The day programmer Ye Fei gets laid off, he livestreams a repair of an old computer.
Bang! A capacitor explodes, and a palm-sized Sun Wukong pops out.
After being sealed for five hundred years, the Great Sage emerges to find that nobody in the modern world believes in gods or immortals. His magic has dwindled to a single spark.
Luckily, he feeds on incense offerings, and the livestream's viewers and rocket gifts all count.
The night demons come swarming, the Great Sage squats on the keyboard, stroking the gifts as he says:
"Send one more rocket, and I'll show you how Old Sun splits Mount Hua with one hand."
