Thank you for joining Ye Chen on his journey in " Billionaire : Started by Buying Bitcoin from Beginning"! This auxiliary chapter is a little space for us to dive deeper into the world, characters, and systems you've encountered so far.
Main Characters Introduced (First 10 Chapters)
Ye Chen: Our protagonist. Starts as an ordinary working man in Magic City, dreaming of a better life. He's quick-witted and adaptable, especially after receiving the Wealth System and the Time Travel Card. His main goal is to use his newfound abilities to get rich, primarily by buying Bitcoin in the past.
Du Xiaoya: Ye Chen's college classmate, considered a school beauty. They reconnect at the Four Seasons Hotel. She's initially curious and somewhat calculating regarding Ye Chen's apparent wealth. She becomes one of his early female companions.
Li Kexin (Li Dazui): Another of Ye Chen's college classmates and Du Xiaoya's roommate. Known for being outspoken and a bit "funny." She has a somewhat comedic past encounter with Ye Chen.
Andy: The professional and attentive one-on-one hotel housekeeper assigned to Ye Chen at the Four Seasons Hotel's Presidential Suite.
Qiangzi: Ye Chen's former colleague who leaves Magic City, prompting Ye Chen to reflect on his own life before the system activates.
The Wealth System: Levels & Mechanics (As of Chapter 10)
The Wealth System is Ye Chen's primary "golden finger." Here's a basic rundown of what we know so far:
Activation: Triggered by a mysterious "Fortune" app icon on Ye Chen's phone.
Core Mechanic: Generates money for Ye Chen every second.
Levels (LV):
LV1: 1 yuan per second.
LV2: 2 yuan per second (upgraded after opening the initial gift package).
(The novel mentions rapid upgrades to LV50 and LV100 in the initial teaser text, but within the first 10 chapters, the progression is more gradual starting from LV1).
Wealth Value:
Obtained through the host's (Ye Chen's) consumption.
1 yuan consumed = 1 wealth value.
Required to upgrade the Wealth System's level. For example, LV1 to LV2 requires 10,000 wealth value.
System-Processed Income: The money generated is legitimate and untraceable, causing no external problems for Ye Chen.
Gift Packages: Awarded upon initial activation and potentially for other milestones. The first gift package contained the Time Travel Card (Bronze).
Key Items & Skills (As of Chapter 10)
Time Travel Card (Bronze):
Source: Initial Wealth System gift package.
Function: Allows travel to the past for a limited duration (within a one-year time limit from the point of travel, up to two times, each trip lasting 24 hours).
Usage: Ye Chen uses this to travel back to August 2010 to buy Bitcoin when its price was extremely low due to a protocol loophole, and then to December 2017 to sell them at a peak.
Note: Time-sensitive, had to be used within 24 hours of receiving.
System-Provided Funds & Identity: When time traveling, the system ensures Ye Chen's current funds are usable in the past and handles any identity/account issues.
A Quick Word on Bitcoin in the Story
The novel uses Bitcoin as a central plot device for Ye Chen's initial wealth accumulation. Key moments include:
Buying Opportunity (August 2010): A protocol loophole caused a significant price drop, allowing Ye Chen to acquire a large amount of Bitcoin cheaply.
Selling Peak (December 2017): Bitcoin reached a high value (around $19,000 in the story), allowing Ye Chen to sell his holdings for a massive profit (100 million RMB).
What's Next? (General Teaser)
With his initial fortune secured and a system that continues to make him richer, Ye Chen's journey is just beginning. How will he manage his newfound wealth? What new opportunities and challenges will arise? And what other secrets does the Wealth System hold?
Stay tuned!
