[Mastermind + System + High-Stakes Mind Games + Short-Selling to Make a Fortune + Ruthless]
Unable to scrape together the 180,000 yuan needed for medical bills, Lin Chen could only watch helplessly as his mother died.
As despair mingled with cold, razor-sharp reason, he awakened the “Mass Mind-Message System”: it could force messages into the minds of 4.8 billion people of eligible age around the world, with no way to target specific recipients or block the messages!
Faced with this double-edged sword with no solution, Lin Chen sat in his 800-yuan-a-month rental and sent his first command to God.
He fabricated a monstrous lie that plunged 4.8 billion people worldwide into a “prisoner's dilemma”:
“The System has selected a number of chosen ones across the world. They will become the only Awakened and receive unlimited wishes.”
“Warning: If your identity is exposed, you will be erased and hunted by the other chosen ones. Silence is your only protection.”
And so, the whole world went into an uproar!
Some went mad over the elusive promise of wishes. Others exposed their rivals' scandals to bring them down. Still others became champions of justice and set about restoring order... The entire world was working for him, competing to outdo one another!
Meanwhile, Lin Chen stayed behind the scenes, exploiting information asymmetry to harvest emotional points at will.
He short-sold a corrupt pharmaceutical giant and made 50 million!
He stoked infighting between multinational tycoons and built a trillion-yuan business empire!
As the world's top intelligence agencies relentlessly pursued him, he was always one step ahead. With nothing but his own efforts, he played eight billion people like pieces in the palm of his hand.
“I'm no god. I'm just an ordinary man who knows how to control the flow of information. But to you, I am cause and effect itself.”
When I read Chapter 13, it was very AI, and the AI flavor was getting stronger and stronger. The first one or two chapters started, but the rest was all about that AI flavor. It was not pleasant at all, and it was just a bunch of nonsense. Waste of time
