Desperate Company: Onlookers

Fifty-nine-year-old Yang is a street monkey charmer who lives with the monkey Huangdou. The Extremis Company's "Wonder Project" came to him and provided him with a headband, live broadcast equipment and technical support, promising to "let traditional skills be seen by millions of people." Lao Yang and Huang Dou quickly became popular, but gradually lost their autonomy - the performance rhythm and movement accuracy were all controlled by the system, while Huang Dou was implanted with sensors and relied on nutritional gel. When Lao Yang wanted to terminate the contract, he discovered that the contract had allowed him to transfer the ownership and physiological autonomy of the animals. In the end, he only took away the soybeans and paid the price of withdrawal reaction and Yuanbao and Caiyun being taken away. After returning to the streets, the gongs were rusty and the streets were empty, but the monkeys were still there.
