Chapter 371: Chapter 250 Exchange Exchange_2

"Ahem, of course we knew that, the Dean just made a small..."

Song Wenjing also felt pretty embarrassed, she didn’t expect the old Dean to make such a rookie mistake.

But she can understand why this happened. After all, there was only one aging mandrake in the entire base which was relatively docile and wouldn’t scream randomly.

They had never encountered such a young mandrake before, so it was no wonder that the old Dean got excited.

Mu You was timely in using a magic spell to seal the mandrake’s voice, but they all had heard the vigorous voice of the mandrake before that. It was more than obvious that this mandrake was not only young but also very healthy.

"Speaking of which, you guys are really unprofessional. Mandrakes are extremely timid creatures, especially afraid of humanoids. Shouldn’t they usually be isolated using soundproof equipment?" Song Wenjing said.

"Ah, my mandrake is more... outgoing."

As Mu You spoke, he walked over to the mandrake, which was still trembling with its head buried in the ground, barely escaping. It didn’t run away, because the old man had cornered it, and it couldn’t get out. If it could, it would have run away long ago.

As soon as the mandrake noticed Mu You approaching, it darted behind him as if he were a savior, grabbing onto his trouser leg and hiding.

"A mandrake depending on humans? How fascinating... Is this a characteristic of young mandrakes?" Song Wenjing exclaimed, quickly took out a small notebook, and scribbled down some notes.

"Err... I don’t think so..." replied Lin Xue from the side, some amusement in her voice.

She knew very well what the mandrake’s attitude towards Mu You was usually like. Seeing him was usually like a student seeing the school principal, it always kept its distance.

It’s just that today, it had run into a more terrifying creature. Comparatively, Mu You was more trustworthy. At most, he would give it an injection or draw blood, without actually hurting it.

Chen Yichuan also knew he made a fool of himself. Embarrassed, he immediately took several steps back but couldn’t help asking Mu You, "Where did you get these creatures from?"

"Some I came across randomly. The fish were all caught from the game, transported here through the portal... And, I signed an agreement with a domestic pet store in the Star Spirit World, which allows me to purchase some unfixed magical creatures from them." Mu You said.

If he didn’t explain why he had so many magical animals, people would keep wondering. So, he might as well just come out and say it. His contract with the Black Cat Pet Shop was a perfect cover.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yichuan nodded without asking anything further.

Being able to establish contact with a local pet merchant in another world was a matter of personal luck, and he could only envy it.

However, his contact could also be beneficial for them. As a biological research department, they might need to cooperate with Mu You in the future.

Chen Yichuan’s attitude towards Mu You improved. No longer treating him as an ordinary pet dealer, he left his backpack, took out various professional instruments, and began inspecting the animals in the space one by one.

The so-called inspection wasn’t intricate, mainly revolving around two aspects.

Firstly, it aimed at determining the species, classifying the creature, and deciding whether it was beneficial or harmful. Only those creatures posing no harm to humans could be approved as merchandise.

Secondly, it aimed at detecting some specific pathogens and identifying the creature’s place in the food chain. If a large number of magical creatures with strong reproductive abilities were introduced to Earth, it would easily disrupt the original chain of life. As a regulatory department, they must estimate these risks.

As for Mu You, there were no problems in both regards. He possessed dedicated tools for neutering. The animals he sold were all neutered. The ones not neutered were taken care of in his store and were not allowed to disperse, so there were no fears about disrupting the ecological chain.

The inspection was being carried out smoothly.

However, shortly after the inspection began, Song Wenjing let out a surprised gasp in the distance.

"Dean, would you take a look at this creature?" Song Wenjing asked.

"What is it?" Chen Yichuan was puzzled. Song Wenjing was one of his most outstanding students; were there creatures even she didn’t recognize?

Chen Yichuan walked over to Song Wenjing and looked in the direction she was pointing.

There was a large fish tank housing several immature frogs that carried seed sacs about the same size as their bodies.

"These are flowering frogs, aren’t they?" Chen Yichuan said instinctively.

"I know they look like flowering frogs, but flowering frogs are usually toxic. And this frog shows no signs of toxin. Also..." Song Wenjing, wearing rubber gloves, flipped a frog to its belly, revealing its underside and pointed to the brood pouch: "Flowering frogs also carry brood pouches on their bellies?"

Now Chen Yichuan was also taken aback. He quickly picked up a frog and observed it carefully, growing more and more puzzled as he did so.

The two of them exchanged words in low voices for a while, then turned to Mu You in unison, asking, "What kind of creature is this?"

"This is called a Bulbasaur Seed." Mu You replied.

"Bulbasaur Seed?"

Chen Yichuan frowned and contemplated for a while, then turned to Song Wenjing, "In the ’Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Vertebrates in the Star Spirit World,’ is there a record of this name?"
