Meeting the Contact

Five days later.

Chen Hao and Pang Ban arrived at The Haven punctually.

They saw five men in black, wearing sunglasses and standing with their hands behind their backs, guarding each side of the entrance.

Chen Hao and Pang Ban were also dressed in suits. They had specifically gone to the Pierre Cardin store yesterday and spent several thousand on two new suits to appear more formal.

Chen Hao tugged at the tie around his neck, which the salesperson had already tied for him. As a programmer, Chen Hao had probably worn a suit fewer than five times in his life.

He felt constrained, unable to move his arms or legs freely. With his laptop bag slung over his shoulder, Chen Hao looked a bit cooler and taller than average, like a top-tier sales elite.

Pang Ban was also wearing a suit and sunglasses. Dressed like this, he blended seamlessly with the men in black on the other side, looking like their leader.

Well, we're color-coordinated with them.

"Is The Haven's welcoming standard this high now?"

Chen Hao pursed his lips and, with suspicion, walked in first.

He immediately spotted the main parties involved in this transaction. Two rows of men in black stood in a circle around five people at a central table, making them quite conspicuous!

Apart from the waitstaff, there was no one else in the establishment, making it impossible not to notice them.

Chen Hao ignored the surrounding men in black and walked straight to the table, pulling out a chair and sitting down.

Pang Ban followed. As he moved, he glanced at the bodyguards opposite them, noting their unsteady footing and feigned toughness. None of them seemed like martial artists, so he paid them no mind and casually sat next to Chen Hao.

The young man in the middle of the other group spoke first, "Greedy Blue Moon?"

Chen Hao scanned the young men opposite him. They all had the look of wealth, and their expensive, though unbranded, clothing gave them an imposing aura. The one in the lead had a defiant expression, likely the leader of their group. "Fahai?"

The secret code had been exchanged successfully.

Chen Hao asked, "What should I call you, brother? We can't keep calling you Fahai, can we?"

A young man sitting next to them chimed in, "This is our Young Master Wu. Just call him Young Master Wu~"

"Don't listen to them. My name is Wu You. Just call me by my name." Wu You stood up and extended his hand politely.

"My name is Long Aotian. You can call me Aotian."

Wu You's expression flickered upon hearing the name. "Uh, that's a good name, brother!"

They shook hands and sat back down.

Chen Hao noticed the cool-looking watch on Wu You's wrist, thinking to himself, I knew I forgot something.

The two parties got down to business.

"Did you bring the money?"

"Did you bring the goods?"

As these two questions kicked off the negotiation, the waiter pouring tea nearby trembled slightly, the tea spilling unevenly.

Sensing that the presence of an outsider was inconvenient, Wu You waved his hand. "You can go. We'll call you if we need anything!"

The waiter bowed, turned, and left with extreme haste. His mind was already conjuring images of a gang shootout. He wondered if he should quit and run. Damn, other places just offer a smile, but this could be life or death.

"Inspect the goods first, then pay!"

"Pay first, then inspect the goods!"

Chen Hao and Wu You's expressions grew increasingly serious.

"Together?"

"Together!"

Chen Hao took out his laptop from his backpack and began operating it.

On the other side, Wu You signaled his subordinate, who also took out a laptop and started working on it.

Three, two, one. Both laptops rotated 180 degrees simultaneously. The sense of ceremony was not to be missed.

One screen displayed a bank account balance of 40.04 million.

The other showed the backend settings page for Greedy Blue Moon Legend.

Seeing that both sides were sincere, Wu You and Chen Hao felt a good first impression of each other during this initial contact.

Chen Hao roughly demonstrated the basic settings functions of Greedy Blue Moon Legend and then answered their questions.

As they talked, the conversation veered off-topic and onto other games. Chen Hao, seeing that this was his forte, launched into a barrage of exaggerated claims, leaving the other group completely mesmerized.

For a moment, The Haven was filled with a joyous atmosphere.

A second-generation rich kid sitting next to Pang Ban noticed that Young Master Aotian was doing all the talking, while the person next to him was constantly looking down at his phone, seemingly indifferent. Could this person be the one in charge?

The rich kid curiously glanced over and felt a sense of unease. Bro, it's a multi-million dollar deal, and you're still playing Snake?

He suddenly remembered a phrase his older brother often said: Great events require composure. It seemed this person had incredible self-control and depth. He needed to make his brother pay attention to him!

An hour later, seeing that the time was right, Chen Hao suggested, "Let's go. Shall we go to the server room to inspect the rest of the goods?"

Finally, they were getting to the main point. Wu You and his companions also stood up.

"Let's go! I can't wait to see it in person."

Seeing Old Ban still playing Snake, Chen Hao patted his shoulder. "Let's go~ to the server room."

Chen Hao left the server room address for the other party and headed out first. Pang Ban followed closely behind, and after exiting, they stood by the roadside to hail a taxi.

Before long, instead of a taxi, a Mercedes-Benz pulled up, followed by three Buick GL8s.

The car window rolled down, and Wu You said with some complexity, "Hey, no, big brother, you're worth tens of millions, and you don't even have a car?"

Chen Hao chuckled, "I didn't have time to get one~"

Wu You kicked Third Brother and Fifth Brother out of the car. "You two, go sit in the one behind."

"Get in, we're all going together!"

Chen Hao respectfully accepted the invitation and got into the back seat with Pang Ban.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the server room.

Lin Lang was already waiting there.

Seeing everyone arrive, he led Wu You and the others on a tour.

Wu You wasn't unprepared; he had hired two technical personnel, one for hardware and one for software. Both were graduates of top universities with several years of experience working for major companies, making them industry experts.

They went through everything, from server configuration and website setup to the various tools for the private server.

Chen Hao and Lin Lang's throats were nearly raw from explaining. Fortunately, the other party's technical comprehension was quick. After answering a few questions, they were able to get the hang of it rapidly.

Wu You and his companions listened to the general overview. Under Chen Hao's guidance, they operated it themselves, casually leveling up their Mage characters by 2 levels and then obtaining a Dragon Tooth.

Two hours later, "This is the overall setup for the private server alliance website and servers, including the Greedy Blue Moon private server source code! I've also specifically left a beginner's tutorial here so you won't forget if you can't remember it right away. Everything is written inside! I'm giving you all the server room website files. You'll be fully responsible for operation and maintenance from now on. We go our separate ways from here, with no further contact!"

Wu You asked his technical experts, and after receiving confirmation that everything was in order.

He brought over a laptop and initiated the transfer. Wu You showed Chen Hao the successful transfer record. "20 million has been transferred to you. For interbank transfers, you should be able to see it tomorrow!"

"Pleasant cooperation. As agreed, you'll be responsible for operations for these three days. Here's my number; contact me anytime if you have issues. If there are no problems, the final payment will be made after three days, and I'll change the income account for the Legend of Mir private server!" Chen Hao handed Wu You a piece of paper with his phone number on it.

"Pleasant transaction!" The two shook hands.

"Let's have dinner together tonight, and then have some fun. My treat!" Wu You invited Chen Hao, who politely declined.

Seeing that his expression didn't seem like mere politeness, and considering that the man didn't even own a car, he probably wasn't a seasoned player. Wu You didn't press the issue further.
