Chapter 55: Chapter 55: I’m Still Struggling Over Whether or Not to Agree to Your Request
Zhang Xinxin was momentarily taken aback, then a smile appeared on her face, “Do you want to play the earnest type or the not-so-earnest type?”
“Little Landlady, you know me, I am an earnest person,” Lin Chuan said seriously, “However, when the role demands it, I can adapt.”
Zhang Xinxin laughed instead of getting angry, “But I’m an earnest girl.”
“What kind of earnest girl watches short videos every day?” Lin Chuan retorted.
“Watching short videos means I’m not earnest? You watched them too, and you still claim to be an earnest person.”
Zhang Xinxin straightened her back and lifted her face slightly, countering Lin Chuan.
However, with her height of 168 cm, she was half a head shorter than Lin Chuan and lacked a bit of imposing presence.
Lin Chuan chuckled, “I watch them to learn skills.”
“I also… uh, no, I just have nothing better to do.”
As soon as she said this, Zhang Xinxin’s pretty face quickly turned red, and her subsequent voice was much lower.
She nearly misspoke.
Lin Chuan grinned, “Skills aren’t something you can learn just because you want to.”
Zhang Xinxin hadn’t given up and looked at Lin Chuan earnestly, “Lin Chuan, what will it take for you to teach me?”
In the supermarket.
Lin Chuan thought for a moment, took out his phone, opened the browser, and typed ‘Is teaching someone hacker skills illegal?’ into the search bar.
Having too many experiences with the Pure Desire Occupation.
Lin Chuan subconsciously considered whether these actions might be illegal.
Fortunately, Baidu provided the answer.
It’s not illegal.
So, Lin Chuan glanced at Zhang Xinxin, “Little Landlady, what do you want to do with these skills?”
“To search and kill Trojans, to prevent viruses.”
Zhang Xinxin smiled, but there was an unsaid second half of the sentence she didn’t voice.
To watch short videos conveniently.
These websites always have a large number of Trojans and viruses lurking within, and one could easily get invaded if careless, which was incredibly annoying.
“Alright then.”
Lin Chuan rubbed his chin, an idea forming in his head.
Teaching the Little Landlady some techniques to search and kill Trojans and viruses, and charging a tuition fee for it wasn’t bad either. It would also be a way to monetize his skills.
The Little Landlady beamed with joy, her face excited, “Teacher Lin Chuan, with such great skills, why do you still work as a writer?”
Lin Chuan’s face darkened, “Is being a writer that bad?”
Zhang Xinxin said cheerfully, “Not at all, I’m just purely curious. Working in the cybersecurity department of a big company must be pretty lucrative, right?”
Lin Chuan frowned slightly, falling into brief contemplation.
What the Little Landlady said made some sense.
Most web novel writers didn’t earn much, but Lin Chuan was utterly averse to the idea of working for a company.
996, 007, just hearing about it, Lin Chuan couldn’t help shaking his head, dismissing this terrifying thought.
Working? I could never do that in this lifetime.
Once people get accustomed to working, there’s always more work to be done.
This was also one of the reasons why Lin Chuan chose to write.
He certainly had to continue publishing his books.
After all, each new occupational experience gained him a new skill.
Being a web novel writer also became part of his Hexagon Warrior persona.
However.
After careful consideration, now possessing ‘Top-Level Hacker Technique’, he realized that if he wanted to monetize his skills without breaking the law or joining a company, he had to set up a ‘studio’.
