The whole nation: You're put to survive on a desolate planet, you'll be running an alien b

"Li Haotian! Open the door! I know you're in there! If you don't pay me back, believe me, I'll cripple your other hand too!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The violent banging on the door struck Li Haotian's head like a heavy hammer.

In the cramped and dark rented room, Li Haotian suddenly woke up from his bed, his back soaked with cold sweat.

He instinctively tried to clench his fist, but found that his right index and middle fingers spasmed uncontrollably.

Where is this...?

Didn't I jump off the rooftop?

The next second, countless fragments of memory flooded into my mind like a tidal wave.

In a parallel world, on Earth, he was also called Li Haotian. He was once the "Gun God" in the FPS e-sports circle, but at the peak of his career, he was framed by his girlfriend and the club owner for cheating and match-fixing.

In order to prove his innocence, the original owner signed a betting agreement worth 20 million, but was drugged in the water, lost the competition, and had his right hand nerves "accidentally" broken in the subsequent conflict.

Disgraced and burdened with debt, the original owner swallowed an entire bottle of sleeping pills last night.

"Damn it!" Li Haotian cursed under his breath, his eyes instantly turning sharp.

Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it. Since God has given me a second chance at life, I'll make those two scoundrels pay back a thousandfold what they owe me!

"Buzz—"

The phone beside my pillow vibrated incessantly, the screen displaying the words "Su Wan".

Li Haotian answered the phone, but before he could speak, an anxious female voice came from the other end:

"Li Haotian! Don't do anything foolish! Those debt collectors are at your house! Quickly hide in the game pod! That 'God Game' is having its open beta today. As long as you enter the game, real-world laws and debts won't be able to affect you for the time being!"

"Su Wan..." Li Haotian merged his memories and knew that she was the only former team leader who was still willing to help him.

"Listen! This game is globally mandatory, and it's supposedly related to human evolution. I've already secured the inheritance rights to a beta test account for you. It's just a regular account, but as long as you earn 'credits' in the game, you can exchange them for real-world currency to pay off your debts!"

Su Wan spoke rapidly, clearly frantic, "Don't give up! Your hand may be useless, but you're still conscious. You can survive even as a casual player!"

Casual player?

Li Haotian glanced at his trembling right hand and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

A former sharpshooter turned lumberjack in a game?!

"Bang!"

The moment the door was kicked open, Li Haotian rolled over and into the egg-shaped gaming pod that occupied most of the room, and pressed the start button hard.

"Buzz—"

Consciousness sinks, and the world is plunged into darkness.

[Welcome player Li Haotian to the Main God Space.] [Player's physical disability detected, neural connection in progress...] [Correction complete, pain sensation residual 10%, currently extracting initial talent...]

A giant roulette wheel spun in the darkness.

[Congratulations player, you have obtained the S-rank talent: Swarm Affinity.]

Li Haotian frowned slightly. S-rank? Sounds good, but what the heck is "swarm affinity"?

He clicked on the skill description.

Talent: Swarm Affinity (S-rank) Effect: You can summon a regular beetle to scout for you. The beetle has no attack power and cannot evolve.

"This is an S-class?" Li Haotian almost laughed in anger. "Isn't this just a high-end searchlight?"

In this perilous post-apocalyptic game, reconnaissance is important, but without combat skills, encountering monsters means certain death. Moreover, his hands are crippled, making his controls ineffective; this talent is practically a useless asset.

Just as Li Haotian was about to curse, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in his ear.

[Alert! Alert!]

[Abnormal soul fluctuations detected! Player's soul and body are incompatible!]

[Unauthorized intrusion detected! Executing the erasure procedure...]

A bright red light shone forth, and the entire God Realm began to collapse.

"Are you kidding me? Died right after transmigrating?" Li Haotian gritted his teeth, staring intently at the void before him. "I'm tough as nails, nobody's going to take me!"

[Error...Elimination failed.]

[Unknown interference detected, re-evaluating player identity...] [Evaluation complete: Special Returnee.]

As compensation for the system's misjudgment, the player's original data will be cleared. Please choose one of the following two options as compensation:

Option 1: Retain the original talent and randomly obtain a second S-rank talent. Option 2: Mutate and upgrade the original talent (extremely high risk).

Li Haotian's heart pounded as he looked at the two options before him.

The double S talent is tempting, but the "Swarm Affinity" talent is really useless. If the second talent he gets randomly is also a support type, then he will really become a useless person.

Fortune favors the bold!

Since we've been given a second chance at life, let's go all out!

"I choose option two! Upgrade my talent!" Li Haotian pressed the button without hesitation.

[Player selects upgrade talent... Gene recombination in progress...]

[Congratulations player! Talent mutation successful!] [Obtained SSS-level unique talent: Alien Overlord!]

Talent: Alien Overlord (SSS Rank) Effect: You possess the ability to create and manipulate "Aliens". Currently, you can summon one initial "Alien Guardian" (complete form).

Feature 1: Absolute Loyalty. The alien will unconditionally obey commands and share your field of vision.

Feature 2: Killing Evolution. Xenomorphs can evolve by devouring flesh and blood, and have a chance to steal the genetic traits of their prey.

Feature 3: Legion Arrival. For each level gained, you will receive an additional number of alien summon slots equal to the current level.

Looking at the menacing black silhouette on the skill panel, Li Haotian's breathing became rapid.

Alien!

That killing machine, described as a "perfect organic life form" in science fiction movies!

This isn't an insect; it's death itself!

[Compensation complete. Please select your initial landing area (Hell difficulty):] [1. Radiation Wasteland] [2. Arctic Icefield] [3. Primitive Wasteland]

"Primitive Wilderness Star." Li Haotian selected instantly.

The aliens need flesh and blood, they need to be hunted. The desolate planet has the most wild animals; it's a natural hunting ground!

[Confirm selection. Transiting to the 10th new server—Primitive Wasteland.]

A flash of white light.

When Li Haotian opened his eyes again, he found himself in a humid and sweltering primeval forest.

Before he could even assess his surroundings, the bushes in front of him suddenly shook violently, and a mutated wolf with three eyes and the size of a calf pounced out!

Foul-smelling saliva dripped onto Li Haotian's face, and the sharp fangs were less than ten centimeters away from his throat.

"roar!"

The mutated wolf let out an excited howl, seemingly cheering for the lunch that had been delivered to its doorstep.

Li Haotian stood still, motionless, a cruel smile even curving his lips.

"Come out, my little baby."

"laugh--!"

A black afterimage shot out from the shadows behind Li Haotian like lightning!
