Another piece of good news came.
[Work: “All-In”.]
[Current Status: Serializing.]
[Current Chapter Subscription Count: 2.8 million+.]
[Popularity Value (Average Subscription): 10,006/10,000.]
The Popularity Value (Average Subscription) of “All-In” had reached the standard!
Late at night.
In Happiness Community, the streetlights emitted a dim light, illuminating the narrow and twisting alleys, casting shadows on the walls covered in moss, highlighting the marks left by time.
The occasional bark of a dog, the rustling of the wind, slipped through the windows and into the cramped rental room, reaching Lin Chuan’s ears.
At this moment.
The system’s voice echoed in Lin Chuan’s mind.
[Always be passionate, always be hopeful, a new life, new experiences.]
[Host, congratulations, the novel “All-In” adapted from your experiences as a salesman has reached 10,000 average subscriptions, that is, 10,000 points of popularity, unlocking a new career experience.]
[Would you like to immediately experience a new career and start a new life?]
This voice was very familiar, very intimate.
As though it resonated within Lin Chuan’s heart.
Yes.
A new life, here it came again.
“‘Thief,’ ‘swindler,’ I’ve tried those, ‘assassin’ I’ve also played, ‘hacker’ life I’ve experienced, even ‘fraud salesman,’ I carried out with gusto.”
“This time, there’s no way you could randomly assign me a criminal profession again!”
“Hahaha!”
Lin Chuan laughed somewhat unrestrainedly.
Yes, with each criminal career he experienced, Lin Chuan was confident that the system’s bag of tricks was running low.
With one less criminal career, the chance of Lin Chuan experiencing a normal career increased a bit more.
There had to be a normal career at some point!
Lin Chuan thought to himself that the best would be a business career and then acquiring some business skills, leading the era, and quickly becoming the richest man.
After all, his current situation.
A bit of money he had, but not much.
720 Network Security Company was also funded by Little Landlady, still developing, not earning much.
People.
When they have no money, think that earning three thousand a month is enough; when they make three thousand, believe that earning over ten thousand a month makes them a winner in life.
However, when the income exceeds ten thousand, find that the mental state is not as good as when they had no money.
Because, when you have no money, the only worry is not having money.
Once you have money, the worries increase.
For example, how the performance today is, how the company is doing, which girl to choose as a girlfriend, how much the dowry should be.
One partner costs 388k+, two would cost 776k+, three would be 1.164 million+.
But having just 1.164 million+ is definitely not enough, you also need to have a house.
Little Landlady is a big little rich lady.
But Lin Chuan felt that he could still strive harder and hadn’t reached the point of living off a woman yet.
It’s a simple principle: the economic base determines the superstructure, have money in your pocket, and you speak a bit louder.
So…
“System, give me a business career, along with a god-level business ability!”
Lin Chuan hummed.
Soon.
The system’s voice rang out—
[Host, please pay attention.]
[Each experience is a beautiful memory for you.]
[This system will save this memory for you in the form of a novel.]
[Randomly assigning your next career experience.]
[Host, congratulations, the profession you will experience this time is…]
[Antique Maker!]
“Antique Maker, that name does sound quite novel and stylish,” mumbled Lin Chuan, frowning slightly,
Antique Maker…
Though not a business, making high-priced products like antiques is completely lucrative.
Just as Lin Chuan was musing, he suddenly froze.
Wait a minute, I… hang on!
‘Antique’ and ‘Maker,’ these two words, don’t seem to fit together!
The antiques made, are they still antiques?
The evening breeze continued to blow gently outside the window, shadows of trees swaying under the moonlight like ‘aquatic grass crossing the water,’ occasionally the sound of car horns breaking the silence of the night.
Suddenly, Lin Chuan understood!
Antique Maker, isn’t that just another word for counterfeiting!?
Counterfeiting!
System, is this how you’ve started playing the game now?
Always worried that as an online writer I’d have no pension, so you keep handing me these ‘very secure’ professions, right?
At this point, the system provided an explanation—
[Host, please pay attention!]
[Currently, in your country, there is no explicit legal prohibition against replicating cultural relics or making antiques. Therefore, the mere act of replication, that is, Antique Forgery, does not constitute an illegal or criminal act.]
Lin Chuan wasn’t as easily fooled as a three-year-old child anymore.
Now.
Which Antique Maker involved in counterfeiting wasn’t selling replicas as genuine articles?
Without passing them off as real, why bother with counterfeiting?
Selling replicas as genuine items is an act of fraud, a bonafide criminal offense, an easy ticket to jail.
If you make it clear they are replicas, those who come to buy are middlemen, and without big operations, you can’t make much money.
Moreover, the novel produced by this would inevitably receive critical voices: This damn thing’s a novel, why the hell is the protagonist so timid, what’s wrong with passing off fakes as real, go for it!
Lin Chuan took a deep breath.
System, you’ve started playing your strategies openly.
Damn this is frustrating!
