You Were Supposed to Go Undercover, So How Did You Become the Godfather of the Underworld?

In a parallel world, on Blue Star, journalism graduate Lin Chen starts work at a city TV station as an intern reporter earning a base salary of just 2,000 yuan.

From the start, he activates the Strongest Undercover System. As long as he infiltrates an illegal industry and exposes it, he can earn god-tier skills and generous rewards!

He only wanted to land an exclusive story and secure a full-time position, but who could have guessed the System's skills would be so powerful?

While secretly investigating a filthy chicken-feet workshop, he uses a god-tier recipe to become the factory manager's trusted aide, nearly taking over the entire prepared-food industry!

He goes undercover at an illegal cosmetic surgery clinic and becomes its top salesperson with his god-tier sales skills. The director insists on marrying his daughter to him and begs him to take over the business!

He infiltrates an illegal stock-picking group, where his trading skills are so incredible that the scam ring even nominates him as the leader of the private equity world!

The day the police and the TV station move in to take down the whole operation, the station director looks at the dozens of underlings behind Lin Chen and the shares he owns in businesses worth over a hundred million yuan, and trembles with fear. “Lin Chen, wrap this up and come back! If you don't, you'll end up a godfather of the underworld!”

Lin Chen spreads his hands helplessly. “I keep telling you I'm just a law-abiding little reporter. Do you believe me?”
