimulation." The princess was thinking about how to motivate Zhou Wen and get him to stand up again.
But after thinking about it, she couldn't think of a good solution for the time being. The princess knew that teaching cannot be forced, and if she wanted to change a student's mind, she still needed a suitable opportunity.
Therefore, the princess planned to observe for a while and make plans after the first unified examination of Sunset College.
One month after the start of school, there will be a school-wide exam. Regardless of age, students from all classes and grades must take the exam. The exam questions are also the same, which determines a student's ranking in the college.
The princess felt that if Zhou Wen could see the true strength of the top students in the academy, perhaps he would be motivated.
Zhou Wen's life was ordinary but fulfilling. He spent every day madly brushing dungeons, and finally went to the Vulcan Altar to die, and memorized a few words of the Ancient Emperor Scripture.
Now Zhou Wen only regretted that the Ancient Emperor Scripture was too long. After going there so many times, he had only memorized a small part of the scripture, and he didn't know when he would be able to memorize the whole scripture.
The antelope was lazy in Zhou Wen's dormitory, eating and drinking with Zhou Wen all day long, with no sign of leaving.
Originally, Zhou Wen could just eat whatever he wanted without having to go to the cafeteria. But after this guy came, he ate fresh vegetables every day, so Zhou Wen had to go to the cafeteria to find a way.
Zhou Wen wanted to ignore it, but as long as this guy had nothing to eat, he would always follow Zhou Wen. He didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but just kept rubbing his head around Zhou Wen to prevent him from being quiet. It was impossible for him to play games, forcing Zhou Wen to prepare food for it.
Originally Zhou Wen thought that his life would continue like this, but the arrival of Ah Sheng broke Zhou Wen's peaceful life.
"Master Wen, Madam asked me to pick you up." Ah Sheng is always so humble and polite. Even people with hot tempers find it difficult to get angry with him.
"Sister Lan, what do you want to talk to me about?" Zhou Wen asked with a frown. If it wasn't something particularly important, he wouldn't want to go to the An family again.
"The lady asked me to tell you that she is waiting for you in the store in the city. She has something personal to ask for your help." A Sheng said.
"Okay." Zhou Wen nodded slightly. Since he was not going to the An family, and he was not opposed to Ouyang Lan, it would be okay to go there.
Ah Sheng drove Zhou Wen away from Sunset College. Normally, after the start of the school year, students were not allowed to leave the college unless it was a holiday. However, the person Ah Sheng wanted to pick up was obviously not one of them.
When the soldier guarding the gate saw the pass that Ah Sheng took out, he immediately chose to let him pass.
Ah Sheng did not lie, they were indeed not going to the An family. Zhou Wen originally thought that Ouyang Lan would ask him to meet in a restaurant or a cafe, or perhaps a clothing store or jewelry store.
But when the car stopped, Zhou Wen discovered that they had come to a dimensional crystal store called "Xiyuan".
Zhou Wen felt that the name of this Dimension Crystal Shop seemed a little familiar. After a little thought, he remembered that there was a business card in the express delivery sent by the principal before. The owner of the business card was Qin Xiyuan, the owner of Xiyuan Crystal Shop.
Because nothing related to the express delivery had happened since then, Zhou Wen had not paid any attention to the business card. It was only when he saw the sign of Xiyuan Crystal Store today that he remembered the business card again.
"I don't know if that string of numbers was just casually written on Qin Xiyuan's business card, or if it really has something to do with Qin Xiyuan." Several thoughts flashed through Zhou Wen's mind.
It was definitely impossible for him to show the business card to Qin Xiyuan. Before Zhou Wen figured out what the numbers on the business card meant, he had no intention of showing it to anyone.
"Xiao Wen, come here quickly." After the car stopped, Ouyang Lan, dressed in sportswear, stood on the steps in front of the store and waved to Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen got out of the car and walked up to Ouyang Lan, and asked politely, "Sister Lan, how can I help you?"
Ouyang Lan smiled and said, "Xiao Jing's birthday is coming soon. I want to give her a companion pet as a gift. I want you to give me some advice."
"Sister Lan, you're joking. Your understanding of companion pets is definitely much better than mine." Zhou Wen said.
Ouyang Lan didn't care. She took Zhou Wen's arm and walked into the store. "This is a birthday present. It's not equipment to be used on the battlefield. It doesn't matter if it's practical, just beautiful. It should make my little Jing fall in love with it at first sight. You young people have similar aesthetic tastes. Give me some advice."
Zhou Wen didn't expect that the important thing Ouyang Lan was talking about was like this, but since he was already here, it would be bad to turn around and leave. Besides, Zhou Wen also wanted to see what kind of place Xiyuan Crystal Shop was.
The shop assistants all seemed to know Ouyang Lan, and the manager soon came over to greet her personally.
"You guys go ahead and do your work, we'll just take a look around." Ouyang Lan said with a smile.
The manager and the clerk tactfully stepped aside, only Ah Sheng kept a distance and followed Ouyang Lan and Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen was a little surprised. In such a big store, there was not even a single customer except them. With such bleak business, he didn't know how this store could survive.
As if seeing through Zhou Wen's thoughts, Ouyang Lan said, "Although Xiyuan's store isn't the largest in Luoyang, it has the most exquisite items and often has some surprising little things. My father and the owner here have been close friends since childhood. He often brought me here when I was a child. Before I reached the epic level, many of my companion pets were purchased here, and many were given to me by Uncle Qin. Back then, Xiyuan's store wasn't as big as it is now. Every time my father brought me here, Uncle Qin would close the store, hang up the closing sign, and take my father to see his latest collection."
At this point, Zhou Wen probably understood what Ouyang Lan meant. It turned out that it was not that the business here was bad, but because Ouyang Lan came, the Xiyuan store was temporarily closed and opened only for her.
"But I haven't been here for a long time since my father left Luoyang." Ouyang Lan said as he walked to a row of lockers, skillfully entered a password, opened one of the lockers, and took out a bunch of keys from it.
Zhou Wen didn't see Ouyang Lan entering the password, but perhaps due to the influence of the listening function on his ears, his hearing was much stronger than before. He heard the keystrokes of Ouyang Lan entering the password and knew how many digits she had entered in the password.
"A ten-digit password?" Zhou Wen was slightly startled. He subconsciously glanced at the row of lockers and thought, "Could the string of numbers on the business card be the password to the lockers here?"
