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

"Chef Liu, are you sure you're not hiding anything? The smell I got outside wasn't from this dish!"

One student, drawn by the smell, spoke frankly, while many others eavesdropped.

Chef Liu peeked halfway out of the kitchen and saw the braised fish with red bones that was selling like hotcakes in the cafeteria that day. He knew exactly what was going on.

The aroma of the crucian carp lingered in the air, and he smacked his lips twice, as if the fleeting taste of its deliciousness still lingered between his lips and teeth.

He was about to explain when he caught a glimpse of the empty fish basin reflecting a cold light. His once rosy and full face suddenly turned dark.

Master Liu cried out in his heart, how could he have been so bewitched and believed that turtle's evil?

What did they say back then?

The baby turtle patted the edge of the basin with its paws, making a solemn vow:

"Mmm! Mmm mmm!" (A collaboration! The turtle raises the fish, you cook! A powerful alliance! Sharing the pinnacle of culinary delights! This fish is proof!)

The tortoise generously invited Master Liu to eat with it, and Master Liu excitedly agreed, but only managed to grab that one chopstickful, and was also served two crystal-clear crucian carp...

peak?

He feels like he's having a heart attack!

Those two crystal spirit carp were the supplies he had agreed upon with the academy, so how did they get stolen?

Yes, the fat fish that the turtle brought out was strangely delicious and had an absurdly strong spiritual energy; it must have some unique secret recipe.

But just think about how ravenously they ate, and how bottomless their stomachs were!

Even if the fish are raised well, how much of it will Master Liu himself get?

He frantically tossed the food in the wok, almost straining his back, and only managed to grab two bites! Not even enough to fill a tooth gap!

What kind of cooperation is this?

This is called losing everything! This is called doing all the work for someone else!

Master Liu subconsciously weighed the frosty salt in his hand.

The small jade bottle was cool to the touch, and the tiny salt crystals inside shimmered with a faint light, exuding a spiritual aura. It was indeed a top-quality item. Sprinkling a little on it when preparing high-grade spiritual dishes could enhance the flavor and lock in the spiritual energy, making it quite valuable.

If he had received this salt under normal circumstances, he would have been overjoyed.

But now... seeing it reminds me of the lost Crystal Carp and the foolish decisions I made in the heat of the moment.

"Utter nonsense...it's utter nonsense!"

Master Liu squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, regretting it so much he was green with envy.

We were so busy being shocked and craving food that we didn't even draw up a written agreement or agree on how much profit would be split.

At the very least, we need to agree that once a certain amount is raised, Master Liu should receive 30%... no, 50%!

He invested both capital and technical expertise; surely he should at least break even?

Master Liu sighed heavily, a sigh filled with helplessness, heartache, and despair for the future.

What else can we do?

That exquisite taste and boundless spiritual energy were like a seed planted in his heart, making him itchy and restless.

In order to taste that level of ingredients again, and to reach new heights in the career of a spiritual chef...

It seems he has no choice but to grit his teeth and accept this loss.

"It's better to rely on yourself than on a tortoise!" Master Liu thought to himself, "From today onwards, I will diligently practice my hand speed and improve my health!"

He turned and crawled back into the steaming kitchen, venting his frustration on tossing the wok.

clang!clang!clang!

The sound of the spatula hitting the iron pot was several times louder than usual.

……

At this moment, Qin Ming had already led a group of spirit beasts and made a hasty escape.

He deliberately chose to deliver the fish and pick up the food when there were few people in the early morning, and after eating, he didn't linger at all, perfectly avoiding the wave of food-seeking army that came for the taste.

The few fragments he sent to Huo Lin were sealed and stored in a space stone, so that the spiritual energy would not be lost in a short period of time.

"Little Fatty, why did you specifically ask Master Liu for fish?" Qin Ming asked curiously.

Master Liu, unaware of the inside story, thought that catching a crystal spirit carp was already incredibly lucky, but Qin Ming knew Little Fatty's abilities very well.

"Mmm!" Little Fatty shook his head smugly. "Those two, one male and one female, aren't they a perfect match?"

"Don't worry, that old man's reaction time is a beat slow, he can't beat the turtle!"

Qin Ming chuckled, realizing that Little Fatty had become increasingly "intelligent" lately.

No, that's not right. It seems that whenever it comes to "eating," Little Fatty is always very clever and insightful...

Qin Ming shook his head, no longer thinking about it.

Having just improved his strength and having eaten and drunk his fill, he felt full of energy.

He headed straight for the academy's skills testing hall to test his current abilities!

The atmosphere in the skill testing hall was solemn, with the low hum of the psionic instruments and the occasional short, sharp bursts of skill activation.

Huge psionic target piles, high-speed trajectory capture devices, elemental concentration analyzers and other equipment are arranged in various areas, with indicator lights flashing in different colors.

Qin Ming's gaze swept over a huge, smooth jade wall at the entrance, on which densely packed names and data flowed like water.

—That is a record of the rankings of students from all years of Shanghai University in various skills tests.

From the simplest spiritual energy impact intensity to the most complex composite skill accuracy and power assessment, everything is categorized and meticulously recorded.

Many of today's renowned names are accompanied by dazzling statistics, silently testifying to the academy's rich heritage and illustrious past.

In the corner of the list of newcomers, Qin Ming saw the names of familiar faces Zhang He and Si Yan.

However, Xuan Jin's name was actually above theirs. It was quite unusual for someone whose name wasn't even a combat-related suffix to be ranked so high. In the list of combat-related dominators, he stood out from the crowd.

Qin Ming licked his lips, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

"Everyone, who wants to try it out first?" he asked in a low voice, with a hint of excitement.

"Quack! Duck, give it a try!"

Keda responded immediately, his glass-like feathers shimmering under the cold light of the pavilion. The spirit fish feast he had just enjoyed had made the water and moon power within him exceptionally active and light.

"Awoo..." Cang Xuan growled softly, cautiously examining the numerous complex instruments, and flicked its tail. "Let me take a look first, no rush."

He maintained his usual wariness towards these technologically advanced instruments.

Little Fatty, however, was lost in thought, his head turning back and forth, seemingly more interested in the instrument next to him that was analyzing the components of some plant juice, making an unintelligible "gurgling" sound in his throat.

Qin Ming smiled and didn't insist. He walked straight to a stand-alone testing room with a green light on, indicating that it was not in use.

After swiping the student jade pendant, the transparent energy gate slid open silently.

The interior is simple yet professional, with a heavy metal target pile covered with mysterious runes in the center and light screens for data collection and display on the sides.

"Keda, it's up to you now." After Qin Ming finished entering the basic information such as level and attributes, he stepped aside.

Keke took a step forward, her elegant and slender neck slightly raised, and her wings fluttered in a soft and mysterious trajectory.

In an instant, the light in the testing room seemed to dim, a cool and moist air filled the room, and the faint sound of the tides could be heard.

A silvery-blue halo flowed from its feathers and converged at the tip of its slender, powerful beak.

It forms a highly condensed, constantly flowing liquid moonlight, radiating a tranquil yet powerful force.

"Chirp—" A clear and melodious chirp rang out.

The condensed light of the moon and water shot out, leaving a shimmering blue trail, and accurately hit the center of the target.

boom!

A muffled thud resounded, and the runes on the target flashed wildly, with moonlight rippling outwards like water.

The data on the adjacent screen spiked to its peak instantly, fluctuated wildly, and then gradually stabilized...
