Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

Chapter 263: Chapter 190: This is Illegal! (Asking for Subscriptions)

A week later, at the beginning of August.

"Black Ice" was released overseas as scheduled, signed contracts, and was listed, while the system panel in Lin Chuan's mind refreshed.

[Work: "Black Ice".]

[Current Status: Listed.]

[Current Popularity Value (Average Subscription): 0/50000.]

[Assessment Task: Manufacture drugs with 99% purity (pending completion).]

Because the overseas operations department of Sailing Novel was very optimistic about Lin Chuan's "Black Ice," they arranged for an overseas feature promotion and pop-up notifications immediately.

...

In a studio full of sci-fi atmosphere in North Bear, HK.

A girl with delicate and stereoscopic features and fair skin was wearing washed tight jeans and a black off-shoulder chiffon blouse, concentrating on the computer screen filled with a dazzling array of windows.

Her slender and long fingers were quickly operating on a pink and blue keyboard.

It was Angelina.

Suddenly.

Her phone vibrated next to the computer, and a pop-up notification from 'Sailing Novel' appeared in the notification bar.

She had intentionally not blocked its notifications.

[Ding! The author you follow has released a new novel!]

["Black Ice," a story about a drug lord's journey from degeneration to sudden repentance!]

"Eh? Idol has released a new book!"

A touch of joy immediately surfaced on Angelina's pretty face.

Since the last "Hacker Kingdom," she had come to regard Lin Chuan as the 'God of Hackers.'

Indeed.

Lin Chuan planted a bright red flag in AW's 'domain,' shaking the entire hacker circle.

Many hackers wanted to get to know this 'God of Hackers.'

However, upon subsequent investigation, they found Lin Chuan's information was nearly impossible to trace.

They had no way of tracking down Lin Chuan.

Angelina of course knew that this was Lin Chuan's self-protection measure, so she also kept her lips sealed and did not publicize this.

After all, that was her idol.

But over the past three or four months, she had read "Hacker Kingdom" over and over so many times, learning a lot of its technology.

During this time, Angelina had repeatedly urged Lin Chuan to write a second part of "Hacker Kingdom."

Only Lin Chuan said he had no such plan for now.

Angelina thought it was a pity.

Now, she saw Lin Chuan release a new book, an overseas edition no less.

Without a second thought, she immediately put aside her work and clicked through the pop-up.

"Black Ice?"

Upon seeing the title, Angelina thought it wasn't a second part of "Hacker Kingdom," yet she was also very curious. Had Lin Chuan also ventured into the realm of drug lords?

Being one of the top hackers in the world and situated in North Bear, she inevitably dealt with some transactions on the dark web.

Especially those related to arms, spies, and mercenaries.

Like now, she was dealing with a large arms supplier—"Lockheed."

Of course.

She also knew quite a few drug lords.

"Angelina, have you acquired the latest firearms research data from Lockheed?" A voice in North Bear language reached her ears from the side.

Angelina glanced sideways and replied indifferently, "Lockheed is very vigilant toward us; it's not easy to breach their defenses right now. Let's shelve it."

"Shelve it... okay then, the boss has assigned us a new task." A North Bear young man walked over to her.

Angelina's brows furrowed slightly, "What task?"

Stay connected with m-vl_em|p,yr

"A new-type drug has recently emerged. Its type of smell is different from the usual. There are worries it might enter our territory and corrupt the masses, so we need to get our hands on its information asap to take preventative measures."

"New-type drugs?"

Angelina's frown deepened and she responded, "In my surveillance range, currently only a few drug manufacturers are developing new products. Is there an issue with your surveillance scope?"

The young man's face flushed with embarrassment: "This matter is urgent; the higher-ups hope we can find the information quickly."

"Alright then."

Angelina pursed her lips in resignation and said, "Same old rules. You identify the corresponding companies, I'll take care of the attack, let me know when you have the target company, okay? Now, I'm going to read novels."

The young man glanced at Angelina's phone screen, which was black as she was using a privacy filter, "What's so interesting about novels?"

Angelina looked up and shot a glance at the young man: "You don't understand the value of my idol. Get on with your work."

Both held comparable ranks within the "HK" hacker organization of North Bear, but Angelina clearly had more authority.

With Angelina's word, the young man didn't dare to disturb her further.

Afterward.

Angelina pushed aside the 'new firearms data task from Lockheed Company' and the 'new-type drugs task,' and muttered in North Bear language: "Drugs? What could be more addictive than my idol's novels?"

Clutching her phone, she opened Lin Chuan's latest novel "Black Ice."

The content of the novel caught her eyes.

'My name is Mr. Lin.'

'You may also call me by another name, the King of the Underworld.'

'On the surface, I'm a well-known entrepreneur in Anzhou.'

'Behind the scenes, I control the entire underworld of Anzhou, dominating the drug market of Anzhou and the overseas routes.'

'In my life, I've manufactured countless drugs, flooding foreign markets.'

'...'

Extremely satisfied, Angelina's face lit up with a smile, and she murmured: "It's the familiar taste, my idol's autobiography, awesome!"

Continuing to read.

She read about how 'Mr. Lin' step by step expanded 'Lin Pharmaceutical' and flooded foreign markets with drugs.
