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

Li Haotian's news about opening a betting market was like a drop of cold water falling into a pot of boiling oil.

The people on the Kyushu team turned green with rage.

Especially the archer Hawkeye, who was pressed firmly to the ground by gravity, his cheek pressed against the cold metal floor, could only barely turn his head to the side, staring at Li Haotian with an expression as if he were looking at a lunatic.

"What kind of time is this? You still have the nerve to open a trading session at this hour!"

"Be professional, will you?" Li Haotian didn't even look up, still lying there like a lazy sea turtle. "Look, that guy hanging on the wall, his breathing is getting weaker and weaker, if he doesn't place a bet soon, the betting will close."

Just then, the towering Titan prototype moved.

Its crimson scanning beam slowly moved away from the unfortunate man on the wall and re-locked onto the most threatening target in the arena—the Kyushu Squad.

"Buzz—"

Titan's massive arm, made entirely of metal, suddenly rose and swept across with a speed completely disproportionate to its size.

The arm sliced ​​through the air, creating a sharp whistling sound.

That wasn't an attack; it was more like shooing away flies.

"Rock solid!" Indra roared.

"roar!"

Rock, the shield warrior kneeling on one knee, let out a beast-like roar. He poured all his remaining strength into the massive tower shield, causing its earthen-yellow surface to blaze with light, forcefully pushing it against the wall.

"clang--!"

A deafening roar, loud enough to shatter eardrums, echoed through the hall.

The tower shield of the rock, the top-tier equipment that was said to be able to withstand the forbidden spells of an A-level BOSS, first showed spiderweb-like cracks the moment it came into contact with the Titan's giant arm.

Then, with a "crack," it shattered completely.

-108745!

But for them, "Nine Provinces," this thing is even more valuable than that mythical [Void-108745]!

A terrifying damage number appeared from the top of the rock.

He flew backward like a tattered sack, knocking over several aliens that were immobilized by gravity along the way, before finally crashing heavily against a distant wall and sliding down, his fate unknown.

"Rock solid!" Eagle's eyes widened in fury.

It’s over.

The team's tank went down.

How can we fight like this?

The Titan prototype, having achieved its goal, seemed unsatisfied. It slowly raised its massive foot, comparable in size to a building, and aimed it at the unprotected members of the Kyushu team.

The enormous shadow, like the scythe of death, descended.

"Captain!" For the first time, despair filled the voice of the mage diviner.

Indra stared intently at the slowly descending giant foot. The golden flames around him were burning wildly, clearly indicating that he had pushed his abilities to the limit, but it was still a drop in the ocean against such absolute power.

His gaze suddenly shifted to the man who had been lying on the ground the whole time, as if watching a show.

"Alien!"

Indra's voice sounded as if it were being squeezed out from between his teeth.

"You have a way, don't you!"

Li Haotian finally managed to lift his head. He looked at Di Shitian, then at the giant foot that was about to crush the Kyushu team into mincemeat, and slowly yawned.

"Boss, what are you saying?"

There are always more solutions than problems.

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached the ears of everyone in the Kyushu squad clearly.

Eagle Eye and Divine Calculator, as if grasping at the last straw, had a glimmer of hope rekindled in their eyes.

Indra gritted his teeth. "Then what are you waiting for!"

"Wait?" Li Haotian asked matter-of-factly. "Wait for the boss to give the order."

He held up a finger and pointed to the corpses of several raiders at his feet, killed by Titan's basic attack.

"Look at my precious children, how tragically they died."

"I spent a lot of money and used a lot of rare materials to hatch these."

"Training an alien is very expensive. Especially for elite units like this, the cost skyrockets."

His tone was filled with heartache and indignation, as if he had lost hundreds of millions.

"Right now, I've suffered heavy losses trying to help you. I need compensation for emotional distress, lost wages, depreciation from my employer... all of these need to be paid out."

Eagle Eye's eyes twitched as he listened.

What the hell is this depreciation fee?!

Do your summoned creatures even depreciate?

The face beneath Indra's helmet was probably as black as the bottom of a pot. He suppressed his anger and asked, word by word.

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Li Haotian grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

"You'll have to pay more."

"What?" Hawkeye thought he had misheard.

"I said, this job is too risky. My personal safety and property are seriously threatened," Li Haotian said confidently. "The original contract didn't say that the BOSS was this fierce."

"This is a change to the contract due to force majeure, and according to market rules, additional payment is required."

"You..." Hawkeye was so angry he almost spat out blood.

This is a matter of life and death! This bastard is actually trying to raise prices here!

"What do you want!" Indra was quite calm, or rather, he was so angry that he had no temper left.

The giant foot was less than twenty meters from their heads.

"Great!" Li Haotian snapped his fingers.

"First, that [Heart of the Void] must be mine. You can take whatever else the BOSS drops; I don't want a single thing."

"Yes!" Indra agreed without hesitation.

"Secondly..." Li Haotian stroked his chin, seemingly deep in thought.

"Don't go too far!" Hawkeye roared.

"Shut up." Li Haotian glanced at him. "You're distracting me from thinking. What if we can't come up with a solution and we all end up as mincemeat? That wouldn't be good."

Hawkeye immediately shut up.

Li Haotian slowly extended his second finger.

"Secondly, you can include my ID in your first clear record. However, as technical support, I request all data from this instance, including the complete structural diagrams and combat data of this Titan prototype."

Indra was taken aback.

He didn't expect Li Haotian to make this request.

Materials, equipment, and survival spots are all things that players seek.

But data is worthless to the average player.

But for the "Nine Provinces," this thing is even more valuable than the mythical [Heart of the Void].

He looked at Li Haotian, as if trying to read something from his face.

But Li Haotian's face only showed a shameless "take it or leave it" expression.

"Deal!" Indra practically roared.

The giant foot, carrying devastating wind pressure, slammed down.

"The boss is so generous!"

Li Haotian's expression changed instantly, and he sprang up from the ground.

That terrifying gravitational field seemed to have no effect on him anymore.

"Why didn't you say that earlier? Why make things so tense?" He said, stretching his arms and legs as he gave instructions.

"Stop standing there, get to work!"

"Empress, coordinates locked on the BOSS's nape vent, prepare for space jump!"

"Hellfire, unleash it!"

The war machine [Alien Hellfire], which had been lying on the ground pretending to be dead, suddenly stood up upon receiving the order.

Ignoring the giant foot falling from above, its massive body strode forward, its target the Titan prototype.

"You guys, hold it off for three seconds, just three seconds!" Li Haotian shouted at the Kyushu team.

Without a word, Indra pointed his longsword, and a golden chain of light appeared out of thin air, wrapping around Titan's falling ankle, attempting to slow it down even by the slightest bit.

The diviner also began chanting incantations, and ice walls rose from the ground one after another.

The Titan prototype seemed to sense the threat of the Hellfire. Instead of crushing the Kyushu team, it suddenly spun its giant foot and kicked at the oncoming Hellfire.

"Now!"

A glint of light flashed in Li Haotian's eyes.

The alien queen, far away in her nest on a desolate planet, had her silver compound eyes that were in sync with his gaze.

The power of space was pushed to its limit.

"Buzz—"

As the hellfire charged forward, the space around its massive body began to distort.

The next second, it vanished into thin air.

When it reappeared, it was already at the nape of the Titan prototype, above the huge vent that was spewing out hot steam.

"It's done!" Hawkeye couldn't help but shout.

"Boss, take a good look." Li Haotian grinned. "This is called high-end precision demolition."

Through his hive mind, he gave the final command to Hellfire.

[Skill: Overload Self-Destruct.]

The bio-cannon barrel on Hellfire's back no longer glowed with the red light of condensed plasma energy, but instead emitted an extremely dazzling white light.

A destructive energy was brewing wildly within it.

Li Haotian cleared his throat and opened the public chat.

A line of gold text went viral again.

[Alien]: "Art is Patrick Star!"

boom--!

A massive mushroom cloud, filled with flesh, blood, and metal fragments, slowly rose from this underground ruin that had been silent for a thousand years.
