Orphaned and working tirelessly for three years, I finally bought my own house only to face the apocalypse. For the second time, I must endure the same catastrophic disaster.
But this time I ...
"Ding!" The elevator arrived, and Xu Lin followed 801 out of the elevator.
"Wait here a moment, I'll go home and get it."
"OK"
A moment later, 801 came out of the room, holding something that looked like a multimeter.
"Attach this lock pick to the safe's combination lock, press the green button, and you're done."
"So simple! There are still such high-tech things these days! Where did you buy it?"
I made it myself.
"..." Comparing yourself to others is just asking for trouble!
Holding the lock pick, Xu Lin happily entered the house, quickly finished her late-night snack, washed up, and went to bed. She planned to study the safe tomorrow.
It was that familiar alarm clock ringing again. I stayed up late last night, and the alarm rang twice before it finally woke Xu Lin up. She yawned and cooked a deluxe version of noodles.
After finishing my meal, I cleaned the house and then spent an hour learning military gymnastics from a video before I finally had time to open the safe.
A row of safes was placed on the living room floor; if you didn't know better, you'd think you'd walked into a security equipment store.
Xu Lin took the lock pick and pressed the button on the safe door. Ten seconds later, with a "click," the door opened. Xu Lin was delighted to see stacks of cash, estimated to be at least seven figures.
Xu Lin suspected that she had hit the jackpot after being reborn, getting exactly what she needed.
First, put the Mao Zedong portrait on the left, then open the next "blind box." The next box contained two rough diamonds, four jade bracelets, and three jade thumb rings. The quality looked pretty good. Xu Lin didn't know much about them, so she put them on the right.
They opened seven more safes in the same way. One safe contained watches, three contained Mao Zedong's banknotes, and the other three contained various antiques and jade items. As usual, they put the Mao Zedong's banknotes on the left and the rest on the right. It seems that the unscrupulous manager is an "antique" enthusiast.
There was only one safe left. Xu Lin casually opened it, and her eyes widened instantly. Inside was a wooden gun, with two boxes of ammunition next to it.
"This is real torture!"
You should know that this kind of thing is strictly prohibited in China, yet this unscrupulous manager actually kept it. For Xu Lin, this was like adding wings to a tiger.
Having opened all the blind boxes, Xu Lin first put the stack on the right and the 10 empty safes into her spatial storage. With the apocalypse upon us, this pile wouldn't even buy a fresh steamed bun, but her spatial storage needed it. She'd wait until it was full and see if she could give herself a surprise.
Look at this pile on the left, about 400W, time to stock up again.
This blind box opening was so much fun, especially the last one—it was a doomsday weapon! Xu Lin was in a great mood, and then, in a moment of excitement, she ordered ten 3-pound packs of crayfish on a food delivery platform. If she couldn't finish them, she could just store them in her online storage!
While waiting for my takeout, I studied the lock-picking gadget I borrowed from 801. After studying it for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out. It's true that different fields are like different worlds. I have no idea what 801 does.
"Ding-dong~", the takeout has arrived. Xu Lin brought the takeout in, put one on the table, put eight into her space, and then went to knock on the door of room 801 with a lock pick and a plate of crayfish.
The person in room 801 opened the door, dressed in sportswear, with sweat on their forehead, clearly having just finished exercising.
Xu Lin handed over the lock pick and crayfish, saying, "Thank you for your lock-picking gadget, it's super useful. Here, have some crayfish."
801 took the lock pick and the crayfish, saying, "You're welcome."
"Um, I was wondering if you have any spare lock picks? I'd like to buy one from you, or maybe you could offer me something in exchange?"
"I can give you the lock pick directly as a welcome gift to my new neighbor. However, I'm currently working on an upgraded version that can open car doors and electronic door locks. Do you want the original or the upgraded version?"
"Thank you so much! I'll take the upgraded version." Is there even a question?
