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

In the living room, the fist-sized ball of silver liquid stopped wriggling.

Like a piece of liquid metal being molded by an invisible hand, it began to stretch and contract under the horrified gazes of Su Wan and Liu Hu, outlining a specific shape.

"Boss, is...is it coming out?" Liu Hu's Adam's apple bobbed, and he subconsciously took half a step back, blocking Su Wan's way.

Li Haotian didn't speak, his eyes fixed on the coffee table.

coming.

He created the first mythical creature in the real world.

The silver light slowly receded, and the outline of the liquid gradually became clear.

Four legs, one tail, and one head.

Finally, when all the light receded and froze completely, the living room fell into an eerie silence.

Su Wan and Liu Hu's expressions changed from tense and wary to bewildered, and finally turned into a face full of question marks.

Li Haotian was also stunned.

The monstrous queen I had imagined—grotesque, enormous, and capable of instilling endless oppression simply by standing there—did not appear.

On the expensive Persian rug on the coffee table, only a small animal, no bigger than the palm of your hand, was squatting...?

Its entire body was jet black, its fur as smooth as the finest silk, shimmering under the crystal chandelier. It possessed an elegant posture, long limbs, and a tail tip that gracefully circled in the air.

Except for those eyes.

Those were eyes that seemed completely unlike anything an earthly being should have. The pupils were two narrow, silver vertical lines, within which seemed to flow fragments of a galaxy—cold, arrogant, and devoid of any emotion.

It sat there quietly, tilting its head and surveying its surroundings like a king arriving in his territory.

"...Cat?" Liu Hu hesitated for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out two words.

This thing looks exactly like a purebred black cat of excellent quality.

Li Haotian's lips twitched.

He worked incredibly hard, creating blueprints, finding materials, and even enduring the collapse of space, only to finally produce a pet that costs 9.9 yuan with free shipping on Pinduoduo.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and brought up the system panel in his mind.

Mythical Unit: Voidwalker (Infant/Mimicry)

[Status: Reality anchoring completed with the Overlord's will]

[Morphological Description: To adapt to the current laws of the low-dimensional world and avoid the dimensional rejection reaction caused by the overflow of high-dimensional energy, the most suitable biological template for concealment and energy conservation has been automatically selected for mimicry.]

[WARNING: This current form is the lowest energy consumption mode and is not its true combat form. Do not judge a book by its cover; otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences.]

Li Haotian opened his eyes, looked at the instructions on the panel, and his expression became very complicated.

After all that, it turns out it was power-saving mode.

"The Empress?" He tentatively reached out his hand towards the "black cat".

"Meow?"

A call rang out, crisp yet tinged with a hint of languor.

But those silver vertical pupils merely glanced at him coldly, their eyes filled with the look of someone looking at an idiot.

It's as if it's saying: Foolish mortals.

Then, it gracefully raised one of its front paws, stuck out its tongue, and gently licked its own paw pad.

"Sizzle—"

A very faint voice rang out, yet it sent chills down Li Haotian's spine.

Five jet-black claws flashed past from its pink paw pads.

The claws sliced ​​through the air, leaving a thin, hair-like black crack.

Behind that crack lies a bottomless void.

Spatial rift.

It simply licked its paws and casually tore open the space.

Li Haotian silently withdrew his hand.

Fine, I can't afford to mess with them.

"Uh, well, he's just been born, are you hungry?" To ease the awkwardness, Li Haotian turned and walked towards the kitchen.

"Boss, are you really going to feed it?" Su Wan asked softly.

"What else can we do? We can't just let it go hungry. What if it gets hungry and eats the sofa?"

Li Haotian rummaged through the locker and pulled out a bag of cat food that Su Wan had bought for the stray cats in the neighborhood. It was supposedly some kind of imported high-end cat food. He poured it into a bowl and carefully pushed it in front of the "black cat".

"Here, have a taste, it's tuna flavored."

The black cat lowered its head and sniffed at the bowl of cat food.

Then, in a very human way, it showed a look of disgust.

Its black tail flicked gently behind it, like a supple whip.

"Snapped!"

The porcelain bowl containing cat food was flung out of the air, tracing an arc before landing precisely in a distant trash can.

Li Haotian's eye twitched.

Goodness, they're quite picky eaters.

Just then, the black cat seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly jumped off the coffee table, landing lightly on the ground without making a sound.

It walked with elegant cat-like steps, heading straight for a display cabinet in the corner of the living room.

Inside the cabinet was a fist-sized S-grade fire-elemental extraordinary crystal core, left over from a previous transaction.

"Hey, you can't eat that stuff!" Li Haotian shouted.

late.

With a kick of its hind legs, the black cat transformed into a black lightning bolt, passing directly through the thickened bulletproof glass cabinet door and appearing inside.

It opened its mouth and took a bite of the burning crystal core.

"Crack!"

The sound was as crisp as chewing rock candy.

Under the stunned gazes of Li Haotian, Su Wan, and Liu Hu, the palm-sized black cat devoured an S-class crystal core—enough to power a small warship—in just a few bites, treating it like a snack.

After finishing its meal, it licked its lips with a lingering satisfaction and let out a burp.

A barely visible spark emerged from its mouth.

Li Haotian's heart was bleeding.

One bite of that and the down payment for a small apartment in a first-tier city is gone!

I can't afford to raise them, absolutely not!

"Looks like you like this." Li Haotian forced a smile. "How does it taste?"

The black cat glanced at him but ignored him.

It leaped into the air, its figure disappearing abruptly in mid-air.

The next second, it appeared on top of the refrigerator, more than ten meters away.

[Flickering in the void].

It was used as a daily movement skill.

It lowered its head, its silver eyes seemingly able to see through the heavy door of the refrigerator.

It stretched out a paw and gently tapped the refrigerator door.

The refrigerator door remained completely still.

But a can of ice-cold cola seemed to be carried by an invisible hand, "seeping" out of the door and floating lightly to Li Haotian, landing on the sofa next to him.

"..." Li Haotian looked at the can of cola, then at the aloof black cat on top of the refrigerator, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Is this... feeding him?

Or is it just showing off skills?

"Fine, you're awesome." Li Haotian admitted defeat.

He looked at the black cat and began to ponder.

We can't keep calling it "Empress" or "Feeding," can we? We need a code name.

"Look at you, all black, just like a piece of charcoal..." Li Haotian stroked his chin and muttered to himself.

"From now on, I'll just call you 'Coal Ball'."

The voice just fell.

The black cat's fur on top of the refrigerator suddenly bristled up.

Its originally smooth fur stood on end, making it look a whole size larger.

A pair of silver, vertical pupils were fixed on Li Haotian, filled with icy killing intent.

The air around it began to crackle softly, and tiny spatial cracks, like black lightning, appeared and disappeared around it.

The temperature in the entire living room seemed to have dropped several degrees.

"Just kidding! I'm just kidding!" Li Haotian immediately raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"Coal lumps are so cute! You don't like them? Fine, fine, let's get another one!"

In a desperate attempt to survive, he changed his address: "Call me 'Little Black'! Little Black, is that alright? Low-key, unassuming, and with substance!"

The suffocating pressure slowly dissipated.

"Little Black's" fur became smooth again. It snorted coldly, seemingly reluctantly accepting the new name, and then lay down again, closing its eyes and pretending to sleep.

Li Haotian breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling as if he had just walked through the gates of hell.

This isn't just keeping a pet; it's like bringing home an ancestor.

Just then.

"Knock knock".

There was a knock on the living room door.

"Boss, am I coming in?" It was Su Wan's voice; she had just gone out to answer a phone call.

"Go in," Li Haotian shouted.

Su Wan pushed open the door and entered, holding a document in her hand, preparing to give a work report.

But her gaze was instantly drawn to the elegant black cat on top of the refrigerator.

"Wow!" Su Wan's eyes lit up instantly, and her face showed an expression overflowing with maternal love.

"Boss, what an adorable cat! When did you get it?"

Completely oblivious to the stiff expressions on Li Haotian and Liu Hu's faces, she walked straight toward the refrigerator.

"Little one, come here, let your big sister give you a hug."

She reached out to pet the "little black dog" that was resting with its eyes closed.

Li Haotian's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Don't touch it!" A terrified shout burst from his mouth.
