Time-Space Blind Boxes: Get Rich by Finding Bargains

Upcoming novels: The Real Heiress Is an Antiques Expert Even in the Interstellar Era; Open Blind Boxes for Cultivation by Farming Hatred Points; The Ancient Miss Dominates the Supernatural Tales Wen Yi was as graceful as her name suggested, with a pair of delicate, jade-like hands. She was also a homebody who had chosen an unusual line of work: freelance designer. Put more plainly, she was a seamstress who took private commissions. She didn’t care about accidentally discovering her true background or being ostracized during her internship. All she needed was a studio. Selling one of the custom-made Hanfu pieces she created was enough to let her lounge around for a month. But one evening, after she had stayed indoors for an entire month, Wen Yi opened her door to collect a food delivery, and her world changed. [The Time-Space Blind Box System has been bound. Newbie gift: Leftover Food Blind Box delivered. Please accept!] Wen Yi looked at the deluxe food-delivery box in her hands. It contained a premium Japanese seafood set, with every kind of shrimp you could imagine, plus abalone and lobster. Three dark lines appeared on her forehead. “You call this a Leftover Food Blind Box?” [The ingredients that a three-Michelin-star Japanese restaurant didn’t manage to use up today. How is that not leftover food?] Right, how could it not be called leftover food? There were also silk blind boxes, seized by bandits three hundred years ago; memento blind boxes from battlefields decades in the past; household appliance blind boxes from the present day; spiritual food blind boxes from the cultivation world... [Would you like to get these amazing blind boxes?] Wen Yi nodded vigorously, her eyes shining like stars. “Yes, yes, yes! Of course I want them!” [Please complete this challenge: within half an hour, travel ten kilometers under your own power, at your own expense, to a pan-fried bun shop with a five-star rating on Dianping. Succeed and you will receive blind box points.] Wen Yi: “...That’s an impossible task, isn’t it? As expected, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Not even when it’s leftovers.” * Later, the cast of a huge hit drama publicly thanked its costume designer in an interview. An award-winning actress who walked the red carpet in Hanfu received a frenzied welcome from fans around the world. A child star whose talent had gone unrecognized wore a historically accurate Hanfu and seemed to have stepped out of an ancient painting as a noblewoman of a fallen dynasty... At last, everyone realized that they were all talking about the same person! ~ I’m a reliable writer, and my column has completed novels. If you’re interested, feel free to take a look. Getting Rich by Eating Gossip from Blind Boxes as a Half-Baked Fortune Teller The System Forces Me to Become a Freediving Champion A Loving, Everyday Life with the Beast World Red Packet Group Becoming the Richest Person After Turning In a Time-Space Portal Going Beachcombing After Retirement Upcoming Novel 1: The Real Heiress Is an Antiques Expert Even in the Interstellar Era Antique expert Jiang Liluo went through untold hardships to defeat her grandfather’s ten prized disciples and inherit, across generations, one of the antique world’s most prestigious shops: Ying Bao Zhai. But the moment she stepped through the shop’s door, she unexpectedly arrived in a whole new world. A question arose: After crossing two thousand years, could the knowledge she had once possessed still serve as her advantage? The answer was: Of course! And she would gain even more. . In the new world, she somehow became the real heiress of an esteemed family of ancient culture, a girl who had been lost outside the family and grown up ignorant and undisciplined. Her eldest brother, a porcelain expert: “This bottle of Moutai is definitely an authentic piece from two thousand years ago. I’ll stake my reputation on it!” Jiang Liluo: I never knew this “Moutai Town Guest Wine” counted as Moutai. And it clearly says right here that it’s strong-aroma baijiu. Everyone knows Moutai is only sauce-aroma baijiu. Eldest brother: In the interstellar era, baijiu has become the stuff of legend. No one can tell the different types apart, let alone distinguish them. Her second brother, an expert in ancient writing: “After humanity migrated away and returned to Earth, we clearly lost a great deal of the written heritage of ancient China. No one can read all the characters on this book’s cover anymore. We can only make out the words ‘volume one’ and ‘volume two.’” Jiang Liluo: Those two huge characters say “Chinese Language.” No one can recognize them? This is obviously a first-grade, second-semester Chinese textbook. Second brother: I never knew this was the legendary Chinese textbook. Her adoptive sister, an expert in ancient zoology: “We can see from this rooster bowl what roosters kept as poultry two thousand years ago looked like. It’s almost certain that today’s four-legged, two-winged beasts evolved from roosters.” Jiang Liluo: That’s a hen, not a rooster. And it’s obviously a counterfeit that didn’t even get the imitation right. Her adoptive sister looked bewildered. “What are roosters and hens?” . After that, Jiang Liluo livestreamed archaeological digs, appeared on variety shows to promote traditional culture, and translated legal documents from a thousand years ago. Step by step, she helped people who had lost their cultural pride learn more about history. Before she knew it, Jiang Liluo had gone further and further after establishing herself in the future. She not only reopened Ying Bao Zhai in the interstellar era and turned it into the Ying Bao Museum, but also taught people in the future who yearned to carry on the legacy about the people and events of her own time. Upcoming Novel 2: Open Blind Boxes for Cultivation by Farming Hatred Points Ling Bo transmigrated from the Age of Declining Dharma and discovered that this was a wondrous era combining high technology with cultivation. Nearly every industry had something to do with cultivation. Pharmacies sold elixirs that could improve one’s cultivation. Pet shops sold spirit beasts with bloodlines that could be contracted. Spiritual treasure shops sold all kinds of spiritual artifacts... Most importantly, every channel on TV was promoting the upcoming exploration of a secret realm. . The secret realm was a wondrous place, with spiritual energy more than ten times as dense as in the outside world. Spiritual plants, spirit beasts, and spiritual ore were everywhere. Ten thousand keys had fallen from the sky, and the realm would open for a month. It was a lawless place where people could fight as they pleased, as well as a treasure trove for gold seekers. A key could appear in anyone’s hands. Its owner might be a vagrant or an obscure little celebrity who had provoked a martial arts star by trying to ride on their fame. That’s right, Ling Bo was that obscure little celebrity. No one knew that the little celebrity mocked by everyone for trying to ride a martial arts star’s coattails was actually a legitimate child, while the martial arts star who had enjoyed all the family’s resources was the illegitimate child born with the stain of sin. . While Ling Bo’s heart was racing with excitement over this fascinating new world, a cold, hard voice filled with malice sounded beside her ear. [Congratulations, Host. You have bound the Hatred Point Blind Box System. Farm hatred points to open blind boxes. Spiritual plants, elixirs, spiritual artifacts, cultivation manuals: you name it, we have it.] [Checking current hatred points... Huh? Congratulations, Host. Your current hatred point total is 32,000.] System: ...You really are the chosen Host. Ling Bo secretly rejoiced. So being an obscure little celebrity had benefits like this. Ha ha! Let the ridicule come even harder! . When Ling Bo heard that the illegitimate child had also obtained a key, and that the secret realm expedition would be livestreamed to the entire world, she got even more excited. The illegitimate child was a martial arts star with tens of millions of fans. Even if every one of them gave her a single hatred point, she would make a fortune. Ha ha ha! She’d show that illegitimate child what she could do! All you haters, come hate me! For a month, Ling Bo worked hard to farm hatred points from the illegitimate child. But as the secret realm neared its end, something strange happened. Unable to see what people outside were saying, Ling Bo noticed that the hatred points, which had initially surged, were coming in more and more slowly. Then, one day, she snatched the most valuable spiritual ore in the illegitimate child’s hands like a bully. The illegitimate child crouched on the ground and sobbed, touched that her older sister hadn’t taken everything. Yet her hatred points didn’t go up at all. The obscure little celebrity had become popular after all. That wouldn’t do. Ling Bo hurriedly activated her secret identity feature. Once she left the secret realm, she would change identities and keep farming hatred points. As long as you hate me, we’re sisters born to different parents. . From then on, the female lead’s secret identities appeared on livestreams of the National Youth Cultivation Tournament, interdimensional exploration variety shows, the World Cultivation Tournament, and all sorts of other programs. Everywhere in the world, stories spread of her being “the most wicked person alive.” Until one day, a sweet voice kicked the Hatred Point Blind Box System away. [Hello, Host. I’ve driven that bad guy away. I’m the Goodwill Point Blind Box System. Farm goodwill points to open blind boxes!] Female lead: ...Um, is there any chance that she’s already committed countless sins? [Not at all! I tallied everything up for you, Host. Your current goodwill point total is one million.] Female lead: ...Hadn’t she been doing a great job keeping up her persona? How had things turned out like this? ~ Note: The people whose hatred the female lead farms all deserve what they get. She switches secret identities whenever she likes, and there are identity-reveal and comeback arcs. Upcoming Novel 3: The Ancient Miss Dominates the Supernatural Tales The people who died unjustly, chosen from the Myriad Worlds, gather in the City of Supernatural Tales. Only challengers who clear the final supernatural tale will get a chance to be reborn. The other challengers wonder why one team seems so odd. Everyone else does everything they can to clear the challenges, but these women aren’t in the least bit worried. They keep replaying the same instance over and over. [Nightmare High School] Rules: All teachers and students must strictly maintain their roles and must not act out of character. The other challengers tremble when the chemistry teacher asks them questions, afraid that one wrong answer will cost them their heads. Only Lu Yan keeps raising her hand. “Teacher, may I ask what the periodic table is? Could you start from the beginning and explain it?” The chemistry teacher, who had blown half his head apart during an experiment, leans toward Lu Yan, his skull split open. He’s ready to eat her if she screams, using her disruption of class as an excuse. After waiting several minutes, he finds the student in front of him still gazing at him with wide, eager eyes. Lu Yan: “Teacher, could you explain it one more time?” The teacher can’t act out of character, so he has no choice but to start the lesson again. Half an hour later, Lu Yan is still looking at it with an eager expression. “Could you explain it one more time?” An hour later, Lu Yan lowers her head in remorse. “I’m sorry, Teacher. I really am too stupid.” Chemistry teacher: “You can go. I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do for you.” The instance resets and starts again. A new batch of students has arrived, and the chemistry teacher is about to resume terrifying them when he sees a familiar face gazing at him eagerly. Lu Yan: “Teacher, I’m back again. I still don’t quite understand what we talked about last time. Could you explain it one more time?” Teacher: I don’t want to see such a slow-witted student ever again. Please blow up the instance and kill me. Don’t let anyone stop you! ~ Lu Yan had been an utterly ordinary young lady in ancient times. After her fiancé dragged her in front of his beloved to take a knife meant for her, she thought she was surely going to die. She never imagined that another, far broader world awaited her. Lu Yan experienced supernatural tales set in ancient times, the Republican era, the modern day, and the future, among many other worlds, before being reborn in the truest sense of the word. She suddenly realized that going back didn’t seem all that appealing. She might as well stay here, meet new challenges every day, and learn new things. Besides, she now had teammates who fought alongside her and a thoughtful lover. She couldn’t bear to leave them behind. Theme: Take control of your own destiny.
