Super Invincible Battleship

Chapter 273: Chapter 155: Video Editing

Yan Fei sat in the drone cockpit, sleeping soundly below the sand dunes, with no idea how long he had been asleep when he suddenly woke up. He had been injured multiple times the night before, and although he was almost fully healed by the rapid healing ability of the black sphere, the injuries had affected his very foundation. Thus, feeling somewhat weak, he had fallen into a deep sleep, using rest to slowly mend the damage to his body.

After waking up this time, Yan Fei still felt a sensation of his spiritual soul being torn, but without the intense pain that accompanied it previously. Aside from his spiritual soul, his other injuries were not healing as well as hoped. However, he believed that with the drone data refresh, the mysterious power that emerged during the data refresh would surely heal all his wounds.

Then Yan Fei felt extremely hungry, knowing it was because his body had consumed too much energy while recovering. The precious Chinese medicines he had taken were mostly digested and absorbed, so he began to take out the food he had stored in the Universal Space, replenishing the nutrients lost from his body. He gobbled down the food, not stopping until he had eaten the equivalent of five people’s portions, only then feeling like he could not eat another bite.

It was only after satisfying his hunger that Yan Fei started to check the time, discovering it was now past nine o’clock the next evening, meaning he had slept for nearly twenty hours. Fortunately, the sand dune he chose was surrounded by desert, with no one passing by, allowing Yan Fei to sleep so soundly and safely for such an extended time.

The time had not come, and the drone data had not been refreshed, so the drone was still in a damaged state, unable to take off for combat, and even normal flying was fraught with difficulties. Furthermore, it was completely out of ammunition and energy points, so Yan Fei chose not to fly out from the sand dune immediately but to wait there patiently for the moment of the drone data refresh. Only when the drone’s combat power returned to its peak state would Yan Fei dare to take off, otherwise, it would be akin to courting death.

As Yan Fei sat in the cockpit waiting for time to pass, he gradually started to feel bored. With no internet access, he couldn’t go online to check the news. However, he quickly thought of the videos he had acquired from the Assassin Sect Headquarters; since he couldn’t perform any other operations on the drone, he could use the Auxiliary Brain to edit some of the footage for submission on the Dark Web when completing tasks. There was also the need to edit the video of him torturing the bearded man before releasing it to the internet to enhance the deterrent power of his identity as the Destroyer.

After last night’s battles, the drone’s body was not only damaged, but its weapons and ammunition were also entirely depleted. However, there were still plenty of energy points leftover, so Yan Fei could use the Auxiliary Brain to modify and edit the footage he had shot.

Acting on his thought, Yan Fei first imported the video of the annihilation of the Assassin Sect, shot on the video camera, into the Auxiliary Brain. Then, he controlled the Auxiliary Brain to edit these videos. Although Yan Fei was not a professional video editor, he did not need to perform the editing himself. He simply had to convey his requirements to the Auxiliary Brain, which would edit the video accordingly. Under Yan Fei’s command, the Auxiliary Brain demonstrated its intelligence at this time.

Very soon, based on the footage shot, a one-hour-long video was freshly produced. To achieve a shocking effect, the Auxiliary Brain even matched this video with a rousing piece of music. However, on viewing this video, Yan Fei found it too lengthy, with some scenes dragging on too long and others not very clear. The overall visual quality was too dark and the key points did not stand out.

So, Yan Fei conveyed his requirements to the Auxiliary Brain once more, transmitting his thoughts for a second round of edits. Following his latest demands, the Auxiliary Brain reprocessed the video, cutting it down to forty minutes. In this new video, the original footage’s quality was auto-repaired by the Auxiliary Brain, suddenly enhancing the texture and clarity of the images and brightening up the scenes. The story also highlighted the key points of annihilating the Assassin Sect, replaying the whole process of the Destroyer’s annihilation of the sect within a limited time.

After a cursory review of the video, Yan Fei still felt it was too long and asked the Auxiliary Brain to modify it again. Eventually, the video was shortened to twenty minutes. At this point, the video had become clear and concise, with a brisk pace, prominent key points, straightforward narration, and even had continuous twists that vividly portrayed the positive image of the Destroyer and the cunning of the Assassin Sect members. Watching the rousing music and sharp killing techniques almost made Yan Fei hallucinate, as if he was watching a thrilling movie trailer.

Thus, Yan Fei was very satisfied with the content of this final task version of the video, then had the Auxiliary Brain add subtitles and voice-overs in various languages to complete the production process. As soon as he left this place, Yan Fei would upload the video onto the Dark Web, announcing the completion of his task of annihilating the Assassin Sect.

Once the video was edited, Yan Fei imported the footage of him torturing the bearded man from the high-definition camera into the Auxiliary Brain for editing. Yet, Yan Fei put much more effort into editing this video. In the Auxiliary Brain’s initial edit, the video reached half an hour in length, perfectly recreating the entire process of Yan Fei torturing the bearded man. As per Yan Fei’s special request, the video’s quality was intentionally enhanced by the Auxiliary Brain. Coupled with some eerie music, the video appeared extremely bloody and terrifying.

However, Yan Fei still found it too long since prolonged videos could dilute the viewer’s attention and fail to evoke the desired feelings of fear and terror. Therefore, he asked the Auxiliary Brain to compress the video further. And after the second round of editing by the Auxiliary Brain, the length of the video was reduced to fifteen minutes.

Yan Fei was very pleased with the duration and content of this torture video, but while watching, he spotted a few issues. For instance, he saw the rusty chain hanging on the rock wall in the video, prompting him to immediately have the Auxiliary Brain pixelate the rusty chain, to prevent viewers from recognizing what it was.

His experience in Kenya, Africa, told Yan Fei that these necessary items for Drone Upgrade all contained significant secrets. The rusty gear was like this, and so was the rusty chain. Even national forces were very interested in these items and would send experts to snatch them. Therefore, once Yan Fei revealed the existence of this thing, it would undoubtedly cause trouble, and his identity as the Destroyer would draw attention from major powers, which would not be beneficial for his future actions.

After he covered up the traces of the rusty chain, Yan Fei checked the video again. Then, he felt that the few unclear words the bearded man uttered during the torture might leak some information. Thus, when the bearded man spoke, he removed the sound of his voice and put a mosaic over his mouth. This way, one could neither hear the bearded man’s voice nor lip-read what he was saying.

Once all this was completed, Yan Fei watched the video several more times. Not finding any additional slip-ups, he saved the torture video to upload it to the Internet when available, fulfilling his purpose of paying blood with blood.

In this manner, Yan Fei kept watching, editing, and modifying the video, and time flew by quickly. It wasn’t until the Drone Body vibrated, initiating a data refresh, and a mysterious power entered Yan Fei’s body, helping to heal the 30% of his injuries that the black sphere hadn’t repaired, that Yan Fei realized it was already 12 a.m. local time.

With this refresh, the entire body of the drone became complete and intact, including the wings that had been lost, now reappearing on the body. The quantity of weapons and ammunition also returned to full, with the drone restoring its total combat power.

And as Yan Fei’s body was influenced by the mysterious power, his internal injuries instantly healed to over 95%. Even his torn Spiritual Soul began to slowly knit back together under the influence of the mysterious power, no longer causing any negative impact on his actions. This mysterious power suddenly appeared and healed most of Yan Fei’s injuries. But it did not fully disappear, continuing to work on his body, and before long, Yan Fei’s injuries would be fully healed.

It was at this moment that Yan Fei completely let go of his worries. With the peak condition of his Drone Avatar at his disposal, he could ensure his own safety as long as he did not leave the drone, even if he encountered enemies again. However, experts like Huo Shan and Duan Hongye were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, and both were severely injured and had limited mobility. How could he possibly run into them again at just any time and any place?

Yan Fei started to pilot the drone to take to the skies, only to see the surface of the sand dunes shifting, a cloud of dust rising into the air, revealing a huge F-15 Fighter slowly emerging from the ground, gradually hovering in mid-air, and then accelerating in the correct direction, ready to fly away swiftly.

The drone had restored all its combat power, and with Yan Fei inside, its drone body naturally had nothing to fear but was flying at full speed, ready to leave the extremely dangerous Middle East. However, this time, Yan Fei did not choose the same route he had taken earlier but instead went southwest. He planned to cross Iraq, then enter the Persian Gulf, with Qatar as his final destination.

Yan Fei did not choose to return the same way because there was one more thing he had not finished. In the incident where Liu Tingting was beheaded, there was still a hidden culprit – Al Jazeera English Television Station, which was an accomplice of the Assassin Sect.

Although Al Jazeera English claimed to have no ties with the Assassin Sect and had not directly harmed Liu Tingting, if they had not broadcasted the unique video recordings of the KB elements, then no one would have felt motivated to produce such brutal videos, and Liu Tingting would not have suffered such a terrible fate. Therefore, in the Liu Tingting incident, this innovative Al Jazeera English Television Station must also pay its price.
