Moving

Shen the Butcher, although Han Yang didn't know his exact position within the Blue Army or why he had stayed in this vegetable market area for over a decade, was clearly no ordinary person.

Mere combat skills were trivial details to him, completely insignificant.

Shen the Butcher looked at Han Yang for a long time. Han Yang kept smiling, looking back at him.

After a long while, Shen the Butcher sighed and slammed his cleaver onto the cutting board. "Alright, then leave a shop for me. I'll sell my meat as usual, and when I have time, I'll be an instructor for your subordinates. Let me see how far you can go."

With Shen the Butcher settled, Han Yang couldn't help but feel relieved.

In this day and age, the only person Han Yang could truly trust was Shen the Butcher.

This wasn't just because of Shen the Butcher's Blue Army identity, which only true idealists and the fearless could maintain, but also because of Shen the Butcher's care for him over the past decade.

Returning home, he soon received a call from Sun Gui. After a brief conversation, Han Yang went out again and met up with him at Aunt Wang's food stall.

At this moment, Sun Gui was full of excitement and anticipation, as if he could already see the scene of Han Yang's Revival Mall flourishing under his management.

"Boss Han, I've thought it through carefully. Considering the actual situation in the vegetable market area, any business we do must focus on being cheap and affordable.

This is what I'm thinking: first, open a low-cost supermarket, mainly selling daily necessities and household items. Then, an affordable restaurant..."

Han Yang said, "Aunt Wang's food stall will also need to move there."

"That won't affect anything. Aunt Wang's is more like a fast-food stall. The restaurant we're opening there will be mainly for drinking. Of course, the dishes and drinks must be cheap. I've observed our vegetable market area; although there are many poor people, there's still a demand for occasionally going to a restaurant for a drink.

In addition, we need to open a clothing store, selling both cheap new clothes and second-hand clothes, shoes, and hats."

Including Butcher Shen's Meat Shop and Aunt Wang's food stall, that made five or six shops. Adding the martial hall, dormitory, and internal cafeteria, it would occupy the entire factory building except for the core area.

"Good, excellent, let's do it this way. You go prepare; if you need money, just come to me directly."

"Okay."

On the other side, Han Yang directly called over Li Hu and Zhao Fu from the Fuxing Gang.

"Starting today, our Fuxing Gang will be recruiting. Height requirement is over 1.8 meters, physically strong with no diseases, and the person must be honest and reliable. We'll tentatively recruit 20 people first, with food and accommodation provided, and a monthly salary of 2000 yuan per person, plus bonuses for good performance.

Also, select 10 brothers from the existing ones, with the same treatment and requirements. Everything else remains the same for the rest. Oh, those ten brothers who protected me before were good, let's pick them."

With food and accommodation provided and a monthly salary of 2000 yuan, this salary was not low in the vegetable market area.

Li Hu excitedly said, "Is our Fuxing Gang going to expand our territory?"

Han Yang glanced at him, and Li Hu immediately shut up.

These 30 people were the full-time thugs Han Yang had prepared. For this, Han Yang needed to pay a monthly salary of 60,000 yuan. This didn't even include the cost of food, accommodation, equipment, and training.

However, as long as it could protect his secret development plan, everything was worth it. Han Yang didn't care about spending a little money.

The Fuxing Base, or rather, the Revival Mall, was thus vigorously prepared. Sun Gui was busy all day, coordinating all the renovation and layout tasks, and it took him a full month to get all sorts of shops opened.

Revival Restaurant, Revival Martial Hall, Aunt Wang's food stall, Revival Clothing Store, Butcher Shen's Meat Shop, and a few scattered single shops like a barber shop and a fried goods store, plus the collective dormitory, totaling seven parts, completely surrounded the core of the factory building.

In addition to their daily training, the 30 full-time thugs were also responsible for the security of the Revival Mall. If anything happened in other areas of the Fuxing Gang's three streets, they could also provide support at any time.

The framework was finally set up. Han Yang knew that the time had finally come for him to move.

He had dozens of large boxes brought in, returned to the small courtyard, and personally packed the computers, drones, robots, and other items into the boxes. Then he had the Fuxing Gang's subordinates move them to the entrance of the factory building's core area.

Han Yang strictly stipulated that no one was allowed to enter the core area without his permission. Anyone who dared to disobey would be killed and fed to wild dogs. Anyway, in this vegetable market area, killing a person or two was a minor matter.

Not only that, Han Yang also adopted technological means and set up several access controls here.

Even the steel plates in the core area were thickened; they probably couldn't be blasted open even with machine gun fire. Han Yang spent an extra hundred thousand yuan for this.

After being busy for a while, Han Yang finally moved dozens of large boxes into the core area, and then it was time for assembly.

Computers and robots were placed on their respective positions according to their numbers. Power was connected, the network was connected, and the computers were turned on. The thirteen computers started working again.

Due to the move, some power-leveling orders had accumulated. And as the reputation further fermented, the accumulated orders were increasing every day.

But Han Yang wasn't flustered at all. Because...

In addition to the 13 computers currently in the power-leveling room, there were still 87 empty positions, which could accommodate another 87 computers + robot sets.

If it weren't for the convenience of later maintenance, which required leaving a maintenance passage, Han Yang could have squeezed dozens more positions into this approximately 150-square-meter room.

Even now, a total of 100 positions were completely sufficient. Even if the chip in Han Yang's head was upgraded again and the computing power further improved, it would still be enough.

Apart from the power-leveling room, the remaining 150 square meters were planned by Han Yang as a research room, ready to place various equipment for researching and manufacturing chips.

However, that area was still empty except for a bed. Because Han Yang was out of money now, the equipment hadn't been bought yet.

"My current computing power can support 27 computers simultaneously handling high-end power-leveling orders. But high-end power-leveling orders aren't always available. Low-end power-leveling orders also need to be taken. In that case, a total of 40 computers is more suitable."

One computer was for Han Yang's exclusive use, for communicating business and searching for information, and the remaining 39 computers were all used for power-leveling.

At this moment, 27 computers plus robot accessories had already been ordered and would be delivered in two to three days at most.

Three days later, dozens of large boxes were again piled up at the entrance of the core area. Han Yang again personally moved them in and spent more than half a month assembling everything.

Assembling the robots was mainly time-consuming. The computers were simple.

At this moment, 40 computers were lined up on the positions. With an order from Han Yang, 39 of the 40 computers simultaneously logged into the game and, under the control of the robots, began their power-leveling tasks at the same time.
