Time flew by, and before they knew it, it was the morning of the sixth day since Lin Feng's family had met with Chen Hang and the others.

When Lin Feng learned that the video footage for the Handwriting Robot had been completed and no more filming was needed, he asked Chen Hang.

"Chen Hang, when will the Bilibili video be ready? And when will I Love Invention air?"

Hearing this, Chen Hang roughly estimated the time before answering:

"I'll work overtime to produce sample versions of the documentary and promotional showcase video within four days for you to review, revising them until you're satisfied.

"As for when I Love Invention will air, that isn't something I can decide.

"However, judging by Editor-in-Chief Liang's great importance placed on this matter, they should prioritize scheduling it. It will probably air within a week.

"I've already spoken with a friend at headquarters. Once the schedule is confirmed, he'll notify me, and I'll call you immediately when I hear the news."

"That couldn't be better."

Lin Feng nodded in great satisfaction, pleased with Chen Hang's answer.

Other than the recent increase in views and followers brought by the Xiaohe Town Mobile Network, the view count on his Bilibili videos had stopped rising.

As of now, that video's views had stalled at 2.13 million, while his follower count had stopped at 430,000.

Among them, those so-called followers were really inactive followers. Since he had not released any videos during this time, people naturally stopped paying attention to him or keeping up with his developments.

If he did not quickly release new videos to maintain the account's popularity, his follower count would gradually decline as people unfollowed over time.

Now that he knew a sample could be finished within four days, this was naturally excellent news.

He believed that with the release of the new video, he could definitely retain those hundreds of thousands of followers and create an opportunity for his plan to turn the fake into reality.

That afternoon, Lin Feng suddenly received notice from Zhan Cheng Court that the trial would be held the next morning.

Lin Feng did not waste time going himself.

Because he knew the lawsuit was practically certain to be won, he merely had his mother attend as his representative while he busied himself wrapping up the development of the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle.

Although he had been cooperating with Chen Hang and the others to film videos over the past few days, he had not been filming there all day without being able to leave.

Therefore, the development progress of his Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle had not been delayed and was still advancing rapidly.

The Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle had now reached its final stage, and the related patents were being organized for registration together.

However, the most urgent matter now was upgrading the Second-generation Pen Master Handwriting Robot!

Thanks to the earlier wave of public attention, many people had learned about and watched videos of the Second-generation Pen Master Handwriting Robot.

They had all expressed admiration and approval for the powerful functions of the Second-generation Pen Master Handwriting Robot, causing its experience points to soar.

By now, the Second-generation Pen Master Handwriting Robot's experience points had far exceeded the requirement. However, because he had been busy filming video material and outsiders had been present—

Lin Feng had not actively upgraded it during this period, lest the commotion attract Chen Hang and the others' attention.

First-generation Pen Master Handwriting Robot, Experience: 733775/10000, Source Points: 139/139 Second-generation Pen Master Handwriting Robot, Experience: 656863/100000 (Upgradeable), Source Points: 139/139.

"What exactly are these Source Points for? There isn't even a hint. I have no idea what they do."

Looking at the slowly increasing Source Points, Lin Feng felt both curious and puzzled.

But with the moment at hand, he had no choice but to upgrade it. Lin Feng directly upgraded the Second-generation Handwriting Robot, and once again, the Handwriting Robot disintegrated into countless fragments before rapidly reassembling.

Then, a Third-generation Handwriting Robot with a drastically different appearance appeared before Lin Feng, its structure changing from a single-bar frame to a Partial Frame Structure.

Third-generation Pen Master Handwriting Robot, Experience: 0/3000000, Source Points: 139/139.

"The next upgrade actually requires three million experience points—three million people's approval. Isn't this experience requirement rising too quickly? Will the upgrade after that need six million, or even ten million?"

Lin Feng could not help complaining. Then he honestly examined the Third-generation Pen Master Handwriting Robot's upgrade details, and delight appeared in his eyes.

Upgrade: 1. Added Automatic Paper-Flipping Function. Supports various notebooks and can write from the first page to the last. 2. Minor motherboard upgrade. Added Bluetooth/WIFI modules. 3. Supports mobile phones and tablets. Handwriting Robots can now be controlled through phones and tablets, and users can also input their own handwriting through a phone, making the imitation indistinguishable to the naked eye. 4. Major Pen Master Software update: Added mobile phone and tablet compatibility, support for the Automatic Paper-Flipping Function, and support and control for Bluetooth/WiFi modules.

Looking at the newly added functions and feeling the new knowledge and code memories being poured into his mind—

After confirming through coding habits and code-commenting habits that this Third-generation Pen Master Handwriting Robot had indeed been developed by himself, Lin Feng smiled.

This Third-generation Pen Master Handwriting Robot upgrade was simply too powerful. It directly solved the issue people had criticized most about the Handwriting Robot.

What was the most criticized aspect of the Pen Master Handwriting Robot?

It was the need to constantly turn pages. Every time it finished a page, the user had to turn to the next one, secure it again, and reposition it in the software. Naturally, that was irritating.

Now, with a function that required no page-turning from beginning to end and could directly control the notebook to turn pages automatically, it was simply a blessing for consumers.

The Third-generation Pen Master Handwriting Robot's automatic page-turning mechanism used a small fan to lift the notebook paper, after which a motor-controlled pressing arm automatically held the sheet down.

With this ingenious design, consumers no longer needed to turn pages and secure them again themselves. It saved countless amounts of effort and time, sending work efficiency soaring.

As for support for phones, tablets, Bluetooth, WiFi, and the like, those were more gimmick than practical value. The only genuinely useful feature was the ability to input one's own handwriting.

Because phones and tablets were limited by the difficulty of operation, they were not more convenient than computers.

Something that could be done on a computer in one minute would take three minutes on a phone or tablet. The work efficiency was quite low, so it was naturally more gimmick than practical value.

Still, Lin Feng was very satisfied with this Third-generation Pen Master Handwriting Robot. He believed that the Automatic Paper-Flipping Function alone could produce respectable sales.

Of course, its sales would definitely not match those of the first- and second-generation Handwriting Robots, because the Third-generation Pen Master Handwriting Robot's structure was far too complicated, with many more parts and motors.

Under such circumstances, this Handwriting Robot certainly would not be cheap.

After thinking it over, Lin Feng decided to price it at 999 yuan. Though the price was somewhat high, there should still be people willing to buy it.

After all, it could automatically turn pages and save consumers countless amounts of effort.

Furthermore, it used a Partial Frame Structure, and its writing stability and precision had both improved greatly compared to its predecessors. Consumers should be willing to buy it.

"I wonder what the next generation will upgrade. Will it use multiple pens at once? Or will it directly upgrade into a writing form that imitates a human arm?

"If it really upgrades into a Handwriting Robot with a human-like arm, the gains would be enormous.

"After all, with a few modifications, wouldn't such a human-like arm Handwriting Robot be able to enter the industrial robot production field?"

With beautiful fantasies about the future in mind, Lin Feng began drafting the production and sales plan for the Third-generation Pen Master Handwriting Robot.

Of course, this product could not be launched immediately. He needed to wait at least one or two months. After all, rolling out three generations of products in just over two months would be a bit too exaggerated.

Moreover, the Third-generation Pen Master Handwriting Robot differed greatly in structure from the first- and second-generation Pen Master Handwriting Robots. Combined with the fact that he was currently developing the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle, launching two products at the same time would draw far too much suspicion.

Here's a promise: if I receive an in-site message next Friday at 6:00 a.m. on March 29 saying I've gotten the first round of trial recommendations—

Then starting next Friday, I'll release extra chapters for at least four consecutive days, up to a maximum of seven days. During that period, I'll update no fewer than three chapters per day!

The reason I'm making this promise is that competition in the urban fiction category is too intense. I can only move forward by working hard and writing more.

One of the key metrics deciding whether you receive a trial recommendation is Tuesday's follow-up reading count—that is, the number of readers of the newest chapter on that day!

But before that, you need at least 500 bookmarks. To get that many bookmarks, you need to rely on the new book rankings to attract new readers.

And aside from recommendation votes, monthly votes, tips, comments, and other data, the most important factor determining your place on the new book rankings is also follow-up reading.

So starting today, everyone, please check in and follow the latest chapters whenever you have time.

Of course, monthly votes, recommendation votes, and comments would be even better. All of them can significantly improve the book's position on the new book rankings.
