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

As Qin Ming was pondering how to help Xiao Pang stabilize his spatial power and further investigate the hidden dangers of the Void Realm, a rapid phone call interrupted his thoughts.

The caller ID showed Zeng Fu'an—a close friend Qin Ming met at a summer camp in Shanghai, a free-spirited but loyal friend.

"Hey, Qin Ming! You finally answered the phone! I couldn't get through no matter how many times I called, the signal was always out of service. Which remote mountain village did you hide in?"

As soon as the call connected, Zeng Fu'an's loud and boisterous voice came through.

"No way..." Qin Ming was about to deny it when he remembered that the ethereal realm was isolated from the real world and had no signal. He could only laugh awkwardly and mumble:

"I was busy with some things, in a place... um... with a bad signal. What's up, is it urgent?"

"The Shanghai Summer Camp is about to officially end! Do you want to participate in the final graduation competition?" Zeng Fu'an asked, his excitement mixed with a hint of nervousness.

"Oh, right, Shen Yanqing is back too! His black crane has evolved! Its feathers are as white as snow, but its crest is as red as blood. Its aura is much stronger than before, and it looks exceptionally majestic!"

There was no shortage of envy in his words.

Qin Ming raised an eyebrow, recalling the unfinished competition between them. "Alright, but what are the rules for the graduation competition?"

Qin Ming never fights a battle unprepared, so he naturally needs to find out the details in advance.

"This competition is a bit tricky; it's more like a chase and hide-and-seek game. The rule is that Shanghai University will send some second- and third-year students to play the role of 'hunters.'"

The challenge is to search for and defeat us summer camp participants in a simulated jungle environment. If we aren't all found and eliminated within the time limit, we win the round.

It sounds like a different kind of hide-and-seek. If it were in the past, Qin Ming might have considered directly traveling through time to the Void Realm for a "hidden vacation" and easily passing the time.

But things are different now. The potential dangers of the ethereal realm are like a thorn in his heart, bringing a vague unease and anxiety, and he subconsciously wants to avoid becoming overly dependent on it.

At the same time, the rapid improvement in his partners' strength recently has given him real confidence.

Far from wanting to hide, he was actually quite eager to try: "What level of strength do the 'hunters' who came have? Approximately how many of them are there?"

"I don't know the specifics," Zeng Fu'an said, his tone becoming somewhat resentful.

"I heard they're all active and strong upperclassmen from the second and third years, and their levels are at least 30 or higher! Ugh, I can't beat them, I just can't beat them!"

Everyone's currently discussing how to group up and hide more discreetly, and how to set traps to mislead them!

Judging from this, the general mentality of the people in the summer camp was to avoid battle, delay, and seek self-preservation, which was completely different from Qin Ming's current idea of ​​wanting to confront them head-on or even take the initiative to attack.

However, upon further reflection, Qin Ming realized clearly what changes he had undergone in just over a week.

—In supporting Qinglanjiang, Keda, Cangxuan, and Xiaopang all obtained tremendous opportunities and achieved leapfrog breakthroughs.

Currently, Keda is at level 29, Cangxuan is at level 27, and Xiaopang is at level 28, all of them are close to the level 30 mark!

Meanwhile, most of the people in the summer camp are probably still working hard to accumulate experience for their main spirit beasts to break through the first evolution stage around level 20.

It's not that they didn't meet the minimum requirements for a breakthrough; it's just that those who came to the Shanghai summer camp were all geniuses from various places with higher aspirations for the future.

They would rather accumulate experience over a longer period and seek greater potential for evolution than easily break through before they feel they have reached their limit.

Unless they are "opportunity monsters" like Qin Ming who have endless opportunities and unexpected blessings, or "family monsters" like Shen Yanqing who have a deep foundation and abundant resources in the early stages.

Qin Ming estimated that at this moment, there were probably no more than five spirit beasts in the entire summer camp whose level was above 20.

The gap in strength between them has quietly formed a huge barrier.

"Qin Ming? Qin Ming! Are you coming or not? Give us a straight answer! Everyone's waiting for the final group assignments!"

Perhaps Qin Ming had been in silence for too long, because Zeng Fu'an couldn't help but urge him on the other end of the phone.

Qin Ming was about to agree when he heard Zeng Fu'an add a sentence, his tone even carrying a hint of flattery:

"Um... if it's not convenient for you to come... then Brother Cangxuan can come instead! Really! I won't force you!"

Qin Ming: "???"

What the heck? Boss Cangxuan?

Before Qin Ming could react, Zeng Fu'an lowered his voice and said mysteriously:

"Tell Boss Cangxuan that the soil in the experimental fields his underlings are in charge of is loosened to be soft and even, just as he requested! Fertilizer has been applied! They're just waiting for him to come back and review it!"

Qin Ming's mouth was slightly open as he held his phone, momentarily at a loss for how to react.

Cang Xuan's progress in winning people's hearts and developing the "farming team" seems to be a bit beyond expectations!

They've started reporting work remotely, waiting for the "boss" to go back and inspect?

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Qin Ming replied irritably into the phone, "Come on! Of course I'm coming! I'll bring Cang Xuan, Keda, and Xiaopang—the whole team will be joining!"

"Great! Hurry up! Head straight to the preparation hall in the simulation battle zone 3! Everyone's waiting for you to practice and discuss strategies!"

Zeng Fu'an cheered, quickly gave the address, and then hung up the phone.

Hearing the busy tone from his phone, Qin Ming rolled his eyes in exasperation.

"That unreliable and reckless guy..."

He chuckled and cursed under his breath. If it weren't for the fact that Wowo was indeed handsome, Qin Ming really wouldn't want to admit that he had this guy as a friend, given his eccentric behavior.

With Little Fatty's internal space and the space stone given to him by Elder Kong, Qin Ming didn't have much to pack.

On the way, he thought for a moment and then dialed the contact information of Zhang He, who had the best inside information at Shanghai University.

The call was answered quickly.

"Hey, junior Qin Ming? What a rare guest! What brings you here?" Zhang He's voice was filled with a hearty laugh.

"Brother Zhang, I have a question for you." Qin Ming cut to the chase, "Is there a traditional activity at the end of each year's Shanghai summer camp where a lot of returning students become 'hunters'?"

"Haha, that's right! The usual routine!" Zhang He's laughter grew louder.

"Everyone has been looking forward to this day! Finally, we can pass on the 'deep care and concern from the upperclassmen' that we felt when we first entered the university to the new students!"

Judging from that tone that seemed to thrive on chaos, Qin Ming knew that the so-called "care" was definitely not an easy or pleasant experience.

He continued to probe: "Do you know who's on the 'Hunter's List' this year? And roughly what rank they are?"

"Huh? Weren't you already decided... Oh, I see!"

Zhang He's tone was initially surprised, then turned to one of admiration and realization, "Junior, you're not satisfied with just passing the test; you're planning to go head-to-head, even try to turn the tables? That's bold! I like it!"

"I know some of the names on the list. This year is quite lively, with several guys who don't usually participate in these kinds of events signing up."

Their levels are generally between 30 and 35, but the leaders' main spirit beasts should be above level 35. As for who exactly… I'll go ask around for you… wait here~”
