Chapter One: The Flashlight Beam Opens the Gate to All Realms
In the early morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the window.
The room was filled with wisps of smoke, and the air smelled of burning hair.
Niu Bi sat in the corner, still shaken.
"Damn, what a fraud! That was close!"
After a long while, Niu Bi shakily got up, looked at the black stick on the socket that had almost killed him, and was furious.
After graduating from university, Niu Bi worked the night shift at a cake shop in Xiushui County.

"Dreams are often beautiful, but reality is often harsh..."
As darkness fell, Niu Bi woke up, looked out the window, and smiled bitterly. His dream clearly reflected his inner desires.
Who doesn't want a good material life?
Surrounded by attendants and appearing prominent in public?
But so what?
A penniless guy with no job, living in three cement houses left by his deceased grandfather, can only hope to work hard and eventually marry a nice wife and have children.
"I don't want to think about this anymore, time to go to the night shift!"
Niu Bi shook off the unrealistic thoughts in his mind, got up, put on his clothes, and prepared to wash up.
"This...crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it looks
