“A penalty is still required,” Chen Yixin smiled merrily as she looked at Shao Zifeng, “but how to penalize you is entirely up to me, so let’s say skipping lunch counts as your punishment.”

Seeing her nonchalant demeanor, Shao Zifeng opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.

After all, this matter involved a nation and definitely wasn’t as simple as she made it seem.

But since she didn’t mention it, he felt it inappropriate to ask.

He could only make a mental note to repay the favor later when the opportunity arose.

Seeing Shao Zifeng sitting motionless, Chen Yixin asked, “Is there anything else? If not, I need to get back to work.”

“Um, there is a little thing.”

“Go ahead.” Chen Yixin pushed her computer away and fixed her hair, looking at him intently.

“Here’s the thing, I used the Mobile Contract Array you gave me to contract a pet beast, but I never had time to register it, so…”

“You contracted a new pet beast?”

At that news, Chen Yixin’s eyes lit up.

Having seen the first two pet beasts that Shao Zifeng had contracted, she was quite eager to see the third.

“Let me see it quickly.”

Shao Zifeng pulled a giant clam shell from his pocket and placed it on the desk, “Here’s the fellow.”

“Giant clam?” Chen Yixin’s expression shifted slightly, “This is an endangered species, registering this will require approval.”

“No, no, it’s just a clam.”

Shao Zifeng quickly waved his hands, then opened the giant clam shell to reveal a pool-like Mirage Beibei.

“What’s this inspection you mentioned?”

“Wow, it’s so cute!” Chen Yixin poked the squishy body of Mirage Beibei, her face showing a girlish expression.

Shao Zifeng’s mouth twitched, the facial expression she made was a bit incongruous, sister.

“Endangered species inspection, yeah, that thing is a bit tricky; just know that if it’s explicitly listed as endangered, even I can’t register it directly,” Chen Yixing absentmindedly played with Mirage Beibei’s body as she responded.

“So if… if I encountered an ancient species in Antarctica, would that need an inspection too?”

This was a crucial question as Shao Zifeng’s identity as a Combat Training Master was issued by the Underground Management Department of Su City, and he was unsure whether his background would pass the inspection.

Chen Yixin thought for a moment and said, “I don’t think so; the inspection regime only applies to those already listed as endangered species, so you’re safe.”

While they talked, the disturbed Mirage Beibei furrowed its small brows.

It stretched a tiny hand from its soft body and rubbed its eyes.

“Beibei~”

Upon opening its eyes, it saw a strange face up close.

Mirage Beibei instinctively stiffened, its eyes went blank, and its mouth parted slightly, dripping clear liquid.

Chen Yixin: ? ? ?

She poked it with her hand, but Mirage Beibei remained unresponsive, its eyes vacant.

“Zifeng, is your pet beast an idiot?”

“Not really, it just pretends to be dumb around strangers,” Shao Zifeng said with a wry smile as he looked at Mirage Beibei.

“Oh!” Chen Yixin nodded thoughtfully and then scrutinized Mirage Beibei carefully.

Pushing up her glasses, Chen Yixin said doubtfully, “I’ve seen plenty of clams, but it’s my first time seeing one without a shell; you aren’t tricking me, are you?”

“Or,” Chen Yixin’s breathing quickened, “is this a case of atavistic evolution?”

“No, no,” Shao Zifeng waved his hands frantically, “There aren’t that many mutant creatures that have undergone atavistic evolution.”

The information showed it was a lineage inheritance, it didn’t mention atavistic evolution, so he wasn’t technically lying, right?

“Indeed,” Chen Yixin nodded, “where comes so much atavistic evolution.”

“Leave the registration to me, you just sit and wait a while.”

…

After registering and leaving Chen Yixin’s office, Shao Zifeng decided to first check out the Silver Fern gifted by the Campbell family.

Carrying the proof issued by Chen Yixin, he took the elevator to the helicopter hangar.

The parked helicopters still bore faint traces of combat.

In fact, the helicopters occupied only a very small area of the entire warehouse; the containers stacked behind contained some items sensitive to cold.

Among them were Shao Zifeng’s Silver Ferns.

“Containers 95-96, these two right here, do you need our help opening them?”

The watchful crew member, holding Shao Zifeng’s proof, walked over to two white containers placed side by side.

Shao Zifeng looked over and noticed that each container was about two meters wide and tall, and around six meters long, making them relatively small for containers.

Yet even so, the Silver Ferns in the two containers were quite intimidating.

“That would be great, thank you.”

The crew member nodded, then called a few more people over, and together they opened the containers.

After thanking the crew, Shao Zifeng just stepped into the container when a burst of herby fragrance hit him, the whole container was filled with fresh Silver Fern.

Picking up a Silver Fern, Shao Zifeng examined it closely.

Ferns, like dinosaurs, were signatures of the ‘reptilian era’, once the most prosperous plants on Earth, witnessed the extinction of dinosaurs and the rise of humanity, thriving on Earth for nearly 200 million years.

There are about 12,000 species of ferns worldwide, with over 2,600 in Daxia, but the Silver Fern is unique to Westland Island.

Unlike most modern plants, ferns do not flower, bear fruit, or have seeds but reproduce by splitting spores.

The back of the Silver Fern is different in color from the front, displaying a silvery hue that can reflect the gleam of stars and moons.

Turning over the Silver Fern, and looking at its silvery back, Shao Zifeng’s expression slowly changed.

Having been inside for so long, the persistent blue light points in his peripheral vision had not triggered any energy feedback.

The delay on this add-on might be high, but not to this extent.

Shao Zifeng picked up another Silver Fern, staring closely at it for a long time, yet still no reaction.

His expression turned ugly, he dropped the Silver Fern in his hand and picked up another.

Nothing.

Still nothing.

After a while, the Silver Ferns he had been discarding on the floor finally triggered a panel.

[Name]: Silver Fern Grass

[Attribute]: Wood

[Quality]:

[Condition]: Intact

[Description]: A medicinal Silver Fern Grass.

[Effect]: Prolonged use can slightly enhance the strength of wood-type mutant creatures and slightly increase wood-type aptitude.

Seeing the information on the Silver Fern in his hand, Shao Zifeng breathed a sigh of relief.

However, seeing so many attribute-less Silver Ferns piled up at his feet, he couldn’t help but worry whether he would find enough Silver Fern to restore the young deer.

It had to be said that the Silver Fern was truly an oddity in the plant kingdom; all plants with medicinal properties had the same effects, yet not every Silver Fern contained medicinal properties.

Moreover, despite the Silver Fern lady possessing atavistic evolution, the Silver Fern itself was not a mutant creature.

Looking at the plentiful Silver Ferns before him, Shao Zifeng took a deep breath and began searching earnestly.
