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

"You can't touch it back and forth, you have to stroke it in the direction of its fur."

Seeing that Xuan Jin's technique was clumsy but he stubbornly refused to let go of the school bully cat, the experienced Qin Ming couldn't help but start to give him guidance.

This formation genius was completely devoid of his usual composure; his slender fingers hovered in mid-air, caught in a dilemma.

Confusion appeared in Xuan Jin's usually aloof eyes. He carefully examined the school bully cat, his brows furrowing slightly.

Seeing this, Qin Ming cheerfully continued his instruction: "Stroke his chin more, but don't touch his tail yet."

"Okay." Xuan Jin's attitude was as serious as if he were listening to a lecture, and then he asked a series of questions.

"Should we start from the root of the hair, the middle section, or the surface?"

Is there a concept of speed—constant speed or variable speed?

"Can his 13th thoracic vertebra and spinous processes be palpated? Is there a recommended order of palpation?"

Qin Ming: ?

As Xuan Jin asked questions, he scanned every inch of the cat's fur with his unique, anatomical gaze.

The bully cat shifted uneasily, making a soft purring sound in its throat, whether it was enjoying it or protesting was unclear.

Qin Ming initially tried to answer, but gradually fell silent as he listened to the series of questions.

After a moment's hesitation, Qin Ming shoved the fat cat into Xuan Jin's arms. "Practice makes perfect. Experience it for yourself."

This action caused Xuan Jin to freeze instantly, his pupils trembling. His usually calm and steady hands were now at a loss for what to do.

His barrage of questions was finally stopped by Qin Ming's "physical interruption".

"Cats have their own personalities. As long as he's comfortable, that's fine. You decide." Qin Ming said this and clapped his hands, ignoring the situation.

Stretching and looking out the window at the departing flock of birds, Qin Ming felt relieved.

The spiritual energy in the dormitory remained as abundant as ever, but thanks to the concealment array set up by Xuan Jin, it no longer leaked out in the slightest.

This bustling, noisy space has finally regained some peace.

Having witnessed the concealment formation's creation from scratch, Zheng Wenjie felt relieved. He stood far away by the door, maintaining a safe distance from Xuan Jin.

"Qin Ming, I've already spoken privately with the college administration and explained your situation," Zheng Wenjie continued. "If no further unforeseen circumstances arise, the authorities won't interfere anymore. You can explain it to your classmates however you like."

"Thank you so much." Qin Ming expressed his heartfelt gratitude and stepped forward to exchange a few more words with his senior brother.

However, Zheng Wenjie quickly stepped back and politely declined, saying, "It's no problem, I'll be going now."

The speed was so fast that it could create a gust of wind, as if afraid of being contaminated by something.

Qin Ming shook his head inwardly and did not try to persuade him to stay.

Xuan Jin didn't even summon his most iconic "Bonecrusher Spirit," so why are you so wary? Prejudice really does harm people.

Looking back at Xuan Jin, who was standing stiffly like a statue, Qin Ming felt no fear whatsoever.

So what if the spirit beasts react to his unusual aura? The environment has been modified like this, what is there for him to be afraid of?

Meanwhile, the school bully cat's rare display of elegance had reached its limit.

He meowed in dissatisfaction, then leaped lightly out of Xuan Jin's stiff arms, landing steadily with his tail twitching intelligently.

Xuan Jin couldn't tell whether he felt relaxed or regretful, but his rationality returned as he remembered the things he hadn't mentioned.

"Qin Ming, remember to replace the spirit stones at the array's core in time to maintain the energy." Xuan Jin's voice remained calm, but if you listened carefully, you could detect a slight ripple. The evidence was that his attitude had become noticeably gentler, and he was talking more.

"This area covers your entire bedroom and also includes your backyard," Xuan Jin continued in detail.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming's eyes lit up, and a brilliant idea flashed into his mind: "Cang Xuan, when should we build a small pond in the backyard? Keda and Xiaopang would probably love it."

"I checked beforehand, and the fine for illegally modifying a dormitory room is 50 points per month. Since I'm going to pay the fine anyway, I might as well modify it as much as possible!"

The white wolf let out an excited "howl," but Xuan Jin stammered upon hearing it.

"However... there are limitations on the strength of objects or the concentration of spiritual energy within the concealed formation."

The implication was clear: if Qin Ming went too far, the formation might not be able to contain him.

Qin Ming raised an eyebrow: "Do you take me for some kind of abnormal person...?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the dormitory room fell silent. Xuan Jin remained silent, and even the school bully cat paused in its paw-licking motion.

A subtle silence filled the air...

Qin Ming coughed lightly: "Cough, this was all an accident."

Xuan Jin stared at him for a while, then his gaze drifted to the school bully cat: "It's okay, just call me when the time comes."

His tone was calm, yet inexplicably reassuring.

Qin Ming paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "...Oh, okay then."

Looking into Xuan Jin's cold, sharp eyes, Qin Ming suddenly felt that this friend might not be as indifferent as he appeared.

Qin Ming smiled and extended an invitation, "You are welcome to come often when you have time. Several people here seem to like you quite a bit. Sometimes when I'm not around, I'll trouble you to look after them."

Xuan Jin's gaze swept around the dormitory, from the leisurely school bully cats and dogs to the timid kingfisher, finally landing on Qin Ming. He nodded slightly and said, "Then it's a deal."

The two then said goodbye.

Shortly after Xuan Jin left, a phone call came in.

Qin Ming glanced at the caller ID and answered with a smile, "Hello, Zeng Guian."

Zeng Guian's tense voice came through the phone: "Qin Ming, Zhang He told me to report to the school team tomorrow! This...this is too sudden!"

"Isn't this a good thing? Why are you panicking?"

Qin Ming leaned back leisurely in the rattan chair, watching Cang Xuan begin conducting on-site surveys in the backyard.

"I...I want Cang Xuan to accompany me!" Zeng Guian's voice was pleading.

Cang Xuan's steadiness and integrity were known even to the oblivious Zeng Gui'an.

But Qin Ming, watching the new chief engineer diligently surveying the backyard and occasionally marking the ground with his paws, declined on his behalf without hesitation: "Cang Xuan has been a bit busy lately and can't spare the time."

Indeed, Cang Xuan even used his clones at this moment, with two furry figures shuttling back and forth in the backyard, demonstrating his attitude of working at double speed.

"Then, what about Keda?" Zeng Guian was still not giving up.

Qin Ming, watching the new chief designer strategizing with his duck feet on the sand table while advising Cang Xuan, said without a hint of guilt, "Keda is busy too!"

"Then, why does Little Fatty have free time?" Zeng Guian asked, puzzled.

Qin Ming remained silent for a long time before finally sighing, "He's probably very carefree."

Not wanting to continue this topic, Qin Ming said seriously, "Zeng Gui'an, if you don't want anything to go wrong tomorrow, bring some good food with you."

"Delicious? Now?" Zeng Guian was even more confused.

"Yes, hurry to the cafeteria and line up now, there's still time!" Qin Ming glanced at the time. "I'll send you the menu in a bit. If I get it wrong, the consequences... won't be good!"
