His father's thirty-thousand-yuan deposit is due tomorrow morning, but the station manager forces Chen Ye to take a twenty-three-kilometer delivery in a rainstorm for just seven yuan. The destination: a haunted building where people burned to death twenty years ago. An old woman, who has been starving inside for three days, asks only, “Child, is the noodles still hot?”
After delivering a bowl of plain noodles to the haunted building, Chen Ye unexpectedly binds to the Three Realms Delivery System. Delivering food to ghosts earns him Yin-Yang Eyes; bringing a chicken to a fox immortal gets him a pass to the demon market; delivering fried rice to the City God lets him borrow a city's incense offerings to suppress evil spirits.
By day, he uses evidence to bring down his crooked station manager. Late at night, he rides his electric scooter along the Yellow Springs Road and through processions of ghosts. Then the ninth Heaven-ranked order appears. The note reads: Please deliver the last hot meal in the human world to the end of the apocalypse.
