Chapter 810 - I’ll Wait for You Here (1/2)

Should I give it a try and see if the passcode can open the huge metal slab beside the silver-haired Companion Beast? Zhou Wen couldn’t help but think.

If it were in the past, Zhou Wen wouldn’t have had the chance to approach the metal slab, but things were different now. With the Invisibility Cloak, he should be able to avoid the various surveillance cameras in the shop and reach the metal slab without anyone noticing.

Zhou Wen could have openly headed there and even bought the silver-haired Companion Beast, but he had a nagging feeling that there was something wrong with Qin Xiyuan. He wasn’t willing to let Qin Xiyuan know that he was interested in the metal slab.

In the end, Ouyang Lan failed to take away Ya’er and returned indignantly.

Zhou Wen thought about it for a while before finally deciding to head to Xiyuan Shop to take a look. Now that Ouyang Lan’s investigations had reached a bottleneck, it was unlikely for her to make any further progress. Perhaps the metal slab that chained the silver-haired Companion Beast could give Zhou Wen new ideas.

He packed up and fed all the Companion Beasts that needed to be fed. When he fed Demonic Neonate a few Longevity Fruits, she suddenly began evolving again.

She should be able to advance to the Epic stage this time, right? Zhou Wen was delighted. Demonic Neonate was one step closer to the Mythical stage.

However, looking at the remaining number of Longevity Fruits, he felt that these Longevity Fruits were probably insufficient to support Demonic Neonate’s evolution.

Thankfully, there’s still Grim Demon as backup rations. If there’s really no other way, it can be used to make do. Zhou Wen put away Demonic Neonate.

Before she completely evolved, there was no need to pin any hope on her strength in combat.

Banana Fairy was still evolving. She had been evolving for quite some time. Based on the time taken, she should be about to advance to the Mythical stage.

After packing his things, Zhou Wen set off for Qin Xiyuan’s shop.

Zhou Wen didn’t directly enter the shop. Instead, he went to a cafe near Xiyuan Store and ordered a cup of coffee. He sat by the window and planned on using Truth Listener to scan Qin Xiyuan’s shop while drinking coffee.

This cafe was relatively close to Xiyuan Store. Sitting here, Truth Listener’s range covered the entire store. He had to figure out the situation inside first.

“Sir, here’s your coffee.” The waiter served the coffee and politely placed it in front of Zhou Wen.

“Thank you.” Zhou Wen’s attention was focused on Xiyuan Store and he hadn’t noticed the waiter. When he heard a familiar voice, he looked up and couldn’t help but be taken aback. The person who had brought the coffee was Gu Dian.

Zhou Wen subconsciously looked around. Indeed, it was as he had imagined. The cafe was empty; there weren’t any customers.

Does the boss of this shop have a grudge with money? He actually hired Gu Dian as a waiter? Zhou Wen felt that the boss must be crazy.

“Gu Dian, why are you here?” Zhou Wen asked Gu Dian in puzzlement.

“Working to earn some money,” Gu Dian answered.

“Can working here be more profitable than fighting dimensional creatures and selling the dropped Companion Eggs?” Zhou Wen was still somewhat puzzled.

Gu Dian was considered one of the strongest figures in Sunset College. If he were to sell Companion Eggs he obtained, his income was definitely not something ordinary people could compare with. Furthermore, he was only a waiter at a cafe, so his salary couldn’t be much.

“Yes.” There weren’t many customers in the cafe, so Gu Dian didn’t leave.

“No way? This cafe can give you such a high salary?” Zhou Wen found it unbelievable that a waiter could earn so much.
