I just wanted to make enough money to pay the electric bill for the future AI. How did I end up a billionaire?
Lin Yan transmigrates to a parallel 2016, a mobile internet era before AI rises and short dramas and animated shorts take over. In his hands is the latest locally deployed commercial AI model terminal from 2040!
In this life, he doesn't want to waste energy worrying or repeat the mistakes of the past. He just wants to enjoy college and make up for the youth he missed in his previous life.
But this power-guzzling beast named "Xiao Ai" burns through 55,000 kilowatt-hours a month, even in eco mode!
Lin Yan can't even afford a thousand yuan in rent. To avoid getting a visit from the utility company and keep this future ancestor alive, he is forced to embark on a frantic money-making spree.
Starting with a one-stop Taobao studio, he takes on content planning, essays, photo editing and design, special effects, and more. AI crushes human workers without breaking a sweat.
Writing under a secret identity, he becomes an online novelist who tops every chart.
Writing songs and making music, he becomes a legendary songwriter who launches countless divas to stardom.
Seizing the short-video boom, he becomes a director behind global box-office sensations, as well as the king of AI animated dramas, dominating the entertainment industry a decade ahead of schedule!
Until one day, Lin Yan's many secret identities are exposed to the world, leaving global tycoons in despair:
"One man controls half of the world's tech and entertainment empires?"
Years later, a reporter interviews Lin Yan, who has become the richest man in the world:
"Chairman Lin, what inspired you to build the Pangu Tech empire and lead the world into the age of intelligence?"
Lin Yan holds a glass of red wine and embraces his confidante, looking helpless. "You might not believe me, but at first, I really just wanted to make enough money to pay the electric bill..."
Not bad. I used AI to polish it and write it very well.
