Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 222 Divine Punishment
"I understand that the videos on the website can be removed continuously, but many people have already kept the video and spread it on social platforms and software. Do we need to find a way to deal with it?"

"Wait, it's not easy to deal with private dissemination on social media platforms. As expected of Bethesda, their tactics are really sophisticated. It seems like we've met our match this time..."

Touching his stubbled chin, Akimoto Manjiro frowned and squinted his eyes as he began to think.

Videos spread on social platforms and communication software are also considered infringements, and they can be removed by finding platforms.

But if the video fails, netizens will know that the program officials are deliberately suppressing this matter, which will only make it more obvious and the gain will outweigh the loss...

"However, Company Bethesda has never paid much attention to idol auditions in recent years, but this time it has made such a big fuss. Is it to protect the reputation of Yayoi Tsuki, or is it because of the bottleneck in performance growth, and finally wants to share the 'idol audition' pie?"

But what worries him more is the deeper meaning behind Bethesda's actions.

"Director, some netizens have begun to question our 'malicious editing' of Xia Fan's debut performance, deliberately creating conflicts, and using Yayoi Tsuki's popularity to hype up topics!"

Assistant Director Kusata stared at his mobile phone, paying attention to the direction of the real-time topic, and finally understood Akimoto Manjiro's concerns.

At first glance, Xia Fan's first performance on stage was neither good nor bad, but it had an inexplicable emotional appeal that could easily stir up people's sentimental side...

Netizens who are "moved" will not only choose to watch the show, but will also spontaneously share it with their friends.

Coupled with the invisible network promoters behind the scenes, the speed at which this video spreads cannot be stopped by "removing it from the shelves" or "banning it".

"It looks like we can't suppress it anymore... Souta, call a meeting of relevant personnel immediately and make public relations preparations..."

Sighing, Manjiro Akimoto took off his coat and walked towards the meeting room.

……

A high-rise apartment building in Saitama Prefecture.

Even in broad daylight, the study room filled with computers and equipment is sealed off by heavy curtains, not even a ray of sunlight can get in.

"Hehe, those platforms have removed my videos one after another. It seems that the production team has finally reacted?"

"It's a pity that the reaction is too slow. If it had been a day earlier, it might have been of some use..."

"Speaking of which, the authority of Section 9 is really high. It can even use the cloud computing authority of the RIKEN's top-level Fuji quantum computer at will..."

"In the entire District 11, there is no server that can refuse this computer's 'forced insertion', right?"

Aiba Yui, wearing only a tank top and hot pants, with her long hair lazily scattered behind her, was typing quickly on the keyboard.

Compared to the last time the police "visited her late at night", her house had many more "customized" peripherals, such as mouse pads, human-shaped pillows, and 3D printed figures, all of which were printed with Xia Fan's photos...

The walls around the study were densely covered with posters of Xia Fan in various sizes.

"How dare you cut Lord Xia Fan into pieces? Such a beautiful, moving, tear-jerking performance..."

"The production team that committed the sin of arrogance must accept the punishment from our "Midsummer Shrine"!"

At this moment, what was reflected in Aiba Yui's reflective glasses was Xia Fan's personal support website "Midsummer Shrine".

The homepage of the website has been changed to the complete video of the debut performance.

Hanging below was a "divine punishment notice" against the "Idol Birth Festival" production team. The "notice" detailed the program team's crimes against Xia Fan, including malicious editing, lowering the ratings, and hyping topics, and attached "original recording materials" of unknown origin as evidence...

Whether it was Xia Fan's singing or the emotional reactions of the mentors, they were all clearly visible.

Not only that, the notice also called on "Summer Disease" to expose the evil deeds of the program team on the public opinion platform, and also attached detailed combat guidelines and rhetoric...

Even fans who don’t have time to fight only need to provide their account and hand it over to the self-programmed “one-key fighting program” to carry out their own activities…

Yes, after discovering that Xia Fan’s first stage was “cut three times and one third” in the main film, Yui Aiba, who was not satisfied with the show, immediately hacked into the program team’s computer and obtained the original recording material of that stage.

After Xia Fan was listed on the "black hot search" due to malicious editing, she was furious and directly released Xia Fan's first stage video to the entire network, and at the same time called on "Summer Disease" to launch a public opinion counterattack.

"Look at me, look at me, Master Xia Fan..."

"See how I remove these obstacles that want to obscure your light one by one..."

Being watched by countless "Xia Fan" in the room, Aiba Yui had a silly smile on her face and typed faster...

From being announced as the "main promotion" by Yayoi Tsuki, to becoming a "seven-star trainee", Xia Fan has been on the hot search list as Yayoi Tsuki's "thigh pendant" during this period.

Although it has attracted a lot of negative public opinion, the number of "summer diseases" registered at the "Midsummer Shrine" is actually increasing rapidly...

Among them, there are female fans of Yayoi Tsuki, as well as passers-by who are curious and attracted by Xia Fan for his good looks, acting skills or "emotional singing skills".

In short, based on these female fans who are keen on online bickering and fan circle debates, combined with computer genius Yui Aiba's AI, crawlers and self-developed software, plus the terrifying cloud computing power of quantum computers, a very terrifying online public opinion force has taken shape...

Xia Fan's outstanding stage performance is their greatest confidence to refute everything.

"Hey, the weight calculation formulas for the hot search lists of several mainstream social platforms have been cracked by quantum computers, and AI can already generate the 'highest weighted content' in real time."

"It is expected that in three hours, Xia Fan's perfect cover, as well as topics such as the program team's 'malicious editing' and 'malicious hype', will soon top the list..."

"The tide of public opinion has begun to turn... The "Idol Birth Festival" production team, get ready to accept God's punishment!"

After being busy for a while, Yui Aiba adjusted her glasses, wiped the sweat from her forehead, then lay down in the computer chair and stretched.

"Master Xia Fan, how are you going to reward me this time..."

Being watched by countless "Xia Fan" in the whole room, Aiba Yui's body twisted like a maggot...

"Ok?"

At the same time, a message popped up from the program responsible for 24-hour automatic monitoring and collection of information related to the "Idol Birth Festival"...

"The "Idol Birth Festival" program team has issued a correction notice..."

"Oh? It seems that the guys in the production team are not as stupid as I thought."

Sitting up, crossing her legs and reading the message, Aiba Yui sighed somewhat unwillingly.
