A survival game descends, throwing 7.8 billion people into an endless wilderness to fight for their lives.
Chen Chi opens his eyes: an adobe house, a huge iron pot, and a faded New Year poster hanging on the wall.
The 1980s?
While everyone else chews tree bark in the wilderness, he squats by the stove, braising pork.
While others shiver in blizzards, he wraps himself in a quilt and listens to the village loudspeaker broadcast the news.
While others spend their hard-earned survival coins on a battered axe, he trades three jin of rice for someone else's entire stock of goods.
The channel is filled with anguished cries. He quietly switches off the radio and serves himself another bowl of rice.
A natural disaster challenge every seven days? Sorry, those don't happen where he is.
Supplies running short in the trading post?
What a coincidence, the supply and marketing cooperative is right next door.
While everyone else fights for their lives just to make it through the next second, Chen Chi's biggest problem is that the production team leader has called him out to work in the fields again.
"This game... seems a little too easy."
