Yuan Xiaohui, the mountain bandit king, accidentally gets caught up in an infinite game. His three capable underlings vanish, leaving him all alone overnight, so he has little interest in clearing the game.
As he idly swings from vines in a dungeon, a familiar cry of pain comes from the distance: "Boss, help me!"
One of his underlings!
Yuan Xiaohui swoops in like a divine soldier, beats the bad NPC to a pulp, and rescues his three battered underlings once again!
Heh heh!
The mountain bandit king has an army again!
A bizarre quartet has appeared in the infinite game.
One absent-minded fool with off-the-charts strength, one razor-tongued genius with sky-high intelligence, one child of fortune who can find hidden items just by walking...and one little curly-haired one whom everyone calls Boss. He looks delicate and pretty, so he must be their mascot.
Players all assume the mascot will be abandoned someday, until...
A Slender Man tears through the night, ready to claim their lives with icy malice. As the players scream and flee, the four exchange a knowing look. "Let's play a guessing game! How tall is he?"
"...Three and a half meters?!" The little curly-haired one is confident. "Nonsense! He's no more than two-point-eight meters!"
He stops and gives his orders with authority: "Underlings! Take that beanpole down!"
The three underlings pin the shadow monster to the ground and beat it up. They pull out a measuring tape, and it really is three and a half meters tall.
The little curly-haired one is aghast. He leaps over and tears off the shadow monster's lower legs with his bare hands. They measure again, and sure enough, it's two-point-eight meters.
The little curly-haired one sighs with relief, holds up the terrifying severed legs, and declares triumphantly, "No one questions the boss!"
The players are dumbfounded: The one who looks gentlest and most harmless is actually the most vicious!
Later, they face an unprecedented crisis, and all four are trapped.
The three underlings use their last bit of strength to clear a path to safety for the unconscious Yuan Xiaohui.
Then the three, utterly exhausted, quietly cover their ghastly wounds in the narrow darkness, huddling together in silence as they wait for death to come.
But...
The one who arrives before death is their boss.
He viciously smashes the cage apart. In a storm of dust, a gigantic furry beast drops from the sky, mane flying, and sends all the bad guys tumbling in every direction.
Even though he crushes the cage key underfoot, even though he completely ruins their carefully laid plans...those strange, terrifying blue eyes shine with pride as always. "I told you, the only thing you need to do is..."
"Trust your boss!"
[Bonus Scene]
"Smarty, analyze the situation!"
"Uh...there's a 99.9% chance...the four of us will die at the bottom of the sea, our bodies bloated and rotting."
"Ugh! Pick another one. The boss doesn't like that."
"Then...there's a 0.1% chance we'll clear the game, win a huge prize, and...go buy ice cream."
"Good. Assistant, call and reserve some ice cream right now."
Theme: Balance a team with wisdom, surpass yourself with perseverance, write a glorious comeback, and light the road to success with positive energy.
