In mainstream society, he could openly admit to being a “web novel writer,” an identity that often elicited sneers.
Even compared to the “iron rice bowl” job of a civil servant, which his mother prized, Lin Chuan wouldn’t trade for anything.
Good benefits?
——I’ve had a film adaptation.
Steady job, high social status?
——I’ve had a film adaptation.
Easy to find a partner?
——I’ve had a film adaptation.
Hold on, are you asking about this? Well, I have a girlfriend now, hehe.
“Chairman, two pieces of good news have come in one after another, so shouldn’t we celebrate?” The Little Landlady handed Lin Chuan his breakfast milk.
“How should we celebrate?”
“What do you think?”
The Little Landlady, experiencing the taste of something new, immediately wrapped her arms around Lin Chuan’s neck, blinked her eyes, and revealed a bright and mischievous smile that was endearing.
Lin Chuan’s lips twitched: “Xinxin, you’re almost immobile, I’m afraid of hurting you. Take some time to rest first.”
A hint of shyness appeared on the Little Landlady’s face, and she smiled: “I’ll listen to you.”
Lin Chuan took a large gulp of breakfast milk to replenish his nutrients.
Then, he continued to look at his phone.
On the phone, Youyou sent him another message, teasingly: “Lin Chuan, I’ve noticed you’ve got the luck of the ‘Son of Destiny.’
“How so?” Lin Chuan replied with a smile.
“I heard some rumors, originally the first-place award wasn’t secured for you,” Youyou answered.
“Ah?”
Lin Chuan frowned, quite surprised.
Youyou then explained:
“Initially, the Anti-Fraud Writing Contest’s jury thought your ‘All-In’ was too cruel, bloody, and bordered on crossing the line, not suitable for film adaptation; they initially chose a work by a traditional literary circle author.”
“But in the past few days, the Old Street Factory District incident has caused a stir across the internet. After seeing it, the jury realized ‘All-In’ was closer to reality, so they re-evaluated and finally chose you as the winner.”
“If that’s not being the ‘Son of Destiny,’ then what is?”
Lin Chuan was startled, thought for a moment, and replied: “It might also be hard work, hahaha.”
This isn’t about being lucky; I worked through the night storming the brain!
Youyou thought Lin Chuan was joking, so she replied: “Of course, your hard work is also very important. Oh, I just received a notification. The Anti-Fraud Center and Sunshine Film and Television have set up a team. Their representative should contact you soon to discuss the film adaptation of ‘All-In.’
“Already?”
Lin Chuan was somewhat surprised by the speed of this development.
Youyou answered: “I’ll show you a few pictures, then you’ll understand why it’s so quick.”
Soon, several screenshots appeared on Lin Chuan’s phone.
These were the comment sections for the announcement of the Anti-Fraud Writing Contest winners.
The comment section was buzzing.
[This first place winner, I want to see its film adaptation in a month!]
[A month? How could it be filmed so quickly? If not, film it to death!]
[You have at most a week!]
[Online nudging! Film quickly!]
[Strongly suggest, please have this author act as Mr. Lin!]
[Quickly make it, let everyone see the importance of anti-fraud!]

Lin Chuan laughed, his face showing a satisfied smile. After pondering for a moment, he sent Youyou a message: “I plan to take this opportunity to release a new book.”
“So soon?”
This time, it was Youyou’s turn to be surprised.
Inside Sailing Tower, Youyou, looking at Lin Chuan’s message, widened her eyes and replied, “Lin Chuan, isn’t that a bit too intense?”
“Didn’t you say a great era of rivalry is coming? I figure ‘strike first to gain the upper hand.’ While my popularity is still good, I should hurry and release a new book,” Lin Chuan explained with a smile.
In the second half of the year, multiple authors with ten-thousand-strong subscriptions, Heavenly Kings, Influent Authors, and Platinum Authors will release new books.
Sailing Novel Website is about to witness an era of ‘Clash of Titans.’
And for Lin Chuan’s next new book “Last Week’s Antique,” he would need to reach twenty thousand Popularity Value (Average Subscription) for the entire book to unlock the next career life experience.
Twenty thousand Average Subscription is already among the top works within Sailing Novel Website.
Even though Lin Chuan’s “All-In” reached twenty thousand Average Subscription, he wasn’t sure “Last Week’s Antique” could achieve such high results.
So, the fledgling must soar early.
“Right, the era of big rivalry, do you have any drafts saved for your new book?” Youyou suddenly remembered and cooled down from her excitement about Lin Chuan’s Anti-Fraud award and film adaptation.
“A bit,” Lin Chuan laughed.
In the draft box, the system already helped me finish the book.
1.06 million words.
“It seems you’ve got very mature ideas and have put them into action,” Youyou said, feeling reassured upon seeing Lin Chuan’s “a bit.”
She had the feeling of a ‘teacher leading an outstanding student.’
Lin Chuan’s new book didn’t require her to worry at all and could still achieve excellent results, the explosive kind.
“Haha, indeed a bit mature,” Lin Chuan replied.
“Is it a crime autobiography?” Youyou asked directly.
Lin Chuan’s lips twitched: “Youyou, you know me; I write books seriously and never commit crimes.”
Youyou, holding her phone, had a beaming smile on her face: “That’s why I know your book will definitely be a crime autobiography, haha, quick, tell me what the theme is?”
“Antique forgery genre,” Lin Chuan said with a dry laugh, maneuvering his fingers to reply.
“Antiques? You tend to pick more niche themes,” Youyou furrowed her brows.
“Niche themes mean no competition,” Lin Chuan replied with a smile.
Youyou chuckled.
You’re on the crime path; who can compete with you? Theft, swindlers, assassins, hackers, fraud, and now antique forgery—what author would go to these lengths?
All of a sudden!
Youyou remembered something and immediately sent Lin Chuan a message: “You just write antique-themed novels!”
“Eh, Youyou, why are you supporting me like this all of a sudden?” Lin Chuan was surprised and asked with a smile.
“At the last meeting, the editor-in-chief mentioned, although antique-themed novels are niche, they have a huge, huge, huge potential for film adaptation!” Youyou replied.
