"Who said that a child who loves
to play video games would turn bad!" At the present time, the age of the
proprietors of online games are not over 36 years old. After struggling
for not more than 10 years, they are the young people who would have a
couple hundred millions in fortune. They are the new generation of
Taiwan's yearly production value of hundreds of million dollars. These
people are children that have loved playing video games since they were
small. At the downside of Taiwan's economy, they are the ones that built
this industry that rapidly gave raise to new economic commerce
opportunities. But how many people know about the background development
of online games, its operations, and its meaning. With this drama, let
everyone see and understand the background of this rising industry's joys,
angers, sorrows and delights. And also let the young people of nowadays
understand, besides from online games, the enlightenments that they will
be able to obtain from this drama.
Early morning, the sunshine just peeks out from the
grayish blue color of the layers of clouds, the sounds of the birds are
rising and falling in the fishing village, sounds are coming from the fish
market by the side of the fishing harbor where the fishermen are selling
their goods. If the crowds are not gathered around the fishing boats, then
they are gathered around the fish market. Every day at this moment is the
busiest time for this small fishing harbor.
In normal times, the biggest entertainment of the
residents of this small town that overlooks the sea is to gather around
the front of the town's Temple of Judge Bell to chat and kill time. The
adults will talk about gossip and the children will play a bunch of
children's games. The martial establishment next to the Temple of Judge
Bell would often flow out the painful sounds of moaning and groaning from
the sick patients. This shows that the town's most well-known martial
master, Fu Ding Master, is working hard to assist these sick patients
through the use of massages. At this moment, a young person hastily dashes
in and says that he wants to look of Ding Master's son, Ding Da Yong.
Ding Da Yong, Ding Master's only son possesses a pure,
good and honest heart. From young, he has followed his father, who
operates a martial establishment and learned some good martial arts
skills. Walking into Da Yong's room, not only will there NOT be any
posters on Bruce Lee, but there is a whole room full of his celebrity
idol, Ai Lan's posters. On the floor, there is also a lot of online game
softwares that are scattered all around. Sitting in front of the computer,
Da Yong is entirely focused on engaging in a combat with the other
players. It seems as if there is only online games and Ai Lan, these two
things, in his world. This young person is Da Yong's best buddy from young
till now. Out of breath, he tells Da Yong the news of Ai Lan arriving at
the harbor side in the vicinity of their small town to film an
advertisement.
Ai Lan is the idol that Da Yong loves the most. In the
room, there is a poster of Ai Lan that Da Yong had saved up money for a
long time before he was able to buy it. It was dependent on this "young
male worshiping illusion of a beautiful celebrity" heart that Da Yong
secretly runs over to the harbor side to watch his idol with her filming.
A lot of people are already gathered around the harbor side for
observation. Eventually, Da Yong gets to see his idol that he has wanted
to see for a long time. Ai Lan is just like she is on television,
glimmering with radiance. But something so small and conspicuous, makes
one feel even more pity. Da Yong is just like any other fans, continuously
calling out "Ai Lan, I love you!" within the crowd of people. So much that
regardless of everyone laughing at him, he decides to go and speak with Ai
Lan.
Da Yong takes big steps and advances toward Ai Lan and
everyone is prepared to see Da Yong make a fool of himself. Ai Lan is
sitting in the chair and looking at her script, when suddenly a black
shadow covers over her. She raises her head and looking up, was almost
scared out of her wits by the tall and strong Da Yong. With a face full of
sincereness, Da Yong announces his desire to be friends with Ai Lan. Never
thought that toward this imprudent guy that suddenly rushed out of
nowhere, Ai Lan would actually turn a haughty look on. She runs toward the
director and with a whining voice complains that she is being harassed by
a countryside bum. The director hastily soothes Ai Lan's temper and waves
his hand, like one would when trying to swat away a fly, at Da Yong to
drive him away. However, these unbearable words that Ai Lan has said, not
only did it deeply stabbed a wound in Da Yong's heart, but it also caused
Da Yong, who has a fair and upright personality and the villagers to be
insulted.
When their car is about to leave, Da Yong, with both
his hands on his waist, stood in front of the car, blocking it, wanting
only to reason with Ai Lan. The crew gets off the car and drags Da Yong
away. Before he left, Da Yong left behind the promise to make Ai Lan his
girlfriend in 3 years time.
Enduring the two years of military life, Da Yong still
didn't forget the promise that he made in the past. Without acknowledging
his father's opposition, he insists on going to Taipei to fight for what
is his. Boarding the train that is heading for Taipei, waving at his
crying mother, Da Yong advances toward his ideal and heads in Taipei's
direction.
Barely arriving in Taipei, Da Yong discovers that the
wallet that is on him has disappeared without a trace. Without a dime of
money on him, Da Yong could only stay out on the streets. Perhaps the
Heavens are fond of good people, under a chance of fate, Da Yong gets a
Japanese cuisine shop job that includes meals and lodging. He meets his
co-worker, Ah Li, who also works at the shop and also accidentally
discovers the secret of Xiao Shu, the shop's boss's daughter.
Xiao Shu who often times seems to be a little obedient
princess is actually a big sister that beats people in school. What's even
more exaggerating is that she would sneak out for joy rides in the dark of
the night when everyone is asleep. Xiao Shu's rebellious behavior stirs up
Da Yong's righteousness. Without a care for anything else, the innocent Da
Yong think of all the ways to change Xiao Shu for the better. He would go
as far as to wait by the door to prevent Xiao Shu from mixing together
with that crowd of people. Until the day when Xiao Shu finally couldn't
take it anymore and thinking of endless ways to run away from Da Yong, she
once again meets up with that crowd of youngsters that drove the speeding
cars. Never thought that from beginning till now, those guys were just
thinking about taking advantage of Xiao Shu. They recklessly fed Xiao Shu
lots of alcohol and thought to take advantage of her drunken state to
violate her. At the very last minute, Da Yong shows up and saves Xiao Shu.
And thus, their misunderstandings with each other vanishes.
On a certain day, Da Yong is delivering lunch boxes to
a network company. Inside the luxurious and modernized network company,
through his observations, Da Yong sees that there are lots of movie stars
and singers that are coming and going. Even more, he discovers that Ai Lan
is this online gaming company's spokesperson. Da Yong suddenly remembers
that feeling which stirred him up to come to Taipei. Thinking of that day,
he must think of a way to enter into this company to work.
On Sunday, Da Yong goes to the Internet Café to play
games as usual. Inside the shop, a whole group of students are in the
process of playing the newest software game. Da Yong presses forward to
see what the excitement and noise is all about and sees a student
intensely fighting a battle with a monster. Standing in the back, Da Yong
carelessly utters the trick to getting pass that level. The middle aged
man that is standing beside Da Yong stares at him with astonishment,
strangely wondering how come Da Yong would know the trick to getting pass
that level? Right away, Da Yong boldly discusses the many online games
that he has researched and gained knowledge on. That's how Da Yong and
this middle aged person talked on and on without inhibition. Yet, Da Yong
doesn't know that this middle aged man is actually Hua Yi's Chairman, Wu
Zhi Cheng. And Wu Zhi Cheng sincerely listens to Da Yong's opinions,
altering their game's program and made their software game received
enormous popularity in the market. However, after that time, Wu Zhi Cheng
was not able to find Da Yong, this intelligent young person again.
At this moment, the shop's boss - Zhuang Ge finds out
that Xiao Shu and Da Yong's relationship seems to be getting more and more
intimate. Unexpectedly and without reason, he forces Da Yong from the
shop. With no where else to go, Da Yong could only go and depend on his
only friend in Taipei - Ah Li. And from then on, the two of them lives
together in the same room.
But without a job is not the way to go. Da Yong
remembers back to the scene of last time when he delivered lunch boxes to
Hua Yi and he decides to bring along his resume and go to this Hua Yi
Network Corporation to apply for a job. The director at Hua Yi sees Da
Yong's low school record and his vulgarness and uses extreme words to
humiliate Da Yong. The disappointed Da Yong could only stare at the 20
something story building of Hua Yi Network Corporation and then leave
dejectedly.
But the Heavens always look after the good people. Da
Yong's enthusiasm in helping people gets him a job at a moving company.
This is simply such an easy job for the great strength Da Yong. The
innocent Da Yong also takes this chance to understand the lives of the
people in Taipei. What he doesn't understand is why does Taipei people
throw away things that is obviously still in good working condition.
One day, when Da Yong is helping someone with moving
their home, he sees with his own eyes a mafia leader - Lai Ge, raising a
hand to hit his own girlfriend - Xiao Mo. Da Yong, of course, couldn't
turn his head on this and he immediately speaks up to put a stop to it.
Yet, his co-workers drags him away and tells him to mind his own business.
Several days later, when Da Yong is in the Internet
Café researching the online game that he loves the most, he accidentally
sees Xiao Mo passing by outside. Enthusiastically, Da Yong goes up to her
and greets her. The two of them becomes friends and only then did Da Yong
find out about everything. Originally, back in the days, Lai Ge and Xiao
Mo both came from the south to Taipei to build a career. Because their
education level wasn't good, jobs were hard to find, so in the end, they
have nothing and was living very poorly. Xiao Mo was forced to work at a
Pub and drink with the customers while Lai Ge parked cars for the
customers at the same Pub. Mixing here and there, Lai Ge unexpectedly
became well-known in the mafia world. But after becoming well-known, Lai
Ge's attitude towards Xiao Mo becomes worst and worst. Not only does he
speak insulting words to Xiao Mo, but he would go as far as to hit her and
beat her. Actually in Lai Ge's heart, he has always had the shadow of
being laughed at by other people that his girlfriend keeps other men happy
by drinking alcohol with them. The innocent Da Yong encourages Xiao Mo to
leave this deteriorating relationship. Under Da Yong's guidance, Xiao Mo
understands that Lai Ge is no longer worthy of her giving out so much for
him. Xiao Mo gathers up her courage and leaves and also planted a deep
friendship with Da Yong and Ah Li.
One day, Da Yong goes to Hua Li to move things and by
chance, happens to meet up with Wu Zhi Cheng, who is reading the newspaper
by the counter. Seeing the plainly dressed Wu Zhi Cheng, Da Yong happily
greets him and mistakenly believes that Wu Zhi Cheng is merely the
Chairman's driver. After understanding where Da Yong is coming from and
feeling grateful that with Da Yong's help, it caused the great popularity
of the company's game last time, therefore, he goes up to the director at
Hua Yi and convinces him to let Da Yong come to the company to work.
Unexpectedly entering into Taiwan's biggest network
company, Da Yong doesn't know that he is actually, step by step, walking
into the biggest conspiracy in the network gaming world. Relying on his
firm will and incomparable devotion, plus Wu Zhi Cheng's appreciation, Da
Yong continuously makes the company's games a huge success. Not only did
it supports Da Yong's status in the company to keep on going up, but it
also accidentally allows him to get to know Wu Zhi Cheng's daughter -
Shuang Shuang. His continuous achievements eventually causes Da Yong to
become the youngest CEO in all of Taiwan - worthy to be the Most Eligible
Bachelor to the previous top ten in Taiwan. And the dreams in Da Yong's
heart, one by one, becomes a reality.
Hua Yi Computer Game's spokesperson, Ai Lan, receives
an invitation and becomes acquainted with the company's youngest CEO - Da
Yong. Having changed his appearance entirely, Da Yong did not let Ai Lan
associate him with the countryside bum from the small fish harbor from
before. After falling for Da Yong, Ai Lan is determined to make him belong
to her. At this time, Shuang Shuang and Da Yong's private relationship
gets exposed out to the open by the media. This causes Madam Ma, who has
all along been thinking of all sorts of ways to destroy Shuang Shuang and
her helper, Kevin, to regard Da Yong as their enemy and continuously
thought of ways to do harm to Da Yong. And Wu Zhi Cheng's old lover -
Madam Ma, continuously used every method that she could to attack Hua Yi -
causing, Wu Zhi Cheng and Da Yong to be faced with the situation of the
corporation's disintegration of the tactics on an alliance. On the other
hand, not only is Wu Zhi Cheng hiding the secret of Shuang Shuang having a
terminal disease, but he also disagrees to the matter of Da Yong and
Shuang Shuang dating.
Faced with relationship and business difficulties left
and right, how will Da Yong break up this storm?
