Peninsula 2017: Is the system living in the past?

Two days later, in the late afternoon.

Wangyuan Cave is a small building with an old-fashioned facade.

After a full day of cleaning by a housekeeping company, the interior has been "completely transformed," revealing its original appearance.

The not-so-great renovation looks much better now.

The yellowish light bulbs in the room were also replaced.

Jiang Xingchen stood at the door and nodded in satisfaction.

Although I haven't received a call from Park Jiyeon these past two days, I'd feel much more at ease if I did receive one now.

At least he doesn't seem like a conman.

Then, he stepped inside and entered one of the rooms.

in the room.

Two rows of black steel shelves stand against the wall, displaying 30 GTX 1080ti graphics cards, along with matching high-power power supplies, motherboards, memory, PCIe adapters, and more.

This is his masterpiece after the house was cleaned up.

Using the new regulations on virtual currency management released by China a couple of days ago, he used the 30 million won provided by the system to assemble five fully loaded (6 cards) mining machines.

This is his main source of Ethereum mining going forward.

As for why it's not Bitcoin...

He was worried that he wouldn't even be able to pay the electricity bill!

As for the 5000 million won reward for that outrageous milk delivery task, he made other arrangements.

It's important to know that by the end of the year, it won't just be mainstream currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum that will experience a surge in prices.

Take Binance Exchange, which was only established in July, for example. Binance Coin, the platform token, was only around $1 at the beginning, but it rose to $24 by the end of the year.

A 24-fold increase, that's absolutely insane!

In addition, altcoins such as Cardano and Ripple have also shown extremely impressive gains in the upcoming bull market!

Of course, after initially determining the investment direction, it doesn't mean completely ignoring Bitcoin.

Having a general understanding of the bottoming out caused by the September 9.4th tragedy, he prepared to try his luck with a small investment for a potentially large return.

Bitmex allows investors to use their unrealized profits (paper profits) directly as margin to open larger positions.

This is called adding to a position when there is a floating profit, commonly known as rolling over a position.

He doesn't need to bet all 5000 million won; he only needs to withdraw 1000 million and 2000 million won to invest in Bitmex.

Then open a long position with 100x leverage.

Even if the price only increases by 5%, based on the conversion of 1000 million Korean won to 2.5 Bitcoins, it would amount to a profit of 12.5 Bitcoins.

He doesn't need to invest new funds; he can directly use the floating profit of these 12.5 bitcoins as margin to continue using 100x leverage.

With Bitcoin's bull run from $3000 to $20000, his principal will experience an exponential surge.

It can grow into thousands of bitcoins within a few months.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xingchen felt her heart pounding even harder in her chest.

He walked to the computer tower and pressed the power button.

The system is powered on.

The fan on the graphics card started running.

Thirty graphics cards may not seem like a lot for mining, but the noise they made when they were all turned on at the same time created a rather impressive effect in the small room.

Immediately afterwards, he sat down in front of the monitor and began to execute his grand plan to make a fortune.

Apart from the 20 million won reserved for waiting for Bitcoin to hit its lowest point so that it could be leveraged 100 times, the rest of the funds were used for leveraged trading.

He has already exchanged the remaining 3000 million won for cryptocurrencies such as Binance Coin and Cardano Coin, which are experiencing bull markets.

Glug...

Just then, my stomach rumbled, followed by a strong feeling of hunger.

The sudden hunger made him feel completely drained.

Without thinking, after confirming once again that the mining machine was running normally, he stood up and left the room, heading outside.

He was going out to find something to eat.

As I walked, I was still recalling information related to virtual currency in my mind.

...

...

Evening, Yeouido Hangang Park.

The setting sun hung low in the sky, casting golden sunlight onto the tree-lined path.

Jiang Xingchen, who had specially taken the subway from Wangyuandong to this time-honored restaurant to soothe her stomach, strolled around the park to digest her food.

When they were almost at the riverbank, they found that their path was blocked by a group of people.

Judging from the various vests they wore last time, I guessed that a program crew was recording a show.

Having only seen behind-the-scenes footage on TV before, he took two steps forward out of curiosity.

Suddenly.

All I heard was a "ding" sound beside my ear.

The system's blue light screen unfolded before my eyes.

[Side Quest Released]

[Mission Objective: Resolve the trouble encountered by Lee Ji-eun, a potential S-level stock]

[Task Description: S-level potential star Lee Ji-eun has been detected recording a UCC online audition video to be sent to Loen Entertainment.]

Because the old, borrowed home DV camera was used, its built-in microphone couldn't filter out the ambient wind noise from the riverbank, and the aging wiring caused poor contact, so it can no longer record audio properly.

[Task Requirements: Resolve this problem, ensure successful recording, and issue audition invitations.]

[Task Reward: Beginner Cooking Mastery]

Jiang Xingchen's lips twitched slightly.

S-level potential stock.

Online talent show.

An audition invitation?

In 2017, Lee Ji-eun was no longer the ugly duckling she was when she first debuted; she was already a well-known solo female singer.

If I remember correctly, in a few days, she will release her classic cover album, "Flower Bookmark 2".

They're probably shooting some promotional posters right now.

Also, what the heck is this "Beginner Cooking Mastery" reward?

When does he plan to switch careers and become a chef when he can no longer make it in the entertainment industry?

However, adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, he still took two steps forward.

At the end of the trail, under a large tree, a small film crew was gathered.

Lee Ji-eun would wear a retro floral dress, holding an exquisite guitar in her arms, her brows slightly furrowed as she looked at the in-ear monitor in her hand.

"Hey! How did you check the equipment?!"

The PD, his face contorted with rage as the sunlight reflected off his head, glared at a young man. "In a little while, the best light will be gone."

"The whole team has been waiting all day, are we supposed to wait until tomorrow?"

"There's just static in my in-ear monitor, how is IU supposed to record properly?"

The young man's face turned red from the scolding, and he opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

"Aish..."

The PD grabbed his sparse hair in frustration and looked back at the sun gradually setting on the horizon.

After a few seconds of silence, he turned around and looked at Lee Ji-eun.

I plan to discuss tomorrow's time with her.

"that..."

At that moment, a sudden voice broke the solemn atmosphere.

Wearing a simple white T-shirt, Jiang Xingchen walked through the crowd with her hands in her pockets, heading towards the group.

Before the bald PD could refuse, he had already stood in front of Lee Ji-eun.

"Let me see, maybe we can make it in time?"

Lee Ji-eun was stunned.

Everyone else at the scene was stunned.

A few seconds later, the bald PD's impatient voice rang out: "Sir, whoever you are, please don't cause trouble at this time, otherwise..."

"IU xi?"

Jiang Xingchen seemed not to hear the threat beside her, but tilted her head and smiled at Li Zhi'en.

Perhaps it was the peace of mind brought by those clear eyes.

After making eye contact for two seconds, Lee Ji-eun, as if possessed, handed over her in-ear monitor.

After receiving the in-ear monitor, Jiang Xingchen turned her attention to the little thing.

The reason he dared to take the initiative to solve the problem was because the system gave him a small skill called "Electronic Repair Expertise" when he set up the "Multimedia Center".

perfectly worked.

After a quick check, the core of the problem was identified.

Locate the locking mechanism, press down firmly, and then skillfully rotate the cable half a turn.

"Try wearing it; there shouldn't be any noise anymore."

He casually handed the in-ear monitor back.

Lee Ji-eun put on her in-ear monitors with a slightly dazed look and casually plucked a string on the guitar.

The crisp, clean guitar sound is accurately transmitted.

He looked up in surprise.

"Kamsahamida, may I ask who you are?"

"I'm the president of an entertainment agency. I see that IU has the potential to become a huge star, so I'm inviting you to audition with me!"

"Cough cough cough..."

Standing to the side, the bald PD, who was just about to thank the uninvited guest who had solved a big problem for the production team, choked on his own saliva when he heard Jiang Xingchen's arrogant words.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Lee Ji-eun covered her mouth and burst out laughing.

She simply assumed that Jiang Xingchen was teasing her.

Jiang Xingchen smiled and did not refute.

Regardless of the future use of the "Beginner Culinary Skills Mastery" skill, he has completed his mission!
