Chapter 1: The Mobile Phone in My Mind

Recharge 5000 yuan for phone credit and receive a refurbished iPhone 4S!

If it were someone else, they definitely wouldn't buy it. Since there is 5,000 yuan, why not buy a new one? Spending so much money on a refurbished machine is not very appealing! Usually, Ye Yang wouldn't care about such advertisements, but this time, he was particularly tempted!

Ye Yang slapped his forehead, realizing that those who traverse and are reborn usually have cheat devices! Did he have one? After checking, he indeed found one! Ye Yang discovered that there was a phone in his mind, specifically that troublesome IPHONE4S. Although he had many complaints about this frustrating phone, at this moment, Ye Yang was still overjoyed!

First, Ye Yang checked whether he had the memories of the original owner, and indeed he did! The original owner of this body was also named Ye Yang, and he was an orphan. Because university education is compulsory in this world (limited to public schools), Ye Yang, despite being without parents since childhood, was still able to complete his university education without financial worries, as the state covered the tuition fees.

After recharging 5,000 yuan of phone credit and finally obtaining the long-desired iPhone 4S, Ye Yang hurriedly rushed home with great anticipation to thoroughly explore his new phone. However, a tragedy occurred; the phone leaked electricity while charging. Coincidentally, Ye Yang was holding the phone and examining it at that very moment. In the final instant before leaving this world, Ye Yang's only thought was that he would never buy second-hand goods again, as cheap items are often of poor quality

"It's settled, it's settled, I have my own plans!" Ye Yang lifted his head from the computer, ran his fingers through his messy hair, and turned to chat with his roommate Wang Huirong, "How has your work at the television station been lately?"

After spending a whole morning browsing the second-hand mobile phone refurbishment market, Ye Yang was attracted by an advertisement

"Lao San, why are you still hunched over the computer every day? This is not a solution. Graduation is just around the corner, and if you don't start planning your future soon, it will be too late!" Wang Huirong looked at his roommate, who was as usual engrossed in the computer, and couldn't help but express his frustration at his homebody lifestyle.

Ye Yang noticed that everyone around him, whether wealthy or not, was using the iPhone 4S, while he alone was using a Nokia. Driven by a slight sense of vanity, Ye Yang decided to save and scrimp in order to purchase an iPhone 4S

However, a loser is still a loser; the price of the iPhone 4S is not a small amount for Ye Yang. He would have to save and scrimp for at least three to four months to afford one! In fact, the features of the iPhone 4S are secondary to Ye Yang; he simply wants to show off his wealth. Therefore, adhering to the principle of saving wherever possible, Ye Yang decided to purchase a second-hand refurbished model.

In his eagerness, Ye Yang began to examine what remarkable features this iPhone 4S possessed

Do not rush to sign a contract with the television station; who knows, I might be able to support you in the future!" Ye Yang laughed heartily as he patted Wang Huirong's shoulder, "What is there to seek in a trivial job at a small television station? A real man should create his own career!"

Reborn in a world where the entertainment industry thrives, Ye Yang's luck is quite good. After all, the work he has always engaged in is that of an online ghostwriter, which can be considered a part of the entertainment industry, albeit a somewhat dispensable one. Nevertheless, he has always regarded himself as a member of the entertainment circle. Upon arriving in this world, Ye Yang feels that his talents can finally be put to use

People in this world do not need to worry about food and drink at all, because the issue of food is not a problem in this world. The productivity here is very high; it is not a myth that one acre of land can support ten thousand people. Therefore, there is no phenomenon of begging on the streets, as the state will take care of every individual.

Once material needs are no longer a concern, people naturally begin to pursue spiritual life. Consequently, the entertainment industry has flourished in this world, with at least half of the population engaged in jobs related to entertainment, such as artists and celebrities, directors and screenwriters, as well as makeup artists and photographers. If we include workers in record production factories, this proportion can reach 55%. Furthermore, if we consider the development of peripheral industries related to animation and film and television dramas, this population ratio can rise to 70%.

Ye Yang has been in this world for three years. More than three years ago, Ye Yang was a typical loser on Earth, with the only job being to sit in front of a computer, writing entertainment news reports, and occasionally acting as a ghostwriter to criticize or promote others. Although this job did not pay much, it was sufficient to support himself without any issues, and it was quite free. Ye Yang enjoyed this carefree lifestyle.

Upon seeing this advertisement, Ye Yang was immediately intrigued! What does this mean? It implies that by paying the future phone bill in one lump sum, one can receive a free iPhone 4S, even if it is just a refurbished model

However, a new question arises: how can the utterly incompetent Ye Yang make a mark in this world dominated by entertainment? It is important to note that the more prosperous the entertainment industry is, the greater the competition within it! He only knows how to play the guitar, and even that is at a mediocre level. He is familiar with staff notation and simplified notation, can recognize do-re-mi, but does not understand how to connect them together

Secondly, Ye Yang took a moment to understand the state of this world. In case it was inadvertently an apocalyptic scenario with zombies outside, it would be disastrous. However, Ye Yang's luck was quite good; the world he was reborn into was similar to his original world, but even more stable and harmonious. Unlike the harmonious image promoted by the media in his previous life, this world was genuinely harmonious

Don't mention it, as an extra, I haven't even had a chance to appear on screen. However, it's fortunate that I have a good relationship with my direct supervisor. After graduation, if I leverage those connections, I might be able to secure a job at the Electric and * Picture * Television Station!" Wang Huirong felt somewhat dejected, clearly lacking confidence in his future

Scientific research remains important in this world, but it is ultimately the work of a minority. The majority of people will spend their lives engaged in the entertainment industry. A small number of individuals who contribute nothing and merely exist will also be supported by the state to produce material goods to meet the needs of the majority. Of course, such individuals are not needed in large numbers; the criminals in prisons are more than sufficient.

Watching Wang Huirong's departing figure, Ye Yang let out a sigh and began to contemplate his own future

"Come on, it's easy for you to say. You should think about how you spend all day in your dormitory doing nothing. What will you do after graduation? Are you really going to become a worker?" Wang Huirong packed his clothes, shampoo, and shower gel, holding a basin. "I will go take a shower first; I've worked up a sweat. Tonight, when the second and fourth brothers come back, we will go out for a meal!"

When Ye Yang woke up again, he had already become a freshman in this world. Rebirth? For a seasoned otaku, this was not unfamiliar, so Ye Yang was only surprised for a second before he began to confront this completely unfamiliar new world based on his past experience of reading novels.
