Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Chuan, something big has happened!
“[Did that police comrade just say the book was his? I’m gonna learn some techniques!]
[Bro, Sailing Novel Website, search for ‘Swindler’.]
[That’s hardcore! Indeed, reality is much more exciting than novels!]
[I’m still wondering, how did he swap the cards?]
[I wanna know too!]
[Quick, ask the host!]
[+1]
[…]
Shen Qianqian smiled radiantly, after introducing the purpose of the event, she slightly turned her face and looked towards Lin Chuan:
“The audience is particularly eager to know how you managed to swap the cards so skillfully in the two gambling rounds just now. But since our video surveillance didn’t detect any of your actions, could you explain it to us?”
“Of course, I can.”
Lin Chuan nodded, a smile appearing on his handsome face.
Lin Chuan then explained, “Hello everyone, in the first round, I had control of the Ace of Spades from the start. After showing the Five of Diamonds as my bottom card, the moment I set it down, I had already swapped it with the Ace of Spades.”
“The second round, I did the same trick.”
“This trick, called ‘Heaven and Earth’, has a more detailed disclosure in my novel ‘Swindler’.”
“I want to share with everyone that at the gambling table, it’s all about fraud techniques. Once you sit at the table, there’s only losing…”
…
The anti-gambling campaign went very smoothly, receiving very positive feedback.
Half an hour later, the live broadcast ended.
Shen Qianqian and Lin Chuan left the hall, walking along the long corridor.
“Not bad, Lin Chuan!”
Shen Qianqian raised her eyebrows playfully, praising Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan smiled: “Officer Shen is the traffic password, attracting quite a few viewers.”
“Smarty-pants.”
Shen Qianqian laughed, then became concerned about the Average Subscription of Lin Chuan’s novel, “With such promotion, your novel subscription should see a significant increase, right?”
Lin Chuan pursed his lips, pondering, “I’m not really sure, but I don’t think I’ll starve.”
Some people like watching videos but don’t enjoy reading novels.
Some people are the opposite.
Turning live broadcast viewers into novel readers, Lin Chuan wasn’t sure about the conversion rate.
“Giggle–”
Shen Qianqian laughed, saying, “With your unique skills, would you really starve?”
Lin Chuan grinned: “I dare not use this unique skill to make a living. I reckon the moment I do, you’ll transform and come to catch me.”
“Transform… what transform?”
Shen Qianqian was stunned, a trace of confusion appearing on her face.
“Err… just like transforming into Ultraman to execute justice and defeat the little monsters,” Lin Chuan explained hastily, making it up on the spot.
Phew–
Transforming into the red Dragon Hollyhock, from sweet to stunning, he almost let slip.
Soon, they arrived at the police station’s reception room.
Captain Li Bing personally poured a cup of tea for Lin Chuan, saying with a cheerful smile, “Comrade Lin Chuan, the anti-gambling campaign has been a resounding success, and you played a crucial role!”
Lin Chuan sat down, smiling, “Captain Li is too kind. It’s what I should do as a citizen.”
“You must visit us at Anling Police Station more often,” Captain Li Bing said with a smile.
Just as Lin Chuan picked up his teacup and took a sip, he looked over at Shen Qianqian: “Captain Li, I’m afraid Officer Shen might interrogate me again.”
“Writer Lin!”
Shen Qianqian pursed her lips, “As long as you abide by the law, how could I possibly arrest you!”
Li Bing laughed heartily from the sidelines: “Comrade Lin Chuan, Officer Shen is perceptive. The previous two interrogations were just for investigation. What I mean is, we hope that Comrade Lin Chuan can cooperate more with our police station to better promote anti-gambling.”
Lin Chuan smiled broadly: “If there’s more anti-gambling promotion, I will definitely cooperate actively!”
3000 yuan!
Ah… money or not, it doesn’t matter; what I really hope for is to create a gambling-free environment!
You can call me to promote it every day!
That’s what Lin Chuan thought to himself.
As he was leaving,
Captain Li Bing personally saw Lin Chuan out, patting him on the shoulder earnestly, “Comrade Lin Chuan, you must be a law-abiding good citizen!”
Lin Chuan’s mouth twitched.
Captain Li, what’s going on?
I haven’t done anything, just published two novels.
“Captain Li, you’re worrying too much, I’ve always been a law-abiding good citizen,” Lin Chuan said with a bitter smile.
Li Bing nodded his head twice in quick succession: “That’s good, that’s good!”
Whew–
Lin Chuan let out a deep breath.
After leaving Anling Police Station, Lin Chuan boarded the familiar Route 13 bus.
Under the bright sunshine, the bus weaved through towering buildings before finally entering an old district in the east of the city, pulling up at the stop for Happiness Community.
Lin Chuan hummed a tune as he returned to his rented room.
At that moment.
Lin Chuan opened the system panel.
[Current Work: “Swindler”.]
[Status: Released.]
[Popularity Value (Average Subscription): 513/1000.]
“Already have 500 average subscriptions, it seems that live-streaming promotions really work!” Lin Chuan revealed a grin.
Within just a few hours, the subscriptions increased by 400.
The pace couldn’t be called slow!
Should reach a thousand subscriptions soon, maybe even more!
Hit product!?
If “Swindler” could reach an average subscription of 3000, achieving the status of a hit product, it would undoubtedly represent Lin Chuan breaking through a tough barrier and entering a whole new realm.
Similar to a practitioner breaking through a bottleneck, ascending to a higher world.
To rise one level is to see further, see more.
“I’ve been writing for quite a few years now, finally I can see some results!”
At that moment.
Lin Chuan could hardly contain his joy and couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
Let the bullets fly a bit longer!
As the average subscriptions continued to climb, Lin Chuan couldn’t resist opening the author’s backend to see what the readers were thinking and their comments.
However.
The first post he saw made Lin Chuan’s mouth twitch and his face darken.
‘@Han River Cyber Police @Liuhe Cyber Police @Handong Cyber Police @Yichang Cyber Police… I report, the author has written their own personal experiences in the novel, this is definitely a criminal record!’
Thankfully.
Lin Chuan had already been questioned once because of this book and had a record at Anling Police Station.
Otherwise, Lin Chuan would definitely have panicked.
Continuing to read on.
‘It’s so realistic! It’s hard not to suspect that this is an autobiography!’
‘I suggest the police do a background check on the author!’
‘Protection! This is absolutely the most realistic swindler novel I’ve ever read!’
‘Without decades of a swindler career, one absolutely couldn’t write such a flavored novel!’
‘Catch the author alive! Apprehend the criminal suspect, Mr. Lin!’
‘…’
After scrolling through several pages of comments, Lin Chuan’s face darkened even more.
“Better not to look at these comments!”
Lin Chuan spat.
If he continued to read, Lin Chuan might truly start to doubt whether he had actually committed a crime and might end up turning himself in at the police station.
The phrase “leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist” had imprinted itself in Lin Chuan’s mind from the interrogation room.
Ring ring ring—
Lin Chuan’s phone rang.
“Chuan, there’s big trouble!”
As soon as he answered the phone, Old Wang’s anxious voice came through.
“What happened?”
Lin Chuan was puzzled.
Old Wang immediately said, “Chuan, hurry up and check the Kuai Shou live streaming app!”
