Chapter 250: Exchange and Exchange

"Where's it from, how did you tell it wasn't neutered?" Mu You looked at Chen Yichuan very curiously.

The sterilization method of the Star Spirit Realm is not a physical castration on the earth, but a magical method, and there should be no difference between the appearance before and after sterilization.

"The color of the tail of the wings of the silver owl that has lost its reproductive ability will be slightly duller than the other parts of the feathers, and this difference is difficult to distinguish from the appearance, and it can only be seen by people who have been dealing with silver owls for a long time." Song Wenjing answered this question instead of Chen Yichuan.

She was also surprised when she looked at the silver owl in Mu You's hand, because as far as she knew, the supply of silver owls in the Star Spirit Realm was monopolized, and the silver owls that could be seen on the market were all neutered breeds.

And the silver owls in their base are all neutered silver owls purchased from pet dealers, real wild silver owls, they have only seen them in photos.

"I see......

Mu You nodded, it was really impossible for him to know this kind of detail, which made him more interested in the information in the old man's mouth, but unfortunately people didn't sell it.

"Can you quarantine this silver owl?" Mu You asked.

"Absolutely." Song Wenjing nodded.

"That's good, you check first, and I'll take it."

"Other animals?" Chen Yichuan asked.

"Ah, that's not it." Mu You turned his head and got into the backpack again. This time, Chen Yichuan and Song Wenjing both subconsciously went to the entrance of the backpack to take a look.

As a result, before he could see the doorway, Mu You came out again, holding a fish tank in his hand, coral grass was planted in the tank, and next to the coral cluster was a strangely shaped insect-like creature, only the size of a finger's belly.

"Okda Worm!" Chen Yichuan said the names of the creatures in it.

"Good eyesight!" Mu You gave a thumbs up.

Chen Yichuan was speechless, is this questioning his professional ability?

They had been studying otherworldly creatures for two years, and they knew almost all the anomalous animals with names and surnames.

"Is this thing common?" Mu You asked.

He has only caught one of this bug so far, and its appearance is not good-looking, of course, he doesn't plan to sell it, so he just wants to take the opportunity to take it out and consult a professional.

"It's rare, but it's not uncatchable, but it's not easy to breed, and you need to simulate the environment in which deep-sea corals grow, especially on Earth, which is basically difficult to keep in captivity." Looking at the rare magical beasts that he took out in a row, Chen Yichuan's attitude towards Mu You was much better.

"Anything else?" Chen Yichuan took the initiative to ask.

"Wait until I get ......," Mu You said and then got into the backpack.

But after taking two steps, he stepped back and said, "Well, that's a lot...... Why don't you come in and see for yourselves?"

Chen Yichuan and Song Wenjing had wanted to do this for a long time, and when they got permission at this time, they immediately nodded and stepped into the door.

This backpack is, of course, the large backpack that Mu You is going to take to open a store, and as soon as they enter the space, the first thing the two of them notice is those chocobos racing on the track in the distance.

"Chocobo!"

Song Wenjing exclaimed, and then looked at Mu You in surprise: "It turns out that you sent that video!"

"Oh? You've seen it too?" Mu You asked. It seems that his video is still quite widespread.

"Of course, your video has been edited by many people and reposted on major platforms, and many people in my circle of friends are posting it, and it's hard to see it." Song Wenjing said.

"What video?" Chen Yichuan was a little dazed, he didn't pay much attention to these Internet hotspots.

"A video of a chocobo race, it's been very popular for the past two days." Song Wenjing explained, and then saw a row of fish tanks not far away, and hurriedly approached.

"Ice Angel! Light! Color-changing fish ......" Song Wenjing called out the names of the tanks of fish one by one.

Mu You found that he really underestimated the knowledge reserve of these professional scholars.

When he was introduced to Potions, he had studied one of Vivien's books on animal materials, but there were still many animals that he didn't know when he first saw them

Rely on the Crystal of Omniscience to discern.

As a result, everyone here seems to be able to name each other, and everyone is a master of magical zoology.

Chen Yichuan was much calmer than Song Wenjing, and swept the creatures in the space in turn.

What makes him more satisfied is that these animals are in good condition, and except for fish, they are basically in a state of free movement, which shows that the keeper feeds well, at least not the kind of businessman who frantically squeezes animals for profit and uses animals as surplus tools.

But he soon lost his composure.

When sweeping a corner of the space, Chen Yichuan suddenly noticed that on the grass over there, a creature like a white radish was turning its back to them, burying its head in the corner of the wall over there, pulling the grass with both hands, as if digging a hole.

"Mandrake?"

Chen Yichuan suddenly let out a low breath, and instinctively walked quickly, wanting to see clearly.

Mandrake was just moved to this new space by Mu You this morning, and is busy digging a pit for himself to make a home.

Halfway through the busyness, I suddenly felt movement behind me, and when I looked back, I saw an old human face, staring at it, the eyes were like a hungry wolf that saw sheep, and I was scared enough, and subconsciously screamed: "Wow......"

But as soon as it screamed, it felt its mouthpiece stagnate, and it couldn't make a sound anymore.

In the distance, Mu You put away his wand and looked at Song Wenjing on the side a little strangely: "You dean is unreliable, the mandrake's cry will cause a coma, this should be common sense, right?"

"Ahem, of course I know, the dean was just careless......

Song Wenjing was also embarrassed, she didn't expect the old dean to make such a low-level mistake.

But she can actually understand this, because there is only one mandrake in the entire base, and it is still an elderly mandrake, with a relatively docile personality, and will not shout casually.

It was the first time they had seen such a young mandrake, and it was no wonder that the old dean was excited.

Just now, Mu You used the throat locktongue in time to seal the mandrake's voice, but they still heard the short voice before, the sound full of energy, obviously this mandrake is not only young, but also very healthy.

"Anyway, you're too unprofessional, mandrakes are very timid animals, especially afraid of humanoids, shouldn't they be isolated with soundproofing devices?" Song Wenjing said.

"Ah, my mandrake, it's more ...... Extroverted."

Mu You walked over there, at this time the mandrake was still shivering in the dirt pit, he didn't care about his head, it was not that he didn't want to run, but he was blocked in the corner by this old man, and he couldn't get out, otherwise he would have slipped away.

At this time, as soon as he found Mu You approaching, Mandrake hurriedly fled behind him as if he had seen a savior, grabbed his trouser leg and hid.

"Mandrakes are dependent on humans? It's amazing...... Is this a characteristic of young mandrakes?" Song Wenjing looked at this scene and said in surprise, then took out a small notebook from his body and hurriedly wrote down some things on it.

"Ugh...... I'm afraid this isn't ......" Lin Xue next to her was a little funny.

She knows what Mandrake's attitude towards Mu You is, and when she sees Mu You, she usually hides far away when she sees Mu You like a primary school student meeting the director of the school.

Today can only be said that it has encountered a more terrifying two-legged beast, relatively speaking, Mu You can trust it a little more, at most give it an injection and draw blood, and it will not really hurt it.

Chen Yichuan also knew that his actions had caused a fuss, which made the young man see the joke, his old face turned red, and he immediately took a few steps back, but he still couldn't help but look at Mu You and asked, "Where did you get these creatures?"

"Some of them were picked up by chance, and the fish were caught in the game and sent back through the door...... In addition, I signed a deal with a pet shop in the Astral Spirit Realm to buy some unneutered magical creatures from them." Mu lobbied.

Why does he have so many magical beasts, if he doesn't say it, some people will always doubt it, but it is better to say it himself. His contract with the black cat pet shop was a perfect cover.

Oh?"

Chen Yichuan nodded when he heard this, and didn't ask anything more.

Being able to get in touch with the local pet dealer in another world, this is a personal encounter, not a forced one, and he can only envy it.

However, it is also a good thing for them that the other party has this kind of channel, and as a biological research department, they may need to cooperate with each other in the future.

Chen Yichuan's attitude towards Mu You was better, he didn't treat him as an ordinary pet merchant anymore, left his backpack and got all kinds of professional instruments, and began to check the animals in the space in turn.

The so-called inspection is also not complicated, there are two main aspects.

The first is to identify the species, to make a clear classification of the organism, to determine whether it is beneficial or pestful. Organisms that can be approved as commodities can only be organisms that are not dangerous to humans.

The second is to detect some specific transmissible germs, as well as to identify the food chain of organisms. There are some magical creatures with excessive reproductive ability that are released to the earth on a large scale, and it is easy to destroy the original biological chain of the earth, and they, as the monitoring department, must estimate these risks.

Mu You has no problem in both aspects, he has special sterilization tools in his hands, and the animals sold must be sterilized, and those who are not sterilized are left in the store to raise them themselves, and they will not be allowed to spread out, and there will be no problems such as affecting the ecological chain.

One inspection after another is proceeding smoothly.

However, not long after the inspection began, Song Wenjing suddenly sighed in the distance.

"Dean, come and see what kind of creature this is?"

"What?" Chen Yichuan is a little strange, Song Wenjing is also one of the best students under him, and there are creatures she doesn't even know?

Chen Yichuan walked to Song Wenjing's side and looked in the direction she pointed.

There was a large fish tank, and in the tank were dozens of immature frogs, with a seed sac about the size of their bodies growing on their backs.

"It's a flower frog, isn't it?" Chen Yichuan said subconsciously.

"I know that it looks like a flower frog, but flower frogs are generally poisonous, and this frog has zero toxicity testing, and it is ......" Song Wenjing wore rubber gloves, turned a small frog in her hand over, revealing her belly, and pointed to the nursery belt on her belly: "Is there a nursery bag on the belly of the flower frog?"

Chen Yichuan was also a little surprised at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to take out a frog and observe it carefully, but the more he looked at it, the more confused he became.

The two exchanged words in a low voice, and finally looked at Mu You together: "What kind of creature is this?"

"It's called the Frog Seed." Mu lobbied.

"Frog Seed?"

Chen Yichuan frowned and pondered for a while before looking at Song Wenjing: "In that book of Star Spirit Realm Spine Creatures, there is a record of this name?"

"No...... Right?" Song Wenjing was also a little unsure.

The book was written by a great traveler from another world, and it contained tens of thousands of vertebrates, but many of them had only one name, and she wasn't sure if she remembered them all.

"Oh, this frog is a new species born from the crossing of two frogs, it has not yet been named in the astral realm, and the wonderful frog seed is the name I gave myself." Mu You explained.

"New species?"

The surprise of the two is not trivial. The unnamed new species was not discovered by the natives of the Astral Spirit Realm, but was discovered by the earthlings first?

"What's going on?"

"Tell me more!"

Mu You thought about it, there was nothing to hide, anyway, it would be released sooner or later, and it was not difficult to guess that this frog was a combination of the two frogs just by looking at the characteristics, so he simply told the two of them directly.

"Grow flower frogs and pocket toads...... Aren't these two frogs reproductively isolated?"

Chen Yichuan and Song Wenjing were surprised when they heard this, these two frogs, one poisonous and the other non-toxic, are generally impossible to combine, but the creatures in front of them subvert their cognition.

Song Wenjing hurriedly recorded new knowledge in the notebook.

Surprised by the new species, the two continued to work, and after a busy morning, they finally tested all the magicians

Thing.

The result, of course, is all qualified.

With Dean Chen's personal participation, the various procedures that followed were also given the green light all the way, and at half past three in the afternoon, all the procedures were processed, and the whole process was less than six hours, and Mu You got the documents that passed the audit.

This is an incredible speed for the sheer number of animals he has brought with him.

After all the procedures were completed smoothly, Mu You was also relieved, and seeing that the time was not early, he was ready to leave.

As a result, I didn't expect it, but when I was about to leave, something went wrong.

"No, you can't go!"

Mu You looked back at Chen Yichuan who was dragging his backpack, and had a headache, why didn't he let him go?

"You've brought so many precious otherworldly animals with you, you...... Are you sure you can raise it?" Chen Yichuan said meaningfully.

Mu You looked at the other party strangely: "Dean Chen, what do you mean?"

"I won't say anything else, but Frog Seeds and Silver Owls, you have to keep a batch, especially Frog Seeds...... Of course, the ownership is still yours, we just help you keep it!" Chen Yichuan said.

Mu You understood what he meant, and said speechlessly, "Dean Chen, I'm going to take these wonderful frog seeds to open a store."

"What kind of shop, you take such a precious creature to open a store? Are those ordinary people raising them?" Chen Yichuan glared.

"This...... It doesn't seem like it's hard to raise, right?" Mu lobbied.

According to his observations during this time, the survival ability of magical animals is still very strong, and it is completely feasible according to the general pet breeding method, and there is no threshold.

"It's a new species...... Well, how much do you sell, I'll cover it all!" Chen Yichuan said proudly.

It's all inclusive...... You're going to be a second-class dealer!

Mu You shook his head: "I'm sorry, the products in our store are temporarily limited to one per person!"

"Still restricted?"

Chen Yichuan frowned, and blurted out: "Then I can always take the people from the research institute to buy one, right?"

「…… Old dean, you are a scalper......" Mu You looked at Chen Yichuan even more strangely. Although he understood that the old man's mind was to keep a few more for research, he didn't expect that he would fight so hard for this, and he didn't care about his face.

"Then I can't control it, you can open it for the price, but these two animals, we have to leave some for research!" The old man simply said it clearly.

"It's not impossible to leave some...... Mu You said suddenly.

There are enough frog seeds and silver owls, and he doesn't mind leaving some for the Academy of Sciences for research. However, there is a give-and-take, and of course the benefits that should be there are also to be fought for.

"Say what?" Chen Yichuan also understood that the other party was asking for conditions.

"Dean Chen, I see that many of your magical beasts here have also bred enough bases, why don't you also get me a few that I don't have over there, let's exchange them?" Mu You's gaze swept to the major biological cultivation rooms in the base, compared to the few dozen animals in his backpack, this is the real treasure trove of magical creatures!

Chen Yichuan's face suddenly became very exciting when he heard this, what a boy, he hasn't gotten an animal from the other party, but the other party has started to fight the idea of the creature on his side.

"Don't worry, Dean Chen, I promise to take good care of them, and the creatures I 'borrowed' from you are guaranteed to be used only for exhibitions and will not be sold." Mu You said with a smile.

Although Chen Yichuan was reluctant, he also knew that this was already the result of the other party's concessions. What's more, he was still thinking about Mu You's channel as an animal merchant from the other world, and he didn't insist too much at this time.

Then the two had a tug-of-war of words on how to "exchange".

This operation made Song Wenjing and Lin Xue, who were watching next to him, look stupid, the dean of the academy, how can he do it like buying vegetables in the aunt's vegetable market, arguing with people.

Two hours later, the talks between the two finally came to an end.

In the end, Mu You paid 10 healthy silver owls, half male and half female, and 12 wonderful frog seeds.

In addition, in the future, Mu You will be from the pet merchant of the other world

When you buy something, if you encounter a creature that is not in the base or is relatively special, you need to help the Academy of Sciences buy some without affecting his business, and of course, the consumption will be fully reimbursed by the Academy of Sciences.

And Mu You, on his side, finally obtained two salamanders, four ferrets, two moon beasts, a chakalong, a one-horned stag, and a butterfly-eared dog, all of which were gentle magical creatures that were not aggressive.

In addition, Mu You and Lin Xue also obtained an internal account on the website of the Department of Different Research of the Academy of Sciences, which can only be entered by confirming the identities and fingerprints of the two people, in which they can browse various zoological materials for free, but they cannot be downloaded or copied and disseminated.

After the negotiations, Mu You and Lin Xue did not stay in the capital. Lin Xuewan refused Song Wenjing's invitation to stay overnight, and the two rushed back to K City overnight.
