Li Xiaobing, from the 21st century, transmigrates to the 1960s and discovers he's the long-lost son of Li Huaide, deputy director of a steel mill. He seems refined on the surface, but is ruthless and hard-hearted underneath, living by the rule: “An eye for an eye, repaid double.” He earns “survival points” through “retaliation,” “face-slapping,” and “plundering,” which he can exchange for modern goods like fine rice, pork, and cigarettes, or skills such as advanced cooking and martial arts. He wins Liu Haizhong over and brings Silly Zhu and Xu Damao under his control, completely foiling the Retirement Group's schemes!
