I Used Doubao to Bring Down Blue Star

After transmigrating to Blue Star, Lin Zhou is so poor that all he has left is one secret: there’s an app called Doubao on his phone, and only he can see it.

Technology here is so backward it’s almost touching: no smartphones, no mobile payments, no short-form videos.

Lin Zhou grins.

He uses Doubao to create programming tools, and they become a huge hit. He starts a company where employees get double pay and never work overtime, earning him curses from competitors for “undermining industry norms.” He builds a phone operating system that reaches twenty million devices. He creates a messaging app with over a hundred million users. He branches out into payments, games, TV dramas, and hot pot restaurants...

Three years later, someone asks him how he did it.

Lin Zhou glances down at his phone. Doubao, the app only he can see, is displaying a new message.
