I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 161 The Genius Girl Who Created a God and Then Was Pulled Down from the Altar

"etc."

Just as the car turned around, Lao Zhang followed the headlights and saw the scene in the distance.

The scene flashed by, but he was sure he was not mistaken.

"What's wrong, Brother Zhang? Are you going to the bathroom?"

Hearing the sound, Xiao Li, who was driving, laughed and joked.

However, Lao Zhang did not respond.

"Stop the car, let's go take a look ahead."

"Lao Zhang, did you find anything?"

The other middle-aged man heard the difference in the words.

Old Zhang was the first to open the car door and walked out.

He threw down his cigarette butt and crushed it with his foot.

Only after the two people in the front row got out of the car did he nod solemnly.

"I don't know, something seems to be wrong in that place up ahead."

Seeing this, Xiao Li's Adam's apple rolled and he spoke with difficulty.

"Brother Zhang, please don't scare me in the middle of nowhere at night. I'm not even married yet!"

Anyone who hears this in a place like this will have some bad associations.

"How about we come back tomorrow during the day when the Yang energy is stronger."

"What nonsense! The terrain ahead is a bit strange."

"Besides, we are three grown men, why should we be afraid of those things?"

"Get everything and follow me."

Old Zhang shook his head. Young people nowadays are still afraid of these things, not knowing that talented people are the most terrifying.

"Oh, well, why didn't you tell me earlier? You scared me!"

When he heard that it was just the terrain that was the problem, he immediately perked up.

Five minutes later, several people, led by Lao Zhang, arrived at the place he saw in the car lights.

"What the hell, what happened to this place? Was it bombed?"

The three of them shone their flashlights around and finally understood why the terrain was strange.

There were two small hills nearby, but where they were standing in the middle there was a large area missing. Only a few scattered spots could show that the terrain here was originally the same.

However, they were now surrounded by stones of various sizes.

The scene looked very much like a bomb explosion.

This place was only two or three hundred meters away from them, and it was actually very easy to find it during the day.

"It looks like this is almost certain."

Another person nodded, and he also agreed that this should not be the case if it is excavated by humans.

But Lao Zhang frowned and said nothing.

He always felt that something was wrong.

While the two were still discussing who would blow up the mountain here, Lao Zhang had already picked up a flashlight and started searching on the ground, his nose twitching from time to time.

After a moment, he suddenly interrupted.

“No smell of gunpowder!”

"what?"

The two of them didn't react at first.

"There's no smell of gunpowder here. If it were explosives, they wouldn't have been blown up in the past two days."

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Lao Zhang lit another cigarette and took a deep breath, as if this was the only way to calm himself down.

After a moment, he continued:

"Have you forgotten what those two villagers said?"

"Since it wasn't blown up today, where did the loud noise they heard come from?"

Xiao Zhang was shocked and started to get nervous again after hearing this.

"Could it be the sound from somewhere else nearby?"

"It's hard to say. According to what the two men said, the noise they heard came from this direction. Unless there are other mountains nearby that have also been bombed, it's most likely here."

At this time, the middle-aged man raised his own questions.

"Is it possible that the villager lied?"

"I don't know. This needs to be investigated, but I think it's unlikely."

Lao Zhang shook his head and pointed to the place he had just checked.

"Look at the ground again. There are footprints, and they are very dense. This means someone has been here recently."

The two men followed the flashlight and saw the scene on the ground.

Just as Lao Zhang said, there were dense footprints nearby, and some of them were even very deep.

But the problem is, the ground is all stone, how can human footprints be so deep?
For a moment, the two felt the chill running from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

"Brother Zhang, are you kidding me? Is this a footprint that a human could have made?"

Xiao Li swallowed and forced a smile.

In fact, he knew in his heart that these were human footprints, and he said this just to get a reasonable explanation.

"There is a possibility that after the volcanic lava erupted, the ground was covered with a layer of volcanic ash, and then stepping on it would leave footprints."

Without waiting for Lao Zhang to answer, the middle-aged man took the lead in suggesting a possibility.

"???"

Are you lying to a fool?
There is not even a volcano here, so where does the volcanic ash come from?

"Well, you're too nervous, so let's liven up the atmosphere!"

Lao Zhang himself actually didn't quite believe that they were human footprints.

But the marks on the ground, even including footprints, made it hard for him not to believe it.

If there were only one or a few places, he would still think that they were made by humans using tools.

But there are so many marks on the ground. Who would be so bored as to create such a thing in a place like this?

Could it be that there are some wild creatures around here that have never been seen before?

And the power of this savage might be extremely great?
Are you kidding me? Are you thinking of filming Avatar?

Not to mention that this place is not a very remote place. It is only 30 kilometers away from Shuwang City. If such a creature existed, it should have been discovered long ago.

"Go back first and come back tomorrow to investigate carefully."

After ruling out this absurd idea, Lao Zhang's intuition was most likely man-made.

With the development of technology nowadays, smokeless gunpowder is not impossible. This kind of ground can be achieved with a lot of effort. Maybe it is done intentionally to confuse others.

In this case, the matter here cannot be small.

"Okay, okay, let's go!"

Xiao Li didn't want to stay in this damn place any longer.

So the three of them left the place at a very fast speed.

……

The next morning, Xia Yuan completed his training again in a new place.

He had already left there last night before the three of them got out of the car to check.

However, he had no idea what happened next, and he never expected that the three of them were planning to conduct a thorough investigation of the area.

However, this matter has nothing to do with him anymore.

No matter how hard they investigated, they couldn't find out about him.

Not long after, Xia Yuan appeared in a breakfast shop near Shuwangcheng Railway Station, wearing new clothes.

As for why I came here, it was because I received a call from Fu Hongkang half an hour ago, saying that I would arrive at Shuwangcheng Station in an hour.

It just so happened that he had nothing to do, so he simply went straight to the station.

After breakfast, with the train still a while away, Xia Yuan decided to check his phone to kill time. As soon as he opened the short video app, he saw Qingyue's video on the front page, its title and cover prominently displayed.

The number of views reached an astonishing three million.

You have to know that when I checked it yesterday afternoon, it was less than one million. In less than 24 hours, it actually tripled or quadrupled.

This speed is simply exaggerated!
Not only has it been played, but it has also received over one million likes and over half a million comments.

The number of fans has officially exceeded one million.

It’s hard to imagine that just one video made Qingyue go from a blogger with only a few hundred followers to a blogger with millions of followers.

It has to be said that in this era of traffic, the story of becoming a god overnight is no longer a fantasy.

Xia Yuan had often seen an unknown person suddenly become popular on the Internet.

There are countless examples of this.

Qingyue is not the first, and will definitely not be the last.

But most of those people suddenly disappeared in a short period of time.

It’s common for people to become extremely popular, but it’s rare for them to stay at the top for a long time.

After a period of popularity, even the reputation of many of them will plummet.

From being praised and admired by everyone to falling from the altar, the speed is astonishingly fast.

In this era, people on the Internet are particularly keen on creating gods.

I still remember that last year, Xia Yuan saw a rural girl who had never attended college, but eventually won one of the top places in a worldwide physics competition.

Once this incident was reported, it caused a huge sensation.

You should know that those who can make it to the list of this physics competition are all top students from top universities around the world.

Not to mention the people from Kyushu who can make it into the top 100.

At least they are the two top universities in Kyushu, Kyoto University and Chuzhou University.

At this feast that brings together the world's top talents, there actually appeared an unknown person who had not even attended college.

Yes, her school was terrible.

It's so bad that nowadays most people don't even need to work hard to pass the exam.

It was under such circumstances that she defeated countless geniuses from all over the world and won the top places in one fell swoop.

It is conceivable that when people on the Internet learned about this incident, it caused a huge sensation.

Countless people took her as a role model, and the media publicized her extensively.

In just a few days, everyone in the streets and alleys knew her name and her deeds.

In this way, the girl was instantly elevated from an unknown person to a deity.

At this time, she was the most popular person.

As long as there are some dissenting voices on the Internet, they will be criticized by countless people.

All kinds of attacks such as jealousy and envy make those who even have reasonable doubts shut up.

Even if it wasn't her own wish and she didn't even know about it.

But it was no use, she couldn't change it.

So he can only be held high above the masses like a god.

In fact, no matter what she said, it was useless. At this time, people didn't care what she said.

When God speaks of Himself, it is merely out of modesty.

If you say this, it will resonate even more.

"Look, she has achieved such great things yet is so humble. She is not only a genius, but also a person of outstanding character."

Under this general trend, any dissenting voice will be crushed.

They will shape this 'God' into something more perfect.

It gets higher and higher little by little.

But little do people know that the higher you stand, the harder it will be when you fall.

Unless that person is truly a perfect God.

If there is any flaw, the result will be
After a while, when the final was approaching, countless people cheered for her and waved flags to cheer her on.

however.

When the final results came out, she did not get a good score as everyone expected.

That's right, she might have made a mistake in the exam. Compared to the top few places last time, this time she performed much worse.

But in fact, for a high school girl, it is quite rare to achieve the same results as last time.

But in the end, not many people cared whether she made a mistake or just didn't perform well.

The group of people who created the gods only believed what they saw!
In just one night, she was pulled down from the altar by the very people who had put her on the pedestal.

Those who used to cheer for the cause are now just as hard-working in slandering, or even harder than before.

The internet was flooded with people saying that she was just lucky, or even worse, that she plagiarized.

When Xia Yuan first saw it, he was actually used to it.

There are countless such incidents that have caused God to fall from the altar.

In today's era, traffic is a double-edged sword.

As long as you suddenly become popular, no matter whether it is your own wish or whether you need this traffic or not, you will be deified.

Many times, once you are in the right place, it is not something that can be changed by personal will.

Qingyue is actually now at the forefront of the trend, and is tending to be deified by netizens.

Especially when comparing her video production skills with those in the same industry, they are simply praised to the sky.

When he releases videos later, he will definitely be brought down from the altar.

But Xia Yuan felt that the decline would not be too severe. After all, this kind of short video is different from the grassroots counterattack.

At most, a lot of onlookers would curse and leave, and the video playback volume would definitely not reach the current level.

In fact, this is not a bad thing. For those who really want to do their own thing, they don’t want to stay on the altar.

After the tide recedes, returning to yourself is the best state.

Since your positioning has been determined, you don’t actually need a crowd of onlookers.

Anyway, she won't do any live streaming to sell goods, so as long as she just keeps doing her own thing, there will be no problem.

Xia Yuan looked at the comments for a while and found that many people were saying it was true.

There are even many experts who use underlying logic to prove that this video has no signs of post-production.

[Let me tell you, just because you haven't seen something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. There are still experts in this world. I've seen one myself.]

[Excuse me, is there any master here? I want to learn from him.]

[Is it possible that the blogger is the expert you are looking for? ]

Let me explain to you that in the computer world, an image is essentially a string of numbers, which form a vector. If you want to know if there are any special effects, it's very simple. Just find its source code.

【…】

[I understand. You're selling courses. Just tell me, how much does it cost?]

However, after that person made a comment, he never showed up again.

After watching a lot of them, Xia Yuan really felt that there were many talented people in the comment section, and he didn't expect that there were really big guys who were so bored as to study this video.

Shouldn't that kind of person be immersed in various studies?
I actually still have time to find loopholes in this video.

I have to say, this video is really popular.

Even Xia Yuan saw that the number one hot search on Jiuzhou's largest social forum was about this video.

[A short video reveals the film and television industry's veil]

What the hell?

Xia Yuan was confused. When he clicked on it, he saw that almost everyone was saying that the special effects were amazing.

At the same time, more people criticized the Jiuzhou film and television industry for not being careful in film and television production.

Many people even brought it up with gods.

It fermented for just two days, and it caused such a sensation?

“No wonder someone would study this video!”
