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

Leo knew that Lin Chuan had started a Network Security Company.

Therefore, when Lin Chuan wanted to obtain his network permissions, he assumed it was to look up traces of Morgan Group's Hacker attacks—an important evidence in this lawsuit—so he didn't ask further.

With Leo's guarantee, Haas Armed Forces also agreed very readily.

"Thank you for your cooperation."

The prompt cooperation between Leo and Haas Armed Forces increased Lin Chuan's good impression of them.

Generally speaking,

with Lin Chuan's current situation, many people would keep their distance.

What if he asked to borrow money?

Who could be sure!

Lin Chuan had some understanding of the situation Haas Armed Forces were in. Explore new worlds at empire

Yet, they were still willing to maintain friendly relations with Lin Chuan without abandoning him to embrace other military weapons suppliers. Just this attitude alone was already commendable.

Moreover, their willingness to grant Lin Chuan network access only added to his favorable impression.

This was a good friend.

Lin Chuan thought to himself.

"Although we do not understand the full context, we choose to trust you," Leo said sincerely, his tone slightly somber.

Lin Chuan nodded lightly, "Rest assured, your choice is the right one."

"Hope so."

Leo then said a few more hopeful words.

"Oh, by the way, I would like to do a service follow-up. How are you finding the batch of weapons I delivered?"

Lin Chuan asked with a smile.

The delivery hadn't been long—only a few days—and there had been no news from the Haas Armed Forces, so Lin Chuan took this opportunity to ask about the specifics.

In his mind, there was also an assessment task waiting to be completed.

System Panel—

[Work: "Arms Tycoon."]

[Current Status: Published.]

[Current Popularity Value (Average Subscription): 91,780/80,000 (including international data).]

[Assessment Task: Develop an unseen new type of weapon and gain approval from no fewer than 100,000 people (pending completion).]

The average subscription score had already reached over ninety thousand.

With this wave of popularity, whether from fans or anti-fans, this book was likely to hit 100,000 average subscriptions in the coming days, marking a milestone for Lin Chuan in web literature.

A hundred thousand average subscriptions!

Although "Arms Tycoon" was a bit short with just over a million words, it was undeniable that its quality was solid and technically proficient. If it really achieved 100,000 average subscriptions, it would give him a strong chance at securing a position among influential authors this year.

Lin Chuan had started several companies, garnering multiple side businesses, but his heart was still with web literature.

Ah, a professional web novel writer!

A web novel writer aspiring to buy Sailing Novel!

Sailing Novel's market value had already reached hundreds of billions, and Lin Chuan had a long way to go to reach this goal.

Relying solely on writing books as a legitimate method, dreaming of earning hundreds of billions, seemed unlikely.

Fortunately, Lin Chuan had a bit more going on with his side businesses.

Network security, antiques, technology patents, military orders, and so on; if that wasn't enough, he could always capture a few criminal groups and grab some bounty money. There was a chance for the future.

Regarding the system's assessment task—

—Develop an unseen new type of weapon and gain approval from no fewer than 100,000 people.

Currently, Lin Chuan had not yet gained the approval value.

So, Lin Chuan took the opportunity to ask Leo about the situation.

"We're still assembling it, but we expect to start testing in the next two days and deploy it on the battlefield next week," Leo replied directly without any evasion.

"I see."

Lin Chuan smiled, noting mentally that Haas Armed Forces still needed to improve their assembly capability for such new weapons.

"Lin, sorry to embarrass you," Leo chuckled, "This guidance system of yours is different from the ones we've used before. Our engineers have been studying it for a long time, which is why it's taking a while."

"It's no trouble. Any problems, just contact me. Let's schedule a time, and I'll conduct an online training session for your engineers," Lin Chuan offered readily.

"That would be really appreciated!"

A smile appeared on Leo's face.

Many armed organizations' engineers were actually quite makeshift, often no better than slightly skilled engineering students, so they always had to spend a lot of money on training.

An online training session like the one Lin Chuan offered would cost a fortune if it were organised by the Morgan Group.

Lin Chuan was indeed accommodating!

Leo internally praised earnestly.

...

The night grew deeper.

The moonlight seemed diluted by the early winter chill, casting a faint glow over the scattered cityscape. A serene silver sheen glimmered on the river surface outside the window, wrapping the mountains, rivers, and buildings in a layer of soft gauze.

It was getting cold, and fewer street racers were on Linjiang Road, with only the occasional young couple passing by, strolling along the road, basking in the river breeze, then slipping into a nearby motel.

Lin Chuan, holding a cup of light tea, stood by the window.

He watched the road below and chuckled at those young couples, wondering why he had never ducked into a motel when he was younger.

Soon,

he shook his head.

I only graduated from college two years ago; I'm still a young man.

Motel escapades were for the youth, just like a Little Landlady sneaking into a small rental apartment—it was something young people would do!

Lin Chuan sipped his tea, his thoughts not straying far.

He glanced at the Little Landlady next door, who was seriously organizing lawsuit-related documents.

In front of the Little Landlady, a smartphone was displaying a video call with Shen Qianqian and Xia Qingqing.

The three of them joined hands, tackling this lawsuit late into the night.
