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

In the living room, Su Wan and Liu Hu's hearts were in their throats.

The deliveryman, known as Zero, was pointing a black device at Li Haotian.

Li Haotian's reaction was exaggerated, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He jumped back two steps and put his hands in front of his chest to protect himself.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"Biometric information? Can you just give that stuff away like that?"

"These days, people online are saying that facial recognition is insecure, and that scanning it will make your house belong to someone else!"

His voice was shrill and loud, filled with the ignorance and fear that ordinary citizens have towards high technology.

The deliveryman paused for a moment.

In his glass-bead-like eyes, it seemed as if data was flashing through them, as if he were analyzing the truthfulness of Li Haotian's words.

A few seconds later, he put away the equipment.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, it seems our service process caused you some misunderstanding."

"Since it's inconvenient for you, we won't bother you any longer."

After he finished speaking, he bowed slightly and turned to leave.

Li Haotian's performance is not over yet.

He rubbed his hands together, a shrewish yet embarrassed smile on his face, and leaned closer.

"Hey... buddy."

"Do you have any discount coupons for VIP customers like yourselves?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted the deliveryman's shoulder naturally, as if trying to get closer to him.

"Everyone has their struggles, so saving a little bit is always good, right?"

The moment his palm touched the other person's shoulder, Li Haotian had a sudden thought.

[System, locate the source of the reverse data stream.]

[Ding! Source identified...]

Pack our classic song, "Good Luck," into a data bomb.

[Use that worker bee as a channel to directly attack the opponent's central processing unit.]

[Ding! Command confirmed.]

[Low-level mental pollution module is being generated...]

[Audio file "Good Luck" has been loaded...]

[Data package is ready. Deploy now?]

"Distribute".

"Remember to put the song on repeat, don't stop."

All of this was accomplished in the blink of an eye.

Outside the door, the deliveryman froze for a moment.

Data streams flashed wildly in his cold eyes.

A strange data stream, attempting to analyze and replicate the power within his body, surged in the opposite direction through the connection of the microscopic worker bee.

This is the "doctor's" order.

Grade A talent, [Ability Replication], activated.

Almost simultaneously, an even larger, chaotic torrent of spirit, filled with savagery and murderous intent, accompanied by chillingly festive music, crashed back along the same path.

Shila-

A very faint yet sharp and piercing electric shock came from Zero's body.

His body shuddered violently, as if he had been struck by an invisible high-voltage electric shock.

Li Haotian seemed startled, withdrew his hand, and took two steps back.

"Oh well, never mind, you're so stingy."

He muttered something to himself, turned around, picked up the metal box, walked back to the villa, and made as if to close the door.

Zero did not move.

He stood there, and for the first time, a look of pain appeared on his handsome and perfect face.

His empty eyes flickered violently, and the data stream surged wildly like boiling water.

"puff."

A soft sound.

A streak of bright red blood slowly flowed from his nostril.

Under the stark white light, it looked particularly shocking.

He clutched his throbbing forehead, staggered back two steps, and looked at Li Haotian with eyes filled with terror and incomprehensible confusion.

Su Wan and Liu Hu, who were in the living room, were stunned when they saw this scene through the security camera.

What's going on?

Why did your nose start bleeding after just a few words?

Li Haotian was also stunned. He leaned against the door frame, poked half his head out, his face full of vigilance and confusion.

"Hey, are you alright?"

Zero didn't answer; he felt his biological core processor was about to burn out.

Countless streams of junk information and that catchy, addictive music are assaulting his core program.

He dropped the receipt board in his hand and ran away.

His movements were even somewhat clumsy, completely lacking the composure and coldness he had displayed upon arrival.

"Why!"

Seeing this, Li Haotian deliberately raised his voice and shouted loudly at the fleeing figure.

"Hey buddy! Are you trying to scam me?"

"You fake illness because you can't win an argument? And you even have a nosebleed? Your acting is way too over-the-top!"

"You'll have to pay for the damage you caused to my doorstep!"

"I have to give you a bad review! I'm calling to complain right now!"

His voice echoed through the quiet villa area, prompting several neighbors to turn on their lights.

Zero ran even faster, disappearing into the night in a few leaps.

"Bang."

As Li Haotian closed the gate, the expression of a frightened citizen on his face vanished instantly.

He casually tossed the heavy metal box onto the coffee table with a dull thud.

Su Wan and Liu Hu immediately surrounded them, their expressions more fascinating than if they had seen a ghost.

"Haotian...that person..." Su Wan pointed to the door, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Li Haotian picked up an apple from the coffee table, took a bite, and crunched it.

"Why...why did he have a nosebleed? And why did he run away?"

"How would I know?" Li Haotian shrugged, looking completely innocent.

"Perhaps the pressure to meet performance targets was too great, and it caused him to become anxious and stressed."

"Young people these days have such poor mental fortitude."

Su Wan looked somewhat helpless.

You'd be a fool to believe that.

The scene just now looked like Li Haotian used some unseen means.

Liu Hu spoke in a muffled voice: "That person is no ordinary person."

"Yes, I can see that." Li Haotian nodded in agreement.

"A regular deliveryman can't run that fast."

As he spoke, the system's notification sounded belatedly in his mind.

【Ding】

[System crash detected for "Experiment Zero"; some core data has overflowed.]

[We have intercepted part of the other party's capability data model and are currently performing reverse analysis...]

[Analysis progress 5% and 10%]

Li Haotian watched the progress bar jump around and felt pleased.

Not only did they get a top-grade fire element crystal core for free, they also managed to get some extra benefits.

This deal is a good one.

[Analysis progress 35%...58%...81%...]

The progress bar climbed much faster than Li Haotian had expected. It seemed that after the opponent's firewall was breached by "Good Luck," it was basically in a state of no defense.

[Analysis complete.]

[Data captured successfully!]

[Talent structure reorganization simulation in progress...]

Li Haotian held his breath.

He knew the crucial moment had arrived.

The system had previously indicated that there was only a 3.14% probability.

The probability is even lower than drawing cards in a game.

Whether it will succeed or not depends on this wave.

【Ding! 】

A crisp notification sound, like heavenly music.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully acquired an A-level talent—Ability Replication (Incomplete Version)!]

Became

Li Haotian was overjoyed, but then he saw the words "incomplete version" at the end.

He immediately opened the system panel to check.

[Ability Replica (Incomplete Version)]

[Level: A]

[Effect: Consumes the user's own energy to scan targets upon contact, with a certain probability of replicating the target's non-unique talent skills.]

Current success rate for replicating: 5%

[Note: Due to incomplete data models, each replication will cause irreversible genetic damage to users. Please use with caution.]

Li Haotian frowned as he looked at the line of scarlet notes.

The success rate is only 5%, and there are also side effects.

This thing is a one-time use nuclear weapon; using it will cause you to lose health.

"But... it's better than nothing."

Li Haotian turned off the panel. It was better to have something than nothing; it might come in handy at a crucial moment.

He looked at the metal box on the coffee table, inside which the fire-elemental crystal core was radiating scorching heat.

"Now we have enough fertilizer for the flowers."

He picked up the box, ready to go back to his room and enter the game to "add extra food" for the Queen.

Su Wan looked at him and couldn't help but ask, "What did you do to him just now?"

Li Haotian stopped, turned around, winked at her, and smiled enigmatically.

"Trade secrets".

"All you need to know is that this generation of assassins is no good; they've all started trying to scam people."
