Within the 39 monitors, light and shadow flickered, displaying various scenes from the game Cosmic Warfare, images of different planets, and a constant stream of various monsters.

All of this was transmitted through the cameras on the robots, relayed to Han Yang's mind, where he made real-time judgments and decisions, which were then sent back to the robots and input into the computers through the manipulation of the mechanical arms.

The 39 game characters fought fiercely in the game world.

In the power-leveling room, besides the hum of the computer cases, the sound of the mechanical arms moving, and the clicking of keyboards and mice, there was no other sound.

This scene had a somewhat eerie quality to it. But in Han Yang's eyes, he saw it as the beauty of industry and order.

Out of the 39 power-leveling orders, 22 were high-end orders and 17 were low-end orders, together accounting for about 90% of Han Yang's computing power.

The last remaining computer was also busy. Although this computer wasn't running a game, it had over twenty chat windows open. The robot operating this computer moved its two mechanical arms frantically, chatting with over twenty customers simultaneously.

For every chat window, Han Yang clearly remembered what the customer had said before and what they were asking, without any confusion. When a message arrived in a window, the mechanical arm would immediately click on it with the mouse. After just a few milliseconds, Han Yang could understand the customer's request and, in the same few milliseconds, decide what to reply.

The mechanical arm rattled on the keyboard, and in just a few seconds, it had drafted the reply and sent it directly. When a message arrived in the next window, it would immediately go to check that window.

Clicking open a window, Han Yang saw a customer had sent a message: "Your store replies so fast, the efficiency is so high. How many customer service staff do you have?"

Han Yang, who was sitting leisurely nearby, studying a chip structure diagram, a smile appeared on his face. With a thought, the robot immediately replied: "Dear, our small store adheres to the principle of putting the customer first and serving customers wholeheartedly. We will respond to any of your requests as quickly as possible. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"No, I've already confirmed receipt and given a five-star review~ I'll come back to you for more orders."

"Thank you for your support of our small store. Here's a 5 yuan off coupon for purchases over 100 yuan. Welcome back!"

"There are coupons too? Hahaha, okay, I definitely will."

Here with Han Yang, it was absolutely impossible for customer service to be overwhelmed and delay replies.

While chatting in over twenty windows simultaneously, a webpage was even open on the right side of the computer screen. It was an online learning website for a certain university, where a bald professor was explaining the basic concepts of chip design.

In the power-leveling room, the 40 computers worked non-stop like this. From time to time, orders would finish, and the power-leveling computer would quickly exit the game, seamlessly log in with the game account for a new order retrieved from the database, and the business computer would quickly find the corresponding customer and send an order completion notification.

The number of high-end and low-end orders was not stable, but constantly fluctuating. Sometimes there were more high-end orders, and Han Yang's computing power utilization would be a bit higher, and vice versa. However, under Han Yang's deliberate control, it would never exceed 95%, always leaving some capacity to handle daily affairs and study knowledge.

Time flew by quickly. Soon, the first 24 hours since moving into Fuxing Base, with all 40 computers running at full capacity and officially starting the power-leveling business, had passed.

Han Yang immediately took stock.

"A total of 189 high-end orders were completed, with a total income of 21,556 yuan. 236 low-end orders were completed, with a total income of 8,056 yuan. Together, that's 29,612, almost 30,000!"

Compared to when he was in the small courtyard, Han Yang's daily income had nearly tripled!

"Almost 30,000 a day, that's just under 900,000 a month, and over 10 million a year! Even after deducting costs like electricity and internet fees, the annual income still exceeds 10 million!"

An annual income of 10 million was considered top-tier in the entire human world. And the means by which Han Yang achieved all this was merely 40 computers.

The biggest cost of the power-leveling business was actually not equipment, but labor. In other game studios, perhaps eight million out of a ten million profit would go towards salaries.

For example, to operate these 40 computers manually, Han Yang would have to support a power-leveling team of at least 100 people, and a customer service and logistics team of 10 people. Because he took on more high-end orders, the power-levelers' salaries would also have to be high, at least 5,000 yuan or more per person per month.

But now, all these costs were saved.

"For me, the income from the power-leveling business is indeed substantial."

Han Yang couldn't help but sigh: "Just right, the power-leveling business is also low-key enough that those big bosses and rich people don't even look at this small amount of money, too lazy to earn this little bit. This way, I won't have competition or conflict with them, allowing me to make money quietly."

The power-leveling market was very, very large. According to Han Yang's estimation, his current scale, just for the game Cosmic Warfare alone, hadn't even captured 1% of the market share. And in the current human world, there were countless online games.

Although Cosmic Warfare was popular, it was hard to say it accounted for 1% of the entire online game market.

Overall, this was a market with broad prospects.

"I still need to speed up chip research and improve computing power as soon as possible. Only by capturing more market share can I earn more money and afford a spaceship."

Han Yang's entire plan was actually very simple.

First, save money. Once he had enough money, he would buy the most advanced spaceship the Ita were willing to sell, and first go to a place on the edge of the solar system where the Ita's supervision was weak. There, he would find a distant, cold dwarf planet and build a production base first.

After building the production base, he would then figure out a way to modify this spaceship into an interstellar spaceship, and then pilot it to other star systems where there were no Ita.

Only then could he develop without restrictions.

Saving money was the first step of all plans.

But... a regular spaceship cost as much as one billion yuan. A spaceship that could travel beyond Pluto would cost at least five billion yuan. Including the various mechanical equipment he would need to purchase, and for concealment and disguise, his total assets would need to be in the tens of billions.

Earning nearly 30,000 a day, with an annual income of over 10 million, seemed like a lot, but compared to Han Yang's plan, it was still too slow, too slow.

Leaving the 40 computers to continue working and learning, Han Yang passed through several security gates and left the core area.

He first went to the Revival Restaurant for a meal, then looked around the entire Fuxing Mall, and seeing that everything was orderly and on the right track, Han Yang came to the conference room with satisfaction.

"Hello, Boss Han."

Li Hu, Zhao Fu, Sun Gui, Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang, Shen the Butcher, and the subordinates of Black Three from before, who Han Yang had come to understand during this time and deemed trustworthy to a limited extent, a total of about twenty people, were all sitting here.

Seeing Han Yang arrive, these people immediately stood up simultaneously and respectfully greeted Han Yang.

Han Yang smiled and said, "There's no need to be so formal in the future. The main reason I've gathered everyone today is to announce something.

Our Fuxing Gang needs to be reorganized. From now on, there will be no more Fuxing Gang; it will be renamed Revival Group.

Li Hu, you will be the head of the Security Department of Revival Group. Sun Gui, you are the head of the Business Department, and will also temporarily serve as the head of the Procurement Department. Zhao Fu, you will be the head of the Finance Department.

Uncle Wang, you are the head of the Logistics Department, and Aunt Wang, you will be the deputy head. The Logistics Department is mainly responsible for the internal logistics of the group, such as the cafeteria, dormitories, and maintenance, all under your management.

Brother Shen, you will be the head of the Training Department. The 20 people Li Hu newly recruited are already in place, plus the 10 brothers who were already in the group, the training of these 30 people is all entrusted to you."
