I asked you to write a book, not to disclose your criminal record!

Chapter 11 Break the darkness with thunder!
In a claustrophobic room.

Old Zhang pulled up the curtains and locked the door. After making sure that his precious daughter would not find him, he took out a few brand new decks of playing cards from the drawer.

"Don't be too greedy, I'll start by cutting the cards."

Old Zhang murmured.

It turned out that after reading Lin Chuan's "The Con Man", he was itching to practice poker cheating in secret.

How can a gambler resist the temptation of cheating?
cut! cut! cut!
Lao Zhang practiced cutting cards frantically.

For a while.

The huge room was littered with playing cards.

But it is not without results.

I saw that Lao Zhang had nimble hands. While he was cutting the cards quickly, he slightly raised his thumb and saw the corners of several cards with his sharp eyes.

After going back and forth seven or eight times, he had already memorized the order of the first dozen or so cards.

However, to insiders, his technique seemed a bit clumsy and his hand speed was not fast enough, and the clues could be seen at a glance.

But Lao Zhang was already very happy after practicing to this level, and he was secretly delighted: "Lin is sincere and doesn't deceive me! When I have practiced well, I will dominate the casino!"

"Hahahaha!"

……

Before I knew it, it was already dusk outside.

The setting sun casts a pale yellow light that gives this old city area a golden coat, soft and warm.

Occasionally a few swallows flew by, drawing a black arc.

Lin Chuan stretched, got up to stretch his muscles, walked to the window, and took a deep breath of the fresh air outside the window, with a smile on his handsome face.

At this moment, everything seems to be getting better.

This may be the charm of the two alliance leader treasure chests!
Of course, the popularity/average subscription has also increased a lot.

[Work: "The Tazza"]

【Status: Available now. 】

[Popularity value (average subscription): 50/1000]

“This increase is not bad. Once the platform arranges a wave of recommendations, the average subscription should be able to increase further!”

Lin Chuan smiled.

The new book has just been published, so I’m not recommending it so soon.

ding dong -- ding dong --
Lin Chuan's cell phone rang.

"Lao Wang, what can I do for you?" Lin Chuan answered the phone and said with a smile.

Lao Wang, Lin Chuan’s colleague.

The two of them entered the industry together, and now Lao Wang has written a fine work that is expected to become a masterpiece.

Lin Chuan usually teases him as a "half-step masterpiece" writer.

As soon as Lao Wang opened his mouth, he began to force Wang: "How do you know that my book has reached 6,000 average subscriptions?"

Lin Chuan's face darkened: "..."

艹

He's here to show off!

Three thousand orders per order, quality product.

Six thousand orders per unit, great product.

"Lao Lin, why don't you speak? Is the signal bad?" Lao Wang said with a smile.

Lin Chuan curled his lips: "I can smell your breath even through the network cable."

Lao Wang laughed: "Isn't this just sharing my joy with my good brother? How are you doing now?"

“Oh, it’s not optimistic.”

Lin Chuan sighed, "I only received two Alliance Leader treasure chests today."

"I told you..." Lao Wang was suddenly startled, and said in a surprised tone, "What did you just say, two treasure chests for the alliance leader?"

“It’s still a little bit less.”

Lin Chuan grinned, feeling extremely happy.

It has always been Lao Wang who acts cool with him, but this time, he finally gets slapped in the face!
Lao Wang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Good, good, it seems your life as a thief is improving!"

"The Thief's Life is finished." Lin Chuan said with a smile, "I've started a new book."

Lao Wang was a little surprised: "You've opened a new book?"

"Yeah." Lin Chuan responded.

On the other end of the phone, Lao Wang had already opened Lin Chuan's author homepage. Seeing Lin Chuan's new book, he was even more surprised: "Lao Lin, you actually wrote about a con man?"

"Is there any problem?" Lin Chuan smiled.

Lao Wang teased, "Tell me the truth, are you from Rongmen or Qianmen?"

In the old days, people who traveled around the country to make a living were divided into all kinds of people. Over time, the number of professions gradually expanded to countless.

Rongmen refers to people who make a living by stealing.

A pickpocket is called a "laoxi" and a burglar is called a "zhayao".

Qianmen makes a living by cheating.

There are eight generals in Qianmen. The life experienced by Lin Chuan is that of a regular general among the eight generals, who makes a living by cheating.

Lin Chuan smiled and said, "If you ask again, the people from the Six Gates will come looking for me again."

"again?"

Lao Wang was startled. "You were asked to have tea?"

Lin Chuan grinned and told the story of how Shen Qianqian came to summon him.

Lao Wang laughed, and his laugh was very conscienceless: "Lao Lin, you are too harsh! You still dare to write a scam now, aren't you afraid that you will be locked up in a small dark room again, and then have a three-person trial?"

Lin Chuan was startled: "No way?"

"You are madly testing the bottom line of the law!" Lao Wang laughed.

Lin Chuan thought for a moment and said, "I don't think so. They've already made a movie. I won't get arrested for writing a novel, right?"

"I can't say for sure." Lao Wang paused, "But I have bad news for you."

Lin Chuan was startled: "Are you going to act cool again?"

Lao Wang laughed and said, "Who do you think I am? This bad news is about you."

"You say." Lin Chuan frowned.

"You're in trouble! Your new book is published at the same time as two other authors who have published over 10,000 books. You should know the impact that will have."

Lao Wang became serious for once, his voice sounding deep.

Lin Chuan frowned and took a deep breath.

handy!

It’s so cool!

On Qihang Novels, authors with 10,000 subscriptions will receive traffic support when they publish new books.

However, the traffic of a website is limited, and the traffic given to the same new book is relatively fixed.

In other words, they are likely to attract a large number of readers and leave the others far behind.

Since someone takes the lion's share, someone else has to eat the dust.

Lin Chuan is most likely the latter.

"The two who have published 10,000 books are Han Dong and Hong Mei. There is a feud between them, so neither of them would give in to the other and chose to publish books at the same time."

Lao Wang explained to Lin Chuan.

"When the big guys fight, the little guys suffer." Lin Chuan smiled.

"By the way, there is worse news that I don't think you want to hear." Lao Wang said again.

"Are you going to show off again this time?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Look at you, you always look at me like this, I'm just sharing my joy with you." Lao Wang smiled, then changed the subject, "I just took a look at Handong's new book, guess what it's about?"

Lin Chuan frowned slightly: "What's the subject matter?"

"The title of his book is "King of Kings"!" Old Wang said shockingly.

"what?"

Lin Chuan's eyes widened and he took a breath of cold air.

It's over, come at me!
He also writes about con artists!

"If you don't have confidence, just change the subject and start another one in a few days," Lao Wang comforted.

Lin Chuan glanced out the window. The setting sun was sinking and dusk was approaching. He smiled and said, "Use thunder to shatter the darkness!"

Lao Wang was startled: "You are being awkward, right?"

Lin Chuan smiled and said, "The female police officer who summoned me said that my last book was well written and that I have the potential to become a great writer. I think so too."
