Chapter 170: Chapter 140 Medical Laboratory_1

Feng Yi didn’t want to discuss whether he learned his skills from Fahai or if his ancestors had the surname Xu, so after exchanging contact information, he left.

Mo Xiaoguang, however, seemed reluctant to part, watching Feng Yi walk away with longing eyes before turning to Bai Lu and saying, "Next time we go fishing, we should bring Feng Yi along, I feel so much safer! I wouldn’t mind calling him ’grandpa’ instead of ’dad’!"

Even if they encountered a giant python while fishing, they wouldn’t be scared anymore. And if they didn’t run into a giant python but encountered venomous snakes, with Feng Yi there, they would have nothing to fear!

Bai Lu was equally moved, "Now I finally understand why Brother Yi doesn’t take me out anymore! We’re not at the same level; I catch fish while he catches pythons. Awesome!"

This was a snake-catching expert recognized by both the Union Insurance Bureau and the Forestry Bureau!

The resort owners were busy dealing with the mess caused by the giant python, but they still placed great value on Feng Yi, the technical expert. They had planned to have the person in charge treat him to a nice dinner, but Feng Yi declined.

No matter how generous the hospitality, he didn’t dare to let loose and eat a lot outside; it would involve mingling with others. Uncomfortable, he preferred to go home.

After turning down the dinner invitation, Feng Yi went straight home with Ding, letting Jia drive them.

On the way home, he conveniently emptied the large lunch box prepared by the butler.

Jia hadn’t joined in the python capture and could buy something to eat if he was hungry. Ding had been following Feng Yi the whole time, and though he was just carrying the suitcase and running errands, he also expended energy. Feng Yi shared some of his meal with Ding, and while Ding had a larger appetite compared to others, he still couldn’t match Feng Yi.

In front of his own people, Feng Yi didn’t hold back, eating as much as he pleased!

The snake-catching didn’t take long, but the search process consumed a lot of energy.

Capturing odor molecules, analyzing smell information, focusing the brain for processing—all of those required energy, and mental work is still work.

Before heading home, he had told the butler to prepare a meal, and the dinner at home was well-prepared and plentiful.

In the eyes of the butler, Feng Yi was just a 24-year-old baby, still growing and developing. The more he ate, the faster he grew, and the sooner his next molting period would arrive.

The setting sun hung diagonally in the sky, and most daytime-active birds hurried to return to their nests before the daylight completely faded.

In the glow of twilight, a gray pigeon landed near a flagpole, uttering a dull cooing sound.

After dinner, Feng Yi sat by the window, enjoying the evening breeze.

When at home, Feng Yi increasingly preferred to stay in his original form, stretching his muscles and feeling more relaxed.

It was now November, and most parts of the country were entering winter, but Yang City’s climate remained warm. The clear days were still hot, and even though it became much cooler at night, the evening breeze meant there was no need for air conditioning or fans.

After moving the chair aside, Feng Yi sat on his tail while looking at the computer.

This time he had met a few more experts, some closely associated with certain departments or part of scientific research teams, who had better insights into and access to state-of-the-art medical and experimental equipment.

Busy with capturing the python during the day, everyone had their tasks, and there was no time for an extended chat. After adding these people as friends, Feng Yi left a message inquiring about medical experimental equipment.

Families with the means would keep such equipment handy, so those experts found nothing strange about Feng Yi’s intention to purchase.

Feng Yi was very serious about setting up a medical lab, having investigated it even before obtaining his appraiser’s certificate. Now, he had already received several price quotes for some of the equipment needed in a medical lab.

The first few pages of this electronic document listed the basic configurations, covering various types and directions of equipment, all of which were new models with high intelligence and precision levels—and of course, correspondingly high prices.

He wasn’t familiar with these items and felt dizzy just reading the equipment summaries, but what truly overwhelmed him were the prices.

After flipping through the first ten pages, sweat had formed on Feng Yi’s forehead.

The numbers were too pressuring.

Turning a few more pages, he looked at the prices for high-end precision equipment and the matching reagent kits, causing even more sweat to bead on Feng Yi’s forehead.

He grabbed the water cup from the table and gulped down a few mouthfuls, then casually snatched the tail tip beside him to fan himself.

After fanning himself twice and realizing it didn’t produce any breeze, he sighed softly and tossed it aside.

"This snake’s tail isn’t like a mermaid’s with a large fan surface."

The snake tail hit the floor, emitting a "thud" of reverberation.

Feng Yi continued to examine the equipment introductions and quotations. These things were expensive, but he had to start preparing them. Only after everything was prepared could he recruit a doctor.

Without equipment and tools, a doctor would come and not be able to leverage their skills—who would want to work with you then?

So, Feng Yi still felt a sense of urgency.

The lofty space at his home, which his great-grandmother used as a medical laboratory, had most of its equipment moved away when she relocated. Feng Yi needed to replenish it.

Feng Yi had asked the butler about this private medical laboratory: should he find someone to redesign and decorate it and then fill it with equipment?

Or should he keep it as is for now, initially outfit it with a basic setup, and then remodel it according to a doctor’s requirements after hiring one?

The butler recommended the latter.

When his great-grandmother used this place as a medical laboratory, she had it professionally designed, and the site met most equipment installation requirements; it was ready for equipment set-up. Of course, years have passed, and as instruments have been upgraded, there would be differences in equipment compared to many years ago, and undoubtedly some differences in usage. However, doctors would surely be more familiar with these things. Instead of changing it now, it would be better to do a preliminary setup and let the doctors take over once they arrived.

Anyway, this place was now Feng Yi’s territory; he would be informed of any changes. There was no chance of others secretly making alterations behind his back.

Flipping through the equipment quotations, Feng Yi dreamed of tumbling devices and a series of highly stressful figures at night.

After consulting some people and seeking advice from several experts, Feng Yi ordered a batch of equipment. As the butler had agreed, he filled the empty laboratory with some stock, like a bare room that had been simply renovated.

The day the first batch of equipment arrived, engineers were calibrating the machines. Feng Yi observed from the side, not understanding much, but listening was still beneficial.

Wei Hong Xun made a phone call.

Feng Yi listened to the call and walked to one side, pulling closed the glass soundproof door.

"The basement for raising ’Big Niuniu’? Wasn’t that matter almost settled? Why are you asking me to come over?"

Feng Yi hadn’t followed up on the resort python incident as he was busy with the medical laboratory. He heard that the case was in the final stages and that the rich young man who privately owned the python was about to be jailed. As for other details, they were irrelevant to Feng Yi, so he hadn’t spent much effort on them. The money was already in place, and anything unrelated to his tasks, he had no time to care about.

Wei Hong Xun explained, "The case is indeed almost thoroughly investigated, and the seized house will soon have its restrictions lifted. But I was hoping you could come over and have a look. I want to supplement my report with some extra materials."

As a junior investigator at the Stability Preservation Bureau, Wei Hong Xun took the matter seriously. The report was for his superiors, and it also displayed his capability.

This time, Wei Hong Xun was inviting Feng Yi personally to help, and the expert consultation fee would be paid by him. Feng Yi could name his price, which Wei Hong Xun could afford based on market rates.

Feng Yi pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the equipment being calibrated, "Let’s talk about the consultation fee later. I’ll come over and have a look first."

Once the calibration of the laboratory equipment was completed and a bit of tidying up was done, Feng Yi headed to the address Wei Hong Xun had provided.

It was also a villa area, a stand-alone two-story house that didn’t look very large from the outside, but its basement was quite spacious—nearly three-quarters of the area was dedicated to the python’s habitat.

The jungle-like setting and the precise control of temperature, humidity, and air pressure made it not only suitable for a python but also for a tyrannosaurus!

For many with experience in keeping reptilian pets, raising a snake does not require much space. Sometimes, too much space can even affect its feeding habits.

But here, it was apparent that the owner had put in a lot of effort.

The luxurious habitat for the gold python that Feng Yi had seen at the Rong City Zoo, which was a big crowd-puller, couldn’t compare to this place.
