I used Hextech Grinding to become a top student

As expected, this big prize wasn't so easy to win.

You might think they're all low-quality works, but in reality, there are countless talented people out there.

The video was filled with countless comments.

"This was done by AI? I'm blown away!"

"Hollywood can shut down now."

"The plot, the visuals, the bear... I'm fucking blown away!"

The author of "The Age of Aphasia" is terrifyingly skilled; this is not a simple accumulation of technology, but art and industry.

Huang Zhong leaned over for a look, his face turning pale: "Brother Mu, this... what's the point of us even competing? With their skill level, how are we supposed to compete?"

Jiang Yueyao frowned as well. Although she didn't understand the technology, her aesthetic sense was definitely there. The quality of this video had exceeded her understanding of AI-generated videos.

Chen Mu checked the author: Didi!

The name sounds like it belongs to a girl, with a cute vibe.

The portfolio is densely packed with various high-quality AI-generated content, including science fiction short films and fantasy animations.

"I feel like this is a team." This is obvious because the videos are very different in style, like different people.

This makes sense. No matter how strong an individual is, their energy is limited. But with a team working together, some are responsible for the script, some for the storyboard, some for training the AI ​​model, and some for post-production editing and compositing, it's not surprising that this quality of work is produced under such an industrialized process.

The stronger the opponent, the more reasonable it is. A million-dollar prize isn't that easy to win.

He turned to his three friends, his eyes burning with determination: "Don't worry, our final product will definitely be better, more spectacular, and more explosive than this!"

"Brother Mu, what do you want to do?" Huang Zhong swallowed hard.

Chen Mu's lips curled up: "Just wait and see. Let's work together. Jiang Yueyao, you just need to provide a computer. The college entrance exam is coming soon, don't let it affect your studies."

"Brother Mu, what about our studies?" Liu Weice asked.

"You've already reached the bottom. My advice is to learn AI from me. Maybe you can find a new path in the future!" Chen Mu said. Although his words were harsh, the two of them obviously couldn't refute them.

"It's true, I've never believed in the idea of ​​turning the college entrance exam around in a hundred days. Even if you do it, it only proves you're a genius. I can't do it, but I don't think my life is over. I can still have my own future. Let's do it!" Huang Zhong suddenly got fired up again.

It was precisely because I watched this amazing video that I saw how powerful my opponent was.

Just like Mount Everest standing right in front of us, how many people would hear our story if we could climb over this mountain?

Even if we can't overcome it, these last few months of high school won't have been a waste.

The group was full of fighting spirit, but Jiang Yueyao was completely confused. She roughly knew what they were going to do, but did they really need to be so enthusiastic? They obviously couldn't win, okay? Did they think they were anime protagonists, shouting a few words about passion and bonds and that they could defeat a terrifying demon king?

The truth is, even if you were to burn yourself into a relic, you still couldn't outrun Usain Bolt.

However, it's hard to say about Chen Mu. After all, he's a bit too mysterious. He suddenly went from being a poor student to a top student. What exactly did he secretly do all these years?

"My college entrance exam score is unlikely to fluctuate much. I've done too little with computers, so please include me. I can also do some work within my capabilities!" Jiang Yueyao said at the end. More than the college entrance exam, she was afraid that Chen Mu would fall too far behind her, the kind of distance she couldn't catch up with.

Chen Mu was also taken aback; another one had been corrupted.

However, he did not refuse, and then took Jiang Yueyao to the boys' dormitory and showed her some of the materials that had been generated.

Seeing the beginning, I was immediately struck by how spectacular and explosive the special effects were.

Then, upon seeing the female lead's deep wound, he looked at her with disdain and said, "Vulgar!"

"Yes, that's exactly what we want – vulgarity. At least in the internet age, vulgarity can make money. Our competitors are too refined; they don't have any vulgarity at all. Our team is small and inferior to them in every aspect, so what we can rely on is vulgarity!" Chen Mu said confidently, leaving Jiang Yueyao speechless.

That makes so much sense; pursuing it further would only make me seem petty.

Jiang Yueyao provided a laptop, but as a rich and beautiful woman, she naturally also had a high-spec desktop computer at home, with all the features maxed out.

Chen Mu began assigning tasks, and a massive project was underway!

With Chen Mu providing the copywriting, the work of everyone else is very simple; they just need to spend more time on it.

Working day and night, everyone had the illusion that they were starting their own business: thinking, working, revising, editing, dubbing...

Huang Zhong and Liu Weice would spend all their time in the back row of class researching information on their phones from morning till night, while Chen Mu didn't need to sleep. He transformed into the King of the Night, working tirelessly and making the night his main battlefield!

Those with money will focus on visual impact, while those without will go for a story-driven approach, like Gambling Apocalypse. The brilliance of such stories can be seen from the art style, with everyone sporting sharp, pointed chins, yet they still become popular, demonstrating the high level of stimulation and psychological impact of the plot.

But if you have the money, you have to make sure that the storyline and visuals are both excellent, and do it to the extreme!

Two weeks later, when Chen Mu finished editing the last video, the entire dormitory breathed a sigh of relief.

Both Huang Zhong and Liu Weice had dark circles under their eyes as they stared in disbelief at the massive project that lasted for twenty minutes.

"This thing, I can actually participate in its production?" Huang Zhong exclaimed in amazement, still unable to believe it.

"I am also honored!" Liu Weice exclaimed in agreement.

"Alright, stop praising us. Maybe we all have a biased view of our own work and are blindly optimistic. In the end, we'll have to wait and see if the audience will accept it after it's uploaded," Chen Mu said.

"Indeed, the competition is too strong. That video has been shared like crazy in the past two weeks and is about to become one of the treasures of Bilibili. We uploaded it so late, and even if it is better than theirs, we may not be able to win. Not to mention, there is no first place in literature, but there is no second place in martial arts. You can't guess what the audience likes. Otherwise, so many big productions wouldn't have flopped," Liu Weice said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm confident I can handle the special effects. I just don't know if the storyline will get the audience excited," Huang Zhong said nervously.

At this point, Chen Mu had already registered an account on Bilibili.

When choosing a username, I asked, "Do you have any good usernames?"

"How about calling it Night Trouble, since it gets annoying at night?" Huang Zhong suggested.

"Why don't you call me Hanli, so I can just sit there..." Liu Weice added.

"Stop, stop! Your names are all tainted with heavy karma; I dare not use them," Chen Mu said. "Aren't there any more normal ones?"

"No, Brother Mu, you decide. My admiration for your talent is like a surging river, endless and unstoppable, like the Yellow River overflowing its banks." Liu Weice deliberately adopted a eunuch's voice to flatter him.

"Alright, then I'll accept without hesitation," Chen Mu said, typing in his game ID.

"Mu Chen!" Chen Mu confirmed with a tap.

Next, you need to upload your work and complete all the necessary steps to meet the competition requirements.

Next up was an account with zero followers, ready to conquer Bilibili.

Hopefully, it's not too late. Others have been popular for months, while I've only just uploaded my video. If I can beat them, I can brag about it for a year!

However, having already paid such a high price, there is no other option but to fight with our backs against the wall.

Video cost: 22,200 yuan; target: 10,000 yuan!
