Beast Taming: Starting from Transmigration and Starting with a Cheat Code

Once the contract formation was complete, the little flying squirrel seemed to have something to rely on. It lay on Qin Ming's palm and, taking advantage of Huo Lin's distraction, put on a fierce look.

He grinned quietly and made two noises, the curses were a bit vulgar, and Qin Ming couldn't translate them.

Huo Lin, who had been lost in thought, sensed something and his gaze returned to focus.

The little flying squirrel sensed something amiss. He closed his eyes, quickly lay down, and pulled Qin Ming's fingers to cover himself.

This attempt to cover up the truth only made Qin Ming chuckle in disbelief.

Huo Lin was clearly not so easily fooled. There were only a few creatures present, so he used the process of elimination and stepped forward without hesitation.

The little flying squirrel glimpsed this scene through its fingers, and suddenly shuddered, "Human, save the squirrel!"

This time, Qin Ming couldn't hold back any longer, "Pfft~".

"Stop laughing, *sobs*"

Despite the laughter, Qin Ming stopped Huo Lin from his potentially reckless playful antics.

The treasure-hunting rat is a legendary mythical creature whose existence is mostly found in human imagination and is not reliably recorded in official history.

Only now, with the contract of the treasure-hunting rat unilaterally recognizing its master established and even after a few playful exchanges, did Qin Ming feel a sense of relief that everything had finally settled down.

[Name]: Treasure Hunting Mouse

[Attribute]: Illusion

[Talent]: Treasure Hunting, Feigning Death

[Evaluation]: He possesses innate wisdom, able to see through the unseen realms. Having successfully transformed, he has an almost terrifying intuitive sense for all kinds of rare and precious treasures.

Although they lack direct combat abilities, they possess a unique talent for survival.

……

The world's great wonders.

If we only consider strength, the Treasure Rat is definitely not worthy of his reputation, after all, even his talent comes with such a cowardly way of saving his life.

But his abilities are so special that who in the world doesn't like treasures?

The Treasure-Hunting Rat can be of great help in terms of resource consumption during cultivation and advancement, and even in certain fortuitous encounters. No one or beast can refuse this mysterious and special ability.

"Awoo~ The treasure-hunting rat doesn't have much combat ability, but it loves treasure hunting and always goes into dangerous places. So as soon as it wakes up, it will instinctively seek out a strong person it can trust to form a contract for its life."

"But the place where treasure-hunting rats can be born and nurtured is by no means simple. It is usually guarded by powerful spirit beasts, or even divine beasts. So, this should be the first case of a rat being contracted in human society."

"But I'm clearly stronger and can make him feel safer, I just don't understand..."

Huo Lin was annoyed at the missed opportunity, but he still generously shared the information he knew with Qin Ming.

"But Qin Ming, how did you figure out that this little mouse has the potential to transform?" Huo Lin asked curiously.

The treasure-hunting rat has no special features in appearance. It's amazing that it was able to find such a rare creature in the vast herd of beasts.

"Just...look with your eyes..."

Looking at Huo Lin's adorable baby teeth, Qin Ming changed his tune, "Okay, mainly it's because he looked down on my array crystal formation..."

"That's certainly quite special."

Huo Lin interrupted Qin Ming before he could finish speaking, saying that he had figured it out himself, but it seemed that he had been reminded of something important.

"Where is my customized delicacy?"

"..."

Qin Ming's speechless smile contained a hint of cunning. "Of course there are, but there are losses during the research process..."

"Then why did you use my blood to feed the rats! No, how could you use my blood to feed the rats?" Huo Lin belatedly realized.

Qin Ming was completely speechless. Why was he being targeted with settling scores later? Before he could even explain...

Huo Lin cheered, "Great! Little Fatty can't steal my food anymore!"

! ! ? ?

Qin Ming managed to maintain a calm demeanor, but his heart was in turmoil. He took out the crimson core he had acquired not long ago, "Fire Scale, your customized service."

Eat quickly, and then forget about it.

Huo Lin, unsuspecting, was successfully distracted by Qin Ming and swallowed the food with satisfaction.

Qin Ming silently counted in his mind, 3, 2, 1, down!

Huo Lin yawned widely, still sleepy-eyed, but wouldn't go to sleep. "Qin Ming, why are you staring at me like that?"

"Why aren't you sleeping this time?" Qin Ming asked hesitantly.

"How can I sleep if you're watching me like this?"

"Is there anything else?" Huo Lin asked considerately, fighting off his sleepiness.

How could Qin Ming bear to do this? He said gently, "It's alright, go to sleep."

Once Huo Lin had closed his eyes and fallen asleep, the Treasure-Seeking Rat poked his head out again, opening his mouth as if to curse.

Fire Kirin rolled over and murmured in its sleep, "Treasure-hunting mouse, hehe~"

The treasure-hunting mouse shuddered in fright and collapsed to the ground again.

Qin Ming was both amused and exasperated. These two clowns, Little Flying Squirrel, why did you provoke him? He's a devil.

Helplessly, he picked up Huo Lin, only to hear the other murmur again, "Little Fatty, hehe~"

This time, it was Qin Ming's turn not to laugh.

……

After filling out application number 740, Qin Ming took the treasure-hunting rat away.

Back in the dormitory, none of my roommates were there. It was understandable that Brother Shen had asked for leave and left the camp, but what was going on with Zeng Gui'an... Oh, he was still taking extra classes.

Enjoying his private space, Qin Ming happily summoned his spirit beasts to let them get to know each other.

"Little Fatty, Keda, Cangxuan, this is the Treasure-Seeking Rat. His abilities are very special, but he lacks self-defense capabilities, so please take good care of him."

"Treasure-hunting rats, these are all my partners."

"Gah~"

Keda was the first to greet them and carefully used her skills to heal the bruises on the treasure-hunting rat.

"Aww~"

Cang Xuan murmured and used the power of life from the power of decay and prosperity to invigorate the somewhat listless treasure-hunting rat.

He even shrunk to the smallest possible size to reduce the pressure on the treasure-hunting rat.

Seeing this, Little Fatty followed suit and used the Xuan Turtle Protection technique with even greater skill.

"Eek~"

Bathed in beams of light that symbolized healing and protection, the Treasure-Seeking Mouse's eyes welled up with tears.

With Huo Lin's performance as an example, he had never been as grateful for his choice as he was at this moment.

"Aww, Mouse is going to take everyone to find treasure! From now on, whatever you want, Mouse will take care of it!"

"Tell me roughly where you can sense the treasure."

"Eek~" The treasure-hunting mouse's eyes darted around, and it started gesturing.

While communicating, Qin Ming checked the map and soon the sign for the Red Forbidden Zone came into view. Next…

The outer perimeter of the Red Forbidden Zone, but it's moving at high speed? Maybe we should move on to the next one...

After hitting a series of setbacks, Qin Ming, seeing that the treasure-hunting rat was becoming less confident, decided to take a break.

Wild treasures are likely protected by powerful guardians, especially in inherently dangerous places.

Before Qin Ming fully understood the Treasure-Seeking Rat's abilities, he wasn't keen on taking any risks.

Of course, most importantly, Qin Ming knew of a relatively safe place, a vast and resource-rich area, perfect for beginners to explore and hunt for treasure...
