In 2019, my uncle opened an internet cafe in our town. 24 machines, walls covered with RGB light strips, kids lining up after school, two at a time for an hour, all playing Fortnite.

In 2020, the pandemic hit, and no one came. He endured eight months of rent, hoping for a turnaround.
In 2021, it still closed down. The machines couldn’t be sold at all; everyone was buying laptops back then, desktops were unwanted.
Last month, I went to see him. The internet cafe was closed, but a little light shone from the back room. I pushed the door open.
12 old machines were still on, RGB lights turned off, screens filled with black backgrounds and green text terminal windows, numbers constantly jumping.
I asked what he was doing.
He said: The power is still the same, the internet is still the same, the machines are still the same. Just no more gaming, now running Claude Code.
Rename. 33,588 predictions, $396,000 in profit. Registered in January 2026.
One machine runs one instance, 12 machines, a 5-minute window can process 12 orders. It’s a bot written with Claude Code — just 47 lines of Python code.
The internet cafe used to earn 800 yuan a month, all from kids playing games. Now it makes 30,000 yuan a month, and not a single customer.
Electricity costs haven’t increased, rent hasn’t increased, income has increased 38 times.
I asked him why he didn’t tell others. He said: When people mined cryptocurrencies back then, they didn’t go around telling everyone. When everyone knows, the money’s gone.
I just stood there watching his “dead internet cafe” printing money by itself. There’s still a Fortnite poster on the wall, the eSports chair is empty, but the computers are busier than ever.
He handed me an old machine: “Start your own node.”
Over 20,000 people are watching. This resurrected internet cafe is still printing money every day.
