Chapter 11 Shatter the Darkness with Thunder!
In the claustrophobic room.
Lao Zhang pulled up the curtains and locked the door. After making sure that his precious daughter would not find out, he took out a few brand new decks of playing cards from the drawer.
"Don't be greedy. I'll start by cutting the cards."
Lao Zhang murmured.
It turned out that after reading Lin Chuan's "The Swindler", he was eager to practice poker tricks secretly.
How can a gambler resist the temptation of tricks?
Cut! Cut! Cut!
Lao Zhang practiced cutting cards frantically.
For a while.
The huge room was full of playing cards.
But it was not without results.
Lao Zhang's hands were flexible. While cutting the cards quickly, his thumbs slightly lifted, and his sharp eyes saw a few corners of the cards.
After seven or eight times, he had memorized the order of the first dozen cards.
However, his technique was a little clumsy in the eyes of insiders, and his hand speed was not fast enough, and the clues could be seen at a glance.
But Lao Zhang was already happy after practicing to this level, and he was secretly happy in his heart: "Lin is not lying to me! When I practice well, I will be able to dominate the casino!"
"Hahahaha!"
...
Unconsciously, the world outside was already dusk.
The setting sun was shining, and the pale yellow light gave this old city a golden coat, soft and warm.
Occasionally, a few swallows flew by, drawing a black arc.
Lin Chuan stretched his waist, got up to stretch his muscles, walked to the window, took a deep breath of fresh air outside the window, and a smile hung on his handsome face.
At this moment, it seemed that everything had become beautiful.
This may be the charm of the two leader treasure chests!
Of course, the popularity value/average subscription has also increased a lot.
[Work: "Old Swindler"]
[Status: Available. 】
【Popularity value (average subscription): 50/1000】
"This increase is not bad. After the platform arranges a wave of recommendations, the average subscription should be able to increase!"
Lin Chuan said with a smile.
The new book has just been released, so it is not so fast to recommend it.
Ding Dong-Ding Dong-
Lin Chuan's mobile phone rang.
"Lao Wang, what can I do for you?" Lin Chuan answered the phone and smiled.
Lao Wang, Lin Chuan's colleague.
The two entered the industry together at the beginning. Now Lao Wang has written a fine work and is expected to hit the great masterpiece.
Lin Chuan usually teases him as a 'half-step great masterpiece' writer.
When Lao Wang opened his mouth, he was like a bully: "How do you know that my book has reached 6,000 average subscriptions?"
Lin Chuan's face darkened: "..."
Fuck
He is here to show off!
3,000 average subscriptions, a masterpiece.
6,000 average subscriptions, a great masterpiece.
"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 aura even through the network cable."
Old Wang laughed: "Isn't this just sharing the joy with my good brother? How are you now?"
"Ah, it's not optimistic."
Lin Chuan sighed, "I only received two alliance leader treasure chests today."
"I told you..." Old Wang was suddenly startled, and his tone was surprised, "What did you say just now, two alliance leader treasure chests?"
"It's still a little less."
Lin Chuan grinned, and he was so happy in his heart.
It has always been Old Wang who pretended to be cool with him, and this time, he finally made Old Wang look funny!
Old Wang was stunned for a while, and smiled: "Good things, good things, it seems that your life of a thief has improved!"
"The life of a thief is finished." Lin Chuan smiled, "I opened a new book."
Old Wang was a little surprised: "You 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 write about cheating?"
"What's the problem?" Lin Chuan smiled.
Lao Wang teased: "Tell me the truth, are you from Rongmen or Qianmen?"
In the old days, people who made a living by wandering around the world were divided into all kinds of people. Over time, countless professions gradually emerged.
Rongmen refers to people who make a living by stealing.
Pickpockets are called "Lao Xi" and burglars are called "Zha Yao".
And Qianmen makes a living by "cheating".
Qianmen has eight generals. The life that Lin Chuan experienced is a regular general among the eight generals, who makes a living by cheating.
Lin Chuan smiled: "If you ask again, the people from Liushenmen will come to me again."
"Again?"
Lao Wang was stunned, "You were asked to have tea?"
Lin Chuan grinned and told the process of Shen Qianqian summoning him.
Lao Wang laughed, and laughed without conscience: "Lao Lin, you are too cruel! You still dare to write a scam now, aren't you afraid of being locked up in a small dark room again, and then having a three-court trial?"
Lin Chuan was stunned: "No way?"
"You, this is madly testing the bottom line of the law!" Lao Wang laughed.
Lin Chuan thought for a moment: "I don't think so. They've already made a movie. I won't be arrested for writing a novel, right?"
"This... I can't say for sure." Lao Wang paused, "But I have bad news to tell you."
Lin Chuan was startled: "Are you going to act cool again?"
Lao Wang smiled and said, "Who do you think I am? This bad news is about you."
"You tell me." Lin Chuan frowned.
"You're in trouble! Your new book is published at the same time as two authors with 10,000 subscriptions. You should know what the impact will be."
Lao Wang rarely became serious, and his voice was deep.
Lin Chuan frowned and took a deep breath.
Great!
So great!
Qihang Novels, when authors with 10,000 subscriptions publish new books, will receive traffic support.
However, the traffic of a website is limited, and the traffic given to the same issue of new books is relatively fixed.
In other words, they are likely to attract a large number of readers and leave the rest far behind.
Since someone has taken the lion's share, someone else will have to eat the dust.
Lin Chuan is most likely the latter.
"The two with 10,000 subscriptions, one is Han Dong and the other is Hong Mei. There is a feud between them, so neither of them will give in to the other and choose to publish books at the same time."
Old Wang explained to Lin Chuan.
"When the big guys fight, the little guys suffer." Lin Chuan smiled.
"By the way, there is worse news, I don't think you want to hear it." Old 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, that's to share the joy with you." Old Wang smiled, and then changed the subject, "I just took a look at Han Dong's new book, guess what the subject is?"
Lin Chuan frowned slightly: "What subject is it about?"
"The name of his book is "King of Kings"!" Old Wang said shockingly.
"Ah?"
Lin Chuan's eyes widened and he took a breath of cold air.
It's over, it's coming for me!
He also writes about old tricks!
"If you don't have confidence, change the subject and publish another book in two days." Old Wang comforted.
Lin Chuan glanced out the window, the setting sun was sinking, dusk was approaching, and he smiled: "Use thunder to break the darkness!"
Old Wang was stunned: "Are you kidding me?"
Lin Chuan smiled and said: "The female police officer who summoned me said that I wrote a good book last time and had the potential to become a great writer. I think so too."
