While other people bring home local delicacies from their vacations, Xing Yuanyang returns from Xinjiang with two pieces of “junk”: a talisman stone that occasionally blasts “The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style,” and a metal lump that attracts strange happenings. From then on, his materialist worldview lies shattered around him.
When he explores Shennongjia, the wild men complain that his knowledge is outdated. When he ventures into Fengdu Ghost City, the ghost clerks gripe to him about their impossibly high KPIs. What he thought would be a global geography expedition somehow turns into a “Worldwide Tour of Weird Attractions and Complaints.” But when he uncovers the world’s core secret, he discovers that the end of this adventure is stranger than anything he could ever have imagined.
