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

Before parting, Qin Ming fed the snake its fill.

He had long realized that snakes were also greedy, or perhaps Little Fatty's breeding skills were even higher than he had imagined, and the allure to all animals had begun to transcend species.

Qin Ming was not stingy with feeding.

He took out all the leftovers from yesterday from the Space Stone, and added a few extra portions of spirit fish jerky that Little Fatty usually hoarded as snacks.

The snake initially maintained some reserve, after all, it had just signed a contract and needed to maintain some dignity in front of its new master.

But once the first piece of dried fish entered his mouth, that restraint shattered silently, like thin ice on a river in spring.

The snake's body swelled up segment by segment, from the neck to the abdomen, each digestive cavity was filled full and evenly with food.

When it swallowed the last piece of dried fish, its movements slowed down noticeably; it really couldn't fit any more in.

Qin Ming squatted down beside it, looking at the snake that had become plump again, and nodded with satisfaction.

It's good to be well-fed, because if you're well-fed, you won't cause trouble for your neighbors.

Snakes are naturally inclined to remain still for a long time after a full meal, as their digestive system operates at full capacity and their desire to attack decreases significantly.

Let alone a brown bear, it wouldn't even bother to flick its tongue if a field mouse swaggered right past it.

This biological law reassured Qin Ming more than any urgent science popularization animal protection law.

Afterwards, Qin Ming summoned back all the beasts. Little Fatty used a spatial fluctuation to engulf him, and within a few breaths, he traversed a distance of tens of kilometers, landing steadily back in his own living room.

Once the world before me had stabilized again, the sky outside the window was already bright, and the sounds of residents getting up and washing up could be heard from upstairs and downstairs. The corridor was occasionally filled with the hurried footsteps of office workers and the metallic clanging of students' backpack zippers.

The building was waking up, and Qin Ming, who had just finished a night shift, was full of energy and showed no intention of catching up on sleep.

He first sent a message to Officer Mu next door, briefly reporting that he was safe.

After completing his roll call, Qin Ming turned on his computer, searched for and placed an order for snake and reptile pet supplies.

Temperature-controlled enclosure, temperature and humidity monitor, hiding places, thickened insulation mat, reptile-specific UVB lamp...

He filled his shopping cart with a whole row of items, ranging from basic animal husbandry equipment to advanced environmental simulators.

The pact with the snake was progressing too smoothly, so smoothly that he himself was not prepared.

The planning is famous, the planning is famous, Qin Ming suddenly looked around his house.

The house is spacious enough for one person, but it's a bit cramped when arranged according to his original plan to give each spirit beast its own private space.

Keda needs an open space with a perch, Cangxuan is used to resting in a quiet environment, Xiaopang's aquarium area takes up half of the balcony and still isn't enough, Heidong likes to rest in a suspended position and needs enough space in the upper part of the room, and now there's a large snake, the enclosure alone takes up a lot of space, not counting the activity area.

His house seems a bit small, but renovation is out of the question.

The current building's wall structure, with load-bearing walls and shear walls tightly enclosing the layout, makes it impossible to open up, let alone break through; even opening a new doorway would alarm the property management company.

Qin Ming turned his attention to real estate brokerage platforms and began browsing large apartments and suburban villas in the same city.

While looking at the dazzling array of properties and getting overwhelmed with choices, he casually checked the transaction history and immediately fell silent.

Qin Ming quietly lowered the selection criteria from "detached villa" to "townhouse", and then to "large single-level apartment".

His finances weren't exactly healthy either. At least not when faced with such a large expense.

On the contrary, the Lingwu Continent is experiencing a considerable economic surplus due to Xiaopang's ever-growing food industry chain.

Is he the one who lives off a woman?

Little Fatty, who seemed lazy and spent his days sleeping and eating snacks, quietly took on the heavy responsibility of the family.

Qin Ming incredulously calculated his sources of income: the annual licensing fee for the patents derived from the skills he could access, the allowance for the special consultant to the criminal police team, and the expert service fee for occasional help. The three items together looked alright, but after deducting the living expenses of the spirit beasts, the remaining number became less appealing.

After calculating, Qin Ming found that every single expense matched up, and he fell silent.

In that instant, he even empathized with zoos. Those zoo directors who constantly complain online about being poor and unable to afford to keep their animals might not be complaining about being poor; their living costs are genuinely too high.

Fortunately, his family has their own family doctor, whose treatment capabilities cover all medical needs, including his, so he doesn't get minor illnesses that cost thousands or tens of thousands of yuan every now and then.

In short, Qin Ming, who had always thought his financial situation was very comfortable, finally felt a sense of urgency at this moment.

He needs to pull himself together!

He pondered carefully how to make money, hoping to showcase his skills and surpass Little Fatty in income, thus saving face and dignity for the head of the family!

The next second, the algorithm might automatically push a news item based on recent search information.

Did you know? The venom of the Mangshan pit viper is worth as much as gold on the dark market; a single gram can fetch this much!

Qin Ming's gaze was fixed on the screen.

He clicked on the push notification, then jumped from popular science articles to academic papers, from academic papers to the public financial reports of biopharmaceutical companies, and from the financial reports to the homepage of snake venom research institutions. The more he looked, the more he felt that a new door was slowly opening in front of him.

The venom of rare poisonous snakes is often called "liquid gold," and this saying is absolutely true for the Mangshan pit viper.

Its venom has extremely high scientific research value in many cutting-edge research fields such as anticoagulation, analgesia, and antihypertensive.

Because wild populations are extremely rare and artificial breeding is very difficult, legal venom supply channels are in a state of severe shortage for many years.

Several reputable research institutions regularly post their snake venom procurement needs on their official websites, and the prices listed are enough to make any cash-strapped person's heart race.

He possessed a newly awakened, incredibly robust and powerful Mangshan iron head.

Theoretically, its venom composition should be more unique and precious than that of an ordinary individual!

Unlike other mythical beasts whose abilities are not easily revealed, the venom of venomous snakes is extremely complex, containing many active ingredients that have not yet been fully analyzed by modern medicine.

In addition, snake venom itself has many variant subtypes due to differences in living environment and individual species. Research institutions are not surprised by such special samples, but rather eager to find them.

This is a golden opportunity!

Qin Ming carefully reviewed the relevant information and then dialed the number listed on the research institute's official website.

The more you learn, the more feasible it becomes.

Qin Ming hung up the phone, leaned back in his chair, and unconsciously tapped his fingers twice on the table.

He seems to have found a lucrative path to wealth.

……

In the distant jungle.

An incredibly robust snake, which would amaze snake experts who see it in person and break several size records, is coiled up in its lair, carefully selecting what it will take with it.

It carefully arranged all the furry, attractive little things with the tip of its tail, its movements serious and solemn.

Then it suddenly stopped moving, as if it had a premonition of something, and looked around warily.

There was no danger, nor should there be, but the snake felt a chill run down its spine.

It tilted its head, its vertical pupils contracting in confusion, unable to understand.
