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

No turtle owner can remain calm in the face of so many docile and adorable turtles.

Qin Ming's heart melted as he looked at the group of turtles of different sizes and species, all craning their necks and gazing at him expectantly.

Without hesitation, he took out the dried shrimp, dried fish, and dried meat that Little Fatty hadn't finished eating and generously distributed them.

"Come on, don't be shy, have some."

He grabbed a handful of fragrant dried shrimp and carefully placed them in front of a beautifully patterned turtle.

He picked up a few more pieces of soft dried fish and handed them to the timid little grass turtle next to him, which was only the size of a coin.

Watching them quickly gather around and peck at the food with such contentment, Qin Ming's smile grew even brighter and more loving, just like an old father watching his children eat their fill.

"Hmm?" Little Fatty tilted his head and blinked, sensing that something was off.

That looks like the turtle's stored food!?

"Ahem," Qin Ming coughed lightly, looking guilty, and put on a serious face, coaxing, "As the boss, how can I let my subordinates work on an empty stomach? That's called caring for your subordinates, right?"

He spoke with righteous indignation, but his hands didn't stop; he took out all the inventory.

I crouched down and carefully touched each turtle, from the largest female grass carp to the smallest egg turtle with its shell still soft. I scratched their chins and pinched their little claws.

Surrounded by these gentle and obedient turtles, enjoying their dependent and affectionate behavior, Qin Ming laughed like a child weighing over 100 pounds. He was so immersed in this happiness that he couldn't stop laughing.

Turning my head, a strong, fishy smell hit me.

The smile on his face froze instantly. His body reacted faster than his brain, and he reflexively jumped up and took a big step back.

Upon closer inspection, I realized that the crocodile had somehow gotten close.

Its enormous, scale-covered snout was open to an exaggerated angle, its sharp teeth gleaming menacingly in the sunlight, and its throat, seemingly bottomless, was clearly visible!

but,

Those unblinking, cold, vertical pupils seemed... to be filled with expectation?

Seeing that Qin Ming did not feed it immediately, its only reaction was to jump back in shock, and the expectant light in its vertical pupils visibly dimmed.

Its huge head drooped slightly in disappointment, a soft whimper escaped its throat, and a tear gradually welled up at the corner of its eye.

Qin Ming: "..."

Do we have to feed these crocodiles too?

I tentatively offered the largest piece of dried shrimp and fish, but since it was turtle food, it was smaller than the tooth next to it.

Qin Ming and the owner of the vertical pupils looked at each other, watching as the moisture gradually condensed into water droplets, hanging on the cold scales, about to fall but not quite.

Qin Ming felt a pang of conscience, and his hand trembled, causing him to pour out the entire can.

The crocodile closed its mouth contentedly, chewing slowly with its upper and lower jaws, its eyes narrowing into slits, and it even flicked its tail leisurely.

But the chubby boy next to him widened his eyes the instant Qin Ming's hand trembled! He charged towards the crocodile that had taken a bite and wanted a second, gathered his strength in his dantian, and slapped it hard with his paw!

"Thump!"

A loud splash echoed as the crocodile, caught off guard, was slammed back into the middle of the river, creating a spray of water.

Seeing that Little Fatty was still fuming and wanted to rush up and pounce on him again, Qin Ming quickly bent down and pulled him back.

"Alright, alright, let's not engage in workplace bullying!" Qin Ming suppressed a laugh and earnestly advised, "Even though they eat a lot, they contribute a lot too! Look—"

Qin Ming raised his hand and pointed to the river.

The crocodile floated listlessly in the middle of the water, yet remained as stable as a moving island. Several small turtles, struggling in the water, nestled beside it, using its weight to float.

"Look," Qin Ming's voice softened as he patiently explained, "there are quite a few turtles here. They shouldn't have been in this river in the first place; they were probably released here by someone. They're not good swimmers and are weak; they simply can't survive alone in the rapids."

"But with it here," he pointed to the hardworking crocodile, "it can provide the little guy with a 'living platform' to rest and breathe at any time, which is a lifesaver for them. What it eats isn't just snacks, it's practically 'wages' and 'fuel costs'!"

After hearing Qin Ming's explanation, Xiao Pang's anger subsided. He thanked Keda for helping to rescue several weak turtles floating on the water, and his gaze towards the crocodile was no longer fierce.

Before parting, Qin Ming once again asked Xiao Pang to remind the "Turtle and Tortoise Intelligence Department" of various precautions for hanging fish hooks.

"Remember, it's about hanging up the 'thing,' not hanging yourself up!" Little Fatty solemnly conveyed.

Those air force fishing enthusiasts welcome anyone who comes.

Qin Ming and Xiao Pang neither wanted their men to suffer casualties because of this blunder.

Finally, make sure all members remember the principle: "Safety first, don't be greedy and get hooked!"

Qin Ming finally felt relieved and waved goodbye to this unique river intelligence network and its "biological aircraft carrier".

-

With the case still unresolved and the merit pearl yet to be obtained, Qin Ming has no immediate plans to return to the Spirit Martial Continent.

He strolled leisurely along the riverbank, enjoying this rare moment of leisure.

He knew that the police would take such a major case very seriously and would invest a lot of manpower and technological means to conduct a thorough investigation.

While he certainly benefited from Cangxuan's keen natural perception and ability to communicate with all things in encrypted form, he would never underestimate the powerful force unleashed by the combination of modern technology and sheer numbers.

Compared to personally going to the front lines where martial law has been declared, which would be restrictive and attract attention, Qin Ming felt that Xiao Pang's idea of ​​developing the "River Area Intelligence Network" was excellent and worth promoting.

"Keda, see if you can use your 'social charm' to gather some bird friends in this area? Just like how Little Fatty built a turtle colony, you can create an aerial surveillance network for us."

"Gah~ Got it!" Keda excitedly flapped its wings, its eyes sparkling with eager anticipation.

If the aerial reconnaissance network can also take shape and form a joint air-water intelligence network with the river network, it will not only build a hidden defense line to protect public safety, but also become a stable source for him to easily and continuously gain merit.

Once he had made up his mind, he no longer hesitated.

"Cang Xuan," he turned to look at his reliable partner.

"You've made a trip too, go back to the mountains and take a look. Say hello to your son and the other leaders of the mountain strongholds, and let them know that the forest is not a lawless place."

"Make them more alert; if they discover anything unusual, they must report it while ensuring their own safety."

Forests are the places where rare animal smuggling is most serious, and also where outlaws hide and cross borders. In a sense, this is also a form of mutual assistance.

"Awoo~ Understood!" Cang Xuan nodded steadily, his figure flashed, and he silently disappeared into the mountains and forests along the coast to carry out his mission.

Qin Ming gazed in the direction where Cang Xuan had disappeared, then looked at Keda, who was busy chatting with the magpies on the branch, and a calm smile appeared on his lips.

—Using the power of nature to weave an invisible net, this may be another easy and correct way to gain merit.
