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

Perhaps in Officer Mu's mind, Qin Ming was only there because of him, so when he looked at Qin Ming again, his eyes couldn't help but be filled with some emotion.

"After I hand over my duties to my colleagues, I can go home. How about I treat you to a meal then?"

"Please don't refuse, I've benefited a lot from your kindness!" Officer Mu's tone was quite sincere.

Seeing the somewhat moved expression on Officer Mu's face, Qin Ming knew that the other party had misunderstood, but explaining now would only cause more trouble.

The fishermen around him had shifted their gaze from curiosity to investigation. Before the whispers of "Who is this young man?" and "How can the police officer be so polite to him?" could spread, Qin Ming took a few steps closer, lowered his voice, and said, "No rush, your work is more important."

Officer Mu understood and turned to continue his patrol.

Although the anglers were itching to fish, they restrained their gossipy nature in the face of the uniforms, and the scene temporarily returned to a superficial calm, with only the sounds of casting, reeling in, and the wind rustling through the reeds remaining.

Perhaps the fishermen in this area were too conscientious, or perhaps they were too afraid to go to any remote corners for safety reasons; in any case, the patrol seemed to be going more smoothly than Qin Ming had expected.

The fishing spots were neatly arranged, trash was bagged, and the staff were very cooperative when asked questions.

While his eyes were vacant, the waters below were turbulent.

As dusk settles, aquatic creatures begin to become active.

In a lush "camp" at the bottom of the river, a large, patterned tortoise with an intricately patterned carapace is making its daily patrol with steady steps.

Since witnessing the godlike figure and abilities of the "boss" that day, and being enlightened by the strange aura, it has regarded maintaining the order of this water area and fulfilling the boss's entrustment as its supreme mission.

These days, day and night, it keeps the turtles and tortoises in perfect order: where to live, where to forage, how to avoid human fishing hooks, and how to "manage" those strange objects that fall into the water from the shore.

The increased feeding by humans on shore is, in its view, proof of effective management and the prosperity of the waters.

It also learned a lot from this experience, such as what types of items are more likely to cause a bigger commotion.

Humans are indeed different from turtles and tortoises; they actually prefer the dead to the living.

Just as it was calculating which of its "stockpiled" fish to place at which popular fishing spot, a blue turtle swam rapidly against the current, its voice urgent: "Hua Gong! Report from the front: a human, possibly from the boss's entourage, is on the shore!"

"What?!" The giant tortoise lost all composure, its neck suddenly stretched out and began to throb rapidly.

Is he going to personally inspect the area? This is of paramount importance!

It acted decisively, "Quick! Pass down the order to halt all 'regular item' drops! Prepare the 'big guy' we found in the downstream swamp a few days ago! Be quick!"

"Master Hua, that thing... is too heavy, and it's stuck too deep. We've tried to move it, but we can't," said the blue turtle with difficulty.

"Go ask the crocodile brothers for help!" the giant tortoise said without hesitation. At this moment, it was extremely grateful that its leader had subdued that water tyrant; it was truly a brilliant move.

With the brute strength of a crocodile, dragging heavy objects is not difficult.

The orders were given like a landslide. The entire underwater intelligence network instantly sprang into action at high speed.

The turtles and tortoises that gave the order scattered in all directions, and a large number of them were moved towards the swamp. Even the usually lazy crocodiles joined the digging and transport team.

In an instant, the underwater currents surged and the mud and sand churned, all the force was concentrated on the "heavyweight exhibit", naturally leaving no time to "replenish the supply" to various fishing spots.

On the shore, a long-awaited calm appeared – the fishing rods remained motionless for a long time, and the usual debris rarely took the bait.

"Oh, it's so quiet?" A young man who was taking a walk looked at the calm river and joked casually, "Looks like it's Christmas Eve."

Officer Mu, who was talking quietly with his colleagues not far away, frowned almost imperceptibly upon hearing this.

In their line of work, such remarks are somewhat taboo. Especially after meeting Consultant Qin, he became even more convinced of these things.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced in Qin Ming's direction and saw that the other was still looking at the water with an unreadable expression, which made him even more nervous.

He held his breath, counting the seconds that followed. The water remained calm, the last rays of the setting sun faded, and the sky turned a dusky blue.

The handover time is approaching, with only five minutes left.

Officer Mu breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards his colleague who had arrived to take over the shift, completing the final handover.

Then, he turned and walked towards Qin Ming, a sincere smile appearing on his face: "Advisor Qin, thanks to you, today seems to have gone fairly well..."

"Splash—!!!"

"Bang—thump!!!"

Before he could finish speaking, a huge splash of water erupted from the middle of the river behind him!

It sounded as if some enormous thing was stirring up the water, followed by a series of muffled thuds as if heavy objects were hitting each other.

The crowd erupted instantly! Gasps, screams, and gasps of shock filled the air.

Officer Mu turned around abruptly.

Under the dim light, only a vaguely outlined black object could be seen being pulled by a fishing line, half hanging on the shore, with most of it still submerged in the water.

An indescribable, yet intensely pungent, putrid stench, like a smoke bomb exploding, spread rapidly with the ripples and evening breeze, assaulting everyone's olfactory senses.

This smell... would be nauseating and physically unpleasant for ordinary people, but for Officer Mu and his colleagues, it was a smell so familiar it was almost piercing. It was a smell they would never recall at certain scenes, yet would never mistake.

All the officers' faces turned serious at the same time. They exchanged glances, their hopes completely dashed.

Officer Mu's heart sank. From a personal perspective, he desperately wanted this to happen, especially since he was about to leave work and had even invited Consultant Qin.

But from the moment he entered this industry, he had this awareness and went on without hesitation.

His entire body tensed automatically, his mind racing. "Advisor, I..."

"Understood." Qin Ming interrupted him as soon as he spoke, his words concise and to the point: "Go ahead and get busy. If you need any help, just call me and I'll come."

"Okay!" Officer Mu said no more, immediately turned around, and while loudly directing his colleagues to disperse the onlookers and set up a cordon, he took out his phone to report urgently. His figure was swallowed up by the busy team of police officers.

The stench in the air lingered.

The fishermen and walkers who had originally wanted to get closer to watch the excitement quickly retreated, covering their noses and showing fear and disgust, under the "education" of the smell and the serious dispersal by the police.

Many people felt a churning in their stomachs and almost vomited. Qin Ming was somewhat relieved that his stomach was empty at the moment.

Amidst the noise, chaos, and pungent smell, Qin Ming vaguely realized that the Golden Pearl of Merit in his mind was glowing again...

How could he not know what had happened?
