Siheyuan: Commanding an Ant Army to Crush the Entire Courtyard

After transmigrating into the Four-House Courtyard as Zhang Qiu, the easiest person in the entire compound to bully, Silly Zhu wants to steal his family's recipes, Liu Haizhong wants to force him to sell his three main rooms for a low price, and Qin Huairu wants to live in his house for free. No one knows that he is bound to an Ant Lord System: millions of ants have quietly spread throughout every corner of the capital.

Silly Zhu has barely finished throwing his weight around when, that very evening, the "ants climbing a tree" dish he makes for a leader is sabotaged. Real ants swarm through the clay pot, Deputy Director Li flips the table on the spot, and a disciplinary notice comes down. Liu Haizhong is still figuring out how to drive down the price, while a third of the beams in his house have already been eaten through by army ants. Jia Zhangshi blocks the door and makes a scene, only to scream and tumble off her bed the next second: thousands of fire ants have somehow crawled into her bedding.

The whole compound is scheming about how to bleed him dry, but they haven't noticed that every brick and tile in the courtyard is already crawling with his eyes. He digs an ancient tomb dating back to the Guangxu era out from beneath the capital, intercepts weapons in the jungles of Nanyang, and steals secrets from laboratories in the Americas. By the time this pack of beasts finally realizes who the real hunter is, an army of ants has surrounded them completely.
