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

Li Haotian's roar was filled with unprecedented terror.

Su Wan's outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

She was stunned.

In her memory, the boss was always a lazy guy who would just throw the sky away as a blanket. When had he ever lost his composure like this?

On top of the refrigerator, the black cat named "Xiao Hei" lazily opened its silver vertical pupils.

It didn't even look at Su Wan.

It simply waved its paw lightly, seemingly impatiently.

The movement was as graceful as shooing away a fly.

"Whoosh!"

Su Wan felt a lightness in her hand.

She looked down and her pupils instantly shrank to pinpoints.

The folder in her hand, which was a newly printed report on the liquidation of assets of the "Purgatory" organization, was neatly broken in the middle.

The cut was as smooth as a mirror, so smooth that it even reflected her own deathly pale face under the light.

If she had stretched forward just one centimeter more...

A bead of cold sweat slid down Su Wan's forehead.

"I...I..." Her lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a single word.

"I told you, don't touch it." Li Haotian breathed a sigh of relief, walked over and pulled the terrified Su Wan behind him.

He looked at the little black dog on top of the refrigerator, who had closed its eyes again and was pretending to sleep, and felt a headache coming on.

This isn't just keeping a pet; it's like inviting back a living Buddha, the kind with nuclear weapons at that.

"Boss, what... what is this thing?" Liu Hu also came over, looking at the palm-sized little thing with lingering fear in his eyes.

He just witnessed this "cat" eating an S-grade crystal core like a cookie.

"Ahem." Li Haotian cleared his throat and decided to give the two employees an emergency safety training session.

He dropped his nonchalant expression and began seriously, "Let me introduce you to our company's latest addition: a bio-security beast, codenamed 'Little Black'."

"A bio-security beast?" Su Wan and Liu Hu looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Yes." Li Haotian lied without batting an eye, "High-tech, understand? It has a bad temper and is bound to a master. No one but me can touch it, or they'll be in trouble, understand?"

The two nodded frantically, like chicks pecking at rice.

"Also," Li Haotian pointed to the kitchen, "don't feed it sausages or cat food, it won't eat those."

Liu Hu asked curiously, "So what does it eat?"

Li Haotian glanced at the empty display cabinet in the corner of the living room, and his lips twitched with heartache.

"It eats metals, it eats energy crystal cores—basically, it eats high-end things. Just pretend it doesn't exist, pretend you can't see it, okay?"

The money he spends on this thing in just one day is enough to buy him a house in Donghai City.

This isn't a pet, it's a mobile money shredder.

Looking at the elegant black cat, Liu Hu was still somewhat skeptical.

It's just a cat with a bit of a temper, right? How evil could it be?

He remembered his old trick of teasing dogs back in his hometown, and with a quick thought, he pulled a keychain out of his pocket.

There was a small laser pointer attached to the keychain.

"Boss, look, there's no reason why a cat wouldn't like this." Liu Hu lowered his voice and quietly pressed the switch.

A red spot of light struck precisely the floor in front of Xiao Hei.

Liu Hu shook his wrist, and the red dot started to bounce on the floor.

"Look, look, it moved!" Liu Hu exclaimed excitedly in a low voice.

Xiao Hei did move.

It raised its eyelids and glanced disdainfully at the red dot bouncing around on the ground.

That look was like he was looking at someone with an intellectual disability.

Then, it yawned.

next second.

The smile on Liu Hu's face froze.

He discovered that no matter how much he shook the laser pointer in his hand, the red dot on the floor disappeared.

"Huh? Is it broken?" He tapped the laser pointer in confusion.

"Brother Tiger..." Su Wan's voice trembled as she pointed to his forehead.

Liu Hu instinctively touched it.

There was nothing there.

"You...you don't move." Su Wan took out her phone, turned on selfie mode, and handed it to him.

Liu Hu leaned over to take a look.

Right in the center of his forehead, a bright red dot of light was firmly fixed there, motionless.

The laser pointer in his hand was waving around like someone with Parkinson's disease, but the red dot on his forehead looked like it was glued on with superglue, it didn't budge an inch.

"My goodness!" Liu Hu exclaimed, startled, and threw the laser pointer in his hand away.

"A ghost! There's a ghost!"

The keychain fell to the ground, and the red light went out.

The spot of light on Liu Hu's forehead also disappeared.

On top of the refrigerator, Little Black licked its paws disdainfully, changed its position, and continued sleeping as if nothing had happened.

Liu Hu plopped down on the ground, panting heavily, his eyes filled with awe as he looked at the black cat.

"This...this cat is sentient!"

Li Haotian rubbed his forehead.

"I told you not to court death."

This isn't just a spirit, it's a deity descended to earth, the kind that governs the laws of physics.

Just then, the little black dog lying on top of the refrigerator twitched its tail tip.

It opened its eyes, its silver vertical pupils gazing towards the back garden of the villa, as if it had sensed something.

Li Haotian followed its gaze.

"Oh, there's been a rat problem in the garden lately, and the property management is preparing to put out poison," he said casually.

Little Black lazily stood up and walked gracefully to the balcony railing.

It looked down at the garden from its high vantage point, its black tail swaying gently behind it.

Like a conductor, waving his baton.

next second.

Several plump mice, who were sneakily gnawing on plant roots in the garden grass, suddenly felt the air around them distort.

They vanished into thin air before they could even utter a scream.

Throughout the entire process, not a single speck of dust was raised.

"Where... is the mouse?" Liu Hu rubbed his eyes.

Li Haotian remained silent.

He closed his eyes, and his consciousness instantly connected through the [Hive Mind] to a microscopic worker bee he had placed in the sewers several kilometers away, which he had previously used to tease the Dragon Shield.

From the worker bee's perspective, it was facing a giant, dark, foul-smelling garbage bin at a city waste transfer station.

"Thump."

"Thump."

"Thump."

Three bewildered mice fell from mid-air and landed precisely in the center of the trash can, where they were submerged in piles of kitchen waste.

Li Haotian opened his eyes, his expression turning strange.

Precise delivery and harmless disposal.

Their professional skills are even better than those of the Municipal Sanitation Bureau.

On the balcony, after finishing all this, Xiao Hei simply stretched and then, in a flash, returned to the sofa in the living room, found the softest cushion, and lay down.

Hidden strength and name.

Li Haotian looked at it, and the system panel in his mind was constantly refreshing with new information.

[The target, "Little Black," is currently scanning the real world...]

[Material Structure Analysis: Reinforced Concrete, Analysis Progress 17%...]

[Biological Structure Analysis: Humans (Carbon-based Life/Lower Forms), Analysis Progress 99%...]

[Energy Form Analysis: Electrical Energy (Inefficient Energy Source), Analysis Progress 34%...]

This little thing isn't resting at all.

It's like a walking supercomputer, constantly analyzing everything in this world, packaging all the data, and continuously feeding it back to Li Haotian, the "master".

This is the true purpose of the Empress.

A god-level "cheat" in the real world.

Just as Li Haotian was preparing to study this new data...

"Ding-dong—"

The doorbell rang at the villa.

Su Wan glanced at the video intercom and her expression changed.

"Boss, it's Qin Yue, Captain Qin!"

Li Haotian was taken aback and also leaned over to take a look.

On the screen, Qin Yue, dressed in a smart casual outfit, is standing at the entrance of the villa, carrying a fruit basket in her hand.

"What's she here for? To check the water meter?" Li Haotian frowned.

"She said... she came to check on the usage of that 'quantum preservation bucket' and to see if you have any new leads to provide," Su Wan said softly.

Li Haotian felt extremely overwhelmed.

If you don't come early, you won't come late, but you come at this time.

He glanced at the little black cat on the sofa, who was resting its chin on its front paws and staring curiously at the monitor screen with its silver vertical pupils.

If Captain Qin were to get a beating from this ancestor...

The Dragon Shield will have to present him with a banner tomorrow, accusing him of "assisting the leadership team in an early reshuffle."

"Let her in." Li Haotian took a deep breath. "Liu Hu, tidy up that pile of potato chip bags. Su Wan, make some tea."

"Then... what should we do with it?" Su Wan pointed to the little black dog on the sofa.

"It's nothing." Li Hao-tian waved his hand, feigning composure. "Just say it's my new pet."

The door opened.

Qin Yue walked in carrying a fruit basket, a professional smile on her face.

"Mr. Li, I apologize for disturbing you."

As she spoke, she habitually glanced around the living room.

Then, her gaze was instantly drawn to the elegant and uniquely charming black cat on the sofa.

As a seasoned cat lover, Qin Yue has owned Ragdolls and British Shorthairs, but she has never seen a black cat with such perfect features.

Especially those eyes, which seemed to hold an entire starry sky.

"Wow."

Qin Yue's professional smile melted instantly, replaced by a bright, delighted look in her eyes.

"What a beautiful cat! Mr. Li, when did you get it?"

She put down the fruit basket and walked straight to the sofa.

Li Haotian's heart jumped into his throat.

Hey lady, don't come any closer!
