In the summer of 2006, Chen An scored 348 on the college entrance exam and was dumped by his girlfriend in front of everyone. In his previous life, he drank himself into ruin, was unemployed and destitute by the age of thirty-eight, and watched his parents spend their final years riddled with illness and regret.
When he opens his eyes, he is back on the day they broke up.
His ex-girlfriend comes to return his things? He takes the 20,000 yuan breakup payment on the spot, cuts all ties, and never looks back!
Armed with memories of the next twenty years, Chen An dives headfirst into Fantasy Westward Journey.
He runs five accounts to farm monsters, buys up Five Treasures and Beast Skills at low prices, and waits for an update to send market prices soaring. In one afternoon, he earns what others make in a week, then pulls in a net profit of 2,600 yuan by stockpiling goods overnight.
He recruits his friends to build an online gaming studio, outmaneuvers the local unscrupulous merchants, and partners with top merchants in Shanghai to monopolize supplies on new servers.
After a last-minute turnaround in college admissions, he secures a place at a second-tier university despite the mockery. At a class reunion, he slaps his gold-digging ex-girlfriend and her rich rival in the face with a wad of cash.
College is only the beginning!
Online games are just his first pot of gold. He seizes every opportunity in the stock market, real estate, and the internet.
Starting from nothing, he builds a business empire spanning gaming, finance, and property, while meeting stunning women from all walks of life.
The education, family affection, wealth, and dignity he lost in his past life: this time, he will reclaim them all, and then some!
