I'm a Reporter! Why Are All My Skills So Dark?

[System] [Crime] [Crime Solving] [Dark Skills]

Lin Huan transmigrates to a parallel world, where he becomes an intern reporter and awakens the Viral News System.

Whenever he publishes or takes part in a news story, he earns points based on its number of views, which he can use to draw skills.

But just as Lin Huan is preparing to make a big splash, he discovers that the skills he gets are all a little... questionable.

[Cloud-Stealing Hand] (Pickpocketing, sneaking into homes, and picking locks. Even a passing chicken will lose a feather.)

[Traditional Chinese Medicine Therapy] (Massage, scraping, acupuncture, cupping... It can improve both sexual performance and interrogation skills.)

[One-Handed Precision] (As long as you can pick something up, you can tell how it’s built and how much it weighs.)

[Grand Hypnosis Technique] (You are a pig. You are a pig. You are a pig...)

I’m a reporter! Why are all my skills so shady?

Lin Huan was at first on the verge of a breakdown, but soon realized that no skill is useless; only the person using it can be useless.

Whenever Lin Huan gets caught up in all kinds of trouble, he can always use these bizarre, highly incriminating skills to solve problems from unexpected angles.

“You think you can stop twenty years of pickpocketing experience?”

“Reporters and prostitutes both make a living with their mouths, but they’re still not the same thing...”

“There isn’t a single rigged scale that can escape my hands.”
