Chapter 186 - Chapter 186: Chapter 153: Mr. Lin, Entering the Game with His Own Body! (Please Subscribe) (2/2)

At noon today, eating crab roe noodles, the Average Subscription was 5287. An afternoon has passed, and now it’s 5318.

“5318 minus 5287, with a total of 410 premium chapters…”

Lin Chuan’s gaze drifted to the upper left as he murmured a set of numbers, ultimately arriving at two values.

New chapter subscription count: 12710.

Average Subscription increase: 31.

An afternoon had passed, and there was only an increase of 31 Average Subscriptions, with the growth rate of Average Subscriptions sharply declining.

Which means, the incident of him accidentally knocking over a national treasure grade cultural relic has completely nullified the traffic gained from the previous anti-fraud writing contest, a total loss!

Even now, with “Last Week’s Antique” still listed in the powerful recommendations, it’s futile.

Lin Chuan took a deep breath and then took out his phone, opening the reader group he hadn’t checked in the last couple of days.

——’Abiding by the law is everyone’s responsibility’.

The reader group was still lively.

Compared to before, the reader group was much more active.

Messages: 999+

Moreover, the number of messages in the group was still increasing.

“Lin Chuan, maybe you shouldn’t look at the reader group, huh?” Youyou, who happened to glance at Lin Chuan’s phone screen, said resignedly.

As Lin Chuan’s editor, she always monitored Lin Chuan’s activities closely.

Thus, she had specifically created an alt account to join Lin Chuan’s reader group.

This afternoon, while Hu Shu was taking them on a tour of the museum, she snuck a peek at Lin Chuan’s reader group. The comments inside… even Youyou couldn’t help but gasp.

“I still have to see it no matter what!”

Lin Chuan’s heart sank, he said firmly.

These readers were all committed subscribers, the true fans; the group still had 2000 members with not a single person leaving. That alone confirmed that there was a strong emotional bond between him and his readers.

[@Mr. Lin, you’re in deep trouble, I heard that the cultural relic is worth a billion yuan!]

[Now you’re really done for, the entire internet is boycotting your new book, you’re completely doomed!]

[Guys, remember to @ me if there’s a twist in the story.]

[Suspect Mr. Lin, it’s alright, I’ll still read your book after three years.]

[Guys, is there a way to apply to become a prison guard? I want to give Mr. Lin a whipping and urge him to seriously write novels in prison.]

[You better be serious about that whipping!]

[@Mr. Lin, I’m one of your female fans, I really like your novels, but my girlfriend’s family deals in antiques and she won’t let me read your book anymore, I’ve even broken up with her now!]

[I heard you’re out on bail now, hurry up and come out! @Mr. Lin]

[…]

Lin Chuan’s fingertips flew swiftly, each message flashing across his vision.

Whew—

Lin Chuan exhaled deeply, smiled, and murmured softly, “At least the brothers left me some face.”

Fortunately, this group of unserious ‘criminals’ didn’t curse too outrageously.

However, Lin Chuan could now only continue to play dead, not bubbling up to the surface, not speaking, as the police had already blocked off the news, and Old Bai hadn’t leaked the information that the ‘relic was a fake’.

But the boycott of “Last Week’s Antique” across the internet really affected him.

Although the novel was generated by the system and not written by him, it was created based on his real-life experiences, with each plot point born from his own involvement.

Every imitation of an antique was also handmade by him, none of it fictitious.

Therefore, each novel generated by the system was as precious as treasure to Lin Chuan.

Only those who experienced it know its profound meaning.

He hoped the novel would be a hit, wished for more friends to venture into that virtual world with him, to savor Mr. Lin’s life story.

That was also his inner world.

Lin Chuan watched the breeze brush over the river’s surface, feeling a sudden thrill, then resolutely said, “I should also do something for Mr. Lin!”
