196: Chapter 195 is a hit! It's gone viral! Everyone's gone crazy!

zero egg is definitely going to be a hit.

Everyone who attended the press conference knew this deep down, but they didn't expect this fire to come so fiercely.

Opening the video comment section, Xie Miao took a slight glance, and the first comment he saw made his expression ugly.

"Nowadays, anyone can be a self-media creator? You're making videos too? Go wash up and sleep early! That way you can still have some daydreams!"

Daydreams? You're the one daydreaming!

Xie Miao felt angry in his heart and continued reading.

"What the hell is this? Artificial Intelligence? Forgive my bluntness, but I work in this field, and existing technology simply cannot reach this level. OP, have some bottom line when trying to earn a living, okay?"

I haven't even started earning a living yet!

Xie Miao didn't hate this comment; he did indeed rely on this to earn a living.

If conditions allowed, he would also appropriately exaggerate product performance, but the problem was... he was filming truthfully!

Being suspected of faking it even when filming truthfully, who could he reason with?

"This video, just watch it for fun. If such a thing really appears, remember to call me, I'll spend my life savings to buy it!"

This comment didn't curse, so Xie Miao continued reading.

"The video editing is great, don't edit next time."

Xie Miao gritted his teeth.

These were considered mild; there were some unbearable ones that directly used national insults, which Xie Miao subconsciously ignored.

After reading dozens more, most were still critical comments.

Questioning the authenticity of the video was one thing, and questioning China's technological development level was something he could endure, but some bold netizens actually questioned Xie Miao's moral standards and character! And they escalated it to racial issues.

This he could not tolerate!

Livid, Xie Miao edited a ten-minute continuous, uninterrupted segment from the video he recorded yesterday, posted it directly, and declared: "If the video content is fake, the blogger will livestream eating poop!"

That wasn't enough; he also posted the official website of Frontier Technology Co., Ltd., and continued: "For those who want to question it, buy it first and then talk!"

After doing this, Xie Miao calmed down slightly.

Looking at the zero egg that was charging, his heart was filled with comfort. With this thing here, what was there to be afraid of?

However many doubts there are now, there will be that many gasps of amazement later.

The online world has always been like this.

It wasn't just Xie Miao's video; videos released by other authors also experienced the same treatment.

The exaggerated performance of zero egg completely ignited a group of keyboard warriors who liked to criticize domestic products.

Although they were few in number, their combat power was truly not weak. They directly occupied the comment sections, and all sorts of demeaning words were overwhelming.

Even worse, some felt that leaving comments wasn't enough to vent their anger, so they reposted it directly, adding a disdainful line: "Look, China's faking has reached this level now; the only thing worth watching is the special effects."

Some authors, like Xie Miao, directly retorted.

Others were like old monks in meditation, ignoring it entirely, but their "little hands" that didn't dare click into the comment sections betrayed their true inner thoughts.

Cyberbullying is still quite terrifying.

But regardless, with the participation of these people, zero egg's videos and articles gathered a wave of small popularity.

In just one night and one day, the zero egg test videos released by self-media on major browser platforms were exploded by numerous enthusiastic netizens.

Then came the numerous copycats, and more videos and articles sprang up like bamboo shoots after rain.

Among them, the sources of information were varied—some reposted, some copied, some processed and then sent out—all scrambling, afraid that if they were too late, they would lose the heat.

And the quality of these people varied, uneven and patchy.

Greater heat was stirred up, bringing more people to watch and repost, even attracting the attention of official media and big influencers.

The ripple effect gradually took shape, and the news that the world's first Artificial Intelligence was born in China spread rapidly across the internet like a storm.

The name of Frontier Technology Co., Ltd. was mentioned again and again along with zero egg.

This was a carnival for the media, a classic party of the internet age.

8:00 PM.

When Xie Miao returned home and opened his laptop again, he was shocked to find that the news of the birth of Artificial Intelligence appeared on the Weibo trending list, ranked third!

And just as he was checking it, the ranking jumped, squeezing out the news of a certain celebrity announcing a relationship that was ranked second, becoming second instead.

Xie Miao was speechless.

He hurriedly opened the backend of his iC browser, only to find that his private messages had long since exploded.

"Author-dada, is the zero egg function demonstrated in the video real?"

"Author-dada, may I ask where to buy this zero egg?"

"Author-dada, this zero egg on the official website is accepting pre-orders. How long until I can get it after pre-ordering?"

"Author-dada, do you have contact with this Frontier Company? Can I pay a little more to get it sooner?"

"Author-dada, are you selling the zero egg in your hand? I'll add money!"

Looking at the several messages sent by the same fan, and then looking at his video which had already exceeded 200,000 views and over 50,000 likes, Xie Miao felt as if he were in a dream.

Donghai City.

In a flat villa near the city center.

A young woman sighed and closed her laptop, looking at another woman beside her who had a calm expression. Her small face was slightly wrinkled, and she said with some disappointment: "Sister Lanlan, still no news."

"It's okay, this author might be busy."

The woman named Lanlan was obviously older than the woman speaking, and she smiled: "At least we already know where to buy it; now we just need to place an order."

The first woman pouted angrily. Just this bit of information was something she had spent half the afternoon flipping through all the related videos and comment sections to find, which was not easy at all.

"But, the official website is out of stock now, it can only be pre-ordered, and it has to be full payment."

The young woman was a bit angry.

"Then do you still want it or not?"

Lanlan asked with a smile.

The young woman hesitated slightly, thinking of the content in the video, she was very tempted and immediately became firm: "Want! Full payment is full payment, I'll go order two for us right now."

She clenched her small fist.

"It's just money, our Feihuang Group isn't short of money!"

Lanlan watched the young woman run back to the computer, a slight smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

Elsewhere.

A young man was lying in front of the computer, earnestly watching the black webpage in front of him. Beside him was a tablet, on which the zero egg test video was playing.

He was an engineer, but at the same time, he was also a Frontier Technology enthusiast.

He liked to collect all kinds of technological products, from mobile phones, tablets, to computers, 3D printers, game simulation equipment, etc., all of which were within the scope of his collection.

Artificial Intelligence was the same.

In his home, he already had all the Artificial Intelligence products on the market, Baidu's "Xiao Du", Ali Group's "Little Spirit", Miri Company's "Little Ai", Huaneng Group's "Little e", and so on.

And today, he discovered a brand new Artificial Intelligence product.

A brand new smart product released by a not-well-known technology company—zero egg.

It claimed to be the world's first Artificial Intelligence product, capable of understanding most contextual commands, supporting personalized customization, and having rich and diverse usage scenarios.

To be honest, as an industry insider, he was initially scoffing at this, and in many test videos, he had left many of his disdainful comments.

But as his understanding deepened, he gradually became a bit suspicious.

With such large-scale promotion, how fake could it actually be?

Holding a half-believing, half-doubting attitude, he watched almost all the zero egg test videos and was stunned to find that these videos were almost all filmed in the same venue from different angles.

If they were all fake, this faking team would be pretty awesome.

After all, holding a press conference specifically for the sake of faking is something no one with a normal brain would do.

The cost incurred would not be worth the return.

Thus, as a veteran collector, he was tempted.

The 13,888 full pre-order price couldn't stop his desire to collect it.

And the consequence was that his wallet flattened again.

It looks like he's going to be eating dirt, but hopefully, this zero egg can really reach the level shown in the video.

No... it doesn't need to reach it completely; he would be satisfied if it reached 50%.

As long as it can reach 50% of the video's effect, this thing would be awesome to the heavens!

From now on, he will turn from a passerby to a fan, and hype it up!

Scenes like this were playing out all over China.

Numerous netizens who had watched the zero egg test videos carefully studied the press conference of Frontier Technology Co., Ltd. with attitudes of seeking truth, nitpicking, or just curiosity; some of them even found the video of the entire press conference online.

And then... the situation became somewhat uncontrollable.

zero egg became completely popular.

Frontier Technology Co., Ltd. also became popular.

And the traffic to the official website of Frontier Technology Co., Ltd. reached its peak since its establishment, and it was still increasing.

The release of zero egg ultimately brought some ripples to the long-calm land of China.

At this moment, the fluctuations of this ripple seemed far from over.

Everything was just beginning.
