Editor Youyou took a sip of espresso, then rejected the concept.

Lin Chuan’s 20,000-word opening revealed a penitent reflection on a gambler’s life, narrating an impressive private trajectory in an earthly tone.

Youyou felt a real sense of immersion.

She strongly suspected it was the opening of an autobiography by a gambler swindler.

Sure, that’s proper!

An autobiography!

The tales heard from Second Uncle finally belonged to Second Uncle. It could be exhausting for Lin Chuan to jot down such empathetic phrases.

So, this was Lin Chuan’s autobiography?

When Youyou got here to this conclusion, she herself was startled, then chuckled in disbelief.

This appeared not possible!

Afterward, Youyou despatched a teasing message to Lin Chuan, “Is that this your autobiography? /smirk.jpg”

Youyou despatched a message.

“Is that this your autobiography? /smirk.jpg”

Lin Chuan replied, “Please do inform.”

After pondering for a second, Youyou’s slender and truthful fingers tapped swiftly on the keyboard, “This opening provides me a really beautiful feeling, very actual, and with a robust sense of engagement.”

“The half describing the dice-cheating abilities is detailed and spot-on, capturing the essence of a swindler’s life. Should you can keep this degree of writing, I believe this ebook might hit the featured checklist.”

Lin Chuan paused, rigorously reviewing each phrase Youyou despatched.

The phrase ‘featured’ was notably eye-catching.

Featured!

How a lot cash would that be per 30 days?

As everybody is aware of, the author’s neighborhood additionally has their hierarchy of ascension.

Beginner, perennial loser, minor hit, main hit, ten thousand subscriptions, Heavenly King, Influent Writer, Platinum, Supreme God.

A beginner on the preliminary stage, filled with hope, with the makings of a Platinum.

The perennial loser lives off the eight hundred yuan for good attendance, merely getting by, struggling within the unforgiving sea of web literature.

Lin Chuan was at this stage.

However as soon as he breaks into the ‘featured’ realm, whilst a minor hit, he might comfortably goal for a modest life, having fun with 4 dishes and a soup.

As for a serious hit or ten thousand subscriptions, Lin Chuan didn’t dare to think about.

Lin Chuan’s fingers trembled barely, as if he had Parkinson’s, “Can it actually be featured?”

Youyou: “Sure!”

With Youyou’s affirmative reply, Lin Chuan lastly noticed an opportunity to the touch the brink of ‘featured’. His hopes soared, and he clenched his fist excitedly, straightening his barely hunched again.

His confidence in ‘Swindler’s Life’ surged immediately!

The system, it really works wonders!

“Sir, your beef noodles are prepared.”

The woman introduced over the meat noodles and positioned them in entrance of Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan glanced on the massive and vast bowl, which had only some slices of beef on it, and referred to as the girl over, “Maintain on a second!”

The woman appeared puzzled, “Sir, what’s the matter?”

“Add an additional serving of beef and an egg for me!”

Lin Chuan was very beneficiant, as if he was about to purchase out all the noodle store.

“Sir, you imply so as to add a serving of beef and an egg?”

The woman hesitated for some time, feeling that the shopper in entrance of her appeared to glow with a spark in his eyes and an aura of confidence, virtually like a special particular person from when he first walked in.

“Hmm.”

Lin Chuan hummed affirmatively, “And convey a bottle of soy milk.”

“Sir, please scan right here to pay.”

The younger woman wore a smile on her face, her service was top-notch.

This modest beef noodle store was in some way elevated by Lin Chuan to the feeling of a high-end restaurant.

In fact.

Lin Chuan needed to foot the invoice for his retaliatory spending.

The meat value eight yuan, the egg three yuan, and the soy milk three yuan and fifty cents, a complete of fourteen yuan and fifty cents.

A sizeable sum was deducted from his already meager steadiness.

It wasn’t lengthy.

Earlier than the younger woman introduced over a brand new bowl of beef noodles.

The meat brimmed over the bowl, sprinkled with a number of inexperienced onion flakes, and there was a plump egg nestled on prime; only one whiff and I might odor the wealthy perfume.

Lin Chuan thought this meal’s beef noodles tasted exceptionally good, and he ate his fill.

That bottle of odd soy milk additionally appeared to style higher than these milk tea drinks that value a number of tens of yuan every, despite the fact that he had by no means tried them.

Man… I’m actually fearful of being poor.

The breeze in spring was very light.

Lin Chuan walked out of the noodle store, by way of the outdated alleyways, inhaling the faint floral scent permeating the outdated metropolis district, together with the marginally cool mist.

The daylight fell, and as Lin Chuan walked on the stone pavement, his shallow shadow was solid.

Lin Chuan didn’t cease to understand the distinctive ambiance of the outdated metropolis district.

His strides had been vigorous, and he shortly returned to Happiness Neighborhood.

“Zhang, watching brief movies once more?”

Lin Chuan greeted Zhang Xinxin as he handed the small grocery store, very amiably.

“You actually suppose I received’t increase your hire?”

Zhang Xinxin pursed her lips.

However Lin Chuan had already sprinted away, speeding as much as the sixth ground in a single breath.

It must be mentioned.
