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

Early the next morning, the broken mahogany gate of Villa No. 1 in Jinghaiting was dismantled by a team of men in blue overalls. The roar of the electric drills was deafening.

Li Haotian, shirtless and with a toothpick dangling from his mouth, leaned against the second-floor railing, looking down. "I said, if you're going to change a door, can't you at least make a little less noise? Don't you know you're disturbing the neighbors?"

Downstairs, Chen Dong stood ramrod straight, a barely perceptible bead of sweat on his forehead. He looked up at Li Haotian, his posture even more respectful than yesterday. "Mr. Li Dazhu, I'm very sorry, but we will try our best to finish before lunchtime, and we guarantee that we will use the highest-grade explosion-proof materials."

Li Haotian straightened up from the railing and yawned. "Don't call me 'sir,' call me Brother Dazhu, or just call me Dazhu."

He strolled downstairs and circled the brand-new titanium alloy door frame. "Why make it so sturdy? It'll be a pain for others to kick."

Chen Dong's lips twitched. He took a document out of his briefcase and handed it over with both hands. "Brother Dazhu, I'm here today to ask for your help with a small matter."

Li Haotian didn't even answer the call. He went straight to the kitchen, grabbed a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, unscrewed it, and took a big gulp. "I'm not going. I'm busy. Don't bother me. I just moved, and I need to help my sister get familiar with the place. I also need to figure out how to convert this swimming pool into a fishpond."

Chen Dong's expression stiffened for a moment, clearly not expecting the rejection to come so quickly. He took a deep breath, as if he had prepared a contingency plan. "It's about Donghai University."

"What does university have to do with me? I'm not a student." Li Haotian leaned against the bar, looking impatient.

"We've detected very weak and unstable energy anomalies within the area of ​​Tunghai University," Chen Dong said clearly and deliberately. "Our initial assessment is that it might be the nascent form of a new mirror rift. Dragon Shield would like to request that you, as a 'campus security personnel,' investigate the site, given your expertise in this area."

Li Haotian scoffed. "Expert? I'm just a hoe-wielder, what kind of expert am I? Is Dragon Shield short of people? Sending a garbage collector would be more professional than me."

Chen Dong gave a wry smile. "It's not that we don't want to send people, but this nascent crack is extremely sensitive. Any conventional energy detection equipment that gets close could stimulate it to take shape faster. Only someone like you, who can perfectly conceal their aura and blend into the environment, can complete the survey without disturbing it."

It sounded like flattery, but Li Haotian knew he was telling the truth. The golden seed within him could remain as still as a stone if he so desired.

"No, I said I'm busy." Li Haotian waved his hand, preparing to go upstairs for a nap. "I have to cook for my sister; she's been eating a lot lately and gets hungry quickly."

Lin Mo, engrossed in watching his tablet on the sofa, replied without looking up, "Hungry."

Chen Dong seemed to have been waiting for these words. He immediately took out another brochure from his briefcase. "Brother Dazhu, you may not know this, but Donghai University's No. 3 canteen is known as the 'culinary mecca' of Donghai City."

He opened the brochure, which was filled with photos of a dazzling array of dishes, all glistening with oil.

"It's a buffet style, lunch is only 28.8 yuan, and dinner is 38.8 yuan. There are more than 300 kinds of dishes, from Chinese eight major dishes to Japanese and Korean cuisine and Western steaks, with the menu changing every week. The most important thing is..." Chen Dong swallowed and emphasized, "Unlimited, eat as much as you want."

Li Haotian stopped halfway through his journey.

He slowly turned around, staring at the brochure, a glint of interest in his eyes. "...Grilled lamb chops too?"

"Freshly baked, prepared by a Mongolian chef."

"What about seafood?"

"We ship directly from the dock every day, offering everything from steamed and garlic-flavored dishes to sashimi."

"What about Häagen-Dazs?"

"Eight flavors, dig as much as you like."

Li Haotian fell silent. He walked up to Chen Dong, snatched the brochure, and examined it carefully again. Finally, he pointed to an inconspicuous corner. "This... pork trotter rice, is that all-you-can-eat?"

Chen Dong nodded solemnly. "Enough to fill you up."

"Deal!" Li Haotian slammed the brochure on the bar counter, his face serious. "But I have one condition: my sister has to come with me. I have to watch her eat, otherwise she won't know when she's hungry."

"No problem!" Chen Dong replied immediately, as if he had been waiting for this. "We have already arranged for Ms. Lin Mo to be an auditor in the History Department of Tunghai University. The classroom is right next to the campus security office, which is very convenient."

Li Haotian nodded in satisfaction. "Your Dragon Shield team is quite efficient."

……

In the afternoon, at the entrance of Tunghai University.

Li Haotian was wearing a blue security guard uniform that was a size too big, hanging loosely on his body. He moved a small stool and sat under the shade of a tree at the school gate, wearing sunglasses, with a blade of grass in his mouth, and his legs crossed, looking just like a fortune teller occupying the roadside.

Not far away, several young security guard colleagues were pointing and whispering at him.

"Hey, who's this new guy? He looks like a street thug."

"I heard that Captain Chen personally arranged for him to get in; he must have connections."

"With his lazy and irresponsible attitude, how could he possibly guard the gate?"

Li Haotian completely ignored the discussions. He was holding a broken cell phone, struggling to find a signal, trying to catch up on the TV series he hadn't finished watching yesterday.

Just then, a piercing engine roar came from afar.

A bright red Porsche sports car completely ignored the "5 km/h speed limit" sign at the school gate and charged straight in like a mad bull.

A female student who was on the phone at the entrance was so startled by the sudden appearance of the sports car that she froze on the spot. Her phone and books fell to the ground with a "thud," and she turned pale, forgetting to dodge.

"Watch out!" the security captain shouted from the side, but it was too late.

The sports car was about to hit the girl.

Li Haotian, who was sitting on a stool, moved.

He didn't even stand up; he just lazily stretched out a hand, as if to shoo away a buzzing fly, and casually pressed it against the front of the Porsche.

His movements were not fast, even a bit slow.

However, the moment his ordinary palm gently touched the hood of the speeding Porsche...

"Buzz—Bang!"

A dull, deafening thud, like an oil drum being smashed by a hammer.

The multi-million dollar sports car seemed to have crashed into an invisible mountain. The entire front of the car dented inward in an exaggerated arc, centered on Li Haotian's palm, and the hood was crumpled into a ball like paper.

Immediately afterwards, four sounds rang out in succession: "Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!"

The four large tires deflated instantly, like balloons that had been punctured at the same time, and the whole car came to a stop with a thud, lying on the ground less than half a meter away from the girl.

The surroundings fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stared in disbelief at this bizarre scene.

Li Haotian withdrew his hand and wiped it on his pants, as if he had gotten something dirty on it. He put his sunglasses back on and continued fiddling with his old phone, as if nothing had happened.

The Porsche door was suddenly pushed open, and a young man dressed in designer clothes with brightly colored hair rushed out. He was Ma Feng.

Ma Feng didn't even look at the girl he almost hit. He touched the completely deformed front of his car with heartache, then suddenly looked up, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Li Haotian.

"You fucking asking for it!" Ma Feng lunged at Li Haotian, his finger almost poking his nose. "You stinking security guard, do you know who I am? Do you know how much this car costs? You couldn't afford to pay for it even if you sold yourself! My dad is Ma Dongqiang!"

Li Haotian finally raised his head, took off his sunglasses, and revealed a pair of calm, expressionless eyes.

He didn't look at Ma Feng, but pointed to the broken-down sports car and then to the four flat tires, speaking in a very sincere tone.

"Young man, don't get so hot-tempered."

"Look, the tire's blown out."
