Beast Taming: Starting from Transmigration and Starting with a Cheat Code
Chapter 300 Colleagues
I was so focused on rationalizing the incident that I didn't expect everyone to accept it so quickly. They've all learned to apply what they've learned to other situations and are even piloting and promoting it.
Qin Ming's lips twitched, knowing that if this matter were to be truly developed, it would be entirely beneficial to him.
There are precedents for using the characteristics of domesticated animals to save or make up for the lack of manpower, and it seems that his actions are within the understanding and acceptance of the public.
Under the expectant and intense gazes of the crowd, Qin Ming hesitated briefly, and instead of making any grand promises, chose a more cautious approach:
"Turtles do have a strong instinct to imitate, learn, and follow their own kind, especially in foraging and exploring new environments. This idea... is theoretically worth trying."
However, when it comes to tracking and locating specific targets, especially when it involves intangible objects like physical evidence in a case, the extent to which these methods can achieve still requires extensive observation and guidance.
His answer, which left room for maneuver and did not make any hasty promises, actually made the frogman leader nod slightly, making him feel more reliable.
The frogman leader gave Qin Ming a deep look, the scrutiny in his eyes fading considerably. He then extended his hand and formally introduced himself: "Xu Zhengang, currently serving in the Underwater Assault Team of the Yunhai City Special Police Detachment."
Consultant Qin has opened up new avenues of thought for us. However, we must take things one step at a time, and eat one bite at a time.
He then changed the subject, proposing a specific plan that seemed both tentative and inviting: "Since Consultant Qin's turtle shows a unique interest in the underwater environment, would it be convenient for you to bring it along to assist our underwater observation work for the next few days?"
"We can allocate manpower to try to track and observe it and the turtles' activity patterns and preferred areas within a relatively safe range, to see if we can discover some... 'unexpected surprises'."
This request was exactly what Qin Ming wanted. Not only would it give him a legitimate reason to "participate" in the investigation, but it would also allow him to subtly guide the investigation's direction.
He immediately nodded in agreement: "Captain Xu, you're too kind. Cooperating with the investigation is the least I can do. I'm free these next few days, I can bring it over."
Xu Zhengang nodded in satisfaction, but when his gaze swept over Qin Ming's slender and tall figure, which clearly did not require long-term high-intensity physical training, a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.
It's a pity. He's quite intelligent and has special skills, but his physique doesn't seem capable of withstanding the high pressure and complex environment underwater. Otherwise, he could have been recruited into the team...
He shook his head, dismissing the unrealistic idea, and turned to look at one of the people in the group.
"Ge Wei!" Xu Zhengang called out.
"Here!" A lean and fit young team member with a healthy tan from years of sun exposure and underwater work immediately stepped forward.
He was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a neat short haircut, regular features, and a sunny and capable air about him. He was the one who had attracted Little Fatty's attention underwater earlier.
"Since the idea of 'using turtle characteristics to assist in exploration' was first proposed by you through your observations, and you are probably the one among us who understands turtle habits the most, you will be in charge of tomorrow's initial tracking and observation task alone."
Xu Zhengang's tone was serious, with a hint of a test, "Are you confident you can complete it?"
"Yes! I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" Ge Wei's answer was crisp and clear, his eyes bright; this mission was exactly what he wanted.
After the others dispersed to continue their work or rest, Ge Wei walked directly towards Qin Ming.
He wore a bright yet slightly embarrassed smile, his gaze fixed intently on the chubby boy who had just returned and was now lazily sunbathing at Qin Ming's feet.
"Advisor Qin!" Ge Wei's voice was warm and familiar. "You've taken excellent care of your tortoise! It's glossy, shiny, and full of life!"
"Since we'll be working together as 'partners' starting tomorrow, I figured I should get to know this 'turtle colleague' better first! What does it like to eat? Does it have any special preferences or quirks?"
After removing his heavy diving helmet and mask, Ge Wei's appearance was more clearly revealed to Qin Ming.
His well-proportioned and upright physique is the result of long-term rigorous training, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his movements are characterized by a coordinated sense of strength.
With well-defined facial features, a straight nose, and a slight curve at the corners of his eyes when he smiles, he appears sincere and cheerful, the kind of "sunny and handsome" type that easily wins people's favor.
However, at this moment, he squatted down, carefully extending a finger to touch Little Fatty's carapace, his eyes focused and fascinated as he examined every detail.
This adds a touch of silliness to the ruggedness that is unique to professional frogmen, making him seem like a "turtle keeper".
That familiar, captivating look when seeing a pet instantly bridged the distance between Qin Ming and the pet.
Their shared identity created a natural affinity between him and Ge Wei.
"Him?" Qin Ming also squatted down, his tone carrying a subtle pride of his own child being praised, as well as a desire to complain cultivated through long-term "battles of wits".
"His most prominent characteristic is his love of food. He loves to eat, can eat a lot, and will go to any lengths for food. He'll act innocent, act cute, pretend not to understand, and pester relentlessly... his acting skills are top-notch."
"It doesn't like regular turtle food. It only likes fresh and good food. Ever since it tasted shrimp and fish, it refuses to eat any synthetic turtle food."
"I was worried that he would be lonely with just a turtle, so I found some fish and shrimp for him to keep him company. They were all bigger than him, but he ate them all and his weight skyrocketed."
"Haha! Being able to eat is a blessing! Turtles with good constitutions eat a lot!" Ge Wei couldn't stop smiling as he listened and shared, "I also have one at home, but its eyesight seems to be a bit poor."
"Every time I feed it, it keeps poking its head left and right. Even though the meat is right in front of it, it will peck at the air several times. Finally, when it gets impatient, it grabs my finger and bites it!"
Qin Ming felt a sudden, inexplicable pain in his finger. It turns out that every family has its own troubles!
Ge Wei: "But to be honest, I really envy those turtles that are very interactive. When you feed them, they will chase your hand and look at you, as if they can really understand what you are saying."
That pet-owning experience was absolutely amazing!
"And I've always dreamed of owning a big turtle, preferably an alligator snapping turtle! It's majestic and imposing, and looks really powerful!" The longing in her eyes was impossible to hide.
As Qin Ming listened, he subconsciously stroked his chin, glancing at the sunny frogman in front of him, who was full of longing for the "giant turtle" and "alligator snapping turtle," and then he thought of the real crocodile currently hiding in a muddy swamp at the bottom of the river, being forcibly "silent" by Little Fatty...
His expression became somewhat subtle for a moment, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
