Chapter 812 Myth Level
Zhou Wen decided to go into Xiyuan Store first to take a look at the silver-haired companion pet. No matter how strong he was, since he was locked up, even a companion store could trap him. Qin Xiyuan and the others were fine, so there was no reason for him to get into trouble.
"As long as I don't move that piece of metal and don't enter the password, everything should be fine." Zhou Wen made up his mind. After paying the bill, he left the cafe, found a deserted place, put on an invisible cloak, and walked towards Xiyuan store.
Zhou Wen already had a clear understanding of the situation inside Xiyuan Store. Coincidentally, Qin Xiyuan was not in the store either. He avoided places where he might be discovered and slowly approached the elevator to the fourth floor.
For him, the entire building had no secrets at all. Zhou Wen passed through some ventilation ducts and quickly reached the top floor.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to go directly to the fourth underground floor, but the fourth underground floor is completely enclosed and there is no ventilation pipe that can reach there.
But this did not pose a problem for Zhou Wen. There was only one entrance to the fourth floor, which was a dedicated elevator inside Qin Xiyuan's office.
Zhou Wen remembered that the last time he followed Ouyang Lan here, Ouyang Lan was able to take him to the fourth underground floor. However, now the public elevator was blocked, and only this place could lead directly to the fourth underground floor.
Qin Xiyuan was not at home, so Zhou Wen found an opportunity when no one was around and released the ancient spores directly, allowing it to drill into the keyhole and open the lock from the inside. Zhou Wen easily entered his office.
Following the same procedure, he opened the locked elevator and successfully reached the deserted fourth underground floor.
Naturally, Zhou Wen could not find any difficulty with any lock. Miniature companion pets like poisonous insects could get into the lock, so it was very easy to open it.
Zhou Wen, who was in invisible state, could do whatever he wanted in the store and soon arrived at the room where the silver-haired companion pet was.
Zhou Wen did not go in directly because there were many cameras in the room, and there were several cameras installed even on the opposite side of the room. Even if he opened the door in stealth, the door would be seen by the people in the monitoring room as soon as it moved.
When Zhou Wen was thinking about how to get in, he suddenly found that the power in the entire building was out at once, which was somewhat different from a power outage.
If there is a power outage, it is only the power supply that is interrupted. Some devices will still have stored power, such as electronic watches, mobile phones and battery-powered appliances, which can continue to work.
But now, the electricity in the entire building seemed to have been sucked away at once, without a drop left, and all electronic equipment had lost its function.
Zhou Wen immediately knew that it must be the silver-haired companion pet inside who was causing trouble. Although there was a door between them, the silver-haired companion pet was looking at him and smiling, as if the door did not exist at all.
"You're finally here." The silver-haired companion pet spoke. This time, he not only opened his mouth, but also made a sound, which was different from before when he only spoke to him using lip language.
"You knew I would come?" Zhou Wen spoke to the silver-haired companion pet through the door without opening it. In fact, there was no need to open the door, as they could both see each other.
"When I saw you for the first time, I knew you were the one chosen by Ouyang Ting, so you will definitely come?" said the silver-haired companion pet.
"Why did you choose me?" Zhou Wen did not ask why he was chosen, because then the other party would know that he knew nothing, and then would consider whether to tell him these things.
Now Zhou Wen only needs to ask why he was chosen. The other party will always say something. Maybe he can get some useful information from it, and then he can continue to communicate with the other party.
"Because you are not smart enough." said the silver-haired companion pet.
Zhou Wen stared at the silver-haired companion pet in a daze. He had imagined many possibilities, but he didn't expect this to be the answer.
The silver-haired companion pet continued with a smile, "Some things can't be done by people who are too smart. We need someone who is not too smart, but not stupid either. At the same time, he has great talent, can occasionally have a flash of inspiration, and can also concentrate on the work."
"Then what?" Zhou Wen asked.
"Then you were chosen by Ouyang Ting. I think he has good vision. You are indeed a person who can concentrate on doing things." The silver-haired companion pet said with a smile.
"Then what can I do?" Zhou Wen asked again.
"I don't know." The answer from the silver-haired companion pet once again surprised Zhou Wen.
"How could you not know?" Zhou Wen frowned.
"Because we don't know how far you can go, we don't know what you can do in the end. Different levels of ability determine what you can do. When you are still a child, your parents won't let you go to work to earn money. When you are a man, no one will ask you to use your belly to give birth to a child. So what you can do does not depend on anyone else, it only has to do with your own ability." said the silver-haired companion pet.
"I'm not here to listen to you talk about philosophy. If that's all you want to say to me, then I think I should leave," Zhou Wen said.
"Okay, then I'll tell you something that interests you. Do you know the levels of mythology?" The silver-haired companion pet changed the topic, but Zhou Wen didn't understand why he suddenly said this. In the current situation, someone might come to check the situation on the fourth floor at any time. Shouldn't he talk about something related to himself?
"Are you talking about the level above mythology?" Zhou Wen asked patiently.
"That description is wrong. In fact, mythology itself contains many different levels. The mythology you are talking about now is just stepping into the threshold of mythology." said the silver-haired companion pet.
"Then what levels are myths divided into?" Zhou Wen asked.
"If you want to know what levels of mythology there are, you must first know what a god is. Do you know what a god is?" The silver-haired companion pet said slowly.
"Can our communication be simpler and more effective? I don't think I have much time to listen to your story here, and the people in this store won't give me so much time." Zhou Wen said.
The silver-haired companion pet remained calm and continued, "In ancient times, humans in primitive society developed a fear of the unknown and danger. This fear was embodied, and gods were born. For example, humans were afraid of thunder and lightning, so they imagined those thunder and lightning as terrifying life forms, and thus the Thunder God was born. Humans were afraid of heavy rain because it made them sick, so the Rain God was born. For example, humans were powerless against powerful creatures like tigers, wolves, snakes, and eagles. Humanity's fear led to worship, hoping to become as powerful as those ferocious beasts, and thus totem worship was born, which was also a form of deity."
"So the first level of myth is the fear level. Any mythical creature that can inspire fear in people belongs to this level. This is also the weakest level among mythical creatures. The mythical companion pets currently on the rankings all belong to this level."
