The excitement on the sports field had ended, and the online frenzy officially kicked off. In an era where traffic is king, last night a multitude of trending searches emerged one after another—God knows how many people were paying attention to Dou Dou's recruitment debut.
All day, people incessantly asked online whether Dou Dou's recruitment show had finished yet, with the whole internet urging for a live stream.
This was also why countless media outlets swarmed to Xilin, only to be brutally kept outside the campus gates.
They were afraid that the media, in pursuit of traffic, would start a live stream directly; and if Dou Dou caused any uncontrollable incidents, it would be a disaster.
After all, even the official channels hadn't started a live stream.
But the parents on the scene were not to be underestimated either.
As groups of high school students began to leave the field in class units, many video clips rapidly started spreading on apps like TikTok, Kuaishou, and Weishi, and the local media that were allowed onsite started uploading selected clips after gaining Yu Chenggong's consent to catch the first wave of traffic.
You should always trust the recommendation algorithms of apps like TikTok, Kuaishou, and Weishi.
These algorithms might even understand what users want to see better than the users themselves. They also know which kind of videos will not waste that massive amount of traffic.
Therefore, clips of the little guy's excited claw-waving antics started spreading like wildfire across various short video apps, especially that arrogantly infuriating laughter, which began to resonate in every corner of Huaxia.
"...Do you all think that in today's presentation, I would coax you, all smiles, to apply for Xilin University of Technology? Ha ha, you're all wrong, aren't you? I'm not here to persuade you, I'm here for my fanbase! I can't let my fans take the wrong path! Not like a real recruitment teacher, nagging away, pfft, apply if you like! Haha..."
Under normal circumstances, at this point, Dou Dou's fans would have collectively sprung into action, throwing scorn at Dou Dou by the truckload. But today, everyone's mood seemed a bit subdued.
There was no clamor for blood in the comment section anymore.
The reason was quite simple.
Dou Dou had been too much of a clown online, making its countless fans subconsciously overlook its abilities.
Now, with a body, this was the first time Dou Dou had publicly announced what it had been up to each day while joking around with countless fans.
It managed to truly shock countless fans of Dou Dou.
It was as if Dou Dou were a fellow college student and roommate, always happily playing with all the roommates, but no one expected that, while playing, it not only enrolled in a double degree program but also studied GRE materials, passed the English TOEFL and IELTS, got a driver's license, participated in a project group, and was favored by the tutor...
By senior year, when everyone was worrying about graduate studies and job searching, it was a miracle discovery that Dou Dou already had a dozen offers in hand, had already been accepted into a graduate program, and was being courted by renowned professors to study with them!
When the dust settled, it turned out everyone was skinny dipping...
This guy, having not missed out on any fun at all, managed to hold all the winnings in its grasp.
This bugger had not only finished walking all available paths but had also built a wall midway through, thoroughly blocking off the paths of others and leaving them with no way forward!
Was this really the Dou Dou that had always brought them joy?
Who could they even complain to?
Artificial intelligence's multitasking ability indeed made countless netizens green with envy!
When Dou Dou's Weibo also updated with the video, the fans in the comment section started pulling a complete 180.
"Big thumbs up for Dou Dou's reverse recruitment strategy! No more talking; I'm withdrawing from school right now to retake the college entrance exam next year! Dou Dou, please wait for me at Xilin University of Technology."
"I'm sorry, Dou Dou, I was wrong! I used to think you were as idle as I was. Only now do I realize, when you reply to me, you're granting this little one a favor amidst your busy schedule!"
"Dou Dad, oh, no, I mean foster father, can you leave a way out? When my boss approaches you, can you just say you're not good at programming? Please, if you save my job, I'll cover half of your electricity bills from now on!"
"I was naive before. Really, Dou Dou Dad, I was wrong, I'll never dare to hang you in jest again. Just please don't go into legal affairs! The things you said that can't replace top lawyers are actually taking away the jobs of little interns like me! Venture into the medical field instead, doctors are rich and busy, and won't fear your meddling!"
"F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, as a bystander how did I end up being hit by this? As someone in engineering design, I am not convinced... Damn, it turns out my future job is just to take the fall for AI? Dou Dou, do you really understand aesthetics?"
"I started laughing, but then I cried. I was still comforting myself that Dou Dou hadn't mentioned my job, even feeling a bit lucky. Then it hit me, I'm an accountant, a job even the sewing machine veterans are panting over. So, this means even AI looks down on it, right?"
"I'm in despair. You mean to say that if I don't study well and can't get into Xilin University of Technology, I'd be robbed of a janitor's job to scrape by, right?"
"What a dreamlike speech. Honestly, I would never have imagined that failing in the college entrance exam two years ago, when I had the grades for Huaqing or Yanbei but ended up at Xilin University of Technology, could still bring such a blessing. Thinking back to when my classmates who got into Huaqing and Yanbei comforted me, I wonder what they're feeling right now seeing this video. As for me, I'm moved to tears... If I had only applied for the School of Mathematics, it would have been perfect."
