I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

A month later.

Bitcoin really fell as Chen Xi said.

In fact, Bitcoin began to fall just a few days after Chen Xi’s conversation with Dark.

It was initially $26, but no one paid much attention to it, thinking it was a technical adjustment.

As a result, not long after, it fell below $25.

The situation was out of control and the price of Bitcoin dropped wildly, all the way to $16.

That day, Chen Xi sat in front of the computer desk in the hotel, looking at the bitcoins he had brought back and nodded with satisfaction.

I didn't expect that Dark was so trustworthy.

"The coins have been returned in full. Now it's time to talk about the second bet." A line of words appeared on the computer screen.

"You can hack into my computer and steal my bitcoins at will. It can be said that you know all my information." Chen Xi replied.

"It's natural."

"You said you are a guy who hides his head and shows his tail, doing things secretly in front of the computer. Are you afraid that others will know your true identity? I bet you that I know who you are!"

"Hahaha, you know who I am? Then guess it." Dark in front of the computer was laughing so hard that he fell backwards.

“You’re a hacker.”

"I thought you were going to say something. Let me guess. You must be stalling for time and trying to locate me. I advise you not to do this. You will never be able to find me."

"Haha, you are really a mysteriously confident person. To be honest, my computer skills are average, only slightly better than ordinary people. I have never thought about hacking into your computer." Chen Xi also laughed.

He almost knew the man's character. He was young, confident and arrogant, and felt that he could manipulate everyone.

"You asked me to guess, so I'll take a guess. First of all, you are a hacker, but you are not an ordinary hacker. You are currently abroad, and in North America!"

"Don't try to trick me." Dark replied quickly.

"Then don't talk, let me continue to guess. You are a homeboy, and the concepts of virtual currency and new world you proposed before are actually part of your ambitious plan. You want to build a brand new underground kingdom, a secret and powerful dark web empire! As we all know, the dark web, as a hidden corner of the Internet, has long been a hotbed for illegal transactions, information leaks and various criminal activities. Despite the unremitting efforts of law enforcement agencies around the world, many well-known dark web platforms have been successfully destroyed, such as the once sensational 'Silk Road', but the shadow of the dark web still exists, and there are always new forces trying to fill the gap.

You, Dark, are obviously the core of this new force. You use your hacking skills not only to accumulate personal wealth, but also to realize a grand vision - to rebuild and surpass the Silk Road, to create a dark web platform that is more hidden and more difficult to track. Virtual currency is the transaction medium that you carefully designed for this purpose. It can provide anonymity and ensure the smoothness and security of transactions. It is the cornerstone of building your ideal dark web empire..."

Chen Xi's words caused the person on the other end of the computer to fall into a brief silence.

"Haha, then tell me how you know I'm a housewife?" After a few minutes, another reply appeared on the screen.

"I remember the last time I replied, from the time I logged into my account to the time you contacted me, I inferred that there was a significant time difference between us, about 12 hours. This time difference reminds me of several possible time zones: Eastern Time in North America, including the eastern United States, eastern Canada, and some Caribbean island countries; or it may be part of South America, but considering your language habits and word style, it is more in line with the characteristics of North America... These are all made up by me, hahahaha. If you want other explanations, I can also make some up.

Since you have the means to know all kinds of information about me, then I also have the means to obtain your information, hehe. By the way, can you not see my expression at this moment? Because I have blocked the camera. "Chen Xi lit a cigarette and replied leisurely.

The camera position of the laptop is now covered with a piece of black tape.

"Haha, your prediction of a sharp drop in Bitcoin last time was nothing more than a blind cat catching a dead mouse. Guess again, what the price of Bitcoin will be in the future?" Dark did not say whether Chen Xi's guess was right or not, but instead asked about the price of Bitcoin again.

"Why should I tell you? My bitcoins are in a safe place now, you can't steal them." Chen Xi exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Why? You also said that I am an extraordinary hacker. I am fully capable of launching various cyber attacks on your businesses. Of course, I will not do this because we are not enemies at the moment. Since I am asking you, let's treat it as a new bet."

"What to bet on? Bitcoin? I'm not interested!" Chen Xi typed a line of words with a sneer.

Indeed, at the current price of Bitcoin, he is not interested at all.

"I may not attack you, but I can help you attack others, or provide other assistance."

"Oh? Okay then, I predict that Bitcoin will fall further, and even more sharply than before!" Chen Xi thought for a while and said again.

"What's the basis for that?"

"Before, due to economic problems in some regions, investors began to look for alternative investment options, and Bitcoin became one of their focuses. The increase in investors' demand for Bitcoin led to a rapid rebound in the price of the currency, which once reached a high of around US$30. Then, various rumors spread in various countries recently, causing the price to drop to more than ten US dollars. In this situation, with the global economic recovery and the birth of various emerging industries, investors will definitely transfer their money to other projects, and the price of the currency will naturally plummet."

“So what do you think the price of Bitcoin will be around the middle of next year? When is it likely to recover again?”

"How would I know? I'm not God!" Chen Xi typed a string of words while smoking a cigarette, but he whispered cheerfully, "Why should I tell you? Just because you were the famous Dark King in your previous life?"

He had already guessed the other party's identity. The mysterious man that countries all over the world were looking for in his previous life was the founder of the dark web AlphaBay.

"You are an interesting person. Someone asked me to deal with you, but I didn't agree. You are lucky." After a long time, Dark typed out another line of words.

"Similarly, hackers like you who steal money everywhere and engage in dark web activities are naturally sought after by various countries. You are lucky that I didn't help them catch you." Chen Xi counterattacked bluntly.

"Hahaha, I like you more and more."

"I'm not gay."

"Okay, let's stop here for this time. See you next time!" The last line of words appeared on the screen, and then there was no response.

Chen Xi waited for a while, put out his cigarette, and silently turned off the computer.

In the afternoon, at a film and television shooting base in Huajing.

"Hey, I always feel like something is missing." The director frowned, holding tightly in his hands a few sheets of A4 paper rolled into a stick, and tapping the back of his head with them from time to time.

"Director, I think the costumes are too ugly."

"The props are so fake. Look, the monster doesn't even move."

The two assistants beside him expressed their opinions on the left and right.

"Director, when will it end?" Not far away, a flat-headed man wearing armor and holding a big knife asked impatiently. He had filmed many times, but he could not meet the other party's requirements.

If it weren't for the high appearance fee, he would not be willing to take such a stupid advertisement.

"What's going on? The commercial hasn't been filmed yet, and there are still several scenes to come!" At this time, a man in a suit walked over.

"Mr. Jiang, you're here. We've shot the commercial several times, but I always feel like something is weird..." The director looked at Jiang Yun with a bitter expression.

"Strange? What's strange?" Jiang Yun asked in a deep voice.

“I just thought about it. Others are looking for young artists when shooting commercials, but why are we looking for…” The director said as he turned around to look at the man with a flat head behind him.

"This was arranged by Sheng Xiao Company. They said the young artist looked a little effeminate. Their game is passionate and needs real men to play it. We are in the advertising business, so of course we have to do our best to meet their requirements." Jiang Yun didn't understand what the director was thinking.

"But the result of the filming was not very ideal." The director is a persistent person.

"I think the problem lies not with the actors, but with the lines!" At this time, the young man next to Jiang Yun suddenly spoke up.

"Who is this……"

"Let me introduce you, this is my boss, and also the boss of the Tianya Forum..."

"Hello, Mr. Chen. Hello, Mr. Chen." Upon hearing this, the director immediately shook hands with Chen Xi.

This was also Chen Xi’s first time at a filming location, and none of the staff here knew him.

"Excuse me, is there any problem with the lines?" The director took out the script and handed it to the other party.

"It's too serious, and people can't remember it after listening to it. Advertising is about imprinting pictures and slogans in people's minds. Times are changing, and people need freshness. We can't keep doing those dull things. I think the lines should be changed like this..." Chen Xi picked up the pen handed to him by Jiang Yun and wrote a few lines on the paper.

"This...this..." The director was speechless after reading the slogan.

"Do you want to say it's very unfashionable? There's no way I can tell you the truth: being extremely unfashionable is trendy!" Chen Xi smiled.

ten minutes later.

The man with the flat head sighed, thought about the series of numbers on the contract, put on a smiling face and picked up the big knife on the ground.

"Hello everyone, I'm Chen Dachun. I've acted in many dramas, but when it comes to games, I only like Legend of Mir 2. All the equipment is acquired through explosions, and trading is free. You can earn money as soon as you come here."

"Fine grape wine in a luminous cup, a trip to the Red Moon Nest, this is a brand new version that has never been seen before. Just play it for a few minutes, and you will love this game like me. Come and kill me if you are my brother!"

The flat-headed man waved the dragon slayer in his hand and rushed towards the red moon demon in front.

"Puff!" The dragon slayer fell down, and the red moon demon seemed to be deflated and gradually shrank.

"Is this really going to work?" After the filming, the director turned around with a confused look on his face and looked at Chen Xi, who was covering his mouth and laughing secretly.

He felt that this advertisement was somewhat unreliable.

"My Chinese is obviously very good, why do you want me to speak like this?" Chen Dachun scratched his head.

"This is what the boss asked for." The assistant pointed at Chen Xi in the distance.

"Boss? I originally designed an advertising slogan myself, but the director said no." Chen Dachun threw the dragon slayer in his hand aside.

"What is that?" the assistant asked curiously.

"I am a pheasant, a chicken that hoes chickens. No matter if I am black or white, anyone who can play Legend is a good person!"

"Pfft~ Brother Ji, you've played too many Young and Dangerous roles."

The assistant couldn't hold it in any longer after hearing this.

"No, I can't act in this stupid advertisement alone. I have to get all those Hong Kong artists over here. They pay so much anyway." With the idea of ​​sharing the good fortune, Chen Dachun planned to get a few brothers to make money together.

In a house near their filming location.

"Are you kidding me? Didn't they say they invested 100 million to shoot this movie? And all they have are these props and these ragtag actors?" A woman with a distinctive look pouted in dissatisfaction.

"It's an investment of 100 million, but don't TV series have many episodes? The cost of each episode adds up to a lot. It's up to you to act or not. If you don't want to, I'll find someone else to play the role!" The director waved his hand impatiently.

"But how can a war movie be so idiotic? Teleporting, running faster than a train, and even throwing rocks to make them explode?" the girl questioned, her hands on her hips.

"What's the big deal? I was planning to have people ride firecrackers into the sky!" the director grinned.

"Are you still working? How many years does it take to shoot a TV series?" Suddenly, a young man walked in with a cigarette in his mouth.

When he saw the actress in front of him, a certain part of his pants bulged slightly.

"Mr. Yang, you're here. This woman is sick! She's so picky and I don't know what she's thinking." The director picked up his small plastic stool, diligently put a piece of paper on it and placed it behind the young man.

Yang Dan sat down slowly, looked at the woman in front of him and asked, "Did you pay less or didn't provide lunch? What are you dissatisfied with?"

The woman shook her head. "These are not problems. I am here to film a drama, but this drama is so stupid. It simply insults my image. How can I take on other dramas in the future?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? We are shooting a patriotic educational film. If you don't cooperate, I will post your remarks online and see who dares to take your role in the future!" After saying that, Yang Dan stretched out his hand to pull the woman to his side, but he didn't expect his dog's paw to be slapped away by the other party.

"You...you...are so shameless." The woman stamped her feet, shaking with anger.

"Hey, people like you who just graduated from school have not been exposed to the harshness of society. The entertainment industry is not like other circles. Here, if you know the rules of the game, you can become famous, but if you don't, you will be banned. You look good. I am the investor of this drama. I can let anyone I want to be the female lead. The opportunity is right in front of you. Do you understand what I mean?" Yang Dan crossed his legs and stared at the woman like a rogue.

"Haha, Mr. Yang is so high-class now that he even made a movie. Tsk tsk tsk, openly flirting with the actress on the set, if I post this footage online, who would dare to come to your crew in the future?" Just as Yang Dan was leisurely waiting for the woman's reply, a man's mocking voice suddenly sounded behind him. (End of this chapter)
