Chapter 1: Mysterious Blind Box Gains Space

"What perfume did you spray today? It smells so good!" A short man whispered slowly in Xu Nian's ear in a sticky tone.

Xu Nian raised his middle finger in his heart, turned around, took two steps back, and asked coldly, "Didn't the manager come to me to discuss the plan?"

Seeing Xu Nian's cold expression, the manager couldn't help but sneer: "Xu Nian, why are you pretending to be so noble in front of me? To tell you the truth, whether your plan can be passed depends on you."

Xu Nian could no longer suppress her anger. This plan concerned not only her, but was the result of three months of investigation and research by her team. Yet, this good-for-nothing was using it to threaten her.

Xu Nian walked quickly to the door, opened the office door and said loudly:

"Why don't you look in the mirror and examine your own moral character? You are a slacker who goes around taking advantage of others every day, pretending to be a gentleman.

You have a mouth full of bad breath but you still stick it on women. Don't you feel uncomfortable when you see everyone's disgusted looks?

"Hare-headed, monkey-brained, lecherous and vulgar" is the most appropriate description of you.

"You you you"

"What do you mean by 'you'? Don't take my tolerance for you as a sign of shamelessness. If you stick your butt up and look at the sky, I think you are blind.

Aren't you threatening me? If I don't let you take advantage, you're going to cut my plan. I tell you, you slut, I'm done with this, go to hell."

After saying this in one breath, Xu Nian raised his middle finger and glared at the manager opposite him with a sullen face, then walked to his workstation, picked up his cell phone, put on his bag and was about to leave.

The members of the project team gathered around and wanted to say a few words of advice but then all kept their mouths shut tacitly. Xu Nian smiled and strode out.

Walking out of the company gate, Xu Nian took a deep breath. From the moment she came to Jiangcheng, she felt that she was Xu Nian.

Touching her hungry stomach, Xu Nian waved and got into a taxi. Even though she was very hungry, she wanted to stay away from the company, otherwise it would affect her appetite.

She casually opened the mobile phone software and started searching for food. She saw a newly opened blind box food store which aroused her interest. She usually relieves stress from work by opening blind boxes.

When they arrived, Xu Nian saw that the store was very old and did not look like a new store. He walked in and looked around and saw that it was empty except for one dining table.

Xu Nian was about to walk out when the boss came over. The reason why Xu Nian knew that this was the boss was because he was wearing a red gown that didn't fit in with the environment. If it wasn't role-playing, only the boss could be so unrestrained.

"Welcome, Miss, to the Blind Box Food Store."

Xu Nian, who originally wanted to leave, changed her mind. She thought this store was quite interesting. Since she had so much free time today, she might as well play with this novel blind box.

"You mean, you only have a blind box for 1,008 yuan?"

Xu Nian looked at the smiling boss and felt that he looked like a liar.

She really wanted to turn around and leave, but her damn curiosity was too great. She wanted to know what delicious food she could win.

Finally, I convinced myself to place the order using the reason that the number 1008 is the same as my birthday.

The boss took Xu Nian to a wooden square pillar, pointed to a bulge in the middle and said, "Miss, just press this button."

As soon as Xu Nian pressed the button as instructed, he heard a clang. The boss took out a wooden box from the food pickup port and placed it on the dining table.

"Please have your meal, miss." After saying that, he turned around and left the restaurant.

Xu Nian was stunned. What did this mean? Did it mean that he could leave work after completing the sales quota?

With a sigh, Xu Nian sat down resignedly. When he opened the lunch box and saw only a bowl of white porridge, he knew why the boss ran away so fast.

Since he had spent the money, he certainly couldn't waste it. What if this porridge was extraordinary? Until the last mouthful of porridge went into his stomach, Xu Nian could be sure that this was just an ordinary bowl of white porridge.

After finishing the meal, the boss was still not there, so Xu Nian could only resign himself to walking out of the store. However, he immediately gave a bad review on the software, saying that the food was extremely unpalatable.

After returning to his rented apartment, Xu Nian turned on his computer and posted an article on his blog about a certain manager of a certain company sexually harassing a female employee, with a picture attached with detailed text message content.

Because Xu Nian often shares articles about intangible cultural heritage, many people follow her. I believe that many people will pay attention to this incident.

After doing all this, Xu Nian went to bed and fell asleep before 10 o'clock, which was a rare occasion without having to stay up all night.

The moonlight outside the window leaked in through the gaps in the uncovered curtains and shone onto the chest of Xu Nian who was sleeping soundly.

While dreaming, Xu Nian felt that he had walked into a space. Everywhere he looked was dark black soil. Walking forward, there was a stream running horizontally, but he couldn't see its source.

Xu Nian sat by the stream and put her feet in. It was cool and refreshing, very comfortable. Just as she closed her eyes and enjoyed it, she felt her feet itching.

She looked down and saw a group of fish and shrimps. What made Xu Nian feel incredible was that some of the fish and shrimps in the stream were extremely large. It was too magical.

Xu Nian felt that this dream must be a good sign.

She woke up at dawn the next day. Thinking of her dream last night, Xu Nian happily hummed a song as she got out of bed.

As the saying goes, excessive joy leads to sorrow. Xu Nian accidentally tripped over the leg of the bed and knocked himself unconscious, and had the same dream as last night.

When Xu Nian opened his eyes again, he couldn't help but wonder, was it really a dream?

She sat up and concentrated on the scene in her dream. Unexpectedly, she sat on the black soil in her dream. When she returned to the living room of the apartment again, she was ecstatic. This couldn't be space.

She threw the pillow beside her into the space in her consciousness just as she remembered the novel, but she didn't expect it would actually work.

Xu Nian spent the whole morning throwing things in and taking them out, until her stomach started to protest and she stopped.

Only after offering sacrifices to the five sacred temples did she begin to think seriously about her life.

Xu Nian's parents divorced and started their own families. She has been dependent on her grandmother since she was a child. After her grandmother passed away three years ago, she has never returned to that remote mountain village.

Now Xu Nian is tired of life in Jiangcheng and wants to return to the small mountain village where he and his grandmother have shared memories, and live a life of working from sunrise to sunset.

What's more, she had the chance to obtain such a magical treasure as space, so she felt that the small mountain village was safer.

However, before deciding to leave, Xu Nian still wanted to study this space further and also buy some supplies to bring back to the village.

Xu Nian immediately opened a certain Jingdong app and started placing orders quickly, with the main feature being that it was quick and she didn't have to leave the house.

Xu Nian spent the whole afternoon on a shopping spree until she stopped when the balance on the software prompt card was insufficient.

In just one afternoon, Xu Nian spent all the two hundred thousand yuan she had in her pocket. If it weren't for the money left for her by her grandmother in the other card, she would probably have continued to buy things.
