Why don't you believe I'm a reincarnated person?

Chapter 36 Waiting for the next opportunity to cash out

School life remains dull and boring; only endless practice problems are everlasting.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was already mid-March.

The weather is gradually getting warmer, and most students are wearing T-shirts and school uniform jackets, and their figures, which were originally covered up by winter, are gradually being revealed to each other.

Ye Kai finally improved his biology score, no longer dragging down his overall score. At this point, his scores in various mock exams had steadily surpassed Shen Jiayi's.

"This is outrageous!"

Upon seeing Ye Kai's recent mock exam results, Shen Jiayi pouted so much her lips could hold two oil bottles.

"What's so outrageous about that?"

"Miss Shen, you saw with your own eyes how hard I worked! I did more than three times the number of practice papers!"

"Every point I've earned now is the result of my blood and sweat!"

Ye Kai was unhappy. He said that the words "I'll fight" on his headband were not written for nothing, and he really did what he said he would do.

"You win."

Shen Jiayi was just venting her frustration about losing her position as the top student in the class.

She had watched Ye Kai go from failing to even get into a bottom-tier 211 university just over two months ago to now securing a place in a top-tier 985 university. It would be impossible for her not to feel something about it.

However, Shen Jiayi did not come away empty-handed. The benefit of studying with her deskmate was that Miss Shen also gained more motivation to study, creating a positive atmosphere of mutual encouragement and improvement, and her overall grades steadily improved.

To be fair, although Shen Jiayi lost her first place in her class, she improved her ranking in the entire grade by six places, successfully entering the top ten in the grade.

Ye Kai suspected that with his predictions of the college entrance examination essay materials, Shen Jiayi's final college entrance examination score would likely be the highest in the university, making her a popular figure on campus as soon as she enrolled.

This will undoubtedly be very beneficial for Shen Jiayi's development plan after entering university.

While there are various underhanded practices in universities, it is common sense that if your grades or achievements reach a very high level, all kinds of shady methods will become increasingly distant from you.

"Bitcoin's price has fallen below $2, I can't believe it!"

During the break between classes, Shen Jiayi and Ye Kai talked about a private topic that only the two of them knew.

Looking across the entire Xinghua City, there are probably only two people who know about and speculate on Bitcoin right now, which makes Shen Jiayi feel that she is closer to Ye Kai than Chen Xiaoyu, the school bully from the next class.

"Hmm, this price is about right."

"I plan to buy 10000 bitcoins as usual, what about you?"

Ye Kai bought himself a brand new iPhone 4S. Although he considered the phone's overall performance to be rather average, far from being comparable to the functions of later smartphones, it still had its advantages. At least it could be used for stock trading, and he could also trade Bitcoin directly on his phone anytime.

"Then I'll buy 5000 Bitcoins and just throw all $10000 into it."

Miss Shen didn't particularly care about this matter; she was just happy that she could keep up with Ye Kai's progress while making money.

She only remembered one thing Ye Kai had told her: the funds from selling Bitcoin must be promptly withdrawn and deposited into a Hong Kong bank account.

As for the rest, let fate decide.

I'm naturally happy to have made a profit.

Even if she loses money, she won't lose out.

"Okay, then I'll do it for you."

Ye Kai fiddled with his phone for a while, and in the midst of conversation, he pocketed the 15000 bitcoins they had reserved.

Both of them appeared nonchalant, neither of them taking the $15 billion investment that would be worth twelve years later seriously.

"Ugh, doing coding problems is so boring."

After watching Ye Kai finish, Shen Jiayi lazily raised her hands above her head, stretched out her arms, and then complained to Ye Kai.

As time goes by, most of the questions are ones that people have seen before or have seen similar situations. When people see those questions, they will naturally come up with a variety of different solutions in their minds, and then subconsciously consider which method is more reliable.

As for the students who couldn't do these questions, they were still completely bewildered, only that the questions looked somewhat familiar.

"Who isn't a ruthless coding problem-solving machine?"

"I have a feeling that if I don't change my mindset, this repetitive process will only trap me in simple repetition, without improving my problem-solving approach at all!"

Ye Kai naturally shared the same sentiment.

Although he has undergone more than ten years of training after his rebirth, which has improved his thinking ability in all aspects and given him considerable composure, he still feels powerless when faced with the vast amount of college entrance examination questions.

However, he did remind Shen Jiayi that since the Bitcoin market is currently in a slump again, she could buy some offline, such as from Taobao, and stock up for future use.

As for trading through the forum, Ye Kai didn't even mention it to Shen Jiayi. Those operations were too complicated for Miss Shen and not worth it.

Why buy Bitcoin offline?

"The convenience of accumulating wealth piecemeal is worlds apart from buying from Mentougou."

Shen Jiayi is now used to trading Bitcoin on Mt. Gox and feels that Ye Kai's method of buying and storing Bitcoin offline is somewhat outdated, inefficient, and requires changing the keys one by one, which is very troublesome.

There is no such thing as a free lunch; every meal has a price tag.

"Transactions in Mentougou are relatively convenient, but security cannot be effectively guaranteed. Who knows when things might go wrong."

"Only Bitcoins that you personally buy and modify and save with modified keys can possibly belong to you."

Ye Kai patted Shen Jiayi on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"Is it merely a possibility that it could belong to me?"

Shen Jiayi found it somewhat difficult to understand.

"Of course, there are many unpredictable risks involved. Although they are not apparent now, once the investment value of Bitcoin becomes apparent, all sorts of strange things will emerge, and it would not be surprising if some bizarre things happened."

Ye Kaishi had witnessed those outrageous tactics that followed, and it wasn't uncommon for some countries to use administrative means to interfere or even openly plunder. Hacking techniques were just the most basic kind of operation.

"All right!"

"I'll be more careful then!"

"However, after this purchase, when should we sell it?"

Shen Jiayi said she would listen to advice, but was curious about the timing of the next transaction.

"No rush, let's talk about it next year."

"This time, we're making a medium- to long-term investment."

Ye Kai pondered for a moment and gave Shen Jiayi a somewhat ambiguous answer.

"Big brother!"

"Want to go to the rooftop for some fresh air?"

At this moment, Wei Junjie walked in from outside the classroom, smiling broadly as he extended an invitation to Ye Kaifa.
