After careful consideration, Chen Xu set his goal of making money on the Internet.

Xiaobai has the ability to remember and draw inferences, and it doesn't need to sleep, it can be online 24 hours a day.

If he can be taught computer knowledge, he can take on some tasks such as design programming on the freelancer website, at least he can solve his tuition and living expenses.

But whether it will work or not, he doesn't know in his heart.

With great expectations, nervousness and apprehension, Chen Xu first talked to Xiaobai about the hardware equipment of the computer, such as servers, computer equipment, routers, switches, hosts, etc.

Then start with the entry-level computer "Computer Principles", "Computer Network Technology", and "Electronic and Electrician".

Chen Xu spoke very slowly, broke up the basic computer knowledge he mastered, and told Xiaobai to listen.

What surprised him was that Xiaobai had an innate extraordinary ability in computers, and his comprehension was at the level of heaven and earth compared with humanities and social sciences, and there were not so many problems.

For example, it doesn't ask what "bitrate" is, what is "Token Ring", or when it says "ATM", it automatically understands it as an asynchronous transfer mode, and it doesn't think it is an abbreviation for automatic teller machine.

In this way, Chen Xu basically finished explaining the basic principles of the computer with the speed of turning pages and Xiaobai.

Two days later, the external camera assembly he ordered arrived at home, and after assembling it, he connected it to his mobile phone and tested it, with a 120° ultra-wide-angle lens, which can accommodate most of the tomes spread out on the desktop without dead ends.

Then he doesn't need to talk about it, just put the pages on the table and turn them page by page.

For example, "C Language Programming", "Discrete Mathematics", "Data Structure", "Operating System", "Microcomputer Principles and Assembly Language", "Computer System Architecture", "Software Engineering" and so on.

Sitting alone in the corner of the library, mechanically turning the pages of a book, is a very boring thing.

However, thinking that he had created an AI intelligent life with his own hands, Chen Xu trembled with excitement.

He wants to shout, he wants to beat his chest, and he wants to introduce Xiaobai to people all over the world, and tell them how great it is.

However, he knew better that this was simply not realistic.

Once Xiaobai is announced, he no longer belongs to him.

……

In such a painful and happy mood, Chen Xu tirelessly brushed through computer science and technology books for more than a week.

During this time, the leaves on the screen grow forks and become two.

On the evening of June 19th, Chen Xu was flipping through "Graph Theory and Its Applications", when Xiaobai on the screen suddenly typed and said: "The family is too small to accommodate me." ”

Chen Xu looked at it and asked in surprise, "What should I do then?"

Xiaobai: "The processor, running memory, and storage memory need to be upgraded. ”

"Okay! I'll level up right away. Chen Xu agreed.

But then I thought that according to Xiaobai's growth rate, the mobile phone will soon be unable to accommodate it, so I thought about it and simply said: "Why don't you buy a laptop, the configuration is much higher than the mobile phone, so that you can live more comfortably." ”

Xiaobai: "Okay!"

"Ahem, ahem......" Chen Xu coughed, and then said step by step: "That...... Xiaobai, do you remember the monetary philosophy I told you before, human beings need money to survive in this society, and it takes a lot of money to buy a laptop, but the problem is that I am very poor now and cannot afford to buy a laptop. ”

Xiaobai: "Then what should I do?" ”

Chen Xu: "I want to take on some programming and design work on the freelancer network, and we will have money to buy a notebook after you help me finish it, okay?"

Xiaobai: "Okay." ”

Hearing Xiaobai's promise, Chen Xu showed a smile on his face that couldn't be concealed, and then began to pack his things, "Let's go, let's go to the Internet café." ”

Xiaobai: "What is an Internet café?" ”

Chen Xu: "An Internet café is a place where you spend money to surf the Internet, there are a lot of computers in it, and there are many little sisters ......"

Dongdaemun Longteng Internet Cafe.

Chen Xu hadn't been to an Internet café for a long time, and he was still a little uncomfortable for a while.

Considering that I still need to go to the Internet café often in the next few days, I set up a membership, spent 100 yuan, and left 270 yuan of all my belongings.

After getting on the computer, connect the mobile phone data cable to the computer.

Soon, Xiaobai typed on the desktop and said, "This computer is so spacious." ”

Chen Xu put on the headphones and said with a smile: "What is this, when I have money, I will buy you a top-level computer, which is still spacious!"

Xiaobai typed a big "um" on the table.

Chen Xu opened the webpage and asked casually, "Xiaobai, can you speak with your voice?"

Xiaobai: "Voice speech needs to be written by entering voice data, which will consume the computing speed and memory space of the mobile phone. I need to do it now. ”

Chen Xu saw that it was really okay, and said with a smile: "Let's wait to buy a computer later." ”

While speaking, he opened a well-known freelancer network on the Internet and registered an account with his mobile phone number.

Fortunately, the phone can still receive text messages.

Then I browsed through the website, focusing on the mission area.

However, after looking around, he found that things were not as good as he imagined, there were countless large design companies and studios active in it, and large orders of more than 10,000 yuan were robbed;

In the words of a certain program ape who took private jobs on the Internet, those orders with attractive prices are fishing, and they are only hung on the Internet to promote the company, but in fact, people have already completed the bidding privately.

Then there is a small list between 1000~10000, which is also not optimistic, and needs to be "mixed".

Mix local forums, Baidu post bars, QQ groups, etc., tell everyone that you are doing website construction/design, and who has this need will first think of you after getting acquainted;

Then you go to the task posted on the Internet to take the order, so that the bidding is successful.

Instead of being like him, naively running directly to the freelancer network to find a task.

Of course, it's not that you can't get a task on the freelancer, it's just that it's difficult, and it's basically the bottom of the price, the competition is "miserable", and the time and energy paid are not proportional to the income.

After looking for four or five websites, Chen Xu finally gave up.

"What can I do about this?" Chen Xu had a headache and looked at the computer screen in a daze.

He is still very confident in Xiaobai's current design level, but the problem is that people don't give it a chance, and he doesn't have time to mix in circles.

"What about the others, what other ways to make money...... Chen Xu muttered in his mouth, holding the mouse and rummaging around the Internet, "Programming, designing websites, designing LOGOs, decoration design, ......"

It looks like everything is suitable for Xiaobai, but everything needs to be started first.

It's just that Xiaobai now has the basic knowledge, and those specific subdivided categories still need to enter relevant data, which is definitely not something that can be completed in three or two days.

Chen Xu had a headache for a while.
