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

With the black hole appearing at this moment, even if Qin Ming was slow to realize, he would understand that the strange source of the absurd drama just now most likely lay with the black butterfly that was flapping its wings and looking like it was asking for praise.

The test board had turned to dust, so there was clearly no way to retake it or tamper with the records.

But watching Keda go from being completely bewildered at first, to slowly coming to her senses, her eyes growing brighter and brighter, even pacing excitedly; and then looking at the black hole, though exhausted, couldn't hide her smugness, her tentacles practically reaching for the sky...

The last bit of speechlessness and headache Qin Ming felt about the homework mess was gradually lightened by the emotions of the two spirit beasts.

"Gah~ Gah-lulu~~"

Keda and the black hole exchanged their thoughts, and Keda, unusually, did not mind the other's slow word choice and sentence structure, but this gave him time to translate for Qin Ming.

Qin Ming's face beamed with a light smile, until—

"What does it mean to be frugal and save every penny, only to have a week's worth of savings wiped out?"

Everything that had happened before was relatively normal, but Qin Ming couldn't stay calm after hearing this sentence: Did the project team know that there was a spirit beast in the project team who just ate and didn't do any work?

Their meticulously cared-for "research subjects," who were so worried they were practically losing their hair, appeared to be picky eaters and lethargic, but were actually secretly storing up energy?!

This is practically a mythical beast version of "office slacking off" and "secret preparations"!

Qin Ming suddenly felt a little sorry for the researchers in the project team who were diligently recording data and analyzing the causes.

Speaking of project team members... where's Lao Li?

Qin Ming belatedly realized that he had been so engrossed in the shock of the "homework destroyer" that he had subconsciously overlooked the existence of the black hole and its appearance! This was abnormal! Very abnormal!

Even at home, no matter how relaxed I am, no matter how much my attention is drawn to Keda, a black butterfly flies over from the direction of the experimental field, fluttering its wings and scattering pollen...

How could I not have noticed such a commotion? I didn't even notice him until he showed up on his own and showed signs of exhaustion after running out of energy?

This cannot be explained simply by "daydreaming"!

He swore on his enhanced vision, which far exceeded 5.3, that his visual nerves received absolutely no valid signals about him before the black hole actively "revealed" itself!

This is not "not paying attention," but rather "being ignored" or even "being blocked" in a certain sense!

"Keda," Qin Ming's expression turned serious, "Go ask Black Hole how he got here... exactly? Did he do anything unusual from the experimental field to here?"

"Huh?" Keda tilted his head. Although he didn't understand why the spirit master was so concerned about this detail, he still did as he was told and asked in bird language.

The black hole blinked its compound eyes, responding somewhat blankly, "Ugh... it flew... flew here."

In his simplistic understanding, movement is simply flying with wings, so what's there to ask?

Qin Ming scratched his head and rephrased the question: "Um... I mean, Keda, before the black hole actively approached, did you 'see' or 'sense' it flying towards you?"

Awakened by the spirit master's remark, Dada was stunned. Her magnificent crested feathers trembled slightly, and confusion flashed in her eyes: "Quack... Right! Now that you mention it... I think I caught a glimpse of a black dot flashing by out of the corner of my eye, but for some reason... my brain automatically 'ignored' it! It wasn't until it 'gurgled' that I suddenly noticed it!"

Keda shook his head, trying to recall carefully, but the words of praise from the Spirit Master suddenly echoed in his mind, instantly cleansing his soul. His mind went blank, and his cheeks flushed slightly.

Qin Ming assumed that Keda Xiang's face was flushed with shame and that he couldn't recall the details, so he stopped asking and decided to observe him further later.

Keda now truly looked at his little brother Black Hole, who could help him unleash unprecedented critical damage, with a different attitude. After the Spirit Master stopped asking about it, he quickly forgot about that minor cognitive anomaly.

"Caw!" Keda spread out his broad wings and gently touched the butterfly's wing in mid-air, giving off a strange feeling of two good buddies.

"That skill you used just now was really interesting! When can we do it again? Next time, let's coordinate better and do something big!"

Keda was probably already fantasizing about the next performance; his eyes were frighteningly bright.

Upon hearing this, the black hole's eyes lit up immediately—he had done it! He had been recognized and needed by this small group!

How could you possibly learn something in that awful room?

"Snoring!!"

The black hole responded excitedly, its tentacles standing on end, "I'll go and try my best to eat! Even if... even if the food over there isn't as good as home, I'll still try my best to eat it!"

He raised his head, patted his chest with his tiny forelegs, and struck a pose as if he were making a vow to "accomplish his mission".

Qin Ming, whose message was relayed by the translator, was speechless.

Goodness, the project team members have solved the mystery on their own. Qin Ming's lips twitched as he sighed, thinking that sometimes it's really best for humans not to get involved in things between animals.

However, the problem of black holes' food and health has been solved, but Lao Li's research must continue, otherwise black holes will remain forever single butterflies, unable to find their own kind.

The types of butterflies that existed before the evolution of black holes are not rare. The project team has already urgently brought in quite a few, and with Qin Ming's help, there should be some breakthroughs.

Qin Ming turned around, his gaze sweeping over the house full of spirit beasts.

Leaving aside Little Fatty, Cangxuan, and Little Treasure, even Keda has evolved from a Black Water Duck into a more magnificent and powerful Luan bird form, which is quite rare in the world.

It seems that if Black Hole weren't alone, he would be somewhat out of place in their group. Thinking of this, Qin Ming suddenly felt an urge to kick Old Li out.

Fortunately, Qin Ming only thought about it; he didn't actually act impulsively to stop it.

Good, good, good.

Old Li's research is not merely to satisfy academic curiosity, but also to explore the possibilities of spirit beast evolution, to hope that more lucky beings like black holes might be born in the future, and to advance the field of spirit control. The significance of this far outweighs his own momentary selfishness.

He was also confident that each of his spirit beasts, under his careful nurturing, would become unique and irreplaceable.

However, Lao Li's research results will also be helpful to him. By pooling ideas and drawing inferences from one instance to another, he can try to learn from his experience.

Thinking and thinking...

With a not-so-small commotion, a panicked figure appeared before them. "Qin Ming, where's the black hole? Did you see it?!"

"I had Shoushan follow the scent to find me here..."

P.S.: The old man passed away. I feel nothing, my mind is blank, I want to cry but can't... I don't know what I should do, or what I can do... He ultimately couldn't get through his birth year.

Staying up all night and leaving at 5 a.m. tomorrow is a physical challenge, so I'll have to take the weekend off. I'm sorry.
