After a period of oppressive accusations, the scene quickly shifted again, cutting to Lin Feng formally activating the handwriting robot.

Seeing this, the viewers all showed faint smiles, knowing that Lin Feng's family was about to experience a huge change.

Soon, the following scenes were exhilarating moments of rising emotions: applying for patents, a small factory successfully opening.

The scene of the video advertisement being released, the scene of receiving over thirty orders on the first day, the scene of the second-generation handwriting robot going on the market…

Finally, the video switched to scenes of students, young people, and middle-aged people all smiling as they used the handwriting robot.

With this, the entire video playback was complete.

Watching this documentary, which had ups and downs, starting calmly, becoming oppressive in the middle, and ending with triumphant excitement.

All the netizens who finished watching the video felt a sense of wistful loss, like finishing a brilliant movie and wanting to know what happened next.

But the story ended at a reasonable point, and there didn't seem to be anything more exciting to continue watching. Stopping at this moment was the best.

So, this feeling of wistful loss naturally arose in people's hearts, making them reluctant to let go.

It could only be said that Chen Hang truly didn't waste Lin Feng's 40,000 yuan. The effect alone was worth 40,000 yuan, even exceeding that value.

After watching this video, netizens' perception of Lin Feng was no longer his comedic meme persona on Bilibili, nor his image as a patent thief being cursed by netizens.

Through this documentary, Lin Feng's image transformed in people's eyes into that of a research genius who graduated from Qinghua University, a person with a slightly obsessive and reclusive personality.

Soon, with the release of this documentary, related discussions rapidly appeared in the comment sections of various videos on Bilibili. Netizens' perspectives on Lin Feng had undergone a 180-degree shift.

Under these circumstances, the documentary's viewership also soared. In just one day, it surpassed one million views, and almost everyone who watched it gave positive reviews.

If this were a Bilibili drama series, its rating would be as high as 9.8. But unfortunately, it wasn't.

"Damn Xingtu Technology!"

In a place in Shenzhen where neon lights flashed back and forth, Su Da, who had finished watching the documentary, drank a lot.

Watching this documentary, he understood that he had utterly lost!

The unwillingness that had been supporting him suddenly collapsed, leaving him utterly dejected…

Time flew by, and three days passed just like that.

On this day, "I Love Invention," with tens of millions of viewers nationwide, finally aired the episode about the handwriting robot invention.

That evening, the nights in Xiaohe Town seemed much quieter. There were hardly any people at the late-night snack stalls because many were at home watching television.

After all, the news that their hometown genius, Lin Feng, was going to appear on "I Love Invention" had already spread throughout Xiaohe Town.

How could the residents of Xiaohe Town go out shopping when such a glorious moment was about to unfold?

Finally, after a classic opening sequence, the host introduced the handwriting robot, followed by the program's broadcast.

This handwriting robot program was different from the videos previously released on Bilibili and Youku. The previous videos focused on Lin Feng and his family overcoming difficulties, with the handwriting robot serving as a supporting element.

However, the perspective was now completely reversed. Lin Feng and his family became the supporting characters, with the handwriting robot as the protagonist.

Despite this, the people of Xiaohe Town were not bored; instead, they watched with great interest.

The same story, told from different perspectives, resulted in both being captivating. It could only be said that CCTV lived up to its reputation and never disappointed.

Thus, the more than 50-minute program concluded, and tens of millions of people across the country watching "I Love Invention" learned about a new invention.

Among these millions, wealthy students, teachers, and white-collar workers in public institutions watched with shining eyes, realizing that the handwriting robot seemed very suitable for their use.

Students could use it for copying homework and writing assignments. Teachers could use it for creating handwritten lesson plans and grading papers. Public sector employees could use it for taking meeting minutes and preparing official documents.

With this newfound realization, Lin Feng's family was astonished to find that orders for the handwriting robot were skyrocketing, far exceeding their wildest imaginations.

Although they had anticipated that many people might purchase their handwriting robot after seeing the TV program, and the factory had prepared a large stock, they never expected the sales to come on so strong.

The sales volume directly caused Xingtu Technology to run out of stock, and they even faced the challenge of how to ship quickly to avoid making customers wait.

As for the order volume?

It reached 60,000 units. It was the quantity that Lin Feng had taken several years to sell in his previous life, and now it was accomplished in just one day!

It truly was CCTV; the advertising effect was incredibly powerful!

However, facing 60,000 orders at once, Xingtu Technology's production capacity was insufficient, so they had to resort to outsourcing.

Lin Feng's family then found themselves in a predicament, unsure which factory to find for rapid contract manufacturing of these 60,000 units.

After all, the manufacturer needed to be able to produce and ship them all within a week and be willing to accept their short-term order.

Going in circles, Lin Feng's family seemed to be caught in a happy dilemma.

But unfortunately, in this world, good and bad often go hand in hand. When you achieve success, you must be prepared to bear the corresponding pressure and burdens.

As Lin Feng's story spread on Bilibili and Youku, and especially after being featured on CCTV's "I Love Invention," many of his former classmates felt extremely unbalanced.

They were all students from the same class, with similar abilities, yet while they were working for others, Lin Feng had become a boss.

While they were proud of earning nearly ten thousand yuan a month, believing they had surpassed most people in the country, Lin Feng was already making hundreds of thousands a month.

Sure, if your income was high, people might be a little unhappy, but they wouldn't be able to say much.

But to become famous nationwide just for a trashy handwriting robot? That made many students extremely unbalanced.

Fueled by this dissatisfaction and jealousy, Lin Feng's classmate, a student named Li Jun, finally couldn't hold back.

Just the next afternoon, while Lin Feng was getting multiple portal websites to write articles reporting on his handwriting robot, Li Jun directly called a relative and sent them a batch of organized electronic files.

His relative was known for being upright and uncompromising, someone who couldn't tolerate injustice, so they likely wouldn't ignore this matter.

Today is Tuesday, the moment of destiny has arrived. If he doesn't get a recommendation and a surge of updates on Friday, it all depends on today.
