Episode 2 recap: Linglong Tower succeeded as the new king of the Flower Neck Mountain.
Linglong Tower looked at the Mole Rat Strategist in confusion and only through the strategist's explanation did he realize that they mistook him for the son of the Pink Wind King. They decided to go along with the mistake. The son of the Pink Wind King had studied management in Chang'an a few years ago. Before his death, the Pink Wind King entrusted Linglong Tower, just like Liu Bei entrusting Zhuge Liang, to take over his position if the designated successor was not capable. Upon hearing this, the Mole Rat Strategist immediately pledged his loyalty to Linglong Tower.
The Old Star God had a video chat with Linglong Tower to inquire about the progress of the undercover operation. Linglong Tower shared the news of the Pink Wind King's death, which he initially didn't want to tell the Old Star God. However, at that moment, the Mole Rat Strategist suddenly arrived, addressing him as the king. Unable to keep the secret any longer, Linglong Tower had no choice but to truthfully inform the Old Star God. He thought the Old Star God would blame him, but to his surprise, the Old Star God told him that being the king was not a bad thing and it would actually be more advantageous for the undercover mission.
Accompanied by the Mole Rat Strategist, Linglong Tower held an inauguration speech. Linglong Tower awkwardly read the speech written by the Mole Rat Strategist, and the little demons below were almost falling asleep. In order to energize them, the Mole Rat Strategist led the chant to revitalize Flower Neck Mountain and eat Tang Seng's flesh. Tang Seng, who was alone, had just arrived at Wuzhi Mountain and sneezed several times in a row, realizing that someone was talking about him, yet he seemed unable to see Wuzhi Mountain right in front of him.
After becoming the king, Linglong Tower realized that being a king was not so easy. Hu, the director on Flower Neck Mountain, told him that the food on the mountain would only last for three months. Pang Zong Guan on Flower Neck Mountain presented them with a debt collection notice from a bank, informing them that the former king had taken a loan from Tian Di Bank, and the bank had issued them a final ultimatum. If they couldn't pay back the money within three months, the bank would reclaim the mountain and auction it off.
Since Linglong Tower's undercover mission was only for three months, and all the problems they mentioned would occur after three months, naturally, he had no responsibility for them. Therefore, he casually remarked that it would be good if they could hold on for three months. Later, with the reminder from the Mole Rat Strategist, he realized that he shouldn't have said that. In order to change the current situation, Linglong Tower, following the strategist's advice, decided to implement reform and set three fires in Flower Neck Mountain as his new administration.
Linglong Tower decided to transform Flower Neck Mountain into a 4A-rated tourist destination, not only to generate income but also to set up more concealed ambushes for Tang Seng. However, Director Hu did not agree with his approach. In Director Hu's opinion, if they wanted to ambush Tang Seng, it would be better to build a temple because when Tang Seng arrived, he would definitely go there to burn incense and worship the Buddha.
