Chapter 34 - Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Mr. Lin, you should turn yourself in (2/2)

Lin Chuan ended his chat with Youyou and turned to open the reader group chat.

In recent days, the size of Lin Chuan’s reader group had expanded at an astonishing speed.

Now, there were over 1300 members.

Lin Chuan thought for a moment and began tapping on the keyboard, “@everyone, brothers, my next book is coming soon!”

When the readers in the group saw Lin Chuan @everyone, they immediately replied.

[Yo ho! Preview of the new book!]

[Caught a wild author in action!]

[Author? Criminal suspect!]

[A new book? Is the author that prolific?]

[I think the author is born with the divine typing physique, seamlessly integrated with the keyboard!]

[Brothers, the author is starting a new book! It’s time to learn new skills again!]

[Learning skills? More like squatting in a cell!]

[How could I end up there if the author hasn’t?]

[Author, hurry up and tell us what criminal skills you’re teaching this time!]

[Ah spit, what’s the theme of the new book this time?]

[…]

The reader group was very active, and messages quickly flooded in, overwhelming Lin Chuan.

The corners of Lin Chuan’s mouth lifted slightly.

He also didn’t keep the new book a secret and revealed directly in the group, “Brothers, this time, the new book is about an assassin theme, should be very interesting.”

[Good, I’ll learn it right away!]

[Wait, what theme did you say?]

[Assassin? Holy shit!]

[Is this even a skill I can learn?]

[I’m doomed!]

[The author takes his leave, I concede!]

[May I quietly ask, is it the kind of ‘assassin’ we’re thinking of?]

[…]

Lin Chuan replied, “Yes, this time it’s a challenge of a brand-new profession, different from theft and swindling, it’s an assassin, the professional kind.”

The very active reader group suddenly went quiet for three or four seconds; nobody spoke.

The text looked plain, but coming from Lin Chuan, it felt quite thrilling.

A brand-new profession?

Assassin?

The professional kind?

Sheesh!

How could a non-professional write at a professional level?

Just like “Swindler”, the reason it attracted so many readers wasn’t it because Lin Chuan was a real swindler and even pulled off an impressive feat once?

So, this time Mr. Lin says he’s going to write about assassins…

Could it be that Mr. Lin has this hidden identity?

“Why aren’t you guys talking?”

In front of the computer, Lin Chuan frowned slightly as his fingers danced quickly across the keyboard.

The sudden silence was the most frightening.

A reader responded, “Criminal suspect Mr. Lin, what do you think I should say?”

Lin Chuan showed a bitter expression and quickly replied to clarify, “How did I become a criminal suspect? I’m writing books seriously.”

[Which serious book writer dares to say they can write about a professional assassin?]

[Hey! Police Number, I’m reporting my author in real name!]

[I declare, I am in this group only to read books, and I have nothing to do with criminal suspect Mr. Lin.]

[Criminal suspect Mr. Lin, just surrender yourself!]

[Surrender, and you may receive a lighter punishment!]

[Mr. Lin, you should turn yourself in!]
