Chapter 191 Qin Xiyuan
âThis Companion Beastâs name is the Skygod Crane. It was sent here by an Epic expert, Lu Jiuyun. This Skygod Craneâs speed is extremely fast. Furthermore, its Life Providence and Life Soul are pretty good...â Qin Xiyuan held Zhou Wenâs hand as he warmly introduced the Companion Beasts in basement four.
Zhou Wen felt odd. He was clearly here to buy a Speed Crystal, so why did Qin Xiyuan introduce these Companion Beasts to him?
Zhou Wen had tried to emphasize the purpose of his visit several times, but he couldnât find a chance to interject.
In fact, when Ouyang Lan brought Zhou Wen here, she had already told him everything. However, with Qin Xiyuanâs enthusiasm, Zhou Wen could only patiently listen.
Without realizing it, the two came to the room with the chained silver-haired Companion Beast. After entering the room, Qin Xiyuan suddenly said to Zhou Wen, âZhou Wen, do you know that you are in danger?â
âOld Master Qin, what do you mean?â Zhou Wen looked at Qin Xiyuan in confusion.
Qin Xiyuan looked outside and saw that Ah Sheng was still guarding the fourth level entrance. He whispered to Zhou Wen, âEveryone in Luoyang City knows that Little Lan married another man, but they donât know much about that man. At most, they know his surname is Zhou, much less know that he has a son named Zhou Wen.â
âThen how did you know about me?â Zhou Wen asked Qin Xiyuan.
âIt was Ouyang who told me. He said that he thinks highly of you and you are outstanding. If possible, he hopes that you can take over his job in the future,â said Qin Xiyuan.
âWhat job?â Zhou Wen looked at Qin Xiyuan in confusion.
Qin Xiyuan smiled bitterly and said, âOuyang is still as cautious as ever. He thought highly of you but didnât tell you anything?â
âThe former principal has indeed praised me for my talent, but that was just a casual remark. Donât treat it seriously.â Zhou Wen paused and looked at Qin Xiyuan. âOld Master Qin, doesnât the former principal study history? Iâm not familiar with this area and am not very interested in it. You must have heard wrongly that the former principal asked me to take over his job, right?â
âIt canât be wrong. Ouyang gave you the passcode, right? Did you see the metal slab over there? Enter the code. The items inside were all left by Ouyang. They should be of some help to you,â Qin Xiyuan said as he pointed behind the silver-haired Companion Beast.
What he was referring to was the metal slab with the shipâs anchor emblem engraved on it. The last time Zhou Wen came, he had seen the keypad on it. He guessed that it might be a password lock, but he never expected it to be true.
Despite having those thoughts, Zhou Wenâs expression remained stoic as he feigned surprise. âOld Master Qin, what password are you talking about?â
âDidnât Ouyang give you the passcode? Thatâs bad. Itâs all the things he left for you. You canât open without the passcode, so you can only wait for him to return,â Qin Xiyuan said as he stared at Zhou Wen.
âThe former principal left something for me? He even wants me to take over his job. Why havenât I heard him mention it before? Iâll have to ask him when he returns,â Zhou Wen said.
âDid Ouyang really not tell you anything?â Qin Xiyuan asked in surprise.
âBack when the former principal was still in Guide High School, he often chatted with me, but he didnât leave anything for me. Also, what was the danger that you mentioned?â Zhou Wen asked Qin Xiyuan.
âThe things Ouyang left for you are very important. If others know that you have the items, it will definitely be disadvantageous to you. So you must hide them well and not let anyone see them.â Qin Xiyuan said sternly.
âWhat are the things?â The puzzlement on Zhou Wenâs face wasnât faked. He really didnât know what the former principal had left him.
âSince you donât know anything, that can be considered a good thing. Forget it. Since Ouyang didnât tell you the details, letâs wait until he comes back.â Qin Xiyuan saw that Zhou Wen didnât seem to be faking it, so he didnât say anything else and left the room with the silver-haired Companion Beast.
When Qin Xiyuan closed the door, Zhou Wen glanced at the silver-haired Companion Beast. Just like the last time he came, the Companion Beast was still sitting there with his head lowered. His long silver hair covered his face, masking his appearance.
However, Zhou Wen had a nagging feeling that a pair of eyes were staring at him behind the waterfall-like silver hair. Furthermore, they were smiling at him.
After leaving basement four, Qin Xiyuan got someone to give him the Speed Crystal which Zhou Wen needed. He gave him a very high discount, and eventually, Zhou Wen paid 138,000 for the 21-valued Speed Crystal.
On the way back, Zhou Wenâs mind wasnât on the Speed Crystal.
Is the number on the name card really from the former principal? Is that string of numbers really used to open the metal slab? Zhou Wen was extremely puzzled as he felt that something was amiss.
Therefore, when Qin Xiyuan said those words, Zhou Wen only pretended not to understand anything. In fact, he really didnât quite understand.
Sir, whatâs going on? Zhou Wen was filled with doubt.
After Zhou Wen left his store, Qin Xiyuan sat on a chair in his office. He was using the mouse to click on the video and repeatedly replayed the entire conversation he had with Zhou Wen.
After watching for a while, Qin Xiyuan muttered to himself, It looks like Iâm overthinking things. This kid really doesnât know. Who did that old fool Ouyang pass the passcode to? He didnât even tell his own daughter. Could that old fool have wanted that thing to die together with him?
After returning to his dorm, Zhou Wen took out the 21-valued Speed Crystal and attempted to snap a picture to put it inside the game.
It was very dangerous to directly absorb stat crystals that exceeded oneâs level. Although Zhou Wenâs body was powerful, he wasnât willing to take the risk.
Furthermore, Zhou Wen was somewhat worried. A Legendary stage definitely had its limits, but he didnât know what the limit was. A personâs limit was 18. His was clearly higher than the average personâs, but he had no confidence in reaching 21 points.
The Speed Crystal successfully entered the game, the moment the blood-colored avatar touched it, it immediately transformed into a stream of light that fused into the blood-colored avatarâs body. It made Zhou Wen feel as though a force had fused into his muscles, strengthening them.
The blood-colored avatarâs speed quickly increased by one point and became 19. Soon, it increased by another point and became 20.
However, when the Speed Crystal was completely absorbed by the blood-colored avatar, his Speed stat stopped increasing.
Zhou Wenâs heart skipped a beat. He knew what he was most worried about had happened. His Legendary stats hit the limit at 20 points, so he was unable to increase his Speed to 21 points. Unless he advanced to the Epic stage, he wouldnât be able to learn the Dragon Gate Flying Immortal Skill.
