Chapter 250 Exchange Exchange
"Let's not tell where it came from, how did you know it was not sterilized?" Mu You looked at Chen Yichuan curiously.
The sterilization method in the astral world is not the physical castration on the earth, but the magic method. There should be no difference in appearance before and after sterilization.
"For a silver owl that has lost the ability to reproduce, the fur at the end of the wings will be slightly darker than the rest of the feathers. This difference is difficult to distinguish from the appearance, and it must be seen by those who have dealt with silver owls for a long time." Song Wenjing replaced Chen Yichuan answered the question.
She was also very surprised when she saw the silver owl in Mu You's hand, because as far as she knew, the supply of silver owls in the Protoss World was monopolized, and the silver owls that can be seen on the market were all neutered species.
And the silver owls in their base are all sterilized silver owls purchased from pet dealers. They have only seen real wild silver owls in photos.
"I see…"
Mu You nodded. It was really impossible for him to know such details. This made him more interested in the information in the old man's mouth, but it was a pity that they did not sell it.
"Then can you quarantine this kind of silver owl?" Mu You asked.
"Of course." Song Wenjing nodded.
"That's good, you check first, and I'll take it later."
"Any other animals?" Chen Yichuan asked.
"Ah, that's not true." Mu You turned his head and put it into the backpack again. This time, both Chen Yichuan and Song Wenjing subconsciously went to the entrance of the backpack to look inside.
Before he could see the way, Mu You came out again, holding a fish tank in his hand, with coral grass planted in it, and beside the coral cluster was a strange-looking insect-shaped creature, only the size of a finger belly.
"Okda bug!" Chen Yichuan said the name of the creature in it.
"Good eyesight!" Mu You gave a thumbs up.
Chen Yichuan was speechless. Is this questioning his professional ability?
They have been studying alien creatures for two years, and they know almost all abnormal animals with names.
"Is this thing common?" Mu You asked.
He has only caught one bug so far, and it doesn’t look good. Of course, he doesn’t plan to sell it. He just wants to take this opportunity to consult professionals.
"It's relatively rare, but it's not impossible to catch, but it's not easy to reproduce. It needs to simulate the environment in which deep-sea corals grow, especially on the earth. It's basically difficult to raise them artificially." Looking at the rare magical animals that were brought out one after another, Chen Yichuan expressed his gratitude. Mu You's attitude improved a lot.
"Is there any more?" Chen Yichuan asked proactively.
"Wait for me to get it..." Mu You said and put it into the backpack again.
But just two steps away, he backed up: "Uh, there are a lot...how about you come in and see for yourself?"
Chen Yichuan and Song Wenjing had wanted to do this for a long time, but now they got permission, they nodded immediately and stepped into the door.
This backpack is of course the large backpack that Mu You is going to use to open the shop. As soon as they entered the space, the first thing they noticed were the chocobos racing on the track in the distance.
"chocobo!"
Song Wenjing exclaimed, and then looked at Mu You in surprise: "It turns out that the video was posted by you!"
"Oh? Have you seen it too?" Mu You asked. So it seems that the scope of his video transmission is quite wide.
"Of course, your video was edited by many people and reposted on various platforms. Many people in my circle of friends are posting it. It's hard not to see it." Song Wenjing said.
"What video?" Chen Yichuan was a little at a loss, he didn't pay much attention to these hot spots on the Internet.
"A video of a chocobo race has been very popular these two days." Song Wenjing explained, and then saw a row of fish tanks not far away, and hurriedly approached it.
"Ice Angel! Light Fiend! 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 reserves of these professional scholars.
When he started Potions, he had studied Vivienne's book on animal materials, but there were still many animals that he didn't recognize when he first saw them, so he had to rely on the Omniscient Crystal to identify them.
As a result, everyone here seems to be able to call out their names, and the average person is a master of magical zoology.
Chen Yichuan was much calmer than Song Wenjing, scanning the creatures in the space one by one.
To his satisfaction, these animals are all in good condition, and except for the fish, they are basically in a free-moving state, which shows that the breeders have fed them well, at least they are not the kind of animals that are crazily squeezed for profit and treat animals as surplus. Businessman with tools.
But he soon lost his composure.
While sweeping across a certain corner of the space, Chen Yichuan suddenly noticed that on the grass over there, a creature like a white radish was facing away from them.
"Mandrake?"
Chen Yichuan exhaled suddenly, and instinctively walked quickly, wanting to see clearly.
The mandrake was just transferred to this new space by Mu You this morning, and he is busy digging a hole for himself to make a house.
Halfway through the work, I suddenly felt movement behind me. When I looked back, I saw an old face staring at it. His eyes were like a hungry wolf seeing a sheep, and he was frightened. Enough, subconsciously screamed: "Wow..."
But as soon as it called out, it felt that its mouthpiece was blocked, and it could no longer make a sound.
In the distance, Mu You put away his wand, and looked at Song Wenjing at the side strangely: "Is your dean reliable? The cry of a mandrake can cause coma. This should be common sense, right?"
"Cough, of course I know this, the dean was just careless..."
Song Wenjing was also very 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 old Mandrake, with a relatively docile personality and will not yell casually.
It was the first time they had seen such a young mandrake, so it was no wonder that the old dean was excited.
Just now, Mu You blocked the mandrake's voice by sealing his throat and tongue in time, but they still heard the short voice before, that voice full of spirit, obviously this mandrake is not only young, Still very healthy.
"By the way, you are too unprofessional. Mandrakes are very timid animals, especially afraid of humanoid creatures. Generally, shouldn't they be isolated with sound insulation devices?" Song Wenjing said.
"Ah, my mandrake is more...extroverted."
Mu You said and walked over there. At this time, the mandrake was still buried in the pit and trembling, not caring about his back, not because he didn't want to run, but because he was blocked in a corner by this old man and couldn't get out, otherwise slipped away early.
As soon as Mu You found him approaching, the Mandrake fled behind him as if seeing a savior, grabbing his trouser legs and hiding.
"Mandrakes are actually dependent on humans? It's amazing... Could it be that this is a unique characteristic of young Mandrakes?" Song Wenjing looked at this scene and said in surprise, then took out a small notebook from her body, and jotted it down on it. something.
"Uh...I'm afraid this is not..." Lin Xue was a little amused.
She knows how the Mandrake usually treats Mu You. Usually, seeing Mu You is like a primary school student meeting the head teacher, and she hides far away.
Today, it can only be said that it encountered a more terrifying two-legged beast. Relatively speaking, Mu You is more trustworthy. At most, it will give it an injection to draw blood, and it will not really hurt it.
Chen Yichuan also knew that his actions caused an oolong, and made the young man see a joke. The old man blushed, and immediately stepped back a few steps, but he couldn't help but look at Mu You and ask, "Where did you get these creatures?" here?"
"Some of them were picked up by accident. The fish were all caught in the game and sent back through the door... In addition, I signed an agreement with a pet store in the Protoss world, and I can buy some non-sterilized pets from the other party. A magical creature." Mu You said.
Why does he have so many magical animals? If he doesn't say it, people will always doubt it. It's better to say it yourself. His contract with that black cat pet shop was a perfect cover.
"oh?"
Chen Yichuan nodded when he heard the words, and didn't ask any more questions.
Being able to get in touch with a local pet merchant in another world, this is a personal encounter, not forced, he can only envy it.
However, it is a good thing for the other party to have such a channel. As a biological research department, they may need to find the other party to cooperate in the future.
The so-called inspection is not complicated, mainly in two aspects.
One is to determine the species, make a clear classification for the organism, and determine whether it is a beneficial or harmful organism. Creatures that can pass approval and be used as commodities can only be creatures that are not dangerous to humans.
The second is to detect some specific infectious bacteria and clarify the food chain of organisms. Some magical creatures with excessive reproduction ability are released on the earth on a large scale, which can easily destroy the original biological chain of the earth. As the supervision department, they must estimate these risks well.
There is no problem with Mu You in these two aspects. He has a special sterilization tool in his hand, and the animals sold must be neutered. Those who are not neutered are kept in the store and raised by themselves, so that they will not spread. If you go out, there will be no problems such as affecting the ecological chain.
The inspections are going on smoothly.
But not long after the inspection started, Song Wenjing suddenly let out a cry from a distance.
"Dean, come and see what kind of creature this is?"
"What?" Chen Yichuan was a little surprised, Song Wenjing was considered one of his best students, and there were creatures she didn't even know?
Chen Yichuan walked over to Song Wenjing, and looked in the direction she pointed.
There is a large fish tank, in which are dozens of immature frogs, with a seed cyst about the size of the body growing on the back.
"Is this a flower frog?" Chen Yichuan subconsciously said.
"I know it looks like a flower frog, but flower frogs are generally poisonous, and this frog's toxicity test is zero, and..." Wearing rubber gloves, Song Wenjing turned over a small frog in her hand, exposing its belly, and pointed at the frog. The breeding belt on the stomach: "Is there a breeding bag on the stomach of the flower planting frog?"
Chen Yichuan was also a little surprised at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to take out a frog and observed it carefully, but the more he looked at it, the more confused he became.
The two exchanged in low voices, and finally looked at Mu You together: "What kind of creature is this?"
"This is called Miao Frog Seed." Mu You said.
"Wonderful Frog Seed?"
Chen Yichuan frowned, pondered for a while, and then looked at Song Wenjing: "Is this name recorded in the 'Encyclopedia of Vertebrate Creatures in the Star Spirit World'?"
"No... right?" Song Wenjing was also a little uncertain.
That book was written by a great traveler from another world. There are tens of thousands of species of vertebrates recorded, but many of them only have one name, and she is not sure if she has memorized them all.
"Oh, this frog is a new species born from the hybridization of two frogs. It has not been named in the astral world. The Miao Frog Seed is my own name." Mu You explained.
"New species?"
The surprise of the two of them was no small matter. The unnamed new species was not discovered by the natives of the Protoss world, but was discovered by the people on Earth first?
"what happened?"
"Details!"
Thinking about it, Mu You has nothing to hide, anyway, it will be released sooner or later, and it is not difficult to guess that this frog is a combination of those two frogs just by looking at its characteristics, so he simply told the two of them what happened.
"Planting flower frog and pocket toad...these two kinds of frogs are not reproductively isolated?"
Chen Yichuan and Song Wenjing were very surprised when they heard this. One of these two frogs is poisonous and the other is non-toxic. Generally, it is impossible to combine, but the creature in front of them subverted their cognition.
Song Wenjing hastily recorded new knowledge in the notebook.
Surprised by the new species, the two continued to work. After a busy morning, they finally finished testing all the magical creatures.
The results are naturally all qualified.
Dean Chen personally participated, and the subsequent procedures were given the green light all the way. By 3:30 in the afternoon, all the procedures were completed, and the whole process took less than six hours, and Mu You got the documents that passed the review.
Compared to the huge number of animals he brought, this is really an incredible speed.
After all the procedures were successfully completed, Mu You also heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that it was getting late, he prepared to leave.
It turned out that 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 holding his backpack, feeling a little headache, why didn't he let him go?
"You have brought so many precious alien animals, are you... sure you can raise them?" Chen Yichuan said pointedly.
Mu You looked at each other strangely: "Dean Chen, what do you mean?"
"I won't say anything else, but you have to keep a batch of Frog Seed and Silver Owl, especially Frog Seed...Of course, the ownership is still yours, we just help you raise it!" Chen Yichuan said.
Mu You understood what he meant, and said speechlessly, "Dean Chen, I'm going to use these wonderful frog seeds to open a shop."
"What kind of store are you opening? Are you using such a precious creature to open a store? Are those raised by ordinary people?" Chen Yichuan stared.
"This... doesn't seem to be difficult to raise, right?" Mu You said.
According to his observations during this period of time, the survival ability of magical animals is still very strong, and it is completely feasible to follow the general pet raising method, and there is no threshold.
"This is a new species... So how about it, I will cover all the price you sell!" Chen Yichuan said proudly.
All inclusive... You are going to be a second-hand dealer!
Mu You shook his head: "I'm sorry, but the store's products are temporarily limited to one per person!"
"Is there still a purchase limit?"
Chen Yichuan frowned, and blurted out: "Then the people I lead in the research institute can buy one for each of them, right?"
"...Old Dean, you are acting like a scalper..." Mu You looked at Chen Yichuan even more strangely. Although he understood that the old man's intention was to keep a few more for research, he didn't expect him to work so hard for it, and he didn't care about his face.
"Then I can't control it, you can set the price, but we must keep some of these two animals for research!" The old man said plainly.
"It's not impossible to keep 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. But, if there is something to give, there is something to be gained, and of course the benefits that should be obtained must be fought for.
"Tell me what conditions!" Chen Yichuan also understood that the other party wanted to raise conditions.
"Dean Chen, I see that you have produced enough magical animals here, why don't you get me a few that I don't have there, and let's exchange them?" Mu You glanced at the big animals in the base. Compared with the dozens of animals in his backpack, the biological training room is the real treasure house of magical creatures!
Chen Yichuan's face suddenly became very exciting when he heard the words, good boy, he hasn't got the animal from the other party yet, and the other party started to play tricks on his creatures instead.
"Don't worry, Dean Chen, I promise to take good care of them, and the creatures 'borrowed' from you will only be used for exhibition and will not be sold." Mu You laughed.
Although Chen Yichuan was reluctant, he also knew that this was already the result of the other party's concession. What's more, he was still thinking about the channel of Muyou, an animal trader in another world, so he didn't insist on it at this time.
Then the two had a tug-of-war of saliva on how to 'exchange'.
This operation stunned Song Wenjing and Lin Xue, who were watching on the sidelines. The dignified dean of the Academy of Sciences, why did he act like an aunt buying vegetables in the vegetable market, haggling with people on the basis of weight and weight.
Two hours later, the discussion between the two finally came to an end.
In the end, Muyou paid 10 healthy silver owls, half male and half female, and 12 frog seeds.
In addition, when Muyou buys from alien pet merchants in the future, if there are no or special creatures in the base, he needs to help the Academy of Sciences to buy some without affecting his business. Of course, consumption Fully reimbursed by the Academy of Sciences.
As for Muyou, he finally got two salamanders, four ferrets, two moon idiots, a chaka dragon, a one-horned stag, and a butterfly-eared dog, all of which are gentle and non-aggressive. magical creature.
In addition, Mu You and Lin Xue also obtained an internal account of the website of the Alien Research Department of the Academy of Sciences. Only by confirming their identities and fingerprints can they enter. They can browse various zoological materials for free, but they cannot download them, and they cannot copy them. .
After the discussion, Mu You and Lin Xue did not stay in the capital either. Lin Xue declined Song Wenjing's invitation to stay overnight, and the two rushed back to City K overnight.
