400: My Lord, times have changed.

Old Li looked at the scene of the accident from before.

Indeed.

Because the utility pole had fallen right in the middle of the road, leaving only a passage barely wide enough for one car, many cars were stopped ahead, not daring to pass.

After all, the passage was too narrow; even experienced drivers might not be able to pass safely without scratching their vehicles.

Old Li estimated that the Radish Run's body width was just enough to pass, but whether autonomous driving had the technology to do so was another matter.

He didn't care; his goal was popularity anyway. If Radish Run couldn't pass, would the popularity increase even more?

Moreover, he thought this was a good thing.

Not being able to pass meant that Radish Run still needed improvement and couldn't fully replace drivers.

But unfortunately, things didn't go as he wished.

Radish Run only paused for a moment before following the car in front.

With a 'whoosh,' it zipped through.

"Holy cow, awesome!"

"This skill, even a ten-year veteran driver might not have it."

"Fenglei is still amazing; its intelligent driving computing power is definitely far ahead!"

"Heh, it's just a coincidence. Is there a need to be so excited?"

"Exactly, a blind cat found a dead mouse. They won't have this good luck next time."

...

As expected.

Thanks to the car accident, Old Li's live stream surprisingly topped the recommendation list.

"Wow, this Radish Run drives so steadily and has such good service. It's truly a dream car."

"If only I could buy a Radish Run! It could pick me up for work and drop me off, and then go pick up passengers on its own during other times. Maybe in a year or two, I could earn back the car cost and electricity fees. How wonderful!"

"Dream on! How could such a profitable project ever be our turn?!"

"When private individuals can buy it, that means it's time to harvest the leeks."

"I hope Radish Run can be promoted nationwide as soon as possible. I'm already fed up with those unscrupulous drivers who take detours."

"Also, I'm a bit socially anxious. Sometimes when I encounter a talkative driver, it's really uncomfortable. Autonomous taxis are truly tailor-made for me."

"Agreed, I'm also an 'I' person. Encountering an 'E' person driver is truly hell. I feel like dying."

"Indeed, some drivers are fine, but encountering those without a sense of boundaries, asking this and that, they are more annoying than all your aunts and uncles combined."

At the same time.

Yang Yang and Liu Hai, along with other car review bloggers, also arrived in Wu Du.

After placing their orders and experiencing Radish Run for a day, they were deeply moved.

And inspiration struck, so they edited their videos overnight.

It was a pity.

Due to Old Li's explosive car accident scene, although their commentary was more professional and refined, their popularity was still far behind his.

"Tsk tsk, that old fellow really stepped in dog poop when he went out. His popularity is higher than all of ours combined."

Liu Hai looked enviously at Old Li's live stream clips, with nearly eight-figure views.

He was filled with envy.

Yang Yang glanced at it, took a sip of cold coffee, and commented casually:

"The internet is like that; becoming popular can happen overnight. It's a matter of timing and fate."

"But I don't envy this kind of popularity. After all, he earned it with his life."

"Yes, although I envy his popularity, I also don't want to encounter a car accident one day, after all, not everyone is that lucky."

"Compared to this matter, I'm more concerned about the Mitsubishi order. After all, it's a big order, and giving it up just like that still leaves me a bit unwilling."

Yang Yang could never let go of that order.

"Hey, Brother Yang, didn't you say before that your conscience wouldn't allow it? Why are you regretting it now?"

Chen Jinliang teased.

"You know, that was a seven-figure reward. If we had taken that order, we could have laid flat for the whole year."

Yang Yang pouted.

"However, if I had really done it, I suspect I wouldn't be able to sleep well for ten years. If something really went wrong, I would live in self-reproach for the rest of my life."

"Exactly, look, although our current popularity is not as high as that newcomer Old Li, we have a huge fan base, so we don't have to worry about not having traffic."

Chen Jinliang said with a smile.

"You're quite composed; no wonder you've attracted millions of fans in just a year."

Yang Yang looked at Chen Jinliang with appreciation. This was the person he wanted to find.

And at this moment.

Yang Yang also clicked on his data backend and found that in just half an hour, the click-through rate of his car experience video had already exceeded ten thousand.

And the data was still constantly rising.

This was truly an unexpected surprise.

"Little Chen is right, the click-through rate has really gone up. Have your data also increased?"

"It's true, and the popularity is unusually high."

Liu Hai was surprised, but also puzzled by the sudden surge in data.

Because according to his many years of experience, if a video didn't explode within half a day of being released, it would generally be very difficult for it to gain traction.

After all.

They were all big YouTubers with enough followers.

Half a day was enough time to push it to all their followers.

If followers weren't interested in the video, or didn't finish watching it, the platform wouldn't give it much exposure.

"Hmm? I've actually gained two thousand followers."

Yang Yang noticed the anomaly at this point.

In addition to the video itself, the surge in data also brought a long-awaited small increase in followers.

It should be noted.

For big influencers like them who had reached a bottleneck, it was generally very difficult to gain more followers without a major breakthrough.

What was going on?

Did our content trigger platform hot search keywords??

The group looked at each other, all a bit bewildered.

Finally, Yang Yang decided to check his comment section to see what was happening.

"Wow, the former number one in the car circle actually jumped on the autonomous taxi bandwagon. What a surprise!"

"Tsk tsk, don't you usually ride in luxury car brands like Porsche and Rolls-Royce? Why the change of taste this time, riding in a domestic taxi?!"

"I'm here to see what kind of divine being this Radish Run is, to make our review king lower himself."

"Sigh, I thought it was something else. It turns out it's just an autonomous taxi jointly launched by Radish Run and Fenglei. It would have been unremarkable, but the chosen deployment location is the hell-difficulty Wu Du, which directly maxed out the topic's popularity."

"Nani, is it that Wu Du, known as the 'navigation killer'? Then this is something to watch!"

"Drivers in Wu Du are notoriously fast, each claiming to be a 'Mount Akina car god.' Can this autonomous taxi be competitive?"

"Are you all commenting without even finishing the video? As a Wu Du local, seeing such a law-abiding taxi, I'm truly touched."

"I wholeheartedly support autonomous taxis entering Wu Du to teach those unethical drivers a lesson."

"To be honest, after watching Radish Run's operation in the video, even I, a ten-year veteran driver, feel ashamed. Times have changed!"
