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

It seems that with the large consumption of the scale powder, the presence of the black hole has returned to normal. Or, when Qin Ming and Lao Li pay special attention and consciously search for it, the black hole's residual concealment properties are no longer enough to block perception.

Qin Ming pondered to himself that this ability might be related to the energy reserves of the black hole and the level of attention it receives from others.

As for the anxious and flustered Old Li, as soon as he left the dark environment, he squinted to adjust to the light, and then his eyes swept across the area and locked onto the black hole that was half-attached to Keda's wings and was still excitedly "humming".

Seeing that the black hole was unharmed, Old Li visibly breathed a sigh of relief, but then his expression turned somewhat awkward.

The words he shouted could not be taken back. He subconsciously raised his hand, first to push up his glasses, then to scratch his head, then his neck itched, and his arms felt uncomfortable. In short, he felt unwell all over.

Shou Shan dutifully squatted beside the black hole, maintaining a vigilant posture while his moist brown eyes glanced back at his spirit master, carrying a sense of "mission accomplished, target here."

Seeing this, Qin Ming took the initiative to ease the atmosphere: "Researcher Li, you've come at the right time. This little guy is really strange. When he strolled over just now, neither Keda nor I noticed him. We only realized it when he 'showed up' on his own."

This advice proved effective.

Old Li's attention was instantly drawn, and his researcher's instincts overcame all embarrassment: "An abnormally low presence? It's even reached an almost 'stealth' effect?"

But he's only level 7! Theoretically, he shouldn't possess such high-level stealth or mental interference skills!

The more he spoke, the brighter his eyes became, the light behind his glasses almost bursting out. His mind was already rapidly calculating the enormous potential value of this ability in reconnaissance, infiltration, information transmission, and even specific tactical coordination.

"If we could reliably control or even target and enhance this, the strategic significance would be..."

However, before he could finish his excited deduction, he was interrupted by a slow, deliberate voice from the side.

Little Fatty swam slowly from the edge of the spring, tilting his head back with his dark, jade-like head, and said in a calm but certain tone, "Boss, the turtle saw it just now."

"Huh?" Qin Ming and Lao Li, who were immersed in their fantasies about "invisible agents," were both taken aback and turned to look at each other with questioning eyes—You saw it? Are you sure?

The school bully cat, who recently established a strategic partnership with Xiaopang through "aquaculture," also leaped lightly and landed next to Xiaopang. Its icy blue cat eyes swept over everyone, and it elegantly flicked its tail, adding, "The cat saw it too."

Qin Ming and Lao Li were taken aback again, exchanging bewildered glances: Huh? Could our guess have been wrong?

It's not that black holes are too powerful to be ignored, but rather that we ourselves... were simply distracted?

Qin Ming still couldn't quite believe it, so he turned his questioning gaze to Cang Xuan, who was the most reliable person present and the least likely to play pranks.

A rare hesitation flashed in Cang Xuan's icy blue eyes. He looked at the composed Little Fatty, then at the school bully cat, and finally met Qin Ming's questioning gaze.

After a few seconds of silence, he finally nodded slowly but with unwavering determination.

Qin Ming remained silent for a full two seconds.

A sense of absurdity welled up within them. So, it wasn't that the black hole's abilities were incredibly powerful, but rather that these several living, breathing people were collectively blind? No…

Qin Ming's tone was tinged with disbelief, "But you all saw it, why didn't you remind me?"

Even a single utterance would be appreciated! Do people just love watching him make a scene?

When asked this question, the little fat boy's round, black bean-like eyes widened even more. While pondering his own reliability, he suddenly realized that his front paws were quite cute, chubby, and looked very chewy.

So he opened his mouth and took a bite of his webbed toes, studying the texture intently, oblivious to everything else.

Seeing this, the school bully cat had a sudden realization in its icy blue eyes. It lowered its head and began to lick and groom its fur with utmost focus and care.

Cang Xuan was clearly incapable of feigning ignorance, but when Qin Ming's gaze fell on him again, he stiffly and silently looked away, gazing into the void.

"According to your normal habits..." Qin Ming's gaze shifted from the chubby cat biting its paw to the cat licking its fur, his tone becoming somewhat uncertain, "...you wouldn't be so eager to see me make a fool of myself... would you?"

When he mentioned Little Fatty, he visibly paused, suddenly becoming a little less confident. But when he looked at Cang Xuan, his resolve strengthened somewhat.

The school bully cat, a new resident, paused in its grooming when Qin Ming glanced at it, looking a little anxious. But when it caught a glimpse of the little fat cat calmly studying its paws, it followed suit, calming down as if its grooming business couldn't be delayed for even a moment.

Cang Xuan, caught between being a "teammate pretending to be stupid" and a "confused spirit master," was in a very difficult position. He looked at Qin Ming, then at the chubby boy playing with his paws, wanting to say something but unsure how to begin.

In the ensuing awkward and confused silence, it was Little Fatty who finally couldn't hold back any longer.

He spat out his wet paws, looked up and admitted, "Even the tortoise can't say exactly why."

"When I saw the black hole quietly flying over, not only did I not want to warn you, but I was actually... really curious to see what would happen next. Hmm, I also managed to grab Cang Xuan along the way."

The explanation is complete, logically consistent, and presented with a composed attitude.

Qin Ming: "..." He suddenly felt so tired.

With Little Fatty as a "breakthrough point," Cang Xuan was no longer troubled.

He turned his gaze away from the starry sky, recalling and pondering, "Little Fatty was right...."

"I did see the black hole and followed it, but just as I was about to warn you, a... inexplicable feeling stopped me."

"It wasn't as simple as being pulled back by Little Fatty. It was more like I stopped myself subconsciously, and a kind of unprecedented curiosity arose in my heart—a desire to 'see what happens next'."

"Looking back now, that emotion came on rather abruptly, and it was not in line with my usual way of doing things. It was indeed strange."

"Hmm," Little Fatty nodded in agreement, "The turtle feels the same way. It just feels... like we should keep an eye on it and not disturb it."

"Alright." Qin Ming rubbed his throbbing temples. It seems the mysterious aspect of a black hole's "luck" or "concealment" ability lies not only in reducing its own presence, but also in subtly influencing the thoughts and decisions of surrounding beings at crucial moments.

Perhaps it's an amplified coincidence, or perhaps it's some kind of superficial psychological suggestion; in any case, it's somewhat illogical.

But no matter how mysterious this ability is, the most urgent thing is to grow up quickly! Otherwise, with a black hole's small size, charging for a whole week and then only being used for a few seconds in actual combat is too ineffective.

Qin Ming squatted down, comforted the still excited Black Hole, told him to eat well and grow up, and then solemnly handed him back to Old Li, whose eyes had been rekindled with the flame of research, and to Keda, who volunteered to "protect the little brother".

Just as he finished dealing with this, Qin Ming's phone in his pocket started vibrating continuously.

He took it out to check and found that it was a message sent by Xuan Jin and Zeng Guian at almost the same time.

Zeng Guian's messages were as energetic and resentful as ever, filled with complaints about the school team's "inhumane" extra training programs, such as "weighted cross-country 'chasing the wind wolf'", "elemental resistance training", and "tactical reviews until late at night"...

The words, however, conveyed a sense of "pain and pleasure intertwined." Qin Ming glanced at them a few times and smiled slightly.

Since this guy voluntarily goes every day and even came here to "complain," he must have gained a lot. At the very least, his physical fitness and combat awareness must be improving rapidly.

He simply replied with "Keep going, hang in there" and then moved on.

Qin Ming raised an eyebrow at the news about Xuan Jin. This array genius and friend was aloof and focused on his own world, rarely taking the initiative to contact him, which was quite unusual.

On the screen were two short lines of text:

"The instructors at the Array Academy asked me to find you."

"Also, is the cat home?"
