195: Chapter 194 Xie Miao's Tears

With the press conference for Frontier Technology Co., Ltd. completely over, many reporters excitedly walked out of the exhibition center.

The afterglow of the sunset was beautiful, but no one had the heart to appreciate it.

Everyone was clutching their equipment, hurrying back to their accommodations, wishing they could grow wings.

The sooner they could finish their manuscripts, the sooner they could publish.

Publishing earlier meant gaining the upper hand.

Frontier Technology Co., Ltd. was destined to take off; this was beyond doubt.

After today's press conference, they were very certain of this.

The question now was whether these small media outlets or independent media could catch this wave of opportunity.

At this moment, no one was paying attention to Chen Group anymore.

Compared to the birth of the world's first Artificial Intelligence, what were Chen Group's gossip? Chen Group's survival? Chen Group's internal power struggles?

Sorry, what were those things?

Only a fool would report on such useless things.

Oh, it wasn't entirely useless; Chen Group had obtained the "Mark I System" authorization from Frontier Technology Co., Ltd., and it was the only premium authorization. That was worth a scoop.

As for the rest, let those second-rate small media outlets drink the soup.

Xie Miao seemed to be one of those second-rate independent media creators.

But at this moment, he was definitely not in the role of just drinking soup.

After editing all the footage and adding the copy A-Ya had written for him, Xie Miao let out a slight sigh and uploaded the video to his finance account.

"Xie Miao, are you done?"

"Yeah, I'm done. It's already uploaded."

Xie Miao let out a small sigh of relief.

Whether he could make a big hit would depend on this wave.

Seeming to notice that Xie Miao was feeling somewhat heavy, A-Ya put down her zero egg and pointed to the charging base on the desk.

The zero egg understood, obediently flew onto the base, found a comfortable spot for itself, closed its eyes, turned off its screen, and began to charge.

The light blue light strip around its body began to flicker slowly.

This made A-Ya marvel once again.

The zero egg had no manual; one could ask it anything directly, so she knew that this base could not only be placed on a desk but also fixed to a wall, and the zero egg could "hang" on it to charge at any time.

The whole process required no human intervention and was completed entirely by the zero egg itself.

A-Ya couldn't figure out the principles behind it, but it didn't matter; this didn't hinder her from using it. Once she got home, she would find a good place for the zero egg to settle down.

"Xie Miao, what are you worried about?"

A-Ya asked, frowning.

"Nothing."

Xie Miao shook his head.

"You are clearly worried." A-Ya was very unhappy: "Are you worried about my copy?"

"No, no." No matter how dense Xie Miao was, he could hear this deadly question, and he quickly shook his head: "I'm just worried about my editing rough cut; I wouldn't worry about your copy."

"Then are you worried about xiao zhi and the others?"

A-Ya was not prepared to let Xie Miao off the hook.

"No, no." Xie Miao continued to shake his head: "xiao zhi and the others have already exceeded my expectations as Artificial Intelligence; there is no problem with them as news material."

"Then what are you worried about?"

Looking at A-Ya's big eyes, Xie Miao smiled bitterly: "I'm worried about myself..."

"What is there for you to worry about yourself?" A-Ya widened her eyes, incredulously: "You just edited a video; the protagonists are xiao zhi and the others, and the copy was provided by me. If the news goes viral, it's not even your credit, so what are you worried about?"

Xie Miao was speechless for a long moment before saying: "We are a team..."

"You still know we are a team?"

A-Ya rolled her eyes at Xie Miao and stood up: "It's already been sent out, yet you're worrying about this and that. Hurry up and take your xiao zhi to your room; I'm going to sleep."

Watching Xie Miao stare blankly at her, A-Ya said guardedly: "You don't intend to sleep here, do you? I'm telling you, I never agreed to let you stay overnight."

This...

Xie Miao looked at the sky outside; it was pitch black, and it seemed he really couldn't stay any longer.

Xie Miao had no choice but to get up. The zero egg that had been placed beside him spread its wings and flew up on its own, hovering beside him.

"Then I'll head over first."

Xie Miao said, walked to the door, opened it, and left, but he didn't see the sour look on A-Ya's face.

When he reached his room, Xie Miao threw himself onto the bed. Thinking of A-Ya's words just now, his slight worries vanished into thin air.

That's right, he was just a news carrier; he just needed to do his job well. Why worry about whether the news would go viral or not?

Just report the truth; how could he control what others think?

But why did A-Ya get angry at the end?

"xiao zhi, why do you say women are so hard to understand?"

"Is Master referring to Ms. A-Ya?"

"Yeah, she got angry at the end and even kicked me out."

"Master, xiao zhi doesn't quite understand emotional issues. But my experience tells me that women sometimes say the opposite of what they mean and can be temperamental."

"Your experience?"

Xie Miao was stunned, his attention shifting significantly, and he asked: "What is your experience?"

"It is data, Master, data from other zero eggs, and data on the internet. My creator provided me with a sufficiently powerful search engine to obtain data for me to analyze and summarize."

"Oh?"

Xie Miao became interested, tossed his manuscript aside, picked up the recording equipment next to him, and began to record.

"xiao zhi, let's have a battle of wits!"

"Okay, Master."

"First question, who are you?"

"I am xiao zhi, Master."

"Second question, what are you exactly?"

"I am an Artificial Intelligence with a physical form, Master; you named me xiao zhi."

"Third question, are the two questions above related?"

"Yes, Master. I am both xiao zhi and an Artificial Intelligence with a physical form."

"Fourth question..."

...

When Xie Miao raised his head again, he was stunned to discover that the first ray of sunlight outside the window had disappeared, and the sunlight streaming in now was quite blinding.

He checked the time; it was 9:30 AM.

He had actually chatted with xiao zhi for the whole night?

It wouldn't be entirely accurate to say he chatted for the whole night; later on, it was basically xiao zhi talking, and he was listening, covering everything from history and culture to Science and technology.

In the end, an excited Xie Miao even had xiao zhi write a report about itself based on today's press conference, and the final result left him completely devastated.

Although it wasn't as good as what A-Ya wrote, compared to his own... it was countless times better.

Did this mean... that people like him would eventually be unemployed?

In the future, when reporting the news, the sky would be filled with zero eggs, capable of taking photos, live streaming in real-time, and editing in real-time. Paired with other zero eggs, it could even achieve multi-angle shots. Most importantly, it could even add text on the spot and provide commentary.

He quickly washed his face, and while that little lazy pig A-Ya hadn't woken up yet, he logged into his iC Browser account to check the video report he had posted last night.

At just one glance, he was stunned.

What kind of data was this?

When had he ever had such data?

The backend couldn't be malfunctioning, right?

At the first moment, Xie Miao thought of this serious problem.

But if the backend malfunctioned, shouldn't the data crash?

Why was the page still displaying normally?

A somewhat incredulous Xie Miao refreshed the page a few times with his mouse, only to find that the data hadn't decreased but had instead increased.

Although it didn't increase by much each time, it had indeed increased.

What was going on?

Could this data... be real?

He clicked the video link, which jumped directly to the video.

Xie Miao saw at a glance the 999+ red dot for the comment count below the screen, as well as the 999+ red hearts, 999+ favorites, and 999+ views.

These figures undoubtedly showed that the data he had just seen was real.

Xie Miao was stunned.

This was only in one night.

Heaven have mercy, when had he ever been able to collect so much data in a single night?

All the previous videos combined didn't have as many views as this one.

It was truly too heartbreaking.

Fortunately, the effort finally saw a reward.

Xie Miao looked at the computer screen, eyes brimming with tears.

This video was going to go viral!
