Reborn into this life, no one understood the importance of money better than Zhou Sheng Chen. Therefore, he planned early on how to make money.
Before the age of eight, it was still okay. Besides researching the Temporal Silver Eyes and his devouring ability, he would read books and occasionally take a small notebook to write down the movies and TV shows he had watched in his previous life in encrypted form.
However, when he was eight, Zhou Sheng Chen burned all those written things.
Because he used his devouring ability to consume the Qi of an anomaly with the “photographic memory” talent.
This innate anomaly was named Wang Qing Shan, born into an ordinary family. He was a first-year student at an elite middle school.
Relying on his innate photographic memory, he idled about all day, wandering everywhere, and even colluded with small gangsters to bully students on the road.
One time, he robbed Zhou Sheng Chen.
Zhou Sheng Chen didn't resist at the time. He obediently handed over the money. But afterwards, he found an opportunity to directly devour the Qi flowing in the other party's body, destroying his innate anomaly.
After obtaining the “photographic memory” anomaly, Zhou Sheng Chen discovered that all the things he had seen and heard in his previous life and even couldn't remember clearly were emerging in his mind.
Therefore, he no longer needed that encrypted notebook.
As for whether Zhou Sheng Chen played with other children of the same age before the age of eight, Zhou Sheng Chen said that this was absolutely impossible.
Everyone's psychological age is different. How could they possibly play together?
They played pretend with you, but you're thinking about growing up quickly, making big money, and finding a girlfriend.
With different ideas, how can you play together?
After the age of eight, Zhou Sheng Chen began to get busy.
On the one hand, he went to school to continue slacking off and learn the simplest knowledge. On the other hand, with his mother's introduction, he apprenticed under Song Zi Yun, an eighty-year-old master of acupuncture, to learn medical skills.
On the other hand, he secretly used his father's computer to create a hidden folder, typing out the web novels he had read in his previous life and saving them for publication and earning money in the future.
With the “photographic memory” anomaly he obtained through devouring, Zhou Sheng Chen drained his master's knowledge in just two years.
After Zhou Sheng Chen grew older, he began to learn music, painting, dance, and other artistic knowledge.
Reborn into this life, he should learn more to enrich himself.
Although Zhou Sheng Chen's family was not a wealthy one, they were not short of money, so his parents supported him learning music and art and found him private tutors.
Zhou Sheng Chen felt that the reason his parents agreed to all his requests was that they thought they owed their son Zhou Sheng Chen.
Why did Zhou Sheng Chen think so?
It was entirely because the couple was too busy, and they rarely stayed at home on weekdays. They barely even had time to play with Zhou Sheng Chen.
Although, Zhou Sheng Chen was not interested in playing.
It was because his parents were often away from home that Zhou Sheng Chen was almost always alone at home, except when he went to school.
When he was older, Zhou Sheng Chen obtained his father's permission, used his ID card to create a small account, and published his novels online, starting his path to wealth.
Originally, Zhou Sheng Chen planned to save some money, and after entering the entertainment industry, he would write screenplays and invest on his own. Then, he would make 30 small goals and slack off to enjoy life.
In short, in his plan, he would use every method possible to make money without breaking the law, and strive to achieve financial freedom before the age of twenty-five.
Zhou Sheng Chen planned well, but he suddenly abandoned his original plan in 2010.
Because that year, he accidentally saw someone talking about “Bitcoin” online.
Then, the information he had read in his previous life about the protagonists getting rich by buying Bitcoin in some rebirth novels came to mind.
On January 3, 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto released the original code of Bitcoin and began mining Bitcoin. The price at that time was a few cents.
In 2010, Bitcoin was widely accepted in the global market. On May 22, the first real Bitcoin transaction occurred, when a Bitcoin enthusiast bought two pizzas with 10,000 Bitcoins. At the end of that year, the price of Bitcoin was around a few cents.
In 2011: The price of Bitcoin continued to rise rapidly, reaching around $1 by the end of the year. This year, Bitcoin was considered a very high-risk, high-return investment.
In 2012, the price of Bitcoin began to fluctuate, but its overall value continued to rise. At the end of 2012, the price was around $13.
In 2013, the price of Bitcoin grew at an astonishing rate. In December 2013, the price of Bitcoin reached an all-time high of around $1,200.
2014…2015…2016
At the beginning of 2017, the price of Bitcoin began to rise, soaring to an all-time high of over $20,000 before falling...
2018…2019…
Zhou Sheng Chen only remembered that Bitcoin would continue to rise in late 2020, exceeding the peak of 2017. He didn't know what happened after that.
Because he had learned most of his knowledge about Bitcoin from those rebirth novels. He had searched online with his computer in reality, but not much.
However, this information was enough.
So, over the past five years, Zhou Sheng Chen had obtained 400,000 Bitcoins through various means.
Actually, he could have gotten more, but he was afraid of accidents if he bought too much, so he wasn't too greedy.
"Buzz buzz!"
The sudden sound of a phone ringing interrupted Zhou Sheng Chen's thoughts.
"Your eyes, like stars, shining bright. At a glance, I fall into the trap. Don't worry, good luck, maybe it's fate."
Zhou Sheng Chen glanced at the phone, which displayed "Mo Sheng" on the caller ID. He quickly picked up the phone to answer it.
Mo Sheng's full name was Zhao Mo Sheng, the female protagonist of the TV drama "My Sunshine."
Her name was taken from Xu Zhimo's poem: "Quietly, it is the parting of the bamboo flute, Silence is tonight's Cambridge."
Zhao Mo Sheng in college was sunny and bright, with a cheerful personality. She fell in love with He Yi Chen, the talented and handsome student in the law department of C University at first sight.
With her cheerful and straightforward nature, she pursued him relentlessly. Finally, he stopped and stayed for her...
Unfortunately, now Zhao Mo Sheng is his.
The reason why Zhou Sheng Chen knew Zhao Mo Sheng had to do with his travel here three years ago using his anomaly.
That evening, he was walking around the street when he saw Zhao Mo Sheng being robbed by a foreigner. He immediately took action.
He saved the damsel in distress. Later, Zhou Sheng Chen helped her during a difficult time in her life, so he thought that when he confessed to her, she would agree.
But he thought too much.
Zhao Mo Sheng still had feelings for He Yi Chen, so she rejected Zhou Sheng Chen's confession, saying that he was younger than her. She also gave him a "friend card."
Zhou Sheng Chen settled for second best and continued to be ordinary friends with her, but he would never give up.
