You Asked Me to Sell Hardware, So I Pulled Out a Lithography Machine

[Urban + System + cutting-edge technology + livestreaming + patriotism + no female lead/one female lead]

[The author solemnly promises five chapters every day, with no delays!!]

Jiang Che inherits the old hardware store left behind by his second great-uncle and unexpectedly awakens the “Universal Supply System.”

The System's rules are simple and ruthless: if a customer dares to ask for something, the hardware store can absolutely supply it!

At first, passersby only want to buy screwdrivers and electric drills, and things seem fairly normal.

That is, until a streamer looking to make a spectacle walks into the shop and shouts, “Boss, give me a one-nanometer lithography machine!”

Jiang Che doesn't bat an eye. He turns around and pulls a dusty machine out from beneath the shelves. “The plug's on the left. Shipping isn't free.”

The whole internet explodes!

From then on, the hardware store goes completely off the rails.

Streamer: “Boss, do you have a wrench that can hand-build nuclear fusion?”

Jiang Che: “Sure. This titanium alloy one can withstand high temperatures. You can use it to hand-build nuclear fusion and repair starships, too.”

The Eagle Nation sanctions chips? Jiang Che turns around and sells photon chips wholesale, by the pound!

The Eagle Nation blocks the waters? Jiang Che pulls out a “civilian” fishing boat equipped with an electromagnetic railgun!

As the livestream's popularity soars to the top, the National Security Bureau can't sit still and seals off the street overnight.

“Boss, we'd like to buy the aerospace carrier platform from the Southern Heavenly Gate Project.”

“Boss, get us a few sets of powered exoskeleton armor for infantry, the kind with laser weapons.”

Jiang Che calmly takes their money while casually pulling cutting-edge technology far ahead of the rest of the world out of the warehouse in his back yard.

The Eagle Nation breaks down: You call this a hardware store? What kind of hardware store sells high-tech weapons?
