    Qiu Zhibai clearly remembered his memories before his transmigration. It was a bright and sunny morning. As a game planner, he arrived at the company and saw the programmers who had slept all night. He then went through the new game code. After proposing to express the effects of a AAA game using a mobile web application, and to represent the complex game content and vibrant black and white using simpler code, a certain enraged programmer slammed his head onto the keyboard and rolled it around. He vaguely remembered the other person saying something like he had to roll his face to create a game that met the requirements. Statistically speaking… it was possible. Qiu Zhibai didn't hold a grudge, because perhaps because of the face-rolling on the keyboard, a game actually appeared in his mind. "Alright, all students who have decided to go to the Dark Spirit Realm, come here and get an application form." The homeroom teacher, Old Zhang, interrupted Qiu Zhibai's recollection. The classroom was silent. Today was Qiu Zhibai's graduation day from high school. The technology level of this world was a little worse than in his previous life, but there was still the college entrance examination and university, and ordinary people could still enjoy a comfortable life. However… all of this was within the safe zone. One hundred years ago, the Dark Spirit Realm descended upon Earth, opening a spatial portal that brought darkness to certain regions.
