Chapter 372: Chapter 250 Exchange Exchange_3

"Not...sure?" Song Wenjing was also a little uncertain.

The book was written by an otherworldly great traveler, and it records tens of thousands of vertebrate species. However, many of them were only mentioned by name, so she was not sure if she remembered them all.

"Oh, this frog is a new species born from the crossbreeding of two types of frogs. It has not yet been named in the Star Spirit World. I named it Bulbasaur Seed myself," explained Mu You.

"A new species?"

Both of them were immensely surprised. A new, unnamed species had been discovered by an Earthling before the original residents of the Star Spirit World?

"What happened?"

"Let’s hear the details!"

Mu You figured there was nothing to hide about the matter. It would come to light anyway, sooner or later. Judging by its features alone, it wasn’t hard to guess that the frog was a combination of two other frog species. So he simply told them about it.

"The Flowering Frog and the Pocket Toad... these two types of frogs can interbreed?"

Both Chen Yichuan and Song Wenjing were surprised after hearing this. These two species of frogs, one toxic and the other not, generally wouldn’t breed together. But the creature before them subverted their understanding.

Song Wenjing hastily noted down this new information in her notebook.

Filled with amazement at the new species, they continued to work. After half a day of busyness, they finally completed testing all the magical creatures.

As expected, all of them passed.

With Dean Chen personally involved, the rest of the procedures were smoothly greenlighted. By three-thirty in the afternoon, all the paperwork was done within just less than six hours, and Mu You received the approved documents.

Considering the large number of animals he brought, this was an incredibly fast pace.

After all the procedures were smoothly completed, Mu You sighed with relief. Seeing as it was getting late, he decided to leave.

To his surprise, when he was about to leave, a problem arose.

"No, you can’t leave!"

Mu You turned around to look at Chen Yichuan, who was grabbing his backpack. He was getting a headache. Why wouldn’t they let him leave now?

"You’re bringing so many valuable creatures from another world...are you...sure you can take care of all of them?" Chen Yichuan asked suggestively.

Mu You looked at him curiously: "Dean Chen, what are you implying?"

"I won’t beat about the bush. But you have to leave a bunch of Bulbasaur Seeds and Silver Owls with us, especially Bulbasaur Seeds... Of course, they will still be yours, and we are just helping you to take care of them," said Chen Yichuan.

Mu You seemed to get what he was implying, and said helplessly: "Dean Chen, I plan to sell these Bulbasaur Seeds in my shop."

"What shop? You want to open a shop with such precious creatures? Can regular people even afford to keep them?"Chen Yichuan retorted.

"Well... It doesn’t seem difficult to keep them, right?" said Mu You.

Based on his observations during this period, the magical creatures had a strong ability to survive. They could be raised just like ordinary pets, with no high bar to overcome.

"This is a new species, after all... How about this, how much are you selling for, I’ll take them all!" Chen Yichuan said generously.

Take them all... So you want to be a reseller, huh?

Mu You shook his head, "Sorry, my store’s policy is one creature per person."

"There’s a limit?"

Chen Yichuan frowned and impulsively said, "Then I can still bring the people from the research institute and have each one buy one, right?"

"...Dean Chen, this is cornering the market... " Mu You looked at Chen Yichuan in an even stranger way. Although he understood that the old man wanted to keep a few more for research, he didn’t expect him to be this desperate, even disregarding his reputation.

"I don’t care. You can name your price, but we must keep some of these two kinds of animals for research!" The old man finally spoke his mind.

"Keeping some of them is not a problem..." Mu You suddenly agreed.

He had enough Bulbasaur Seeds and Silver Owls. He wouldn’t mind leaving some for the Science Academy for research. However, as the saying goes, there’s no such thing as a free lunch, and he also wanted to gain from this.

"Name your conditions!" Chen Yichuan also realized that Mu You was about to make some demands.

"Dean Chen, I see there are quite a few magical creatures here that have reproduced enough. Why don’t you give me a few species that I don’t have, and let’s make a trade?" Mu You’s eyes swept over the various cultivation rooms of the base. With only a dozen species in his backpack, the real treasure trove of magical creatures was right here!

Chen Yichuan’s face turned interesting at these words. This cunning fellow, before he had even managed to get creatures from him, had turned around and started targeting the creatures on his side.

"Don’t worry, Dean Chen, I promise to take good care of them, and any animals I ’borrow’ from here will only be used for display, not for sale," Mu You said with a smile.

Even though Chen Yichuan was reluctant, he knew this was the result of Mu You compromising. Moreover, he was also keen on Mu You’s connection with the otherworldly animal merchant, so he didn’t push too hard at this point.

Afterward, the two had a lengthy discussion about how to ’exchange’ the creatures.

The operation left the spectators, Song Wenjing, and Lin Xue, dumbfounded. The dignified Dean of the Science Academy, reduced to haggling over the price like an old lady at a vegetable market.

Two hours later, their negotiation finally concluded.

In the end, Mu You gave up 10 healthy Silver Owls, five males, five females, and 12 Bulbasaur Seeds.

In addition, in the future, whenever Mu You stocked up from the otherworldly pet merchant, if he happened to come across creatures not present in the base or ones of particular interest, he needed to buy some for the Science Academy, provided it didn’t impact his own business. The Academy would cover all costs.

In return, Mu You received two Fire Lizards, four Snow Ferrets, two Moon Infatuated Beasts, one Chaka Dragon, one Single Horned Elk, and one Butterfly Eared Dog, all of which were docile magical creatures without any aggressive tendencies.

Besides, both Mu You and Lin Xue received an internal account for the Science Academy’s Paranormal Research department’s website. It could only be accessed by verifying their identities and fingerprints. They could browse various animal science materials for free within the site, but they weren’t allowed to download or spread them.

After concluding their negotiation, Mu You and Lin Xue didn’t linger in the capital. Lin Xue declined Song Wenjing’s invitation to stay the night, and they both headed back to K city overnight.
