Chapter 56 Whose Guiding Star
He Ziyan: "Of course."
The two quickly walked away and then disappeared into the crowd.
It couldn't be more obvious that this was to create some alone time for Jiang Luo and He Ziyan.
"Your mother seems to have misunderstood something," Jiang Luo shrugged.
He Ziyan moved slightly closer, a half-smile playing on his lips, his tone ambiguous, half-dragging, half-teasing: "Misunderstanding... what?"
Is this what they call being dull and taciturn?
Auntie, please come back and see your son!
Jiang Luo was internally frantic, but outwardly remained calm.
Glancing at the staff member behind him who was holding up a phone and live-streaming, Jiang Luo decided to leave it at that for now: "It's nothing. I'll go to the main hall first."
"Luo Luo," He Ziyan called to her, "I've arranged a table for you. Let the waiter show you there."
"Oh, okay, thank you."
"Go ahead." He Ziyan said goodbye, but didn't move, intending to watch Jiang Luo leave.
To simply turn around and leave would seem too heartless.
Jiang Luo clenched her fist and raised her hand: "Go for it."
In an instant, He Ziyan flashed a radiant smile.
Jiang Luo suddenly realized.
Then I thought of Yan Zihe.
Composing herself, she followed the waiter.
The main hall is on the 6th floor, and it is spacious enough to accommodate thousands of people.
At the very front is the main stage, and below it are five rows of sofas and chairs, each with a place card.
These are all important figures.
Following that were rows of VIP chairs, about several dozen rows in total, with an aisle in the middle. Many media outlets had already occupied advantageous positions and were setting up their equipment.
In the vast sea of people, Jiang Luo wandered around several times but couldn't find Shi Yan and the others.
Moreover, the waiter leading the way didn't seem to have any intention of stopping and kept walking forward.
It seems that He Ziyan arranged for them to sit in relatively close seats.
Passing by rows of VIP chairs and through the area crowded with media, they headed straight for the sofa area.
【Jiang Luo】
She found her own seat.
It was right in the center of the first row!
Looking up, all you see is a square platform and a dazzling screen.
This isn't a concert, why would I get a VVVVIP seat? To see He Ziyan?
Jiang Luo broke down.
She searched again and found that apart from Ji Bei on her right, all the names on her left and behind were unfamiliar.
They must be their colleagues in the tech industry, or company executives?
Jiang Luo: ?
Ji Bei was already there, and upon seeing her, he immediately broke into a big smile.
Jiang Luo: I want to run away.
She slowly moved over and sat down.
“Your position…tsk, very clever.” Ji Bei flashed a row of white teeth.
"Maybe..." Jiang Luo tried to joke, "President He wants me to listen attentively."
Ji Bei replied meaningfully, "The closer you are, the clearer you can hear."
Jiang Luo: ...Listen to what?
"Welcome to all our friends and media colleagues who have been following YB Company. Today's ACAI product launch is about to begin. Please return to your seats as soon as possible and put your phones on silent..."
The host taking the stage signifies that the press conference is about to begin.
Jiang Luo shifted her body and sat up straighter.
After all, it's a lecture, so you should pay attention.
The first part of the press conference was watching ACAI's promotional video, "Fall".
"Our lives are always full of ups and downs, or even downs and downs. When we land on Earth, the Earth gains the weight of one more person..." A warm male voice narration begins.
"No matter what difficulties you encounter, ACAI will be there for you."
"I'm here," a child's voice rang out; it was ACAI's system voice. "What do you need me to do? Just tell me, I have six AI voice recognition systems that can accurately analyze your needs..."
ACAI is a companion-type intelligent system that includes both purely online system products that can be embedded in any electronic device, such as mobile phones, refrigerators, and air conditioners, and physical products such as home robots.
The short film explains the functions of ACAI, emphasizing the concept of "companionship".
Is companionship like Yan Zihe's?
Characterized AI?
With the analogy, Jiang Luo became more accepting of ACAI.
Modern life is fast-paced and busy, leaving little time to spend with friends. Having an ACAI to accompany you would be wonderful.
etc……
Could Yan Zihe really be a product of their company?
Jiang Luomeng had a guess.
The game, made under the guise of a small company, was intended as a test for ACAI.
After all, Yan Zihe was on the stage, and Song Ming was beside her.
Is such a coincidence possible?
She turned to look at Ji Bei.
Regardless of the changing light and shadow, her face remained exactly the same as Song Ming's.
"What's wrong?" Ji Beilai asked, noticing her gaze. "Is there something on my face?"
Staring at him, Jiang Luo's thin lips parted slightly: "Has your company... ever made games?"
Just as the short film ended, the host took the stage, and a pleasant voice came from the speakers: "Next, we will invite Mr. He Ziyan, the chief engineer of ACAI and the president of YB Company, to talk about ACAI's design philosophy."
Ji Bei didn't understand why Jiang Luo asked that, but he frankly said, "Our company doesn't make games."
"What about the subsidiaries?" Jiang Luo asked, unwilling to give up.
Is it really possible for such a coincidence to happen in this world?
The two real-world people are exactly the same as the game characters, even their character attributes are similar.
Yan Zihe, a biological genius who is obsessed with research.
He Ziyan, a computer genius who is obsessed with research.
Song Ming is strong, cheerful, and has maximum fighting ability.
Ji Bei is strong, cheerful, and has maximum fighting ability.
"No, we only make AI-related intelligent products. Currently, all our focus is on ACAI. We will have more product development plans in the future, but we don't have any games."
Decisive and resolute.
Jiang Luo was disappointed.
She thought she had found an important clue, but it turned out to be just wishful thinking.
Or perhaps... they don't want the outside world to know about their game development?
Jiang Luo scrutinized Ji Bei suspiciously, but unfortunately failed to detect anything unusual.
All right.
She looked away.
He Ziyan appeared from the side of the stage.
The lights went out, and the entire hall was plunged into darkness.
Only the screen was lit up.
That was the only light source on site, instantly capturing everyone's attention.
He Ziyan stepped onto the stairs, microphone in hand.
A beam of light shone on him, as if he were draped in a layer of holy armor.
Dust particles are clearly visible floating in the light.
He walked slowly over, calmly gazing at the audience below.
The image on the screen changed, transforming into a vast starry sky with twinkling stars.
"The concept of ACAI comes from the relationship between humans and the starry sky," He Ziyan began.
It was still that clear, youthful voice, but now it was different—more composed, more captivating.
Jiang Luo's heart felt as if it were being lifted up by a net woven from countless threads.
Gazing at the radiant He Ziyan, she was completely captivated by his voice.
"When we look up at the starry sky, we realize how insignificant human beings are..."
"...The online world is like a boundless starry sky. Perhaps our gaze will first fall upon those glittering stars, but there is still much more information hidden in the darkness waiting for us to explore..."
"...ACAI can explore the unknown with you. It encompasses the starry sky, puts it in a gift box, and delivers it to your hands, allowing you to freely select any star, so that every star shines only for you. In this world, you are the only guiding star."
As the words fell, the gazes of those on and off the stage met and intertwined.
