At first, he thought he might have hit his head and was hallucinating.
But after closing his eyes, the interface became even clearer!
Chen Wei was now somewhat terrified!
What on earth was this?
Standing still, Chen Wei alternated between opening and closing his eyes, occasionally shaking his head.
"Hey, are you really okay?" the beautiful woman asked again, concerned.
"Oh, I'm fine, thank you," Chen Wei replied absentmindedly, then left.
Feeling dazed, he returned to his residence, bought some buns downstairs, and lay on his bed, still pondering the strange interface in his mind.
The interface didn't always appear before his eyes. It only showed up when he focused his attention on it. When he shifted his focus to the external world, the interface disappeared.
It was strange yet fascinating.
After studying it for a while, Chen Wei had figured out something.
This thing was likely related to the "star" he had seen before.
Although he didn't know what that star was or where it came from, this ability to rewind time seemed quite mystical.
The skill allowed him to rewind ten seconds. Did that mean he could go back ten seconds into the past?
But ten seconds seemed too short. What could he do in ten seconds?
Chen Wei shook his head, thinking the skill wasn't that great. But the next moment, he froze!
Ten seconds!
Ten seconds were enough for him to do a lot of things!
For example, last night's loss. If he could rewind time to ten seconds before the stock plunged, he could close his long position and enter a short position!
Instead of losing over six hundred dollars, he could have earned over six hundred, even more if he leveraged his position!
Excitedly, Chen Wei's hands trembled!
If this skill could really rewind time by ten seconds, it would be incredible!
He could become wealthy!
Chen Wei sat up abruptly, scanning the room. He saw a pen and notebook on the bedside table and grabbed them.
He wanted to test whether this skill system really worked!
With the pen, he wrote a single word on the notebook, then concentrated. The system interface appeared in his mind.
But looking at the interface, Chen Wei felt puzzled.
How did he activate this skill?
There was no button to activate it. Apart from the textual explanations, there was only a large dial in the center.
The outer circle of the dial ranged from 0 to 4320, with thousands of numbers arranged clockwise like a clock. However, the 0 and 4320 were overlapping.
Despite the dense arrangement of numbers, because the dial was directly displayed in Chen Wei's mind, he could clearly see all of them.
Right now, the pointer was at 0, with 1 lit up in bright red beside it. All the other numbers were dim red.
Chen Wei stared at the dial, pondering how to use it.
If it were physical, he could manipulate the pointer with his hands. But this was a virtual interface. Without a mouse, how could he adjust the pointer?
Just as he was wondering how to manipulate the pointer, it seemed to sense his thoughts and moved with a click!
Suddenly, Chen Wei felt dizzy but quickly recovered.
And the pointer on the interface, which was originally at 0, now pointed to 1!
Chen Wei was stunned!
He hadn't moved!
Could it be that the pointer was controlled by thought?
It seemed plausible!
Now that the pointer had moved, the skill should have been activated, meaning he had rewound time by ten seconds!
Chen Wei quickly glanced at the notebook in his hand!
It was blank!
In other words, time had gone back ten seconds. At this moment, he hadn't written that word yet!
"Yes, I'm going to make it! Hahaha!"
Chen Wei jumped up excitedly from the bed!
It took him a while to calm down.
Glancing at the system interface again, he found that the countdown at the top had begun.
The cooldown time was twelve hours. It was now seven in the morning, and by seven in the evening, the skill would be ready again. With the U.S. stock market opening at nine thirty in the evening, he could try using the skill for trading tonight!
Thinking of his ridiculing colleagues, Zhao Yang's criticism, his girlfriend Xu Lili, and his parents at home, Chen Wei's emotions remained turbulent for a long time before he finally fell asleep on the bed.
When he woke up, it was already dark outside.
Checking the time, it was past eight in the evening.
Chen Wei first glanced at the system interface and found that the cooldown had ended. The number 1 on the dial had turned bright red again!
The skill was ready!
Excitedly, Chen Wei got up from the bed, washed his face quickly, bought two buns downstairs, and took the bus to the company.
When he arrived at the company, it was not even eight thirty yet, and there were few people inside.
Chen Wei went to his seat, turned on his computer, and began to browse pre-market news.
It was a habit he had developed.
Although he mainly relied on technical analysis and market trends for intraday trading, reading news could at least provide a forecast for the day's market. Stocks with pre-market news tended to have larger fluctuations and more opportunities during the day.
Other colleagues arrived one after another.
"Oh, are you diligent again? Looking at pre-market news so early?" Zhou Yi arrived, opened his computer, and glanced at Chen Wei's screen, making a nonchalant remark.
Chen Wei replied with a grunt, paying little attention to Zhou Yi, and continued to read the pre-market news.
He casually jotted down a few stocks on the notebook.
These stocks all had pre-market news.
Zhou Yi showed a hint of disdain and said, "What's the use of looking at these now? You better think about finding a job. There are still eight trading days this month. It's difficult to turn positive!"
"Eight days are enough," Chen Wei said calmly.
"Tsk tsk, oh my, are you really so confident? Want to earn two thousand dollars in eight days? Are you awake?" Zhou Yi sneered.
Being ridiculed in front of Zhou Yi, Chen Wei felt indignant, but he didn't bother to argue with him.
Earning two thousand dollars in eight days would have been quite challenging for his former self. But now, with this extraordinary skill, he could potentially earn twenty thousand dollars or more!
