"This exam will end in half an hour, students, please pay attention to the time!"
Hearing the sound, Ryan Chen woke up from the table in a daze.
In the 2000 National College Entrance Examination, a line of bold black fonts caught the eye at the beginning of the test paper.
Damn it, how could I fall asleep!
Ryan Chen looked at the clean and tidy test paper on the table and felt a little panicked.
It was too late. At this critical moment, a life-saving mantra emerged in Ryan Chen's mind.
Choose the shortest among three long and one short.
Three short and one long, choose the longest one.
If two are short and two are long, choose b.
When in doubt, choose C.
There is no hesitation. Just do it. It is better than a blank paper. What if the teacher sets the paper according to this rule?
Ryan Chen had no choice but to "deceive" himself in this way to seek a little comfort.
After 2 minutes, all 12 multiple-choice questions were finished.
For the remaining fill-in-the-blank questions and essay questions, Ryan Chen started with the ones that looked familiar and simple.
Well, I can only leave it to fate as to how many dishes I can make.
After 20 minutes, he finished 6 fill-in-the-blank questions and 2 essay questions in a hurry.
There are only a few minutes left to hand in the paper, and the time is obviously not enough.
Mathematics is not like other subjects where you can get points just by knowing the subject. If you know it, you know it, and if you don’t know it, you don’t know it. You are not even qualified to guess.
It would be nice if all the questions were multiple choice
The July sunshine is exceptionally bright, and the breeze blows through the windows, blowing away the summer heat and bringing a touch of coolness to the candidates.
The fans on the walls in front and behind the examination room were humming. It was really great weather for the college entrance examination.
The deadline for submission of the paper is imminent.
Thinking of my parents' eager expectations, my own hard work, and the high probability of repeating the year next year,
Ryan Chen's hand holding the pen began to tremble uncontrollably, and the thin clothes on his back were soaked with sweat.
what to do?
Ryan Chen turned his head and looked at the candidates around him who were doing the final calculations, full of envy.
boom!
The sound of fists hitting the desks, and a dignified voice came from the front: "Ryan Chen, a student in Class 5 of Senior 3, is suspected of cheating. He will be given 0 points in this exam and will be disqualified from all subsequent exams!"
Ryan Chen turned around and saw the test paper being torn into pieces by the invigilator.
And the invigilator's face,
He can't see clearly
"don't want!!!"
Ryan Chen jumped up from the bed with a look of horror.
It turns out I was dreaming, luckily it was just a dream!
He let out a long sigh.
Although it has been more than 20 years since the college entrance examination, I still dream about that day from time to time. It is almost becoming a lifelong shadow.
If he had not had diarrhea and performed poorly on the math test, he would not have gone to an ordinary college. With those extra few points, he could at least have been admitted to an undergraduate program. Would his subsequent life have been different?
At least it's much better than the current situation, right?
He often thought so.
When a person frequently recalls the past, it means that the present is not satisfactory. ---Lu Xun
He bought a house at the peak of housing prices, had a huge mortgage, encountered an unfinished pre-sale project, was unemployed in middle age, and was diagnosed with coronary heart disease during a physical examination.
Ryan Chen felt that his life was like a curse, and the hemp rope would break at the thinnest point.
As a former IT programmer, who would have thought that the savings accumulated from writing code for half a lifetime would end up working for a bank, and in the end, he would end up with nothing.
The consolation is that he has not found a wife and does not have children, otherwise it would be a disaster to others, although buying a house is to prepare for getting married in the future.
Unfortunately, there is no if. Ryan Chen stared blankly out the window. The rising sun shone in from outside, and the mottled light and shadow were like his swaying life.
Ryan Chen gathered his thoughts and gradually woke up from his confusion.
There is no time to be sad about the passing of time. It’s time to get up and deliver the takeaway!
Suddenly, Ryan Chen's movement of getting out of bed seemed to have stopped as if time had stopped.
Huh? No!
The house he rented had no curtains.
The familiar green curtain flashed through my mind.
Ryan Chen noticed something unusual and looked around.
There is a big-B*tt monitor and an extremely ugly host on the old desk, one wall is covered with posters of stars such as the Four Heavenly Kings, Nicholas Tse, Takeshi Kaneshiro, etc., and there is a long-tube incandescent lamp on the ceiling.
This is his bedroom, his home.
Everything, distant yet familiar.
Is this rebirth?
Ryan Chen quickly walked to the desk, found a mirror from the drawer below according to the position he remembered, and looked at himself.
The facial features are sharp, the eyes are bright, and the face is somewhat delicate. "Wow, Nicholas Tse is so handsome!" This is what I looked like when I was about 20 years old.
Feeling the youthful atmosphere revealed by the pendulum in the early morning, it’s so good to be young, Ryan Chen murmured.
Especially the thick black hair, which made him cherish it even more.
In my previous life, I had an irregular diet and work schedule, and was under great work pressure, which caused me to have gray hair after I was thirty, my hairline rose, and I started to become bald by the time I was thirty-five.
Well, I must learn my lesson this time and never stay up late again!
Ryan Chen expressed his satisfaction with the time-travel experience and gave it a five-star rating.
I just don’t know what day it is.
"Dad? Mom?"
No one responded.
go to work?
While eating the breakfast left on the table, Ryan Chen turned on the TV, which was broadcasting the morning news, and watched it while eating.
Found the information I wanted, February 22, 2002, the eleventh day of the first lunar month.
After finishing breakfast and turning off the TV, Ryan Chen returned to his bedroom.
Since he is reloading the game, he wants a free and wonderful life.
"system?"
Ryan Chen called out in his mind.
For a long while, there was no response.
Yes, the prophet is already the biggest golden finger, who else do you need a bicycle? The appearance of the system in the urban life time-travel novel is too BT. It is no different from one knife to 999 and equipments dropping everywhere. It is meaningless.
According to the inertia of thinking in the previous life, I first think about what to do and then how to do it.
Ryan Chen took out a notebook and a pen and began to write and draw on the desk.
First write your life goal at the top of the first page: a free and wonderful life!
Then set up several milestones below, in order of priority from the beginning to the end.
Financial freedom, happy parents, and seeing unknown scenery.
The first two are easy to achieve, just buy a house, buy stocks, BT coins, etc., all of which are money, but it is slow and boring. Is this the only thing you want to pursue after rebirth? It's a bit of a waste.
Draw a circle on the third goal and think.
Ryan Chen recalled several urban time-travel novels he had read before.
Being a plagiarist?
There are a few words written in the notebook, songs, novels, movies
Copy songs? He was tone-deaf and could only recognize the five musical notations. He could only hum the climax of popular songs and could not even remember the lyrics.
Songs were crossed out first.
Writing a novel? I can remember a few famous scenes in my mind.
Thirty Years in the East
My name is Xiaowu, the dance
Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin
Apart from these, I don’t even know the protagonist’s name. It’s been a few days since I finished reading a novel and I’ve already forgotten what was written in the previous part.
Even if he remembered all the plots, he still needed writing skills to support it. Other people's novels basically had system assistance. As a student who had failed in Chinese for many years, Ryan Chen shook his head and gave up this painful idea.
The novel was crossed out.
Movies? If you don’t have any photography skills, just remember the general plot, and don’t have a system, then it’s a waste.
Be an actor. Without Uncle Chu's talent and opportunities, he cannot endure the hardships of being an extra. Among thousands of extras, he only knows Uncle Chu, and he is the only one who has made a name for himself.
The waters of the entertainment industry are too deep for him to grasp.
The last option is crossed out.
It was really cool and immersive at the time, but now that I am there, I think it is basically not feasible and it is all nonsense.
What else? Ryan Chen thought rapidly.
In my previous life, I worked in the Internet industry for half my life and finally got a job in a big company. Although it was optimized in the end, I really don’t know anything else, so I will just continue to work in it.
After all, he still has some capital in this industry.
Follow this line of thought.
From traditional Internet to mobile Internet,
From web1.0, 2.0 to the current trend towards web3.0;
From the rise and fall of Shanda 9you, to the three-way battle among BAT, and then to the emergence of Xixi and Douyin.
WeChat vs. Fetion, Weibo vs. Weibo, Thousands of Groups vs. Groups, P2P, Short Videos
A few minutes later, Ryan Chen had a target.
Countless waves of the Internet have swept through countless changes and contained countless twists and turns, but he can only be an ant, struggling to survive in the endless waves and having no time to take care of anything else.
This time he wanted to be a helmsman, controlling the direction of the ship and riding the waves to cross the vast ocean.
In this case,
Ryan Chen wrote a few big words on the cover of the notebook.
Major events on the Internet!
All of a sudden, a lot of ideas came to Ryan Chen's mind. The pen in his hand made a rustling sound as he wrote furiously on the book.
Lines of information appeared in the notepad.
While his memory was still fresh and forgotten, Ryan Chen listed all the major time nodes and events of the past twenty years.
Some nouns are vaguely visible on the campus Weibo, takeout and taxi videos.
Now that we have the purpose and the framework, we are missing the most crucial link!
Where to dig the first pot of gold!
Thinking of this,
As a qualified netizen who has read countless rebirth articles,
As a reserve who has imagined countless rebirths and is always ready,
How come there is no plan?
Ryan Chen curled his lips and picked up the pen to write two strings of numbers on the last page of the notebook.
10, 11, 12, 13, 26,
04, 05, 10, 21, 26,
