A minute later, the commotion on the phone subsided. It seemed she had finished venting.

Chen Hao only then dared to bring the phone closer to his ear.

He plastered on a smile and appeased the Supreme Emperor at home, "I've been really busy, Mom. I miss you."

"Get lost. Are you out of money again? You only remember you have a mother when you're broke. I'll transfer some to you from the bank later! Even though our business is doing better now, you should still be more careful with your spending."

His mother would have a heart attack if she knew he'd spent nearly ten million in the past few days.

"It's not that this time, I have money."

"I'd have to be an idiot to believe you. Why is it so noisy over there? Where are you? How's the internship search going?"

"I found a job at a construction site. I'm calling to share the good news!"

"What? You found a job? Which company? Is it tiring? How much is it per month? Does it include room and board? How are your relationships with your colleagues?" A barrage of questions came from the phone.

"I'm working as a Construction Supervisor. You wouldn't have heard of the company name. I'm at the construction site now, earning 1500 a month. It includes food but not lodging. It's not tiring, and everything is fine." Chen Hao, having anticipated these questions, quickly answered while looking at the safety helmet on his head, fabricating a plausible job description.

He'd figure out how to explain his current situation later, to avoid worrying Second Brother.

"You studied calculations, how did you end up as a Construction Supervisor? Fine, as long as you can support yourself."

"Understood! Completely following the leader's instructions!"

"Even though you're earning money now, your salary won't be enough for entertaining colleagues and such. I'll send you two thousand later."

"Thanks, Mom~ I love you~ Mwah~~"

"Oh, you. Calling more often when you have time is better than anything. Gotta go~"

"Bye, my beautiful and lovely mother~"

Chen Hao hung up the phone.

Good grief, that one phone call made him break out in a cold sweat! Fortunately, he managed to get past the job issue.

With the two major tasks of establishing the company and building the server room completed, Chen Hao boarded a plane, ending his trip to Beijing and returning to Ice City.

His trip, originally scheduled for half a month, was wrapped up in less than a week. Chen Hao was quite satisfied.

During his days in BJ, he didn't neglect the Legend of Mir Private Server Alliance.

Besides remotely managing Greedy Blue Moon Legend daily, he also worked on cooperation for private server franchising.

The number of private servers on the Legend of Mir Private Server Alliance website had already exceeded ten, but none were as popular as Greedy Blue Moon Legend.

He had also earned over a million in franchising fees for private servers.

As more private server merchants joined, Chen Hao implemented a bid ranking system.

Speaking of bid ranking, Chen Hao directly outbid Shanda for the keyword "Legend of Mir" on Baidu, securing the first search result.

Shanda should have noticed by now, but he didn't care. After all, he was making quick money from private servers.

You get what you pay for. The player base for private servers was growing rapidly.

Within such a large pool of players, even private servers that couldn't get the lion's share of the profits from the alliance would still make a fortune just by getting a piece of the pie.

What's more, some shrewd private server merchants had emailed him expressing their interest in purchasing the Greedy Blue Moon Legend private server code. Chen Hao had outright refused. It's my beloved treasure, ultimate, not for sale.

In the first half of April, Chen Hao was busy with company establishment matters.

In the latter half of the month, aside from habitually checking his account balance before bed and launching a new server every three days, Chen Hao spent all his remaining time in his rented apartment writing code, dancing with code day and night, finding great joy in it.

Chen Hao planned to go big. After all, Legend of Mir private servers were a one-time deal!

The Greedy Blue Moon Legend 2.0 Version he was creating this time was an aggregation of the more memorable parts from subsequent official Legend of Mir versions in his memory, forming a brand-new, comprehensive version.

Chen Hao had spent the past half-month revamping Greedy Blue Moon Legend. Under his guidance, Old Ban could now assist with some segmented modules to meet deadlines.

Being both a kindergarten principal and a software engineer, the versatile Old Ban was truly just a tool under his command!

After nearly ten days, it was finally completed with Chen Hao's insane typing speed and Old Ban's assistance.

It took another five days for testing, and under Pang Ban's meticulous scrutiny, the version's quality became increasingly refined.

Chen Hao posted the version update preview on the website three days in advance.

The 2.0 version of Greedy Blue Moon Legend was akin to opening a new chapter in the Legend of Mir saga!

On the last day of April, Pang Ban, after single-handedly testing the functionalities on a second-hand laptop, gave a thumbs-up!

They high-fived, and Chen Hao smiled happily!

Greedy Blue Moon Private Server 2.0 was finally completed before the end of the month!

April 2002 was a busy April!

This month, the revenue from Greedy Blue Moon Private Server officially surpassed the ten million mark.

A memory that the bored Chen Hao of many years later would fondly recall!
