I'm not pointing out the politically incorrectness of this... but seriously trying to understand the metaphor. Hey author any clues??
But Jiang Yuan knew that this seemingly perfect fingerprint had been a blur, like an African-American comedian, just a few hours earlier. He had painstakingly restored it to its current form using a computer borrowed from the provincial Intelligence Department, spending a considerable amount of time and employing LV4 Image Enhancement skills. This monumental restoration effort was akin to transforming a tabby cat into a ragdoll cat. - books_n_coffee7dCommented
the author is obsessed
The pine trees outside the window were washed by the rain to a glossy green, looking as tender, moist, and fleshy as recently circumcised lads. - books_n_coffee7dCommented
I'm fascinated by the author's similes
The fine raindrops, driven by the wind, struck the windshield like intermittent streams of urine, making visibility alternatively clear and blurry. - books_n_coffee7dCommentedCh 64 Chapter 63 Peaceful Years

the "crude yet poetic" literary style is a little too much for me at times. I wonder if it sounds as strange in the original
The rocks atop the mountain were so hot from the sunlight that they seemed to sear like a young man's groin. - books_n_coffee8dCommentedCh 6 GUARDIANS

rating this a solid 4 after the first chapters. Need to see if it goes into complete ridiculousness or not before giving more or less. So far: Handsome young coroner has a system which rewards with skills for every "quest" - so far it's normal enough. hopefully he won't become a divine coroner after 10 autopsies, but so far so good! Nice side cheat is that he gets a legacy from every body he examines. Totally random skills that will surely make him the world's most eligible bachelor in time ! Good read, long chapters.

I think the meaning of "pun" was clear to the OP. The question was about the pun itself. There is obviously none in English so something was lost in translation - pity the translator didn't think to enlighten us.
The young officer was bewildered for a moment before understanding the pun Wu Jun was making and was left speechless. - books_n_coffee21dReplied to Nada_Amore

did the post of police officer go from father to son too? Dear heaven the patience you would need to live in a place like this
"I forgot to get my carriage from her. That gives me a good reason to show up at her estate and not be turned away. Thank you for reminding me. Now you can leave," Ian said, no longer interested in speaking of Robert. - books_n_coffee1mthCommented
that's an interesting thought. All those super rich people will go back to being super rich , just a bit less beautiful. all the .others will end up back where they were before. so a certain someone will go back to delivering pizza? A bit sad really that those who have been fighting for their "country " will become unimportant or redundant over night!

too early for a full review, but as it's promising .. The translation is ok. Some things would need explanation - the small horse and the big cart - for example. Is it just very graphic or is there a real saying? The only thing that is bothering me at the moment is the Mc alternating between sex deprived and sex crazy teenager trying to get into every cougar's knickers and madly in love forever faithful to my poor little gf. it happens in the same paragraph at times. Can't work out if he's a total scumbag or about to redeem himself

and thank heavens he needed to breathe. Is this the end of his history of the modern economy lesson? Dear author, this is a whole new version of info dump....
"And due to the Bretton Woods system established after World War II, America pushed all this newly printed money to the entire world."
