Super God-Level Top Student

"So, what channels can we use to watch this live stream?"

"Oh, that's too easy. All the major live streaming platforms will broadcast it online. Of course, if you're not used to using the internet, you can turn on your TV to the central media tech channel for a simultaneous broadcast. Oh, and I'm just about to take a high-speed train to Shencheng now, at 10:10 AM. It's my first time taking the high-speed train, and I'll be live streaming the entire journey.

Plus, Youwei Group has booked an entire business class car for us. For those who haven't seen what business class looks like, I can show you just how comfortable the business class on a high-speed train can be."'

The world has finally become as Ms. Su wished, where robots can perform stand-up comedy in videos.

Although limited by time to just a few minutes, these short videos are precisely the ones that get the most views. Coupled with Dou Dou's enormous fan base, the news of Youwei's new product launch meeting being held the next day started sweeping across the entire planet like a storm.

Yes, not just in Huaxia.

Ever since Xilin City implemented the Smart City initiative, videos of various robots wandering the streets have been constantly uploaded to international short video platforms like Facebook and TikTok, and they've garnered substantial views, often exceeding a million. The most popular clip has even surpassed a billion views.

So many people have profited from video uploads, so naturally, they're keen to do it frequently.

Especially this time, as Dou Dou officially appears on screen, unlike other videos where people or cameras capture it from a third-person perspective.

Even scarier is that this short video is itself a major news event.

Dou Dou can now not only serve as an advisor for the Qiao Class but has even become a master's guide at Xilin University of Technology.

It's known that being a master's guide at a university is like winning the lottery, a once-in-a-lifetime honor that requires achievements and research topics. After all, enrolling students means access to nearly free high-quality labor.

Is artificial intelligence really breaking into this high-end field now?

Who said AI could only replace low-end labor? That it could only work in factories tightening screws, replacing taxi and ride-hailing drivers? Now even high-end roles like master's guide and doctoral guide can be replaced. The impact is enormous.

Based on Xilin's experience, although taxi drivers were replaced, many new jobs have also emerged in Xilin. For example, safety maintenance jobs, primarily responsible for the safe operation of autonomous vehicles in Xilin's urban area.

This includes the daily cleaning, organizing, maintenance, road rescue, and handling of malfunctioning cars for public autonomous vehicles in the urban area.

Robots have replaced street sweeping jobs, but the original sanitation workers weren't directly laid off; instead, they were reassigned to support automation robots. The only difference is that the heavy work is done by machines, while humans handle the easier tasks.

There are simply higher standards for street cleanliness and better experiences for citizens.

In today's Xilin, you can pretty much sit anywhere, as the roads are devoid of randomly discarded garbage.

In summary, many traditional jobs disappeared, but a bunch of new positions have appeared in Xilin.

For example, there's a huge demand for machine maintenance and repair professionals, daily robotic operations and monitoring, data analysts, customer support specialists, logistics coordinators...

Training companies have already foreseen the opportunities and started new training services, focusing on the various job types most needed for Xilin City's intelligent upgrade. They're looking for instructors nationwide and conducting training sessions, all while business is booming.

Considering Xilin's experience may be promoted to other cities nationwide in the future, training for various new positions can naturally move into other intelligent transformation markets. It's truly a good business.

In short, Dou Dou's interview video went viral, leading to Youwei Group's product launch event going viral as well, and Xilin City also caught fire once again.

The invited master's guide Dou Dou took the high-speed train to Shencheng, with Penguin securing exclusive live streaming rights on Weishi.

Even though Penguin Group fully expected the number of viewers for this live stream to likely break records, and prepared everything for an explosive event, the video still lagged three times after going live.

None expected, after starting the live stream, that the number of people flocking into the live room would instantaneously surpass a hundred million, with the popularity peak reaching 1.8 billion only five minutes into the broadcast. Once Dou Dou boarded the reserved business class, it led to an eruption of laughter among all the Dou fans...

This time, Youwei had only four seats in the business class, all occupied by the accompanying staff heading to Shencheng with Dou Dou, while Dou Dou itself was busy, assisting the business class staff in providing various services to the accompanying personnel, tirelessly rolling around in the aisle.

It even often muttered to itself.

"Oh my, isn't this air conditioning too strong? Do you guys need blankets? I can ask that pretty lady for you. She just told me she has everything you need! You're all gods today!"

This seemingly awkward yet not awkward scene once again created a wave of onlookers.

Various comments filled the screen directly.

"Family, who gets it? Anyone not knowing would've thought today's main characters were those seated elders. Who would've thought that the one lounging is actually working for the busy one in the middle!"

"I said jobs serving robots are great! Dou Dou, do you still need accompanying personnel? Seriously, cheaper rates, I'll work out of pocket."

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. No wonder Dou Dou kneels at once without hesitation. Who's serving whom here after all?"

"Never thought you were this kind of Dou Dou, fighting online and meek in reality, right?"

"How much does this thing cost anyway? I want to keep a master's guide at home for fun..."

...

The effect was such that originally many big shots were busy with various affairs and only intended to send an assistant to welcome the robot, mainly out of respect for Youwei. Find the translation on MV&LEMPYR.

But after seeing the results of the Weishi live stream, the big shots in Shencheng, who initially had other commitments, postponed their affairs and decided to personally go to the high-speed train station to welcome Dou Dou.

They had no choice; #DouDouTakesTheHighSpeedTrain# was not only consistently trending on major media, but the live stream's various statistics were constantly setting new records since online live streaming became a thing.

One hour into the live stream, various statistics showed that the peak popularity reached 3.72 billion, with an average of 2.31 billion online viewers per minute. A total of 5.26 billion people had logged into the live stream room, and netizens contributed a total of 8,756 comments within the first hour, with an average user stay of 17 minutes...

In other words, at least a third of Huaxia's population had specifically come to watch Dou Dou's performance in the live stream room. This level of influence was absolutely beyond what anyone anticipated before the broadcast, even Penguin didn't expect it.

It's a pity Dou Dou refused to do marketing during the live stream.

With these numbers, if Dou Dou were willing to market products, countless merchants would break their necks trying to secure a spot in the live stream room. Whether it's cost-effective or not, even just to advertise is too worthwhile.

Who wouldn't be baffled by these numbers?

For many big shots in Shencheng, if they still couldn't recognize the giant benefits behind this traffic, they would naturally be unqualified.

Although the big shots actually don't need this level of exposure, they can utilize this exposure to promote Shencheng as a city! Announce some enticing policies for attracting tourism and high-level talent, letting more people know through this opportunity.

For instance, they can take this chance to announce that Shencheng has submitted an application to be included in the second batch of Smart City pilot constructions, hoping to become the most intelligent city after Xilin.

No choice, everyone faces fierce competition these days! In the post-real estate era, raising development funds and revitalizing the economy indeed require possessing real skills.

The GDP ranking of Xilin in 2023 was still eleventh, trailing Nandu, but its newly built materials base started to show its force. Combined with the Smart City construction, in the GDP statistics for the first half of this year, it has already ranked third, only slightly behind the Capital and Linhai, surpassing Shencheng, Hong Kong Island, Daguang...

It's said that the GDP continues to increase in the second half, perhaps even pulling Linhai down in the annual statistics. The economic growth rate even reached a terrifying double-digit figure! The primary leaders could almost boast a breeze in their trips to report in the Capital!

Who wouldn't feel pressured?

Not to mention that Xilin is close to being crowned as the world's technology center; surely, it can't also seize the title of economic center? Xilin's geographical location is too forced! How would those coastal cities cope?
