Zhou Wen checked a lot of information and realized that Luck Companion Beasts were indeed very rare. They were basically things that could only be chanced upon by luck. Ignoring Mythical Luck Beasts, even Epic Luck Beasts were rare.
After asking Gu Dian for information, the outcome wasnât too good. Previously, there were two lucky pets on the black market. Due to the high price, no one was willing to buy them. They had been auctioned off a few days ago.
Gu Dian refused to say who had successfully bid for them due to his professional ethics.
However, even if he didnât say it, Zhou Wen already knew that the two Companion Beasts were on him.
After doing a round of investigations, Zhou Wen knew that he definitely wouldnât be able to find a lucky pet. Hui Haifeng had basically swept away all the lucky pets he could obtain. Ignoring the huge expenditure, it was very likely that he had used his connections and special items to trade. It was almost impossible for Zhou Wen to obtain a Luck Companion Beast from the market.
Zhou Wen suddenly thought of Wang Lu. Wang Lu had a Luck Life Providence to begin with, and she had quite a number of lucky pets. He wondered if any of them had yet to hatch.
âDo you have time? I have something to ask you.â Zhou Wen sent Wang Lu a message.
âSo you only think of me when somethingâs up!â Soon, Wang Lu sent a message.
Zhou Wen originally wanted to explain, but on second thought, it did seem to be the case. Every time he took the initiative to send a message to Wang Lu, he seemed to require her help. He couldnât help but blush and couldnât bring himself to ask Wang Lu for help.
âFine, I know youâre a busy person. If thereâs anything, just say it. After all, you havenât paid off the meals you owe. It wonât hurt to pile on more.â Wang Lu sent another message.
âIâll treat you to a meal in a few days,â Zhou Wen replied in embarrassment.
âThen I have to rip you off good. I have to make you bleed.â Wang Lu asked again, âWhatâs the matter? Make it quick.â
âI just want to ask if you still have any Luck Companion Beasts. I want to buy a few,â Zhou Wen said.
âI have lucky pets, but they arenât for sale.â Wang Lu quickly sent a message back.
Zhou Wen was only somewhat disappointed, but he didnât fault Wang Lu. Luck Companion Beasts meant more to Wang Lu than ordinary people.
Ordinary people could only increase their luck by a little when they obtained a Luck Companion Beast, but they enhanced Wang Luâs Life Providence. Its effects were much stronger than ordinary people. It could be said that a Luck Companion Beast was similar to Wang Luâs exclusive Companion Beast.
Iâm being too silly. Wang Lu doesnât even have the time to collect Luck Companion Beasts. Why would she sell them?
?Zhou Wen felt that he was a little stupid for not thinking of this before. He shouldnât have asked Wang Lu. This question put her in a difficult position.
âIâm just asking. Itâs not of much use. Iâll look for you in a couple of days and treat you to a feast.â Zhou Wen sent a message.
âIâm definitely not selling it, but if you need it urgently, I can lend it to you for the time being. Why do you need a lucky pet?â Wang Lu sent another message.
âCan I borrow it?â Zhou Wen was delighted as he hurriedly said, âI want to use lucky pets to attempt the Venusian dimensional zone. Is it convenient to borrow it?â
Ordinary people wouldnât be able to return the Companion Eggs after hatching them, but Zhou Wen had the Sky-Stealing Sun-Swapping Art, so it wasnât difficult for him to return them.
âAlright, come to my place to get it. Itâs not convenient for me to go out at the moment,â Wang Lu said.
âWait for me.â Zhou Wen was overjoyed as he immediately rushed to the Wang family home.
Zhou Wen left without a word. The officers Hui Haifeng had sent couldnât help but grumble inwardly.
They had their doubts about whether Zhou Wen could lead them to the rankings. They only trusted Hui Haifeng, but that didnât mean they trusted Zhou Wen completely.
At the very least, Zhou Wenâs present performance wasnât reassuring.
They had been here for two days and had only seen Zhou Wen once on the first day. Then, they hadnât seen him again. There was no training, no discussion for cooperationânot even a plan. They didnât have any confidence in attempting the Venusian dimensional zone together. Anyone would feel uneasy. After all, this was a matter that risked their lives.
âCaptain Wei, can we count on Zhou Wen?â an officer whispered to Wei Yang.
Wei Yang was the soldier with a stiff face. His facial features looked like they had been drawn on. He was the captain of this special ops team.
Without waiting for Wei Yang to reply, the officer continued, âThe creatures that can enter the rankings are either Calamity-grade or large organizations like the Holy Spirit Association and the League of Guardians. The Holy Spirit Association has the augmentation of Fairy Peacock and True Martial, as well as an invincible existence like Ya. The League of Guardians has the guarantee of temporal and spatial powers. What do we have? Can Zhou Wen really lead us into the rankings by himself?â
In fact, it wasnât just him. Many officers had such concerns. Zhou Wen was indeed famous, but there was still a certain gap between him and large organizations like the Holy Spirit Association and the League of Guardians.
Furthermore, it seemed difficult for one personâs strength to beat any collective strength.
As soldiers, they could only obey orders, but to say that they werenât nervous or afraid was a lie.
Wei Yang said expressionlessly, âZhou Wenâs strength is undoubtedly top-notch among humans. From his past achievements, we can tell that this person isnât simple. Furthermore, even the president holds him in such high esteem. I believe heâs definitely a person with true talent. We donât need to worry about this. All we need to do is make preparations and help him get into the rankings.â
âHow do we prepare? The president told us to listen to his orders, but we donât even see him now,â the officer said gloomily.
Wei Yangâs expression remained unchanged as he said calmly, âThe president has always been meticulous and comprehensive. If the president says that Zhou Wen can do it, he definitely can. Zhou Wen probably has his own plans for not meeting us now. All we need to do is stay sharp and unleash our greatest abilities when the time comes.â
Although the officers were somewhat uneasy, they didnât let this uneasy feeling continue spreading due to Wei Yangâs influence. Instead, it weakened significantly. However, they were still displeased with Zhou Wenâs actions.
Zhou Wen rushed to the Wang family home that very night, but unfortunately, there were too many dimensional zones along the way. With his abilities, he couldnât directly reach the Wang family. All he could do was constantly use instant transmission to travel and circle around some dimensional zones that had yet to be explored by humans.
Thankfully, nothing happened along the way. In less than two days, Zhou Wen reached the Wang family home.
Wang Lu curled her lips when she saw Zhou Wen. âIf you werenât borrowing a Companion Beast, would you have ever taken the initiative to repay the debt?â
