I Was Just Stockpiling Graphics Cards, So Why Are All the Future Top-Tier Stars Here?

[Romance] [Light entertainment-industry setting]

Reborn in 2016, Fu Xun got into the screenwriting program at Hudu University of Drama. While everyone else was aiming for major screenwriting awards and building connections with directors from the start,

Fu Xun went the other way: he submitted an application to change majors, then headed to the urban villages to hunt for unwanted secondhand AMD graphics cards.

If you got a second chance at life, who’d still want to be a screenwriter?

Change majors! Hoard graphics cards! Wait for the mining boom!

While Nvidia’s 10-series cards dominated the market and AMD cards were going for peanuts, he bought them up like crazy. When the global mining boom swept in the following year, he sold them at a premium and became financially independent overnight.

His classmates laughed at him for wasting his talent, collecting electronic junk day after day and ruining his future.

His counselor was furious that he was throwing away his best chance in life to enter the entertainment industry.

Fu Xun quietly saved his money and stockpiled graphics cards, never saying much.

You don’t know a damn thing.

By the time you’re staying up all night rewriting scripts to please clients, running around casting offices with résumés and worrying about how people look at you, I’ll have made enough money for a lifetime from a warehouse full of graphics cards.

There was just one bug:

He’d sworn to stay far away from the entertainment industry, so why did every girl around him look more star-worthy than the last?

Tian Xiwei, the beauty queen of the acting department; Yang Chaoyue, whom he met on the campus shuttle; and...

Fu Xun: I really just want to make money in peace. Don’t come near me!

Later, at the peak of the mining boom, someone saw Fu Xun hauling several truckloads of graphics cards off to cash out.

The people who had mocked him fell silent as one.

So you kept saying you wanted nothing to do with the entertainment industry, while quietly making a fortune and even getting all the future top-tier stars around you, huh?
