Chapter 319: Chapter 218 – The Stats of This Weapon Are Too Exaggerated! (Please Subscribe)
“The preliminary round of the ‘National Weapon Innovation Design Competition’ was set for September 7.”
During this time,
Lin Chuan had been busy with the rocket launcher.
At the same time, he also helped Shen Qianqian optimize her “modular new-style rifle,” making it more professional and practical than before.
“Comrade Lin Chuan, you said you were a firearms research expert, and now I truly believe it.”
After the new-style rifle model was made,
Shen Qianqian’s eyes gleamed with admiration as she looked at the rifle; her fair hands couldn’t help but lightly caress it as though it was a piece of art.
—An art piece in wartime.
“A firearms research expert, you could say so.” In the steel mill, Lin Chuan smiled faintly and said.
Holding the “rifle model” dearly, Shen Qianqian walked out of the steel mill with Lin Chuan and got into the car.
In the car,
Shen Qianqian turned towards Lin Chuan, her interest piqued, and asked, “Lin Chuan, you think my ‘rifle’ could win an award, right?”
Lin Chuan sat in the passenger seat and buckled his seatbelt: “I reckon it could take second place.”
“Second?”
Shen Qianqian felt secretly delighted upon hearing this and further asked, “Why not first place?”
“Because my cannon is fierce, you’ve seen it!”
Lin Chuan answered very seriously.
“Your cannon is fierce?”
Shen Qianqian’s brows furrowed, feeling that it sounded odd, “Nice, Lin Chuan, so now you drive too! I must tell Xinxin!”
“I don’t have a driver’s license, I can’t drive!”
Lin Chuan wondered aloud.
“You were just driving!” Shen Qianqian muttered under her breath.
“I was just walking, and you were walking with me.” Lin Chuan stated solemnly.
Shen Qianqian was both annoyed and amused by Lin Chuan: “Okay, my thoughts were twisted. Your cannon, uh, your Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher, is indeed fierce!”
“Thanks for the praise, Officer Shen. This time first place is secured.” Lin Chuan laughed.
As Shen Qianqian recalled the rocket launcher Lin Chuan had designed, doubts resurfaced in her mind: “Tell me honestly, are you really a web novel writer?”
“You’ve asked that question many times.”
Lin Chuan griped.
Shen Qianqian pursed her lips, slightly embarrassed: “You always come up with things that are unimaginable, I can’t help but ask.”
“What’s there to worry about? We know each other inside out,” Lin Chuan casually said.
“Who knows you inside out?”
Upon hearing this, Shen Qianqian spat in irritation, yet her cheeks flushed, “You’re driving again!”
“Slander! I’m suing you for slander!”
Lin Chuan immediately retorted, “I’m sitting in the passenger seat, it’s you who are holding the wheel, clearly, you’re driving!”
Shen Qianqian burst out laughing in frustration, her face a mix of exasperation, “My driving isn’t about this driving, so which driving is it?”
“Which this and that, I honestly don’t know!” Lin Chuan grinned.
“I really am going to complain to Xinxin!”
Shen Qianqian huffed.
“Officer Shen, it’s clearly your dirty mind; this is not on me!” Lin Chuan said with an innocent face.
Shen Qianqian took deep breaths.
Her chest heaved erratically, her heart in turmoil!
Clearly, he was driving, yet he said he was sitting in the passenger seat, it was me driving!
So frustrating!
“How about we just take a taxi back, that way we won’t have to worry about who’s driving?” Lin Chuan suggested.
Shen Qianqian glared at Lin Chuan and huffed: “No need, I’ll drive!”
The roar of the car echoed outside the steel mill.
Shen Qianqian stepped on the gas pedal.
The car sped away.
Now, both had readied their weapon models, just waiting for the preliminary round to start.
“By the way, you haven’t been writing your novel lately, huh?” Shen Qianqian calmed down and asked.
This woman driver was very skilled.
Lin Chuan lounged in the passenger seat, his head leaning towards the window, gazing at the rapidly passing scenery: “I am writing, I’ll publish it after making it to the finals.”
“What does writing a novel have to do with making it to the finals?”
Shen Qianqian wondered, then her expression froze, “Your new book’s theme is about weapons, isn’t it?”
Lin Chuan turned to look at Shen Qianqian’s profile and smiled, “Exactly.”
He had his plans.
In his forthcoming book, “Arms Tycoon,” there was a lot of descriptions and ideas about weapons and equipment. If he published now, and readers use the weapon concepts from his book in the competition, wouldn’t that be giving his ideas away for free?
The feeling of being exploited was genuinely unpleasant!
Lin Chuan planned to wait until he was in the finals and then publish the book. He wanted to leverage the fever of the ‘National Weapon Innovation Design Competition’ finals to market his new book “Arms Tycoon.”
Fortunately, the task of assessment and Popularity Value (Average Subscription) requirements were being completed together!
Cough, he had beautiful plans.
“You, for the sake of writing novels, really dare to do anything!” Shen Qianqian pursed her lips, saying from the heart.
“Earning a living, just getting by,” Lin Chuan laughed.
