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

The steed of Wowa let out a clear, long neigh, its four hooves coming to a steady stop, precisely in front of the old tree with its gnarled roots.

Qin Ming dismounted, his gaze sweeping over the ordinary land. After only two seconds of hesitation, he took out a brand-new iron shovel from his spatial stone, casually rolled up his sleeves to reveal his smooth forearm, and prepared to dig.

"I'll just treat it as a workout," he muttered to himself.

Since his spirit beasts have become more and more skilled, taking on a series of daily chores including washing dishes, cleaning, dusting, weeding, and delivering packages, he has indeed had far fewer opportunities to do physical labor himself.

With the first shovel stroke, a large chunk of soil, along with the grass roots, was easily pried up.

Qin Ming raised an eyebrow; the feel was good, it seemed his increased strength hadn't been wasted. Confident, he put all his strength into the second shovel, forcefully pushing it into the ground and prying—

With a sharp, teeth-grinding "creak," the shovel handle bent into a breathtaking arc!

Qin Ming stared blankly at the deformed shovel in his hand for two seconds, his ears burning slightly.

He quickly retrieved the "fallen" shovel into his spatial stone and then pulled out a second one.

Fortunately, he was well-prepared.

This time, he carefully controlled the force in his hands, peeling away the soil layer by layer, and was about to reach the one-meter depth that Xiao Bao had indicated.

With victory in sight, Qin Ming was overjoyed, and in his excitement, he lost control of his strength.

"Snap!"

The second shovel broke in two, just like its predecessor.

Little Bao, who was initially enthusiastic and cheering, went from being silent to taking two steps back.

Qin Ming expressionlessly took away the broken shovel and retrieved the last spare shovel from the space stone.

When he prepared three shovels, he never imagined that being "better safe than sorry" would still not be enough.

Calm down, you must calm down!

Qin Ming took a deep breath, forcibly ignoring the strange look in Wowa Zhijun's eyes beside him, and Xiao Bao's hesitant expression.

He focused his mind and became extremely gentle and steady in his movements, as if he were performing a precise surgery.

Finally, the shovel tip touched a hard object. He carefully brushed aside the surrounding soil, and a fruit-shaped object, about the size of a basketball, with a dark brown surface and strange wood-like texture, slowly came into view.

Earth Fruit is a treasure that can only be formed under the roots of certain ancient trees over a long period of time by accumulating the essence of earth and wood.

While not exceptionally rare, it's not impossible for even one to emerge from beneath thousands of ancient trees. The rich and peaceful earth and wood energy contained within is highly beneficial to many spirit beasts and even spirit masters.

The best things are always the freebies. Qin Ming smiled contentedly and bent down to pick up the heavy fruit.

The horse, which had been watching the commotion from the sidelines, stood frozen in place, its eyes wide open.

He recognized this fruit!

Last month, when it was his birthday, the spirit master obtained one as a birthday gift for him, and he still vividly remembers the taste and the energy it contained.

But... but how could this thing be dug out so easily?

The horse's hooves, which had been relentlessly beating for a moment, were now completely silent.

He tilted his big head, scanning back and forth between the calm Qin Ming and the thoughtful little mouse.

At this moment, Xiao Bao's unremarkable, even somewhat shabby white fur, in his eyes, seemed to be coated with a mysterious and dazzling halo.

If he could find another one, he would be truly impressed! Wowa Zhijun thought to himself, his horse gently stamping its hooves on the ground.

After careful consideration, Xiao Bao jumped onto the broad, sturdy shoulders of the Wowa steed without waiting for Qin Ming to make a move, and carefully grabbed a few strands of mane to steady himself.

He was genuinely worried that Qin Ming might get carried away and use excessive force. His small frame wasn't as strong as a shovel, and he was still terrified just thinking about it.

When the flying squirrel "stepped on his shoulder," Wowa no Jun paused only slightly, but unusually, he didn't show any disgust. This would have been absolutely impossible before.

"Eek! Three o'clock, about three kilometers away..." Xiao Bao sensed again and quickly reported the new coordinates.

This time, Qin Ming didn't even need to persuade or guide them; the Wowa steed changed direction on its own and sped off, arriving automatically.

Then he quietly watched Qin Ming's excavation site.

Although he had expected it, Wowa Jun was still stunned when he saw Qin Ming dig out another familiar object exuding the essence of earth and wood from behind a crevice in the rock.

Another ground fruit!?

Is it that simple?

Was Zeng Gui'an cutting back on his rations?! A strange sense of grievance and suspicion welled up in Wowa Zhijun's heart, and he began to seriously doubt Ma Sheng.

Qin Ming, on the other hand, encountered a small problem. "Um... Xiao Bao, how about we change direction or target? This last shovel doesn't seem to be working..."

He shook the shovel in his hand somewhat awkwardly; it was cracked from excessive wear and tear from digging through the rock layers.

He had actually tried his best to control the force, but the tool had indeed reached its limit.

Upon hearing this, the Wowa Steed immediately let out a sharp neigh, took a step forward, and stretched out one of its front hooves, which still emitted a gentle spiritual energy fluctuation.

Qin Ming and Xiao Bao exchanged a glance. "Alright then, thank you."

So the scene changed to Qin Ming and Xiao Bao watching from the sidelines, while the Wowa Steed carefully controlled its hooves, which were wrapped in spiritual energy, like a professional archaeologist, patiently and meticulously digging through the soil and gravel.

Qin Ming looked at the scene, stroked his chin, and muttered to himself: Wasn't he supposed to be here to exercise? Why is he suddenly idle again...?

Ultimately, with the tireless assistance of the Wowa Steed, they successfully added two more Earth Fruits to their inventory.

Xiao Bao also stated that he had already sensed the entire area and there were no further discoveries.

Qin Ming nodded in understanding and generously took out a fresh earth fruit and handed it to Wowa Zhijun.

"Here, this is your reward for your hard work."

The horse's eyes lit up immediately. It snorted excitedly, opened its mouth wide, and eagerly snatched the earth fruit, which was not much smaller than its head, in one bite. It swallowed it in a few gulps. The pure earth and wood energy melted in its body, making it so comfortable that it kept swishing its tail and making satisfied purring sounds in its throat.

On the other side of the grass, Zeng Gui'an, scratching his head in front of a blank notebook, barely managed to squeeze out a beginning. He would occasionally look irritably in the direction where the person in the notebook was already out of sight.

"Alas, I really made a bad choice in friends..." he lamented, when suddenly, through the contract connection, he sensed an extremely complex and chaotic emotional fluctuation coming from the Steed of Wowa.

—There was doubt, excitement, envy, and even a hint of...questioning about him as a spirit master?

Zeng Guian suddenly jolted and sprang up from the ground.

What on earth happened?! How can he possibly do his homework in peace?!
