Lin Mo, a food delivery rider, dies suddenly in his rented apartment, slumped in his gaming chair. By a twist of fate, he is reborn at age 22, just as he starts working for a delivery platform. On his phone, three familiar IDs in his Honor of Kings friends list light up: “Jungle Rampage,” “Rank Up Whenever,” and “Qingqing Hates Cilantro.” In his previous life, it took him three years to learn who these three “legends” really were: future FMVP Zhao Feng, real estate tycoon Li Zheyuan before his bankruptcy, and Su Wanqing, a celebrity who would later be attacked across the internet.
Armed with knowledge of the future, Lin Mo keeps delivering food while carefully maintaining his online connections with the three friends. He helps Zhao Feng analyze the tryout tactics of pro teams, allowing him to stand out in the qualifiers. During casual in-game chats, he “accidentally” warns Li Zheyuan away from a disastrous business venture, earning himself startup capital. And he uses his delivery job to uncover clues about Su Wanqing’s haters and turn public opinion in her favor.
From receiving a share of Zhao Feng’s livestream tips to selling his unused equipment to raise the startup funds for a coaching studio; from connections in esports through Li Zheyuan to endorsement opportunities for unknown newcomers recommended by Su Wanqing, Lin Mo steadily builds his capital. Avoiding the pitfalls of his previous life and drawing on his friends’ support, he rises from delivery rider to esports club owner and successful entrepreneur.
At last, at the tenth-anniversary celebration of Honor of Kings, he stands before the crowd as the “most influential grassroots player.” He exchanges a smile with his three friends in the audience, completing his rise from an ordinary delivery rider to a winner in life.
