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

For summer camp students who are talented but have only recently become Spirit Masters, aside from the academy benefits they can enjoy now, it will likely take a lot of effort to travel freely and conveniently between their hometown and the academy again in the future.

Of course, if one's abilities can improve by leaps and bounds, reaching graduation or even a higher level ahead of schedule, that's a different story. But for the vast majority of people, that's still a distant goal.

The summer camp officially came to an end after the closing ceremony.

The trainees said their goodbyes to each other; some were eager to return home, while others chose to stay and continue honing their skills. Qin Ming, Shen Yanqing, and Zeng Fu'an, as a group that had performed exceptionally well, had already made their choices.

After waving goodbye to everyone, Qin Ming and his two companions headed to the dormitory area specially approved for freshmen at Shanghai University, guided by a teaching assistant.

The accommodation area is quiet and shady with green trees. It is no longer a temporary prefab house like in summer camps, but a row of exquisitely designed townhouses with independent courtyards.

"Wow! This is great!" Zeng Fu'an's eyes lit up as he looked at the exquisite little building in front of him. "It's much better than the dormitory I imagined!"

The teaching assistant smiled and explained, "We have single rooms, double rooms, and these small villas across the hall. Several students who performed exceptionally well in the graduation assessment have priority in choosing their rooms."

At the same time, you are among the first to arrive, and you can freely choose your preferred house number.

"Do you have a house number like 666?" Qin Ming asked casually, hoping for good luck.

The teaching assistant quickly checked the registration information on the screen: "Yes, Building 6, Area A."

"Then I want 888!" Zeng Fu'an followed closely behind.

"777." Shen Yanqing replied succinctly and readily agreed.

The teaching assistant smiled and assigned them three adjacent villas with particularly "impressive" house numbers. These villas were in quiet locations with excellent natural light.

After settling in and resting briefly, Zeng Fu'an eagerly knocked on Qin Ming's door: "Let's go! Qin Ming! I've heard that 'Illusionary Realm No. 3' at Shanghai University is super famous! Let's go experience it!"

Qin Ming, who possessed the golden pearl and had an almost natural resistance to illusions, had a complicated expression as he recalled his last encounter in an illusion and the massive amount of obscene videos stored in his phone's cloud drive.

"You... have already inquired about it?" Qin Ming asked tentatively.

"Absolutely! I haven't had a moment's rest these past few days, I've scoured the entire campus forum! Lead the way!" Zeng Fu'an hooked his arm around Qin Ming's neck, beaming with enthusiasm.

Qin Ming then looked at Shen Yanqing beside him. Although the other party was taciturn, there was a hint of curiosity and expectation in his eyes.

He paused for two seconds, then gently reminded them, "Um... 'Illusionary Realm No. 3' is indeed very... challenging. You'd better be fully prepared mentally."

"I know, I know!" Zeng Fu'an said dismissively, becoming even more excited. "The forums all say it's a must-see 'campus fantasy blockbuster' for university students in Shanghai. The visual effects are stunning, and the experience is amazing! You'll definitely regret it if you don't go!"

A fantasy blockbuster? Qin Ming frowned. This description was completely different from the illusion he had personally experienced, which was designed to test one's inner weaknesses and could easily lead to one's demise.

Which forum did you see this on?

"It's a hot post on campus! The title is 'Must-See for Freshmen at Shanghai University! Campus Fantasy Blockbuster, You Can't Miss Fantasy No. 3!' It describes it in great detail, saying it's an epic experience that can unleash your potential and stuff..." Zeng Fu'an talked on and on.

Qin Ming recalled the timid expressions of the senior students on the outer perimeter of Illusionary Realm 3, as well as the unbearable video recordings of those events in the cloud...

He swallowed hard, falling completely silent at the wildly exaggerated "nonsense" circulating on the forum.

What kind of grudge could possibly drive so many senior students to brainstorm and concoct such a story to deceive new students?

Are all people this free?

Qin Ming felt that this was not just a simple prank, but there might be something strange behind it, but he couldn't figure it out for the time being.

"What are you thinking about? Let's go! If we keep dragging this out, the best time for the experience will be over!" Zeng Fu'an urged again.

Seeing Zeng Fu'an's eager expression, as if he were about to participate in some kind of entertainment activity, Qin Ming sighed inwardly.

It's hard to persuade a suicidal ghost with kind words... Of the three, the one least able to resist illusions is probably Zeng, who is simple-minded and easily manipulated.

He himself is protected by golden beads, and Shen Yanqing's Sky-Patrolling Crane also has unique spiritual power, with a strong ability to dispel illusions.

As for Zeng Fu'an... judging from how easily he believed the nonsense on the forum, the outcome was predictable.

But since he was so eager to "suffer"—no, to temper his will—why was Qin Ming trying to stop him?

He exchanged a knowing glance with Shen Yanqing, confirming that only Zeng Fu'an was still in the dark, and immediately decided that since they were brothers, he should... grant his wish!

"Alright," Qin Ming said with a meaningful smile, "I know a shortcut that leads directly to the entrance of 'Illusionary Realm 3'!"

"That's great! Qin Ming, you're really a good friend!" Zeng Fu'an cheered.

Each with their own thoughts, the three walked towards the depths of the training area with smiles on their faces.

After winding through several secluded tree-lined paths, a mysterious building shrouded in a faint energy barrier, with light and shadow flowing at its entrance, came into view. This was "Illusion 3".

Upon reaching the entrance, looking at the ever-changing void barrier and feeling an intense mental pressure, Zeng Fu'an's excited mind was shaken, and his mind cleared for a moment.

"Uh... Qin Ming, wait a minute, why is there no one queuing outside this attraction? Wasn't it supposed to be super popular?"

He looked around in confusion. The entrance was indeed deserted, with only a student-looking person pacing back and forth not far away, his expression seemingly... struggled?

Qin Ming remained expressionless, his mind racing, and blurted out, "Oh, I heard it's an independent illusionary space inside, with no limit on the number of people. Maybe everyone has already gone in."

"But that person..." Zeng Fu'an pointed to the student who was hesitating to go in, "doesn't seem like he wants to go in?"

"...Maybe," Qin Ming continued, making things up, "that it's temporarily full."

"But he looked like he was in a lot of pain, and he didn't seem to be looking forward to anything."

"He can't get in, so he's in a lot of pain," Qin Ming replied fluently.

"Is that so?" Zeng Fu'an was skeptical. His mind, which had just cleared up for a moment, was about to be clouded again by Qin Ming's words.

"Of course, would I lie to you? Hurry up and go in, don't delay!" Qin Ming gave him a push.

"Wait a minute, didn't they just say it was full?" Zeng Fu'an had one foot almost inside when his intuition was screaming warnings.

"How will you know if you don't try? What if that person is waiting for someone? Besides, why bother with so much? If we keep dragging this out, the best time to experience it will be over!" Qin Ming retorted.

"Okay... alright!"

Zeng Fu'an took a deep breath, and with the last glimmer of hope for the "fantasy blockbuster," he strode confidently into the entrance where light and shadow flowed, and his figure vanished instantly.
