Officer, I'm Really the Owner of the Escape Room

[No Romance] [System Gacha] [Comedy Mystery] [Scheming Shopkeeper]

When normal people open an escape room, they recruit NPCs, design a few simple puzzles, and sell tickets the honest way.

When Gu Yuan opens one, he draws cards to inherit a master thief’s lockpicking skills, a forensic pathologist’s autopsy skills, and an assassin’s counter-surveillance expertise, then... turns his escape room into an unofficial police station!

As the whole internet accuses him of being a “retired crime boss,” Gu Yuan doesn’t have time to care. All he can think about is making money!

A drug lord on the run for ten years comes to try the escape room? Gu Yuan flips a switch, hangs him upside down in a trap, and tearfully pockets a 500,000-yuan reward!

An international thief wants to steal the shop’s high-tech props? Gu Yuan gets into a battle of wits and sends him straight to jail to boost his arrest numbers!

When the police chief sees that Gu Yuan has sent in more wanted criminals than the officers have caught, he’s numb with disbelief.

“Boss Gu, are you actually going to keep this escape room open or not?”

Counting a stack of commendation banners and reward money, Gu Yuan replies with a straight face, “Of course! How much can you make from ticket sales? These ‘walking 500,000-yuan rewards’ are the real VIPs of my shop!”
