[A heartwarming island life + a lovable pet squad + livestreaming + rural revitalization]
Jiang Chen, a former elite Marine, retires with 200,000 yuan in severance pay and hopes to lie flat on Taohua Island.
But the moment he arrives, a whole crowd of unexpected visitors latches onto him!
Tiaotiao the dolphin, who got tangled in a fishing net, brings him ten pounds of grouper every day to repay him. He can't chase her away;
Xiaobai, an abandoned seal pup, digs for clams faster than an excavator, filling half a bucket with a single swipe of its paw;
The 127-year-old nautilus, Old Longevity, gives a spray warning three days before a typhoon, more accurately than the weather forecast;
and the silly dog Dahuang, who picks fights with crabs every day and gets its nose pinched, has become the internet's top-tier star reaction meme.
He only meant to start a casual livestream to record his laid-back life, but the chat goes wild!
While others tire themselves out gathering seafood, he lies on the beach as his pets pile up mountains of seafood for him;
while others beg for tips on stream, he livestreams himself sleeping as his pets compete to put on shows and earn gifts;
while others spend billions developing islands, he makes a fortune in just three months selling products with his pets.
When a shady developer tries to snatch the island for a low price, Tiaotiao sprays him with seawater and Dahuang chases him, biting at his trouser leg, until he scurries off in disgrace!
The villagers are dirt poor? Jiang Chen leads them in raising livestock and opening guesthouses, and their per capita income increases tenfold!
Before long, Taohua Island has become a world-famous tourist destination. Standing on the United Nations awards platform, Jiang Chen nearly cries with frustration:
“I really just wanted to lie flat!”
The pet squad tilts their heads in unison. “No, you didn't! Now get back to work and become the richest person alive!”
