I Opened a Mystery Box Shop, and the Nation Rushed to Give Me a Government Job Overnight

Lin Bai opened a midnight mystery-box shop on a gloomy old street. The shop had bizarre rules: it opened for just one hour at midnight, each customer could buy only one box, haggling was forbidden, and the owner had a terrible attitude. The neighbors all laughed that he was bound to go bankrupt, until one day a mysterious, icy beauty of a special agent bought a mystery box on a whim. That night, the highest-level alert at Huaxia's most secretive agency, Bureau Nine, rang out across the country! “Director! The box contained an S-class anomalous object capable of destroying the world!” “Report! The shopkeeper's trash turned out to be blueprints for an antigravity engine!” “Director, even the old man guarding the shop killed an abyssal beast with a single swing of his broom!” The nation's leaders went completely mad and dispatched troops overnight to seal off the entire street. To keep Lin Bai, the “living god,” on their side, the authorities began showering him with favors: special privileges, the rank of general, and a trillion in funding! The world's richest men, top financial magnates, and foreign agents lined up outside the shop every night, hoping the owner would open for business. Faced with the frantic attempts by all kinds of powerful big shots to curry favor outside, Lin Bai had just woken up and could only sigh. “I just wanted to sell a few mystery boxes to pay for my internet bill. How did I somehow end up as the national strategic commander?”
