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

"Keda...you...you really saw Lord Lanyuan? Did she really tell you that?"

Qin Ming's voice was slightly unsteady. Holding the delicate white lotus swaying in the wind, he felt like he was the one teetering on the edge of the storm...

He simply couldn't understand how Keda could have experienced such a fantastical underwater adventure in such a short time during his descent.

But at this moment, the details no longer mattered; all he wanted to know was how to handle Lan Yuanjun's final question.

Those who can reach the level of Lord Lanyuan and leave a promise are not people Qin Ming can casually comment on.

Whether there are hidden reasons, misunderstandings, or even a huge conspiracy or mole involved, Qin Ming has no idea based on the information he has.

If everything Keda sees and hears is true and has not been affected by strange energy, then...

To whom should he relay this message?

How can I explain that I went to the riverbank in the middle of the night instead of sleeping, not only did I meet the legendary Lord Lanyuan, but I also became a trustworthy messenger? This relationship is progressing rather quickly.

What's the difference between saying this and telling people back home on Earth that you "had a dream where a deity appeared to you"?

People and mythical creatures living along rivers and seas all have some degree of awe for the vast waters, but most are like Lord Ye who loved dragons but was terrified of them. How many truly believe in their existence and are fortunate enough to see the true face of the gods?

Of course, Qin Ming trusted his own company, Keda, and the Pure Lotus in his hand was proof of that. He just wanted to confirm it again.

"Huolin, in your opinion, can the news about Lord Lanyuan be confirmed as true?"

"If it's truly a regional spirit, with such a huge home-field advantage, you're making things difficult for me."

Huo Lin snorted and glared, saying irritably, "Her aura merged with the river flow; she didn't appear voluntarily, so who could find her?"

Now that we're separated by such a vast body of water, do you think I have clairvoyance and X-ray vision...?

Qin Ming smiled helplessly, his mind filled with countless thoughts. Adhering to the principle of "better safe than sorry" and unwilling to delay any possible intelligence, he took out his phone.

My first thought was to call Master Zheng directly. My master was in charge of the front-line command post, so he must know the overall deployment and details best. If there was any hidden information, with his experience, he wouldn't alert the enemy.

But the screen lit up, the glaring light displaying the time—4:04 AM.

Qin Ming's fingers paused, in this moment of utter silence, when even night owls would be dozing off.

It seems rather presumptuous to disturb an already exhausted elder with a bizarre, unverified piece of information.

It is also highly likely that the information will be shelved because its source is difficult to verify.

Qin Ming took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He then looked for his senior brother Zheng Wenjie's number, thinking it might be safer to ask his well-informed senior brother about the specific situation first.

He pressed the dial button and held the phone close to his ear.

Instead of the familiar ringtone, what came through the receiver was a broken, unsettling dial tone.

"Beep...beep...click...sizzle—"

Clearly, the onslaught of the beast tide outside the city and the pervasive toxic energy field have severely disrupted the stability of the psionic communication network, causing the signal to be completely cut off.

As the night deepened, a chilly river breeze swept by, leaving Qin Ming standing alone in the same spot.

Holding the pure lotus that seemed to embody vitality and hope, Qin Ming felt it was like a scalding hot potato.

Lan Yuanjun's second half of the question was like a heavy shackle, difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, impossible to verify, and the back-and-forth communication was likely to delay the opportunity.

The icy river wind chilled Qin Ming's forehead, but it couldn't dispel the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I'll stop thinking about it for now!

He currently has difficulty answering the second half of Lan Yuanjun's question, but he does have some ideas about the first half.

Adhering to the tried-and-true principle of "get the points you can get first, and leave the difficult ones for when you wake up," I've learned to do things right in the past.

Qin Ming made a very "Qin Ming" decision—to go back to "Blue Star" and get some sleep.

In his view, the key to obtaining lasting and powerful purifying energy lies in that mysterious golden bead.

After much exploration, he had already vaguely guessed the true nature of the golden pearl—it was most likely a gift from heaven, a kind of meritorious golden light, and the ultimate nemesis of all evil, filth, and hallucinatory energy.

Perhaps once he has accumulated enough gold beads, he will be able to turn the tide and purify the entire Qinglan River by himself?

Although he knew the idea was a bit far-fetched, Qin Ming couldn't help but dream about it with a happy heart. After all, one should always have dreams!

Filled with boundless anticipation for the golden light of merit, Qin Ming fell into a deep sleep at his home on Blue Star, hoping to receive some enlightenment in his dreams.

However... I had no dreams that night.

The next morning, he was impatiently woken up by the energetic Keda: "Hey~ Boss, get up! Don't sleep in!"

After meeting his idol, Keda's enthusiasm soared to an unprecedented level.

Qin Ming, forcibly dragged from his comfortable sleep, was still a little dazed. He hadn't found a perfect solution to purify the Qinglan River in his dream and was just thinking of going back to sleep to try again...

"Wait a minute!"

Still half-asleep, Qin Ming grabbed the overly excited Keda, rubbed his eyes, and pulled out his phone. "You have to be methodical and efficient when doing things! You can't just do things blindly."

He quickly opened a search engine and entered the keywords: "severe drought", "water shortage", and "latest news on forest fires".

"Did you see that?"

Qin Ming turned his phone screen to Keda, which displayed news of a persistent drought, dried-up rivers, and cracked soil in a certain area, as well as reports of a devastating forest fire in another location that had caused widespread death and destruction.

"With your water control abilities, plus the super water reservoir in Little Fatty's belly, if we could just create a timely rain or extinguish a forest fire, the number of lives saved would be incredible!"

Keda's eyes sparkled as she looked at Qin Ming with admiration, making him truly embarrassed to sleep in.

While washing up and eating, she took the opportunity to give Keda a gentle lecture: "Open your mind, don't follow the rules blindly, use your brain more, and think about whether there are more suitable and faster solutions!"

Another very important point, which Qin Ming didn't mention, is that he had to be discreet in human society, but in front of those trapped animals...

Isn't that just doing whatever you want and having complete freedom?

This was practically a perfect "score-farming" scenario tailor-made for him!

Thinking of this, Qin Ming became interested and began to pack up the corresponding costumes and props: a straw hat, a raincoat, a peach wood sword...

This time, he's going to play the role of a high priest praying for rain!

P.S.: Something came up, will update later...
