Fake-to-Real Plan!

"This Handwriting Robot is incredible. It can imitate human handwriting to write essays, diaries, notes, lesson plans, prepare archival materials, and it even has thousands of handwriting styles?

I have to write all kinds of reports and notes every day, and handle archives until I want to puke. Damn it, the country keeps promoting paperless offices, yet we still have to write all this stuff nobody ever reads. What's the point?

Damn it, I have to write thousands of words at a time and fill several notebooks every year. This Handwriting Robot perfectly solves my needs."

This was a comment posted in Bilibili's comment section by a netizen named "Zhang Wencheng Is My Former Name."

Soon, accompanied by the chime of a phone notification, Lin Feng's family delightedly discovered a new order on Tmall. This meant someone had bought one for 499 yuan.

Of course, after deducting e-commerce platform fees, labor costs, material costs, shipping costs, wasted materials from production failures, and other expenses, they could actually earn only 264 yuan per machine.

If taxes were included, they naturally would not earn that much. However, as a newly established township enterprise, they would generally enjoy the Three Exemptions and Three Half-Reductions policy.

In other words, corporate income tax was exempted from the first through third years of business income, then halved from the fourth through sixth years. There were also many other encouraging incentives.

Before a company had grown large enough to make serious money, taxes could practically be ignored. Even if taxes had to be collected in advance, they would be refunded the following year. That was the favorable policy environment of the present day.

"Lin Feng, you did it."

Lin Feng's mother excitedly hugged him, tears welling up in her eyes.

Over these past three months, Lin Feng had seemed to be the one suffering the most on the surface, but in truth, his parents had suffered even more.

After all, neighbors, friends, relatives, and outsiders constantly criticized their Qinghua University graduate son for loafing around at home and living off his parents. How could that not hurt them?

But as his parents, and knowing that Lin Feng was genuinely doing real work and developing something, they could only support him silently. Even if they had to empty out the family savings, they would still support him.

They needed Lin Feng to prove to the world through his achievements that this Qinghua University graduate was not merely living off his parents. He was truly developing a product that could make money!

Now that Lin Feng had finally handed in a satisfactory answer, how could his mother, He Xueqing, not cry with excitement when the grievance in her heart had finally been washed away?

Lin Feng's father, Lin Guohua, was comparatively calmer. Though a trace of excitement flashed deep in his eyes, he forced himself to remain composed and said,

"One order doesn't prove anything."

At that, He Xueqing shot Lin Guohua a glare before smiling.

"Old Lin, stop pretending. The money from this one order, plus another forty yuan, is almost equal to what you make in a whole day. If we get several or even a dozen more orders, wouldn't that make your head spin?"

"Uh."

Lin Guohua, thoroughly shut down by his wife, could only fall silent. Then he also leaned in toward the laptop, looking through the comments and view counts with her.

By the time they counted everything before bed late that night, they had sold a total of thirty-four Handwriting Robots in less than half an evening. The combined views of their videos across multiple platforms had quietly exceeded fifty thousand.

To be honest, those view counts and purchase numbers were rather low. But in reality, the sales had multiplied several times compared with his previous life. On the first day in his previous life, he had received only eleven orders.

This also proved that his earlier advertising strategy of filming staged scenes at schools and chiefly targeting teachers, students, and clerical workers within the system had succeeded.

That night, after his parents could no longer hold on and went to sleep, Lin Feng returned to his room and checked the view counts of the videos across various platforms while also examining the experience points of the First-generation Pen Master Handwriting Robot.

After comparing them back and forth, he discovered the source of the First-generation Pen Master Handwriting Robot's experience points.

They actually came from people's recognition and admiration for the product, rather than experience gained after people used it.

With that realization, Lin Feng came up with many possible approaches. If handled well, they might even change the world!

Of course, that required an experiment. So Lin Feng looked at the newly produced Handwriting Robot before him, whose actual display read: experience points 15365/10000, Source Points: 1.5365 (Upgradeable).

"Upgrade!"

As Lin Feng spoke, the Handwriting Robot before him abruptly broke apart into countless fragments, then began collapsing inward in the blink of an eye.

In less than two seconds, it rapidly reassembled into a Handwriting Robot with the same outward structure, except that it had been fitted with a crosshair positioning laser head.

At the same time, an installation package for Pen Master Software and a folder named "Second-generation Handwriting Robot" appeared on the desktop of the laptop beside him. Then, new knowledge and memories were forcibly poured into Lin Feng's mind from nowhere.

Second-generation Pen Master Handwriting Robot, experience points: 0/100000, Source Points: 1.5365/1.5365.

This upgrade:
1. Added a crosshair positioning laser head for more precise positioning and control.

2. Supports writing in two thousand handwriting styles, as well as sketching and drawing functions.

3. Upgraded Pen Master Software, greatly lowering the barrier to operation and use; added support for the crosshair positioning laser head, intelligent automatic calibration, and automatic matching for various types of notebooks.

4. Integrated motherboard, smaller size, better heat dissipation, more stable performance, and automatic compatibility with the First-generation Handwriting Robot.

Note: The upgraded Pen Master Software is automatically compatible with the First-generation Pen Master Handwriting Robot. Without the hardware, the newly added functions are unavailable.

Feeling the information in his mind—especially the new knowledge that had appeared there—then looking at the code and comments, Lin Feng wore a strange expression.

"Why do I feel like this so-called Second-generation Pen Master Handwriting Robot was developed by me? Why do the habits in the code and comments look exactly like mine?"

Lin Feng came up with a bold guess. He suspected that the so-called Second-generation Pen Master Handwriting Robot might truly have been developed by him. But he clearly had not developed it, and yet it had appeared.

It really was a question of whether the chicken came first or the egg. But no matter what, he was deeply shocked by the system's power.

Judging from the coding and commenting habits in the upgraded Pen Master Software, the Second-generation Pen Master Handwriting Robot might really have been developed by himself.

Not by his current self, but by his future self!

Or perhaps the system had copied his consciousness, allowed that copied consciousness to conduct research in the Virtual Laboratory, and ultimately transmitted the product to him.

No matter which guess was correct, it showed that the system's power and terror were far beyond anything Earthlings could imagine.

"Looks like my Fake-to-Real Plan can be put into action."

Lin Feng was extremely excited at that moment.

Because experience points did not come from users actually using a product, but from users recognizing it.

Combined with the fact that a product could undergo material reorganization and change form after being upgraded, while also transmitting knowledge to him as its host—

This meant that, in theory, he could create a fake Arc Reactor that looked extremely similar to the one in the Iron Man movies, then publicly release some half-true, half-fake data to make people believe in it and continuously accumulate experience through their recognition.

Then, once he clicked upgrade, the fake thing would become real!

After that, he could truly possess an Arc Reactor. He could even continue the process, allowing the real second-generation Arc Reactor to continuously accumulate experience before upgrading into a real third-generation Arc Reactor!

However, with Earth's material technology and manufacturing capabilities, even if he possessed the knowledge, he probably would not be able to produce a real Arc Reactor.

But regardless, if his plan succeeded, he could at least obtain a finished, real Arc Reactor!

And if he broadened his horizons further, what if he took a syringe filled with blue dye, filmed a special-effects video, and publicly claimed that he had successfully developed the Super Soldier Serum or the Human Gene Optimization Potion? Could that work?

Most people definitely would not believe it. After all, technology that so many pharmaceutical giants around the world could not master had supposedly been developed by a mere Qinghua University graduate? Wasn't that a joke?

But what if he added some fabricated data and made people half-believe it?

He did not need genuine experts to recognize it. With the enormous user base of the internet, as long as he established the image of a super genius, there would always be some people who believed what he said. At that point, upgrading it to level two should not be difficult, right?

How could Lin Feng not be excited at that thought?
