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

"You don't need to call the official customer service number anymore; you only need to contact them when the equipment malfunctions."

Old Li's complexion was still not good, but his thoughts were clear. He waved the report in his hand, "I used it just a few minutes ago, and the instrument is working perfectly."

Qin Ming nodded in understanding. It's not uncommon for instruments to fail to detect certain things, especially when it involves mutations or special individuals.

For example, the information about his several spirit beasts would probably not be aligned if strictly following the standard encyclopedia and testing criteria—after all, they all deviate from the "normal" path to some extent.

Having experienced so many strange things, he had long since gotten used to it.

This black butterfly looks ordinary, but who knows if the Heavenly Deer added something extra? Qin Ming pondered to himself, feeling that this possibility was quite high.

While the influential figures were discussing follow-up plans, Old Li leaned closer to Qin Ming and lowered his voice:

"Qin Ming, this situation generally falls into two extremes. Either it's the discovery of some extremely rare, never-before-recorded, super-powerful amplification direction;"

Either... the direction is too bizarre or unorthodox, or the effect is so weak as to be almost useless, and it has been classified as a "useless direction" by predecessors, so much so that the database is too lazy to include it in detail.

He paused, then gave an example: "For instance, there was once a highly potent poison that only worked if ingested voluntarily, known as 'fighting poison with poison,' capable of consuming all poisons in the world. But the problem was, it had no antidote, and those poisoned would die on the same day... Moreover, its cultivation was extremely costly, so it was eventually lost."

"For example, there is a skill that changes the speed of hair growth, but the effect is random. It might grow to waist length in a second, or it might become completely barren for three months. And the interval between its effects is also random..."

"For example..."

Old Li recounted the historical discoveries that were both useless and ridiculous, as if they were his own treasures.

Meanwhile, many researchers around them were already showing signs of boredom, and some even yawned quietly.

Everyone has experienced similar scenarios, thinking they are the chosen one, only to find out in the end that it was just an abandoned path that predecessors had already tried and proven to be impassable.

If new and valuable topics and discoveries were so easy to obtain, there wouldn't be so many people in academia publishing low-quality papers and delaying their graduation each year.

At this moment, a person in charge ended the discussion, walked over, and said solemnly, "Qin Ming, if we conduct manual testing, the efficiency and accuracy of the results are not very controllable, and we may need to try and compare repeatedly."

"So, do you want us to follow the normal procedure and wait in line to apply for testing resources? Or... would you like expedited processing?"

The implication is that expedited processing requires special resources and additional funding, which can be quite expensive.

Others might choose to wait due to funding or uncertainty, but Qin Ming couldn't wait.

Most importantly, relying on his innate perception, although he couldn't pinpoint the exact direction of the scale powder, he knew that there was most likely "something" in it.

"Urgent!" Qin Ming answered without hesitation.

"Okay!" The person in charge didn't waste any time and made the arrangements immediately.

The group then moved to a secluded spot within the academy known as "Little Peach Garden".

The environment here is serene and filled with spiritual energy. Most importantly, the creatures that live here are not real spirit beasts, but rather spirit beast clones with a certain degree of autonomy left behind by many instructors in the academy.

These clones are highly perceptive and can communicate with researchers. They are extremely effective for experimenting with energy skills, and they can dissipate on their own regardless of the nature of the skill they are affected by, leaving no hidden dangers for the spirit beast's main body.

Of course, summoning and maintaining these clones requires a lot of energy and special materials, so using them for experiments requires additional funding.

Listening to the introduction from others, Qin Ming nodded, indicating that he had learned something new.

This is a more advanced and sophisticated application of "cloning" skills.

Although Cang Xuan can also use clones, certain injuries or abnormal states of his clones may still affect his main body.

Although the probability was low, Qin Ming thought about it and still didn't dare to experiment rashly on his own spirit beast.

"Kelda, could you please communicate with the black hole and ask for his cooperation?"

With a weary look in its eyes, Keda let out a low groan and began another long and arduous "baby talk" communication with the bewildered black butterfly above its head.

After the black hole finally understood, a colossal elephant-shaped spirit beast avatar, solid in form and exuding a heavy aura, was already quietly waiting in the center of the arena.

Its nose gently lifted, giving the black hole a place to rest.

Everyone held their breath as the black hole hovered over the elephant's trunk. Then, it awkwardly trembled its wings, shaking off a small piece of scale powder that refracted into mysterious starlight in the sunlight.

The scales drifted lightly onto the tip of the giant elephant's trunk, eventually blending into it.

A few seconds later, the giant elephant, its trunk tip tucked in its mouth, flapped its massive, fan-like ears, conveying a clear yet silent mental message: "I don't feel anything? You guys... are you playing with me?"

The scene was completely silent, with only a few whispers and sighs that could be faintly heard.

This shouldn't be happening. Qin Ming frowned slightly, and after hesitating, "Gah!"

Keda volunteered.

"...The black hole skill shouldn't cause any extreme damage. During the several times he used it, Duck didn't feel any discomfort."

"And it doesn't look like it's causing hair loss or anything like that." After witnessing the black hole being used several times up close, Keda was able to figure something out.

Qin Ming glanced at Keda, then at the bewildered black hole.

"Well... alright then." He finally nodded, adding a word of caution, "Be careful."

Keda took a deep breath and walked to the center of the field.

Needless to say, the black hole understood who the target was this time. It flew to Keda and flapped its wings, scattering a much denser cloud of dark scales until it completely enveloped Keda.

Qin Ming couldn't understand where this tiny black butterfly got so many scales and powder.

In comparison, it seems that the previous attempt was far too stingy, not even enough for the tip of an elephant's trunk...

Under this inexplicable strangeness, the status bar for "Available" in Qin Ming's eyes suddenly changed in a split second!

A line of text appeared in the status bar...

[Super Lucky]

Note: The higher the intimacy level with Mo Die, the more significant the luck bonus... (Current intimacy level: Extreme Trust)

Qin Ming's lips twitched violently, and his eyes changed!

His gaze shifted back and forth between Keda and the black hole...

No, this butterfly is so black, its skin color is wrong!
