Chapter 4: I sell cuckolds. Do you want to?

Five minutes later, Xiao Li placed a promotional sign for the anti-bombing app in Lin Yang’s car. With a beaming smile, Captain Chen pulled out a crimson notebook and handed it over to Lin Yang.

“Open and take a look!” He exclaimed.

With great courtesy, Lin Yang received the certificate and slowly unfolded it. At the top were two prominent red characters – “Letter of appointment!”

Lin Yang was appointed a voluntary propagandist for combating telecommunications and network fraud in West Sea City, Ansheng Police Station.

Simultaneously, Captain Chen pulled out 500 yuan from his pocket and handed it over. “Here’s your bonus!” He declared.

Lin Yang chuckled and accepted it without hesitation. He needed money now because he was participating in a reality show with a one billion bonus – “Happy Workplace Talent.” The program selected 100 contestants nationwide to compete in West Sea City for a year.

The competition involved each player drawing their occupation and making money through it. After a year, the player with the highest average assets and popularity became the champion. Lin Yang’s job was average, not good or bad, but his luck wasn’t great. He received only one ride that morning, but the extra 500 bonuses improved his standing. He went from being at the bottom to having the most assets. Due to his recent anti-fraud efforts, his popularity rose from second to last to around 80th place. Although his live broadcast room had over 6,000 people, compared to the top-tier group, it was not at the same level.

After all, with such a high prize for the show, the heat and popularity were off the charts. A live broadcast room with a few thousand people like his wasn’t enough to compete.

[Popularity]+1+1+1+1… [Popularity]+1+1+1+1…

[In the morning, I laughed at him for being unable to borrow a single ride. He was the last one. Now, the reversal is too fast, 500 yuan. Is it okay to say that he is temporarily number one?]. [So what, his occupation is like this, so he is doomed not to make much money. Even if you lead today, you won’t be compared tomorrow. $500 is meaningless.]. [You can’t say that, let me ask you, is his analysis today brilliant? This is the first time I’ve heard of this scam, and I’m sure many of you here are like me. If there is no science popularization by Lin Yang, I guarantee that at least 99 out of 100 will be cheated.]. [Indeed, this wave of anti-fraud propaganda is in place. As a person who doesn’t care about scams, I couldn’t help but search for scams because I realized that scams are not far away from me, and I might not know if I was cheated someday!].

….

After bidding farewell to Captain Chen, Lin Yang drove the girl to a nearby restaurant for lunch. Lin Xi, with her naturally pure appearance and complemented by her outfit, didn’t fail to catch the attention of passers-by, much to their envy. However, Lin Yang did not heed the glances, considering eating the most crucial task.

He ordered a lavish meal with plenty of fish and meat, indulging in the feast without conversing with Lin Xi. There was no opportunity despite Lin Xi’s desire to initiate a chat. Lin Yang, focused on enjoying his meal, had no psychological burden.

With his mouth full of food, he never spoke to Lin Xi throughout the meal. Lin Xi hesitated to interrupt him, observing him devouring the food. After a simple chat, Lin Yang, having played the role of a good person, eventually took her home.

Witnessing this scene, the netizens in the live broadcast room were left seething with envy and frustration.

[Such a good opportunity is in front of him. He doesn’t want it, beast!]. [Do you want me to invite you to her house without seeing that girl? You just left without looking back!]. [There is a good saying: the drought dies, and the flood dies. Typical of occupying the latrine and not shitting!]. [This girl has fallen in love with Lin Yang. When she was eating, she strangely looked at Lin Yang, very wrong, with a spark in her eyes. I feel like she’s screwed!]. [This is also normal, okay. Lin Yang is handsome, plus he has helped her a lot, and the high-spirited look just now, if I am a girl, I can’t stand it.].

….

In the afternoon, a video about Lin Yang suddenly gained immense popularity on various short video platforms such as Amusing Sound, Slow Hand, and B Station.

The video “Online Taxi Guy’s God-Level Anti-Fraud” was relatively short and edited while Lin Yang analyzed the situation. It quickly became one of the earliest posts to go viral, accumulating over 500,000 likes and collections and surpassing 50,000 comments.

Upon opening the video, viewers were greeted by a flood of comments expressing amazement, disbelief, and admiration. Some exclaimed, “Amazing! Is this even possible?” while others remarked, “I’ve learned a lot. This is the first time I’ve heard of such scams!” The comments continued with various exclamations and expressions of astonishment.

As the comments poured in, a consensus emerged that Lin Yang had effectively exposed a scam. Some users even confessed, “I’ll believe anyone who said he was a fraud before!” Others admired Lin Yang’s skills, stating, “I admire you. I couldn’t do it. If it were me, I would have been fooled!”

The video’s popularity revealed Lin Yang’s identity to a broader audience, prompting more viewers to join the live broadcast room. The number of participants skyrocketed from an initial 6,000 to an impressive 20,000, elevating the program group’s ranking to over 60.

This unexpected rise in popularity, from 2,000 to 20,000 in just one morning, marked a tenfold increase for the program group. The influx of netizens and the newfound recognition of Lin Yang’s skills impacted the online community.

[Come from teasing sound, worship God in the front row!]. [Holy shit, what’s going on? When I was having lunch, were 20,000 people in the live broadcast room. What happened?]. [You may not believe it, but when I watched Lin Yang’s live broadcast in the morning, there were only 2,000 people, and now it’s 20,000. Isn’t this a dark horse?]. [Indeed, Lin Yang already has signs of a dark horse, but it’s a pity that his work limit is too low. Otherwise, he can win the championship.

….

Lin Yang drove the car on the road.

I was looking at the system panel in my mind.

[Name: Lin Yang]. [Points: 5471]. [Skill: God Rider]. [Props: none].

Note: You can increase your points by increasing your popularity through live streaming and draw a prize for every 10,000 points you consume.

The system had already been initiated. The skills assigned to him were currently not in use. Driving a car randomly on the street was not acceptable. Observing the considerable increase in points. Lin Yang was excited about what the next lottery draw might offer.

At this very moment, a notification sound emanated from the phone

Ding~~.

The software displayed a window for accepting rides.

[Departure time]: Depart now. [Distance from you]: 0.56km [Estimated income]: 24

Departure point: near Wannan Market (vegetable market)

Destination: Garden District 36 Building 2012

[Whether to accept the ride!].

Lin Yang waited for nearly an hour for the ride to come. He took the ride without hesitation.

[Ding~. The ride was successfully accepted!].

Five minutes later, a woman who appeared to be in her prime got into the car, still carrying a large bag of oranges. She peeled and ate oranges throughout the ride. After confirming she was the one who booked the ride, Lin Yang followed the navigation to the destination without any hiccups.

However, upon the customer paying and exiting the car, Lin Yang was shocked to find orange peels scattered all over the back seat. He quickly called out to the departing passenger, “Hey! Miss, you left your trash!”

To his surprise, she dismissively replied, “This isn’t trash. It’s tangerine peel. I saved it for you to make a drink later.”

Stunned, Lin Yang retorted, “This is not tangerine peel. It’s the orange peel you just ate!”

An unimpressed woman waved him off, saying, “You drivers always find something to complain about. It’s just orange peels. I will complain about you!”

“You’re welcome to complain,” Lin Yang responded, “I can easily change my phone number and still drive for rideshare.”

The woman walked away without looking back, leaving Lin Yang infuriated. He muttered, “No manners at all! You didn’t even offer me an orange when you were eating. After making a mess, you call it tangerine peel for me to soak in water. Unbelievable!”

Watching the departing passenger, Lin Yang took a few deep breaths to calm down. He considered chasing after her but decided against it, realizing it was a minor issue. A ringing phone caught his attention as he prepared to clean up the orange peels in the back seat. It was under the seat, and the caller ID read “husband.”

Lin Yang grinned, picked up the phone, and answered, “Hello!” The voice on the other end, hearing a man, erupted, “Who are you? Why does my wife’s phone end up with you?”

Lin Yang chuckled, “Don’t start by asking who I am. I could be a wholesale hat supplier. Need one?” Sᴇaʀᴄh the NøᴠᴇlFire.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.
