· On the day Lin Zhou was laid off, he got bound to the "Social Death Makes You Stronger System."
· His first task: recite "Farewell to Cambridge Again" out loud, with gestures, on a subway during rush hour.
· He gritted his teeth and did it, earning a "Basic Physical Enhancement" and a cash reward. The video went viral.
· One task after another followed:
· Imitate animal calls while ordering food at a blind-date restaurant
· Hand out flyers featuring his own awful photos in a mascot costume in the CBD
· Bow to a pot of oden at a convenience store and apologize for three minutes
· Lin Zhou went from resisting the tasks to getting used to them, and realized that behind each one was an ordinary person in need of help. By a twist of fate, he became a "social butterfly prank influencer," and his first System earnings arrived.
