"Su Can, what do you mean by that?"
"How am I a gold-digger?"
"And another thing, I don't recall owing you any money."
Lin Shanshan fired off these three messages in rapid succession. She sounded so righteous, as if Su Can were the one being unreasonable.
However, since Su Can had dared to demand the money back, he had naturally already figured out how to handle the situation. For a gold-digger like Lin Shanshan, fifty-two hundred yuan wasn't a huge amount, but it wasn't exactly pocket change either. As long as she wanted it, she only had to lift a finger and countless simps would fall over themselves to provide for her.
But as the saying goes, if you want to strike a snake, hit its seven-inch mark. The best way to deal with a girl like this was to destroy the persona she had so meticulously crafted. For instance, in front of her classmates, Lin Shanshan had always maintained the image of a wealthy, cheerful socialite. If her classmates discovered her true colors—that she was actually a gold-digger who would stop at nothing for money and played with people's feelings—she would instantly become a pariah.
Thinking of this, Su Can quickly typed and sent another message.
"Stop acting!"
"You won't accept my confession, but you were quick enough to take my money!"
"Hurry up and return the fifty-two hundred, or I'm posting our chat history on the school's confession wall. I'll let the entire student body see what kind of a gold-digger you really are!"
It had to be said, Su Can’s tactic was quite effective. Back in 2013, campus forums were still very popular, and the confession walls were places almost every student kept an eye on. After all, many socially awkward students loved looking for romantic prospects on those pages. If he posted that chat record, Lin Shanshan’s carefully maintained "wealthy socialite" persona would be completely ruined.
...
Sure enough, as soon as Su Can threatened to expose her, Lin Shanshan panicked. She immediately softened her tone.
"Are you sick or something?"
"I'll return the money, alright? Why are you pulling this kind of petty drama?"
"Look at how pathetic and poor you are! Anyone who actually likes you must be blind!"
As soon as she finished typing, a transfer notification popped up. Exactly fifty-two hundred—not a cent missing. Su Can quickly accepted the transfer.
He replied: "I think we both know who the pathetic one is, you leech. It was my own eyes that were blind for ever liking you in the first place."
With that, Su Can blocked and deleted her in one go, leaving no opportunity for this manipulative girl to disgust him any further.
...
As expected, upon seeing Su Can’s reply, Lin Shanshan was absolutely furious. She quickly typed out a long, abusive rant, but when she hit send, all she saw was a red exclamation mark. Right then and there, Lin Shanshan let out a piercing, 180-decibel scream that scared the life out of all the girls in the entire dormitory building.
"Su Can!"
"I am not finished with you!!!"
...
Su Can, of course, was unaware that Lin Shanshan was bearing a grudge against him. Even if he had known, he wouldn't have been afraid. He had long since seen through her, and he didn't care how she might try to retaliate.
Wait... at that moment, it suddenly dawned on him. That’s right! He had been reborn! And he clearly remembered every single memory from the ages of twenty to thirty in his previous life.
This meant he could fully exploit this information gap to live a life of success and luxury—despite having only reached the level of general manager at a public company in his past life.Yet the displacement and hardships of that journey, along with all the heartache, were simply impossible to share with anyone else.
And now.
An opportunity within arm's reach was right in front of him!
What could be accomplished in thirteen years?
Su Can couldn't help but begin to seriously ponder this matter.
Earlier, when he went to get his money back from that good-for-nothing Lin Shanshan,
it was mostly because he simply couldn't swallow that breath.
He couldn't accept that his very first time pouring his whole heart into a relationship
had ended up losing to a worthless woman.
Now that the money had been retrieved,
he had also made peace with himself.
So the next step was to return to the main storyline!
Work hard to make money, marry a wealthy and beautiful woman, and reach the pinnacle of life!
No, that's not it!
Thinking of this, Su Can suddenly shook his head fiercely.
It shouldn't be about working hard to make money!
It should be about making money effortlessly!
Having the memories of two lifetimes, if he still had to rely on hard work to make money,
then he would be too pathetic.
"2013..."
"What an awkward point in time."
"Most people are still only using first-generation smartphones right now."
"There isn't even 4G!"
"Short videos haven't risen yet either, and Douyin doesn't even exist."
"At most, people use their phones to play small games and read novels!"
"As for web novels..."
"There are really quite a few he could copy outright—Rebirth of the Urban Immortal Cultivator, Global High Martial, and so on, are all books that can be copied to make money."
"But as someone reborn, having to diligently and painstakingly rely on typing words every day to make money would be far too embarrassing, wouldn't it?"
"Let me think further, are there any methods that bring in money a bit faster!"
And right at that moment.
Three words suddenly flashed through Su Can's mind.
Bitcoin!
That's right!
If his memory hadn't failed him,
it was October 2013.It happened to be the time just before Bitcoin was about to usher in its first wave of crazy growth!
Right now, Bitcoin should be around one hundred dollars each.
And then.
In the short span of two months.
The value of Bitcoin.
Would skyrocket rapidly!
On the first day of December.
It would reach a peak period.
On this day, Bitcoin would soar as high as eleven hundred US dollars each.
A crazy surge of more than tenfold in price!
Afterward, it would begin to plunge sharply.
However, Su Can no longer cared about that.
What he was thinking about right now.
Was how he could use this brief peak period of Bitcoin's crazy surge.
To bring in enough profit for himself!
Bitcoin at one hundred dollars each.
Converted into Huaxia currency at a rate of one to seven.
That would be over seven hundred yuan each.
With all his calculations, he only had about five or six thousand yuan on him right now.
He couldn't even buy ten Bitcoins.
How could he even talk about making money?
Thinking of this.
Su Can inevitably felt somewhat worried.
He walked out of the dorm room.
And leaned against the railing along the corridor.
For a moment, he couldn't think of any way to quickly raise capital.
Yet at that exact moment.
A slender figure walking past downstairs.
Instantly caught Su Can's attention.
This girl was very tall.
Standing fully around one meter seven.
Except that her graceful figure was hidden inside a loose, old school uniform.
Moreover.
This girl had kept her hair long past her shoulders all year round.
And her face was always shielded behind thick bangs.
She belonged to that type who wouldn't attract much attention even if thrown into a crowd.
But Su Can knew her well!
Damn it.
How could he have almost forgotten about this little God of Wealth?
