00:00:00The story begins as we see a boy named Pei, who rushes to get to work.

00:00:04We learn he's just an average guy, who got a normal job after graduating from college,

00:00:09but he finds his boss to be toxic.

00:00:12He makes it to the train station, and the doors are about to close,

00:00:15but he charges in, and manages to get on just in time.

00:00:19We see that it's one minute to nine, but Pei dashes through,

00:00:22and he manages to sign in at the last moment.

00:00:25The morning goes by, and Pei starts thinking about what he should order for lunch,

00:00:29but he has to compare all the different discounts to get the best deal since he's broke.

00:00:34After he eats his lunch, he starts playing a game to relax,

00:00:37but when he notices his boss, he quickly tabs to a different screen.

00:00:41The boss watches from behind him, but doesn't notice anything.

00:00:45Pei continues with his game, but his boss constantly tries to catch him,

00:00:49trying to sneak up on him.

00:00:51At 6pm, Pei is the first to log off, preparing to get home as soon as possible,

00:00:56but he's stopped by his boss.

00:00:58His boss asks for a copy of his presentation,

00:01:01but Pei notes that the deadline is a week away.

00:01:04His boss insists on getting it today, but Pei refuses, telling his boss off.

00:01:09His boss threatens to fire him, but he doesn't care,

00:01:12telling his boss not to forget his severance or else he will sue.

00:01:16But we see this was just all his imagination,

00:01:18as he agrees to work overtime to get the presentation done.

00:01:22We see Pei working until he's the last one in the office,

00:01:25when the light goes out, and he suddenly gets a message.

00:01:28He sees that his friend sent him a quiz to see his fortune,

00:01:32but he accidentally drops his phone into his bin.

00:01:35As he goes to pick it up, he sees the screen that promises to reveal his fortune,

00:01:40and there's suddenly a voice that says the fortune conversion system will be activated.

00:01:44His phone bursts with light, and countless talismans suddenly appear,

00:01:49circling around him.

00:01:50He gets sucked up in the air, and thrown into his bin, causing him to disappear.

00:01:55He gets woken up by his friend Yang,

00:01:57who tells him to get up for the dean's class, because attendance will be taken.

00:02:01He's confused as he looks around, and his roommates tell him to get up as they leave.

00:02:06Pei realizes he's in his old college dorm,

00:02:08and he's gone back to when he was a freshman.

00:02:11He wonders what's going on, and he thinks about going to his class,

00:02:15but he remembers that the dean never actually took attendance in his class.

00:02:19While there was another teacher who always acted friendly,

00:02:22saying attendance didn't matter, but at the end of the semester,

00:02:25failed everyone that didn't attend.

00:02:27He thinks about how to get back to the future,

00:02:30but realizes that this is his chance to change his life,

00:02:33so he doesn't end up working a dead-end job.

00:02:35He's suddenly about to fall, but his fortune conversion system activates.

00:02:40The system comes to life, and introduces itself as Richie.

00:02:44It explains that the system will give him a startup fund to help him get rich.

00:02:48He's given 50,000 to begin with, and he instantly thinks about the things he can buy.

00:02:54Richie goes on to explain that the system will give him money at regular intervals,

00:02:58which he can use to run a company,

00:03:00and based on his profit-to-loss conversion rate, he can earn money for himself.

00:03:04Pay gets excited about getting rich, and Richie generates his profit-to-loss conversion rate,

00:03:09but it doesn't go as expected, because his loss ratio is higher than his profit rate,

00:03:14so losing money is actually more profitable.

00:03:17He gets excited thinking it will be easier to lose money than earn it,

00:03:21so he celebrates how lucky he is.

00:03:23Richie tells him the next step is to register a company,

00:03:26so he wonders what kind of field he should get into,

00:03:29thinking of a shortcut, but Richie mentions a bunch of rules and restrictions,

00:03:33so he realizes he needs to have a legitimate company.

00:03:37He asks for some time to think, and he looks for some ideas.

00:03:40As he checks his phone, he realizes that the games industry would be perfect to lose his money,

00:03:46since it's hard to actually become successful.

00:03:48He tells Richie his decision, but accidentally names his company something ridiculous,

00:03:53but doesn't care since he doesn't plan to be successful.

00:03:56Richie goes on to warn him that he can't tell anyone about the system,

00:03:59or else he will face a punishment.

00:04:02Richie wishes him the best of luck, and a 14-day timer appears.

00:04:07Pei panics as he wonders how he can develop a game in only 14 days,

00:04:11and Yang returns to the dorm.

00:04:13Pei asks him if it's possible to make a game in only two weeks,

00:04:16and Yang says it's actually easy,

00:04:18revealing a platform filled with templates and resources

00:04:21that make it possible to make a game without even knowing how to code.

00:04:25We see Pei looking over the platform in the library,

00:04:28realizing it's not the best, but thinks it's perfect for just making a bad game.

00:04:33He spends $20,000 on a driving simulator template,

00:04:36paying $15,000 for background assets,

00:04:39and he adds some other basic features, managing to spend all his money.

00:04:43He thinks about what the gameplay should be like,

00:04:45and he decides to make the most boring game possible.

00:04:48He creates the course for the game,

00:04:50and he ends up making it over 8 hours long,

00:04:52thinking the players will hate it.

00:04:55He thinks it's perfect,

00:04:56calling the game The Lonely Desert Road,

00:04:58and he decides to sell it for only 1 yuan,

00:05:01so he can have the lowest profit in case anyone buys it.

00:05:04He sees that nobody is buying his game,

00:05:07so he becomes happy,

00:05:08thinking he's going to make a profit.

00:05:10Their neighbors enter the dorm,

00:05:12inviting them to play video games,

00:05:14but Pei tells them that he won't be playing,

00:05:16because he wasn't able to sleep the previous night.

00:05:19His roommates play against their neighbors,

00:05:21but they realize that they're all noobs,

00:05:23and they end up losing the match.

00:05:25As they continue playing,

00:05:27Pei rests on his bed,

00:05:28as Yang wonders if they're bothering him,

00:05:31but he reveals that he's enjoying the moment.

00:05:33We learn that after he started working,

00:05:35he bought all the games he wanted,

00:05:37but he wasn't able to play them,

00:05:39because he was too busy with his tasks.

00:05:41But he knows that everything's going to be different,

00:05:44because he just needs to lose money to earn profit,

00:05:47thinking he'll never need to work again,

00:05:48so he can live the life he always dreamed of.

00:05:51We meet the content creator Chow,

00:05:53and we learn that he's popular

00:05:54for covering bad games in his channel,

00:05:57but he's struggling to make money,

00:05:59because he can't find a sponsor.

00:06:01He looks for a game to cover for his next video,

00:06:03and he finds the Lonely Desert Road.

00:06:06He reads the introduction,

00:06:07which mentions that the game

00:06:09will make him reflect on his life.

00:06:11He finds it interesting,

00:06:12so he decides to play it,

00:06:14and he's surprised to learn

00:06:15that it has no story whatsoever.

00:06:17He starts driving in the desert,

00:06:19but he becomes distracted,

00:06:21so he ends up crashing,

00:06:22causing him to lose the game.

00:06:24But he uses his controller,

00:06:26and he spends hours trying to complete it.

00:06:28But he starts to feel drowsy,

00:06:30so he tries to pause the game,

00:06:32but he realizes that he can't,

00:06:34and he ends up crashing again,

00:06:35causing him to become angry.

00:06:37He becomes determined to finish the game,

00:06:40thinking his gaming skills are being tested,

00:06:42so he decides to play it with everything he has.

00:06:45But he still struggles to clear it,

00:06:47and he's now frustrated,

00:06:48thinking about giving up,

00:06:50but a notification mentions

00:06:51that there's something waiting for him

00:06:53at the finish line.

00:06:54So he becomes curious,

00:06:56and he continues playing for hours,

00:06:58as he starts reflecting on his life,

00:07:00thinking he has achieved enlightenment.

00:07:02He finally reaches the finish line,

00:07:04but the game congratulates him

00:07:06for wasting 8 hours of his life,

00:07:08so he becomes angry,

00:07:09calling it a scam.

00:07:10We see Pei in his classroom,

00:07:12as Richie shows him his data,

00:07:14informing him that he has 11 days

00:07:16before the next closing date.

00:07:18He thinks he's about to make a fortune,

00:07:20because nobody's downloading his game,

00:07:22but at that moment,

00:07:24he hears his classmates talking about it,

00:07:26realizing it has gone viral.

00:07:28So he rushes back home,

00:07:30wondering why people are buying it,

00:07:31and he checks his laptop,

00:07:33realizing that it has become incredibly popular,

00:07:36because Chow covered it in his channel.

00:07:38Pei watches his video,

00:07:39as he tells his viewers not to play Lonely Desert Road,

00:07:43calling it the most boring game in history,

00:07:45and he mentions that it congratulated him

00:07:47for wasting his time.

00:07:49But this made people curious,

00:07:50so they started buying the game.

00:07:53Yang invites Pei to play it,

00:07:54saying they should give it a try,

00:07:56but he refuses,

00:07:57and he notes that the situation is bad,

00:07:59because he wants his game to flop.

00:08:01So he changes its description,

00:08:03trying to convince the players to ask for a refund,

00:08:06but they tell him that the procedure is tedious,

00:08:09so they decide to let him keep the money.

00:08:11A few days later,

00:08:13we learn that Yang has been playing the game,

00:08:15but he wonders how it became viral,

00:08:17saying it's terrible,

00:08:18but people can't stop playing it.

00:08:20Pei mentions that it wasn't meant to be played,

00:08:22and he falls into despair,

00:08:24knowing he's going to earn less.

00:08:26We cut to a man named Li,

00:08:28who is the owner of a large gaming company.

00:08:30His assistant informs him about Lonely Desert Road,

00:08:33saying it's becoming popular,

00:08:35but she mentions that it only costs 1 yuan,

00:08:38saying it isn't worth buying,

00:08:40because they won't make a profit.

00:08:41But he reveals that he doesn't care about money,

00:08:44because his goal is to monopolize the gaming industry,

00:08:47and he fires her for not sharing his vision.

00:08:50Pei searches the internet,

00:08:51wanting to learn how to lose money,

00:08:53but he can't find an answer,

00:08:55because nobody's interested in that topic.

00:08:57The closing date arrives,

00:08:59and he realizes that his game earns 70,000 yuan,

00:09:02but because of the conversion rate,

00:09:04he only receives 700.

00:09:06Richie congratulates him for creating a successful game,

00:09:10but he isn't happy,

00:09:11because he wanted to earn more money.

00:09:13Richie tells him that he will have 300,000 yuan

00:09:16for the second round,

00:09:17revealing that he has 30 days until the next closing date.

00:09:21But he wonders how he's supposed to spend the money,

00:09:23because it can only be used to start a business.

00:09:26Pei returns home,

00:09:27and Yang invites him to play,

00:09:29realizing he's in a bad mood.

00:09:30He agrees to this,

00:09:32so Yang informs their roommates that he's going to join them,

00:09:35thinking they can finally get revenge on their neighbors.

00:09:38Pei carries the team,

00:09:40but they still end up losing,

00:09:41because Yang is a terrible player,

00:09:43so everyone blames him for the result.

00:09:46He tells Pei that he should have done a better job,

00:09:48so he becomes upset,

00:09:50calling Yang a burden,

00:09:51but he suddenly comes up with an idea.

00:09:53That evening,

00:09:54Pei thinks about Yang,

00:09:56thinking he's the key to losing all of his money.

00:09:58Pei approaches him as he sleeps,

00:10:00but he sees Pei,

00:10:02so he panics,

00:10:03alerting everyone in the building.

00:10:05The next day,

00:10:06Pei continues to follow Yang,

00:10:07so he becomes upset,

00:10:09asking Pei what he wants.

00:10:11He mentions that he wants Yang,

00:10:12so everyone gets the wrong idea,

00:10:14and he tries to run away,

00:10:16but Pei stops him,

00:10:17saying he needs help developing a game.

00:10:20But Yang is against this,

00:10:21thinking they won't succeed,

00:10:23and he's about to walk away.

00:10:25But Pei reveals that he has already made 300,000 yuan,

00:10:28because he's the creator of Lonely Desert Road.

00:10:31Yang is surprised to hear this,

00:10:33calling him a genius,

00:10:35and Yang agrees to work with him,

00:10:36saying he will find books about the topic.

00:10:39Back in the dorm,

00:10:40we see that Yang bought books about programming,

00:10:43and Pei thinks they're going to fail,

00:10:45because he isn't being practical.

00:10:47Pei reminds him that they don't need to write codes,

00:10:49because they already have the online platform

00:10:51to make the job easier,

00:10:53so Yang wonders what he should do with the books.

00:10:56He tries reading them anyways,

00:10:58but he immediately falls asleep,

00:10:59and Pei is happy to see this,

00:11:01thinking his plan is going to work.

00:11:03The next day,

00:11:04Pei thinks about the game they should make,

00:11:07knowing his company is popular because of a driving game.

00:11:10So he needs to think of something different,

00:11:12because people will download the game

00:11:14if it's similar to Lonely Desert Road.

00:11:16He considers spending all of his funds

00:11:18to create a bigger game,

00:11:19and intentionally fail to launch it,

00:11:21but Richie warns him that he will receive a penalty,

00:11:24so he ultimately decides against it.

00:11:27He realizes that mobile players

00:11:28aren't familiar with his company,

00:11:30so he plans to create a mobile game.

00:11:33He knows that card games are popular,

00:11:35but most of them fail,

00:11:36because they try to copy the number one game

00:11:38called The Three Kingdoms,

00:11:40instead of coming up with a new idea.

00:11:42So he decides to make the worst card game in the world,

00:11:45telling Yang that they're going to hire artists

00:11:47to help them with the design.

00:11:49Yang tells him that there's a cheaper way

00:11:51to do it,

00:11:52but he's determined to lose all of his money,

00:11:54so he tells Yang that he's going to invest

00:11:56everything he has,

00:11:57to create the best card game possible.

00:12:00They eat at a restaurant,

00:12:01as Pei tells Yang to rewrite the stories

00:12:03of the characters,

00:12:04but he becomes worried,

00:12:06thinking it's going to ruin the game.

00:12:08But Pei tells him that they must not be afraid

00:12:10to innovate,

00:12:11saying he should let his imagination run wild.

00:12:14He thinks about turning the characters

00:12:15into strange creatures,

00:12:17and Pei calls him a genius.

00:12:19He decides to hire Yang,

00:12:21telling him that he will receive

00:12:223,000 yuan per month,

00:12:24and he's overjoyed to hear this.

00:12:26Meanwhile,

00:12:27Li's new assistant tells him

00:12:28that Three Kingdoms is losing players,

00:12:31because it's difficult to obtain rare cards.

00:12:34But he explains that the game won't be addictive

00:12:36if they change this,

00:12:37saying card games are on the decline,

00:12:39so they should just let it be.

00:12:41Li's assistant confirms this,

00:12:43and he mentions that Pei's company

00:12:44is planning to copy Three Kingdoms,

00:12:47saying there's no creativity whatsoever.

00:12:49But Li reveals that he was the one

00:12:51who picked the theme for their game,

00:12:53thinking his assistant is questioning his creativity,

00:12:56so he decides to fire him.

00:12:58We return to Pei,

00:12:59as he laughs at Yang's ideas,

00:13:01thinking their game is going to be ridiculous.

00:13:03He checks his laptop,

00:13:05wanting to hire a rookie artist

00:13:06to create ugly designs,

00:13:08and he finds someone interesting,

00:13:10thinking he's going to help them fail.

00:13:11The next day,

00:13:13Yang suggests turning the characters into girls,

00:13:16but Pei rejects the idea,

00:13:18thinking it could make their game successful.

00:13:20So he explains that he doesn't want the characters

00:13:22to lose their uniqueness,

00:13:24and Yang believes him,

00:13:25as he notes that Yang is an idiot.

00:13:27They ride a boat,

00:13:28as Pei tells Yang that they must prioritize

00:13:30the concept design,

00:13:32so he suggests hiring a great artist,

00:13:34but Pei is against this,

00:13:36because he doesn't want them to succeed.

00:13:38He believes that Pei doesn't want the artist

00:13:40to steal the spotlight,

00:13:41thinking Pei wants him to shine,

00:13:43so he mentions that they should prioritize

00:13:45gameplay over design.

00:13:47He offers to do the drawing,

00:13:49but Pei is against this,

00:13:50because he wants to waste money on a rookie artist.

00:13:53They have a heated argument,

00:13:55but the boat becomes unstable,

00:13:56causing it to capsize,

00:13:58as they realize that their guide is drowning.

00:14:00So they decide to save him,

00:14:02but he tells them to leave,

00:14:04blaming them for what happened.

00:14:05Pei tells Yang about the artist he found,

00:14:07and we see that he draws chibi characters.

00:14:11Pei convinces Yang that hiring him

00:14:12would be a good idea,

00:14:14saying it will create a unique style

00:14:15that will make their game stand out.

00:14:17Yang asks for his contact details,

00:14:20so Pei reveals that his name is Jin,

00:14:22and they decide to have a meeting with him.

00:14:24During the video call,

00:14:26Yang tells Jin about their plan,

00:14:27as Pei explains that they need him

00:14:29to design the 50 characters in the game,

00:14:31saying he can have full artistic freedom,

00:14:34but they don't want him to draw chibis.

00:14:35He wonders why they want to hire him,

00:14:38because he specializes in drawing chibis,

00:14:40so Pei tells him that they see potential in him.

00:14:43He agrees to do it,

00:14:44but he mentions that his price is 2,000 yuan

00:14:47for each character.

00:14:49Yang becomes upset,

00:14:50thinking it's too expensive,

00:14:52but Pei tells him that the price is too low,

00:14:54saying they're willing to pay him 3,500 yuan

00:14:57for his unique art style.

00:14:59He's surprised to hear this,

00:15:01thinking it's more than enough,

00:15:02but Richie warns Pei that unreasonably increasing the price

00:15:05is against the rules.

00:15:07So he tells Jin that it will include the amendment fees,

00:15:10and Jin agrees to this,

00:15:11as Richie withdraws the warning,

00:15:13thinking the price is reasonable.

00:15:15But we learn that he doesn't plan to ask for amendments.

00:15:18He tells Jin that he can do whatever he wants

00:15:20with the art style,

00:15:22because they believe in him,

00:15:23saying he has two weeks to complete the task.

00:15:26After the meeting,

00:15:27Yang comments that he doesn't like Jin,

00:15:29because he has a bad attitude,

00:15:30but Pei explains that he could be an introvert.

00:15:34Pei tells Yang to handle the art designs,

00:15:36while he works on the gameplay,

00:15:38saying they will be busy in the coming days.

00:15:40But we learn that he ordered Yang to monitor Jin,

00:15:43because he wants the drawing to be as ugly as possible,

00:15:46thinking they won't work well together.

00:15:48He thinks about making the players hate the game,

00:15:50by making it cost 10 yuan,

00:15:52which is two times the price of the three kingdoms.

00:15:55And he considers setting up a lifelong membership

00:15:58that gives them unlimited draws,

00:16:00thinking the players will get bored,

00:16:01because he knows that they enjoy grinding

00:16:03to obtain rare cards.

00:16:05He searches for the worst template he can find,

00:16:08and he sees a failed project from another company,

00:16:11which tried to copy the three kingdoms.

00:16:13He realizes that it looks horrible,

00:16:15thinking nobody would want to play it,

00:16:17so he decides to buy it.

00:16:19We cut to Jin,

00:16:20as he meets up with his team,

00:16:22telling them about the job,

00:16:23but they think the game is going to suck,

00:16:25because the character descriptions don't make sense.

00:16:28They consider abandoning the project,

00:16:30thinking the job is a scam,

00:16:32but Jin tells them that the client

00:16:34has already paid the deposit.

00:16:36He mentions that they have full artistic freedom,

00:16:38thinking this is their chance

00:16:40to make a name for themselves,

00:16:41so everyone decides to give it their best shot.

00:16:44He suggests sticking to the style he invented,

00:16:47thinking it's going to make the characters shine,

00:16:49but they explain that they aren't familiar with it.

00:16:51So he tells them that he will handle the designs,

00:16:54and they can add the finishing touches,

00:16:56saying they must come up with the best result possible.

00:16:59They start working on the project,

00:17:01giving it everything they have,

00:17:03and they're able to finish it before the deadline.

00:17:05We return to the dorm,

00:17:07as Yang realizes that Jin has already finished the designs,

00:17:10asking Pei if he wants to see it.

00:17:12But he doesn't care,

00:17:14telling Yang to put it into the game

00:17:15if he has no issues with it.

00:17:17He wonders what they should name the project,

00:17:19so Pei tells him that they should call it

00:17:21the Phantom General,

00:17:22and he goes to sleep.

00:17:24The next day,

00:17:25Yang tells Pei that he didn't find any bugs in the game,

00:17:28wondering if they should release it.

00:17:30Pei realizes that it's the launch date,

00:17:32so he tells Yang to upload it,

00:17:34saying they should market it as an ordinary card game.

00:17:37Yang thinks he's trying to use reverse psychology,

00:17:39but he doesn't really care,

00:17:41and he just wants to lose all of his money

00:17:43to make as much profit as possible.

00:17:45We see Yang getting beat up by his roommates,

00:17:48because they lost another game,

00:17:50and they blame him for the result,

00:17:51calling him useless.

00:17:53Pei suddenly arrives,

00:17:55pulling him away,

00:17:56and asks him why the concept design of the game is so detailed.

00:17:59Pei accuses him of stealing the design from others,

00:18:02but he explains that Jin created it,

00:18:04and Pei is surprised to hear this,

00:18:06because he thought that Jin is a terrible artist.

00:18:09Yang is happy with the design,

00:18:11but Pei becomes upset,

00:18:13saying it looks excellent,

00:18:14but Yang wonders why he's complaining,

00:18:16because Jin did a great job.

00:18:18He claims that it's because he's underpaying Jin,

00:18:21but we learn that it's because he wanted Jin to make ugly designs,

00:18:24so that his game would fail.

00:18:26Yang leaves him,

00:18:27wondering what's wrong with him,

00:18:28and he reveals that he regrets hiring Jin,

00:18:31thinking his game is going to become successful,

00:18:33because of the brilliant design.

00:18:35But he thinks about the other games that flopped,

00:18:38realizing that they also have beautiful designs,

00:18:41so he thinks his game can still fail.

00:18:43Later that day,

00:18:44Yang tells Pei that 100 users have downloaded the Phantom General,

00:18:48but he realizes that they all left negative reviews.

00:18:52Pei is happy to hear this,

00:18:53thinking the game is going to fail,

00:18:55but Yang thinks that someone hired trolls to attack them.

00:18:58Pei pretends that it's bothering him,

00:19:00but he's grateful to the trolls,

00:19:02and Yang thinks about responding to their reviews.

00:19:05But Pei tells him to forget it,

00:19:06saying it isn't worth it,

00:19:08because there's too many of them,

00:19:09and Yang thinks he's a great person,

00:19:11because he's able to maintain his composure despite what's happening.

00:19:15After some time,

00:19:16we see Yang playing the Lonely Desert Road,

00:19:19and he has a conversation with Jin,

00:19:21who wonders if they have issues with the design.

00:19:23He tells Jin that he did an amazing job,

00:19:26and they start talking about the game,

00:19:28as Jin's friends approach him,

00:19:30saying they're lucky to have such a kind-hearted client,

00:19:32because they were paid more than enough.

00:19:34He checks the game,

00:19:36and he sees that it isn't performing well,

00:19:38wondering why they haven't seen ads about it.

00:19:40He realizes that it was made by the same company which created Lonely Desert Road,

00:19:45and his friends are surprised to hear this,

00:19:47because everyone knows about the game.

00:19:49They wonder why the Phantom General didn't go through a testing period,

00:19:53thinking the company doesn't know what it's doing,

00:19:55and Jin decides to play the game.

00:19:57He notes that the gameplay is basic,

00:20:00and he's astonished by his own design,

00:20:02thinking it's making the game stand out.

00:20:04He realizes that special effects were added to his artwork,

00:20:07and he's happy to see this,

00:20:09because he thinks it looks perfect.

00:20:11He's able to obtain rare cards,

00:20:13and he continues to play the game,

00:20:15but he notices something strange.

00:20:17So he decides to call Yang,

00:20:19asking him why there's only one item for sale,

00:20:21and it's an extremely cheap lifelong membership.

00:20:24He wonders if they will be adding more items to the game's shop,

00:20:27but Yang reveals that they won't,

00:20:29because Pei wants the players to enjoy the game.

00:20:32Jin is surprised to hear this,

00:20:34thinking the company can't make profit,

00:20:36because the item only costs 30 yuan.

00:20:39But Yang explains that Pei doesn't prioritize making profits,

00:20:42and Jin thinks he's a great person,

00:20:44saying he doesn't want Pei to fail.

00:20:46Yang starts crying,

00:20:48telling him that Pei spent all of his money in the game,

00:20:50so he's already broke,

00:20:52thinking this is the reason why he's been acting strange lately.

00:20:55So Jin wants to help,

00:20:56and he ends the call,

00:20:58but we learn that Yang was just pretending to be sad.

00:21:01Jin meets up with his team,

00:21:02and they're surprised to learn that Pei doesn't prioritize making profits.

00:21:06They think he's amazing,

00:21:08because he's nothing like the other game developers

00:21:10who only think about money,

00:21:12so they decide to help him.

00:21:13We return to Pei,

00:21:15who thinks his game has already failed,

00:21:17so he starts thinking about the 300,000 yuan he's going to receive,

00:21:21but Yang suddenly clings to him,

00:21:23telling him that their game has gone viral.

00:21:26He's surprised to hear this,

00:21:27wondering how the players learned about the game,

00:21:30because he didn't spend money on marketing.

00:21:32He checks his phone,

00:21:34and he realizes that the game has been flooded with positive reviews,

00:21:37so he wonders why it's performing well.

00:21:40He realizes that the customers like the concept design,

00:21:43so he decides to call Jin,

00:21:45asking him if he promoted the game on the internet.

00:21:47We learn that Jin shared it with other artists,

00:21:50who thought his designs are impressive,

00:21:52and he's surprised that the experts loved his artwork,

00:21:55but he wants to help advertise the game.

00:21:57His friends wonder why he wants to do this,

00:22:00knowing he hates socializing with people,

00:22:02so he tells them that he wants Pei to succeed,

00:22:05because he's an amazing person.

00:22:07So Jin tells everyone about the game,

00:22:09telling them that it was created by a kind-hearted person,

00:22:12so they decide to support it,

00:22:14leaving positive reviews,

00:22:15and causing it to go viral.

00:22:17Pei wonders why he did this,

00:22:19because he wasn't paid to advertise the game,

00:22:21but he explains that he really wants Pei to succeed.

00:22:24He becomes sad, realizing that he's going to earn less,

00:22:28but he thanks Jin for helping him anyway.

00:22:30Jin feels good,

00:22:31thinking Pei is really happy because his game is successful,

00:22:35but Yang thinks about the negative reviews,

00:22:37wondering who hired the internet trolls.

00:22:39We cut to Li,

00:22:41as his new assistant informs him

00:22:42that the Phantom General is about to surpass the Three Kingdoms.

00:22:46We learn that he was the one who hired the internet trolls,

00:22:49and Li thinks that Pei chose to copy the Three Kingdoms,

00:22:52because he wants to prove that he's better than Li.

00:22:55He thinks he's being targeted,

00:22:57so he wants to acquire Pei's company,

00:22:59saying it's time to proceed with their plan.

00:23:01We see Pei in the restroom,

00:23:03making sure that no one is watching him,

00:23:05and he calls the customer service representative,

00:23:08telling her that he wants his game to be removed from the recommended list.

00:23:12She explains that this is a strange request,

00:23:14saying she needs to talk to her superiors,

00:23:17but Richie suddenly appears,

00:23:19telling him he's breaking the rules,

00:23:20so he ends the call.

00:23:22Pei becomes sad,

00:23:23and he starts walking around,

00:23:25but a screen appears on the ground,

00:23:27as he realizes that the closing date has arrived.

00:23:30Richie appears,

00:23:31and it starts tallying,

00:23:33revealing that Pei made a net income of over 500,000.

00:23:37So he falls into despair,

00:23:38wondering why the game is so profitable,

00:23:41because it was made to flop,

00:23:42and Richie tells him he's going to earn 5,000 yuan,

00:23:45because of the conversion rate.

00:23:47Richie reveals that the next closing date will arrive in 90 days,

00:23:51and he thinks about how profitable his games have become,

00:23:54realizing that he's struggling to lose money.

00:23:57He hates Richie for increasing the starting fund,

00:23:59but Richie tells him that he already has enough for the next round,

00:24:03so they won't be increasing it.

00:24:05At that moment, he receives an additional 1,000 yuan,

00:24:08as Richie reminds him that his games are still earning money.

00:24:12We return to Lee,

00:24:13as he tells his assistant that Pei's company has grabbed his attention,

00:24:16so he's willing to spend money to acquire it.

00:24:20Pei is watching a soccer game,

00:24:21when he suddenly receives a call from Yang,

00:24:24who tells him that Lee wants to buy their company.

00:24:26So he becomes overjoyed,

00:24:28thinking about accepting it,

00:24:30but he receives a warning,

00:24:31because he isn't allowed to sell his company,

00:24:33so he's forced to reject the offer.

00:24:36But Yang tells him that Lee is offering millions of yuan to buy their company,

00:24:39and he becomes devastated,

00:24:41but he still tells Yang to refuse it.

00:24:44Lee offers to invest in their company,

00:24:45but Pei explains that he doesn't need it,

00:24:48because he has more than enough money at his disposal,

00:24:50asking Yang if he can invest in Lee's company instead.

00:24:54Lee learns about this,

00:24:55so he becomes upset,

00:24:57thinking Pei is trying to humiliate him,

00:24:59and he starts seeing Pei as his rival.

00:25:01We see Pei and Yang eating in a restaurant,

00:25:04as Yang wonders why Pei isn't in the mood,

00:25:06reminding him that his games are profitable.

00:25:09He refuses to talk about it,

00:25:11but we learn that it's because his games have earned 6 million yuan,

00:25:14wondering how he can spend all of it in 3 months.

00:25:17Yang says he's going to pay the bills,

00:25:19and he calls the waitress,

00:25:21as Pei realizes that Yang is richer than him.

00:25:24Yang is surprised to see the bill,

00:25:26thinking it's too expensive,

00:25:27so he asks Pei if he can get reimbursed for the meal,

00:25:30and Pei comes up with an idea.

00:25:32So he tells Yang to wait for him,

00:25:34and he leaves the restaurant.

00:25:36Pei calls Richie,

00:25:37wondering if he can file the meal as a company team building exercise,

00:25:41and Richie tells him that he can,

00:25:43because it doesn't go against the rules.

00:25:45So he becomes happy,

00:25:47wondering if he can also file a claim for his daily expenses,

00:25:50but Richie tells him it's prohibited.

00:25:52He returns to Yang,

00:25:54saying he's going to pay for the meal,

00:25:56and they watch the news,

00:25:57as the reporter announces that a new integrated system has been invented.

00:26:01Yang realizes that the technology is advancing,

00:26:04thinking they should make a more complex game in the future,

00:26:07but Pei thinks they can't do it,

00:26:08because they lack the knowledge.

00:26:10But this gives him an idea,

00:26:12saying they should hire more people,

00:26:14and he becomes excited,

00:26:15thinking it will cost him a fortune to pay for them.

00:26:18He admits that he doesn't know how to run a company,

00:26:21so they think it's time to hire an assistant.

00:26:23Moments later,

00:26:24Pei suggests going to a headhunting agency to recruit someone,

00:26:28and Yang hopes that their company can become the leader in the industry.

00:26:32We see a large company called the Fiery Sky Studio,

00:26:34as its producer Joe, checks the performance of the employees.

00:26:39He realizes that an employee named Lynn is about to be laid off,

00:26:42but he calls his subordinate,

00:26:44saying she should be allowed to stay in the company.

00:26:47At that moment, Lynn enters the room,

00:26:49telling him that she wants to resign,

00:26:51so he becomes sad,

00:26:52wondering why she's doing this.

00:26:54She explains that she wants to achieve her dreams,

00:26:57and the company isn't the right place for her,

00:26:59but she thanks him for looking after her.

00:27:01After she leaves,

00:27:03he calls his client,

00:27:04saying he just completed his task,

00:27:06and he assures his client that Lynn will stop dreaming of making games.

00:27:11We see Pei and Yang in a headhunting agency,

00:27:13as they meet a man named Lawrence,

00:27:15saying they want to hire someone.

00:27:17But he thinks they are worth his time,

00:27:19telling them that his services are expensive.

00:27:22But Pei reveals that he's willing to pay his assistant 400,000 yuan a year,

00:27:26so Lawrence immediately decides to entertain them.

00:27:29He starts asking for the details,

00:27:32and Pei explains that he wants a female secretary who can help him with trivial matters,

00:27:36because he wants someone pretty to brighten up his mood.

00:27:39Lawrence shows him the resume of a girl named Lulu,

00:27:42saying she has an impressive background,

00:27:44but Yang wonders why she left her job.

00:27:47So Lawrence explains that she doesn't want to work under a man,

00:27:50but he thinks that she will agree to work with Pei,

00:27:53because he's nothing like her past employers,

00:27:55and he immediately decides to hire her.

00:27:57As they're about to leave the building,

00:28:00they see Lynn watching news about the Phantom General,

00:28:02but Pei tells her that the game is trash.

00:28:05So she becomes upset,

00:28:07saying it wasn't created for profit,

00:28:09as she mentions that it's a good game.

00:28:11He explains that the design is terrible,

00:28:13but she tells him that he knows nothing.

00:28:16Pei leaves the building,

00:28:17and Lawrence asks Lynn if she's looking for a job,

00:28:20so she tells him that she wants to work for the company that created the Phantom General.

00:28:24He tells her that Pei is the owner of the company,

00:28:26so she immediately runs after him,

00:28:29but she isn't able to catch up to him,

00:28:31and she realizes she just missed her chance to land her dream job.

00:28:35We see Pei waiting in a cafe,

00:28:37and Lulu approaches him for her interview,

00:28:39so he tells her to take a seat.

00:28:41She reveals that Lawrence already told her about his company,

00:28:45saying she's impressed that he was able to achieve something as a startup,

00:28:48thinking he's a capable young man.

00:28:50She thinks she's the best candidate for the job,

00:28:53and she starts bragging about her skill set,

00:28:55asking him if he has any questions.

00:28:58But he realizes that he's supposed to be the one giving the interview,

00:29:01because she's going to be working for him.

00:29:03So he explains that he's satisfied with her qualifications,

00:29:07telling her that she should only give him advice when he asks for her help.

00:29:11She accepts his terms,

00:29:12saying she can start working immediately,

00:29:15but he tells her that he doesn't have an office yet,

00:29:17which surprises her.

00:29:18So they visit a tower,

00:29:20where they are shown around,

00:29:22and told that they can rent it out.

00:29:24Pei asks Lulu if it's the most expensive office building in the city,

00:29:27and she confirms this,

00:29:29so he tells the man that he wants to rent the entire floor,

00:29:32and the agent is excited about this,

00:29:34calling him a generous person.

00:29:36Lulu reveals that the area is about 3,000 square meters,

00:29:40and the price for renting it is 360,000 yuan per month.

00:29:44But the man explains that he can have it for a cheaper price if he rents the entire floor,

00:29:49saying he won't find a better deal in the city.

00:29:52But he thinks it's too cheap,

00:29:53and the agent is surprised.

00:29:55But Pei tells him that life isn't easy,

00:29:57so he shouldn't lower his price to satisfy his customers.

00:30:01We learn that Pei is thinking about the Phantom General,

00:30:04because it's still selling like hotcakes,

00:30:06so he wants to get rid of as much of his profits.

00:30:09The man is overjoyed to hear this,

00:30:11and Pei tells him to draft the contract,

00:30:13as he thinks about how much he has spent for the first month,

00:30:16thinking his move is brilliant.

00:30:18Moments later,

00:30:19Lulu tells Pei that the rental procedure has been completed,

00:30:22so they need to purchase the office supplies.

00:30:25She shows him the list of items they need to buy,

00:30:28but he tells her that they need to promote a good working environment for the team,

00:30:32saying the items are too cheap.

00:30:33She asks him about their budget,

00:30:35so he tells her that he's willing to spend 2,000,000 yuan,

00:30:38but Richie warns him that he's going against the rules,

00:30:41so he lowers it to 800,000 instead.

00:30:44Lulu thinks it's more than enough,

00:30:46and he tells her to buy the best office supplies she can find,

00:30:49saying they need to give their employees the best experience possible.

00:30:53But she asks him about his office,

00:30:55so he tells her to spare no cost,

00:30:57and she decides to rent a unit for him,

00:30:59giving him the keycard to access it.

00:31:02He realizes that this is a great idea,

00:31:04because he won't be able to return to his dorm if he works overtime,

00:31:07and Richie thinks this is reasonable,

00:31:10so he starts relaxing in his unit.

00:31:12Lulu shows him the recruitment policy,

00:31:14but he thinks it's too strict,

00:31:16telling her to change it,

00:31:17because he wants to attract the most useless employees in the world.

00:31:21But she warns him that they could end up hiring people who can't make games,

00:31:25and he realizes that his plan is flawed,

00:31:27because he'll be going against the rules if the employees can't produce a game,

00:31:31so he tells her that he's going to hire the game developers himself.

00:31:35But she advises him to change the way he looks,

00:31:38and he asks her if he can file a claim for his clothes,

00:31:41so she explains that he can,

00:31:43saying a proper suit is necessary for business meetings.

00:31:46So he decides to buy the most expensive suits he can find,

00:31:50and he realizes that he's doing great,

00:31:52thinking he's going to lose all of his money at this rate.

00:31:55He decides to hire another person without talent,

00:31:58and he thinks about hiring the laziest person in his school.

00:32:01He goes to a computer shop,

00:32:04where we see a boy named Bell,

00:32:05who is a gaming addict,

00:32:07and we learn that he was expelled from his school

00:32:09because of his poor academic performance.

00:32:12Pei thinks it's reasonable to recruit a veteran gamer,

00:32:14so he approaches Bell,

00:32:16saying he wants to hire him as a game designer,

00:32:18and Bell looks at him,

00:32:20thinking he's a scammer,

00:32:21so Bell tells him to go away.

00:32:23But he gives Bell money,

00:32:25saying he can have it as a salary advance,

00:32:27and this makes him interested.

00:32:28Pei tells him that they have excellent computers in the company,

00:32:32saying he can play there during his free time.

00:32:35But Bell reveals that he doesn't know how to develop games,

00:32:38so Pei explains that he has faith in Bell's gaming experience,

00:32:41asking him if he wants to develop the greatest game in the world.

00:32:45Bell accepts his offer,

00:32:46so he tells Bell to report in two days,

00:32:49and he becomes overjoyed,

00:32:50because he always wanted to be a game developer.

00:32:53The next day,

00:32:54Pei meets a man named Hong,

00:32:55who is practicing for the interview,

00:32:58so Pei approaches him,

00:32:59asking him if he's going to apply for the company.

00:33:02Pei pretends that he's also an applicant,

00:33:04asking Hong why he's late for the interview,

00:33:06so he reveals that he's currently employed,

00:33:09and he thought about applying during his lunch break,

00:33:11because he isn't happy with his job.

00:33:14The elevator opens,

00:33:15and he meets his superior named Liu,

00:33:17who thinks he isn't going to make it,

00:33:19because Pei's company has strict requirements.

00:33:22He enters the elevator with Pei,

00:33:23and they start talking about Liu,

00:33:25so Bell reveals that he's the lead game designer,

00:33:28thinking his background is impressive,

00:33:30so Bell thinks he isn't going to get the job.

00:33:33But as they reach the office,

00:33:34the employees greet Pei,

00:33:36causing Bell to become surprised,

00:33:38and he starts interviewing Bell,

00:33:40revealing that he's the CEO of the company.

00:33:43He tells Bell that he's the person they're looking for,

00:33:45asking him about his expected salary,

00:33:47so he explains that he isn't getting paid much,

00:33:50saying 2,000 yuan per month should be enough.

00:33:52But Pei reminds him that the cost of living is expensive,

00:33:56explaining that 2,000 yuan isn't enough to cover his expenses.

00:34:00So Pei offers to pay him double that amount,

00:34:03and he's overjoyed to hear this,

00:34:04saying he will sacrifice everything for the company.

00:34:08Later that day,

00:34:09Lulu approaches him,

00:34:10telling him that a girl wants to see him,

00:34:12and we see that it's Len,

00:34:13as she asks him if his goal is to make money.

00:34:16But he denies this,

00:34:17so she thinks he's perfect,

00:34:19thinking he's doing this for passion,

00:34:21and he asks Lulu about her,

00:34:23so she reveals that she was a terrible employee at her last company,

00:34:26but this makes him decide to hire her.

00:34:29Back in the dorm,

00:34:30Pei's roommates wonder where he is,

00:34:32because they haven't seen him for days.

00:34:34They ask Yang if he's going to return,

00:34:36and Yang tells them he's working,

00:34:38so he must have rented a place outside.

00:34:41We see Huang working in Pei's company,

00:34:43but he wonders why they aren't doing anything productive,

00:34:46because they're getting paid to play video games.

00:34:48Everyone starts questioning Pei's goals,

00:34:51so Lin explains that he wants them to keep playing,

00:34:54so that they can identify the problems in video games.

00:34:57Huang realizes that Bao has reached the max level in the games they're playing,

00:35:01and he thinks this is what Pei wants them to do.

00:35:03But Lin thinks he wants them to feel guilty,

00:35:06so that they will work harder when the next task arrives.

00:35:09Everyone wonders where Pei is,

00:35:11because he never shows up in the office,

00:35:13and we see him sitting on his couch,

00:35:15realizing that it will be difficult to control his employees.

00:35:18He's worried that his next game isn't going to flop,

00:35:21but he sees an action movie,

00:35:23and he comes up with an idea.

00:35:25The bell rings,

00:35:26and everyone's ordered to go home,

00:35:28but they wonder why they aren't doing anything for the company.

00:35:31At that moment,

00:35:32Pei appears,

00:35:33saying he's been absent,

00:35:34because he's been thinking about the company's future.

00:35:37He informs everyone that they're going to be working on a first-person shooter,

00:35:41saying their goal is to become a leader in the gaming industry.

00:35:45Everyone starts doubting themselves,

00:35:47but he explains that he rejected the experts,

00:35:49and picked them as the members in his team,

00:35:51because he believes in their creativity.

00:35:54He tells them that they're the future of the gaming industry,

00:35:57saying Huang is a hidden gem,

00:35:59because he performs his work diligently,

00:36:01and Bell is the master of games,

00:36:03because his gaming skills are unrivaled.

00:36:05Pei thinks their team is invincible,

00:36:07saying they're going to make a great game,

00:36:09and he explains that he's going to give general directions in the early stages,

00:36:13saying he will leave everything to Bao and Huang.

00:36:16They head to the meeting room,

00:36:17where Pei gives Bao and Huang instructions,

00:36:20saying the game needs to have beginner-friendly controls,

00:36:23and the story needs to be incredibly long.

00:36:25He adds that the weapons must look cool,

00:36:28so that the players will want to buy them,

00:36:29and he ends the meeting,

00:36:31thinking his demands are going to ruin the game.

00:36:33But Huang thinks the players will complain if the controls are too simple,

00:36:37and the story won't be interesting if they don't keep it short.

00:36:40He adds that their company's reputation will be affected,

00:36:43because they started a trend of zero in-game purchases,

00:36:46but they're going against it by listing guns for sale.

00:36:50Pei knows he has a point,

00:36:51but he tells Huang to believe in himself,

00:36:53saying he can overcome the problems.

00:36:55Pei appoints Huang as the lead designer,

00:36:58and Bell as the game moderator,

00:37:00saying they need to come up with a draft in one week.

00:37:03After the meeting,

00:37:04Pei celebrates,

00:37:05thinking his game is going to fail,

00:37:07and he realizes that it's time to go home.

00:37:09So he leaves the office,

00:37:11and he sees Bao playing a game,

00:37:13bidding him farewell.

00:37:14We learn that he's the only employee allowed to work overtime,

00:37:17but Huang thanks Bao for helping him hide,

00:37:20saying he wants to do his best for the company,

00:37:22so he decides to work overtime.

00:37:24They discuss the project,

00:37:26as Bao mentions that Pei was able to achieve the best results with minimum resources,

00:37:31thinking they should follow his example.

00:37:33Bao thinks about spending money only on the important features of the game,

00:37:36and they enter Bao's imagination,

00:37:39as he explains that he wants the game to start on the ocean,

00:37:42where the players are going to find an abandoned oil platform.

00:37:45Huang asks him about the enemies,

00:37:47and at that moment,

00:37:48a mummy suddenly attacks them,

00:37:50so Bao saves him,

00:37:51and the mummy falls off the platform.

00:37:53Countless mummies appear,

00:37:55as Bao explains that their model design is simple,

00:37:58because they're wrapped in bandages.

00:38:00Bao shoots one of them,

00:38:01causing it to burn away,

00:38:03but they realize that they're about to get surrounded,

00:38:05so they start running away,

00:38:07as Bao explains that they don't need to simplify the controls,

00:38:10because they can just make the mummies easier to destroy.

00:38:13But he runs out of bullets,

00:38:15so they decide to retreat,

00:38:16climbing up a ladder,

00:38:17and they reach a safe spot,

00:38:19where they discuss the story mode.

00:38:21Bao thinks they need to add an important side character,

00:38:24and a girl appears,

00:38:25so Huang tries talking to her,

00:38:27but Bao reveals that she can't speak,

00:38:29because creating a speaking character is expensive.

00:38:32He explains that she'll be giving quests through her movements,

00:38:35and she leads Huang to a corner,

00:38:37where he encounters a mummy,

00:38:39so he runs away,

00:38:40and Bao knocks it down.

00:38:42But mummies swarm the area,

00:38:43so the girl gives Huang a rifle,

00:38:45and he uses it to defend himself.

00:38:47Bao arrives in a helicopter,

00:38:49and he helps them escape,

00:38:50saying the players will be invested in the story,

00:38:53if they establish a bond with the characters.

00:38:55They return to reality,

00:38:57as Huang mentions that Bao is a genius,

00:38:59but he thinks Pei is smarter than him,

00:39:01thinking he didn't say anything about the game,

00:39:04because he wanted them to have fun creating it.

00:39:06Huang shares Bao's opinion,

00:39:08and they think he's an amazing person,

00:39:10calling him a visionary.

00:39:12They wonder what he meant by cool weapons,

00:39:14and they think he wants them to add a legendary weapon into the game.

00:39:18They continue working all night,

00:39:19and the next day,

00:39:21Huang tells Bao that their game is going to be amazing,

00:39:23saying he will do his best to make it perfect.

00:39:26But at that moment,

00:39:27Yang arrives,

00:39:28greeting Bao,

00:39:29but he's surprised to see Huang,

00:39:31realizing that he broke the rules.

00:39:34That evening,

00:39:35Huang sneaks into the office,

00:39:36and he starts working overtime,

00:39:38but Bao tells him there's no need to rush the project,

00:39:41so he doesn't need to do this every day.

00:39:43But he explains that Pei didn't give them enough time to test the game,

00:39:47so he needs to go beyond his schedule.

00:39:49He tells Bao that his proposal is almost done,

00:39:52and he shows it to Bao,

00:39:53asking for his opinion,

00:39:55but he starts speaking in gibberish,

00:39:56and Huang has no idea what he's saying.

00:39:59He gives Huang his suggestions,

00:40:01but we see Yang watching them,

00:40:03and he thinks about reporting them to Pei.

00:40:05The next day,

00:40:06we see Pei and Yang in their classroom,

00:40:08and Pei receives a message from Huang,

00:40:10who tells him that the game design's framework is complete.

00:40:14But he can't believe his employees are working so fast,

00:40:17wondering why they aren't slacking off,

00:40:19because he's giving them every reason to be lazy.

00:40:22Yang tells him that Huang has been working overtime in secret,

00:40:25and Pei thinks this is a problem.

00:40:27So he thinks about confronting Huang,

00:40:29but Yang tells him that Huang was just playing games during his overtime,

00:40:33so Pei changes his mind,

00:40:35realizing that Huang wasn't doing anything productive.

00:40:38He looks through Huang's proposal,

00:40:40telling him he's doing a great job,

00:40:42and Pei tells Yang to ignore his behavior,

00:40:44saying he isn't doing anything wrong,

00:40:46because game developers are required to do research by playing games.

00:40:50We return to the office,

00:40:52as Huang tells everyone that the proposal has been approved,

00:40:55so they celebrate,

00:40:56and they immediately start working on the project.

00:40:59We see Pei taking a bath,

00:41:01as he realizes that he's still earning money with his past games,

00:41:04so he becomes frustrated,

00:41:06wondering how he's supposed to spend all of it.

00:41:09Yang visits him,

00:41:10telling him that all of his employees are going overtime to play games,

00:41:13because Huang inspired them with his behavior.

00:41:16Yang thinks Pei shouldn't tolerate this,

00:41:18but he decides to spend money on them,

00:41:21telling Yang that they're sacrificing their health for the company,

00:41:24so they need to be paid for working overtime.

00:41:26Yang thinks he's an amazing person,

00:41:28but he explains that he's just giving them what they deserve,

00:41:31and he thinks they need to be treated better,

00:41:33so he comes up with an idea.

00:41:35The next day,

00:41:36Huang reports to Pei,

00:41:38giving him the project proposal,

00:41:40but he realizes it's going to take ages to go through it,

00:41:43so he tells Huang to take care of everything,

00:41:45but he tells Pei that he still needs to decide

00:41:48on the title of the game,

00:41:49and at that moment,

00:41:50he hears his employees ordering food,

00:41:52but he tells Huang to stop them.

00:41:55We see that Pei has prepared food for everyone,

00:41:57and Yang explains that Pei is going to provide them

00:42:00with free meals while they're working.

00:42:02Lulu reveals that the company's gym is still under renovation,

00:42:05but they have already hired professional trainers,

00:42:08so everyone feels excited.

00:42:10Huang approaches Lin,

00:42:11telling her he doesn't understand Pei,

00:42:13because his kindness is unreal,

00:42:15but she believes he's doing this to boost their efficiency,

00:42:18and Huang thinks they should repay his kindness by working harder.

00:42:22They suddenly receive notifications,

00:42:24and they can't believe they have been paid for working overtime.

00:42:28Lin talks to Pei,

00:42:29who tells her that the rules have changed,

00:42:31saying everyone is now allowed to work overtime.

00:42:34He tells her that they will be compensated for going beyond their schedule,

00:42:38but she refuses to accept the payment,

00:42:40so he asks her why she's rejecting it.

00:42:42She says she doesn't want it,

00:42:44but he explains that she deserves to be paid for working overtime,

00:42:48telling her not to turn him down,

00:42:50and she becomes flustered,

00:42:51so she ends up accepting it.

00:42:53Everyone asks her if she turned him down,

00:42:55but she says she can't do it,

00:42:57and they start crying,

00:42:58thinking they're lucky to have an incredible boss.

00:43:01Ba thinks Pei didn't give them time to test the game,

00:43:04because he believes in their capabilities,

00:43:06so they're determined not to let him down.

00:43:08Pei wonders how he's supposed to spend all of his money,

00:43:11and he shows Ba the materials they'll be buying for the project,

00:43:14asking for his opinion.

00:43:16We learn that they're going to spend 670,000 yuan for the game,

00:43:20and Ba thinks it's reasonable,

00:43:22saying it should be enough to cover everything they need.

00:43:25But Pei tells him they shouldn't cut costs,

00:43:27reminding him about his dream to create the perfect game,

00:43:30and he realizes that they need to spend more.

00:43:33Pei tells him to double the budget,

00:43:35and he suggests buying a server,

00:43:37which costs over 500,000 yuan.

00:43:39Pei thinks it's a great idea,

00:43:42and he tells Ba to focus on the game development,

00:43:45saying they can buy the server after the game is released.

00:43:48Meanwhile,

00:43:49Lee talks to Joe,

00:43:50who asks him what they should do about Pei,

00:43:52seeing him as their common enemy.

00:43:54So Lee tells Joe to acquire Pei's employees,

00:43:57thinking his company won't be able to survive without them.

00:44:00Lee's assistant tells him that Pei's employees are pathetic,

00:44:03but he's willing to do anything it takes to destroy Pei's company,

00:44:07so he decides to proceed with his plan anyway.

00:44:10We see Ba watching a video about first-person shooter games,

00:44:13but Huang interrupts him,

00:44:15saying everyone is waiting for him to approve the documents.

00:44:18They start asking him questions about the project,

00:44:21and he tries to answer all of them,

00:44:23but he ends up getting overwhelmed,

00:44:24thinking he doesn't have what it takes to be a lead developer.

00:44:27But Huang decides to help him,

00:44:29ordering everyone to do their part,

00:44:31but they suddenly get interrupted as they receive phone calls.

00:44:35One month later,

00:44:36we see Pei in his classroom,

00:44:37but Yang is absent,

00:44:39so Pei wonders where he is.

00:44:41He suddenly receives a call from Yang,

00:44:43who tells him that the Fiery Sky studio is poaching their employees,

00:44:47and he can't believe this is happening,

00:44:49so he rushes out of the class.

00:44:51Pei returns to the office,

00:44:52and he realizes that it's empty,

00:44:54thinking everyone abandoned his company,

00:44:56so he falls into despair,

00:44:58wondering how he's supposed to finish the game.

00:45:00But he sees Huang,

00:45:02and he realizes that they never left.

00:45:04Yang asks them what happened,

00:45:06so they reveal that the Fiery Sky studio tried to hire them,

00:45:09but they decided to stay,

00:45:10because they're happy in Pei's company,

00:45:12knowing they're being treated well.

00:45:14Yang tells them that the Fiery Sky studio is the legend of the industry,

00:45:18but Lin thinks Pei is better,

00:45:20and everyone agrees with her.

00:45:22Huang reveals that they were testing the game in the AV room,

00:45:25and the office is a mess,

00:45:26because they got too excited when they finished the project.

00:45:29Pei can't believe they have already completed the game,

00:45:32and they show it to him,

00:45:34revealing that it's called Project Oil Rig,

00:45:36and he can't believe his team was able to produce this,

00:45:39thinking it has great potential.

00:45:41Huang explains that they still need to polish the game,

00:45:44saying they have a month to fix everything.

00:45:46But Pei wants to stop them from working on the project,

00:45:49thinking it's a good idea to have a team building activity,

00:45:52because they'll be wasting time and money.

00:45:54So he tells everyone about his plan,

00:45:57but Lulu interrupts him,

00:45:58and Li's assistant appears.

00:46:00Everyone recognizes him,

00:46:02and Huang warns Pei that he tried to poach them,

00:46:04but he greets Pei,

00:46:05saying he learned about Pei's greatness when he talked to the others.

00:46:09He says he wants to leave Li's company to join him,

00:46:12so Pei becomes confused,

00:46:13because he thought Li's assistant was working with the Fiery Sky studio.

00:46:17But he explains that Li is behind the mess,

00:46:20saying he's doing everything in his power to bring Pei down.

00:46:22He thinks Li might be able to help him fail,

00:46:25but he notices that everyone's upset,

00:46:28so he decides to reject Li's assistant.

00:46:30We see everyone training in the gym,

00:46:32and they start talking about the team building activity,

00:46:35wondering where they're going.

00:46:37Lin mentions that she wants to visit the Fiery Sky studio,

00:46:40because she wants them to meet Pei,

00:46:42thinking he's the real deal.

00:46:44But he overhears this,

00:46:45so he decides to grant her wish,

00:46:47saying they will visit her previous employer,

00:46:49and their trip will have a budget of 450,000 yuan.

00:46:53But we learn that he's doing this to demoralize his team,

00:46:56knowing his company is no match for the Fiery Sky studio.

00:47:00Everyone has a meal together,

00:47:02as Pei tells them about the plan,

00:47:04saying the company will pay for everything.

00:47:06But he realizes that they won't be staying at a luxury hotel,

00:47:09and he asks Lulu about this,

00:47:11so she explains that Lin told her that the budget is only 150,000.

00:47:16So he realizes that Lin misheard him,

00:47:19but he decides to stick with it,

00:47:21thinking Richie might stop him if he increases the budget.

00:47:24He tells Yang to ask questions in the Fiery Sky studio,

00:47:27saying he wants to know their past mistakes,

00:47:29and Yang agrees to do it.

00:47:31We see Joe in his office,

00:47:33as his assistant approaches him,

00:47:35telling him that Pei's company has arrived to visit them.

00:47:38He doesn't want to meet Pei,

00:47:39thinking he's a fool,

00:47:41but his assistant disagrees,

00:47:42reminding Joe that he was able to create successful games,

00:47:46so Joe tells her to let him in.

00:47:48She allows Pei's group to enter,

00:47:50showing them around the company,

00:47:52and they're amazed by the facilities,

00:47:53as Pei realizes that it would cost millions of yuan to build it.

00:47:57Pei meets Joe,

00:47:58and they greet each other,

00:48:00but Joe notes that Pei is wearing an expensive suit,

00:48:02realizing that he looks capable.

00:48:04So Joe starts seeing him as a threat,

00:48:06but all he can think about is wasting money,

00:48:09thinking he should invite Joe to eat at an expensive restaurant.

00:48:13Joe offers to show him around,

00:48:14because the company is so big that he might get lost,

00:48:18and Joe starts boasting about their facilities,

00:48:20telling Pei that he can learn from them.

00:48:23He offers to give Pei a limited edition doll,

00:48:25and he checks his collection,

00:48:27but Pei's team arrives,

00:48:28and they start insulting the studio,

00:48:30thinking Pei's company is better.

00:48:32But they realize Joe is listening to them,

00:48:35and he sees Lin,

00:48:36realizing she has decided to join Pei.

00:48:38He calls his employees,

00:48:40and they have a meeting together,

00:48:41as Yang asks Joe if he's giving his workers overtime pay,

00:48:45because they're going beyond their schedule.

00:48:47But he denies this,

00:48:49and they aren't happy to hear this,

00:48:50as Yang realizes that he isn't treating them well.

00:48:53His assistant introduces them to Pei's team,

00:48:56and she starts bragging about the games produced by their studio,

00:48:59saying Lin was a bad employee,

00:49:01so she never deserved to be in their company.

00:49:04But Pei explains that she's now working as his director,

00:49:07and he orders her to tell everyone about their company.

00:49:10So she explains that Pei isn't like the other game developers,

00:49:13saying Lonely Desert Road went viral,

00:49:15because it was able to do something other games weren't able to accomplish.

00:49:19She explains that it was able to change people's lives while they were playing,

00:49:23but Joe notes that she isn't making sense,

00:49:25and Pei totally agrees with him.

00:49:28She adds that the Phantom General is successful because of Pei's foresight,

00:49:32saying he challenged the industry's taboo

00:49:34by making the purchasable items extremely cheap.

00:49:37Joe admits that she has a point,

00:49:39and she calls Pei a genius,

00:49:41before returning to her seat.

00:49:42Joe delivers his speech,

00:49:44saying all their games are classics,

00:49:46so there's no need to talk about them,

00:49:48and he shows everyone the new game they're developing,

00:49:50called Bullet Mark.

00:49:52His assistant stops him,

00:49:54saying they shouldn't tell Pei's team about it,

00:49:56but he insists,

00:49:57thinking they're nothing compared to their studio.

00:50:00He tells everyone about the game,

00:50:01and Pei wants his team to listen,

00:50:03so that they will get demoralized.

00:50:05We learn that Bullet Mark is a first-person shooter,

00:50:08and Joe reveals that they're going to make the weapons look as realistic as possible.

00:50:13He knows that the players want to grind to improve their skills,

00:50:16so he has decided to make the game free to play,

00:50:19but mentions that the drop rate is so low,

00:50:21that the players will want to buy the items in the shop.

00:50:24Huang realizes that Bullet Mark is a brilliant project,

00:50:27thinking Project Oil Rig is nothing compared to it,

00:50:30so he falls into despair,

00:50:32and Joe knows that he has just demonstrated his company's superiority,

00:50:36so he starts looking down on Pei's team.

00:50:38But Huang wonders why Pei looks so confident,

00:50:41thinking he must have a plan,

00:50:43but we learn that he's actually rooting for Bullet Mark,

00:50:45hoping it's going to crush his game.

00:50:48Pei's team returns to the office,

00:50:50where Lulu reveals that Pei is allowing them to go on vacation leave.

00:50:54Huang explains that he learned something during their team building activity,

00:50:57saying Bullet Mark is going to be launching on the same date as their game.

00:51:01He knows that Project Oil Rig's quality is nothing compared to Bullet Mark,

00:51:06and they don't want Joe to succeed,

00:51:08knowing he isn't treating his employees well.

00:51:10Huang implores everyone not to go on vacation,

00:51:13because he wants to improve the quality of their game,

00:51:16and they believe Pei arranged the team building activity,

00:51:19so that they will be aware of their competition.

00:51:21They love their company,

00:51:22and they want Pei to succeed,

00:51:24so they decide to do their best to surpass Bullet Mark.

00:51:28We see Joe calling Lee,

00:51:29who is angry because Joe told Pei's team about Bullet Mark,

00:51:33so he explains that he did it to crush their morale,

00:51:35thinking they aren't a threat.

00:51:37But Lee tells him not to underestimate Pei,

00:51:39because he's more dangerous than he looks,

00:51:42so Joe promises to deal with him.

00:51:44We return to the office,

00:51:45where everyone works on improving the game.

00:51:48Val gives suggestions on how to enhance the gameplay,

00:51:50but one of his co-workers tells him

00:51:52that Project Oil Rig is already better than most games.

00:51:56So Lin explains that they shouldn't follow the trend,

00:51:59because Pei is a trailblazer in the gaming industry.

00:52:02Lulu receives a call from Pei,

00:52:04who explains that he'll be busy for the entire week,

00:52:07and she promises to take care of everything while he's gone.

00:52:10Lin thinks he's busy promoting the game,

00:52:13and Huang reveals that they're done with the project,

00:52:15so they need to test it again.

00:52:17Bao decides to do it,

00:52:18and he has a pleasant experience,

00:52:20thinking the game is perfect.

00:52:22Meanwhile, Pei has just finished his exams,

00:52:25and Richie gives him a report,

00:52:27which mentions that the next closing date is 25 days away,

00:52:31and he still has 361,000 yuan in his account.

00:52:35He knows he's doing well,

00:52:36and he thinks about wasting all the money,

00:52:39so that he can make a fortune.

00:52:41So he calls Lulu,

00:52:42telling her to arrange another team building activity,

00:52:44and he promises that everyone's going to have fun,

00:52:47saying they will spend 361,000 for the event.

00:52:51We see the team in a private cinema,

00:52:53and they watch a movie together,

00:52:55but it suddenly cuts to a recording,

00:52:57and Pei realizes that the team has a surprise for him.

00:53:00They tell him that Project Oil Rig has been completed,

00:53:03and they're all looking forward to launching it right away.

00:53:06But Pei panics,

00:53:07because he thinks it's going to do well if it's launched before bullet mark.

00:53:11So he tells everyone they shouldn't release the game yet,

00:53:14but Richie warns him that he isn't allowed to delay the launch for no reason.

00:53:18So he explains that they should celebrate before launching the game,

00:53:22and they decide to have a party,

00:53:23as Pei asks Lulu about the vacation days he gave them.

00:53:27But Yang tells him that they decided to work instead,

00:53:29so they were able to finish the project ahead of schedule.

00:53:32We see that Bao is already drunk,

00:53:35and he sings a ridiculous song,

00:53:36as everyone enjoys the party,

00:53:38hoping the game becomes a hit.

00:53:40Lin notes that everyone in the company is being valued,

00:53:43and she thinks Pei is an excellent leader,

00:53:45but she wonders why he looks worried,

00:53:47thinking he must be pondering about their future.

00:53:50But we learn that he's just thinking about how to lose all of his money,

00:53:53and Bao tells everyone that he was just a loser

00:53:55before Pei helped him discover his talent.

00:53:58So he thanks Pei for changing his life,

00:54:00and everyone starts crying,

00:54:02but they all end up getting drunk.

00:54:04The next day, they return to the office,

00:54:06but they realize that they haven't published the game yet,

00:54:09so they have no choice but to launch it immediately.

00:54:12Lin checks the download numbers,

00:54:14and she realizes that Project Oil Rig isn't performing well,

00:54:18because Bullet Mark launched on the same date,

00:54:20but they think it's going to improve after they market the game.

00:54:23But they realize that Pei didn't spend money on marketing,

00:54:26so they start to wonder if he even knows what he's doing.

00:54:30But Bao tells them not to doubt Pei,

00:54:32reminding them that his previous games did well,

00:54:34because he's a marketing genius.

00:54:36Lin believes he's trying to train their endurance,

00:54:39by testing them if they can perform under pressure,

00:54:42and Huang thinks they need to do something.

00:54:44So they approach Lulu,

00:54:46telling her they need a budget to work on the patches for the game.

00:54:49Bao explains that they need players to test the game,

00:54:52so that they can gather data to optimize the experience.

00:54:55But they don't have a large player base,

00:54:57so he suggests paying testers to give their feedback.

00:55:00But Lulu reveals that Pei didn't allocate a budget for this,

00:55:04so they decide to pay the testers themselves.

00:55:07Lin mentions that she knows a professional gamer known as King,

00:55:10and Bao recognizes him,

00:55:12saying he's a legend in the esports industry.

00:55:14She reveals that she sent him the link to their game,

00:55:17hoping he can help them promote it after he plays it.

00:55:20We see King as he's about to download Project Oil Rig,

00:55:23thinking it must be a terrible game,

00:55:25and he can't believe the legendary weapon costs 888 yuan,

00:55:30saying it's too expensive,

00:55:31but he decides to try the game anyway.

00:55:34He enters the game,

00:55:35wondering what he's supposed to do,

00:55:37because he wasn't given an introduction.

00:55:39He looks around,

00:55:40thinking the graphics are bad,

00:55:42and he sees a girl,

00:55:43who tells him she needs his help to escape,

00:55:46but a mummy suddenly attacks her,

00:55:48so he takes a weapon,

00:55:49and uses it to shoot the mummy.

00:55:51He realizes that he needs to protect her to complete the stage,

00:55:54and he sees more monsters approaching,

00:55:56but she gives him an assault rifle.

00:55:58So he uses it to shoot them down,

00:56:01as he notes that the controls are smooth,

00:56:03thinking beginners won't struggle to learn the game.

00:56:06He follows the girl,

00:56:07who tells him she's too hungry to move,

00:56:09so he gives her a candy,

00:56:11and she starts entering the passcode to open a door.

00:56:14But a swarm of mommies appear,

00:56:16and he tries to take them down,

00:56:17but he runs out of ammo,

00:56:19so he decides to retreat with the girl.

00:56:21But a mummy catches up to them,

00:56:23and it easily overpowers him.

00:56:25It starts eating him,

00:56:26but the girl takes it out,

00:56:28using her power to heal him.

00:56:30The mummy gets back up,

00:56:31but he's able to take it down,

00:56:33and we see King at pace company,

00:56:35as Lin reveals that he begged her to bring him to their office.

00:56:38He reveals that he finished the story mode,

00:56:40by climbing the tower to reach the helicopter,

00:56:43and he thinks the game is amazing,

00:56:45saying he loves everything about it.

00:56:47He thinks Bullet Mark is overrated,

00:56:49because it lacks originality,

00:56:51thinking it's nothing compared to Project Oil Rig.

00:56:53They thank him for appreciating the game,

00:56:56and Lin offers to give him the legendary weapon called the Kirin,

00:56:59but he tells her he already bought it.

00:57:02He mentions that it looks cool,

00:57:03but he thinks the name sounds boring,

00:57:05saying they should call it the Mega Holy Gun,

00:57:08but they think it sounds ridiculous.

00:57:10He asks them why there's only one item for sale in the shop,

00:57:13so they tell him it was Pei's idea,

00:57:15because he wanted to sell a legendary weapon in the game.

00:57:18But they thought about the lower class weapons,

00:57:20and Pei didn't mention anything about them,

00:57:22so the team decided to make the other weapons free.

00:57:26Lin offers to pay him for testing the game,

00:57:28but he refuses,

00:57:29saying he wants their game to succeed,

00:57:31so he's going to cover it in his live stream.

00:57:34We see Pei in his classroom,

00:57:35as Yang tells him that Project Oil Rig isn't doing well,

00:57:39so he should return to their office after the exam.

00:57:42He thinks everyone is depressed because the game failed,

00:57:45thinking he needs to cheer them up when he returns,

00:57:47but he's actually happy,

00:57:49knowing he's going to make a fortune.

00:57:50But Yang tells him that the game is gaining traction,

00:57:54saying it could go viral,

00:57:55so he becomes worried,

00:57:56thinking his game is going to become successful again.

00:58:00Pei returns to the office,

00:58:01and he notes that everyone appears to be on the edge,

00:58:04thinking Yang must have lied to him,

00:58:06but they suddenly surround him,

00:58:07telling him that the game has gone viral,

00:58:10and they congratulate him,

00:58:11as they start celebrating their success.

00:58:14He returns to his office,

00:58:15and he wonders why the game didn't fail,

00:58:17thinking his employees must have advertised it in secret.

00:58:21Huang gives him an analysis,

00:58:22explaining that it contains the factors that contributed to the game's success.

00:58:26So he reads it,

00:58:28realizing that King promoted the game,

00:58:30because he loved everything about it,

00:58:32saying the controls are beginner-friendly,

00:58:34and it even has a great story mode.

00:58:36But Pei thinks this doesn't make sense,

00:58:39because he came up with those concepts,

00:58:41thinking the players are going to hate it,

00:58:43so he realizes that he's the reason why his game didn't fail.

00:58:46Pei's team thinks he's brilliant,

00:58:48because he decided the game's direction from the beginning,

00:58:51and his ideas made the game stand out.

00:58:54Pei walks past them,

00:58:55and he appears to be depressed,

00:58:57but they think he's cool,

00:58:58because he can stay calm and collected despite everything that's happening.

00:59:02We see Pei on a terrace,

00:59:03and we learn that he went through the comments of the players,

00:59:06realizing that they all loved his game.

00:59:08He reveals that he made 400,000 from the Kirin alone,

00:59:12and he knows that his game is still gaining traction,

00:59:15so he could end up making millions before the next closing date.

00:59:18He starts to feel depressed,

00:59:20knowing he can't spend all of it,

00:59:22but Lin tells him to calm down,

00:59:24saying he can talk to her if he isn't feeling well,

00:59:26but he knows she will never understand what he's going through.

00:59:30She thinks he feels bad that their game crushed bullet mark,

00:59:33and he can't handle Project Oil Rig's success,

00:59:36so she tells him to take a break,

00:59:38saying his team will always be there to support him.

00:59:40Hearing this,

00:59:41he realizes that he can get other people to spend the money for him,

00:59:45thinking Richie is playing a game with him,

00:59:47and he knows his pride is on the line,

00:59:49so he's determined to come out on top.

00:59:52Pei realizes that Project Oil Rig is making more money than his other games,

00:59:56so he thinks about spending everything before the next closing date arrives.

01:00:00He notes that he has over 1 million yuan in his account,

01:00:03and he tries to think of a solution.

01:00:05Richie suddenly appears,

01:00:07and Pei mentions that he wants to update his games,

01:00:10so he needs to spend money for it.

01:00:12But Richie tells him that they have a rule,

01:00:15which mentions that he needs to add microtransactions if he updates a game.

01:00:19So he changes his mind,

01:00:21and he considers giving half of the game's profit as a bonus to his employees,

01:00:25but Richie explains that it's against the rules,

01:00:28because he's being too generous.

01:00:30So he thinks about implementing a claiming quota for them instead,

01:00:33and Richie allows it, asking him about the amount.

01:00:36But he mentions that he wants to give each of them $20,000 per month,

01:00:40and Richie denies his request, because the amount is too high.

01:00:44That evening, everyone leaves the office,

01:00:47but Lulu realizes that Pei is still inside,

01:00:49and he tells her that he still isn't finished with his tasks.

01:00:53She offers to help him, saying she doesn't mind working overtime,

01:00:57so he asks her if she knows how to make excuses,

01:00:59because he wants to carry out his personal demands under the company's name.

01:01:04She thinks he's about to do something illegal,

01:01:06but he explains that he just wants to use the company's profit to give the employee's benefits.

01:01:11So she decides to help him,

01:01:13and he explains that he wanted to share the company's profit with his employees,

01:01:17but someone set a limit for him.

01:01:19He asks for her advice,

01:01:20so she suggests sharing 50% of the profit as a project bonus,

01:01:25saying it sounds reasonable.

01:01:26He asks her if he can implement a special claiming system,

01:01:30so she tells him there's a solution,

01:01:32saying it's reasonable to give 3,500 yuan per month for each employee.

01:01:37But he explains that he wants to give them more,

01:01:39so she suggests giving each of them a 1,000 yuan shopping card,

01:01:43and he realizes she's brilliant,

01:01:45thinking she's the best member of his team.

01:01:48The next day, Lulu gives him a budget report,

01:01:50and he goes through it,

01:01:52thinking he's finally able to outsmart the system.

01:01:54Richie examines it,

01:01:56saying it doesn't go against the rules,

01:01:58but he mentions that being thrifty is a virtue.

01:02:01Pei goes out with his team,

01:02:02and he tells them that they can each claim up to 3,500 yuan,

01:02:06saying he'll even give them gift cards,

01:02:08so they can buy anything they want.

01:02:10They start shopping,

01:02:12as Pei notes that he has two hours left before the closing time,

01:02:15so they need to spend money fast.

01:02:17He points them to the flagship store of the Shanwa company,

01:02:20and they decide to check it out, realizing that it's filled with interesting gadgets.

01:02:25Huang considers buying a laptop,

01:02:27but he mentions that the company's computer is better,

01:02:30so he thinks he doesn't need it.

01:02:32But Pei tells him that it offers him convenience,

01:02:34because he can use it to work anywhere he wants.

01:02:37Pei approaches an employee named Ming,

01:02:39who is checking out a gaming phone,

01:02:41but he thinks it's too expensive,

01:02:43saying his phone is still in good condition.

01:02:45So Pei reminds him that the company will pay for it,

01:02:49telling him he's going to need it when they develop mobile games.

01:02:52Bao looks at gaming equipment,

01:02:54and he mentions that he has already spent all of his money,

01:02:57so Pei tells him he's doing great.

01:02:59Pei approaches Lin,

01:03:01asking her what she wants to buy,

01:03:02but Yang runs past him,

01:03:04and Pei asks him why he's only taking phone cases.

01:03:07So he explains that he wants to keep changing his phone's appearance,

01:03:11thinking it will make him look cool,

01:03:12but Pei reprimands him, telling him to spend more money.

01:03:16He takes all the phone cases in the store,

01:03:19and he gives it to Yang,

01:03:20telling him to buy all of it,

01:03:21as Lin observes them,

01:03:23thinking Pei is a great person,

01:03:25because he's giving his employees special benefits.

01:03:28Moments later,

01:03:29Lulu tells Pei that everyone has achieved their spending target,

01:03:32and he thinks about all the money they spent,

01:03:35realizing it's not enough.

01:03:36So he asks her if he can use the company's money to buy what he wants,

01:03:40and she tells him he can buy items that can improve his work efficiency.

01:03:44He enters a store,

01:03:45saying he wants to buy a watch,

01:03:47but he realizes that he can't buy the most expensive one,

01:03:50and he asks Richie why he can't spend more than $40,000 for a watch.

01:03:54So Richie explains that his net worth is only $40,000,

01:03:58so he can't buy items above that price.

01:04:01Pei goes on a shopping spree,

01:04:02but his employees still think he's thrifty,

01:04:05because he only bought work-related items,

01:04:07and none of them are overpriced.

01:04:09He realizes that he has a few seconds left before the closing time,

01:04:13but he still needs to spend money,

01:04:15and he sees a perfume,

01:04:16but Richie tells him he can't buy it,

01:04:18saying it isn't related to the company's business.

01:04:21But he explains that he's buying it for a client,

01:04:24and he realizes that Lin hasn't bought anything yet,

01:04:26so he decides to buy it for her,

01:04:28causing her to become flustered.

01:04:30Richie examines her,

01:04:32and he realizes that she has a net worth of 10 billion yuan,

01:04:35because she's the heiress of the Shema Group.

01:04:37So he allows it,

01:04:39and Pei is able to spend all of his money before the closing time.

01:04:43The system gives him a report,

01:04:44and he realizes that he lost 20,000 yuan,

01:04:47so he celebrates,

01:04:49knowing he has defeated the system.

01:04:51He tells everyone that he has an announcement tomorrow,

01:04:53and Lin thanks him for the gift,

01:04:55but he wonders why Richie allowed him to buy it for her.

01:04:58The next day,

01:04:59everyone gathers at the office,

01:05:01and Pei recognizes Huang and Bao as the best employees,

01:05:04so he gives them awards.

01:05:05But he announces that Huang no longer needs to work,

01:05:09because he's going to be replaced by Ming,

01:05:11so everyone becomes confused.

01:05:13We learn that he wants to eliminate his most talented employees,

01:05:16because he wants his games to fail.

01:05:19But he tells Huang that he's going to receive 1 million yuan,

01:05:22so that he can start his own business,

01:05:24and he's overjoyed to hear this.

01:05:26Pei approaches Bao,

01:05:28knowing he wants to do nothing but play,

01:05:30so Pei gives him unlimited paid holidays,

01:05:32but he explains that he wants to stay in the office.

01:05:35So Pei advises him to expand his horizon,

01:05:38and he reluctantly accepts the offer.

01:05:40Pei concludes the awarding ceremony,

01:05:42and he tells everyone that they're going to be working on another project.

01:05:46Huang is about to leave the office,

01:05:48when Lulu approaches him,

01:05:49telling him that the money will be transferred to his account

01:05:52after he comes up with a business idea.

01:05:55He reveals that he always wanted to work in the gaming industry,

01:05:58and he thinks Pei is letting him go,

01:06:00because he has a bigger plan for him.

01:06:02He sees Lin and Ming,

01:06:04telling them to update Project Oil Rig while he's gone,

01:06:07but Ming tells him that they won't be updating the previous games,

01:06:10because Pei wants to focus on the next project.

01:06:13Huang can't believe this,

01:06:15knowing the company will make more profit if they update the games,

01:06:18and Ming thinks he still isn't ready to lead a new project.

01:06:21But Lin believes in Pei,

01:06:23thinking he has everything under control.

01:06:25Pei checks the system,

01:06:26realizing that he has 1 million yuan in his account,

01:06:30and the next closing date is 90 days away.

01:06:33He plans to take it easy,

01:06:34thinking 90 days is more than enough to create a bad game.

01:06:38But he thinks about controlling the pace,

01:06:40because he doesn't want his employees to complete the game early,

01:06:43thinking they might update the previous games if they get the chance.

01:06:47He recalls that he needs to add microtransactions if the games are updated,

01:06:51and he doesn't want this to happen,

01:06:53knowing it's going to make the games profitable again.

01:06:55He thinks about how to ruin his next project,

01:06:58thinking he made a mistake by trusting his best employees,

01:07:01so he decides not to give Ming a chance to develop the game freely.

01:07:06Pei has a meeting with Ming and Lin,

01:07:07as he thinks about handling the project himself,

01:07:10so that he can make it as bad as possible.

01:07:13He explains that he wants to develop a game that will reflect the current situation of the gaming industry,

01:07:18saying it should help the players realize that they shouldn't spend their time playing games.

01:07:22He mentions that the players will only interact with a 2D character in the game,

01:07:27and it's going to focus on the storytelling.

01:07:29But he wants it to be as boring as possible,

01:07:32thinking nobody would be interested in a project called Game Producer.

01:07:35Ming wonders if they need to work on the 2D designs,

01:07:38but Pei is against this,

01:07:40because they won't be spending money that way,

01:07:42so he wants the game to look unique.

01:07:44He shows them what the game is supposed to look like,

01:07:47as he explains that the players will be playing as a game producer,

01:07:50and they need to make choices as they develop games.

01:07:53Each decision will lead the players to a different ending,

01:07:56and the choices are complicated,

01:07:58so they need to think carefully,

01:08:00because their decisions will affect the project's success.

01:08:03There's suddenly a blackout,

01:08:05so everyone wonders what's happening,

01:08:06as Pei explains that sudden events can also be added into the game.

01:08:11Lin thinks the players could get bored,

01:08:13because the NPCs aren't interacting with the main character,

01:08:16and Pei admits that she has a point,

01:08:18so he decides to give them the ability to communicate.

01:08:21He explains that they will add narrations to the game,

01:08:24and we see them gossiping about the main character.

01:08:27Ming finds the idea interesting,

01:08:29and Pei plans to humiliate the player with the narration,

01:08:32thinking it will make the game controversial.

01:08:34Pei and Yang prepare for the winter break,

01:08:36and Yang asks Pei if he can stay in his unit.

01:08:39Pei grants his request,

01:08:41but asks him why he isn't going home for the vacation,

01:08:43so he explains that everyone's still working in the company,

01:08:47so he wants to do his part.

01:08:49But Pei tells him that he should enjoy his winter break,

01:08:52because he's still a student.

01:08:53We cut to Ming,

01:08:55as he tries to record the voices for the game,

01:08:57but he's doing a terrible job,

01:08:59and the technician reveals that it's been three hours,

01:09:02but they still haven't made progress.

01:09:04Ming starts to lose hope,

01:09:06thinking he's useless,

01:09:07but Lin tells him that Pei believes in him.

01:09:10She shows him Pei's script,

01:09:11saying the game will be ruined if the player follows the narration,

01:09:15because it will lead them to choose an option that prioritizes profit.

01:09:18So she thinks it isn't meant to be taken seriously,

01:09:21thinking Pei wants to expose the greedy people in the gaming industry.

01:09:25So Ming is determined to do his best to make the game successful,

01:09:29and they start making progress.

01:09:31But the technician interrupts them,

01:09:33asking them what will happen if the player doesn't follow the narration.

01:09:36So they tell him that it will lead the player to a bad ending,

01:09:39saying the gaming industry is cruel,

01:09:42but their company is successful because of Pei.

01:09:45After the recording,

01:09:46Lin and Ming walk home,

01:09:47as Lin mentions that joining Pei's company has changed her life.

01:09:51Ming asks her about the Fiery Sky studio,

01:09:54and she recalls that Joe ordered his employees to copy other games,

01:09:57thinking he's nothing compared to Pei.

01:10:00She wants the public to learn about the industry's bad practices,

01:10:03so she's looking forward to their game's release.

01:10:06After the holidays,

01:10:07Bao returns to Pei,

01:10:09who realizes that Bao is in terrible shape,

01:10:11so Pei wonders what happened to him,

01:10:13because he thought Bao was enjoying his vacation.

01:10:16He begs Pei to let him work again,

01:10:18saying he feels empty,

01:10:19because he can't pursue his passion.

01:10:21So Pei allows him to work for the company again,

01:10:24and as he touches the mouse,

01:10:26he immediately starts to feel better.

01:10:28Ming asks him to help with the new project,

01:10:30but he recalls that Pei ordered him to let Ming handle it,

01:10:33so he tells Ming that he won't interfere.

01:10:36That evening,

01:10:37Huang visits the office,

01:10:38and he starts drinking with Bao.

01:10:40He explains that he can't think of a good business idea,

01:10:43and he misses working for the company.

01:10:46He wonders if Pei has decided to update Project Oil Rig,

01:10:49and Bao denies this,

01:10:50but he mentions that he has discovered glitches while playing it,

01:10:53and they decide to fix the game together.

01:10:56The next day,

01:10:57everyone hears rumors about game updates,

01:10:59and they realize that the Phantom General has been optimized.

01:11:03So the players are excited,

01:11:04saying they want to support the game by paying for new items,

01:11:07and the team can't believe that thousands of people share this idea.

01:11:11Pei returns to the office,

01:11:13and Lin tells him what's happening,

01:11:14but he tells her to ignore the players,

01:11:16saying the team won't update the Phantom General.

01:11:19But she tells him it's slowly being optimized,

01:11:22so he orders her to look for the people behind this.

01:11:25After some time,

01:11:26we see Jin entering the office,

01:11:28and Lulu recognizes him,

01:11:30knowing he's an artist.

01:11:31He shows her a flash drive,

01:11:33telling her to give it to Yang,

01:11:34because it contains the new characters for Phantom General.

01:11:38She wonders if Pei asked for it,

01:11:40but he tells her it's free,

01:11:41and he's about to leave,

01:11:42but she thinks he's the one who optimized the game,

01:11:45so she stops him,

01:11:46telling him to give it to Pei.

01:11:48She leads him to Pei's office,

01:11:50but he explains that he isn't good with people,

01:11:52and he's about to leave,

01:11:53but she opens the door,

01:11:55telling Pei that Jin is looking for him.

01:11:57He tells Jin that he doesn't plan to update the Phantom General,

01:12:01but Jin tells him that his company has made a name for itself,

01:12:04so the players have high expectations for him.

01:12:07He realizes that he needs to change his strategy,

01:12:10because his company has a good reputation,

01:12:12so people will buy his games even if he doesn't advertise them.

01:12:16He thinks he needs to make everyone hate his company,

01:12:18and he tells Jin to forget about the Phantom General,

01:12:21because he needs Jin to help him with the next project.

01:12:25Moments later,

01:12:26Ming shows Pei the game they're working on,

01:12:28and Pei likes it,

01:12:29calling Ming a genius.

01:12:30He mentions that they will publish the game on April Fool's Day,

01:12:34and he gives Ming a marketing plan,

01:12:36telling him to give it to Lin,

01:12:37but he becomes confused,

01:12:39because he thought Pei hated marketing.

01:12:41Lin goes through it,

01:12:42and she wonders why Pei is spending a ridiculous amount

01:12:45just to hire Chao,

01:12:46thinking the script is terrible.

01:12:48She recalls that Chao covered the Lonely Desert Road,

01:12:51and Ming finds this strange,

01:12:53because Pei has never hired an influencer

01:12:55to cover his games without playing it.

01:12:58We see Chao as he continues to create content,

01:13:01but we learn that his channel isn't doing well,

01:13:03and he's running out of games to cover.

01:13:05He suddenly receives a message from Lin,

01:13:07who reveals that she has an offer for him,

01:13:09and he becomes excited,

01:13:11thinking about charging $1,500 for his services.

01:13:14But he thinks his price is too expensive.

01:13:17She gives him a call,

01:13:18and she tells him that their company needs his help

01:13:20to promote the game they're working on,

01:13:23saying they're willing to pay him 10,000 yuan.

01:13:25He can't believe this is happening,

01:13:27asking her about the task,

01:13:29but she gives him a script,

01:13:30telling him to recommend the game to everyone.

01:13:33He doesn't seem to like the job,

01:13:35because he's famous for roasting games,

01:13:37and he's about to decline,

01:13:38but she raises the price to 20,000.

01:13:41So he asks her if he can play the game first,

01:13:44but she tells him that they will only give him

01:13:4610 seconds of footage from the game,

01:13:48and that's all he's going to be working with.

01:13:50He knows that his reputation will be ruined

01:13:52if he accepts the job,

01:13:54so he tells her to find someone else.

01:13:56But she explains that they're willing to pay him 50,000,

01:13:59and this absolutely blows his mind,

01:14:02so he decides to accept the job anyway.

01:14:04He checks the footage from the game,

01:14:06thinking it's trash,

01:14:08so he immediately regrets his decision,

01:14:09but he receives 50,000 yuan from Pei's company.

01:14:13He recognizes it as the company behind Lonely Desert Road,

01:14:17thinking Pei hired him to get revenge,

01:14:19because he roasted the game in the past.

01:14:21He knows he's going to lose his integrity

01:14:23after he finishes the job,

01:14:25but he knows he needs money,

01:14:27so he decides to swallow his pride.

01:14:29Lin returns to the office,

01:14:31and she sees Huang and Bao working overtime,

01:14:33realizing they're optimizing the previous games,

01:14:36but Bao asks her not to tell Pei,

01:14:38and she promises not to say anything.

01:14:40She reveals that the new game will be published tomorrow,

01:14:43thinking it's going to perform well,

01:14:45but she's afraid that the players might find it boring.

01:14:48So Bao explains that it's natural for game developers

01:14:51to feel this way,

01:14:52because they already know how the story is going to end.

01:14:55He thinks the players will enjoy the game,

01:14:57but he isn't sure if it's going to make profit,

01:15:00because it's ahead of its time,

01:15:01so the game could end up flopping,

01:15:03but he admires Pei for taking such a huge risk.

01:15:06On April Fool's Day,

01:15:08Chao releases an ad for the game producer,

01:15:10and he praises it,

01:15:11saying it's an amazing game.

01:15:13He tells everyone to buy it,

01:15:15and the video ends with Pei calling the players idiots.

01:15:18The team doesn't like it,

01:15:19but Pei thinks it's brilliant,

01:15:21and Lulu reveals that the people aren't happy with the ad.

01:15:24They know that the company paid Chao to create it,

01:15:26thinking they ruined his reputation,

01:15:28so they're planning to boycott the game,

01:15:30but Pei notes that everything is going according to his plan.

01:15:33Yang mentions that only a few players downloaded the game producer,

01:15:38because everyone hates their company,

01:15:39and Ming blames himself,

01:15:41thinking he has failed Pei.

01:15:43Huang appears with an editor named Hun,

01:15:45and he explains that she will interview everyone,

01:15:48thinking this is their chance to save the company's reputation.

01:15:51But during her show,

01:15:52we see that she exaggerated the news,

01:15:54making it look like Pei is a terrible boss,

01:15:57and Lin sees this,

01:15:58so she becomes upset.

01:15:59We learn that Hun's company is working with Li,

01:16:03and her boss ordered her to turn Pei into a public enemy.

01:16:06But later that day,

01:16:07Lin confronts Hun,

01:16:09telling her to stop reporting fake news,

01:16:11and they start to argue.

01:16:12But Hun's boss appears,

01:16:14and he reprimands her,

01:16:15telling her to stop making things up,

01:16:17because he doesn't want to offend the Shenwa group.

01:16:20So Lin calms down,

01:16:21telling him to deal with it,

01:16:23and she walks away,

01:16:24as he explains that Li is nothing compared to her,

01:16:27because she's the heiress of the Shenwa group.

01:16:30We see Hun interviewing Pei,

01:16:31and she asks him why he accepted the interview,

01:16:34so he tells her it's all because of Lin,

01:16:36since she was begging him to do it.

01:16:38But Hun thinks they're in a relationship,

01:16:40thinking they make a great couple,

01:16:42and she begins the recording,

01:16:43but Pei tells her that he only has time for one more question.

01:16:47She asks him why he makes games,

01:16:49so he tells her the truth,

01:16:51saying he's trying to ruin his games to lose money,

01:16:53but he knows that nobody will believe him.

01:16:55We see Chao thinking about the public's reaction,

01:16:58knowing everyone hates him,

01:17:00because they think he's a coward,

01:17:02so he realizes he messed up,

01:17:04because he ruined his reputation.

01:17:06He wants to see how bad the game producer is,

01:17:08so he decides to buy it,

01:17:10realizing it costs 28 yuan,

01:17:12and he starts the game,

01:17:14planning to tell everyone how bad it is.

01:17:16The narrator tells him about his goal to reach the top,

01:17:19but he must first start with a computer,

01:17:21and he thinks the story is great,

01:17:23because he can relate with the main character.

01:17:26Chao chooses to develop an MMORPG,

01:17:29but an NPC tells him he's going to fail,

01:17:31and he recalls the moment he decided to start a channel,

01:17:34but everyone doubted him.

01:17:36He becomes addicted to the game,

01:17:38but he ends up getting the bad ending,

01:17:39because he followed the instructions,

01:17:41and the NPCs call him an idiot,

01:17:43saying he shouldn't be too greedy.

01:17:46He decides to try again,

01:17:47and he tries to do things differently,

01:17:49but an NPC mocks him,
