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

Time flew by, and another day had passed.

That day, at noon, the white ash clouds obscured the sunlight from the sun 150 million kilometers away. Below the clouds, Anling City looked somewhat gloomy with a threat of rain at any moment.

Lin Chuan, dressed in casual clothes, stepped onto the second floor of 'Spring River Moon' restaurant.

"Lin Chuan, over here."

By the window, Shen Qianqian raised her fair, lotus-like arm, waving to Lin Chuan.

Shen Qianqian was wearing a light white dress, revealing a small section of her fair lower legs, and her sweet, delicate face was adorned with a soft smile. Her clear eyes couldn't help but brighten when she saw Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan, smiling, walked over at a leisurely pace and sat opposite Shen Qianqian. Seeing only her by herself, he asked, "Where's the person treating us?"

Today, Qin Sisi had flown back to Anling from Linyi and had arranged to treat Lin Chuan and Shen Qianqian to lunch.

Shen Qianqian poured a cup of chrysanthemum tea for Lin Chuan, smiling, "She and her archaeological team just got off the plane not long ago, they're still on the way. Let's order first; she will be here soon."

"Okay."

Lin Chuan sipped his tea and nodded.

"You seem to have something you want to discuss with Sisi?" Shen Qianqian looked at Lin Chuan, attempting to read something on his face.

Lin Chuan was taken aback, a bit surprised, "You can tell?"

Shen Qianqian's lips curled up slightly, she smiled lightly while scanning the menu on her phone and said, "Others might not notice, but I've read all of your autobiographies; how could I not tell?"

Lin Chuan grinned, "Well, you can't just talk nonsense about that."

"Take a look and see what else you want to order." Shen Qianqian placed her phone in front of Lin Chuan, prompting him to choose dishes, "Your 'Touch Gold Notes' Volume Three, Yin Mountain Ancient Tower, was just released this morning; I've already read part of it."

Lin Chuan took the phone to order, joking, "Always following my novels, I think you're after performance now."

Shen Qianqian felt a mix of annoyance and amusement, "I have too many achievements now, I even suspect I could get promoted to Police Inspector this year."

"That soon?" Lin Chuan asked in surprise, "Aren't you currently a first-grade officer?"

Shen Qianqian nodded, "Right."

"Isn't there a required service period for an officer to be promoted to an inspector?" Lin Chuan asked.

Shen Qianqian blinked, laughing, "There's a supplementary clause in the police rank regulations that allows for early promotion in case of outstanding performance in work."

"After you're promoted to inspector, there will be a gap between us," Lin Chuan teased.

"What kind of gap?"

Shen Qianqian chided Lin Chuan with a sentence.

Lin Chuan laughed heartily, "I'm just a humble web novel writer, a flop of a writer."

Shen Qianqian chuckled, not without irritation, "Most of these achievements are yours, accredited to me. If you became a criminal police officer, you would occupy a squadron chief's position in less than five years, guaranteed to be at least a first-grade inspector, possibly a deputy director level."

During this time,

She had been keeping count, especially during the May Day holiday when Lin Chuan, accompanied by her and Xia Qingqing, directly arrested a fifteen-member fraud gang.

Although she and Xia Qingqing were just following Lin Chuan's arrangements and commands, being part of the operation meant sharing in the credit. Lin Chuan alone wouldn't have been able to capture the criminal gang.

Therefore, she and Xia Qingqing were recorded in the book of merits.

Well, a third-class merit.

What others didn't know was that Lin Chuan's name was also recorded in the book of merits. Shen Qianqian speculated that Zhang Biao had made early preparations for Lin Chuan.

As long as Lin Chuan wanted to join the criminal police, these achievements would come into effect.

Besides catching the fraud gang, the joint development of the anti-fraud app, the arrest of Liu Qing's antique fraud gang, and the core information of the Old Street Factory District that Lin Chuan had given her,

These were achievements above and beyond expectations.

Each one was a solid accomplishment.

"Being a criminal officer is too dangerous, going out early, returning late, and constantly on call for assignments. Writing novels is more comfortable. Once you rise high up in the ranks, remember to cover for me."

Lin Chuan waved his hand and laughed.

"Next time you have an action, remember to call me," Shen Qianqian teased, her captivating eyes twinkling as she smiled brightly.

"What action? Now I just want to find an ancient tomb to dig into," Lin Chuan laughed.

"Ancient tombs, just a scoop?"

Shen Qianqian's eyes lit up instinctively, reaching for her waist; only today she was wearing a light white dress and hadn't brought handcuffs. Otherwise, she would have cuffed Lin Chuan and brought him back to the police station to nip trouble in the bud.

Lin Chuan grinned, "And you say you're not thinking about achievements!"

"Occupational habit," Shen Qianqian chuckled awkwardly.

"I could also help the archaeological team dig an ancient tomb; don't always think of me as a Touch Gold Captain just because you read my novels," Lin Chuan sipped his tea and laughed.

As it happened,

In the past few days, with the archaeological team revealing several details about the Seven Stars Lu King Palace, Lin Chuan's novel had, unsurprisingly, become a hit.

Last night, Lin Chuan once again entered the Virtual World to experience the career of Touch Gold Captain, and he drew the 'Yin Mountain Ancient Tower' tomb robbing instance.

After a considerable effort, he successfully cleared it.

The system prompted—Touch Gold Captain career experience over.

Meanwhile, the system panel also updated.

[Works: "Touch Gold Notes" in three volumes.]

[Current status: Published.]

[Current Popularity Value (Average Subscription): 21781/40000.]

[Assessment Task: Excavate 2 ancient tombs.]

[Current Progress: 1/2.]

[Special Note: Once the Popularity Value and assessment tasks are both met, the next career will be unlocked.]

This nearly made Lin Chuan curse out loud—system, are you deliberately pushing me onto the path of crime?

It's too obvious!

A proper system, who would let their host experience the career of a Touch Gold Captain and then set an assessment task to dig two ancient tombs?
