章 3: Chapter 3: Experience the New Career Immediately?

Overcast skies, the sky a blanket of gray, like a massive curtain folded upon itself, hiding the warmth of the sun beyond the clouds, felt somewhat oppressive, as though rain was about to fall.

Lin Chuan walked out of the police station and boarded the Route 13 bus without hesitation.

Ring-ring-ring—

His phone rang.

"Mom, what's up?" Lin Chuan answered the call.

"Chuan, how's the novel you've been writing coming along?" His mother asked with concern from the other end of the phone.

Lin Chuan's face twisted with bitterness, "It's not going well recently."

"Not going well, eh? Chuan, your auntie came by today and mentioned that her workplace is hiring clerical staff, contract-based. Why don't you give it a try?"

"Your auntie said the salary is decent. Including subsidies, you could make four or five thousand a month, and if you do well, there's even a chance to become a regular employee. That would mean job security for the future."

His mother rambled on and on.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Chuan replied, "I'll consider it."

His mother began to worry about his life-long matters, "If you have a job at an institution, it'll be easier to find a girlfriend. Remember that girl Hua from next door? She already has a kid..."

Lin Chuan gave a bitter laugh.

A girlfriend...

It wasn't as though there had never been a girl he liked, but shortly after they graduated, she married a rich second-generation and is now a married woman.

Cough, although she's become more attractive, Lin Chuan has gradually drifted further and further from her.

Out of reach.

"Chuan, are you listening to me? You stay in your rented room writing novels all day, not going out. Where will you find a girlfriend? Are you waiting for the girls to come knocking on your door?" His mother inevitably nagged a bit.

Girls coming to knock on my door?

Well, don't you know, there actually was one!

Only she was wearing a police uniform, taking me to the police station, locking me in an interrogation room, and grilling me fiercely.

But such a girl was nothing more than a ship passing in the night to me.

Meet again?

Forget it, Lin Chuan is scared Shen Qianqian might drag him back into the interrogation room for questioning.

Too draconian!

Absolutely nightmarish!

"Get out more, you hear me?" his mother reminded again.

Lin Chuan agreed, "Okay, I got it."

After hanging up, Lin Chuan looked out at the dim cityscape through the bus window, feeling the hard seats of the bus, quite uncomfortable, not nearly as soft as those in the interrogation room.

Lin Chuan took a deep breath and briefly summarized his current situation.

Good news: He possessed a golden opportunity.

Bad news: The golden opportunity was a bit tricky.

Good news: He could generate novels automatically.

Bad news: It almost landed him in jail.

This golden opportunity, well...

Lin Chuan thought it resembled a mystery box.

Careers were random.

If he could experience some remarkable careers, then he would likely have a chance to gain the corresponding skills...

That would mean life on easy mode!

But his first time, he experienced life as a Thief, receiving lock-picking skills.

That was seriously tricky!

So, Lin Chuan had to pin his hopes on writing novels.

There isn't a child that cries every day, nor a novel that flops with each release, right?

As for love, marriage, and carrying on the family line—those life events weren't even within Lin Chuan's considerations.

When making ends meet was a problem, what was the use in thinking so far ahead?

With money, he would have everything.

It might seem utilitarian, but faced with the stark reality, that's just how it was.

Money can solve most problems.

As for the things money can't solve, those aren't for Lin Chuan to worry about.

So, make money!

Lin Chuan opened his system panel.

[Work: "Life of a Thief"]

[Popularity Value (Average Subscription): 76/100]

"Life of a Thief," 329,000 words, was published all at once on Sailing Novel Website.

Sailing Novel Website is a relatively liberal platform; you can publish serialized novels or release everything at once. It uses AI algorithms to distribute and recommend works. (Parallel world)

"Just 24 more average subscriptions, and I can unlock the next career experience," Lin Chuan said with a knowing smile.

After that, Lin Chuan opened the QQ reader group with great interest.

In the reader group with dozens of members, many people were @ing Mr. Lin.

[Author, your book is written so realistically!]

[It's too thrilling, author you've got talent!]

[Eh, something's off, Author you should be popping up about now!]

[It's been over three hours, how come there's no sign of you?]

[You didn't really get locked up, did you?]

[It's quite possible he went out to look for new inspiration and got arrested on the spot!]

[...]

Lin Chuan laughed and quickly sent a photo with the caption 'at the police station' to the group to dispel the rumors: Bros, I'm not locked up!

The group wasn't big, but it was rather active.

[Holy moly, author, did you really get locked up?]

[Did you actually go out to find inspiration?]

[Sheesh! Author, you're actually living your diary!]

Lin Chuan hurriedly defended himself, "Go away, I am a good citizen just helping the police with an investigation, don't get weird ideas!"

[I don't believe it, there's got to be some case on you, Author!]

[Case closed, no wonder it's written so realistically!]

[Using what's at hand, is this why the author never hits a block?]

[At this rate, with one word from you and one from me, the author will end up in prison!]

A few active readers were stirring things up.

The mood in the group suddenly became jubilant.

[Author, hurry up and teach me some lock-picking skills, there are still some locks I can't open.]

[Little brother, you were supposed to read the book, and now you're learning the tricks?]

[The author is so awesome, definitely a writer with techniques and practical experience!]

[Whatever the author writes next, I'm definitely following!]

[I also want to learn some new skills, hehe...]

[+1]

[+1]

"The next book?"

Lin Chuan leaned back on the stiff bus seat, muttering to himself.

The next book, huh.

When the average subscription reaches 100, I'll experience a new life, then I'll know.

Hehe...

The Route 13 bus wove through Anling City.

Arriving at the stop, Chuan got off.

Lin Chuan returned to Happiness Community from the police station.

This was an old neighborhood, with no crossbar restricting vehicle entry or exit, pale brick walls, and peeling plaster, which looked like it had grown moss, all faded and old under the gray sky.

The slow pace here was out of sync with Anling City's rapid rhythm, seeming more like a chugging old train—clunking and jolting—

For Lin Chuan, as long as it was livable, that was enough.

As for everything else, it didn't matter.

Lin Chuan, free from suspicion of any crime, felt light-hearted as he quickly opened the metal door of his rental, ready to boil some instant noodles.

Then.

He turned on the computer, focusing on the average subscription data on the backend.

But "Life of a Thief" wasn't attracting much interest, and the subscription rate grew very slowly.

Until the three hands of the clock lined up at the 12 o'clock position.

[Work: "Life of a Thief"]

[Popularity Value (Average Subscription Number): 100/100]

The Popularity Value finally reached 100!

At that moment.

A sweet electronic female voice arrived as expected.

[Always full of enthusiasm, always with anticipation, a new life, a new experience.]

[Congratulations, the novel adapted from the 'thief life' you experienced has reached 100 average subscriptions, that is, 100 Popularity Points, and you can unlock a new career experience.]

[Would you like to immediately experience a new career and start a new life?]


章 4: Chapter 4 I am so terrible!

The sound of rain gently pattered outside the rented room's window, rhythmically in the silent night, occasionally a whiff of wind would slip through the cracks of the window, stirring the eardrums, composing a soothing and light folk song.

The gloomy weather of the day, like many worries knotted in the chest, Lin Chuan liked it better now, with a little rain.

Listening to the voices in his mind, Lin Chuan revealed a smile.

A new profession, a new life, had arrived.

It was less to call it a life experience, and more a pass that allowed Lin Chuan to walk from reality into the Virtual World.

This Virtual World was just like opening a blind box—there was an unknown expectation waiting for Lin Chuan.

"Experience a new life immediately!"

The next instant, Lin Chuan's vision began to intertwine reality with the Virtual Reality.

He could hear the rain outside the window, feel the chill of the night wind penetrating the room, and he could also experience the fresh sensory impact brought by another Virtual World.

"I hope this time it's a beautiful life experience."

Lin Chuan silently prayed in his heart.

[Each experience is your beautiful memory.]

[This system will save this memory for you in the form of a novel.]

[In this experience, your profession is...]

[Swindler!]

Lin Chuan's eyes bulged.

Swindler?

Alright, alright, so this is how you play, system?

Last time, Thief.

This time, Swindler.

You're too cruel!

[Congratulations, host. You have obtained a skill—Cheating Techniques.]

[Using 'Virtual Reality' technology, we are creating a new world for you.]

With the drop of the sweet electronic sound, a new world gradually appeared before Lin Chuan's eyes.

In the Virtual New World, Lin Chuan had clear sensory perceptions of sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste, and moreover, had a high degree of freedom to control his own behavior.

He could do whatever he wanted.

Inside the new world.

In a huge and luxurious hall, exquisite sculptures, dazzling crystal chandeliers, and glittering gold decorations—the hall's neon lights flashed non-stop, weaving into a colorful tapestry.

Dreamlike and hazy.

Amidst the crowded throng, Lin Chuan was there, the scent of perfume and tobacco flooding his nostrils, his ears filled with a cacophony of sounds.

Some laughed loudly, some cheered, and others wailed in despair.

"This must be a casino," Lin Chuan muttered to himself.

Where a Swindler appeared, a casino was the likely place.

This life experience was truly cruel!

Lin Chuan quickly made his way through the crowd, and a beautiful waitress in a white shirt and a tight-fitting black skirt, with a graceful figure, immediately greeted him.

"Sir, how may I assist you?"

"I'd like to play a couple of hands."

Lin Chuan had acquired the system's gifted Cheating Techniques; his mind was filled with information about dice, cards, mahjong, and more.

"Very well, sir, please follow me," the pretty waitress beckoned Lin Chuan up to the second floor.

On the second floor, there were spacious lounges, noisy and bustling with loud voices and foul language amid the din.

"To hell with it, I'm flowering on the gang!"

"Damn it, All-in!"

"You wretched little cheat, your grandpa's got four Ks!"

"..."

Lin Chuan strolled leisurely, casually entering one of the lounges.

Inside the lounge, a group of gamblers with stern faces surrounded a gambling table, their eyes bloodshot from concentration, gazing intently at the table, full of expectation and tension.

In front of the gambling table stood a sexy woman.

She shook the Dice Cup in both hands; the dice spun and tumbled inside it, making a crisp colliding sound.

In the casino, this woman was known as Dice Girl.

Lin Chuan's ears twitched; he could clearly hear the sound inside the Dice Cup, and every collision was subtly different.

If it were another time, Lin Chuan, the casino newbie, surely wouldn't have been able to distinguish it.

But now, he was a master of Cheating Techniques, no longer a newcomer.

Clack!

The Dice Cup landed on the table, and the dice settled with a clear sound to the ear.

The gamblers hastily placed their bets.

Lin Chuan lit a cigarette and casually tossed a chip onto the table.

Bet small.

"No more bets!"

Dice Girl leaned over with a charming smile and slowly lifted the dice cup at an extremely slow speed to reveal the result.

"Big, big, big, big, big!"

Lin Chuan inadvertently caught a glimpse of the scenery when Dice Girl leaned over, and it indeed was big but was the product of technology.

The dice cup was opened.

122, small.

Lin Chuan had bet correctly.

Lin Chuan smiled, "listening" dice skills weren't so difficult after all.

Each face of the dice had different degrees of indentations, which led to each side making different sounds upon collision and when hitting the ground.

Inside the dice cup, each collision the dice made emitted a subtle difference in sound.

The sound of landing was even more distinct and audible.

"I've really done it, I've become an expert in 'listening' dice!"

The next round began.

Dice Girl continued to shake the dice cup, the amplitude of her shaking was large, and the two mounds of technology on her chest also began to shake, drawing the gamblers' gleaming eyes to unanimously look up and down.

The casino was filled with a unique kind of excitement.

Lin Chuan continued to place bets.

If Chen Xiaodao could turn twenty dollars into twenty-five million, then earning two hundred and fifty thousand shouldn't be a problem for me, right?

Lin Chuan thought to himself.

However, he remained cautious and didn't place loud bets.

There's always someone better than you are, heaven beyond the heavens.

In the casino, surely there are more than one swindler.

And with advanced technology nowadays, who knows what might be waiting to trap a swindler.

Lin Chuan decided to keep it low and practice his hand, getting familiar with 'listening' dice.

In the following few rounds of betting, Lin Chuan's bets were very accurate.

But each time he bet small amounts of chips and even intentionally bet wrong occasionally.

In a casino, a person who always wins is certainly suspicious.

In the dice room, Lin Chuan made a small profit.

Change venues.

Lin Chuan left the dice room and entered the poker room.

There are many ways to play poker.

Lin Chuan sat at an 'All-in' round table.

All-in, also known as a Flush.

The ultimate showdowns of 'God of Gamblers,' 'Knight of Gamblers,' 'Saint of Gamblers,' they all play All-in.

At the start of the game, the croupier would hand out two cards, and the player with better cards would decide the betting amount, while others choose to "call," "raise," and so on, to not "call" is to lose.

Until five cards are dealt, players reveal their bottom cards, and the player with the higher hand wins.

Lin Chuan began to play All-in.

Lin Chuan looked at this angle and quietly hummed a tune to himself.

"Dum-dum-dum-dum..."

The exclusive BGM of the God of Gamblers!

This scene was too novel for Lin Chuan, he had only seen it in films.

But now, it was a real experience.

The croupier was a handsome young man who looked at everyone, "Which gentleman would like to shuffle the cards?"

Lin Chuan raised his hand, took the deck of cards, but only casually cut the deck a couple of times.

In the gaps, he glanced at the corners of several cards, with no further development.

The first hand, Lin Chuan felt his cards and did not call.

The second and third were the same.

However, each time Lin Chuan shuffled the cards, even though it seemed casual, he caught a glimpse of several cards.

By the fourth hand, Lin Chuan began to call.

He had the Two of Hearts face down, with the Three of Clubs, Four of Clubs, Five of Diamonds on the table, and the final card, the Ace of Spades.

Though a small straight, it already swept the board.

It turned out that Lin Chuan hadn't cheated by stealing, hiding, or swapping cards; he created extremely subtle creases on the cards with each shuffle and memorized them, and after three rounds, he reshuffled the deck to arrange the cards into the sequence he wanted.

The fifth hand, he won big all the same.

Suddenly, a special alarm sounded in the poker room and the gamblers immediately panicked.

"The police are here."

"Run!"

"Damn it, I just won some money!"

Lin Chuan's heart skipped a beat. Was he going to be caught so soon?
