00:25As the old saying goes, when two stars collide, a mountain will fit into a grass seed.
00:45Where is he?
00:48The baby.
00:53Mr. Wong, your boy.
00:57He crawled out of the womb by himself.
01:07Mr. Wong.
01:10Mr. Wong.
01:24Walking through the rain, the loneliness under the night sky.
01:34Looking at the starry sky, the hurrying steps.
01:42Inexplicable.
01:45The twinkling in the eyes, never leaving a trace.
01:50How to defeat the fantasy of reality?
01:55How many defenses have you built?
01:58Can you resist the loneliness?
02:01Can you shake the mountain?
02:03Pretending not to care.
02:06Listen to your heart.
02:08Do you want to wander, or do you want to struggle?
02:11So you can watch me now.
02:14Break through time and space.
02:16Can you resist the loneliness?
02:19Break through time and space.
02:22So you can watch me now.
02:25When I feel free.
02:27You're gonna beat me.
02:30And get your TV.
02:32While you're moving.
02:34I will also appear in your eyes.
02:36I won't hesitate.
02:39Break through time and space.
03:10As the chosen one, the boy has had to tolerate unimaginable torments from a very young age.
03:16Since Wong Ling possesses the ability to hear people's thoughts,
03:19he's forced to experience the reality of deceit much sooner than the rest of the world.
03:24I've always wanted the sword. Now I have an excuse.
03:28We wasted so much money on this rubbish.
03:30Men always confuse overspending with affection.
03:33But I would never pay so much for a silly little toy.
03:36Instead I found the perfect counterfeit.
03:39It was in this moment that Wong Ling would face his first philosophical dilemma.
03:43Come on, son. Take the sword.
03:46If he refused to take the blade, he would be subjected to his parents' incessant poking and prodding.
03:52If he accepted this dragon's slaughtering sword, counterfeit or otherwise,
03:56the item would not be able to withstand the surge of spiritual force flowing through his fingertips.
04:02You call this a treasured sword? Yeah, right. Crushed by a baby.
04:06Why are you so upset? It's just a toy.
04:09If the sword breaks, they can buy another.
04:11If their marriage breaks, well, that would be a lot more troublesome for Wong Ling.
04:17I gave you half of your savings all for a fake!
04:19I did this for our family, you big jerk!
04:25At a rate of 387 times a second, he contemplated various ways to react.
04:30That is, until the powerful force which had been accumulating inside him
04:34reached a critical breaking point and burst forth.
04:40Oh my gosh! He peed!
04:43You grab him and I'll get the diapers.
04:45With that, we have a little thought-provoking anecdote
04:48about how an unexpected morning pee can narrowly save a marriage.
04:52And also, a surprise solution to Wong Ling's prior philosophical dilemma.
05:01Is that my silly boy making all that noise?
05:05Stop chewing on that. Your milk is ready.
05:08For him, it was better to keep a low profile.
05:13But at the age of six, he would fail to adhere to that principle.
05:18The poor Wong couple was never able to enjoy the normalcy of raising a child.
05:23What Wong Ling was capable of was beyond their parental understanding.
05:27It was then that the couple and subsequently the family
05:30had come to a unified agreement for the first time.
05:33They unanimously voted on keeping the boy's powers hidden
05:36and to always maintain a low profile.
05:39The father took it upon himself to find a way, usually on the internet,
05:43to contain his son's spiritual force,
05:45and he managed to implement his findings before Wong Ling went to school.
05:50All done.
05:58Hold on.
06:00Give me those.
06:01I tried to tell you.
06:03Those counterfeit force-containing amulets are not reliable.
06:06You've got to stay on top of your daily gold pills, son.
06:09A black gold bowl was ruined, and we almost lost the steel chopsticks, too.
06:13Well, son, be patient.
06:15I'm almost done with the newer version of the amulet,
06:18and it'll be finished sometime this year, I promise.
06:20You've been saying that every day for the last ten years.
06:23Are you so sure it won't be?
06:25Don't be. Most of it has been finished already.
06:27A classic Wong family argument is about to begin.
06:30I can almost guarantee that by the end of the year,
06:33the amulet, with a few exceptions, will function at or beyond capacity.
06:37Have some faith in my scientific cultivation, will ya?
06:45I believe in you. I'm just worried.
06:48Besides, I shouldn't have to remind you.
06:51We need this amulet. Remember his seventh birthday?
06:55That's it. Make a wish. Blow out the candles.
06:59He almost burned down the entire house.
07:02When he was ten, on the playground with his friends...
07:09He shocked them hard enough to knock their pants off.
07:13I just want him to live a normal life, you know?
07:16For the last ten years,
07:18Wong Ling has been able to sense the depth of his parents' hopes and fears.
07:23Well, those pills we've been giving him contain power reducers.
07:27But even with his intuition,
07:29this is the first time he's known the truth about those pills.
07:33With this new bit of knowledge,
07:35he decides it's best not to do anything impressive,
07:38at least not before his father is able to finish the amulet.
07:41My fellow students! Listen!
07:43Please vote for me! Jin Xiao!
07:46I don't know. They all seem weird.
07:48Vote for Sun Rong! You can't go wrong!
07:51Vote for Sun Rong! You can't go wrong!
07:54Yay! If you vote for her, you'll receive this huge gift tag of gold pills!
07:58You'll also be entered in a drawing to win Ms. Sun Rong's autographed Bikini photo!
08:03Typically, Wong Ling doesn't like to get involved in petty politics.
08:08However...
08:15Hey, man! I'll take ten packs!
08:17Intestine-flavored, please!
08:18Give me a pack!
08:19Five packs!
08:20Intestine-flavored, sir!
08:21Hey, watch it!
08:22I can't believe they still have intestine-flavored!
08:24Me! Over here! I'll take three!
08:27I can see them.
08:39Payment. Spiri Force Pay.
08:41Five hundred thirty-eight thousand four hundred and four yuan.
08:44We've been eating in line for one minute!
08:46We didn't even get to buy a bag!
08:47The rest of us!
08:50Hello there!
08:51Today, everything in this shop is free for all freshmen.
09:00I hope you all give your support to Sun Rong of Class One, Phase One.
09:08Soliciting votes now, huh?
09:11Who's over there slandering me?
09:13Guys! She's here!
09:14That's Sun Rong! The shiny girl!
09:17She really is shiny!
09:19Sun Rong!
09:23You can turn them off now.
09:29She's so beautiful!
09:31She's looking right at me!
09:32Hey, Guo Hao and Chen Chao!
09:34Why do you have such a big grudge against me?
09:37You're...
09:38You're cheating!
09:39You can't bribe people to vote!
09:40It's not fair!
09:43I'm just showing how I can get back.
09:45Would you really call that cheating?
09:47Those who believe in and accept me will vote for me regardless.
09:51Seems pretty fair to me.
09:53Oh, yeah.
09:54That sounds right.
09:56No, it doesn't!
09:57Nice try.
09:58We won't be deceived.
09:59Chief of Class is there to help classmates,
10:01not buy them with cheap gifts.
10:05You should soften your tone when speaking to me.
10:08I'm not morally bankrupt! That's messed up!
10:10Su.
10:11Yes?
10:12Give you five votes for five noodle packs.
10:15At this point, Wang Ling has no self-control.
10:19What do you say?
10:20Yeah, alright.
10:22Why is he standing up for me?
10:26Five votes for five packs of dry noodles?
10:29That's not right.
10:31Each student only gets one vote.
10:34You can give a hundred if you want.
10:37I mean,
10:38I don't care if you vote for me or not,
10:40or how many times you want to vote in general.
10:43Truth is,
10:44I only want to be the best candidate
10:46and give you all my love!
10:49I want that one!
10:50I want this one!
10:52Me too! The chive flavor's the best!
10:54This one's mine!
10:57Chen Xiao,
10:58you were wrong.
10:59Look.
11:00The way it's written,
11:01vote for Sun Rong and everything is free
11:03are two separate phrases.
11:05You were just a meanie.
11:06Sun Rong,
11:07you and I will have a showdown.
11:09A classy one.
11:13You've been busy.
11:14Have a drink.
11:15It's free.
11:16No vote needed.
11:18Wait a minute.
11:19Is she about to use it?
11:22Not giving.
11:24A part of me
11:25to benefit the world.
11:31Give me a pack.
11:32This one's mine!
11:35Give me a pack.
11:41The art of seduction is working.
11:43Giving some small gifts was all it took
11:45and now I've got the freshman
11:46wrapped around my finger.
11:48I even managed to snag the troublesome Chen Xiao.
11:52And it's all thanks to...
11:58Where is he?
11:59Miss,
12:00who are you looking for?
12:01The boy who took five packs of those noodles.
12:04He's gone.
12:05But he asked me to give you this before he left.
12:09A gold pill?
12:11Wang Ling felt that
12:12since she only got one vote for five packs of noodles,
12:15he owed Sun Rong a favor.
12:17So he decided to give her the gold pill
12:19his mom had forced on him.
12:21You know,
12:22to make things even.
12:25Huh?
12:30Afternoon.
12:31Did you all prepare for today's lesson?
12:33Yes, sir. We did.
12:36Well,
12:37we're going to skip that lesson for now
12:39and move straight to the second to last.
12:42Today, I'll capture them all.
12:47Ancient arts of confinement.
12:50This so-called seduction
12:52This so-called seduction
12:53requires the use of incantations with hand seals.
12:56You will be projecting your spiritual force onto other people.
13:00The goal is to enchant them,
13:01essentially tricking them into becoming your followers.
13:05Oh, no.
13:06The teacher is on to me.
13:10This technique was referred to as
13:12taking advantage
13:14of seduction on other people.
13:18Thousands of years ago,
13:20this immortal referred to himself as Little Wise Guy.
13:23He had 3,000 followers.
13:25The mind game we're discussing today
13:27was passed down by his teachings.
13:30When the spell has effectively captured someone,
13:32a predetermined sign will affect the victim's mind.
13:36There is a precondition for this to work, however,
13:38and that is the act of gift-giving.
13:42When the gift has been received
13:43and words to the effect of giving a part of me
13:46to benefit the world have been spoken,
13:48a spiritual field is created.
13:50Everyone in close proximity,
13:52specifically those who have taken the free gifts,
13:54will relax their inhibitions.
13:57The spiritual force that lingers
13:58will seize this opportunity
14:00and draw the mind
14:01and leave a sign on each of the victims.
14:03The subjects will remain oblivious.
14:05Enlightened by the lesson,
14:07Wang Ling is suddenly aware of why Sun Rong
14:09was so generous at the shop earlier.
14:11Go ahead.
14:12Take as many as you like.
14:14Please, enjoy these free, harmless gifts.
14:17Thank God I returned her favor.
14:22What are you so worried about?
14:23It's only natural that someone likes you.
14:26Sir?
14:27Is there any way to break out of this spell?
14:29Men of significant force capability
14:31can directly fracture or remove the sign
14:33with their own power.
14:35Is she still trying to get me?
14:37I've given her a gift in return
14:39and no longer meet the precondition.
14:41Maybe her bodyguard didn't give her the pill?
14:44Wang Ling.
14:45He keeps staring at me.
14:47He's so annoying.
14:50Huh?
14:51What does that mean?
14:53Something brown, perhaps?
14:55Oh, wait, this?
14:57The pill.
14:58You...
15:00eat...
15:01it's good...
15:02pretty please?
15:04Of course, other perpetrators sometimes.
15:09Is it a power-enhancing pill?
15:11He wants to boost my spiritual power
15:13to help me win chief of class.
15:17What he actually meant was
15:19dry noodles.
15:20You gave.
15:21Tasted good.
15:23Those pills we've been giving him have power reducers.
15:25They're supposed to limit his spirit force.
15:28It's matcha-flavored.
15:30Huh?
15:31What is this?
15:33I feel like I'm plummeting through the sky
15:35from 30,000 feet in the air.
15:44Sometimes, a lack of spiritual force
15:47will end the seduction prematurely.
15:49Wang Ling.
15:51What on earth was in this pill that you gave me?
15:54I think it's time we have a student
15:56come to the front of the class
15:58and give us a demonstration.
15:59Sooner on, you're up.
16:01Okay.
16:04You've always been a fast learner.
16:06Why don't you show us what you remember
16:08from earlier?
16:13All right.
16:24Thank you so much.
16:26You're welcome.
16:27That was a close call.
16:29You need to be more careful.
16:31Now, young man.
16:33You try it.
16:34Go on, read it.
16:35Not giving a part of me
16:37to benefit the world.
16:43Hmm.
16:44Well done.
16:45That was very good.
16:46But it's time we move on.
16:48We will now proceed with the election
16:50of our chief of class.
16:58To cheat the world
17:00rather than be cheated by the world?
17:03That's not right.
17:06Sun Rong is paying the price
17:08for her deceptive actions.
17:10Hmm.
17:11His gestures may look random,
17:13but he disillusioned the entire class
17:15with little difficulty.
17:17I've never seen anything like it.
17:19Bottom line,
17:21he mastered the incantation instantly.
17:23The boy is special.
17:27Yeah.
17:28All right.
17:32Hmm.
17:34Hmm.
17:42Hmm.
17:47Huh?
17:48This is so stupid!
17:52If his intent was to hurt me,
17:54I don't understand why he stepped up
17:56and supported me at the shop.
17:58Not giving a small part of me
18:01to benefit the world.
18:03Ugh!
18:04Why can't I get Wang Ling out of my head?
18:07Achoo!
