When he wakes up, all of humanity has been forced into an endless-sea island survival game. Lin Yuan, an overworked office drone, starts with nothing but a battered axe and three "former coworkers": the sharp-tongued, mature director Su Qingyue; the energetic foodie newbie Xia Xiaoyu; and the gentle goddess Gu Yunshu, who seems utterly out of reach.
While everyone else is risking their lives for a sip of fresh water, Lin Yuan activates his unique golden finger: the "Emotional Energy System." Can collecting other people's emotional reactions make him stronger? And so, the whole story takes a turn. He trades "secret-recipe grilled fish" at the marketplace for supplies worth a fortune. When people ask for his secret, he puts on a solemn face and says, "Mostly, I draw energy from the looks of disgust they give me." In the regional chat, he offers a measured analysis: "By my rigorous calculations, one glare from Director Su gives me about as much energy as chopping down ten trees."
When terrifying sea beasts attack at night and everyone is in despair, Lin Yuan looks at the rapidly rising "Worry" and "Nervousness" energy bars on his panel and silently draws a gleaming forty-meter broadsword. "Don't panic." He turns and winks at his three teammates, whose faces have gone pale with fear. "Get a little more emotional, and I can put on a show splitting an aircraft carrier in half with this blade."
This is the story of a man who annoys his beautiful teammates and bluffs the whole world, carving out a hilariously invincible path through a serious survival game.
The funniest parts are always the team's reactions! I could laugh for a year at Director Su's expression when Lin Yuan pulled out Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, and the moment the 'hilarious trip' knocked down the stone-skinned lizard turned the tense battle into a comedy.
