Chapter 308: Chapter 213: New Occupation, Arms Tycoon! (5000-Word Chapter)_3
"So, about this cooperation?" Karl asked with a smile, having understood Lin Chuan's intention.
"We can give it a try,"
Lin Chuan nodded and replied with a smile.
With 'Arak Armed Forces' backing them, the military factory could avoid a lot of trouble.
Karl's eyes lit up, and he immediately began discussing the specifics of the cooperation with Lin Chuan in detail.
Their initial cooperation was very pleasant.
Lin Chuan's military factory grew larger and larger, and his influence increased accordingly, gradually taking a dominant position.
Even Karl treated him with great respect.
Gradually, the military factory gained a rising fame in the virtual world.
Until the advent of 'Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher', which solidly established Lin Chuan's status as an Arms Tycoon, unshakable by anyone.
In reality, the night had not yet faded.
Outside the window, the sky at three or four in the morning was stained deep blue, with few stars hanging, seeming empty.
The evening breeze gently fluttered, creeping through the gaps in the window, bringing a breath of fresh air to the quiet room.
Lin Chuan's consciousness gradually left the virtual world.
Returning to reality.
In his mind, the system's prompt sounded—
[Congratulations to the host for fully experiencing the 'toy factory owner' career life.]
[You have acquired the ability: toy database.]
[Based on your experience in the 'toy factory owner' career life, a novel "Arms Tycoon" has been automatically generated, with an approximate length of 1.164 million words, being automatically exported for you; the export will be completed in approximately 11 hours, please check to receive it.]
"Arms Tycoon, this time it provided a weapons equipment database, seems very useful,"
Lin Chuan's mouth curved upward as he pondered to himself.
Huh!
Suddenly, Lin Chuan remembered whether there was also an assessment task this time and he immediately tensed up, quickly checking the system panel.
[Work: "Arms Tycoon".]
[Current Status: Exporting.]
[Current Popularity Value (Average Subscription): 0/80000.]
[Assessment task: Create a new weapon that has not been released, and gain recognition from no fewer than 100,000 people (pending completion).]
Lin Chuan: ???
Lin Chuan looked at these two conditions.
If he really could achieve eighty thousand average subscriptions, he was likely to bypass the 'Twelve Heavenly Kings' and the 'Influent Authors' directly and aim for Platinum status this year.
After all, "Hacker Kingdom" "Black Ice" was exceptionally popular abroad with several books that had ten thousand subscriptions.
High output, high quality, high performance.
The only shortcoming was that each book had a bit fewer words, generally around 1.1 million words, none surpassing two million words.
That was a weakness!
It only meant, there was an opportunity!
However, Lin Chuan's main focus was on the assessment task.
—Create a new weapon that has not been released and gain recognition from no fewer than 100,000 people.
Lin Chuan was somewhat surprised by this assessment task.
But on second thought, given that he now had the weapons equipment database, it seemed reasonable to craft a new weapon and put it to the test.

As for how to gain recognition from 100,000 people.
Lin Chuan furrowed his brow.
A live stream?
No, making weapons privately would land him in jail!
Huh?
Lin Chuan's thoughts shifted, and he suddenly remembered something Shen Qianqian had mentioned that night—
—The National Weapons Innovation Design Competition.
This event should offer the opportunity to make weapons and then submit them for review.
Considering the nature of such events held currently, not broadcasting them online and ranking the contenders would seem odd to people.
Therefore, there would likely be a large audience for this competition, right?
And with his level of weapon-making skills, it shouldn't be too difficult to gain the recognition of 100,000 people... right?
As for what weapon to create.
"The Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher should be the safest choice."
Lin Chuan made up his mind and decided to ask Shen Qianqian tomorrow to see if that was indeed the case.
"Chairman, be safe."
At that moment, the little landlady in the bed suddenly murmured in her sleep, then turned over, wrapped her arms around Lin Chuan's, and curled into a ball.
The night was a bit chilly, so Lin Chuan covered her with a thin quilt and then heavily fell into deep sleep.
...
It was a night of mixed fortunes.
Lin Chuan was asleep, but someone else couldn't sleep.
No, he had no chance to sleep!
This person was none other than Lucas, the head of Morgan Group's Asia-Pacific Branch.
Tonight, the addictive drug industry chain formed by companies like Anzhou Pharmaceutical and Huarun Company had been uprooted by police, especially the arrest of Yu Keke had alarmed the headquarters of Morgan Group.
Because Yu Keke's identity within the Morgan Group was extraordinary.
She had an older sister, named Yu Qin, who was in charge of the Morgan Group's arms dealing business in the Middle East region.
Tonight, Yu Qin had come to Lucas's office.
She looked seven or eight percent similar to Yu Keke, also a mixed-race, but appeared more mature.
In the office, Yu Qin frowned and stared at Lucas, "Lucas, you should give me an explanation. Why did the police find coco?"
Clearly, she had come to hold someone accountable!
Lucas glanced at the imposing Yu Qin and tugged at the corner of his mouth, feeling somewhat guilty,
"First, calm down. I didn't want this to happen either, but the police's sudden action caught us by surprise. At the first moment of Liu Meng's arrest, I had already informed coco, but she didn't manage to evacuate in time."
"Hmph!"
Yu Qin snorted coldly, "From what I know, she was intercepted by a man named Lin Chuan."
Lucas nodded.
"Two days ago, when you attacked his forum and failed, he counter-attacked and breached your servers. Can I interpret this as, you exposing key information in one step, which led to the discovery of the entire coco drug chain?"
"It's absolutely not true!"
Lucas hurriedly denied!
"Not true?"
Yu Qin's expression darkened, "Ha, if you didn't leak key information to Lin Chuan, how could he have happened to appear at coco's office, ready to intercept her?"
Lucas swallowed, speechless.
With regard to the leaking of information, he was also unable to clarify now. Various signs indicated that Lin Chuan could indeed have obtained some key information.
Otherwise, he couldn't have struck with such precision and without error!
Lucas thought and said, "The pressing matter now is to think about how to rescue coco!"
"I already have a plan for that; you don't need to worry about it. Now think about how you'll make your report to headquarters," Yu Qin said commandingly and coldly.
"Before you came, I had already prepared my report."
Lucas looked dejected and added, "For coco, I feel ashamed. Let me know your plan, and see if I can help."
Yu Qin looked up at Lucas and said solemnly, "The only viable option right now is to use the invention patent to reduce her sentence, though coco will have to suffer a bit in there."
The law stipulates that prisoners who obtain invention patents can receive sentence reductions and other rewards.
"Invention patent..."
Lucas nodded, somewhat relieved, "You have many patents for weapons and equipment in your hands; it's not a difficult thing for you."
Yu Qin shook her head, "The weapon invention patents I have are not enough to exempt her from the death penalty. I need a more powerful new invention patent."
"What kind of invention patent?"
Lucas inquired.
"The Sania Weapons Research Company is working on the latest Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher. It's the most advanced Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher, with a range that can reach 300 kilometers. They have been researching it for several years, with over a hundred key technologies, of which more than ten are core and critical bottleneck technologies that are being broken through. They have not applied for a patent yet," Yu Qin took a deep breath and said.
"Is it the weapon you tasked coco to negotiate for last time?" Lucas's expression changed.
Yu Qin nodded.
"I'll personally go and negotiate with the Sania Weapons Research Company!" Lucas volunteered, determined to take action himself.
Yu Qin waved her hand dismissively, "I will go."
Lucas, feeling guilty and recognizing that Yu Qin's position at headquarters was no lower than his, had no choice but to agree with a nod.
"That Lin Chuan..." Lucas pondered and then asked.
Immediately, Yu Qin's face turned cold, "Once coco's matter is settled, I'll personally take care of that account!"
Lucas's mouth twitched.
He knew that getting onto the bad side of this Arms Tycoon in charge of the Middle East region meant Lin Chuan was thoroughly finished!
