Blind Box Invasion

[Synopsis to be revised] At some point, Ye Tan's world started to grow strange. Mysterious blind boxes of unknown origin suddenly became widespread, gradually invading people's peaceful lives. No one knew what the next box would contain. It might hold a chance to regain one's youth, or an evil spirit that could never be shaken off. For his birthday, a friend gave him a gift consisting of nine blind boxes arranged in a 3x3 grid. His friend smiled and told him that some contained presents, some held a fortune, and one had a venomous snake hidden inside. His bonus for payday came in a blind-box envelope, too. Someone won the grand prize, while Ye Tan got the secret edition: proof that his department head had embezzled public funds. Even picking up deliveries was no exception. Nine delivery blind boxes appeared in front of Ye Tan, and the courier smiled and told him to pick one. The parcel he had ordered was hidden inside. Gold and silver, status and power, a longer life and good health, supernatural abilities: Ye Tan wasn't interested in any of it. He just wanted his original pack of tissues, bought online for 9.9 with free shipping, and to leave the delivery company a terrible review. Ye Tan couldn't help wondering: With everything so obvious, surely I can't be the only one who's noticed that something is wrong with the world? "So you've noticed something strange, too, right?" "At this point, I think the strangest thing is you," his new neighbor said with a complicated expression. "Let's set aside the fact that you've been so lucky you haven't been injured or nearly killed, and have made it this far in one piece. Just how often you pull a secret edition is suspicious enough. And yet, despite all that, your sanity has never once been damaged." Theme: You have to fight for your life yourself. Don't keep waiting for windfalls to fall from the sky.
