As a third-year intern, Lin Zhou suddenly finds an unremovable app called “Penny Pincher” on his phone, opening the door to a whole new world.
A solid-gold Pixiu for 1.89 yuan, a book called How to Become a Millionaire for 5.3 yuan. Every item is guaranteed genuine, yet the prices are absurdly low.
While everyone mocks him for being so poor he has to buy knockoffs, he quietly puts on the gold Pixiu that won’t melt in a fire and opens the typo-riddled book, which hides secrets to getting rich.
His rich second-generation roommate waits to laugh at him, the company boss suspects him of stealing confidential information, and even the beautiful secretary sent to investigate thinks he’s not right in the head.
Then one day, the “Republic-era replica” he bought on a whim is appraised as an authentic antique worth tens of millions at an appraisal event.
Just then, the app suddenly flashes a warning: “System energy insufficient. Complete the ultimate mission as soon as possible...”
