A long, long time ago, a famous sage, full of ambition to "seek the wealth of the world and gather the wisdom of a hundred schools," boarded the K68 train and embarked on a journey to seek knowledge.

On the K68 train, it was crowded with all sorts of passengers who, like this sage, aspired to seek knowledge. Where there are many people, naturally there is diversity. Since ancient times, trains have been the place where thieves appear the most. On the first night, the money bag of this wise traveler vanished without a trace, leaving him penniless. The sage pondered what to do next. At this moment, a passenger sitting next to him seemed to sense his thoughts and initiated a conversation, saying, "Sir, would you be interested in joining us to complete tasks? We offer clear pricing, no delays, and each task is settled on time." The sage, filled with joy upon hearing this, readily agreed to accompany this passenger.

They got off the train at the China Witkey Station, where they were greeted by a young-looking Witkey Manager. After exchanging pleasantries, they were led to their destination. As they walked, the manager explained, "Here, we undoubtedly have the most task projects because tasks of all sizes from across the country are routed through this place." The sage's mood at this point must have been complex because he knew that he had grown up in the Chinese Academy of Sciences since childhood, coming from an intellectual family, with tender skin and unused to manual labor. His daily work involved only mental effort, not physical exertion. You might say that if he were asked to carry firewood, fetch water, move bricks, or build walls, such tasks would be beyond his capabilities.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the entrance of Witkey Village. At the village entrance stood a large archway, densely inscribed with numerous task names—some looking for design, others for planning, promotion, or development—a dazzling array. The sage was overjoyed at this sight, realizing these were precisely his areas of expertise. He couldn't help but exclaim, "There are so many tasks in China; now I can earn enough capital to seek wisdom." At this moment, a man slightly older than the manager (later revealed to be the Witkey Father) approached them. Seeing that the sage was likely a first-time visitor, he shook hands with the sage and explained, "Here, they don't say 'China Tasks,' but awkwardly call it 'Task China.' Everyone who does tasks is uniformly called a Witkey. I'm not sure why, perhaps it's just a trend, something everyone chases after." Thus, the sage became a Witkey, gradually getting accustomed to the tasks here, the rules here, and the life here.

The sage earned a lot of money here and made many friends. Indeed, even the renowned Zhu Bajie, Sun Wukong, and Zhuge Liang unexpectedly met him here. The sage could never have imagined in his dreams that they too had come to be Witkeys. Perhaps times had changed, and high technology had made even mythical figures seem ordinary. In the Witkey world, there was no longer mystery or fantasy; everyone stood on an equal starting line, pragmatic and diligent.

In the blink of an eye, several years had passed. The sage grew increasingly wealthy and mature. It was then that he finally grasped the essence of "seeking the wealth of the world and gathering the wisdom of a hundred schools"—that was the Witkey life he was currently striving for and enjoying. Consequently, the sage began to consolidate the Witkey network, uniting all the sages, establishing his own brain trust, forming the Chinese Federation Witkey Alliance, founding his own Taoyi website, and beginning a creative online life.
