Angelina''s reading speed was incredibly fast; she powered through the million words of "ck Ice" from morning till night without stopping.


    She didn''t even eat lunch or dinner.


    Even after reaching the end, Angelina''s face carried a lingering fondness, as if she was savoring Mr. Lin''s narcotics trafficker life.


    "This is the autobiography of my idol, amazing!"


    A look of utter satisfaction appeared on Angelina''s face, her lips slightly upturned, her fingers involuntarily opened QQ.


    Immediately after, she involuntarily opened Lin Chuan''s chat window.


    It waste at night at the North Bear hacker organization HK''s studio, the night sky hung low, neon lights mottled like scattered stars, in the deep quiet night, only the sprites whispered.


    However, at this time, Angelina was full of energy.


    She sent Lin Chuan a message, "Idol, I finally got to see your new book!"


    The time difference between Angelina''s location and Anling by the Han River was not significant.


    By chance, Lin Chuan wasn''t asleep either.


    Lin Chuany back on the sofa in the living room, and when he saw Angelina''s message pop up on QQ, he replied with a slight smile, "Angelina, you found my new book so quickly!"


    This hacker from North Bear gave Lin Chuan the feeling of a little international fan.


    In Lin Chuan''s heart, a sense of pride inevitably rose.


    I even have devoted readers in North Bear!


    ——Indeed, it was something to be proud of.


    Right after that,


    Angelina''s next sentence made Lin Chuan even prouder.


    She replied immediately, "Idol, what you don''t know is, I have already seen ''ck Ice''!/proud.jpg"


    Lin Chuan was momentarily stunned, then grinned and replied, "That''s the information capturing ability of a world-ss hacker!/thumbs_up.jpg"


    Angelina first replied with a ''/haha.jpg'' emoji.


    Then, she said in Chinese, "I have learned quite a few techniques from Hacker Kingdom, and to thank you, I think I can help you promote ''ck Ice''. My friends will definitely like it!"


    "No, no!"


    Lin Chuan hurriedly refused.


    Angelina''s way of promoting was too hardcore.


    This could mean hacking into someone''swork and forcibly imnting advertisements.


    If she wanted, she could even make the targeted users automatically pay to read Lin Chuan''s novel.


    Of course, Lin Chuan had such technology too.


    But.


    Firstly, the system doesn''t allow such data maniption; it demands genuine data.


    Secondly, that stuff... it''s illegal!


    Lin Chuan had his goals set; he was determined not to be a criminal suspect!


    The interrogation rooms with their little ck cells are best visited less often.


    After all, not all interrogation room ck cells feel like home, as those at the Anling Police Station do.


    On the other side,


    A smile appeared on Angelina''s pretty face, and she sent another message to Lin Chuan, "Idol, are you nning to expand the market overseas?"


    "That was a helpless move."


    Lin Chuan replied, forcing a dryugh.


    The domestic web novel environment does not allow stories where a ''narcotics trafficker'' is the protagonist, even if this trafficker ultimatelyes to his senses, it won''t pass the review.


    So, I had no choice but to go overseas.


    "So, do you have any ns to enter the North Bear market with your drug business?" Angelina asked.


    Lin Chuan''s eyebrows scrunched together, and hisplexion froze, "Angelina, I was talking about the development of my novel business, what are you talking about?"


    Inside the HK studio.


    Angelina was also taken aback for a moment, her beautiful face twitched, and she asked, "I was just asking if you are preparing to expand your drug business overseas."


    Lin Chuan: "???"


    His face darkened, feeling like even a plunge into the Yellow River couldn''t cleanse him.


    Angelina, the hacker fan, thought he really was a major narcotics trafficker.


    "Idol, why are you sending these question marks, what do you want to ask?" Angelina didn''t understand the meaning behind sending three question marks in a row, so she asked naively.


    Lin Chuanughed awkwardly, then seriously exined, "Angelina, ''ck Ice'' is just a novel; everything in it is fictional and should not be taken as reality."


    Angelina, confused, "Isn''t this based on your experience?"


    She experienced Lin Chuan''s hacker skills in "Hacker Kingdom", and Lin Chuan also disyed a wave in reality.


    This made her naively think that these were Lin Chuan''s real experiences.


    Only real experiences could be so vivid, so true to life, making the reader feel as though they were living it, as if tasting his life itself.


    "Angelina, ''ck Ice'' is a work of fiction, I''m really not a big drug lord."


    Lin Chuan replied.


    I abide by thew, I haven''tmitted any crimes!


    Completely innocent!


    Angelina was half-convinced and replied, "Okay, I misunderstood you. I thought you also manufactured and sold drugs, I even wanted to ask you a few questions about it."


    In ''ck Ice'', she had seen several drugs that hadn''t appeared in the market.


    Therefore, she wanted to ask Lin Chuan whether these were real or fake.


    "Regarding the drugs, I can''t reply to that, let''s stop here." Lin Chuan quickly ended the topic.


    The novel is purely fictional, do not confuse it with reality.


    "Okay, idol, my Chinese isn''t good enough, and I still have some difficulty reading Chinese novels. Will you be publishing your stories overseas in the future?"


    Angelina asked.


    "I suppose I will." Lin Chuan couldn''t give a precise answer.


    Actually, it all depends on the system, or on one''s own luck.


    If I am blessed by fortune and draw a prestigious normal profession, I probably won''tunch it overseas first. If it''s something that could easily get me thrown into jail, like ''drug lord'', and isn''t allowed in the domestic environment, then I willunch overseas.


    "I''d like to make a small suggestion." Angelina replied.


    "Please, do tell."


    "Your novels are really good, whether it''s ''Hacker Kingdom'' or ''ck Ice'', they are very engaging, but we overseas readers don''t have many ces to discuss your work. If you want to break into the overseas market, you might want to set up some forums."


    Angelina gave Lin Chuan a suggestion.


    So far, readers of "Hacker Kingdom" mostly discuss it on the international edition of the Sailing Novel app.


    However, the Sailing Novel international app isn''t widely known, which isn''t conducive to the external promotion of the work.


    That is, it doesn''t break out of its niche.


    Phenomenal literary works always have dedicated forums or have their own sections in popr applications.


    This is immensely helpful for maintaining reader loyalty and poprity of the work.


    Lin Chuan nodded his head, really appreciating Angelina''s suggestion: "Your proposal is excellent."


    Angelina smiled with pursed lips, a stark contrast to her usual demeanor.


    Holding her phone, she eagerly volunteered and quickly replied, "Idol, what do you think of me doing this job?"


    "You already have an idea?"


    Lin Chuan arched an eyebrow; this little hacker fan sure thinks on her feet.


    "I n to create a section on thergest International Forum as the discussion base for your readers and as the window for external publicity. I think the effect would be quite good," Angelina replied.


    Lin Chuan''s eyes lit up.


    This was indeed a very good promotional tactic.


    After all, the Poprity Value (Average Subscription) for ''ck Ice'' needs to reach 50,000.


    But the user base of the Sailing Novel international app isn''t very big.


    Just relying on its rmendations to support ''ck Ice'' reaching 50,000 subscriptions could be hopeless in a short span of time.


    But by creating a section on thergest forum for "Hacker Kingdom" and "ck Ice", it would be like using existing readers to attract new ones.


    At the same time, it would also promote "Hacker Kingdom" and "ck Ice".


    With that thought.


    Lin Chuan immediately replied, "Your idea is awesome!/ThumbsUp.jpg"


    "Then I''ll start creating it now!"


    Angelina, deeply invested in her idol ''God of Hackers'', was very enthusiastic, having learned a lot of techniques from Lin Chuan''s novels.


    Moreover, setting up a forum section and operating it was just a piece of cake for her.


    In just ten minutes.


    A section called ''Underworld'' appeared on thergest International Forum.


    Of course.


    Angelina used a little bit of her skills to stick the ''Underworld'' section at the top of the forum.


    Instantly.


    A motley crew of characters clicked into the ''Underworld''.
