My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 168 Z: If you are not strong, you are not worthy to fuse with the Spirit Star and become my child!

Lin Xia can now be considered a Z employee, albeit in a very flexible position as an advisor... This wasn't actually suggested by Chu Zhu. It's just that Zhao Shao was incredibly accommodating.

"Initiating verification, initiating detection!" Z's voice was as calm and gentle as ever. "Detection successful! Lock successful. Uncle Lin, hello! Your niece has taken care of everything on your phone."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xia took several deep breaths and, with trembling hands, took her phone out of her pocket.

"Got it, got it... Douyin, 2,460 accounts; Weibo, 17,700 accounts; and Kuaishou... Thank you! And could you please also make me a simple app to manage these accounts?"

Z: "Of course."

"Actually," Chu Zhu hesitated for a moment before offering a suggestion, "you can give some requirements, and then have Z produce some short videos and send them to these Douyin and Weibo accounts!"

"Z's capabilities, if supported by the computing power of the host machine, are stronger than you can imagine."

Lin Xia paused for a moment, lost in thought, and suddenly asked, "Z, in that case, could you turn the novels that Zhu Zi posts online into those AI short videos?"

"Let's create animations, novels, images, and audiobooks! On one hand, it'll drive traffic to Bamboo's novels, and on the other hand, it can make a little money... Is it feasible?"

Lin Xia was a little uneasy for a moment, then he watched Z operate, thought deeply, and finally gave his answer.

"Uncle, it's feasible! However, all the remaining computing power on the Z host is currently being used for deep learning, as Father requested: analyzing past stock charts, various unspoken rules, and various overt rules related to global stocks on Tieba!"

"After deep thought, I've concluded that my father probably also wants me to start focusing on this aspect. As for stocks, he probably wants me to postpone it?"

"Start allocating computing power! Begin production. Estimated: Global stock market information processing time will be extended by ten minutes!"

"The stock market?" Lin Xia was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Chu Zhu.

"Yes, I almost forgot to tell you about this!" Chu Zhu said calmly, and began to explain the issue in detail.

"I understand..." Lin Xia listened for a while, then nodded thoughtfully. "So, it was still made for me? You're worried about me overworking? Thank you!"

"...You!" Chu Zhu looked at Lin Xia, momentarily at a loss for words. After all, Lin Xia was still making money for him.

Although Lin Xia used to be a very righteous entrepreneur, Chu Zhu now felt a little embarrassed thinking about it... After all, Lin Xia exploited Hu Ruochu, and he exploited Lin Xia... emmm, why does it feel like he's become the final boss?
then……

Twenty minutes later.

Lin Xia gasped as she looked at the newly created short video.

"My God! The picture quality! The smoothness of the characters' movements... This is already watchable!"

"This is terrifying..."

Although Lin Xia knew that some people were already creating videos directly from AI, these videos still had various problems! Ultimately, these AI-generated videos could not replace human capabilities!
Currently, the industry most severely impacted by AI... according to Lin Xia's knowledge, should be painting?
but……

Compared to those AIs... at this moment, the video that Z produced was truly... if Lin Xia hadn't been told beforehand, he wouldn't have been able to tell at all.

While the quality isn't top-tier... even if this short two-minute video isn't top-tier, it's still up to the standards of a prime-time TV drama!
If we judge it by the standards of currently popular short dramas...

This is definitely a big-budget production.

terror!
No, this is absolutely appalling.

"Dimensional reduction attack...this is dimensional reduction attack!" Lin Xia could only repeat this over and over, her voice trembling.

"That's actually quite normal." Chu Zhu's voice was calm. After a slight pause, he glanced at Lin Xia, his voice carrying a hint of deeper meaning. "In fact, you can unleash your imagination even further with Z's abilities, in broader and more incredible directions!"

Leaning back in his recliner, Chu Zhu glanced sideways at Lin Xia: "Or rather, if we can't even do something like this, how can we talk about saving the world? You could even say that this is just the beginning..."

Do you really think saving the world is child's play?!
“…You’re right!” Lin Xia calmed down.

Chu Zhu nodded slightly, then looked at the computer screen again, her mind racing.

He gave Z a bunch of AI source code data from the future Shenzhou... data retrieval, paper writing, program assistance, video production, song synthesis—in a way...

Z: Those who can survive under my guidance and occupy a certain niche market are all strong... Those who are not strong are not worthy of merging with Lingdong Star and becoming my child!
Therefore, it's normal for them to be extremely strong in these niche tracks, given their epic enhancements and the fact that they've consumed the Z-type power that will eventually wipe out the future generations of children.

"To put it bluntly, the computing power is still insufficient! If..." Chu Zhu paused, her voice tinged with a hint of regret, "it's not entirely impossible to produce an AI feature film worthy of theatrical release... Of course, the computing power requirements would be unimaginably high!"

Lin Xia: "???"

Are you talking human language?
"I'm not showing off," Chu Zhu explained, knowing Lin Xia well enough to see his blank stare. "Because of computing power, Z can only produce short videos that convert urban novels into animations, or some martial arts films. In short, the special effects can't be that outrageous!"

"I see." Lin Xia said thoughtfully, "I understand. I'm going to connect with a few more novel websites to get their authorization, and then start using Z to mass-produce novels into short videos and animations! To build our own complete industry chain."

"And another thing," Lin Xia suddenly had an idea, her face showing excitement, "Azhu, I think we can also do something like AI idols!"

“Model the faces of those popular beauty bloggers on Douyin, and then use these AI bloggers to do live streams, singing the songs you made, Zhu Zi… No, we don’t even need those bloggers’ faces!” Lin Xia’s words suddenly stopped. He thought of something, rubbed his chin, and stared at Chu Zhu thoughtfully.

"?" After a brief silence, Chu Zhu felt that Lin Xia's gaze made him feel like she might ask him at any moment if he wanted to come to his house for a "Duang Lang" (a euphemism for a romantic encounter).

Chu Zhu, her face tense, uttered a probing question, "Are you thinking about something strange?"

"Hehehe!" Lin Xia said shyly with an awkward but polite smile, "I was just thinking, could I use your face?"

Chu Zhu: "???"

“It really is your face! It’s such a waste that you’re not an idol…” Lin Xia looked you up and down repeatedly. “I know you can’t debut, but I can’t even imagine how many fans you would gain if we used your face in a model… and you would give away fewer idol stars the right to use your image.”

Chu Zhu laughed, a laugh born of silence.

Seeing this, Lin Xia asked with some confusion, "You shouldn't be against this, right? After all, you've sung so many songs before... And didn't you say before that the higher your status in the real world, the better?"

That's because of Nuwa's authority! Chu Zhu forcibly suppressed the urge to complain. But now, he had completely given up on that idea... mainly because he had realized that to know those deepest information, one needed at least the highest level of authority!

However, without joining the official ranks, it's almost impossible to obtain the highest level of access. Therefore, his enthusiasm in this area has definitely waned…

but……

Seeing Lin Xia's anxious expression, Chu Zhu remained silent for a moment before finally softening and sighing, "Alright... I'll give you face! Let me get some sleep, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow..."

Let's wait until he falls asleep tonight and see what the outcome will be! Then... we'll see.

If the butterfly effect is too severe, Chu Zhu will have no choice but to cut it off.

"Yay! Then I'll start preparing in this area." Lin Xia was overjoyed. "The novel will be converted into a live-action AI short video, and the main character will be your face. The AI ​​will quickly create one... Don't make that face. Even if you don't agree tomorrow, I can just have the AI ​​change your face! AI is so convenient in this respect... Unlike actors, who have to reshoot."

Chu Zhu: "...Whatever makes you happy!"

"Actually, I really think this has great potential!" Lin Xia began to imagine, "Just imagine, a flood of AI short videos, all of medium quality, up to the level of satellite TV dramas, appearing on major platforms... most of the male leads' faces are using yours! There's no need to pay licensing fees at all... you can easily gain huge traffic!"

"You might become the only traffic star of this era... oh no, a superstar. Add to that your incredibly awesome songs! Your personal brand value could easily break through tens of billions! No, it could even reach hundreds of billions!"

Chu Zhu: "..."

Chu Zhu was actually quite curious about Lin Xia's views on money... Did he even know what a multi-billion dollar IP really meant? Globally, that's like Pokémon or Disney-level IPs! You expect one person to handle it?

"I can't even imagine! You've produced so many works, and with your face, your life is like a cheat code! I just don't understand why you're still complaining? Sigh... If only I had this kind of start, I could easily date a thousand girlfriends, right?" Lin Xia started daydreaming.

Chu Zhu clenched his fists expressionlessly, forcibly suppressing the urge to pin Lin Xia to the ground and beat her up.

Very good! Excellent! It seems I still haven't given you enough work...

He actually wants to date a thousand girlfriends?!
Okay, let him go back this time and see... see if he can give you some more responsibilities!
