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

Although it was somewhat of a lucky accident, the experience of the people on the shore was a bit bad, and the frogmen who had to go back into the water a second time before they had a good rest were a bit tired, the future looks bright from the perspective of how the event unfolded.

—At least, the expensive and crucial underwater camera was not damaged and was sent to a more valuable location.

Amidst a flurry of chaotic commands and urgent discussions—"The camera was dragged away by an unknown creature," "Analyze its movement trajectory," "Prepare to intercept or track it"—Qin Ming tried to interject a few words, but was quickly drowned out by a more professional and anxious chorus of voices.

He was happy to have some peace and quiet, and stepped aside, getting a rare taste of the feeling of being a "layman consultant" with little influence.

Therefore, Qin Ming did not comment on Xiao Pang's behavior of frolicking underwater, dragging the camera around, and running around the small boats on the surface and the frogmen who were trying to surround and intercept him.

It's all for the sake of secrecy and the legitimacy of the operation, which is understandable.

Perhaps the Xuan Turtle's power level far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people. This heavy device, which theoretically required tools to move, was handled by Little Fatty with perfect stability. It traveled all the way without any bumps or damage.

This gave the technicians on shore a glimmer of hope that the equipment was "intact," but at the same time, the constantly moving icons on the screen added a sense of despair that was beyond human control.

Several team members responsible for equipment logistics were already drafting an investigation report in their minds, titled "Analysis of the Causes of the Accidental Loss of Expensive Professional Equipment."

Even the nerves of everyone on the shore were about to snap. Little Fatty finally felt he had "slipped away" enough and swam to his destination.

He slowed down, carefully searching for a suitable "camera position".

—It can't be too low, otherwise the view will be obstructed; it can't be too far away, otherwise the image quality will be unclear... There are quite a few things to pay attention to if you want to take a good shot.

Actually, Xiao Pang himself was quite willing to be a photographer, but unfortunately Qin Ming sternly warned him and did not approve of the dizzying perspective of Xiao Pang, who failed to capture any of the scenery along the way and only kept spinning and jumping.

Finally, after Qin Ming repeatedly warned him to "handle with care! Pay attention to the angle! Don't shove it into the mud!", Xiao Pang chose a spot on the edge of a small, slightly raised slope in the riverbed.

He carefully placed the camera on relatively flat sand and gravel, and even "thoughtfully" used his paws to poke at the surrounding water plants to ensure that the view in front of the lens was not blocked, while still maintaining a certain degree of natural camouflage.

When the camera stopped moving and the transmitted image changed from a blurry, rapidly moving light and shadow to a relatively stable underwater landscape, the technician at the monitoring station on shore, who had been tracking the signal and analyzing the situation, almost cried out:

"Signal stable! Image transmission normal! Lens... the lens seems fine too! Oh my God!"

Even Qin Ming relaxed his brows and breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this exclamation.

Fortunately, although Xiao Pang loves to play around, he is reliable when it matters and didn't actually break the public equipment.

Subsequently, in the clear footage transmitted from the new fixed camera position, occasionally some turtles and tortoises could be seen curiously swimming in front of the lens, or peeking out from the aquatic plants not far away.

The people on the shore were no longer surprised by this phenomenon. "It seems that there are quite a few turtles in this area, and the ecological environment is well preserved."

until--

"Wait! Look at that turtle's back! What's that?!"

"And that turtle in the back! What... what's that floating on its shell? Seaweed? No, the color's wrong!"

"There's one here too! What's that little one carrying in its mouth? It looks like... a snail? Oh, that's normal... wait! Look at the one next to it, what's it rummaging through in its paws? A rusty... nut? Or an iron ring?"

In the video, several turtles and tortoises of different sizes have some "extra decorations" on or around their bodies.

On the edge of the carapace of the slightly smaller old spotted tortoise, a small, curved, dark-colored metal plate is stuck, swaying gently as it swims.

The old turtle swimming slowly past from behind had strands of dark green algae attached to its carapace, interspersed with a few thin, brightly colored plastic straps, swaying with the current.

Some of the little turtles had huge snails in their mouths and were playing happily with a couple of small nuts and iron rings in their claws.

This bizarre scene left everyone on the shore, who were watching the screen, speechless and in a brief silence.

Why are there so many strange turtles coming out of the riverbed today?

In the ensuing silence, someone blurted out, "Wow... is this some kind of new fashion trend among the turtle tribe?"

"It's still going for a 'wasteland industrial style' and an 'eco-friendly mix'!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming subconsciously glanced at the young technician who had exclaimed in surprise, his lips twitching slightly.

You know what... given Little Fatty's status and influence among the turtles and tortoises in this area, he might actually be unintentionally leading a "new trend" in the underwater turtle and tortoise world?

This even justifies his behavior; it seems that Little Fatty sometimes really does have a bit of luck.

Glancing at the chubby little turtle, which had changed its size again and become the size of a palm, Qin Ming muttered to himself.

"This body of water...something's not right!" The experienced frogman leader, after looking around, suddenly changed his tone, reminding the relaxed group.

"Ge Wei, you're expected to be the first to arrive at the scene. Try not to disturb these turtles; they seem to have evidence on them!"

"receive!"

With Xiao Pang secretly directing the release of water and Ge Wei's skillful massage and tickling of the turtles, the frogman team successfully obtained suspected evidence.

As soon as it was pulled from the water, everyone's expression changed; the pungent stench was all too familiar.

Perhaps because the evidence was given by the tortoise, many people's gaze towards tortoises and turtles has changed.

Some even proactively asked, "Advisor Qin, are there any traces of your turtle in here?"

"Yes," Qin Ming continued before everyone's expression changed drastically, "but it's alright, he should be back soon. I didn't say it before because he was underwater for too long and I was worried he might drown. It seems he just went off to play somewhere far away."

Everyone remained silent, handling their tasks while waiting patiently until a round, palm-sized ink turtle actually appeared!

The scene caused a sensation. Qin Ming awkwardly touched his nose. "Actually, turtles are very curious and like to dig in the sand, so it's inevitable that they sometimes get tangled up."

He was trying his best to rationalize the incident.

"If turtles in other waters could do this, our job would be much easier."

Some of the people who had just landed joked that although the day had been a bit bumpy, the result was very rewarding, and it was always pleasant to be able to finish early and rest.

"Advisor Qin, do you think it's possible to have your turtle teach turtles in other river basins?" Ge Wei, who had been staring intently at Little Fatty, suddenly blurted out.

But as soon as he said that, although it sounded absurd, everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to Qin Ming.

"Advisor Qin, in your opinion, is this feasible?" This was the first time the frogman team leader had formally addressed Qin Ming today.
