Chapter 19: Paid Software (2/2)

‘So sure? Do you think I will agree to go out and meet you?’

‘It’s okay, I can just find you.’

This simple sentence is how much Xia Ye says to other people, but Han Yichen is also a proud hacker, seeing this provocative message, he was immediately stimulated and said: ‘If you are able to find me, I will call you dad.’

This time he didn’t get a reply back, only the address of an online chat room was left on the file. The screen interface was still for a while, leaving only the words of the two people talking just now, showing that a ‘guest’ had indeed visited.

Han Yichen's face was ugly, and he hammered the desk hard.

He cursed in his heart before he went to the chat room!

That night, Han Yichen opened the anonymous chat room with the address.

He still uses the name of Jackdaw in it. This name is considered a small name on virus forums. After entering, he immediately drew a string of welcomes, but half of it was for him, and the other half was curious about him.

Han Yichen waited in this small chat room for more than a week, but he didn't see x appearing. He couldn't help asking, ‘When will X come? Is there a set time?'

Old Ape was an enthusiastic person who has a lot of free time, so he came out and talked with him: ‘I don't know!'

Han Yichen didn't give up, ‘You have been together for so long, why don't you even know this?'

Old Ape sent a string of crying emoticons, and the low-pixel primitive little yellow human emoji could not conceal the pain in his heart: ‘Who said so, I have known him for more than a year and he never tells me when he comes online!’

Han Yichen took the opportunity to provoke: ‘It's too much! Does he even treat you as a friend!!’

Old Ape: ‘Yes!’

Han Yichen: ‘Old Ape, I will be your brother! Come, let's talk privately!’

The old ape was very moved: ‘Okay! Okay!’

Han Yichen worked hard to build good relations with the masses, trying to dig out some information about this mysterious person, while on the other side, Xia Ye was making money.

Boss Wu of Longteng Internet Cafe expanded two more rooms and entered dozens of computers. His business was getting better, as soon as a new computer came and he needed someone to deal with it, he found Xia Ye and asked him to Install some commonly used software in.

This job is not difficult. Xia Ye chooses one to be the controller, and some others become the client mode. As long as he opens it and waits for a period of time, he doesn't have to sit down to debug one by one. He sits firmly on the computer closest to the counter, and then he can see the whole situation. He can finish the work much faster than others and the workload is only a lot more. In order to improve the speed of computers he also made an optimal allocation.

Boss Wu was surprised to see him, and repeatedly praised him: ”Xia Xia, you are really amazing. I always knew that as long that it’s left in your hand, it will be just fine. Tsk tsk, really majestic.”

Xia Ye laughed and said, ”Actually, it's not difficult, How about I teach you?”

Boss Wu immediately shook his head: ”No, no, I have a headache when I see the pile of English letters. Come on, you young people are the hope of the motherland.”

He settled the money for Xia Ye, this time he gave a little bit more, a thousand yuan less.

Xia Ye collected the money, but this time he didn’t leave immediately , standing there looking at Wu Yicheng's small bag tied around his waist.

This bag is the same as the ones used by the street vendors at the night market. It is tied around the waist to collect money, bulging. Now Internet cafes generally charge money in this way. Most bosses put snacks on the counter, or those with business ideas, like the owner of the Xinyi internet cafe, put some cigarettes, alcohol, sugar cubes, and sell a few boxes of instant noodles.

Xia Ye stood there and asked, ”Angkor, do you want me to make your computers to work faster and more accurately?”

Boss Wu froze, ”How accurate?”

”Accurate to every computer, and the time that a computer gets stuck is only a few seconds.” Xia Ye said, ”I wrote a software for myself a few days ago. It is a bit similar to the cashier system in a supermarket, registering the computers and giving people the account passwords. Every time someone comes to surf the Internet, you will be able to see how long they spend online on each computer in the Internet cafe with the machine on the counter. When their time is up, you don’t need to remind people anymore. The computer will automatically disconnect and people will take the initiative to recharge…”

Xia Ye tried to simplify the explanation as much as possible. The software he designed is a charging system for Internet cafes.

Boss Wu was really interested, ”Yes, Xiaoxia, how much is for this software?

Xia Ye said: ”This machine costs 50 yuan a month. I am responsible for its maintenance, the maintenance is free.”

Boss Wu frowned slightly as he heard that 50 yuan suddenly sounded a lot, but there was not a few yuan in a month, and it did save him a lot of time and the calculation was accurate. There are more machines in his shop now, and some people stay on it for a while. Sometimes he can't keep track of each account and often gets confused. This thing is really good for him.

”Okay, I'll try it for a month!”
