Reborn in 1981: I Became a Tech Villain

Chen Mo wakes up to find himself a poor student who has just been accepted into college in 1981. In his previous life, he was a leading physicist in the 21st century, murdered by spies in his laboratory. In this life, he has returned to his youth with fifty years of technological knowledge. By a stroke of luck, he gains a golden finger, and his mind is filled with complete blueprints for future technology. Chips, communications, satellites, AI: he knows how to build them all. While everyone else is struggling to afford food and clothing, he is quietly laying the groundwork for a trillion-dollar industry. He plays dumb in public, but behind the scenes, he has patents by the dozen, and wealthy businessmen are fighting to throw money at him. A frosty campus beauty and reporter presses him for answers, while a superstar big sister chases after him. A rich heiress clings to him, eager to learn technology. He is sweet-tongued and skillful, and he turns no one away. Foreign spies lurk in the shadows, and campus bullies swagger in looking for trouble. He easily turns them all back. As he drives the rise of a great nation, he also rewrites the rules of wealth along the way. From poor student to godfather of technology, he helps China lead the world by thirty years. In this life, he does not seek the spotlight, yet he stands at the very peak of his era.
