Bankruptcy? Don't be afraid! Boss, do you want to know more about growing sweet potatoes in space? A million-dollar debt can be paid off with just one sweet potato!
Chen Jianguo, the boss of a high-tech company that once dominated the business world, became heavily in debt overnight and was severely slapped into the quagmire of bankruptcy by reality. The threat of debt collectors follows him everywhere, and he is almost swallowed up by the maw of this cruel city. Just when his life hit rock bottom and he was at the end of his rope, an incredible "life-saving straw" was handed to him - to participate in a mysterious "Sky Sweet Potato Project" (PNSP): to go to a distant outer space station to grow sweet potatoes full-time!
The recruitment advertisement was simple and crude: a huge bonus that would allow him to pay off all his debts at once! Faced with the absurd multiple-choice question of "either continue to be hunted or go to space to work as a melon farmer," Chen Jianguo closed his eyes. Filled with grief and anger and an extreme desire to clear his debt, he signed a harsh contract that was comparable to a contract of betrayal, and embarked on the road of no return to the unknown deep space.
However, reality was far more surreal than he imagined. In the majestic "Prometheus" space station, what surrounds him is not the poetry of the stars and the sea, but the crazy growing sweet potato vines, cold-faced scientists, irritable and pragmatic engineers, and a set of "melon planting KPIs" that are astonishingly accurate. Wearing his expensive old suit stained with soy sauce, Chen Jianguo was forced to start from the bottom: cleaning the space capsule, recording the growth of melon seedlings ("gained XX grams today"), enduring the daily embarrassment caused by weightlessness, and always being on guard against disasters caused by sweet potato vines entangled in precision instruments.
