308 Exchange (1/2)

The procedures were strict, so how could there be any room for mistakes? Mythical Companion Eggs were just too rare. Would anyone mistake it for other Companion Eggs after obtaining it?

Zhou Wen definitely wouldn't be mistaken.

Regardless of the reason for the screw-up, there's no reason not to get something this good. Zhou Wen pointed at the Companion Egg with the Minotaur label and said to Li Xuan, ”I'll take this.”

”Minotaur? I say, Old Zhou, you sure are a little hardcore! There are so many Companion Eggs to choose from, but you have to choose something this ugly. Even if you want to save me money, that's not how you do it, right? Let's do it this way. I'll decide, and I'll get you that Nightmare Succubus tonight. I guarantee you that you won't regret it,” Li Xuan looked at the introduction on the card as he said.

”No, I want this. If you aren't going to bid for it, I'll do it myself,” Zhou Wen said.

”You're really odd. There are so many beautiful Companion Beasts, but you want none of that. Instead, you insist on something so ugly. Forget it, it's fine as long as you like it,” Li Xuan said helplessly. After all, Zhou Wen had been a weirdo from the beginning. He wasn't too surprised.

”Zhou Wen, Li Xuan, you two sure came early?” Wang Lu walked over and stood in front of them.

”Wang Lu, do you think Zhou Wen is odd? He doesn't want all these beautiful Companion Beasts and insists on having an ugly Minotaur,” Li Xuan said with a smile.

”What Minotaur?” Wang Lu asked.

Li Xuan pointed at the display cabinet beside him. Wang Lu looked over and saw that the serial number was 107. She looked at Zhou Wen in surprise and asked, ”You wish to buy this Companion Egg?”

”Yes.” Zhou Wen's heart skipped a beat as he felt something amiss.

”What a coincidence.” Wang Lu took out a note from her pocket and handed it to Zhou Wen.

”What's this?” Li Xuan craned his head to look at the note with great curiosity. He saw the number, ”107,” written on it.

Wang Lu said with a smile, ”I originally didn't want to come, but the organizer of this auction is a good friend of my family's elders, and I'm the only one in Luoyang, so I had to attend. I never thought of buying any Companion Beasts, and couldn't be bothered perusing the catalog, so I randomly wrote a number. I planned on bidding for the Companion Beast with that number this evening as a way to please the auction organizer.”

Li Xuan found it rather coincidental when he heard that, but Zhou Wen was alarmed. Wang Lu's luck was just too good. To be able to randomly select a Mythical Companion Beast made her a humanoid mascot.

”Don't tell me the two of you plan on bidding for this Minotaur?” Li Xuan looked at the two of them and asked.

Since the two of them had chosen the Minotaur, they would only benefit the seller if they got into a bidding war. Since they were all fellow students with a good relationship, there was no need for that.

Wang Lu looked at Zhou Wen and said, ”I don't plan on giving up. What about you?”

”Same here,” Zhou Wen said.

”I really don't understand you. There's no need to fight for a Minotaur. There are plenty of them in the West District. If you really want one, I'll get someone to get you a few. There's no need to strain your friendship,” Li Xuan tried to mediate.
