Chapter 256: Chapter 186: Oh the Punishment! A Profession That Could Be Riddled Like a Hornets’ Nest (Subscribe Please)
By late July, on the 25th.
That night, the stars and moon adorned the dark canvas of the sky, unobstructed by clouds or fog, with the bright moonlight pouring directly onto the surface of the Anling River, twinkling with flecks of silver light.
The night deepened.
The Little Landlady’s face was rosy, and she lay beside Lin Chuan, sleeping soundly.
Lin Chuan rubbed his slightly aching back and thought to himself that he had been paying a bit too much rent lately and needed to cut back a bit.
He pondered for a moment, then opened the system panel.
[Work: “Touch Gold Notes.”]
[Current Status: Listed.]
[Popularity Value (Average Subscription): 39888/40000.]
[Assessment Task: Excavate 2 ancient tombs (2/2).]
In this period,
The popularity of “Touch Gold Notes” had surged, and its average subscriptions had also increased significantly, rising from 20,000 to nearly 40,000 in about half a month.
On the other hand, the excavation of the Nanyue Royal Family’s ancient tomb, with Lin Chuan’s involvement, had also been completed.
The assessment task was met.
As for the other tomb robbing gang encountered in the ancient tomb, they had vanished without a trace, without the slightest noise.
Only on a certain mountain road were two abandoned pickup trucks found.
This surprised Lin Chuan as well.
This tomb robbing gang must have stolen a certain amount of cultural relics from the tomb, and there were five injured members. How did they leave Dabao Mountain?
Upon further thought, Lin Chuan was inwardly shocked by the meticulous planning of this organization.
Undoubtedly, the organization had anticipated the possibility of a traffic blockade from the start, opting to abandon their vehicles and escape via back roads.
Given the vast territory of Dabao Mountain, it was impossible to completely block their escape routes by merely sealing off the roads.
As for the injured members and the relics.
It reminded Lin Chuan of a particular profession on the dark web.
—Cleaner.
Cleaners, colloquially known as “cleaning the scene,” specialize in taking care of the aftermath so that no traces are discovered. A professional cleaner often possesses extremely specialized methods.
The “crime scene processing” ability Lin Chuan obtained in the “Assassin” career simulation is one such professional method used by cleaners.
With Dabao Mountain’s vast area, both the injured members and the relics could be hidden.
Even some of the useless wounded could be dealt with on the spot, a common and ruthless tactic on the dark web.
The capabilities displayed by this organization made Lin Chuan categorize them as a force on the dark web, unseen.
In fact, that was indeed the case.
Their guns couldn’t possibly have been brought in from abroad, meaning they had a domestic source for weapons.
All these were conclusions reached by Lin Chuan after much deliberation.
Lin Chuan also reported each one to the Anling Police.
This matter, let Zhang Biao worry about it.
As for Lin Chuan himself, he just wanted to focus on strengthening himself.
During these days,
He had been discreetly investigating overseas entities like AW and Baisheng Group, both large-scale gray organizations, which were indeed looking for leads to unveil the “mysterious hacker”/”Old Street Factory District informer.”
The investigative efforts by AW were far less intense than those by Baisheng Group.
Baisheng Group also attempted to find the assassin who took out Old Bao, the leader of the Old Street Factory District, but unfortunately, their hopes were dashed.
Fortunately, Lin Chuan’s information security measures were tight enough.
Not a single critical detail had been leaked.
“When you’re broke, the only worry is not having money, but once you have money, the worries just multiply,” Lin Chuan muttered to himself.
If he had to choose all over again…
Lin Chuan glanced at the Little Landlady sleeping soundly beside him, warm and soft, with Xinxin’s supple body pressed against his, holding him even tighter in her sleep-talking embrace.
Cough, if I had to choose again, I’d still take this path!
“Let’s just focus on writing a good novel first, achieve platinum status, enjoy the high income, and face no excessive risks. Once I have enough money, I’ll take over Sailing Novel and raise the full-attendance benefit for the dear web novel writers by three hundred yuan,” Lin Chuan murmured to himself.
I’m a pretty decent person, huh.
At this moment, the system panel in Lin Chuan’s mind refreshed.
“Touch Gold Notes” reaches 40,000 average subscriptions, achieved!
[Always love, always look forward to.]
[Host, congratulations, “Touch Gold Notes” has reached 40,000 popularity value, assessment task completed, you may now unlock the next profession.]
[Host, would you like to experience the next profession immediately?]
“Come on, system, let’s see what the next criminal profession you have for me is,” Lin Chuan said calmly in his mind.
[Host, please note, this system is a standard Career Life Experience System, and the professions experienced are randomly drawn by the host.]
—The system replied.
‘Yeah, I know.’
Lin Chuan trusted the system’s sophistry and then said, “Come on, let’s see how many more criminal professions I can draw.”
On the river outside Linjiang Mansion, a gentle breeze caressed the surface, blowing through the window and into Lin Chuan’s room.
With a light sniff, Lin Chuan was greeted by the fresh scent of grass and the moisture of the water, enveloping him in a feeling of comfort.
Although the system always assigned him crime-related professions that made one grumble, Lin Chuan was still very much looking forward to experiencing new lives.
The next moment, Lin Chuan’s vision began to blur.
The virtual world and the real world started to intertwine in Lin Chuan’s senses, with an unknown expectation lingering in his heart.
[Host, every virtual life experience you undertake is a beautiful footprint you leave behind. This system will preserve these memories for you in the form of a novel.]
[Now, we are randomly selecting a profession for you, please wait.]
The system’s voice echoed soothingly in Lin Chuan’s mind.
Lin Chuan waited a moment.
Soon enough, the system randomly drew a profession for him.
[This time, your profession is…]
[Self-made Entrepreneur.]
Lin Chuan’s eyebrows furrowed.
