On the day Xiaohei flipped the table, Viker couldn't withstand the pressure and apologized.
Faced with accusations from his peers and insults from netizens, he finally stopped being stubborn and readily apologized on the video website.
However, Xiao He knew that the reason Viker apologized so readily was because he had his eye on the AI in his possession.
Seeing this person shamelessly asking him about love in a private message, Xiao He rolled his eyes and promptly blocked the person.
Xiao He couldn't be bothered with people like that.
Since becoming an actor, he has never lacked criticism and insults directed at him personally. Which celebrity doesn't have haters?
Xiao He didn't care at all.
...
The sensation on the international internet even spread to China.
Every rendering competition is a favorite topic for many marketing accounts. This time, xiaohei suddenly appeared and broke into the top five of the rankings, which naturally attracted a lot of attention from domestic peers. Xiaohei's "Mech Battle" entry was edited and spread by countless marketing accounts, and many domestic netizens felt proud of it.
However, various unpleasant rumors circulated about the work later, and public opinion in China was also quite varied.
Some people believe in this work, some question it, and some, like Viker abroad, choose to attack it directly, even raising it to the level of national honor and national spirit, believing that this xiaohei has brought the bad atmosphere in China to the foreign internet, bringing shame to China and making people ashamed... Anyway, this is the usual operation of these people.
Of course, some people are curious about who this xiaohei is. After all, their domestic circle is only so big, and they communicate with each other. Many contestants even update videos of their entries on their own accounts to attract traffic and show off their skills. But this xiaohei seems to have suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Through pinyin spelling, Chinese netizens affectionately call him "Teacher Xiao Hei".
The name sounds very casual, and even seems like a joke. It would be very difficult for Chinese netizens to find clues from this simple signature to find the author.
Therefore, when this author faced a lot of criticism and attacks, it was difficult for netizens in China to stand up for him.
This infuriated Xiao Hei's fans.
However, what was unexpected was that Xiao Hei also delivered a fatal blow in the face of such a public opinion crisis.
The fastest to react were the marketing accounts, which immediately reposted the clarification video from the foreign ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ website back to China, and the content of the video sparked heated discussions in China.
【Haha, haters, come out and talk! Who was hurling such insults earlier? Speak up!】
【I said a few words in defense of Xiao Hei before, and some people cursed me out. And now?】
【Are you dumbfounded? Haha, this Viker blogger is hilarious, that knee slide was so smooth.】
【If he doesn't apologize soon, his colleagues will tear him to pieces. 【doge emoji】】
【That arrogant little black guy is getting more and more curious about his real identity and what he does.】
【These two short videos have shattered the career dreams of countless people.】
Who exactly is this little black guy? Is his AI really that amazing?
It's hard not to suspect that this whole thing was actually a coordinated publicity stunt.
【Impossible, right? So all that fussing for over a month was actually just to advertise this AI software?】
【If even their president is doing advertisements, what's impossible for them?】
【My goodness! That's a truly masterful scheme! They've got everyone involved, from the organizers to the contestants, and even the spectators!】
【Are you all just watching the show, and only I'm genuinely interested in this software? Does anyone know what it's called? It can't possibly be software developed by some big shot, right? Did he provide a link to it on the external website?】
【Private message available.】
【DM me and I'll send it to you.】
【Hilarious! I don't know if they advertised it or not, but these people in China are about to start advertising, so please don't believe them. Xiao Hei said he uses this AI himself and there's no link to it whatsoever.】
【Am I the only one who finds this "Mech Battle" series produced by Xiaohei somewhat familiar? And the name Xiaohei sounds a lot like a certain celebrity...】
【This is the tech section; if you're into celebrities, go to the next area!】
【Haha, this is hilarious! A marketing video has brought together all sorts of outsiders, and they're all rushing to claim responsibility. It's really funny.】
The heated discussions both at home and abroad did not affect Xiao He.
After stunning all those who questioned him, Xiao He unleashed another barrage of attacks, silencing the organizers.
As for how the organizer should withstand the pressure from other companies, that's not Xiao He's concern.
He continued to busy himself with his own work.
...
November arrived quickly.
Xiao He completed all the filming of "Time and Space Standoff" ahead of the Golden Flower Awards.
As a science fiction film with a time travel theme, the ending naturally has another twist.
The lines of cause and effect intersect between past and future. Perhaps the moment the timeline changes, it already represents a different space. One side firmly believes in human-mechanical ascension, while the other believes in the eternal existence aided by external objects. There is no absolute right or wrong in this, and even the ultimate winner is not necessarily a righteous savior.
After discovering the weakness of Assassin A, the protagonist Lu An successfully defeated Assassin A.
And that mechanized "creature," whose mind was completely dominated by mechanical data and who had lost all human emotions, finally gained a brief moment of clarity.
Ironically, when human life has become completely dependent on machines, the breakdown of those machines does not lead to the complete demise of life.
In other words, the life of the "machine" has come to an end, but the part of life belonging to the "human" is still stubbornly breathing its last breath.
No one knows whether machines are too fragile or human life is always full of miracles.
But he was destined to die eventually.
The robot in the ruins was badly damaged, with its head blown off and only half remaining. It looked not only miserable but also somewhat terrifying.
Both of his eyes were completely destroyed and could no longer transmit images of the scene. Only a faint infrared sensor remained, allowing him to barely know that his opponent was standing in front of him.
Unfortunately, even if he wanted to say something in his last words now, he could no longer make a sound, as his speech function had been damaged.
It's somewhat ironic, and somewhat tragic.
In the end, he could only tremblingly extend his remaining mechanical left hand, palm open, revealing a data cable that emitted a faint glow, attempting to connect to Lu An's communicator and leave him something.
Lu An coldly stared at the "broken metal" in front of him, unsure of what kind of struggle he still intended to make.
Was he trying to take this opportunity to infect his communicator with a cyber virus, or was he planning to use the network for a final escape?
Surely it's not that I want to say something to him?
Just as Lu An hesitated, the mech behind him raised its hand, intelligently locked onto the robot on the ground, and smashed Killer A's brain with a bang.
"Bang—"
The last glimmer of light went out, and the body's life functions were completely lost. Killer A's hand fell heavily to the ground, turning into nothing more than scrap metal.
At this moment, the story of Assassin A came to a complete end...
Lu An turned around and glanced at the mecha behind him.
The mech that had fought alongside him for so long was now on the verge of being scrapped. Its body was covered in wounds, but its former glory could not be concealed. After launching its last attack, it silently crouched on the ground, like a small hill.
It seems that at this moment, all the foreign objects have already completed their mission.
