"As long as the X-rays can penetrate it, ordinary animals can generally be treated. Since animals are larger, they'll use up medicine quickly. I suggest buying more medical supply kits," the cold-faced stall owner said coldly.

Each medical supply kit contained five basic units of various medicines. In eighty percent of cases, these medicines would be enough to solve the problem. If they really weren't, there were also nanorobot drugs; even without medicine, physical treatment could still solve the issue.

"Can it treat magical beasts? Dragons, phoenixes, taotie, griffins, and things like that?" Kerry was still somewhat uneasy. There was no doubt that this robot could treat humans and ordinary beasts, but griffins could be considered magical beasts, and he didn't know whether it would work on them.

"X-rays aren't very useful on divine beasts. There still isn't a robot that can completely treat divine beasts like dragons and phoenixes, but there are a few robot models capable of treating mid- to high-grade magical beasts like griffins."

Kerry wasn't surprised that robots couldn't treat dragons and phoenixes. What he hadn't expected was that some robots could deal with ordinary magical beasts.

But the problem was, he hadn't seen a single one of those robots on the stall.

"Do you have one of those robots? I noticed you don't have anything like that on your stall." Kerry felt that his previous plan of buying old, weak, and sick magical beasts, bringing them home to heal, and then reselling them might actually have a chance.

The cold-faced stall owner lowered his head and rummaged through a small box beside him that looked like a toolbox. It was filled with robot models. They were probably all models available for sale, but Kerry didn't know why the owner hadn't taken them out. How were customers supposed to see them in such a small box?

"Found it." Kerry heard the stall owner mutter softly before showing him a white robot model.

This robot looked very similar to the robots from Mechanical Enemy. The main difference was the enormous medical case strapped to its back. The medical equipment was probably stored inside. Its name was the All-Purpose Medical Robot.

This medical robot could not only treat ninety percent of difficult and complicated illnesses, but also came with a massive database containing countless case records and clinical solutions for various beasts, magical beasts, aliens, and other life forms. It could also be brought to the Dimensional Exchange throughout its entire service life to update and share the database for free.

The griffin magical beast Kerry most wanted to see was included in the database as well.

Then it's you. Kerry ultimately spent 10,000 Points to buy the All-Purpose Medical Robot, then spent another 1,000 Points on a medical kit. He had originally planned to buy five, but at 1,000 Points each, they were too expensive. He would buy more after using this one up.

Including the various types of the fourteen Miner No. 5 robots he had bought earlier, each costing 5,000 Points, he had spent a total of 81,000 Points this time, as well as 100,000 Gene Fluid.

After selling the jellyfish, Kerry had only 100,000 Points left. He had nothing in particular he wanted to buy for the time being, so he left the Dimensional Exchange directly.

Although he had completed many transactions at the Dimensional Exchange this time, it had only taken half a day. The exchange opened at noon, and it still wasn't time for dinner.

Kerry had bought the medical robot, which was now designated Medical Unit 1.

He arrived at the shed that had been built separately for the Queen in the castle's backyard. The Queen was listlessly sprawled in the nest, resting.

Gandalf was truly quite capable. After eating the herbs he had prepared, the Queen no longer suffered unbearable pain, but she remained listless all the same.

"Queen, I'm here to see you. Come take a look at what I brought you." Kerry greeted the Queen. The Queen raised her head and glanced at him, wondering what he could have brought this time. He always brought food, but she didn't know what she would be eating today.

Without a sound, Medical Unit 1 appeared beside Kerry. Roar!! Its sudden appearance startled the Queen into standing up. What the hell?

Kerry naturally had no idea what the Queen thought Medical Unit 1 was. Seeing that she was frightened, he hurried to soothe her. It took quite some time before he convinced the Queen that this was her master's new puppet, one that could treat her illness.

The Queen wasn't stupid, but she wasn't particularly intelligent either. In any case, Kerry simply had her cooperate with the treatment, and the process wasn't completed until before dinner.

"Beep. Scanning initiated... Drawing blood and collecting samples... Blood pressure..." Medical Unit 1 kept conducting professional examinations with its hands while constantly reciting technical terms. About ten minutes later, Medical Unit 1 produced its preliminary results.

She was pregnant. Damn it, after all that, she really was pregnant. The crucial point was that Medical Unit 1 told Kerry the Queen had been pregnant for 260 months. It turned out that before the previous middleman had taken possession of the Queen five years earlier, the person before him had also kept her for more than five years. In other words, although griffins normally gave birth after two or three years, the Queen had been pregnant for more than ten years this time. Kerry had no idea how she had endured it. She truly was a great mother.

"I'm saving the mother!" A griffin that had been pregnant for over ten years despite having a gestation period of just over two years—Kerry had never even considered that the child might still be saved. It was probably a stillbirth.

"Master, both mother and child are safe now. The fetus simply hasn't matured because of malnutrition, and the mother is also extremely weak. I recommend giving her more nutritious supplements."

Medical Unit 1 was highly intelligent. The way it spoke was just like the doctors at the maternal and child health hospital in Kerry's previous life. Since both mother and child were safe, there was no question of choosing between saving the mother or the child.

"I have supplements." Kerry suddenly took out five Marrow Cleansing Fruits. But the question was, why hadn't she given birth after being pregnant for ten years? Fortunately, she had been raised by humans. If she had been wild, she probably would have died long ago.

Kerry really wanted to return to the Dimensional Exchange and ask the griffin shop from last time what was going on. But he decided to eat first. It was already mealtime. Recently, Mrs. Wesley's gaze had seemed a little strange whenever she looked at him. If he skipped the dinner she had prepared despite having no real reason to, the next meal would probably feature some kind of nutritious vegetable juice or other "nutritious" delicacy that was difficult to swallow.

A sumptuous dinner soon came to an end. Kerry wasn't the sort of person who mistreated himself. Ever since he had earned more than 1,000 Gold Coins in a single Copper Ore trade, Butler Carson had basically stopped interfering with Kerry's meals. As long as he ate healthily, it didn't matter even if he consumed ingredients worth a Gold Coin in one sitting. After all, the young master had ways to earn more.

"Mrs. Wesley, today's shark-fin soup was absolutely delicious. I think I should give you a raise," Kerry said after dinner.

Mrs. Wesley was naturally overjoyed, but what she really wanted was to introduce the lord to a suitable partner.

She had already arranged everything with her best friend. But the lord spent every day doing nothing and still showed no intention of finding a woman. Could it be that the young lord had started following that notion that men and women of different sexes shouldn't date?

Mrs. Wesley gritted her teeth. If he's into men, I don't have many resources on hand.

After dinner, Kerry ignored Mrs. Wesley's joy over getting a raise. Naturally, he had no idea about her disappointment at being unable to play matchmaker, either. He returned to his room and entered the Dimensional Exchange again.

This time, his target was the online shop that sold griffins.

He didn't know what kind of person the shop owner was. It seemed rude to ask questions without buying anything. Should he buy some feed that griffins liked? No, how could he let the Queen eat feed?

Kerry entered the online shop selling griffins with his thoughts running wild.
