Entertainment: You're asked to make a healing animation, but it will make the whole internet de

Healing Animation Company.

Shen Qingyue practically stormed into Su Bai's office.

She was holding a tablet in her hand, the screen filled with glaring red headlines and negative keywords.

"Su Bai! Look at this!"

She slammed her tablet on the table and scrolled through one trending topic after another.

#AI outage nearly led to tragedy#

#Is your robot partner safe?#

#Everlasting Technology CEO Lei Ming Speaks Out Late at Night#

Under each post, there was an overwhelming barrage of insults and doubts.

"Eternal Technology has mobilized its entire online army and marketing accounts; the article 'When Your Robot Partner Becomes Your Biggest Safety Hazard' has been forwarded 800,000 times!"

Shen Qingyue's voice was trembling.

It's not fear.

It's anger.

"They extracted the footage of Ella's system crash and made a nine-square grid comparison image, placing it alongside the horrific scene of Si being hit and thrown into the air."

The headline reads, "This is what they call a robot with warmth; it turns into a time bomb in a critical moment."

"The comments section below is full of people trying to stir up trouble."

She got angrier and angrier as she spoke, and her voice cracked.

"What's most outrageous is that they even included the scene where Ella later easily defeats the Wanderer, accompanied by the caption 'violent tendencies after losing control,' which is terrifying to think about!"

"It was clearly a protection unit! It was clearly a battle! They've twisted it into an act of aggression!"

Su Bai leaned back in his chair and didn't say anything.

He took the tablet and scrolled through the smear articles and negative comments one by one.

His expression was unusually calm.

Shen Qingyue stared at him, her anger burning even more fiercely.

"Why aren't you reacting at all? Our fans are out there arguing with online trolls, suffocating under their online traffic! And you, are you just sitting here drinking tea?"

Su Bai put down the tablet, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip.

"Have you finished reading?"

"I've finished watching it! I'm so angry!"

"Then let me ask you a question."

Su Bai raised his eyes and looked at her.

"Why did Lei Ming choose this particular moment to attack an animated character with such force?"

Shen Qingyue was stunned for a moment.

Su Bai pushed the tablet back and tapped his finger on the stock price curve of Yongheng Technology.

"Look at this chart. Everlasting Technology's stock price started to fall in after-hours trading after the clip of Ella instantly defeating the Prowler leaked."

"Investors aren't stupid. They see the immense power a robot with emotions could unleash, which directly undermines the core selling point of digital immortality products."

"Therefore, Thunder must nail Ella to the pillory of shame for dangerous goods before we speak out."

Su Bai put down his teacup.

"What they're afraid of isn't Ella crashing."

"What they fear is that Ella will eventually stand up again."

Shen Qingyue opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything for a moment.

Su Bai continued.

"The enemy's madness proves precisely that we are on the right path."

"If Ella's story posed no threat to them, would they bother mobilizing their entire PR department in the middle of the night to attack an animated film?"

She understands the truth.

But understanding is one thing, anger is another.

"So we're just going to watch him throw dirty water on us? Do nothing?"

Shen Qingyue clenched her fists.

Su Bai looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Who said we're not going to do anything?"

"I'm just waiting."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait until he flies a little higher."

Su Bai stood up, his eyes filled with confidence.

"It will make a louder noise when it falls."

at the same time.

Everlasting Technology Headquarters, Top Floor Conference Room.

Lei Ming sat at the head of the long table, with real-time online public opinion data scrolling across the huge screen in front of him.

All the curves were moving in the direction he expected.

The spread of negative keywords has exceeded the preset value by more than three times.

The brand favorability of healing animation is declining at a visible rate.

Meanwhile, inquiries about Everlasting Technology's digital immortality services have quadrupled in the past six hours.

Spreading rumors is indeed the best sales channel.

Lei Ming raised his glass and smiled smugly at the room full of executives and the public relations team.

Cheers, everyone!

He stood up and his gaze swept over everyone.

"An outdated, uncertain form of humanistic concern is worthless in the face of an absolutely safe, never-betraying technological product."

"The times will ultimately choose us."

There was thunderous applause.

The internal video of this speech was accidentally leaked online two hours later.

Lei Ming's arrogant attitude instantly ignited the entire internet.

Su Bai's fans are furious.

Passersby were also angered.

Countless people spontaneously organized themselves and stormed into the comment sections of Yongheng Technology's official Weibo account and various marketing accounts, engaging in a protracted war of words with the online trolls.

But the problem is...

You can't win an argument.

Online trolls are organized, have scripted rhetoric, and are budgeted.

The fans had nothing but passion and no weapons.

They frantically shared GIFs of Ella defeating the Wanderer in the comments section, along with captions like "You call yourself a safety hazard?", but were quickly overwhelmed by a flood of negative content.

In the online arena, the ground for healing animations is gradually being lost.

Holy crap! These people are disgusting! They're distorting the facts like this!

[That scoundrel Lei Ming has no shame whatsoever when it comes to selling his electronic urns!]

[You old scoundrel Su, say something! We can't hold on much longer!]

Where's the official Weibo account? Where's the PR team? Are they all dead?!

If we don't fight back, my wife Ella will be completely smeared by them!

At the healing animation company.

Shen Qingyue was so anxious that she stomped her feet as she looked at the barrage of comments and private messages asking for help.

"Su Bai!"

"I know."

Su Bai's gaze remained calm.

He gave the team an order.

"Don't delete comments. Don't control the comments. Let this fire burn even brighter."

Everyone looked at him, their faces full of confusion.

"The audience's anger is the strongest fuel for our counterattack. The time isn't right yet."

He glanced at the time.

It's 11 p.m.

"That's about it."

Su Bai picked up his phone and opened the official Weibo account of the healing animation.

He did not write a long article.

No statement was issued.

No accusation was refuted.

He only posted one picture and one sentence.

The image is completely black.

There was only one ring in the center, emitting a soft glow.

That's the recycling ring used in the anime when recycling Giftia.

The accompanying text consisted of only one line.

"Tomorrow at 12 noon, a special episode, 'The Value of Memories.'"

"Would you choose the complete hard drive, or a unique piece of amber?"

The moment this Weibo post was published.

The entire internet went silent.

The shouting match stopped.

The online trolls have stopped.

Everyone stared at the pitch-black poster and that inexplicable sentence.

Hard drive? Amber?

Is there any other use for this ring?

What does this mean? What kind of riddle is that old scoundrel Su playing at once?

Wait, is he going to reveal some hidden detail?

[I don't care what the content is! Tomorrow at noon, I must see that old scoundrel Su rubbing Lei Ming's face into the ground!]

Is this a preview of the final battle? It's getting exciting!

Within just ten minutes, the number of reposts on this Weibo post exceeded 500,000.

The number of people who made reservations to watch the show in the background began to soar exponentially.

Everyone's curiosity and anticipation were instantly aroused to their peak by this unexpected and unsubstantiated announcement.

Su Bai put down his phone and leaned back in his chair.

Shen Qingyue stood behind him, staring wide-eyed at the rapidly rising reservation curve on the backstage screen.

"You've been waiting for this opportunity from the very beginning?"

"It's not about waiting."

Su Bai closed his eyes.

"It's manufacturing."

"Thunder's weapon is rumors; he uses safety hazards to sell fear. Our weapon, however, is value."

"I want to use this special episode to tell everyone that a unique memory with an end is more valuable than countless eternal memories that can be infinitely replicated."

Shen Qingyue fell silent.

Looking at Su Bai's profile, she truly realized for the first time how terrifying this man was.

He did not choose to retaliate after being passively attacked.

From beginning to end, he was waiting for Lei Ming to jump to the highest point.

Wait until he jumps to a height where everyone can see him.

Then, he personally removed the platform from under his feet.

"Tomorrow, it won't just be a reversal of public opinion."

Su Bai opened his eyes and looked at the edited video file on the table.

"This is also the first time that the core theme of plastic memory has been explicitly stated."

"I will simultaneously crush Lei Ming, both within and outside the animation."

In the office late at night, the cold light from the computer screen reflected on his face.

The thumbnail of that video file showed a ring that shone with a warm glow in the dark.

It will be less than thirteen hours before it is seen by the whole world.
