    At first nce, he looks like a man with a story.


    On closer inspection, it must be your eyes ying tricks on you.


    —Considering his youth, his story is probably no more than "the pain of a young heart," "unrequited love."


    [The girl just now really turned thispetition into a high-stakes game, and now the following contestants are in a very awkward position!]


    [Right, all I can think about now is that gun!]


    [I can''t even pay attention to other weapons!]


    [This young handsome guy is probably going to be overshadowed by that girl from just now!]


    [...]


    The livestream was flooded with a barrage ofments.


    Lin Chuan politely introduced himself: "Hello, host and judges, I''m contestant number 80, Lin Chuan."


    "Hello, Comrade Lin Chuan."


    Zhou Nan and Zhao Xiaoli both nodded in a friendly manner.


    Compared to Zhou Nan, there was an added spark of interest in Zhao Xiaoli''s eyes. The person they were connecting with now was indeed the web novel writer.


    "Comrade Lin Chuan, ording to the registration information, you are also from Anling City in Han River Province just like the previous contestant. However, you are a... web novel writer?" Zhou Nan was both conversing with Lin Chuan and introducing his background to the audience.


    [A web novel writer ispeting too, amazing how there are talents in every field!]


    [It''s said that web novel writers have huge imaginations, is he going toe up with something like "Two-Dimensional Foil," "Space-based Weapon," or "Photolithography Machine" this time?]


    [Are web novel writers that good?]


    [Bro upstairs, he''s being sarcastic!]


    [I don''t read much web fiction, why do you say that?]


    [Then you should check it out. In web fiction, stuff like "Hand-cranked Lithography Machines" is just basic plotting.]


    [Yikes! That''s really over the top!]


    [This guy looks prettyposed. Plus, since this is a seriouspetition, he must have designed some really proper weapons.]


    [Don''t be so sure, have you forgotten about number 78''s cruiser?]


    [...]


    In the control room.


    Sun Chengughed heartily: "Even a web novel writer ispeting, military enthusiasts indeed span every industry. Let''s see what creative ideas this young man has."


    Lin Chuan faced Zhou Nan''s question and nodded slightly: "Yes, I am a web novel writer who is also very interested in weapons."


    "Have you written any novels that deal with weapon development?"


    Zhou Nan asked an additional question to liven up the atmosphere in the livestream.


    After all, many viewers were still reminiscing about that gun.


    Lin Chuan smiled lightly: "I am about to release a novel that is rted to weapons."


    Zhou Nan and Zhao Xiaoli exchanged looks, silently understanding each other.


    Zhao Xiaoli seemed to grasp the reason for Lin Chuan''s participation in the "Weapon Innovation Design Contest."


    —Marketing for his new book.


    Some viewers in the livestream had the same thought.


    [Case closed, he must be wanting to ride on the coattails of the buzz!]


    [It''s tough being a web novel writer, you can''t make money just by writing, you have to do your own marketing as well.]


    [If he''s got the skills, I don''t mind him trying to get some attention, but let''s see if he has what it takes first!]


    [That''s a fair point.]


    [...]


    "Comrade Lin Chuan, introduce us to your weapon."


    Zhao Xiaoli kept her smile as she gestured for Lin Chuan to start presenting his designed weapon.


    Lin Chuan had anticipated the host''s and audience''s reactions,ing prepared and maintaining hisposure as he kept his own pace:


    "Sure, the weapon I''ve designed is a ''Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher,'' which uses a rocket engine to propel the projectile andbines precision guidance technology for long-distance urate strikes. It can currently achieve precise targeting within a 600-kilometer range."


    Upon hearing this.


    Muscles twitched on Zhou Nan''s face.


    In the control room, Sun Chengughed out loud, his face breaking into a smile, not one of relief but one of rxed resignation.

    As for the viewers in the livestream, they went wild!


    [That''s amazing, urate striking over 600 kilometers!]


    [I don''t believe it! He must be bluffing!]


    [If this is true, I''d eat my keyboard, on a livestream no less!]


    [For the sake of our nation''s military development, props to the brother upstairs for hismitment! Respect!]


    [I could believe 60 kilometers, but really?]


    [But 600 kilometers, isn''t that beyond the capabilities of any country yet?]


    [Think about it, he didn''t go for a hand-cranked photolithography machine, isn''t he already much more realistic than many web novel writers?]
