Li Qingniu has been hearing it from his Deaf Grandma for as long as he can remember: "You need to get stronger! You're still so weak!" Despite his efforts, he can't outrun the Gimpy Grandpa in the village, can't concoct medicine as skillfully as the Quack, and can't even defeat the Black Bull at the entrance. However, when he finally leaves the village, he discovers that nobody elsewhere is as strong as he is. Determined to find a true hero and become powerful enough to satisfy his grandmother, he sets out on a journey.
