Synopsis

Period setting + no System + one female lead + chips + lithography machines + smartphones + Bitcoin + new energy vehicles + game development + esports + internet + AI + data services + real estate + business warfare + face-slapping

Reborn in 2008, he had only a few hundred yuan in his pocket.

That year, Bitcoin was still worth less than a cent, Jensen Huang was still selling graphics cards, no one knew what AI was, the mobile gaming market was a blue ocean, the golden decade for real estate had just begun, and lithography machines were something Chinese people wouldn't even dare dream of.

While his classmates crammed for graduate school, internships, and civil service exams until they were worn to the bone, Lin Yan refused to join the rat race.

While others fought for seats in the library, he mined Bitcoin in his dorm. While others ran around job fairs handing out resumes, he talked his classmates into starting a game studio. While others fought tooth and nail to get into major companies and work 996, he had already won the heart of a gorgeous real estate queen, and his app portfolio was raking in money every day. He acquired a smartphone company and defeated its parent company, crushing Apple. He built lithography machines from scratch, mass-produced 14nm and 7nm chips, and sent Nvidia's stock plummeting. He held on to Bitcoin until it was worth 20 billion dollars, and Tengyun crushed Tesla. Three blockbuster games, battle royale, open world, and grand strategy, made 10 billion a year. Local services, factory-direct sales, short videos, and livestreaming: his app portfolio broke into the White House and couldn't be shut down. His AI foundation model became the world's best, while comprehensive data services penetrated Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and the Pentagon. His real estate empire snapped up undervalued properties, bought islands, and built a hundred-billion-yuan business empire.

While others worked overtime for a few thousand yuan until they went bald, Lin Yan lounged around counting so much money his hands grew tired.

But some people didn't want him to take it easy, convinced he had only gotten lucky.

Too bad they didn't know that face-slapping was what Lin Yan did best, and he didn't stop at one: he ground his opponents into the dirt, too.
