Special Effects Editor

"Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle?"

Hearing this rather high-end-sounding term, reporter Chen Hang was instantly baffled. What the hell was that?

The reporter carrying the camera beside him hurriedly aimed the lens at Lin Feng, waiting for him to speak.

"A Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle is, as the name suggests, a type of Gauss Rifle that uses coins as ammunition.

The reason this Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle uses coins as ammunition is that this weapon was designed for riot control!

What is riot control?

For example, if some emotionally unstable person starts fighting, slashing people, or robbing others on the street, the police would definitely have to stop him, right?

But stopping him would not be easy. Even if you had an electric baton, he might still stab you instead.

Although the police would certainly carry handguns, once they fired, the resulting disputes would definitely be serious. Not only would the family cause trouble, but the person who was shot would certainly have to go to the hospital.

To avoid such an awkward situation, I designed a long-range riot-control weapon with relatively low power: the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle.

This Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle has a range of up to fifteen meters and three adjustable power settings. Its greatest feature is that it can fire 2,400 coin rounds per minute!

It could be said that with this Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle in hand, one man could hold off ten thousand. No matter how many rioters there were, they would not be able to withstand its fierce firepower!"

After hearing Lin Feng's introduction, everyone present was dumbfounded.

This Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle was actually that brutal?

It could fire 2,400 coin rounds per minute?!

That was simply too powerful!

"I think this is a fine invention, but I'll need to ask Editor-in-Chief Liang first."

As he spoke, reporter Chen Hang called Editor-in-Chief Liang on the spot. After explaining things, Editor-in-Chief Liang eagerly agreed.

Lin Feng's family, standing nearby, could vaguely hear Editor-in-Chief Liang happily praising him through Chen Hang's Rice Phone. "Now this is a truly useful invention."

Hearing that, Lin Feng recalled the I Love Invention program, which had been mocked by netizens.

In his previous life, the inventions on I Love Invention had become increasingly bizarre, making people laugh and complain endlessly.

For example, someone had claimed they would invent the world's most advanced submarine, only for it to be unable to move at all.

Then there was the absurdly funny Rickshaw Robot, which could only travel half a meter in ten minutes and had the special effect of shaking your bones apart.

There was also the Hand-and-Foot Bicycle, whose danger rating soared through the roof and which was also nicknamed the "Traffic Accident Generator."

And then there was the Automatic Hair Washing Machine, which turned out to be an automatic hair-removal machine that yanked hair out from the roots.

The inventions on I Love Invention all had various problems. Either they lacked market potential, or they were inexplicably comical.

Honestly, there were probably far more viewers watching I Love Invention to laugh at the inventions than viewers hoping to see useful inventions.

Given how far the show had drifted from its original purpose, it was only natural that Editor-in-Chief Liang of I Love Invention was anxious to find some useful inventions.

Soon, after reaching an agreement with the I Love Invention crew, the two sides began discussing the filming arrangements.

Of course, neither side simply sat around during the discussion. Lin Feng's family warmly invited them to stay for a meal, as they had prepared food in advance after hearing the news.

Chen Hang and the others could not refuse, so they went along with it. After the alcohol started flowing, they inevitably began talking about other matters, and Lin Feng learned about the three men's circumstances.

The I Love Invention filming crew consisted of three people: a full-time driver, a full-time cameraman, and reporter Chen Hang, whose background was quite remarkable—he had actually graduated from Beijing Film Academy.

Beijing Film Academy held an extraordinary position in Great Xia. Countless film and television stars, as well as famous directors, had graduated from there. It could be called the Whampoa Military Academy of the film and television industry!

As for which school Chen Hang had graduated from at Beijing Film Academy, it was the School of Film and Television Technology. He specialized in film and television production and was skilled in visual effects, prop effects, film editing, scoring, and more.

Unfortunately, having come from the countryside, he had no connections. At CCTV, where people with connections were everywhere, he had gone in circles before finally ending up in the hardest, most exhausting position, one that required constant travel—the I Love Invention crew—as a reporter.

Upon learning this, Lin Feng's eyes lit up. He realized that Chen Hang might be a talent worth recruiting.

If he wanted to use the system to turn fiction into reality and create Iron Man's Arc Reactor and Human Gene Enhancement Fluid, he would definitely need a powerful special effects team to cooperate with him.

Furthermore, to prevent the truth from being exposed, that special effects team had to be trustworthy.

Otherwise, if the special effects team were bribed by his enemies and stepped forward to say, "Those were the special effects produced by our company. There was no real Iron Man Arc Reactor at all. It was fake. Lin Feng is nothing but a fraud!"

In that situation, Lin Feng could not say he would be utterly ruined, since he could deny that the two sides had ever worked together. Still, it would put him in a very passive position.

Under such circumstances, having his own special effects team help him fabricate things would be the best and safest option.

However, a person's character still had to be tested. If members of his own special effects team failed that test and betrayed him instead, he would truly have nowhere to cry.

With the intention of testing both their abilities and their character, Lin Feng shifted the topic to Bilibili.

He said that he wanted to find a special effects editor for a long-term partnership, and that he would pay the editor a substantial fee for every video.

For the first video, he wanted to make a documentary about developing the Handwriting Robot, along with a promotional video showcasing the finished product. In the future, he would also make a documentary and promotional video for the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle.

When Lin Feng mentioned that the total production budget for the Handwriting Robot was as high as forty thousand yuan, Chen Hang and the cameraman's breathing visibly grew heavier.

Forty thousand yuan might not seem like much, but it was actually several months' worth of their wages. They could earn it by spending only a few days, or at most a week. How could they not be tempted?

Thus, everything that followed fell naturally into place. They all expressed their willingness to produce documentaries and promotional videos for Lin Feng's Handwriting Robot and Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle.

After all, this was already their line of work. They would essentially be doing two jobs at once, with only the additional step of editing special effects videos.

However, just to be safe, Chen Hang honestly asked Editor-in-Chief Liang for permission, explaining that Lin Feng was a Bilibili content creator who needed some video footage to make Bilibili videos.

Editor-in-Chief Liang naturally had no objection. He said that as long as the two sides' video content did not overlap too much, it would be fine.

Having received permission, Chen Hang and the others were naturally overjoyed and decided to make a big profit.

But at that moment, Lin Feng's father, Lin Guohua, suddenly received a phone call.

After apologizing, Lin Guohua took his phone and stepped outside. Not long afterward, he hurried back in with a delighted expression...
