Cheng Yu is a pretty-faced little idol in an underground boy band, with nothing going for him besides his looks.
He hasn't worked in a month, holed up in his 30-square-meter rental apartment.
He has rejected the CEO's calls again and again, until the man finally decides to come see him in person.
A black Rolls-Royce pulls up outside his run-down apartment complex. A well-dressed man knocks on his door.
The man pushes up his gold-rimmed glasses and says coldly from outside, "Cheng Yu, I'm here today just to tell you this: our relationship is over. You... take care of yourself from now on."
Inside, Cheng Yu is busy chewing potato chips. He answers through a mouthful, "Mm-hmm, okay, got it."
Cheng Yu's nonchalant attitude finally enrages the man. He deftly unlocks the fingerprint lock, charges into the apartment, snatches the PS5 controller from Cheng Yu's hands, and throws it out the window.
"Cheng Yu, then spend the rest of your life with your games!"
His words prove prophetic.
The furious CEO is hit by a car on his way home and becomes a vegetable.
Now Cheng Yu really can only spend the rest of his life with his games.
To escape reality, Cheng Yu retreats into the game world. The first level: Plants vs. Zombies.
Wait... Why is the zombie wearing gold-rimmed glasses too?
CEO: About how, after becoming a vegetable, I ended up playing a zombie instead of a plant in Plants vs. Zombies.
Cheng Yu: Gugu, now that you've become data and code, will you still give me money?
[Reminder to all players: This game is very serious. Attempting to extort the villain BOSS is prohibited.]
Cheng Yu says innocently, "But if he doesn't give me money, how am I supposed to support him?"
Theme: Work hard and earn your first fortune.
