Jinshi eyes an opportunity when the strategist offers to grant a single request to any gifted player who can defeat the military man himself.

Contrasting the diversion of games, reports arrive of crops devastated by a plague of locusts in a remote village. Jinshi's efforts to mitigate the insects’ impact will be put to the test, and the results will mean survival or starvation for the country of Li.
