Chapter 1044: Chapter 1044: Also Been Pierced
At first, the tea tasted bitter, but the aftertaste was sweet.
It remembered something, "Master, didn’t you used to dislike drinking tea?"
Hannah lowered her eyes, fingers tracing the rim of the teacup gently before withdrawing her hand, "I didn’t like it, but he enjoyed it, so I wanted to give it a try."
Understanding dawned on Gold Lotus, who settled down on the table with a plop, not asking further.
It was afraid of being fed a mouthful of dog food.
Returning to the previous topic, "What was that follow-up move you mentioned, Master?"
Hannah reached for another cup of tea, lightly tapped Gold Lotus’s head with her fingertip, and wore a smile on her face, though her eyes held a detached look, "You’ll find out soon enough."
Gold Lotus was bewildered, scratching its head and feeling quite frustrated, "Master, do you think Crystal Quach will step forward to help explain?"
It’s rare for its master to do a good deed, and it was truly worried that this might dampen her enthusiasm for doing good things.
What if it made her even worse in the future?
The mere thought was terrifying.
Hannah saw what Gold Lotus was thinking but said nothing, simply sipping her tea quietly.
Gold Lotus couldn’t help but lament, "The situation clearly isn’t like that, why can’t everyone see it? They’re just being manipulated by Tiffany Lynch, aren’t humans supposed to be intelligent?"
In the eyes of artificial intelligence, humans were the most intelligent beings in the world.
Their ancestors managed to survive in the harshest environments, enduring terrible natural disasters, and build their own civilizations.
But why couldn’t they see the simplest things now, blindly insulting and targeting someone based on a random comment or an incoherent video clip?
Hannah didn’t answer, only gently rubbed Gold Lotus’s head and teased it, "Keep scratching, and you’ll go bald again."
Gold Lotus flicked its tail in irritation, "Master, Tiffany Lynch has walked all over you, and yet you can still laugh about it."
Hannah withdrew her hand, "This isn’t the first time she’s done something like this, when have you seen her succeed?"
Gold Lotus replied in a small voice, "What if."
Although Tiffany Lynch might be a bit dumb and silly, she was still the heroine after all.
What if the plot’s degree of collapse wasn’t enough to affect her heroine’s aura, and she ended up succeeding?
Hannah withdrew her hand, pensive, "That’s true, if it were the old her, there would indeed be no chance of success."
Gold Lotus became confused, "What’s this about the old her and the current her, did Tiffany Lynch somehow change into a different person?"
It was frightened by the thought it had blurted out.
Its small eyes were filled with doubt.
Covering its face with a paw, the words tumbled out one by one, "Master, could it be that Tiffany Lynch, like you, got ’possessed’?"
Gold Lotus didn’t receive an answer from its master because Hannah spent the following time engrossed in a laptop, busy with something unknown.
She didn’t even miss a beat during meals, diligently committed to her task.
Though it was an artificial intelligence itself, Gold Lotus had to admit that its master’s level of expertise was indeed much higher.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to hack into its backend program in the first place.
Thinking about it now, it still felt a bit embarrassed...

The video had hung on the trending searches for an entire day and night, and the heat of the incident had begun to decline.
Yet, The Kite’s box office plummeted harshly that day, even struggling to break through the hundred million mark, while on the flip side, The Palace Wall profited from the situation.
Although it wasn’t a dramatic increase in ticket sales, the situation was certainly better than before.
