This was the attribute list after Wang Ye’s system was activated.
The moment the system was activated, Wang Ye immediately understood it.
There were no frivolous features except for the storage space. The main function was simple and straightforward. All knowledge and skills related to the military could be transformed into skills upon contact. Once transformed, the skills could be quickly upgraded through continuous learning and training, allowing Wang Ye to quickly master the skills or knowledge.
“This is to make me a warlord!” Wang Ye marveled. Of course, he didn’t resist the idea. If it made him stronger, then it was a good thing.
…
“Folding blankets, three points rely on stacking, seven points rely on cultivation.”
Back at home, Wang Ye started to try it out.
The first lesson in military life, folding blankets.
On the computer, there was a video in which a soldier was explaining how to fold a blanket.
Wang Ye did not have a military blanket.
But it was just for learning, it was not specified that he had to use a military blanket now.
After watching the video, Wang Ye got up from the bed behind him and picked up his own blanket, and started folding it.
Soon, the blanket was folded. Of course, it was not the square tofu block in the video. If the video was tofu, what Wang Ye stacked out could only be bread. Still wrinkled, there was not a single flat place, and no edges could be seen on the bread.
However, Wang Ye’s goal was achieved.
“Folding blanket skill upgraded!”
With a shadow of a thought, an electronically synthesized sound rang out in the next second.
“Skill upgrade successful!” Without too much nonsense, after the system was activated, Wang Ye knew that it didn’t have any so-called intelligence. It only possessed the simplest mechanical program.
He opened the attribute list again.
[Host: Wang Ye.]
[Skill: Military Blanket Folding Lvl 1 (5/10)]
There was an additional skill in the skill list, and there was also an experience bar. Moreover, his experience bar had reached half, and he was very surprised.
However, Wang Ye was enlightened as to why that was in the next second.
In the system, there was a message prompt with two messages inside. The first message was to show that Wang Ye had successfully mastered the skill of Folding Military Blankets, and the second message was “The host watched a veteran teach him how to fold a blanket. Experience points +5. ”
Wang Ye’s eyes lit up.
He looked at the blanket in front of him and immediately turned around to continue watching the video that had finished playing on the computer.
Running over, Wang Ye clicked to start the video again.
It was a beautiful thought, but reality was cruel.
After watching it two more times, he didn’t have any more experience. It was the same even when he watched other videos of folding quilts.
“It seems that this effect only appears when I learn it for the first time! ”
Wang Ye was a little disappointed, but he could understand.
If he could keep gaining experience like this, there wouldn’t be a need for him to practice himself. He could max out his skills just by sitting in front of the computer.
He spread the blanket again.
However, after folding it again, something that stunned Wang Ye appeared again.
“Detected blanket does not meet the requirements for demonstrating skill. Experience points will not increase!”
Wang Ye was speechless. “Fine,” he thought as he got up.
Forget it. Anyway, it was just a one or two days wait. The system had awakened, and he had figured out its functions.
He would fold the blanket after the army distributed the blanket.
Immediately, Wang Ye stood up and went to the computer desk. He took out two USB drives from the drawer. With a thought, the two USB drives instantly disappeared from his hand.
He put it into his storage space.
Wang Ye’s mining operation had grown over the course of the month, and he had accumulated a total of 20,000 bitcoins. Although his computer had contributed to the mining, it was only a small portion.
The difficulty of mining bitcoins increased as more bitcoins were mined, making it harder to mine them. At this point, with just a computer, Wang Ye could only mine about 14,000 to 15,000 yuans worth of bitcoins. He had stopped mining last night and had stored the personal wallet key for his bitcoins in a secure backup on two USB drives.
Therefore, when Wang Ye went out this month, he would go to the internet cafe before his morning run to turn on a computer and start mining. He would lock his screen and log off before leaving for the day.
He only used one computer per day to avoid attracting too much attention and to minimize damage to the graphics card. The computers at the internet cafe didn’t have high-quality graphics cards, so using a different machine every day reduced the risk of problems.
After Wang Ye had mined a total of 20,000 bitcoins, he decided to stop mining as he didn’t want to accumulate too many bitcoins. There were only 21 million in total. Moreover, in order to ensure that it would not be affected in the future, Wang Ye could only keep a small portion so that it would not affect the overall situation.
If Wang Ye really dug up hundreds of thousands of coins, perhaps the future value of the currency would disappear because Wang Ye had dug up too many coins, affecting the circulation later on.
In fact, even if it did not affect him now, it would be almost impossible to exchange such a large amount of money in the future.
20,000 was neither too much nor too little.
If he remembered correctly, in the following year, a programmer in the Eagle Jam Nation would make a foolish mistake by using 20,000 Bitcoins to purchase just two pizzas. This event later became a running joke in the cryptocurrency community, and Wang Ye was also aware of it.
At the peak price of Bitcoin in 2011, which was 460,000 per coin, 20,000 coins were worth over 9 billion yuans but can only be used to buy two pizzas at this time. This was not a laughing matter.
Wang Ye would not make the same mistake, he decided to wait until at least 2020 before making any decisions regarding the use of his 20,000 Bitcoins. Forget selling it at 9 billion yuans. He could easily sell them at 7 or 8 billion yuans, and he would have enough money to live a life of luxury, even if he retired from the army.
…
“I’ve asked around today. Your batch will gather at the armed forces the day after tomorrow and leave for the army the day after. So you’ll come with me tomorrow to pay respects to your grandparents in our hometown and sweep the graves of your ancestors while we’re there.”
Wang Jianjun came back during dinner. When they were eating, he calmly spoke to Wang Ye. Compared to a month ago, Wang Jianjun now found Wang Ye much more pleasing to the eye. At the very least, he had not lost his temper in the past month.
That made sense. Wang Ye had already been reborn, so why would he still make him angry?
“Sounds good.” Wang Ye held the bowl and replied.
At this moment, Xu Xiaofeng also spoke up. “Go and come back early. Tomorrow, I’ll take Xiao Ye to buy more things so that we can prepare him to go to the army!”
Wang Jianjun immediately turned around. “Do you think you’re going on a vacation? You don’t have to buy or bring anything. These things are useless even if you bring them. The army has its own rules and discipline. Why would you buy these things?”
“How can that be!” Xu Xiaofeng looked at him with a little heartache, but Wang Ye was not surprised. “Mom, don’t worry about it. The army provides food and accommodation. I won’t starve or freeze!”
…
The next day, Wang Ye followed his father back to his hometown.
The location of his hometown hadn’t changed, but the house had changed. It was a big villa. Although Wang Ye had also built a bungalow in his previous life, it wasn’t as luxurious or beautiful as this one.
“I heard that Xiao Ye is going to be a soldier. Do your best there!”
“Seriously, your dad is so rich. Why would you join the army and suffer?”
“Xiao Ye, you have to be strong in the army. It’s very tough in the army!”
…
In his hometown, Wang Ye was surrounded by relatives and friends who constantly reminded him of their advice and words of wisdom. Despite hearing these words repeatedly, Wang Ye simply nodded or chuckled in response.
The time had finally come for Wang Ye to leave home. Before their departure, Xu Xiaofeng took the opportunity when Wang Jianjun stepped out for a drive, leaving Wang Ye alone with her to pass him a card.
“My son, here’s a card with 100,000 yuans in it. The password is your birthday. Spend it when you need to. Take good care of your comrades and leaders, and have them take care of you too,” Xu Xiaofeng said, handing Wang Ye the card.
Wang Ye didn’t refuse the gift. He was not in need of money, as he received a generous amount of red packets during the Chinese New Year from his wealthy family. He usually had more than 20,000 yuans at his disposal.
However, since it was a gift from his mother, Wang Ye decided to accept it.
Who would ever complain about having too much money?
