Children born in the 1980s are the first generation of young people affected by the family planning policy, especially the descendants of state-owned enterprise employees like Li Mu. In order to keep their jobs, their parents basically only have one child. Although the only children of this generation have been criticized by the media for a long time. He is called the little emperor in the family, but almost every only child born in the 1980s has always had the desire to prove himself in front of his family.
For a group of children in Li Mu Community, this desire has basically started since they were ten years old.
When they were in elementary school, they would go to a nearby construction site, pick up some scrap metal or steal two big clips from the scaffolding, and then go to the scrap collection station to exchange for a few dollars. Each of the children would eat an ice cream, and the remaining money would be I bought a bunch of radishes and cabbage on the street and carried them home. I felt very proud along the way, feeling that I could contribute to the family at a young age, regardless of whether the family really needed it.
When I grow up, I will no longer do such childish things, but my passion to prove myself has never been extinguished.
Although Zhao Kang is much more rebellious than Li Mu, his mentality is no weaker than his.
As soon as he heard that it was possible to earn a year's tuition during the summer vacation, Zhao Kang suddenly became interested, and he no longer thought about continuing to practice his sniping skills in CS. He asked calmly: "Xiao Mu, brother, I know you, you. This person never brags about something he’s not sure about. Tell me, how can he make so much money?”
"Make a plug-in." Li Mu said calmly: "I'll do it. You don't have to worry about other things for now. Keep my secrets for now. I'll need you to do some navy work later."
"What does navy mean?"
"Don't worry about what you mean. If you are willing to do it, I will count it as your share. Just wait for my instructions. If you don't want to do it, I won't blame you as a brother."
"Fuck, I will definitely do it. Count me in. You can give me your orders!"
These days, it is unbelievable for ordinary office workers to earn a year's tuition and fees in one summer vacation. They must have at least a monthly salary of 3,000 to dare to say such a thing. What's more, Zhao Kang is a high school student. As soon as Li Mu said his words, His soul was immediately drawn out.
"Today you first familiarize yourself with a game called "Stone Age". I don't want you to familiarize yourself with how to play the game, but to familiarize yourself with how to promote the game, and search for forums and chats related to the Stone Age on the Internet. Room, once my plug-in comes out, you can go everywhere and promote it."
"Okay." Although Zhao Kang doesn't understand, this person has always had extraordinary persistence. Once he decides on something, even ten cows can't get him back.
So, Li Mu went home first and took out the remaining four hundred yuan, went back to the Internet cafe to pay Er Bin, and then began to study cheats in the private room.
Almost all Li Mu knew about Zhao Kang was before the age of eighteen, and the two of them had almost no interests. It was just about who invited whom to dinner and who spent money to buy bottles of water. The plug-in business should be six people After countless transactions, Li Mu was not sure whether Zhao Kang's temperament would remain unchanged after seeing such a huge profit.
However, he then thought about it. In his previous life, Zhao Kang had gone to countless places for more than ten years, but he still remembered to call him every New Year's Day. Just because of this friendship, he could let go and trust him. once.
There are many things that he can do in the future, and he also needs to have people he can trust by his side. For Li Mu, he hopes that Zhao Kang is absolutely trustworthy and can become his right-hand man.

Programming is boring, especially writing weak programs. It feels like someone who has been writing novels for more than ten years cannot find any sense of accomplishment when writing a 300-word essay for elementary school students.
Zhao Kang next to him did not feel bored. On the contrary, he was extremely devoted to his research.
He quickly became familiar with how to shout in the game, and under Li Mu's guidance, he registered accounts in several areas. At the same time, he went downstairs to find paper and pen from Guan Erbin, and began to record some information about the Stone Age. Forums and related chat rooms, ready to register accounts and explore to speak, the attitude is extremely serious.
Li Mu first stopped him when he started to register BBS and chat room accounts, and then found a suitable overseas agent. After setting up an agent, he allowed Zhao Kang to continue. After all, cheating is an illegal business, so it is better to be careful in some behaviors. .
The two of them hung out at the Internet cafe until the next morning. Li Mu's programming work was progressing very quickly. About 30% of the planned plug-in was completed. It seemed that with another twenty hours of work at most, this plug-in would be ready. .
Li Mu planned to name his plug-in Stone Overlord. The name was very vulgar, but for users in the early days of the Internet, what they wanted was this simple and crude effect.
After a long night of work, not wanting to make their parents feel like they were going too far, the two rushed home before their respective parents went to work.
The last time Li's father and Li's mother saw Li Mu was before going to work yesterday. When they saw Li Mu today, they almost didn't recognize him.
Mother Li exclaimed: "Son, when did you get a haircut? You shaved your beard anyway. Didn't Mom tell you that you can't shave at this age, otherwise you will have a stubble on your face when you are in your twenties?" , how ugly it is!”
As he said that, he looked around Li Mu's new hairstyle, and said to himself: "This hair cut is not bad, it looks energetic. It's this beard..."
Dad Li glanced at it, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, when the child is older, why do you care whether he shaves or not? When I was his age, I had been working for half a year. At that time, my master said that I had no words every day. Mao was not very good at his job, so I shaved desperately for two years before I managed to grow a little beard."
Mother Li shook her head helplessly: "Can I compare with you? My son is much more handsome than you."
"Hey, it sounds like your son is yours alone."
The couple bickered for a while. Li Ma saw the dark circles under Li Mu's eyes and knew that he had stayed up all night playing in the Internet cafe last night, but she didn't blame him and said: "Son, there is breakfast in the kitchen. You can eat it before going to bed tomorrow." I have to go to school to get my grades assessed in the morning, and I can’t play outside at all tonight.”
Li Mu nodded and said obediently: "Mom, don't worry, I will go to bed early today."
"That's pretty much it." Mom smiled with satisfaction, "After you finish the estimate, call Mom's Finance Department and let her know!"
Dad Li came over and said, "Don't forget to call our measurement team and tell me the good news too!"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Mom, Dad, we can't estimate the score accurately, so let's wait until we can check the score."
"I can't do it all accurately, but it's definitely quite credible!" Mom smiled slightly and patted Li Mu on the shoulder: "Go and eat quickly, wash up and go to sleep. Look at your eyes. If you stay up late, you'll turn into a panda!"
After his parents left, Li Mu ate a few mouthfuls of food, thinking that if he went to bed now, he would probably sleep until the afternoon. How could he sleep at night? What's more, the Stone Overlord has just completed 30%, and he feels very itchy.
So, Li Mu decided to stay up one more day. In the evening, before his parents came back from get off work, he would have a meal and go to bed early. It would be appropriate to get up and go to school tomorrow.
Oops, when I go to school tomorrow, I will be able to see my dream girl Su Yingxue when I was a boy. Although she is the school beauty, she is still in the same class as me. I will definitely see her when I go to school tomorrow!
Thinking of her, Li Mu, an old man in his thirties, felt a little ripples in his heart...
