Two days later, fully prepared, Chen Chen awoke again from within the cryogenic chamber.

With a gentle click, the lid of the cryogenic chamber slowly slid open. Chen Chen found himself inside a room surrounded by cement walls.

The room was approximately thirty square meters in size. There were no installations such as a window, only a heavy stone door on one side of it.

There was a metal counter in the center of the room. It looked like one of those remote stall counters with wheels installed at its bottom, commonly used by street vendors which they would decorate with their goods such as pancakes, tofu, and whatnot.

On top of the metal counter were two large, lit yellow candles. These candles were as thick as a regular calf.

There was also plenty of tableware spotted on the counter including spoons, plates, and even an ancient porcelain bowl that looked like a sacred artifact. These were the exquisite tableware put on display.
