The blue sky of Tianchi looked bright that day, and the sounds of Pokémon playing around the farm created a uniquely peaceful atmosphere. For Yang Chen, life on the farm with Reba was all he needed. However, behind this simple life, there is another side of him that has quietly built a significant influence in the outside world.
Blue Star, although different due to the presence of Pokémon, has a development trajectory similar to its original Earth. This did not escape Yang Chen's observation. When he noticed this similarity at the age of 12, he began to think about how he could leverage his knowledge of the future to create a more comfortable life. One of the major steps he took was investing in two companies that were just starting to grow at the time: Penguin and Douyin.
Penguin, the technology company now known as one of the giants of social media and gaming in Blue Star, first caught Yang Chen's attention when he read news about its development. Remembering Tencent's success in its home country, he immediately decided to invest most of his savings.
The same applies to Douyin, the short video platform that is starting to gain popularity among young people. By understanding the media consumption patterns on Earth, Yang Chen is confident that Douyin will become a major phenomenon. With strong financial support, he became one of the largest investors in the company.
Now, after years, both companies have grown into giants in their respective industries. Yang Chen's wealth also increased rapidly, although he rarely displayed luxury. For him, money is just a tool to ensure a comfortable and peaceful life with Reba.
Amidst his financial success, Yang Chen maintains a close relationship with his family. His cousin, Yang Mi, is still a famous artist in Blue Star, just like in Yang Chen's home world. He often sees his cousin's name appear in the news or on social media, but they rarely meet due to their busy schedules.
However, one thing remains the same: family love. Occasionally, Yang Mi visits the Tianchi farm to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the entertainment world. She enjoys the peaceful atmosphere at the farm, talking with Reba, and playing with the Pokémon there.
"Yang Chen, I always wonder why you choose to live here," said Yang Mi one day while enjoying tea on the farm's porch.
"With all the money you have, you could live in a big city with much more luxurious facilities."
Yang Chen just smiled. "A tranquility like this can't be bought with money, Mi. Here, I have everything—peace, family, and happiness."
Despite all the influence and wealth he possessed, Yang Chen chose to live a simple life on the farm with Reba. They managed the farm with love, took care of the Pokémon, and lived a peaceful life. For Reba, who once dreamed of becoming an artist, the decision to stay on the farm was one of the best she ever made.
Reba often smiles when she sees her husband working in the field or playing with their Pokémon. Although she knew Yang Chen possessed extraordinary power and unlimited wealth, she loved her husband not for all that, but for his warmth and simplicity.
Their life may seem ordinary to others, but for Yang Chen and Reba, this is true happiness. The outside world may continue to change, with rapid technological advancements and economic growth, but at Tianchi farm, time seems to stand still. Yang Chen enjoys every moment, knowing that he has created a perfect life for himself and his loved ones.
