Hong Kong Films: Going Undercover in Hung Hing, I Take Out Nine Bosses from the Start

Gao Shen transmigrates into the Hong Kong crime-world, becoming a 49er undercover in the Hung Hing gang. But nine of his bosses die before he can even get started. He’s instantly awarded the title “Boss Slayer.” Gao Shen swears on his sterling character that he had nothing to do with it. He planned to go straight until Hong Kong’s 1997 handover, but from the start, he and Keung get chased by enemies trying to hack them to pieces. Then he accidentally activates the “Universal Synthesis System”: [Broken black-and-white TV] + [Color film] = [Color TV specially made for Miss Hong Kong]! [Beat-up martial arts manual] + [A stack of Hong Kong dollars] = [Master-level Muay Thai]! [One black suit] + [Ordinary steel plate] = [Dragon-Scale Bulletproof Suit]! [Toy gun] + [Toy magazine] = [Silenced Black Star]! Skills, items, weapons… As long as you pay up, anything can be synthesized. From acquiring a scrap yard to founding Kowloon Resources Development Company, then building a nightlife chain that sweeps across Hong Kong, he creates a business empire all his own. Other people enter the underworld to seize territory. Gao Shen does it only to make money. … At the banquet to elect the gang leader, a reporter asks, “Mr. Gao, I hear you made your fortune mainly through fighting and killing. Is that true?” “I’m a businessman. Why would I resort to fighting and killing and sour relations?” “I kill them first, then finish them off!”
