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

Chapter 4 Confidence

Qin Ming wanted to take a step back and also wanted to say that people should maintain a polite social distance.

Don't come any closer, it's too close...

Because of the spaciousness of the duck house, Qin Ming had never seen so many black water ducks gathered in one place, not to mention the three little ducks right at his feet, whose fluffy texture felt wonderful.

Moved? Qin Ming didn't dare to move at all...

You have to understand that Yu Ling Middle School has nearly 1000 students in each grade, and they are counting on these 15 little cuties.

This stark contrast in proportions clearly demonstrates the immense value of these adorable children, who have been showered with love and affection since childhood.

If one animal is injured, being ganged up on by hundreds of people is a given.

Qin Ming dared not act rashly, especially since there were not just one, but three, on his feet!

Principal Wang Anmin was the first to come to his senses. "This student, choose your future partner! The little ones can't wait!"

No one had ever gotten the principal to give this comment before, because it meant Qin Ming had the right to vote against him.

In the past, no one had ever been able to win the affection of ducks so uniformly before becoming a formal beast tamer, because the preferences of young beasts are too varied and there has never been a consensus.

It wasn't until Qin Ming appeared that this seemingly unsolvable problem seemed to have an answer.

Keda firmly occupies the center position, so conspicuous that Qin Ming can recognize it.

Qin Ming did not disappoint Keda's trust. Without delay, he allowed the crystal-clear array to merge into Keda's body.

"Gah!" Pang let out a disappointed groan, his little golden eyes appearing and disappearing, but Qin Ming and Keda had no time to pay attention to them.

The next second, Qin Ming seemed to witness a miracle of life—Keda's body emitted a fluorescent glow, as if time itself was speeding up on it, the light-colored down quickly fading away, and more lustrous feathers beginning to appear.

Keda has visibly grown a size larger, just taller than its older brother Kepang.

This is utterly upside down!

But Pang could no longer hold back, and a golden tear fell to the ground.

Qin Ming panicked a little, not because of Ke Pang, or rather not just Ke Pang, because every little duckling present had tears in its eyes, and the next second, no, the next second, they had already started crying.

Qin Ming: I'm truly guilty of heinous crimes...

The ducks began to disperse, and the adult duck comforted the little duck. As they comforted each other, they all hugged each other and cried.

⊙▽⊙

If this continues, even Qin Ming himself will want to cry.

Just then, Keda woke up and saved Qin Ming from dire straits.

Qin Ming then realized that compared to the changes in Keda's feathers and physique, the biggest change was in his temperament, or rather, his eyes.

It's more perfect now, more insightful?

The change was so drastic that even though they were two black water ducks of the same size, Qin Ming was confident he could recognize Keda in a second!

The other ducks were even more heartbroken, and the crying, which had just stopped, started a new climax.

Amidst this chaos, Wang Anmin led Qin Ming away, leaving the guards to clean up the mess…

"Qin Ming, is that right? Do you know that intermediate and higher-level spirit gathering arrays cannot be used casually?" The principal's tone was somewhat serious.

Seeing Qin Ming's puzzled look, he gave him a hint: "Sense the concentration of spiritual energy here."

Upon realizing what had happened, Qin Ming gasped in shock. He was doomed—he had ruined the precious space the school had invested heavily in.

The kind that resets durability to zero...

No wonder the spirit-gathering array was so effective just now; the spirit crystals were incredibly powerful!

As for the price of spirit crystals, Qin Ming had heard a little about it. Because of their gentle and stable energy and their scarcity, the price has always remained high.

It is said that a novice beast tamer would need a year's savings to buy a spirit crystal the size of a fist.

The duck shed... was very large, and the floor was entirely paved with spirit crystals...

Numbness and the prospect of being too old to repay the loan seem to be looming before Qin Ming's eyes.

"Ahem, ignorance is no excuse. The school will cover the losses this time, but you must never do it again here."

The principal felt a pang of guilt when he thought about the cost of building the duck shed with spirit crystals, but he still changed the subject and interrupted Qin Ming's thoughts.

"The students will definitely take this as a warning and are deeply grateful for the school's kindness!" This is the best example of turning adversity into opportunity.

Watching Qin Ming walk towards the classroom, the principal, who had been holding back his smile all the way, could no longer contain it:

With such talented students, our school is truly magnificent!

With such talented descendants, how can our human race not prosper?

But human joys and sorrows are not shared, because the next lesson is on identifying mythical beasts!

Qin Ming completely lost face as a top student in this class!

Unfortunately, the teacher particularly liked to call on Qin Ming to answer questions, not out of malice, but probably out of regret for Qin Ming's uneven academic performance.

Sure enough, "Qin Ming, tell me, which of the following 20 photos taken today is Ke Yun?" The old teacher pushed up his glasses, concealing the expectation in his eyes.

Qin Ming stared wide-eyed, then tried his best, but still got nothing.

That's not quite right. Qin Ming noticed that the ducklings had grown even bigger since the last class. Sure enough, they were well-fed and treated well, changing every day.

Also, Keda shouldn't be in it, or the photo wasn't taken recently. Qin Ming has something to say about this.

While Qin Ming remained silent, a commotion suddenly broke out at the front of the classroom.

A black water duck, the only one Qin Ming could recognize, appeared in the classroom! This was rather bizarre!

Keda craned his neck, determined Qin Ming's location, and then approached him with unwavering determination and a swaying gait.

Every classmate who passed by gave Qin Ming a look of shock, envy, jealousy, and even madness.

Qin Ming refused to accept it and wondered how Keda had found this place.

Qin Ming was somewhat puzzled. Although the Xuan Shui Ducks were completely free to move around on campus, they usually did not leave the duck house because the spiritual energy environment outside was far inferior to that of the duck house.

Wait, spiritual energy? Qin Ming seemed to know what was going on, and silently felt a heartfelt apology for the guards whose workload had seemingly increased dramatically. Amen!

After standing at Qin Ming's feet, Keda obediently and willingly allowed Qin Ming to lift her onto the desk.

Although the scene was a bit novel and everyone was seeing it for the first time, even the teacher was stunned for a moment, the class still had to continue, and Qin Ming still couldn't regain the face he had lost.

Better a short, sharp pain than a long, drawn-out one. Qin Ming sighed inwardly, "I'm sorry, I..."

"Gah!"

Qin Ming's words were abruptly interrupted, but seeing Keda shaking his head with utmost seriousness, he exchanged a few glances with him.

Teacher, I have a bold idea!

Are you ready?

"Ke Yun, do you know which photo is Ke Yun?" Qin Ming whispered.

Keda nodded confidently, his bright little eyes suggesting he might be somewhat reliable.

"Gagaga!"

"A third one?" Qin Ming asked tentatively.

Keda shook his head. Qin Ming pondered for two seconds, "The third row?"

Keda nodded happily, then let out a "quack quack!"

"The second one in the third row?" Qin Ming immediately understood.
