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

"I understand!" A young researcher suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted, attracting everyone's attention.

He pointed to the black butterflies on the monitor screen, which had just undergone metamorphosis and were now in various shapes, then looked at the black hole on Qin Ming's shoulder, his eyes shining:

"Think about it! Black Hole is the first individual in our entire Ink Butterfly research project to successfully complete its metamorphosis and awaken special attributes! Isn't that the best proof of being 'blessed by good fortune'?"

The first to emerge from its cocoon is exceptionally blessed, possessing countless opportunities, so it makes perfect sense that it awakens the "lucky" attribute!

These words were spoken with conviction and were logically consistent.

"That makes sense!" someone agreed. "The first one is always special! Just like many legendary mythical beasts that were the first to be born in the world, they often possessed talents or characteristics that were difficult for later generations to match."

"That makes sense. Being 'first' inherently represents a kind of destiny that breaks with convention and sets a precedent."

Old Li stroked his chin, nodded thoughtfully, and looked at the black hole with a more profound sense of regard for the "miracle creator."

Thus, the mystery of the origin of the "lucky attribute" that had been troubling everyone was given a reasonable and convincing explanation through this process of self-imagination.

Qin Ming didn't even need to think about how much of his mysterious golden bead's "contribution" should be concealed; everyone had already found a perfect "fatalistic" reason for the black hole's uniqueness.

The following time became a "blind box opening" frenzy for the project team.

One after another, black butterflies emerged from their cocoons. Although there was no second "lucky" attribute, which was an incredible prize, other "lucky" events kept popping up, bringing one surprise after another.

The first mini-climax occurred when a black butterfly with wings displaying a soft, milky-white halo and scales that, according to tests, had a stable "mildly healing and soothing" effect.

Healing-type spirit beasts are already rare, and the size and supportive nature of the Ink Butterfly make it very suitable as a companion for non-combatants. One can easily imagine how popular this little guy with its still-trembling wings will be in the future.

After several relatively ordinary metamorphosises, a black butterfly with wings patterned like an abstract maze and compound eyes shimmering with strange purple light emerged from its cocoon.

The testing equipment instantly displayed a series of high values—mental level!

Moreover, it leans towards the spiritual category of "amplification and enlightenment"!

Preliminary assessment suggests that after forming a contract with a Spirit Master, depending on the mutual understanding between the two parties and the quality of the Ink Butterfly itself, it can provide the Spirit Master with a cultivation efficiency increase ranging from 10% to 30% at the same level!

The terrifying effect of this aid in cultivation caused all the researchers present, including Qin Ming, to gasp in shock.

If Qin Ming didn't already have the more efficient and side-effect-free "cheat code" of the Mysterious Golden Pearl in his spiritual power cultivation, and if the "luck" attribute of the Black Hole wasn't irreplaceable, then in terms of the practical value of this spiritual-type Ink Butterfly and its contribution to the long-term development of a Spirit Master, it would probably be no less than the Black Hole!

Unlike Qin Ming, the others didn't have this "sweet trouble." This psychic black butterfly was immediately regarded as a treasure by the project team.

They were immediately ushered into a "private villa" that had been prepared beforehand, equipped with top-notch constant temperature and humidity and spiritual nourishing patterns. They were cared for and had their data recorded by dedicated staff 24 hours a day, receiving treatment comparable to that of a national treasure.

The surprises continue: "Shadow-Traversing Individuals Appear!"

"This creature's scales possess the property of 'weak energy absorption'!"

"Look at this one! Its wings are almost transparent, and its scales have the potential for 'optical deflection,' so it might be a rare stealth type!"

Cheers, exclamations, and excited discussions filled the laboratory, creating a festive atmosphere.

The emergence of each new attribute represents a major breakthrough for the project team in the field of artificial breeding of spirit beasts, and its academic value and potential application prospects are immeasurable.

Old Li's face beamed like a blooming chrysanthemum. He patted Qin Ming's shoulder forcefully, his voice trembling slightly, "Qin Ming! It's a success! Thanks to you, this project is absolutely the most successful research project in the academy this year... no, in the last ten years, without a doubt!"

"Don't worry, the academy points and resource rewards you deserve will only increase, not decrease! I'll personally apply for the highest level of contribution reward for you!"

He lowered his voice, speaking with utmost sincerity: "Moreover, with such a vast and successful body of firsthand research data to support us, any subsequent exploration of black hole evolutionary paths or special resource needs will be prioritized and supplied at cost price, as long as the academy has it in its inventory or we can find a way to obtain it! The academy is eager to continue following up on this 'special case'!"

With this, the dust has settled, and the results are plentiful.

Everyone congratulated each other, their faces beaming with the pure and radiant smiles of researchers seeing the fruits of their labor blossom.

Soon, news of the "Creation Spirit" project team's major breakthrough and successful mass cultivation of various rare attribute ink butterflies spread like wildfire throughout the entire Magic City Academy.

The students were ecstatic!

Although the number of the first batch of successfully transformed Ink Butterflies is still far too small compared to the large number of students, they will most likely be distributed by the academy as special rewards to outstanding contributors, or exchanged for high-end resources internally.

However, once there's a first batch, there will be a second and a third!

Moreover, the message clearly stated that this batch of Ink Butterflies contained many rare attributes that were previously unthinkable, such as healing, mental, and shadow attributes!

These attributes are something that most ordinary students would normally only dream of!

Although rare attributes are certainly even rarer, at least there's hope!

In an instant, the atmosphere throughout the entire Magic City Academy became light and cheerful.

The students walked along the road, discussing the wonders of the Ink Butterfly and imagining how they would raise one if they were lucky enough to get one, their faces beaming with anticipation for the future.

Even the matches on the training field have taken on a stronger drive to "perform well and earn resources".

However, some are happy while others are sad.

Thousands of miles away, at the Northern Azure Dragon Academy.

"What does 'the head chef is away for exchange, with no return date in sight' even mean?!"

A large group of students with unfriendly expressions were gathered in front of the cafeteria bulletin board. The leaders were a few people with a fierce aura, clearly not ordinary students.

A boy with a buzz cut and sharp eyes pointed at the brand-new announcement, his expression filled with disbelief and barely suppressed anger.

In the Lingwu Continent, the academy provides extremely strict protection for students in the lower and middle grades.

Because the wild is full of dangerous spirit beasts and unknown treacherous places, unless senior students are on specific missions or graduation training, junior and middle students study, live and cultivate on campus almost the entire time.

They have no choice but to "commuter" or "order takeout," and their meals, three times a day and all year round, are basically dependent on the college cafeteria.

This chef, who is "going out for exchanges and whose return date is uncertain," is the most beloved and respected master chef in the Canglong Academy cafeteria.

Not only is he a master chef, capable of transforming ordinary ingredients into something magical, but he is also skilled at preparing various "spiritual dishes" that are beneficial to cultivation.

His signature dishes, such as "Dragon Tendon Stewed with Snow Ginseng" which can gently temper the body, "Heart-Clearing Jade Dew Soup" which helps stabilize the spiritual core, and even "Five Elements Convergence Soup" which can temporarily enhance elemental perception, are all treasures that students will definitely redeem after accumulating enough points.

The departure of this head chef has seriously affected the quality of life and cultivation progress of the students at Canglong Academy.

"Why would Master Liu suddenly go for an exchange program? I've never heard of it before!" a girl lamented. "I haven't even redeemed my 'Clear Heart Jade Dew Soup' quota for this month yet!"

"Has anyone found out where Master Liu went?" Zhao Lie, the boy with the buzz cut and a prodigy on the Canglong Academy's combat power list, asked in a deep voice, his gaze sweeping across the crowd.

A short student shakily squeezed through the crowd from the back, his face showing nervousness and bewilderment at having found out the news: "Brother Lie... I found out... Chef Liu... he seems to have gone to the Shanghai Academy... he said it was for a 'culinary exchange'."

"What?! Shanghai Academy?!" The crowd exclaimed in unison, many with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

In the Spirit Martial Continent, strength reigns supreme, and there is also implicit competition and hierarchy among academies.

Azure Dragon Academy is located in the north, and its overall strength has always been comparable to that of Magic City Academy, which is located on the eastern coast. Neither dares to say that it is superior to the other, but they are at least equal rivals.

But where is there such a "communication"?

Without saying a word, they "exchanged" away the academy's top chef, a figure who could be considered a "strategic resource."

And it's a one-sided deal with no return date? That doesn't sound friendly at all; it sounds more like they're trying to poach your partner!

"This is outrageous!" Zhao Lie sneered, his eyes blazing with anger. Several of his companions, whose auras were equally formidable, also showed indignation.

"Brother Lie, this can't just end like this!" one of his companions said through gritted teeth. "Master Liu's spiritual food is crucial for me to break through to the next level!"

"Exactly! What right did the Magic City Academy have to ask them to leave? What did they use to do that? We need to find out!"

"Let's go!" Zhao Lie took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, a sharp glint in his eyes. "We'll apply for exchange student spots! We'll go to the Shanghai Academy! Let's see what tricks they're up to, and while we're at it—we'll 'invite' Master Liu back in a respectable manner!"

"Yes! Request an exchange! Bring the head chef back!" A group of people, full of enthusiasm, marched off in a grand procession.
