"Damn! Dou Dou, did you really sell activation codes? And one-time-use activation codes at that?! You're really inhuman!"
"First, I never admitted to selling activation codes; second, even those who aren't my fans know I'm not human. Strange, what made you guys think I could possibly be human? (helplessly spreads hands)"
When these conversations were screenshotted and shared in the group chat, the fans who knew Dou Dou's style exploded once again.
The entire event had developed beyond everyone's understanding.
The so-called material science model from the opposition was actually stolen from their own home? Not only did they steal it, but they also claimed it was their home that did the stealing? Even that would have been fine since if you don't claim your propaganda space, you're just handing it over to others, but to publish something obtained through unclear means without verification?!
And to make such a joke at such a significant occasion?!
All of that be damned, they actually went and bought an activation code, and a one-time-use one at that?!
It just goes to show that reality has become so fantastical that not even novels would dare to write it this way.
People couldn't tell if this was magical realism or just 'magical reality' anymore.
But once the enthusiasm of countless fan groups was mobilized, the video started being shared everywhere.
Dou Dou didn't even need to use his account for publicity; the fans began to promote it spontaneously.
After all, such a hilarious event was absolutely once in a lifetime.
People always liked to talk about 'once-in-a-century great changes,' but for it to change this much was beyond many people's expectations.
Suddenly, Weibo, various forums, and Moments were hit hard.
All sorts of sarcastic and mocking comments began flooding the screens.
You should never underestimate the creative power of netizens.
"Mei, you've changed; you used to be different. What's the matter? Ran out of laundry detergent at home?"
"It's just like you, Amelica, to divide the global market so meticulously. I'm truly surprised. You entrust me, Huaxia, with the task of computing the activation code for the material model you developed yourself. That's big-hearted. Let's give a thumbs-up for the boundless love of Amelica today!"
"High-end tech: RMOM! Low-end tech: activation code! Authentication complete! Today, we're all Amelicans!"
"Dou Dou: Brothers, I'm going to feast again today! (smug face)"
The internet was a complete mess.
Some mocked and made fun, while others questioned the authenticity of the video.
After all, you can't just take whatever Dou Dou says at face value.
Humans lie every day, let alone artificial intelligence.
Not to mention, when the video was first shared in Dou Dou's fan group, even many of Dou Dou's hardcore fans thought it was fake.
The reason was simple and almost impossible to argue.
If such a thing had indeed happened, how could it possibly be released on the internet?
And though they said it came from the foreign net, no one could find it on Facebook after searching.
But when someone shared legitimate news broadcasted by CNN from the foreign net, many went silent.
The entire news piece was only 35 seconds long.
It simply reported that the material model presentation held in the White House was a great success.
It also included some footage from the event, which had many similarities with the video circulating on Huaxia's internet.
But all that wasn't the point.
The point was that such an important and uplifting news, even hailed as a stock market confidence booster, was only deemed worthy of 35 seconds?
They only mentioned that it had been successfully operated on-site and that the results of the material simulation calculation had been fully reproduced.
Moreover, with so many big shots present in the video, not a single one was invited to comment on the event. The good Samaritans even went through the trouble of looking up the social media accounts of all those celebrity guests present.
Even Ma, who loves speaking out the most, maintained silence and didn't comment on what happened tonight.
He only left a cryptic message on Twitter: "Today, I just want to go to bed early."
