After an accident, Zhang Jie woke up with his face dusted in chalk, sprawled across a high school classroom in 2008.
In his pocket was a phone from 2026. It had only one working app: Doubao.
"What's in the news tomorrow?"
"What numbers will win the Double Color Ball lottery?"
The next day, every news story came true. On Sunday night, he hit every lottery number.
Zhang Jie locked the deposit slip in a drawer and told no one.
Given another life, he wouldn't make a living off lottery tickets. He'd use the market trends from the past decade stored in Doubao.
In 2008, he opened a phone-screen protector stall. In 2009, he opened an internet cafe. Three shops in the county town and an apartment in the provincial capital.
He invested in Lei Busi's Rice Phone during its angel round.
In 2009, Hou Liang stayed up late reading Battle Through the Heavens and pounded his bed. "Xiao Yan got his engagement canceled! This is infuriating!"
Zhang Jie lay there without saying a word. Only he knew:
Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Don't look down on a poor young man.
Xiao Yan had lived those words.
In this life, Zhang Jie would do the same.
It's a long story, with plenty of laughs and satisfying moments. Updates are steady every day. Come on in!
