No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 4 Making Money
Like office workers, students are always particularly energetic on Fridays.

As soon as school was over in the afternoon, several figures in the classroom took off immediately.

"Hurry up! There's pig's hoof flower in the cafeteria today!"

"Lao Du, please bring me a Wu Dalang sesame seed cake and a can of 7-Up."

"It's over, it's over, I need to poop, Brother Hui, go turn on the machine first!"

"Open one for me too!"

……

In the past, Guan Ren might have been among these people.

But today he didn't have the time to spare. He left the school in a flash, his eyes expressing five words:

The Temptation of Going Home

Guan Ren's home is in an old residential area, a seven-story building. It is only about ten minutes away from Jiangzhou No. 2 Middle School, and it only takes ten minutes to run there.

Go out of the school gate, cross the road, and walk through the old street...

The closer he got to home, more and more memories flowed through Guan Ren's mind like a waterfall.

"Huh...huh..."

The old house only had stairs and no elevator. Guan Ren moved vigorously, grabbing the wooden handrails on the side of the stairs for leverage like a rock climber. He took two steps at a time and quickly climbed to the sixth floor. He saw the old brown security door.

He took out the key, inserted it, and turned it half a turn.

Use your knee to push the door panel and give it a final twist.

Click!

The door opened.

Guan Ren pushed the door open and what caught his eye was a scene where time seemed to have frozen.

Cool white walls and ceilings…

Rustic blue floor tiles...

Frosted glass partitions...

Red corduroy electroplated folding stool...

Old curtains hung from hooks, gathered near the silver aluminum window frame. Sunlight filtered through the pale blue glass, casting a few dappled patterns, giving the liver-red furniture a hazy glow.

……

Many things in the room are older than Guan Ren is now.

However, the lighting on the sixth floor is excellent. Coupled with someone's careful care over the years, this small county town nest built in the 90s is bright, refreshing, tidy and clean enough, carrying Guan Ren's almost entire childhood, adolescence and youth.

Guan Ren looked at all this with either warmth or joy, and from time to time revealed a kind smile, as if an old man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life was looking back on his life.

"I'm back."

Guan Ren sighed.

For a moment, I felt like Puyi returning to the Forbidden City in "The Last Emperor".

The Golden Palace where the dragon throne is placed is his bedroom.

squeak-

Guan Ren pushed the door open and entered the bedroom, and the first thing he saw was the desk that had accompanied him throughout his youth.

This desk is also an old item. A layer of green mahjong blanket is first laid on the table, and then covered with a whole glass plate.

Between the glass and the blanket were many small paper objects.

For example, change, membership cards, notes with broadband passwords, etc.

Although this method is not very beautiful, it is indeed very practical and safer than keeping it on Guan Ren himself.

But then again...

Guan Ren looked at the banknotes pressed under the glass plate, blinked, and in his mind came the first and most important thing that the reborn had ever faced:
make money.

------------

Speaking of making money, what was the hot trend in 2011?
Mobile Internet?
smart phone?

These require technology-related things, which Guan Ren didn't know in his previous life and had no interest in. He even has to learn high school math from scratch in this life. Investment requires basic funds, so he is not considering it for now.

Real estate speculation?

Yes, but not necessary.

Because Guan Ren doesn't like it, even hates it.

Rebirth itself is a cheat. All roads lead to Rome. Isn't it too much to be a little idealistic? Isn't it too much to not do things you don't like?

"Blind speculation leads to nowhere. We must first look at the bigger picture."

2011 has passed for too long, Guan Ren decided to review the various information of this year first.

drop--

There was a computer with 4GB of memory in the bedroom, and Guan Ren pressed the power button.

Soon, a wavy Windows icon appeared on the screen, followed by an interface with blue sky, white clouds and green grass.

Guan Ren was slightly stunned. It had been a long time since he had used the XP system.

"Let me check...My Network Places...Dial-up..."

The broadband password pressed under the glass plate came in handy. After Guan Ren entered it, he successfully connected to the Internet and opened an ancient browser called [Window of the World]. The default homepage [Good 123 Website Navigation] was loaded one by one. The ancient atmosphere that came to his face made Guan Ren feel a little unreal.

NetEase Blog, Mop, Zhougong's Dream Dictionary, Body Art, LeTV, Ku6.com... After a quick browse, Guan Ren felt that the entertainment sector was indeed more suitable for the reborn baby's physique.

In 2011, entertainment was actually a big trend.

Admittedly, perhaps for Guan Ren at the moment, the concept of "entertainment" is too broad.

After much deliberation, Guan Ren decided to make his first pot of gold from online novels.

"Word document! Start!"

……

To be honest, when I read time-travel novels before, Guan Ren always felt that some of the protagonists were useless. After being reborn, they didn't do "big things" and just knew how to write novels.

Writing novels in reality and writing novels in novels, there is no pattern!

But when it was his turn, Guan Ren realized that the trick didn't have to be new, as long as it worked. Rebirth and writing a novel was really a good choice.

Especially for someone like him who traveled through time and space to become a student, writing novels can satisfy many requirements.

such as:

I have flexible working hours and space, I enjoy the job, I have enough skills to do it, and the pressure is relatively low...

The most important thing is that Guan Ren also wrote novels for a period of time in his previous life.

It's just that he was born at the wrong time and entered the industry too late. The few romantic novels he wrote were banned as soon as they achieved some success, and he spent money in vain without earning anything.

"Ugh…"

Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes.

But! This life is different!

In 2011, the online literature industry is gaining momentum, with a broad stage and great potential.

So, all in all, the most suitable career for making money and pioneering new land is really novel writing.

As for how to write, where to start, what type to write...

This requires more research.

"You can't eat hot ass in a hurry, so let's eat first."

After being reborn in high school, the thing I have the most is time.

Guan Ren was not in a hurry to achieve success. He simply packed up the things in the house, checked his pockets, and took what he needed. In short, he went out to find food first.

--------

At the same time, in a teachers' community near the back door of No. 2 Middle School.

“Is the saltiness appropriate?”

"Ah."

"Is this enough for dinner? Do you want to cook some more?"

"enough."

At the dinner table, two figures sat opposite each other. After a few simple conversations, they silently began to eat the clear soup noodles in their respective bowls.

"..."

As soon as Gu Youli put the noodles into her mouth, her chopsticks paused at her lips.

this smell...

Still as hard to describe as always...

"How's it going? I tried adding some Litsea cubeba oil today."

Litsea cubeba oil…

what is that?
At least Gu Youli had never heard of it.

She raised her eyes slightly and looked at the pretty face in front of her that looked very similar to her own, but a little more mature. In the end, she swallowed a small sip silently as usual.

"Ah."

The person who invented "嗯" is really a genius. Gu Youli likes to use this word very much.

It can express "I heard what you said" and can also blur the judgment when the other party asks about right and wrong.

"By the way, I heard from Teacher Li today that Guan Ren wrote you a note."

"..."

"If you want to change seats, I'll go talk to Teacher Li."

"I understand, sister. I'll think about it."

Gu Youli took a deep breath and put down her chopsticks:

"I'm going to evening study first."

"Don't you want to eat?"

"full."

"Okay, remember to review the last test paper during evening study. The monthly exam will be before National Day... Chinese is a big subject. You're in your second year of high school now, so don't let it keep getting weak."

"Ah."
