Chapter 337 - Chapter 337: Chapter 227: Lin Chuan, Truly Strong! (5000-word Chapter!)_2 (2/2)
But the words “Arms Tycoon” represented her identity, and she was curious to see what sort of story Lin Chuan could come up with.
Gently, she tapped on “Arms Tycoon.”
The content of the novel immediately unfolded before her—
‘My name is Mr. Lin.’
‘In a world of turmoil and unrest, I was christened “Arms Tycoon”.’
‘The name Mr. Lin, in the eyes of many, symbolizes power, wealth, and technology.’
‘It also represents legend.’
‘Standing in the fading light of my twilight years, I find the recollections of my life to be extraordinary and almost miraculous.’
‘If I were to speak of it, perhaps no one would believe.’
‘I was originally the owner of a toy factory, but by a chance decision, I embarked on the path of arms dealing.’
‘…’
This was the first time Yu Qin was reading Lin Chuan’s novel, and she read the opening with some care, or rather, she savored it.
She extinguished the cigarette in her hand on the ashtray and adjusted her position on the sofa, her breathing gradually calming.
She could sense the charm of the words in Lin Chuan’s novel.
Even more, she could feel as if an arms tycoon, standing at the peak and looking down on the world, was recounting his legendary life to an unknown audience in the memories of his later years.
Yu Qin continued to read discerningly.
‘I was born into an ordinary family.’
‘Since my childhood, I had a profound curiosity about weapons, and I especially enjoyed making little weapon toys.’
‘I remember clearly, at the age of eight, I broke the neighbor’s window with a toy gun I made myself and got thoroughly punished for it, with my butt blooming from the spanking.’
‘But my passion for guns and weapons didn’t diminish; on the contrary, it grew stronger.’
‘However, academics became an obstacle in my study of guns and weaponry.’
‘I had to spend a large amount of time every day, unwillingly, on subjects that were of no use.’
‘Fortunately, I always scored high in physics, mathematics, and chemistry. The elders always said I was too focused on one field and if I could do well in other subjects, I would certainly achieve great things in the future.’
‘I didn’t take their words seriously.’
‘After the college entrance exam, I got into a very mediocre university.’
‘The only consolation was that during those four years, I could fully dedicate myself to the study of weapons, which was my hobby.’
‘However, a hobby cannot feed you.’
‘After graduation, I was caught in a wave of massive layoffs, and finding a job in the country was very difficult, unless I went to work in a factory.’
‘Later, I went abroad to Southeast Asia.’
‘I started a business there, initially trading toys. Eventually, I simply opened my own toy factory.’
‘…’
As she read on, Yu Qin found herself becoming engrossed.
The ‘Mr. Lin’ in the novel shared some similarities with her, having a strong interest in weapons from their childhood.
However, her own growth was much smoother than Mr. Lin’s.
Her father supported her interest in studying weapons, even providing her with real guns and taking her to see all sorts of weaponry.
