Sinopse

The whole capital seems to have gone Go-crazy when Lakan publishes a book about his games.

Jinshi sees an opportunity.
 
But it’s not all fun and games, as Jinshi learns when reports arrive of crops devastated by a plague of locusts in a remote village. All his attempts to forestall the insects’ devastation will soon be put to the test, and the outcome may mean survival or starvation.
