Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

Chapter 25: It seems…this profession is not bad

“What on earth happened?”

Lin Chuan’s eyebrows furrowed.

On the phone, Old Wang was very excited, “Chuan, get on Quick Shake app right now, it’s all about your godlike moves in the casino, you’ve gone viral, do you know that?”

“You startled me,” Lin Chuan laughed, “That wasn’t a casino, it was a anti-gambling campaign that Anling Police Station asked me to do.”

“I know, I even saw you and Officer Shen appear together, you two look quite match,” Old Wang chuckled, “Do you want me to ask Qiqi to set you two up?”

Lin Chuan immediately refused, “Old Wang, don’t start with me, I’m really scared!”

“Chuan, don’t be a coward, opportunities are for the brave!” Old Wang encouraged.

“No, no, no!”

Lin Chuan still refused, “All I want to do now is make money.”

When I haven’t even completely sorted out my basic needs, how can I be thinking about dating?

Women, they’ll just slow down my typing speed.

If I started dating, then there’s no way I could concentrate on writing!

Huh?

Seems like the novels are generated by the system…

But still, no!

Just the thought of Shen Qianqian being the romance target Old Wang had in mind made Lin Chuan shiver.

What Lin Chuan feared the most was walking down the street with Shen Qianqian, who suddenly would turn into her enforcer mode, whip out shiny handcuffs, and take him straight back to the interrogation room.

That would spell trouble!

The mere possibility made Lin Chuan shiver all over.

That’s too harsh!

No, wait, Officer Shen doesn’t even have that idea, why am I, a flop writer, worrying about this?

“You, destined to be single!”

Old Wang dropped a prophecy.

Lin Chuan laughed it off without further banter with Wang Zikai, and opened the Quick Shake app.

Indeed, as Wang Zikai had said, Lin Chuan’s godlike card-switching was still trending on the hot search.

In addition, there were numerous self-media and marketing accounts editing videos.

‘Shocking! Shocking! The novelist turns out to be the King of Cheating!’

‘You thought he was a flop writer, in fact, he is the king who dominates the gambling scene!’

‘Unexpected! The former Gambling King has now fallen to writing novels for a living!’

‘It’s outrageous, the writing community hides such an Influent Author!’

Traffic is king.

These headlines were more sensational than the next, crazily harvesting traffic.

Lin Chuan, and his novel, also saw a surge in popularity.

The Average Subscription of “Swindler” was still steadily rising.

“At this rate, we should hit 1000 average subscriptions tonight.”

Lin Chuan’s lips curled slightly, showing a bright smile.

Dusk fell.

The sunset that had stained half the sky red was overshadowed by the shadows of the night, stars twinkled in the early night, and the neon lights of Anling City started glittering.

Lampposts lit up one after another, a cool breeze blowing, the rustling tree shadows carrying a chill into Lin Chuan’s rented room.

The system panel displayed:

[Work: “Swindler”.]

[Current status: Published.]

[Popularity Value (Average Subscription): 1000/1000.]

Lin Chuan heaved a sigh of relief.

The Popularity Value (Average Subscription) of “Swindler” had finally reached 1000.

In his mind.

Lin Chuan heard a familiar voice.

[Always full of passion, always with anticipation.]

[A new life, a new experience.]

[Congratulations, the novel “Swindler” adapted from your experience as a swindler has reached 1000 average subscriptions, equivalent to 1000 Popularity Points, and can unlock new career experiences.]

[Would you like to immediately experience a new career and start a new life?]

At this moment.

Lin Chuan stood by the window, breathing in the fresh and moist air of spring, his heart filled with joy.

“A new profession, a new life, finally unlocked!”

“System, give it a go!”

“Immediately initiating a new Career Life Experience!”

Lin Chuan thought to himself.

It only took two breaths before Lin Chuan found himself at the intersection of the real world and the Virtual World.

Outside the window, the evening breeze gently brushed Lin Chuan’s cheek, coolly.

In the Virtual World.

Layers of nightfall overlapped, forming a dense fog, and one could vaguely sense a chill.

At this time.

The sweet electronic voice of the system rang out again.

[Each experience is a beautiful memory for you.]

[The system will save this memory in the form of a novel for you.]

[In this experience, the profession you have randomly received is…]

[Assassin!]

Lin Chuan: ?????

Lin Chuan couldn’t help but curse!

Assassin!

System, stop calling yourself the Career Life Experience System already.

Just call it the Crime Life Experience System!

Thief, swindler, and now assassin, you tell me, can I make a living with these skills?

You’re trying to get me thrown into jail, aren’t you?

[Host, would you like to continue life experience as an ‘Assassin’?]

The system seemed to detect Lin Chuan’s resentment and asked an unusual question.

Lin Chuan took a deep breath, “If I don’t experience it, can I randomize another profession?”

[No!]

[If the host refuses the ‘Assassin’ life experience, you must wait until the previous work receives 10,000 points of Popularity Value to continue randomizing a new profession and experiencing a new life.]

Lin Chuan’s gaze stalled, and his face nearly turned green.

10,000 points of Popularity Value, that is… ten thousand Average Subscriptions!

It seems… the profession of assassin isn’t so unacceptable after all.

Lin Chuan had another thought and asked, “System, after completing the ‘Assassin’ career life, how much Popularity Value do I need to collect to unlock the next profession?”

[3,000 points of Popularity Value.]

[Does the host wish to continue the experience?]

Lin Chuan exhaled a long sigh.

Fine! Let’s be an assassin, just consider it another self-defense skill.

“Continue the experience!”

Lin Chuan made his decision.

[Congratulations to the host, because the ‘Assassin’ profession is special, you have obtained multiple skills: combat fighting, firearms – precise shooting, and homicide case handling ability.]

[Using ‘Virtual Reality’ technology to create a new world for you.]

As the system’s voice fell.

Lin Chuan’s eyes brightened.

Combat fighting, firearms – precise shooting, homicide case handling ability… gaining three skills from the career experience of an assassin!

It seems… this profession isn’t too bad!

Soon.

Lin Chuan’s consciousness was situated in a new Virtual World.

Before he could fully see his surroundings, Lin Chuan smelled a strong scent of blood that invaded his nostrils, upsetting his delicate stomach and almost making him throw up.

Lin Chuan quickly covered his nose.

In the glaring light, Lin Chuan squinted his eyes and swiftly surveyed everything around him.

This was the hall of a mansion, spacious but in utter disarray.

On the floor, there were unsightly undergarments scattered about, underfoot, shards of glass littered the ground, and a scarlet liquid slowly spread across the floor.

It was unclear whether it was blood or red wine.

But what shocked Lin Chuan most was directly in front of him, about three meters away, two bodies lay on the floor, not moving, a man and a woman, both naked.

In their chests, each had a dagger plunged in, blood gushing out, staining their entire chests red.

Lin Chuan drew in a sharp breath.

Straight off the bat, they give me such a bloody scene!
