His mother has cancer and needs money for treatment, while his girlfriend demands an 800,000-yuan bride price to get married.
Everything costs money, but he simply doesn’t have that much.
One day, on his way home from working overtime, he runs into a little boy who slips him a small piece of paper and says it’s a game.
Bored when he gets home, he follows the instructions on the paper and opens the game.
Pop-up windows and strange options appear on the game screen, then quickly vanish.
When he wakes the next day, currencies around the world have devalued, but he is completely unaffected.
