Chapter 266 - Chapter 266: Chapter 193: Stop Always Thinking About Torturing Me! (Please Subscribe) (2/2)
During the last anti-fraud writing contest.
Wang Zikai’s “Inescapable” had soared in subscriptions thanks to Lin Chuan’s advice, and recently it had even reached ten thousand subscribers.
Old Wang had stepped into the ranks of authors with ten thousand subscribers.
Old Wang’s brows rose slightly, his face showing a touch of smugness, and he immediately started to brag to his brothers, “Ten thousand subscribers, that’s just a modest achievement, not worth mentioning.”
Lin Chuan glanced at his sister-in-law Xue Qiqi, then offered his compliments in return.
He gave Old Wang plenty of face.
Old Wang immediately laughed and said, “Old Lin, is a bubble milk tea enough? If not, you can have mine too. Qiqi and I can share one.”
Lin Chuan smiled helplessly.
This guy Old Wang, while showing off, didn’t forget to sprinkle some dog food—naughtily brazen!
Tonight, I should also bring a milk tea back for Little Landlady.
At this moment.
Xue Qiqi laughed and said, “Old Wang, your ten thousand subscribers are nothing compared to Lin Chuan. He’s got several books with that many!”
After hearing this, Old Wang curled his lips and laughed, “His typing speed and growth rate are so astonishingly fast. Oh right, Old Lin, when is your new book coming out?”
Now, it had been some time since “Touch Gold Notes” ended.
As a good brother, Wang Zikai naturally checked Lin Chuan’s author account updates from time to time, to see if he had released a new book and to prepare to plagiarize some inspiration.
But for a long while, he hadn’t seen any new book appear under ‘Mr. Lin.’
Lin Chuan took a sip of milk tea and chuckled, “I published it overseas a couple of days ago.”
At that.
Both Wang Zikai and Xue Qiqi were taken aback, “Published overseas?”
Lin Chuan nodded and smiled, “Yes, the theme is somewhat sensitive, and it probably wouldn’t pass censorship here, so I published it overseas instead.”
“What’s the theme?”
Old Wang asked curiously.
“Err, drug lords.” Lin Chuan thought for a moment and decided to give a truthful answer.
Hisss!
Old Wang took in a sharp breath, looked up at Lin Chuan, and gave a thumbs-up, “Criminal! Your business is getting bigger and bigger!”
“That’s no joking matter!” Lin Chuan immediately retorted.
“Haha, you dare to write about such a topic, pretty bold.” Old Wang laughed.
Lin Chuan smiled helplessly.
In his heart, he thought, no choice, with my bad luck, the system just gave me this profession.
I had to publish it, even if reluctantly.
“What are you all chatting about?” A sweet and familiar voice reached Lin Chuan’s ears.
This voice, naturally, belonged to Shen Qianqian.
Lin Chuan lifted his gaze and looked forward, only to see Shen Qianqian dressed in an off-shoulder casual white knit top, paired with tight stone-washed jeans, her height of 172 centimeters showing off a tall and slender figure. Together with a delicate face as white as a goose egg, she instantly attracted the gaze of everyone in the Internet cafe.
Standing next to her was a girl who was just as attractive.
It was Xia Qingqing.
Xia Qingqing had short hair, clear eyes, brows like fine willows, a high nose bridge, and her features combined to give off an exceptional sense of pure desire. Dressed in a simple floral dress, her long, straight legs were showcased, exuding youthful vitality.
“Indeed, all the good-looking ones have been handed over to the state.”
Xue Qiqi looked at the two of them and teased with a smile.
“Qiqi is making fun of us again.”
Shen and Xia both smiled charmingly, while Xia Qingqing’s eyes glanced at Lin Chuan from the corner of her eye.
A smile appeared on Lin Chuan’s face, “Qingqing seems to have been quite busy lately.”
Xia Qingqing smiled and said, “That’s right, we Cyber Police don’t have the leisure that a big web novel writer like you has, to go wherever we want.”
Lin Chuan touched his nose and argued, “I’m busy, too!”
Everyone laughed and then entered the private room.
The few old friends had their first gaming session in this private room, and they were sitting in the same spots as before.
Xia Qingqing sat down next to Lin Chuan and asked with a smile, “Writer Lin, how come you haven’t released any novels recently? I’m suffering from book drought here!”
One was a Cyber Police+reader, and the other was a Hacker+web novel writer.
Their conversations inevitably focused on computer technology and novel discussions.
These days.
Xia Qingqing spent her free time reading novels.
And Lin Chuan’s novels had long been finished by Xia Qingqing, who had been waiting for a long time without seeing any new releases from Lin Chuan. This was a good chance to ask.
“Published, I released an overseas edition,” Lin Chuan responded while powering up his computer.
“Overseas edition?”
Both police comrades turned their gaze toward Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan’s mouth unconsciously twitched, “Two police comrades, what’s up, any problem?”
“No problem, just wondering why you didn’t publish it domestically?” Xia Qingqing muttered.
“Uh, that’s because…”
Lin Chuan gave an awkward smile, looking a bit embarrassed.
“His theme is a bit sensitive; it’s not permitted to be published domestically,” Old Wang interjected on Lin Chuan’s behalf.
“What’s the theme?”
Shen Qianqian looked at Lin Chuan with a sly glint in her eyes.
“Officer Shen, we are about to start gaming tonight; don’t always think about interrogating me!” Lin Chuan immediately said.
“Why are you getting worked up?” Shen Qianqian laughed and gave a wink.
Lin Chuan was startled, “Am I getting worked up?”
“You see, you’re getting worked up again,” Shen Qianqian said with a light smile, “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. What’s the theme of the novel you published overseas? When I have time, I’ll look it up.”
Xia Qingqing also looked at Lin Chuan, her face showing a mix of curiosity and anticipation.
She too was eager to see what Lin Chuan had written.
“Well, just to be clear, the two police comrades, although I wrote about a drug lord theme, please don’t associate it with my real life,” Lin Chuan stated earnestly.
“Drug lord?”
Xia Qingqing’s eyes froze for a moment as she turned to Lin Chuan, “Now I’m even more curious to see it.”
