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

Having confirmed that Lao Li wasn't joking, Qin Ming simply took over the black hole as well.

"Since we're going to study compatibility, wouldn't it be more intuitive to have the 'participants' present?" Qin Ming's reasoning was impeccable, and Old Li nodded in support repeatedly.

The project team members, anxiously waiting for the original sample, were left with many questions when the sample never arrived and the black hole was taken away.

Even the usually reliable Lao Li only sent back a concise and mysterious message: "The situation is complicated, but the gains are huge. Wait for my good news. Don't disturb me."

When I tried to ask further questions or contact them, there was no response at all; it seemed like I had been blocked.

The group exchanged bewildered glances, their minds filled with doubt.

Where are the samples? Where is the black hole? Where is Old Li? What does "complex situation, huge gains" mean?

The empty observation box and the missing teammates left the researchers feeling as empty as the box itself.

Meanwhile, Qin Ming was quite satisfied with the current situation in the dormitory. The addition of Lao Li, an outsider, unexpectedly made this "haunted house"-style experimental field more controllable and constructive.

The biggest change came from the research methodology.

Cangxuan's perception of spiritual plants is purely based on "feeling" and is grounded in natural affinity and energy resonance. He knows which plant is emotionally stable, which one is irritable, and which two plants will "argue" when placed together, but he cannot describe it in quantitative language that humans can understand.

Old Li brought a complete set of portable high-precision detectors—a spiritual energy fluctuation spectrum analyzer, an elemental composition analyzer, an energy field strength measuring needle, and even a microenvironmental spiritual particle flow capture net.

When Cang Xuan pointed out that a "Dark Shadow Lily of the Valley" plant had recently been "in a bad mood and easily released powder that made insects dizzy," Lao Li's instrument immediately started beeping, and detailed data scrolled across the screen: "High-frequency spiritual particle disturbances were detected, accompanied by the continuous volatilization of trace amounts of 'rosemary' and 'phantomamine' molecules, with concentrations reaching the hallucinogenic threshold... It is speculated that this is caused by the root system being interfered with by the competitive spiritual particle adsorption of adjacent 'Devil's Claw Vine' plants..."

The mysterious "feeling" was instantly translated into clear, visible, and data-supported "scientific language".

This greatly inspired Qin Ming. He eagerly went over and looked at the fluctuating values ​​on the instrument. Pointing to a "Dark Erosion Fern" with serrated, fluorescent edges on its leaves and a ferocious appearance, he analyzed, "According to the composition of these leaves, in addition to being rich in shadow spiritual energy, they also contain high concentrations of 'neurotoxin A3' and 'scorching factor'?"

Upon contact, it can cause hallucinations, accompanied by intense tingling and burning sensations.

Old Li, who was carefully taking samples while fully equipped, suddenly trembled upon hearing this, and the tip of the sampler almost poked the dangerous leaf.

Qin Ming stroked his chin, his tone carrying a touch of technical skepticism: "However, this combination of toxins seems a bit... clumsy?"

"Such obvious warning signs as stinging and burning should immediately alert the victim, prompting them to take protective or detoxification measures, right? Isn't the goal of a toxin to be insidious and numbing? It should be combined with ingredients that cause numbness and slowed reaction time."

Old Li: "..."

He silently withdrew his outstretched arm, took a deep breath, and turned to look at Qin Ming with a complicated expression.

After Qin Ming finished speaking, he belatedly realized that his remarks about "optimizing the toxin formula" were somewhat disturbing in this situation.

He chuckled twice, took a step back, and waved his hand, saying, "Researcher Li, take your time with your research. Safety first, data second!"

"I suddenly remembered I have something else to do today. You go ahead and do your thing, no rush! Just tell Cangxuan if you need anything!"

After saying that, he quickly turned around and made a hasty escape.

Old Li watched Qin Ming's figure disappear beyond the barrier's light membrane, then looked at the cold sampler in his hand, and finally surveyed the dark and eerie forest of spiritual plants around him.

I suddenly can't understand myself, who was so excited just a few minutes ago.

"...Is it too late to regret it now?" he muttered to himself, feeling a chill run down his spine.

In the dimly lit corner, shadows flickered.

Cang Xuan had quietly crouched behind a tall clump of night raven bushes, his cold, beastly eyes flashing in the shadows as he silently monitored the only "outsider" in this territory.

This is his territory. Although he seemed quite professional when recording data and analyzing problems before, how long has it been before he started to slack off and lose focus? Unreliable.

As an experienced researcher, Lao Li has a keen sense of environmental perception.

He felt uneasy, so he calmed himself down and summoned his contracted spirit beast: "Guardian of the Mountain, come out and stretch your legs, and also keep watch over the surroundings for me."

A flash of light, and a well-proportioned white patrol dog with smooth muscle lines appeared at his feet.

Shoushan's snow-white fur was very conspicuous in the dark environment. With its alert eyes and keen sense of smell, it was an excellent helper for Lao Li.

Upon entering the scene, Shoushan affectionately nuzzled Old Li's hand, his nostrils flared, his ears perked up, and he let out a low, soothing purr.

With the mountain guard by his side, Old Li's unease was somewhat relieved.

He put his gloves back on, picked up the instruments, and his gaze returned to the strange spiritual plants. His researcher's instincts overcame his unease, and he muttered to himself:

"Alright, let's get started. Let's begin with the energy field compatibility analysis..."

-

Meanwhile, Qin Ming, who had slipped back to a relatively normal area of ​​his dormitory, needed to take care of some important matters first.

He looked at the phoenix standing on its perch, carefully preening a single sapphire blue feather on its chest with its beak.

"Keda, the course assignment the academy gave last week, 'Practical Application and Maximization of Basic Spirit Beast Skills,' requires analyzing the application strategies of 'Charge' skills in different battle situations using examples. I've almost finished my paper, but I need a few illustrative illustrations."

Qin Ming waved the photo stone in his hand. "Could you help me strike a few poses that clearly demonstrate the 'charging' posture, the energy gathering process, and the moment of explosion? Make them look cool and imposing so I can submit them with both pictures and text and try to get a high score example?"

Upon hearing this, Keda raised its head high, its magnificent figure seemingly bathed in a radiant glow. The feathers on its neck fluffed up excitedly, and its tail feathers gracefully unfurled in an arc.

Winning battles for spirit masters is the glory of spirit beasts, and being able to become a model for many students to observe and learn from in the academy classroom is also the highest honor and recognition!

He would definitely take on this task without hesitation!

"Caw—!" Keda let out a loud cry, spread its wings, and flew down from the perch.

He had already begun to conceive in his mind what kind of posture would best showcase his heroism and the oppressive aura of gathering power: would it be claws gripping the ground, wings half-spread, and a glint of light appearing in his throat? Or would it be hovering in mid-air, with sharp eyes and swirling air around him?

That energetic and performative chirp pierced the silence of the dormitory.

Next door, the Black Hole, who had just returned and was slumped over a special honey syrup, was feeling lazy and dizzy when its butterfly wings fluttered slightly.

He was quite busy during that "heartbreaking" week.

With his nascent intelligence and the desire to integrate into the family, he fluttered his little wings everywhere, asking questions and thinking carefully.

Finally, he realized a truth: for a newcomer like him to gain a foothold and recognition in a small group, he could never simply be a "pet" being fed.

He must make his own contribution and prove his worth!

At that moment, upon hearing Keda's call filled with a sense of mission, the black hole realized something—

An opportunity! This is a great chance to prove myself!

He didn't know what "accumulating power" meant, but he knew how to help others and how to demonstrate his abilities!

He flapped his increasingly deep and captivating dark wings and flew towards the "filming location" without hesitation, his small figure carrying an unwavering determination.

At the same instant the black hole rose, at the entrance to the experimental field's barrier, Cang Xuan, who had been feigning sleep with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes.

He glanced at the dark butterfly flying towards the center of the dormitory, then looked at Old Li, who was focused on recording data inside the barrier and had no time to pay attention to anything else.

After a moment of silence, Cang Xuan rose gracefully, his snow-white figure silently blending into the light, and quietly followed...
