After transmigrating to the third year of the Zhenguan era, Cai Xiaoyu awakens the Daily Mystery Box System.
From the start, he pulls out amoxicillin and saves Du Ruhui, who was already halfway into his grave, stunning all of Chang'an!
Li Shimin goes incognito and is won over by a packet of spicy strips, becoming a regular at Cai Xiaoyu's little courtyard from then on.
Cheng Chumo begs to be his lackey, Changsun Chong brings him money every day, Fang Yiai won't let go of his potato chips, and even Crown Prince Li Chengqian hangs around his house drinking cola.
While everyone else writes poetry and studies for the civil service exams, I make cement, build railways, smelt steel, and develop cannons.
Li Shimin: “Sir, how much food and fodder will it take to pacify the Turks?”
Cai Xiaoyu: “First, get me a hundred thousand buckets of braised beef instant noodles!”
Years later, as the ironclad ships of the Tang sail across the Atlantic, Li Shimin looks at his assembled officials and sighs:
“The best decision I ever made was not having Cai Xiaoyu executed as a demon back then.”
