章 23: Chapter 23 This World is Too Crazy

The Scarred Man was dumbfounded.

His mouth drooped, his eyes staring at the 10, J, Q, K, A on the table, revealing full surprise and confusion.

He couldn't utter a single word!

He lost.

The other four people at the table looked at Lin Chuan in disbelief.

This slightly handsome young man actually turned over an Ace of Spades.

Was it luck?

Or...

As an onlooker, Shen Qianqian, along with the audience focused on table 2 in the live stream, were all shocked to their cores!

In the live stream, the screen was filled with question marks and '666'.

[Anti-fans speak up!]

[This is the ability of the suspect, Mr. Lin!]

[I've only seen this scene in movies!]

[Is this a pre-recorded broadcast?]

[The hole card was clearly a Five of Diamonds, how did it turn into the Ace of Spades?]

[Incredible! He must have cheated!]

[Where did his Ace of Spades come from?]

[And where did the Five of Diamonds hole card go?]

[A divine move!]

[@Anling Police, I report player number 9 for cheating, and I have enough evidence!]

[The live broadcast effect is top-notch!]

[...]

Shen Qianqian took a deep breath, suppressing her curiosity, and appeared on camera again, her voice sweet:

"Dear viewers."

"Our table number 2 has determined a winner, and the winner is player number 9."

Hearing Shen Qianqian's sweet voice, a smile appeared on Lin Chuan's handsome face.

With his skills in cheating techniques, he actually didn't need to look at the hole card.

But he deliberately showed the Five of Diamonds to the camera, allowing the live stream audience to see it, before finally turning over an Ace of Spades.

The purpose was to shock the audience to the greatest extent and to accumulate popularity for himself.

Now it seemed, Lin Chuan had succeeded.

His miraculous card switching quickly climbed the trending lists on the Kuaishou app, bringing even more viewers into the live stream.

At the moment.

The concurrent online viewer count in the live stream had reached "100k+", trending for the moment.

Lin Chuan's popularity was also soaring.

The 'Who is the Gambling King' competition was still ongoing.

Winners had already been determined at other tables.

The victorious six sat at one table.

Among them.

Player number 9 Lin Chuan, number 13 Chen Ming, and number 20 Old Zhang were the most prominently touted.

Because, under the lens of the live broadcast, all three had demonstrated their cheating techniques, especially Lin Chuan, who was astonishing.

The second round of the finals was also a Flush gameplay.

Poker cards began to be distributed.

Lin Chuan had an Ace of Diamonds face up, and a Five of Clubs as the hole card.

Chen Ming had a Spade K face up, and a King of Diamonds as the hole card.

Old Zhang had a Ten of Clubs face up, and a Spade 10 as the hole card.

...

Lin Chuan had the highest face-up card.

He glanced at the other five players' faces, smiled, and pushed all his chips out.

"All-in!"

[Mr. Lin goes all-in again, is this confidence?]

[This scene feels familiar, I think I've seen it in movies too!]

[I suspect he is possessed by Zhou Xingxing!]

[If you paid attention to his earlier performance, you would know he has the ability to go all-in.]

[I still don't understand how he switches his cards!]

[At this table, there are at least three swindlers, it's just a matter of seeing who has the superior cheating skills.]

"I'll call."

Chen Ming laughed heartily, his goal being to carry out an anti-gambling publicity.

All-in, for better showmanship.

As for winning or losing, he had already been thrashed by Lin Chuan more than a dozen times, and he didn't dare to compete with Lin Chuan.

"I'm in too!"

Old Zhang smiled.

Old Zhang felt no pressure.

He had long known that Lin Chuan was the author of "Swindler," Mr. Lin, which meant Lin Chuan was like a half-mentor to him.

Losing to a mentor was nothing to be ashamed of!

The other three extras, after some thought, steeled themselves and went all-in as well.

The "Who is the Gambling King" event, after Lin Chuan's two all-ins, suddenly became much simpler.

But the level of tension and excitement had escalated more than just a notch.

Many viewers were guessing which player would win this round.

As the remaining three cards were dealt, the situation became clear.

Old Zhang's hand was a 10, three Aces, with a 10 in the hole.

Chen Ming's hand was a K, three Queens, with a K in the hole.

Lin Chuan's hand was the Ace, 2, 3, 4 of Diamonds, with a 5 of Clubs in the hole.

Not only were the live stream viewers fixated on the three players' cards, but even the extras who had just been eliminated were watching the three intensely.

Everyone could see that these three were skilled in cheating techniques.

Who is the Gambling King?

Only by revealing the cards would they know!

"I'll reveal first."

Old Zhang was the first to flip his hole card: three Aces and a pair of 10s.

Instantly,

Chen Ming's mouth curled up in a slight smile as he flipped his hole card.

It wasn't a K but a Q.

Four Queens and a K!

The live stream exploded with excitement once more.

[I thought player number 20 had the best chance of winning, but it turns out that number 13 is the real boss!]

[Player 13 with his smart suit, truly hides his light under a bushel!]

[That card switch is awesome!]

[Player 13 has basically secured the title of Gambling King.]

[Player 9 has no chance, a Little Straight can't beat four Queens.]

[Right, his palms are empty; he had no chance to switch cards, an impossible comeback.]

[Nonsense, if you have read "Swindler" by player number 9, you'd know that situations like this are a piece of cake for him.]

[Mr. Lin, pull off another divine move please!]

The live stream audience was once again intently watching Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan looked around calmly and, without any sleight of hand, flipped over his hole card.

A five.

But... it was not a Club, it was a Diamond!

Wow!

The entire live stream went into an uproar!

[How is this possible?]

[Did he really pull off a last-minute kill!?]

[A flush! But where did his Diamond five come from?]

[I've been watching his hands the whole time. He only glanced at the Club five in the hole card once and never touched it again; how could it have changed to a Diamond five?]

[Is this really a live stream and not a movie?]

[I'm doubting my own eyes now!]

[This is Mr. Lin's power, Mr. Lin is awesome!]

[This is the suspected criminal Mr. Lin!]

[Gambling King!]

By the gambling table,

The event's host, Shen Qianqian, appeared once more.

There was a gleam of delight in her eyes, and she couldn't help but smile broadly as she said,

"Dear viewers,"

"After a fierce competition, the Gambling King has emerged, and that is our player number 9!"

"Many viewers in front of the live stream do not know, but player number 9 is actually an online novel writer."

"He possesses cheating techniques and has written a novel on the subject of cheating—'Swindler,' published on Sailing Novel Website. Interested friends can click the link at the bottom of the screen to save this book."

"Now, back to the main topic, the goal of this event..."

Sure enough, a link popped up at the bottom of the live stream.

The audience immediately filled the screen with question marks!

[Holy shit! An online novel writer?]

[His incredible cheating techniques, and he chooses to write novels!?]

[This guy leaves behind big money in the casino to write novels, his principles are frighteningly upright!]

[The world has gone mad!]

[Who would believe it, the online novel writer turns out to be the King of Cheating!]


章 24: Chapter 24 Chuan, something big has happened!

"[Did that police comrade just say the book was his? I'm gonna learn some techniques!]

[Bro, Sailing Novel Website, search for 'Swindler'.]

[That's hardcore! Indeed, reality is much more exciting than novels!]

[I'm still wondering, how did he swap the cards?]

[I wanna know too!]

[Quick, ask the host!]

[+1]

[...]

Shen Qianqian smiled radiantly, after introducing the purpose of the event, she slightly turned her face and looked towards Lin Chuan:

"The audience is particularly eager to know how you managed to swap the cards so skillfully in the two gambling rounds just now. But since our video surveillance didn't detect any of your actions, could you explain it to us?"

"Of course, I can."

Lin Chuan nodded, a smile appearing on his handsome face.

Lin Chuan then explained, "Hello everyone, in the first round, I had control of the Ace of Spades from the start. After showing the Five of Diamonds as my bottom card, the moment I set it down, I had already swapped it with the Ace of Spades."

"The second round, I did the same trick."

"This trick, called 'Heaven and Earth', has a more detailed disclosure in my novel 'Swindler'."

"I want to share with everyone that at the gambling table, it's all about fraud techniques. Once you sit at the table, there's only losing..."

...

The anti-gambling campaign went very smoothly, receiving very positive feedback.

Half an hour later, the live broadcast ended.

Shen Qianqian and Lin Chuan left the hall, walking along the long corridor.

"Not bad, Lin Chuan!"

Shen Qianqian raised her eyebrows playfully, praising Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan smiled: "Officer Shen is the traffic password, attracting quite a few viewers."

"Smarty-pants."

Shen Qianqian laughed, then became concerned about the Average Subscription of Lin Chuan's novel, "With such promotion, your novel subscription should see a significant increase, right?"

Lin Chuan pursed his lips, pondering, "I'm not really sure, but I don't think I'll starve."

Some people like watching videos but don't enjoy reading novels.

Some people are the opposite.

Turning live broadcast viewers into novel readers, Lin Chuan wasn't sure about the conversion rate.

"Giggle--"

Shen Qianqian laughed, saying, "With your unique skills, would you really starve?"

Lin Chuan grinned: "I dare not use this unique skill to make a living. I reckon the moment I do, you'll transform and come to catch me."

"Transform... what transform?"

Shen Qianqian was stunned, a trace of confusion appearing on her face.

"Err… just like transforming into Ultraman to execute justice and defeat the little monsters," Lin Chuan explained hastily, making it up on the spot.

Phew--

Transforming into the red Dragon Hollyhock, from sweet to stunning, he almost let slip.

Soon, they arrived at the police station's reception room.

Captain Li Bing personally poured a cup of tea for Lin Chuan, saying with a cheerful smile, "Comrade Lin Chuan, the anti-gambling campaign has been a resounding success, and you played a crucial role!"

Lin Chuan sat down, smiling, "Captain Li is too kind. It's what I should do as a citizen."

"You must visit us at Anling Police Station more often," Captain Li Bing said with a smile.

Just as Lin Chuan picked up his teacup and took a sip, he looked over at Shen Qianqian: "Captain Li, I'm afraid Officer Shen might interrogate me again."

"Writer Lin!"

Shen Qianqian pursed her lips, "As long as you abide by the law, how could I possibly arrest you!"

Li Bing laughed heartily from the sidelines: "Comrade Lin Chuan, Officer Shen is perceptive. The previous two interrogations were just for investigation. What I mean is, we hope that Comrade Lin Chuan can cooperate more with our police station to better promote anti-gambling."

Lin Chuan smiled broadly: "If there's more anti-gambling promotion, I will definitely cooperate actively!"

3000 yuan!

Ah... money or not, it doesn't matter; what I really hope for is to create a gambling-free environment!

You can call me to promote it every day!

That's what Lin Chuan thought to himself.

As he was leaving,

Captain Li Bing personally saw Lin Chuan out, patting him on the shoulder earnestly, "Comrade Lin Chuan, you must be a law-abiding good citizen!"

Lin Chuan's mouth twitched.

Captain Li, what's going on?

I haven't done anything, just published two novels.

"Captain Li, you're worrying too much, I've always been a law-abiding good citizen," Lin Chuan said with a bitter smile.

Li Bing nodded his head twice in quick succession: "That's good, that's good!"

Whew--

Lin Chuan let out a deep breath.

After leaving Anling Police Station, Lin Chuan boarded the familiar Route 13 bus.

Under the bright sunshine, the bus weaved through towering buildings before finally entering an old district in the east of the city, pulling up at the stop for Happiness Community.

Lin Chuan hummed a tune as he returned to his rented room.

At that moment.

Lin Chuan opened the system panel.

[Current Work: "Swindler".]

[Status: Released.]

[Popularity Value (Average Subscription): 513/1000.]

"Already have 500 average subscriptions, it seems that live-streaming promotions really work!" Lin Chuan revealed a grin.

Within just a few hours, the subscriptions increased by 400.

The pace couldn't be called slow!

Should reach a thousand subscriptions soon, maybe even more!

Hit product!?

If "Swindler" could reach an average subscription of 3000, achieving the status of a hit product, it would undoubtedly represent Lin Chuan breaking through a tough barrier and entering a whole new realm.

Similar to a practitioner breaking through a bottleneck, ascending to a higher world.

To rise one level is to see further, see more.

"I've been writing for quite a few years now, finally I can see some results!"

At that moment.

Lin Chuan could hardly contain his joy and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Let the bullets fly a bit longer!

As the average subscriptions continued to climb, Lin Chuan couldn't resist opening the author's backend to see what the readers were thinking and their comments.

However.

The first post he saw made Lin Chuan's mouth twitch and his face darken.

'@Han River Cyber Police @Liuhe Cyber Police @Handong Cyber Police @Yichang Cyber Police... I report, the author has written their own personal experiences in the novel, this is definitely a criminal record!'

Thankfully.

Lin Chuan had already been questioned once because of this book and had a record at Anling Police Station.

Otherwise, Lin Chuan would definitely have panicked.

Continuing to read on.

'It's so realistic! It's hard not to suspect that this is an autobiography!'

'I suggest the police do a background check on the author!'

'Protection! This is absolutely the most realistic swindler novel I've ever read!'

'Without decades of a swindler career, one absolutely couldn't write such a flavored novel!'

'Catch the author alive! Apprehend the criminal suspect, Mr. Lin!'

'...'

After scrolling through several pages of comments, Lin Chuan's face darkened even more.

"Better not to look at these comments!"

Lin Chuan spat.

If he continued to read, Lin Chuan might truly start to doubt whether he had actually committed a crime and might end up turning himself in at the police station.

The phrase "leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist" had imprinted itself in Lin Chuan's mind from the interrogation room.

Ring ring ring---

Lin Chuan's phone rang.

"Chuan, there's big trouble!"

As soon as he answered the phone, Old Wang's anxious voice came through.

"What happened?"

Lin Chuan was puzzled.

Old Wang immediately said, "Chuan, hurry up and check the Kuai Shou live streaming app!"
