Zhu Anning is a brilliant engineering student at Zhejiang University, a coding obsessive who can use algorithms to optimize the route through the cafeteria line. But a startup competition leads him and his mischievous junior, Jia Xiaoli, by a twist of fate into the bizarre world of investment.
It is a showcase for eccentric projects and a hunting ground for capital games. They witness the absurdity of "shared kneeling stools" and expose the scam behind a "blockchain pet cemetery."
