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

the next day.

It was exactly 12 noon.

At the same time, all live streaming platforms across the internet displayed the same push notification.

The special episode on the value of memory is now available online.

The number of clicks exceeded one million in the first second.

The beginning of the video.

It was Su Bai's gentle, magnetic voice.

"Before answering the question of what value is, I'd like to show you a clip."

The black screen disappeared.

The scene shown is from the animation, the one that brought countless viewers to tears.

After Nina was taken back, the old lady sat alone by the window.

The setting sun shone on her wrinkled hands.

Those hands were carefully caressing a small ring.

It's the one that was put on Nina's finger during the recycling process.

The old lady's expression was calm.

She didn't cry.

But her thumb gently traced the surface of the ring, again and again.

This scene lasted only fifteen seconds.

But the comments section has already started to break down.

[This scene again, I'm about to cry again.]

[Grandma.]

[You old scoundrel Su, what exactly do you want? Can't you put your knife away first?]

The screen went dark again.

When the lights came on again, the scene had changed.

Su Bai sat in a minimalist white space with only a table in front of him.

On the table is a ring that looks exactly like the one in the animation.

He was wearing a plain black shirt, without any extra embellishments.

She looked very relaxed, even with a faint smile on her face.

"Many people ask me why recycling is so important."

He spoke, at a moderate pace.

"Why can't they stay with their owners forever? Mr. Lei Ming of Eternal Technology gave us an answer: achieving eternity through data."

"That's a very good answer."

Su Bai nodded, his expression sincere.

"But unfortunately, he made a mistake."

He reached out, picked up the ring from the table, and held it up to the camera.

The camera gave a close-up shot.

Under the light, the inside of that seemingly ordinary metal ring faintly glowed with a very weak, warm amber light.

"He thought that all the family members would be left with in the animation was a cold piece of metal."

Su Bai looked at the ring, his tone calm.

"But what he didn't know was that this ring's real name was Memory Amber."

Memory Amber.

The moment those four words came out of Su Bai's mouth, all the comments on the live streaming platforms froze for about two seconds.

Then, a flood of questions arose.

[Memory Amber?]

What does this mean? This ring isn't just a recycling tool?

[Holy crap, a hidden feature! It's definitely a hidden feature!]

[You old scoundrel Su, explain yourself!]

Su Bai didn't keep them in suspense.

He put the ring back on the table, crossed his arms, and looked at the camera.

"When each Giftia is reclaimed, her core memory bank will automatically execute a final program."

"This program will sift through all her memory data to find the most precious, happiest moment of her life."

"Then compress, seal, and write this memory into this ring."

"It cannot be copied."

"Unable to upload."

"Cannot be read or retrieved by any external device."

"It will only feel slightly warm in your palm when you hold it."

"That warmth is the last, unique memory she left you."

Su Bai paused for a moment.

"Just like millions of years ago, a drop of resin encased a butterfly, forming amber."

"Time may destroy everything, but that moment captured in amber will never change."

At this moment, the entire internet fell into a profound silence.

In the studio of Healing Animation Company.

Shen Qingyue stared intently at Su Bai's face on the screen, her hand covering her mouth, her eyes already red.

This wasn't the first time she had seen this video.

She was right next to Su Bai last night when he was editing.

But when you actually see these words during a live stream, the impact is completely different from when you see them in private.

Because she could feel that, on the other side of the screen, hundreds of millions of viewers were struck in the heart by the same sentence at the same time.

The video is still playing.

Su Bai's tone remained unchanged, still calm and gentle.

But what he said next made everyone hold their breath.

"Now, I'm presenting you with two choices."

He took two things out from under the table.

In my left hand is a silver portable hard drive.

On her right hand was that small ring.

"On the left is a product from Eternal Technology. It contains all the data about you and her together."

"High-definition, complete, and infinitely reproducible. You can even share it with your friends and let them see what a great companion you once had."

"On the right is this ring. It contains only a single moment."

"Maybe it was when she smiled at you the first time you met. Maybe it was on a rainy day when she held an umbrella for you. You don't even know the exact moment, because it was her choice."

"The data on the hard drive can be stored for ten thousand years."

"The warmth within the ring, every time you hold it, is one less time you can experience it."

Su Bai put down the two items and looked at the camera.

"Permanent data backup gives you everything, which is the same as giving you nothing at all."

"Because when everything can survive, choice loses its meaning."

"And in our animation concept, we only kept that one most brilliant, unique diamond."

His gaze pierced through the lens, through the screen, and looked directly into the eyes of every viewer.

"Now, please tell me."

Which one would you choose?

A silence that lasted ten seconds.

The comment sections on all live streaming platforms seemed to have been paused.

No one speaks.

No one is typing.

Only that one question hangs in everyone's mind.

then.

The barrage of comments surged up with an almost terrifying density.

There was only one answer, unanimously.

【ring.】

I choose a ring!

[Who the hell wants the hard drive?! I want the moment she made her final choice!]

I cried. I chose the ring, I would choose the ring a thousand times.

The color of the bullet comments changed from white to rainbow colors. All the paid bullet comments and gift effects from all platforms exploded at this moment, turning the entire screen into a dazzling ocean of light and color.

at the same time.

On major social media platforms, a new hashtag has exploded to the top of the trending topics list.

#Would you choose a hard drive or an amber hard drive?#

Under this topic, countless people began to share the moment in their lives that they most wanted to preserve in amber.

Some say it was the last time Grandma touched her head.

Some say it's the moment your first love turns around and smiles on the playground.

Some say it's the first cry a child makes upon birth.

Below each share are thousands upon thousands of likes and tears.

Next to these heartwarming stories, Eternal Technology's carefully crafted smear articles and online troll rhetoric appear utterly pale and laughable.

No one paid any more attention to Lei Ming and his theory of safety hazards.

Because Su Bai used a single question to escalate the debate from the low-level issue of safety to the ultimate question of the value of life.

In the face of this dimension, all of Lei Ming's business rhetoric and public relations tactics are not even qualified to be used.

Eternal Technology Headquarters.

Lei Ming stared at the precipitous drop in the stock price curve on the screen, his face ashen.

In the conference room, the executives who were raising their glasses in celebration last night now had their heads down and didn't dare to breathe.

"waste."

He smashed the wine glass in his hand on the ground.

"A bunch of useless trash."

No one dared to speak.

Healing Animation Company.

Su Bai turned off the live stream replay, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes.

Shen Qingyue stood behind him, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes; her voice was still a little hoarse.

"You won?"

"We won."

Su Bai opened his eyes, his tone indifferent.

"We no longer need to respond to any further questions, because we have redefined the battlefield of this debate. Thunder's data is always a joke."

He paused, then looked out the window.

"Now, it's time for Si and Ella to create their own memory amber."

Shen Qingyue nodded, but then noticed that Su Bai's expression had changed.

The ease that comes with winning a battle has vanished.

Instead, something deeper has taken its place.

"What's wrong?"

Su Bai did not turn around.

"The real-world enemy has been defeated. But the enemy in the animation, time, is only just beginning to bare its fangs."
