Chapter 309: Chapter 214: Ah, You Can Also Operate a Rocket Launcher? (5000-Word Chapter)

Anling City, Linjiang Mansion.

The night sky shed its deep blue, a faint fish belly white emerging on the horizon, and shortly after, a streak of orange-red glimmered with dawn.

The morning mist in August and September was thicker than usual, distant mountains looming in and out of visibility, the babbling of the riverbank blending with the sounds of passing cars, and occasionally a boat horn would drift high into the sky.

“Mmm—”

Lin Chuan woke up from his sleep, opened his eyes, and the Little Landlady was no longer at his bedside, having already gotten up.

He fumbled for his phone on the bedside table.

He checked the time, it was nearly ten o’clock.

The icon for QQ lit up, with messages from the editor Youyou, sent since eight o’clock, several in a row.

[You didn’t get hurt, did you?]

[I saw the news, are you okay?]

[I guess you’re still sleeping.]

[…]

Lin Chuan smiled and quickly replied, “I’m fine, just woke up.”

Youyou replied to the message in an instant, “It’s good that you’re okay, last night must have been quite dangerous, right? The news said you caught the criminal leader all by yourself, that’s too risky.”

“Actually, it wasn’t that dangerous, don’t worry,” Lin Chuan replied.

“Don’t say I was worried, the chief editor and the operations manager both came to ask me right away if you were okay,” Youyou replied.

“Thank them both for me. /Haha.jpg”

Lin Chuan moved his fingers and attached an emoji.

“You’re now a treasure at Sailing Novel, especially the overseas operations department, they’ve singled you out as a key IP to develop,” Youyou had a light smile on her face at Sailing Tower, knowing that Lin Chuan was alright.

“Right, you mentioned last time that the overseas operations department plans to cultivate ‘Dark Empire’ as an IP abroad, that means continuing to publish crime-themed stories, right?” Lin Chuan asked, seizing the opportunity.

“Yes, this genre is very popular in overseas markets,” Youyou replied.

Suddenly, Youyou thought for a moment, then blinked and sent another message, “You’ve already written a new book, haven’t you?”

“How did you know?” Lin Chuan replied.

“Do I not understand you? Every time you talk about a new book, you already have a manuscript in hand, it’s so obvious!” Youyou replied with a slight tug at the corner of her mouth.

Lin Chuan laughed dryly, “Haha, I’ll polish it a bit more and then send it to you to see.”

“What’s the theme, a crime theme?” Youyou asked curiously.

“Yeah, Mr. Lin is a toy factory owner who transitions into an arms dealer and becomes an Arms Tycoon,” Lin Chuan explained with a smile.

“Arms Tycoon, you can write about that?” Youyou was surprised.

“A little,” Lin Chuan replied.

“Just a little?” Youyou was somewhat skeptical.

“Well… a little more than a little.”

Lin Chuan smiled and jokingly replied.
