At this moment, Han Yang sighed contentedly, leaning back in his seat, feeling that all the hard work of this long period was worth it.

Slightly different from the previous estimate, Han Yang now estimated that compared to the first-generation chip, this new generation of chips did not achieve the original 15-fold computing power increase, but increased by about 12 times.

But even so, Han Yang was quite satisfied.

This meant that if Han Yang went all out, he could even simultaneously operate 27 computers to handle high-end boosting orders. Before, at most, Han Yang could only operate about 2.5 computers.

27 computers working day and night on high-end boosting orders, how huge an income did this mean?

Calculated at an hourly wage of 50 yuan, 27 computers could earn over 30,000 yuan a day, which is nearly a million a month!

Expand the scale, must expand the scale immediately.

But...

Looking at the dilapidated small courtyard he currently lived in, Han Yang hesitated a little.

The small courtyard was too small, with only two rooms. Even if these two rooms were filled with computers, after deducting the area needed for daily life, at most 13 could be placed.

Also, with more computers, there would be more issues. Han Yang even worried that staying indoors all day but receiving large and small boxes of express deliveries every day would attract attention.

It was easier to conceal when there were few computers. With more computers, it would be difficult to hide.

"If only I could have a place that was spacious enough, had water, electricity, internet, and gas, and was also hidden for me to use."

But the rent for such a place would probably be over ten thousand a month. And now, even with the continuous influx of cash from boosting orders, Han Yang had less than fifty thousand yuan left in his hands.

What's more, Han Yang was no longer satisfied with renting other people's places. It was too unstable, with too many accidents.

It would be best to buy a factory building himself, or even build a new one.

This would require even more money, probably hundreds of thousands.

After much thought, Han Yang decided to continue making do in the small courtyard for a while, earn some money, and move when he had more funds.

However, necessary preparations also had to be made.

Having determined the next plan, Han Yang directly posted an announcement on the homepage of his online store: "Due to the expansion of the small store and relocation, business will be suspended for two days. Welcome everyone to visit again after two days!"

Messages immediately started coming in on the online store's communication software.

"Is the boss expanding the scale? Will we not have to queue then?"

"Does the boss hire people? My skills are very high!"

"Boss, hurry up, we're waiting!"

After enthusiastically replying, Han Yang disassembled and packed all the computers, all the robots, and numerous cables, power strips, etc., hiding them away and restoring the room to its normal state. Then he contacted a security company and installed surveillance cameras in hidden places, and also installed iron bars and other things inside the house.

This way, from the outside, the small courtyard still looked dilapidated, seemingly completely undefended against the outside world. But once someone broke in, Han Yang would immediately discover it. Even if they broke in violently, they would be blocked by the iron bars, iron doors, etc., and would not be able to get in for a while, nor would they discover the secrets in the room.

Han Yang did not inform the landlord about any of these modifications, too lazy to waste words explaining.

With the house's security level increased so much, the landlord would probably be happy. If he really encountered a stubborn one, at most he would restore it to its original state later.

In addition to security, Han Yang also bought some computer desks, some furniture and appliances - especially a refrigerator, and rewired the room with electricity and network cables, installed some network equipment, a whole lot of things inside and out.

This series of modifications cost Han Yang another thirty thousand. At this moment, Han Yang had only seventeen thousand yuan left in his hands.

But Han Yang felt it was all worth it.

Before, without a refrigerator, food could not be stored for a long time. Every one or two days, Han Yang had to go out to eat and purchase supplies. But as soon as he went out, the boosting tasks had to stop. Now with a refrigerator, he could probably go out once a week.

In addition, the bed that always creaked was also replaced, and a thick mattress was laid on it. Cutlery, cooking utensils, etc., were also bought in full sets, and the quality of life was greatly improved.

Although these things would probably have to be thrown away when he moved, Han Yang didn't care about this now that he had money.

After everything was tidied up, the newly purchased computer and robot accessories also arrived.

With not much money in hand, Han Yang only bought two sets this time. Including the original five sets, Han Yang now had a total of seven computers and robots available.

Skillfully assembling the robots and computers, placing them on the new computer desks, plugging in various cables, booting up, and looking at the row of computers lined up, Han Yang excitedly updated the store announcement: "The small store's relocation has been completed, and we are now accepting orders normally!"

The moment the announcement was updated, new orders immediately appeared: "Boss, beat the Serpent Emperor!"

"Beat the Planet Devourer!"

"Kill 200 poisonous scorpions on Yellow Sand Star!"

"Okay, okay, no problem!"

Including the previous reserved orders, in an instant, the working hours of all seven computers were fully booked. Seven robots were working simultaneously with a clatter, and in Han Yang's mind, the usage rate of the new generation CPU was not even half.

This was completely unimaginable in the past.

In the evening, Han Yang took meat and vegetables out of the refrigerator, cooked a delicious meal, and lay on the soft and comfortable mattress, unable to help but sigh contentedly.

By 12 o'clock at night, Han Yang checked and found that in just one day, he had earned as much as 5000 yuan.

This was still under the condition of mixing low-end and high-end orders, and intentionally lowering some efficiency in order not to attract attention.

With money in hand, Han Yang immediately ordered another new computer and a set of robot accessories. The next day's income was still around 5000, and Han Yang continued to place orders.

Earn a day's money, order a set of equipment. After a few days, the 13th computer was also delivered to the small courtyard.

After assembly, all 13 planned computers were in place.

At this stage, Han Yang did not plan to continue adding computers. There was really no more space.

Among these 13 computers, 12 were used for taking orders, and the last one was Han Yang's dedicated computer, used for business communication and data retrieval.

With these 12 computers, the current high-end orders could finally all be taken, eliminating the need for queuing. When there were no high-end orders, Han Yang would take on low-end ones, ensuring that the computers and computing power were never idle.

Furthermore, as the shop's reputation continued to grow, the number of high-end orders was also steadily increasing. It probably wouldn't be long before even 12 computers working on high-end orders wouldn't be enough.

But that was fine. By then, Han Yang would likely have moved to a new location and have a greater capacity for taking orders.

On the first day these 12 computers worked at full capacity, Han Yang took stock, and the results surprised him once again.

In just one day, the income reached over ten thousand yuan!
