Chapter 309 Exchange
Even if you want to make a mistake, you have to have a chance to do so. Mythical companion eggs are so rare. If someone really gets such a companion egg, would they put it together with other companion eggs and make a mistake?
Anyway, if it was Zhou Wen, he would definitely not make a mistake.
"No matter how it went wrong, since there's such a good thing, why not let it go to waste?" Zhou Wen pointed at the companion egg with the Minotaur's name on it and said to Li Xuan, "I want this one."
"Minotaur? Lao Zhou, your taste is a bit strong! You don't want so many companion eggs, but choose such an ugly thing. Even if you want to help me save money, this is not the way to save money, right? Let me make the decision. I will shoot a female nightmare for you tonight. I guarantee you won't regret it." Li Xuan said after looking at the introduction on the business card.
"No, I want this. If you don't take the picture, I will take it myself at night." Zhou Wen said.
"You are such a weirdo. You don't want so many beautiful companion pets, but insist on having such an ugly thing. Forget it, as long as you like it." Li Xuan said helplessly. Zhou Wen has always been this weird, so he is not surprised.
"Zhou Wen, Li Xuan, you two came early enough?" Wang Lu walked over from the side and stood in front of the two of them.
"Wang Lu, don't you think Zhou Wen is weird? He has so many beautiful companion pets but he chose this extremely ugly Minotaur." Li Xuan said to Wang Lu with a smile.
"What Minotaur?" Wang Lu asked.
Li Xuan pointed to the display case next to him. Wang Lu looked over and saw the item number was 107. He was surprised and looked at Zhou Wen and asked, "Do you want to buy this companion egg?"
"Yes." Zhou Wen's heart skipped a beat, and he felt something was wrong.
"That's such a coincidence." Wang Lu reached into his pocket and took out a piece of paper, opened it and handed it to Zhou Wen.
"What is this?" Li Xuan leaned over to look at the note, very curious, and saw the number 107 written on it.
Wang Lu smiled and said, "I didn't want to come, but the owner of this auction is an old friend of our elders, and I'm the only one in Luoyang, so I had to attend. I didn't want to buy any companion pets, and I was too lazy to look around, so I just wrote down a number. When the auction starts tonight, I'll bid for the companion pet with that number, as a favor to the owner of the auction."
Li Xuan thought it was a coincidence, but Zhou Wen was shocked. Wang Lu's luck was too good to be able to get a mythical companion pet, which was simply a human-shaped lucky cat.
"You are not planning to bid for this Minotaur, are you?" Li Xuan said to the two of them.
Since both of them chose the Minotaur, if they fought, it would probably be an advantage for the seller. They are classmates and have a good relationship, so there is really no need.
Wang Lu looked at Zhou Wen and said, "I'm not going to give up. What about you?"
"Me too." Zhou Wen said.
"I really don't understand you guys. What's so great about fighting over a Minotaur? There are plenty of these things in the West District. If you really want one, I'll have someone get you a few. There's no need to ruin the friendship between classmates over such a thing." Li Xuan said to smooth things over.
"I will never change my decision, but Li Xuan is right. There is no need to damage the friendship between classmates for a companion egg. How about this, I will bid for this companion egg, and Zhou Wen, you bid for another companion egg. After bidding, we will exchange them as gifts. This way, I will not change my decision, and you will get the companion egg you want. Is this fair?" Wang Lu thought for a while and said.
"Fair." Zhou Wen nodded in agreement. He felt that if he really competed with Wang Lu, he would not be able to win over her. This was the best way.
Whether in terms of financial resources or luck, Zhou Wen is far from being Wang Lu's opponent.
"I'm going to say hello to the host. See you at the auction tonight." A waiter came to invite Wang Lu, and Wang Lu had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.
Zhou Wen continued to look at the companion egg in the exhibition hall. Although Wang Lu was willing to exchange it, Zhou Wen still felt a little uncomfortable. He thought that he couldn't give up the mythical companion pet, but at least he should try to find a good companion pet for Wang Lu.
In a private room on the top floor of Xiyuan store, a middle-aged man carefully knocked on the door, and when the door opened a crack, he immediately slipped into the room.
"Have you finished what I asked you to do?" An old man sat on the sofa in the private room, smoking a cigarette and asked.
"Sir, everything is done. I have already swapped the companion egg. As long as you bid for the companion egg at the auction, you can take it away without anyone noticing. The Zhang family will definitely not be able to find out in a short time." The middle-aged man who just came in said nervously.
"Well done. What's the number of the companion egg?" The old man put down his cigarette, his eyes flashing with a fiery light.
"Sir, you promised me that as long as I handle this matter well, you will let me regain my freedom and send me back home to sea." The middle-aged man looked at the old man and said with a panicked tone.
"I will naturally do what I promised you." The old man said with a frown.
"I have worked in the Zhang family for so many years and finally got to where I am today. Now that I have done this kind of thing and the Zhang family finds out, I will definitely have no way to survive. I am doing this to carry out your orders, sir. You must keep your promise and send me back home." The middle-aged man's eyes were bloodshot and his hands were clenched nervously.
"I said I would definitely do what I promised, so don't worry. What's the number of the companion egg?" The old man stared at him coldly and asked again.
"107... Number 107... That companion egg is very similar to the Minotaur's. I used some tricks on the companion egg. Even those identification experts would not easily find the flaws if they didn't know in advance. Besides, no one would pay special attention to a Minotaur's companion egg..."
Just as the middle-aged man finished speaking, a ghost-like light and shadow appeared behind the old man. The light and shadow sprayed a puff of smoke at the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man had no time to react before his body was enveloped by the smoke.
Soon, the smoke rolled back and turned into a cigarette when it fell between the old man's fingers.
The old man struck a match, lit his cigarette, took a deep drag, and then exhaled a puff of smoke and said lightly: "Don't worry, I will scatter your ashes into the sea. It can be considered as going home."
Zhou Wen walked around the exhibition hall for a long time but couldn't find a satisfactory companion pet. The pets were either too expensive or too bad. He couldn't afford the expensive ones, and he felt guilty about the bad ones.
Seeing that he was about to finish looking at all the companion eggs, when there was only the last companion egg left to look at, Zhou Wen took out his mobile phone to take a picture and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
