Chapter 109 Choosing a Companion Egg
Zhou Wen looked around and found that there were two rows of lockers nearby, at least forty or fifty in total.
Not to mention that Zhou Wen didn't know whether the ten digits on the business card were the locker password. Even if it was a locker password, he didn't know which locker it was.
Ouyang Lan held the bunch of keys and said, "Uncle Qin used to keep the store's spare keys in this locker. If my father wasn't there when he came, he could just grab the keys and go in to see the companion pets and eggs. I didn't expect that after all these years, Uncle Qin still kept this habit and didn't even change the password."
"When the old principal came here before, did he use the fixed lockers?" Zhou Wen asked casually.
"Of course, the lockers here are all old-fashioned safes, not the popular public lockers nowadays. Once a password is set, no one can open them except the person who set the password, not even Uncle Qin himself. So the lockers here are not open to everyone. Those who can use the lockers here are generally very familiar customers or Uncle Qin's friends."
Ouyang Lan said as she walked to a locker numbered 42 and said with great nostalgia, "This locker is the one my father used every time he came here."
Zhou Wen's eyes immediately fell on the locker, and he thought to himself, "Could that string of numbers be the combination to locker number 42?"
While Zhou Wen was still thinking, Ouyang Lan had already stretched out his finger and tapped the combination lock a few times, and storage box No. 42 was opened.
Ouyang Lan only pressed six numbers in total, and Zhou Wen then realized that the passwords here were not all ten digits long. They should be set by each person according to his or her own habits.
Locker No. 42 only contained some miscellaneous items, such as white gloves and masks.
Ouyang Lan handed Zhou Wen a pair of gloves and a mask. "Put them on. Although most companion eggs and companion pets are not afraid of contamination, 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 put on a set herself, and then took Zhou Wen directly to the elevator and went down to the basement floor.
"The top three floors are filled with various dimensional crystals and materials. From the first to the fourth floors below ground are filled with various companion pets and companion eggs, most of which are legendary ones." While Ouyang Lan was speaking, the two had already reached the first floor below ground.
Zhou Wen immediately saw many glass cages placed in the lobby on the underground first floor, which contained various companion pets that he had heard of or had not heard of.
"These companion pets are deposited here by their owners. It is not easy to buy these companion pets because their owners need to pay a huge price to transfer them, so the transfer fee is much higher than buying a companion egg of the same level." Ouyang Lan was very knowledgeable and introduced in detail all kinds of companion pets they could see, which broadened Zhou Wen's horizons.
When you come to the companion egg area, the number is obviously much larger. Rows of companion eggs are placed in reinforced glass covers. The colors, sizes and shapes are different, just like sparkling gems.
There is a sign next to each companion egg with some information about the companion egg, and some even have portraits of the companion egg after it hatches.
"Xiao Wen, what do you think of this companion egg of the butterfly fairy... This one of the Ice Moon Fox seems good too..." Ouyang Lan seemed to be enjoying it very much and kept asking Zhou Wen for his opinion.
"As long as it's a gift from you, Sister Lan, I believe An Jing will be very happy when she receives it." Zhou Wen said.
"That's true, but I still hope to give her something she will truly like from the bottom of her heart. You are all young people and your aesthetic tastes are similar. Please give me some suggestions." Ouyang Lan said as he selected the companion egg.
Zhou Wen didn't say anything else, but he thought to himself, "As a man, my aesthetic taste is naturally different from that of women. If you ask me for my opinion on the companion egg I choose, I'm afraid An Jing won't like it even more."
However, Ouyang Lan kept asking for his opinion, so Zhou Wen couldn't just say nothing. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "Sister Lan, can I take a photo of the companion eggs here?"
"Others may not be able to do it, but of course it's fine for you. Just take the pictures. Sister Lan will take you down there later. There are some epic companion pets there. Take a few more pictures so that if you meet them in the other dimension in the future, you will be able to recognize them in time." Ouyang Lan also pointed out some of the more important companion eggs and asked Zhou Wen to take a few more pictures.
Zhou Wen took out a mysterious mobile phone, pretended to take a photo, and took pictures of the companion eggs. He immediately saw their information and data.
Zhou Wen was not afraid of being captured by surveillance cameras on his phone, because he had tried many times using modern tools like mobile phones or cameras, but there was no way to capture the image on the mysterious phone screen. All he could see was a blurry screen light and nothing could be seen.
Zhou Wen really couldn't give any advice on aesthetics, but with the power of the mysterious mobile phone, he could give Ouyang Lan some suggestions on the properties of the companion egg.
"After looking around, I still think that Butterfly Fairy and Ice Moon Fox are the most suitable for my Xiao Jingjing. Xiao Wen, what do you think?" Ouyang Lan finally locked on Butterfly Fairy and Ice Moon Fox, but was a little hesitant and found it difficult to decide which one to choose.
"You can buy both." Zhou Wen said.
With Ouyang Lan's financial resources, buying two legendary companion eggs is simply a drop in the bucket, so there is no need to worry about it at all.
However, Zhou Wen used the mysterious mobile phone to look at the two companion eggs, and their properties were very ordinary.
Ouyang Lan shook her head and said, "Giving one gift shows my sincerity. Giving two would be unpleasant and would make Xiaojing feel that I'm just being perfunctory."
Zhou Wen felt a little envious of An Jing. He lost his mother when he was young, and his father was not good at taking care of children. So from childhood to adulthood, no one had ever celebrated his birthday for him, let alone given him a birthday present.
Ouyang Lan was so attentive and considerate to An Jing that Zhou Wen suddenly thought that if his mother had not died in childbirth, she would probably love him as much as Ouyang Lan loved An Jing.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind. Zhou Wen had long been accustomed to living alone. If he really had a mother like Ouyang Lan, he might not be used to it.
"Xiao Wen, what do you think? Don't 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 vicious caterpillar companion egg." Zhou Wen said, pointing to a companion egg that was only the size of a pigeon egg and was completely black.
"Are you serious?" Ouyang Lan looked at Zhou Wen in surprise.
The Vicious Caterpillar is not a powerful companion pet. Although it is a legendary pet, the various attributes of the Vicious Caterpillar are relatively poor, and its innate skill, the Evil Poison, is also very useless.
This poison will only work in places where the vicious caterpillar crawls, and the crawling speed of the vicious caterpillar is extremely slow. Not to mention legendary creatures, even mortal creatures that run faster can crawl faster than it.
