University Entrepreneurship, Brain Blockchain Founder

Whew!

"Five days after birth in infancy have already been rewritten."

After the three of them discussed their respective schedules for the afternoon, Zhu Zhengwei went to wash up. His body felt itchy, as though something deep within his genes was shattering and reorganizing along with his soul.

He did not know whether it was an illusion, but his skinny body seemed to have grown a little stronger as well.

"It changed after only five days. This can't be an illusion, can it?"

"Could it really be like in those novels—innate fetal qi?"

"Or is that period right after birth some kind of golden age, where just five days can affect a person's entire body for the rest of their life?"

He shook his head, tidied himself up, and headed out.

"The dreamscape of the deeper world isn't lasting, and its territory isn't large either."

He began calculating inwardly.

"The map is small, with only the house where I was born, because I'm the only one maintaining it."

"Then is it possible to link up other people's brains and have them operate my Zhujing Village map, with me as the 'Cloud Server'?"

"Find some classmates and build a Dream Realm Local Area Network?" Zhu Zhengwei blinked as he watched the students coming and going around the teaching building. He suddenly recalled the blockchain jargon from the crypto world that his roommate Li Xiang had always been studying:

P2P Network Technology,

Distributed Data Storage,

Decentralized Database,

Mining Machines, mining,

Coin Speculation, Reaping the Leeks (crossed out)

If his dream were compared to a massive game world, then he himself was the computer host.

Then he could absolutely make other people's brains into hosts too—forming a Blockchain, brain-based Distributed Data Storage, a Decentralized Database, with brains serving as Mining Machines to mine and expand the Dream World's territory for him??

Secondly.

He had his own Root Dreamscape of Life: a house, his parents, and his older brother.

They also had their own "Root Dreamscapes of Life," each containing the homes from when they were born, as well as their relatives. They could form households and villages, filling out the world.

Because he possessed that mysterious Dream Gate, he could receive feedback in reality. He only needed to keep them from passing through his door, so they would not feed back into reality. It would be enough for them to forget what happened in the dream after waking up.

They would merely be NPCs in the Dream Realm Local Area Network, Blockchain Miners.

"University students are encouraged to start businesses these days. Right before me is a bold business plan. Am I the Brain Blockchain Founder?"

Dreams could be played like this? Damn, that was a little exciting.

Zhu Zhengwei's breathing quickened. "This method could even fill out Zhujing Village in one go, filling out a huge swath of territory around all of Shancheng City!"

That was highly possible.

Why?

Because Shancheng City was a second-tier city, while the university itself was third-rate.

Basically, most of its students were locals from nearby villages, towns, and cities.

Using the Root Dreams of local students, he could even form a map of the local area from "twenty years ago," enough to complete the Dream Map of the entire surrounding region.

"And as countless people join the Dream Realm Local Area Network, the World Computing Power will surge. Their understanding of the real world, their inherent memories, will perfect the foundations of the entire world. At that point, it will become almost exactly like reality."

A completely real second world, with identical logic and laws—a Human Brain Blockchain World that stood above reality!

If he ran simulations and researched things in that world, could they not be fully realized in reality as well??

Perhaps some joking remark would completely come true: crypto mining changes the world and creates a New Civilization for the world!

His breathing quickened!

His expression tightened!

One unbelievable thought after another erupted in his mind, colliding and sparking. His Farmhouse World seemed like a sapling that would one day grow into a towering tree.

The old Zhu Zhengwei had bitterly condemned those rogue crypto-mining viruses that harmed other people's computers!

But the situation before him was entirely different.

"As the saying goes."

"Computer mining causes damage."

"The more a human brain is used, the more flexible it becomes."

"My grandma told me when I was little: it's people who don't use their brains that rust easily."

Zhu Zhengwei narrowed his eyes and sat in the back row of the classroom, looking serenely at the students before him who were slacking off, playing on their phones, and sleeping.

The academic atmosphere at this third-rate university was far from strong.

Only the few people in the front row listened attentively in the multimedia classroom. Most of the others slacked off and killed time, only cramming desperately when exams approached—and even then, most of them still failed.

Dorms with such intensely hardworking and competitive atmospheres as Zhu Zhengwei's were, after all, a minority.

But now?

It did not matter if they liked to slack off during the day. At night, he could help train their brains. It would be like leveling up while offline; their minds would surely become more flexible, greatly benefiting their future studies and work.

This could continuously develop the potential buried deep within their brains. Any one of them could become the next Einstein, deeply developing their brains.

"They work for me and make money for me, while I provide them with work that trains their brains. It's a win-win situation."

At that moment, as Zhu Zhengwei looked at his classmates, he only felt that this plan was brilliant!

Previously, Zhu Zhengwei had always entered other people's dreams.

For the next stretch of time, Zhu Zhengwei planned to begin researching reverse engineering: making other people enter his dreams and forming a Local Area Network.

It could even be said that it was not a dream, but an immense dream world gradually taking shape around him as its hub. As long as they fell asleep, they would be pulled into this world.

They would serve as human brain servers, mining for him and providing computing power for the Dream World.

"Should I try it?"

Over the next three days, he selected the first batch of Mining Machine servers.

There were not many—just over fifty people.

These fifty-odd people had been deliberately chosen.

After lurking around for several days, Zhu Zhengwei had already infiltrated the school's [Zhujing Village Hometown Group]. It had over fifty members, and every single one had successfully made it onto Zhu Zhengwei's Assassination List.

As a local third-rate university that even had junior college programs, its admission score was extremely low. So long as one's grades were not utterly terrible, one could basically get in, resulting in quite a few students from Zhujing Village.

After looking into it.

They were roughly the same age as Zhu Zhengwei, in their early twenties.

This meant that their Root Dreams all pointed toward Zhujing Village around "twenty years" ago.

With them at the center, their Root memories were enough to initially form the past generation of Zhujing Village: its surrounding areas, villagers, environment, and farmhouses.

"My Novice Village for farming Initial Accounts, Zhujing Village—it's going to be complete, isn't it?"

Zhu Zhengwei suddenly thought of a famous martial arts cultivation game.

"In the Novice Village where I was born, I can fish, chop wood, mine, and farm all kinds of innate talents?"

"This actually sounds pretty great." Zhu Zhengwei felt rather pleased.

That night, at the other end of the dorm room.

"Darling, I love you! Love you so much! Mwah!"

In the dorm, Zhang Xia chatted sweetly with his girlfriend over the phone. Only after the lights went out did he reluctantly go to sleep.

In the darkness, Zhu Zhengwei looked at the dreamy Deep Sea Consciousness World filled with bubbles. He pulled at the bubble belonging to Zhang Xia, his designated Mining Machine, passed through the mysterious Brain Gate deep within his consciousness, and entered his own Root Dream.

"The first server in the Local Area Network."

Splash!

Yet he was met with a powerful instinctive rejection from the other party.

"Although I've already planted the seed, his subconscious is rejecting entry?"

Zhu Zhengwei frowned. "After all, he's entering an unfamiliar world of consciousness. It's only natural for his physiological instincts to be on guard."

"Like a computer's automatic firewall."

He thought for a moment about how to break through Zhang Xia's psychological defenses and make him less resistant. Then he instantly remembered the dreams of his two idiot roommates.

"Sex appeal!"

He would tempt him with an Erotic Dream.

No one could remain unmoved in the face of such temptation. His mind would inevitably lose its guard, allowing Zhu Zhengwei to pull him in.

With a wave of Zhu Zhengwei's hand, the entrance to his dream became a Red Light District.

A group of pretty young women stood at the entrance. Some were graceful and generous, some innocent and adorable, some charming and seductive. Every type of personality was represented as they called out, "Come play with us, handsome!"

At the entrance for women, the genders were reversed.

All sorts of pretty boys, Tough Guys, and Muscular Golden Wheels made the place impossible to resist!

Sure enough.

Zhang Xia stood at the entrance and saw several women there. His eyes immediately lit up, as though he had been possessed. "My first love, my second ex-girlfriend... why are you all here?"

Damn it.

He was only a freshman. How was his love life this rich?

From afar, Zhu Zhengwei's face darkened slightly, but he quickly returned to the matter at hand. "I successfully lured him in. This method seems pretty good. His psychological defenses have dropped drastically. In the future, I can make the dream entrance into this Brothel Gate."

But then his thoughts shifted, and a terrifying thought arose in his heart. Wait, this is bad! The method is good, but they'll all wet the bed during the day.

A whole university dorm building collectively wetting the bed would be an extremely serious matter.

Just imagining that scene was too beautiful to look at.

Zhu Zhengwei could only abandon the idea. He did not want to make the news tomorrow. But with this classmate already on the brink, Zhu Zhengwei chose to stop him.

The two girlfriends on either side instantly pulled out two woodcutting knives and revealed cold smiles.

Zhang Xia: "???"

He was instantly dumbfounded. His scalp went numb, and his desire withered away.

Pfft!

Zhang Xia broke out in a cold sweat, staring blankly around him. His consciousness was still somewhat muddled in the dream. "Just now, I was holding my ex-girlfriend in my left arm and my current girlfriend in my right, reaching the peak of my life. How did it suddenly become...?"

Zhu Zhengwei looked at the dazed test subject before him and fell into thought as well.

Although this method was the best, the "side effect" of wetting the bed in broad daylight was simply too severe.

He suddenly recalled another idiot roommate's dream. It was highly informative too. "The goal is only to make them lower their psychological defenses. It has to be something familiar from their daily lives. How about this?"

The scene before Zhang Xia suddenly changed into a game character creation screen.

[Welcome to Mortal World]

A game?

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xia was instantly overjoyed. He rushed in even faster than he had been tempted by the girlfriends at the entrance, taking the bait immediately.

"This game looks pretty good." He began showing off his skills on the character creation screen, eager to get started. "Mm! My face needs sword-like brows! And I need to be tall!"

One look told Zhu Zhengwei that he was an experienced player. He got into the gaming mindset quickly and instantly clicked [Enter Game].

"Good. This method got him in too. He took the bait."

Splash!

The next moment, Zhang Xia pushed open a mysterious Brain Gate.

Countless brain fluids and neurons streaked past behind him like meteors. Invisible, bizarre tentacles spread out as the Deep Sea Consciousness World, suddenly released from deep within his genes, seemed to be violently pierced through by him!

He saw his own birth when he was little, the earliest scene buried in his memories, his Root Dream.

"Is this when I was little?"

But he discovered that his character creation had done absolutely nothing.

He still looked exactly like he did in childhood photos!

"What a scam! Even dreams trick people! I customized my face for nothing!" He was about to shout.

Boom!

But then he discovered in even greater terror that his consciousness was blurring and his memories were fading.

His parents were chatting happily beside him as well. In the end, Zhang Xia completely lost his memories and began crying like an ordinary infant.

"Young people really are foolish. It's just a fake character creation screen at the start. The customization is only for reference. I'm merely bringing you in to serve as NPCs on my Zhujing Village map—no, to train your brains." Zhu Zhengwei thought to himself.
