In this chapter, we learn that Yezhen's contract with his company is about to expire, and Yezhen is worried about his band's chances in the upcoming competition. Yezhen asks why his company didn't handle the situation for him, and he tells Yezhen that he's a hard-boiled rock musician and an idol, and that his band has a better chance of survival in the competition if they win. He also tells him that there are "unwritten rules" for the competition, and the rules state that the team with the most youth members will win the competition. This means that the band will have a better shot at survival than the other team, because they're young and inexperienced, and therefore inexperienced in the competitive arena. The other team's leader, Yezhen, and his friend, the singer of the whale tooth band, are also young, and they are also eager to meet Yezhen.
