In March 2010, Gu Chen, a programmer from Xiamen, was sent by his company on a business trip to Vietnam.
In a secondhand shop on Hanoi's Thirty-Six Old Streets, he casually bought an inconspicuous dragon-shaped stone pendant for two hundred yuan.
That night at the hotel, one of the pendant's dragon claws cut his fingertip. A drop of blood seeped into the stone's markings, awakening the remnant soul of an ancient Yinglong that had fallen into the East China Sea five thousand years ago. It recognized him as its master.
From that day on, the numbers that surged and plunged before everyone else's eyes seemed to move half a beat slower to him.
That year, Bitcoin was worth less than a cent, and the whole world thought it was a joke for tech geeks. Gu Chen alone put every penny in his pocket into it.
His coworkers laughed at him and waited for him to get wiped out. No one imagined that a programmer who had to watch every penny of his rent would fight his way from a rented apartment in Xiamen to the trading floors of New York, cornering Wall Street's pack of wolves.
Nine Dragon Orbs were scattered across the world, and nine beauties each held sway over one sphere of influence.
From $0.003 to $60,000; from having nothing to being richer than a nation...
A pair of dragon eyes, and courage enough to stand alone.
This is the story of an ordinary man who became a legend in crypto.
