Chapter 407: – I am your father
It took several hours just to transfer the footage to Lin Jin's computer. After all, it was more than ten hours of high definition video.
So, by the time all the files were finally transferred, the sky outside had already turned dark. Zhu Dong who had been awkwardly lingering in Lin Jin’s house for several hours not knowing what to do finally couldn’t take it anymore. He hastily made an excuse and slipped away.
That left Lin Jin alone to deal with the more than ten hours of footage…
In order to make a good promotional video, Lin Jin had to carefully watch these more than ten hours of footage once over. Of course, she couldn’t actually watch the entire thing. Instead, she’d just use two or three times speed and skim it once or twice. Then she could get a rough idea of how to put the video together.
Even just skimming through the footage took Lin Jin several hours, and she finally realized how troublesome video editing was.
Before, although Lin Jin never said it out loud, she used to think that even with his job, Xia Tian should still be able to find some time every night to work on videos. But now, after experiencing it firsthand, she could finally understand Xia Tian a bit.
It was too terrible. Extracting the best parts from over ten hours and condensing it into a few minutes, or even ten minutes, was too hard.
It was okay if it were a dance video as there was only so much footage so it shouldn’t take too long. But it was really too hard to make a promotional video, there was just way too much footage to work with.
Lin Jin frowned in distress, thinking that maybe she should find a friend who was good at video editing to help her out.
But among the people she knew, they were mostly just students in the same class. Although they had some video editing courses, there wasn’t really anyone who could independently handle the post production of a video... right?
Well, it wouldn’t be surprising if there were a few geniuses in the class, but Lin Jin didn’t know any anyway.
As for that Wen Xuan guy, he was fine with things like English, drawing, and such, but when it came to technical software courses like video editing, he was absolutely terrible. Besides, with Wen Xuan’s personality, there was no way he would be willing to spend his gaming time on editing videos for Lin Jin, not even if she paid him.
Should she hire someone from outside to do it?
After skimming through the footage, Lin Jin collapsed onto her bed. She glanced at the time and found that even with her speeding up the video, it still took her four hours to get through.
Of course, there was no way Lin Jin could have stayed completely focused on the footage for the entire four hours. Instead, she kept playing with her phone, only occasionally glancing up at the screen. The result was that even after watching the more than ten hours of footage, she still had no idea how to start editing.
She was completely clueless.
“Hey, black cat" Lin Jin tilted her head, pulled out her phone and spoke to it “Can you give me a skill like video editing proficiency or video post production mastery or something?”
"This great black cat only issues tasks, not for cheating." the black cat who had been lounging on the phone screen, rolled its eyes as it looked up. "If you want to learn, I can help you find a good tutorial. Anyways, proficiency skills will definitely not be given for free."
"How about I very reluctantly take on another task from you? Just reward me with video post production mastery?" Lin Jin habitually bargained with the black cat. At first, she was afraid of the black cat, but over time, she started thinking it was actually very dumb and silly, always liking to play tricks on people.
The black cat carefully thought about it for a bit and reluctantly agreed: "Alright then, just go hook up with a male god and you’re good! Hook up with a male god within a week, and get him into bed, how’s that?"
"Not this!" Lin Jin's expression instantly darkened.
Back when she was still a guy, it was okay to do these kind tasks. Anyways, she was a guy back then and was not as beautiful as she was now. No matter how much she played with fire, she would be fine as long as she revealed her true identity. After all, those people who claimed “a dick makes it better” wouldn’t actually really do anything to a big dick girl in real life.
Oh, unless they were perverts like Liu Shengqi.
But now that she was a girl, if she kept playing with fire, then just one accident and she’d lose her virginity, alright?
Lin Jin sighed. Before the black cat could try to trick her any further, she immediately placed the phone face down on the bed.
It was already past ten at night. Normally by this time, Lin Jin would have already taken a shower and been in bed playing on her phone. But today, she had just finished going through all that footage and was too tired to even take a shower.
But just as she mustered the energy to get up and take a shower, she suddenly heard a knock at the front door.
There was no peephole on the front door of Lin Jin’s apartment, so there was no way to see who was outside. Though, if it were a friend coming over this late, they could have at least made a call, right?
Could it be a bad person?
Lin Jin immediately turned around and went to the bedroom. She pulled out the stun gun from her bag, and only then carefully tiptoed towards the front door.
Listening to the continuous knocking, Lin Jin tightly gripped the stun gun in her hand and cautiously opened a sliver.
"Why only open it now?" It was a man's voice.
The door was directly opened by the man, scaring Lin Jin a few steps back. She raised the stun gun and aimed it at the man’s heart.
"Who?!" She suppressed her fear and asked the man shrouded in darkness outside.
"I'm your father."
"Sss~"
As soon as the stun gun went off, the figure outside immediately clutched his body and fell backward onto the ground.
The motherf*cker swore at her as soon as she opened the door! Could this person be her arch nemesis?
Lin Jin’s heart was racing. She took a few deep breaths and tried to calm down a little.
This must be a bad guy! What f*cker knocks on doors this late at night, doesn’t even turn on the corridor lights when knocking, and then immediately forces their way in when the door opens. This must definitely be a bad person alright! Also, the voice didn’t sound familiar at all…
No wait, that voice did seem a bit familiar. She seemed to have just heard it a couple of days ago.
Lin Jin reached out and turned on the lights in the corridor. Afterwards, her entire body froze on the spot.
The man lying on the ground, was really her f*cking dad!
She panicked a bit, completely unsure what she should do.
F*ck! What do I do if I knock my dad out with a stun gun as he is entering the door?!
Lin Jin hurried out of her apartment, squatted down, and planned to drag her dad inside. Just at this time, the door across the hallway also opened. From inside a fifteen year or so big loli came out, rubbing her eyes and muddledly looking at Lin Jin, who was trying to pull her dad's unconscious body back into the apartment.
"Mom! There’s someone killing people and hiding corpses outside!" That big loli immediately turned her head and shouted back into her apartment.
What the f*ck?!
Lin Jin, who was currently busy, froze and looked up at the girl.
This person’s trouble, right?
