Darrell found Qi Ran strangely cute.

The passageway is U-shaped; you go in at one end and come out at the other.

Once outside, Darrell looked at Qi Ran's relaxed expression and asked, "How are you feeling?"

"You're really amazing, raising so many." Qi Ran admired him.

"It's not that difficult, really. You just need to understand their habits." Darrell smiled confidently, his golden hair as dazzling as he was.

A few days passed like this.

Qi Ran has completely adapted to life in the orphanage.

In the afternoon, he went to the lab. Black Ball was noticeably less excited and obediently started eating.

But the black ball prefers meat, which suggests it's a dangerous monster; it doesn't eat any grass.

Qi Ran noted down the black ball's eating habits and then threw in another piece of meat.

The black sphere used its liquid body to wrap the flesh, and it was unclear what it used to digest it.

Qi Ran watched it eat, watching it spit out the leaves it didn't like.

"You're a picky eater."

The black ball froze, then continued to twist, pushing the leaves even further away.

"The leaves are delicious too."

Black Ball didn't believe it; he didn't like it, and this large piece of food didn't suit his taste.

"Black Ball, can you understand me?" Qi Ran asked.

As mentioned in the plot, the male protagonist is an intelligent monster with a strong learning ability. After maturing, he can imitate the appearance of an adult and produce more than 20,000 kinds of toxins.

Qi Ran's body is that of an orphan who lacks love.

In the story, he will fall in love with the monster he raised.

After the male protagonist learns to speak, he notices his caregiver's flaws and uses this to escape.

The black ball twisted its body, arrogant and unwilling to pay any attention to Qi Ran.

Qi Ran opened the cover, touched it; it was soft, like a black lump...

Qi Ran put it back in.

Two weeks later, all the newly arrived caregivers had to go to the training room for a meeting.

Qi Ran looked completely bewildered as she looked at the anatomical diagram.

Fortunately, he was interviewing for a basic caregiver position, which didn't require him to participate in such an anatomical experiment; he was just there to get a general understanding.

After the meeting, all the caretakers went to the dissection laboratory to watch the director personally dissect a monster.

The monster had evolved, taking on a humanoid form. It was anesthetized, its limbs were reinforced, and when it was cut open, there was no blood; instead, a green, glowing liquid flowed out.

Dean Tomina said, "This is the blood of the River Clan. They have a long lifespan, and their blood is the most valuable research subject. You all see, the River Clan has no sense of pain, and their wounds heal automatically."

Qi Ran saw that after Dean Tomina stopped, the wounds of the monster that looked like a hybrid of a crocodile and a zebra healed.

After enduring the lab class, I can finally go out.

Qi Ran returned to her dormitory, took a shower, and was about to rest when the doorbell rang.

"Who?"

He didn't open the door; the screen showed that Kaya was outside.

"Sister Kaya," Qi Ran opened the door and asked curiously, "Is there something you need?"

"Qi Ran, your monster has escaped. Go find it quickly. I've sealed off that area for you." Kaya's voice was serious as she pulled Qi Ran outside.

Qi Ran was also startled. Without having time to change her clothes, she ran after them in her pajamas.

When they arrived at the laboratory entrance, the black ball was indeed gone.

The glass cover shattered, and it escaped from inside.

It wasn't in the room.

"It's in that lab in the rainforest. Qi Ran, go find it. I'll block it here for you. Just drive it out."

"it is good."

Qi Ran ran to the rainforest laboratory, where they were simulating rain. He glanced at it and, sure enough, saw a black ball on a tree.

"Black ball!"

The black ball didn't move; it looked like it had eaten too much and was very swollen.

"Black Ball, come down." Qi Ran stood under the tree, tiptoed to try to get him down, but the dead thing moved up a little further.

Qi Ran: "..."

"If you don't come back, I won't give you any good meat next time; I'll give you leaves instead."

The black ball twisted its body, as if it were laughing in anger, and spat out a mouthful of liquid, smearing it all over Qi Ran's face.

The liquid was sticky, and Qi Ran had to use a lot of effort to scrape it off.

By the time he finished cleaning, the black ball had already moved.

"Don't go into the black ball; there are many poisonous monsters there."

But the black ball ignored Qi Ran's words, and with a series of jumps, it leaped three meters high and disappeared into the forest.

Qi Ran remembered Darrell saying that his monsters liked quiet.

Qi Ran cautiously walked in and saw the black ball on the top of a man-made rockery.

It swallowed another of Darrell's monsters, which had grown from the size of a palm to the size of a balloon, almost the size of a human head.

"Black Ball, will you come back with me? I'll give you meat, lots and lots of delicious meat, all your favorites," Qi Ran coaxed it, carefully climbing up as she did so.

The black ball has no eyes, but it can always detect Qi Ran's movements.

Just as Qi Ran was about to hug it, it jumped up and dodged away again.

Qi Ran slipped and fell backward.

He hit the back of his head on a rock, and blood started flowing instantly.

Qi Ran found herself unable to move.

He seemed to have broken his spine and some nerves; warm blood flowed from the wound like water, leaving Qi Ran dazed.

Suddenly, something came over.

Qi Ran suspected that Darrell's monsters were not the real thing; it was something softer that enveloped him.

His head was completely enveloped by the black ball's body, as if wearing a protective shield, and the black ball healed Qi Ran's wounds.

After leaving, Qi Ran's breathing became steady, and apart from the blood-stained clothes being a bit gruesome, everything else returned to normal.

In the surveillance footage, Dean Tomina's smile deepened. "This thing does indeed have healing abilities, but it's also highly poisonous. Qi Ran did a great job; he has a deep bond with it, and it was willing to save him."

Kaya, however, did not think so.

There are many reasons why monsters might save people.

Not everything is good.

"Kaya, are you pitying him?"

Tomina looked at her android assistant with a half-smile, her tone icy.

"Quite a few people have died at your hands, haven't they? Don't put on that hypocritical face, Kaya. You're a machine, so you should act like one."

"Yes..." Kaya left the office to pick up Qi Ran and take her back.

Just as Dean Tomina said, Granz is not as friendly as it seems.

Human sacrifice is worthwhile in the face of all interests.

Even though they don't know what they will face as zookeepers.

It's ridiculous.

The highly paid zookeepers were just one of the ways to test the monsters.

Dean Tomina was eager to know whether the monster would fall in love with its caretaker.

Although in previous experiments the breeders were either eaten or killed on the spot by the monsters, this could not deter the bloody experiment.

The next morning, Qi Ran woke up with a dizzy head, but no pain.

After washing up, he went to the cafeteria for a meal. He saw Kaya waving at him, so he smiled and went over to share a table with her.

"Sister Kaya, did you take me home yesterday?"

"Hmm, did you sleep well?"

"Great, did you find the black ball?"

"He's locked up." Kaya offered Qi Ran a drink, picked up a glass and pushed it in front of Qi Ran, "This is a new flavor, try it."

"Thank you." Qi Ran took a sip; it did taste very good. "It's quite delicious."

"I'm glad you like it," Kaya said with a smile, chatting about the scenery on Granz and the surrounding cities.

Although Granz is not fully developed, it is well worth exploring the edge of the forest.
