When Ling Yi actually started working on outsourced tasks, he discovered something different.

The outsourcing tasks at that time were much simpler than those in later generations. Many companies even outsourced the most basic window module parameter settings.

This was far too easy for Ling Yi.

Not only is it simple, but the task rewards are also very high, two to three times higher than they would be twenty years later.

Why does this happen?

It's very simple: these days there are plenty of people with computer and related majors, but very few true programmers.

This profession requires a lot of talent.

After all, Ling Yi had been a programmer for nearly twenty years, so these outsourced tasks were child's play for Ling Yi.

What surprised Ling Yi even more was that the Computer had various types of Programming software installed on it.

This saved Ling Yi a lot of trouble.

In less than half an hour, Ling Yi completed five tasks.

It couldn't be easier.

However, the income was a full four thousand five.

In his previous life, Ling Yi was already a bit late to the game of outsourcing websites, but he had never made money so easily before.

At his peak, Ling Yi's monthly bonus was only 15,000 yuan.

Now, at 4,500 for half an hour, wouldn't that add up to nearly 100,000 a day?

Then why bother writing novels? What's the point of being a plagiarist?

Just grind the tasks and earn the rewards, that's all.

Making money can be addictive.

Having tasted success, Ling Yi began accepting and completing tasks like crazy.

Then, a voice sounded behind Ling Yi.

What are you doing? You look really skilled.

Ling Yi was startled by the voice and turned around, only to find that several people had been standing behind him.

Hu Yifei, Tang Youyou, and Lü Ziqiao were all there. Besides them, there were a few "familiar faces": Chen Meijia, Zeng Xiaoxian, Sekiya Kamiki, and Lu Zhanbo, who looked completely incredulous.

"Sorry, I got a little tipsy," Ling Yi said, rubbing his slightly sore fingers.

At this moment, Lu Zhanbo stepped forward a few paces, and when he saw the number of tasks Ling Yi had submitted, he couldn't help but gasp.

Wow, you finished twelve small buns and one medium bun in forty minutes?

"Uh, have I completed this much? I didn't really notice, but these are all pretty simple." Ling Yi was too busy accepting and completing tasks.

I haven't actually counted how many I've done.

If Hu Yifei and the others hadn't come in, I'm afraid I would still be doing this job.

"What small package, medium package? Could this kid be up to something bad online?" Lü Ziqiao said Yin and Yang.

Lu Zhanbo rolled his eyes at him. "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. The so-called small and medium packages refer to programming tasks. Some companies or teams will subcontract programming tasks to save time and money."

"Compared to hiring professionals, outsourcing these tasks saves time and money, making it a very worthwhile option for many software companies."

"Even some Third Rate companies, which can't afford to hire senior programmers themselves, dare to take on software design tasks and then subcontract and integrate them, saving a lot of money."

Hu Yifei scratched her head, somewhat confused, but she roughly understood.

He asked, "You mean Ling Yi is making money?"

"Right!"

"So, how much did Ling Yi earn from those small and medium-sized buns?"

"At least 15,000!" Lu Zhanbo said after a rough calculation.

"What?"

"What the heck?"

" Ling Yi earned 15,000 in less than an hour?"

"Really?"

Everyone was somewhat surprised.

Fifteen thousand wouldn't surprise them, but earning fifteen thousand in an hour would truly astonish them.

"It's not that high, around 12,000," Ling Yi said modestly.

"Twelve thousand an hour, that's at least one hundred thousand a day, and three million a month?" Lü Ziqiao was dumbfounded.

I thought he was just a poor kid, but he turned out to be a damn super Honor of Kings.

Lü Ziqiao immediately regretted his earlier targeting. If he had known this kid was a God of Wealth, he would have been too busy being Yin and Yang and mean to him.

It wasn't that she regretted targeting Ling Yi, but rather that she had a bad impression of him and would be embarrassed to ask him for money in the future!

He recently started a business with a partner, investing Clone. Now he's so poor he's practically starving.

"It's not calculated that way. Ling Yi can't sit in front of the Computer doing tasks 24 hours a day. He still needs to eat and sleep, right?"

"That's not enough. At Ling Yi's efficiency, earning a million a month is a piece of cake."

A million a month, that's incredibly impressive!

Although these people are not short of money, they are not high-income earners.

"Hmm, what's burnt?" Tang Youyou asked, twitching her nose.

"Wocao, hot pot!"

As soon as Tang Youyou shouted, everyone smelled a burnt odor.

They all ran out immediately.

Hu Yifei then called out to Ling Yi, " Ling Yi, come out for dinner."

Ling Yi responded with a "Okay," and walked out of the room with a wry smile.

Ling Yi is speechless that he even managed to burn the hot pot.

Don't they add broth when they cook hot pot?

After everyone passed through the living room and entered the dining room, the burnt smell became even stronger.

Tang Youyou rushed over, and when she saw that only a layer of burnt bottom remained in the hot pot, bubbling away, she was dumbfounded.

"Is this still edible?" Zeng Xiaoxian asked, stirring the bottom of the pot with a spoon.

"What the hell are you talking about? Turn off the fire!" Lü Ziqiao shouted.

"Oh right, right!" Zeng Xiaoxian finally came to his senses and quickly unplugged the power cord.

"This has turned into alchemy, what should we do?" Chen Meijia asked.

"Two options!" Lü Ziqiao said.

Everyone looked at him, and Lü Ziqiao tossed his hair and said, "Order takeout, or eat out."

Zeng Xiaoxian looked at everyone. "What are your opinions?"

"Of course we should eat out! It's rare for a new person to move into our apartment; what kind of nonsense is it to call outside?" Lü Ziqiao was the first to speak up.

"I don't care, I work the night shift anyway." Zeng Xiaoxian shrugged.

" Ling Yi, what's your opinion?" Hu Yifei asked, looking at Ling Yi.

This meal was originally prepared to celebrate Ling Yi's arrival, and a lot of food was specially prepared for it.

But now that things have turned out this way, she feels somewhat embarrassed.

"Are there any other hot pot options?" Ling Yi asked.

He was a little confused; it was just a little burnt on the bottom of the pot, which should have been easily cleaned up.

Besides, there's a pile of various meatballs and sliced meat on the table; wouldn't it be a waste not to eat them?

I don't know what these people are thinking?

"That's it. There's only this one hot pot left at home. We used to have another one, but Zeng Xiaoxian secretly ate it as a late-night snack and burned it."

"Hey, Tang Youyou, what does this have to do with me? It's just that the pot is of poor quality."

Ling Yi wanted to say that washing the pot would be enough.

But the words were on the tip of his tongue, and he swallowed them back.

Perhaps some of these people simply don't want to eat hot pot? Or perhaps they have other intentions?

As a newcomer, it's best for him not to offer his opinions too readily.

"Put all of these in the Fridge and we'll eat out." Finally, Hu Yifei made the decision.

The meal didn't end until 8 PM.

Ling Yi paid the bill voluntarily; it cost over eight hundred yuan.

Through observing the conversation at the dinner table, Ling Yi roughly understood the cause and effect.

The reason the hot pot burned dry was because someone did it on purpose, and that person was Zeng Xiaoxian.

The reason is laughable.

Because he was brought back by Hu Yifei, this guy was a little jealous.

He and Hu Yifei had been having a falling out lately, and then Ling Yi suddenly appeared, making him a little jealous.

Anyway, that's roughly what Ling Yi thought it meant.

However, what Ling Yi didn't know was that the real cause of the incident was a conversation between Tang Youyou and Chen Meijia.

While Ling Yi was completing tasks in his room, Hu Yifei, Tang Youyou, and Lü Ziqiao went grocery shopping, Zeng Xiaoxian happened to return.

Since no one was in the room, Zeng Xiaoxian didn't think much of it and went back to his own room.

On their way back from grocery shopping, Hu Yifei and her friends ran into Chen Meijia was also returning home from work.

Just as they were about to reach the door, Hu Yifei remembered that she had forgotten to buy dipping sauce, so she asked Tang Youyou and Chen Meijia to come back first, and then she dragged Lü Ziqiao to the supermarket again.

Upon returning, Tang Youyou began Eight Trigrams with Chen Meijia about Ling Yi and Hu Yifei.

In the midst of the jokes, the conversation turned to whether Hu Yifei was Old Bull dating a younger man, and whether she had a teacher-student relationship with Ling Yi Yunyun.

It was just a joke, but Zeng Xiaoxian overheard it and took it seriously.

Otherwise, Zeng Xiaoxian wouldn't have suddenly lost his temper and done such a foolish thing.

"This meal was truly unpleasant."

The cast of Love Apartment, shouldn't they be going for a comedic approach? Instead, things are just awkward.

"If that's the kind of vibe they're going for, then we might as well not stay at Love Apartment."

Does Ling Yi's system have any mandatory tasks that need to be completed, and does it require him to stay with these plot characters?

The reason I wanted to stay at Love Apartment was simply because I wanted to see the Legend Love Apartment Love Apartment meet the Legend people living there.

If things continue like this tomorrow, he'll definitely leave.

Just as Ling Yi turned on his Computer, ready to continue completing tasks to earn money, there was a knock on the door.

Hu Yifei's voice came from outside the door. " Ling Yi, are you asleep?"

"No, Ms. Yifei." Ling Yi quickly went over and opened the door.

Hu Yifei's face was flushed; everyone had been drinking that night.

Ling Yi actually drank quite a bit, but Zeng Xiaoxian and Lü Ziqiao kept urging him to drink, and Ling Yi couldn't refuse.

Ling Yi's face flushes easily when he drinks, and both of their faces were actually quite red at that moment.

"Sorry for making you spend money and causing you trouble tonight. I'll definitely teach Zeng Xiaoxian a lesson later."

"It's alright, it's human nature, I can understand." Ling Yi shook his head.

What could he say? Get into a fight with Zeng Xiaoxian?

Or perhaps he was somewhat disappointed by Zeng Xiaoxian's performance as the Protagonist?

We don't even know each other well, okay?

If Zeng Xiaoxian causes trouble again tomorrow, Ling Yi will leave immediately!
