Quick Transmigration: Playing the Role of a Devoted Tool

Back in Lab 809, Qi Ran was immediately pounced on by the black ball as soon as she entered.

"Black Ball, do you know that you're not the same as you were when you were a child? If you keep doing this, I'm going to break your ribs."

Qi Ran sighed and pulled the black ball out of his arms.

This guy was as big as a basketball, slumped in Qi Ran's arms. He clearly heard what was said, but pretended not to understand. He stretched out several long, stringy tentacles and stuck them to Qi Ran's face and neck.

"I'm going to clean the house now. You stay on the platform." Qi Ran pulled him down and placed him on the platform.

The laboratory was filthy, with the glass around the room and the floor covered in black threads from the black ball.

This guy loves to spit out black liquid. The sticky saliva isn't poisonous, but if it's not cleaned up, the lab will soon become a painting paradise for the black sphere.

The black ball didn't care what Qi Ran was doing. Seeing Qi Ran squatting, it jumped onto his shoulder and squatted down.

Qi Ran was taken aback. It was obvious that there was a dark mark on his back.

"Black Ball, you did this on purpose." Qi Ran freed one hand to touch him, then continued kneeling on the ground to clean up.

The cleaning work could have been done by the robot, but the black ball mistook the previous robot that came in for an intruder and smashed it into pieces.

The director told Qi Ran that, considering the cost of the nursing home, it would be better to do it manually.

Qi Ran naturally had no objections, but the black ball liked to ride on his back while he was working. It was unclear whether it was observing Qi Ran or simply using Qi Ran as a mount.

Two hours later, the laboratory was cleaned again.

The black, slimy substance was finally gone from the floor and the surrounding glass. Qi Ran collapsed onto the floor, too exhausted to move.

The black ball crouched on Qi Ran's chest, pressing down on him like a mountain, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Black ball, get down! Do you want to crush me?"

The black ball remained still and extended its tentacles to play with Qi Ran's hair.

It seemed very interested in studying Qi Ran's hair, especially the tuft of hair on the top of her head.

The ahoge (cowlick) was flattened by it, then bounced back up.

Flatten it, and it bounces back.

Qi Ran was tired and didn't want to bother with it, so she closed her eyes and prepared to rest for a while.

Once he began to breathe evenly, the monster stopped, softening into a pool of flowing liquid, like an unevenly cut blanket, covering the boy's body, almost burying his head as well.

The surveillance footage showed the human and the monster getting along harmoniously, with no indication of its danger.

Tomina stared thoughtfully at the heartwarming scene on the monitor. He asked Kaya whether the monster was keeping the boy as food or as a companion.

"Maybe it's just curiosity."

"Is that so?" Tomina narrowed her eyes, a hint of amusement in her voice. "You can't bear to see him become a breeding ground for monsters?"

This is the most crucial secret within the orphanage.

Humans wanted to breed the most docile generation of monsters to contribute to human technology, but no one knew that it was their caretakers who were breeding the monsters.

Once the monster matures, the caretaker will be squeezed dry of its last bit of value.

Some monsters eat their mothers when they are young, while others drain their mothers of nutrients during gestation.

In short, this was an experiment that was bound to result in certain death.

Of course, some survived, like Darrell.

He was the best caretaker in the orphanage, escaping death several times, and eventually gained Tomina's approval, who assigned him other caretaker tasks, no longer requiring him to risk his life for breeding.

Monsters reproduce without love.

They only have the concepts of parasite and parasitized.

Tomina turned off the surveillance, opened her emails, and began filtering through the new young humans.

Every year, many alien biology majors graduate from various planets. At their most foolish age, they are also the easiest to control.

Kaya watched all of this.

She no longer remembered how many young faces in the orphanage had died in the monster's arms, nor where those people came from.

She is an android, born to serve her master.

But at this moment, Kaya hesitated.

If the boy eventually becomes a test subject on the experimental table, those beautiful eyes will never smile again, and he will never call her "sister" again.

What to do?

When Qi Ran woke up, it was a little after 3 p.m. on Planet Grantz.

"Little Black?"

Little Black moved slightly and slowly returned to its spherical shape.

Qi Ran picked it up and placed it on the table, then prepared food for it.

Carnivores are animals of Planet Grantz, and Black Ball loves to eat them. As soon as Qi Ran finished cutting them, it swallowed them whole and even licked Qi Ran's fingertips clean.

This creature is like a mollusk; it has no teeth and swallows everything it eats whole.

Sometimes, out of curiosity, Qi Ran would reach in and touch it. The texture was like being in fermenting dough—sticky and itchy.

After feeding Xiao Hei, Qi Ran taught it what it couldn't eat and what it could eat.

Sometimes this guy would swallow the table as if it were food, then stuff himself so much that he couldn't vomit, and Qi Ran would have to help him poop it out.

However, Xiao Hei has a bad temper.

After Qi Ran kept nagging for a while, it got tired of listening, so it jumped up and swallowed Qi Ran whole.

Because it wasn't big enough, it could only swallow half of Qi Ran.

Qi Ran can breathe inside Xiao Hei's body. The dean values ​​this ability highly. If Xiao Hei's ability is fully explored, perhaps in the future humans will not need to wear spacesuits to breathe in outer space.

"Little Black, is it comfortable hanging upside down like this?"

Qi Ran looked up and saw Xiao Hei hanging on the ceiling like a giant water droplet, seemingly about to fall, swaying from time to time.

With Xiao Hei out of the way, Qi Ran began cleaning the feeding troughs and placing the daily samples at the conveyor.

The androids from outside are periodically taken to the laboratory for data analysis.

Three months later.

Little Black has grown up. It's no longer as big as a balloon, but has grown into a giant ball taller than Qi Ran.

Lab 809 was no longer enough for it to move around in, so the dean specially approved a change of environment for Xiao Hei.

It is a large laboratory that can simulate a rainforest.

Upon arriving at its new home, Xiao Hei was extremely curious and scurried around the laboratory. When Qi Ran occasionally glanced at it, Xiao Hei looked like a giant rat wandering through the woods, and he could only see a blurry afterimage.

"Little Black! You can't damage the trees."

Just as Xiao Hei was about to break a giant tree, it heard Qi Ran's words and reluctantly spat it out. Black, sticky sap dripped down, showing its reluctance.

"This is your home. It doesn't look nice anymore if you break the trees."

Qi Ran went over and touched it. Xiao Hei also stretched out a few tentacles to touch Qi Ran, but its tentacles were no longer the same as when it was a kitten, and it almost tripped Qi Ran.

"Okay, I need to go check the environment. You can play now."

Xiao Hei looked at Qi Ran, jumped up a tree, and hid in the shadows to observe.

Qi Ran toured the laboratory, which was over 500 square meters in size. He had only walked around the outer perimeter; the contents of the center were still unknown.

The diagram indicated that there was a small pond in the center of the laboratory, in which native fish were raised.

Qi Ran followed the instructions and stepped into the rainforest.

The surrounding trees are very large, and it is quiet as soon as you enter, as if you have entered a real rainforest.

Before long, a small pond appeared in front of them.

Qi Ran discovered that there were quite a lot of fish here.
