A Lab Rat?

As he checked the time, before anything else, he had to get the pets examined.

"Oh , you are Wen Yu, right? The boy with the mega monster pet, do you work here?"

Just like that, he entered a conversation with him and started strolling toward the front desk, well, when one had two important things to do, they just had to make them work together, especially when the things had the same inclination.

Since Wen Yu worked here, and the boy seemed he had something he wished to know, he could as well take advantage of that.

But it seemed he would have to wait for him after getting the pets examined.

"Dr. Yu, where have you been? Your attention is needed" an exasperated voice rang out from one of the inner corridors. It was a lady in a nurse uniform, the uniform seemed tight, clearly accentuating her perfect curves.

Wen Yu feigned an embarrassed expression, and before Rheo knew it, the lady had started dragging the youth away.

"It seemed he is pretty popular, as expected of a talented first-class monster breeder.

But he has the habit of running away from duties"

Rheo trudged lightly toward the front desk, there, a beautiful nurse in her early twenties was seated while scribbling on some sheet of paper.

There was a monster pet standing beside her, it was a poodle with a silvery coat of furs, it had a nurse cap designed with a red cross on its head, with a calm look, it watched as the nurse hand scribbled away on the sheet of paper.

[Monster: Purple Blood Poodle]

[Level: 7]

[Grade: Iron (contracted)]

[Type: Healing]

[Stats: STR 6 | AGI 8 | END 7 | INT 30 ]

Skills:

[Purple Blood: A Universal Donor Blood that can heal mild negative status effects]

That would make for a good healing-type pet in battle. But a pack of syringes will be needed to be carried around.

As if she was just noticing the looming figure, the nurse raised her head and met Rheo's gaze, A thin warm smile immediately spread on her lips.

"How can I help you?"

"I want to get my pets examined, a Ninbunny and Steel-feather Thunder Falcon"

She looked up at Raizen who perched quietly on his shoulder, then he shifted aside and pointed to Ninbunny who was still hiding behind him.

"Ok, you will need to put down some few details, then you can go and wait for a few minutes to be called"

The nurse found a sheet of paper and slipped it to Rheo.

"Write down your name and contact in the pet guardian section and the pet names in the monster pet section"

Rheo checked the note, everything was pretty set up in a simple way so there was no need to ask any questions.

As he turned to find a platform to fill the form, Wen Yu popped up in front of him.

He looked somewhat stressed, it must be hard to have a big responsibility.

"You want to get your pets examined?" Wen Yu's gloomy expression suddenly changed to a brightened one, and even Rheo couldn't help but wonder what this was about.

"I may not look it but I'm a two-star first-class breeder. I work at the emergency department but don't worry, I've got you"

Rheo tried to reprocess what just passed through his ears, his brow furrowed, did he just say two-star first class? It had only been a month since he had become a first-class monster breeder, yet, he had actually ranked two stars in the profession.

As his mind was revolving around these thoughts, he heard a greeting from the nurse.

"Good day, Dr. Yu, Hope the evolution operation went well"

Rheo turned to look, the nurse had a very bright smile as if looking at her mentor, and she greeted with respect.

"As always, thanks"

Wen Yu waved and turned to him.

"See, I told yah"

Looking at him, his expression resembled someone who takes pride in what they do.

But what he didn't understand was why the boy wanted to further his education into Ranger Academy, where status was decided by students' accomplishments in battle.

Well, he seemed to know one or two things about monster evolution. He might fare well if he evolved his pet to a powerful grade.

"Okay, I'll take you up on the offer," Rheo said, patting his shoulder. Since he hadn't filled in any details, he went back to return the form.

Let's see if he could evolve one of my pets.

Rheo didn't even know when a mischievous grin spread across his lips.

This was the main branch, and it was also equipped with the latest technologies that made it worthy of being the main branch of the Azure Dragon Evolver Pet Center, owned by a prominent dragon tamer clan.

And Rheo knew that they would charge quite a lot just to have a pet examined.

Perhaps he could sweet-talk Wen Yu into not collecting anything.

After returning the form, he came back to Wen Yu, this guy had this expression as if he wanted to show him what he could do.

Rheo knew he was capable, after all, it was so rare to see a fifteen-year-old youth become a two-star first-class monster breeder in just a month.

This was just a way to take advantage of him, so he had to play dumb.

"Wen Yu, we will become really good friends if you can show me what you have got today, of course, I still have my doubts, but I will try to entrust the pets in your care"

Rheo didn't know he could sweet talk like this, just before his very eyes, he could see that the youth was getting pumped up.

This way, please...

Wen Yu pointed to an empty corridor, and then he took the lead while Rheo followed behind.

They continued strolling through the corridor of the big hospital, compared to other corridors, this one was less busy and almost eerily quiet enough to let him question where they are really going.

"This section is the Cultivation and Evolution department, no one is allowed here except the people in charge of breeding and evolving monster pets"

Wen Yu started explaining.

"Then why me?"

Well, he have to question that, he could have just asked him to take a seat and only took the pets for the medical test, he couldn't possibly do anything bad, after all, he would know since he could telepath with Raizen.

Wen Yu did something that made Rheo's brow furrowed in alert. He turned back and met his gaze, then he smiled.

"Well, It is an exception for letting me check the thunder falcon, it is a species with two odd elements, Earth and Electric. There is no combination of such element".

His gaze locked onto Raizen, and an intense greedy light sparked in his eyes.

One thought immediately loomed in Rheo's mind.

Is he talking about a lab rat?
