I will never give in to Miss Death

"but I……"

I shook my head subconsciously: "I don't know how to perform..."

"One of our company's top-notch computers, with a monitor included."

Xiong Xiong acted like a wealthy man and said, "As long as you agree, you can choose any computer parts you want."

"Can……"

I hesitated: "Even if you say so, I haven't learned those..."

"And a complete set of our company's most advanced drawing boards."

Xiong Xiong gestured to Yin Xiamo: "Didn't you say before that you wanted Xiaomo to draw? We can use this as a trade."

Hearing this, I jumped off Yin Xiamo's shoulder.

"make a deal."

"..."

……

No. 275 Character Demonstration "Yin Nuoer: Boundless and Carefree"

There is a saying that goes: When people are pushed to the limit, they can do anything except advanced mathematics.

The good news is that what I need to do is not to solve advanced mathematics.

The bad news is that this is an area I have never set foot in.

"Everyone, please be patient. Due to the negligence of our staff, the graphics card and computer have not arrived yet. We are unable to provide a demonstration for you for the time being."

"But please rest assured, this... uh, our graphics card performance is sufficient. The Aquarius Age uses a brand new game engine, and our Apocalypse series graphics cards are specially optimized for this graphics card. Even the most basic entry-level model can achieve more than 4 frames with medium special effects at 80K resolution, and the top-of-the-line Apocalypse 3000 graphics card can achieve more than 4 frames at 160K..."

The company where the Xiongxiong family works, "Jia Lan Technology Co., Ltd.", is obviously the partner company of the comic exhibition held by Tongmeng.com today.

Not only are there advertisements for their company's accessories everywhere, but even the largest stage in the comic convention center looks like it was specially developed for this company.

By the way, this Jialan Technology Company... seems to be quite consistent with the theme of the comic convention?

There is nothing wrong with holding a comic exhibition in a science and technology museum and selling technological products at the booth.

However, it is hard to say whether these "two-dimensional" people who come to the comic convention will buy it.

Strictly speaking, companies like these that make computer accessories have almost nothing to do with the "second dimension", so they can only start from "online games" and "watching anime on the web" - you need a computer to watch videos and play games, right? You need to buy computer accessories to use a computer, right? If you want to buy them, you can take a look at ours.

It just so happened that "Age of Aquarius" was recently launched for public testing, so they took advantage of the opportunity to promote it.

But I really didn't expect that these product developers could be so careless as to come to the convention without even bringing samples? Logically, shouldn't they bring the most important things first?

"Where did this unknown brand come from? How can they independently produce graphics cards?"

"It's not just graphics cards. From what I've seen in their introduction, it seems that this company is involved in almost all computer products. Look, they have hard drives and memory sticks, but they didn't say in detail what the particles are..."

"Jia Lan is not a no-name brand. Not many people in China know about this company. They rarely export these things. I don't know what happened recently, but they suddenly became high-profile."

"They're also cooperating with Tongmeng.com? It's not an exaggeration to say that they're treated like their own son. There are ads everywhere, but why are the staff so careless?"

When Yin Xiamo, Xiong Xiong and I arrived at the center of the comic exhibition, there were already a lot of people gathered there.

The second floor of this science and technology museum is particularly spacious, with no partitions except for the load-bearing columns. When you go up the stairs, you can see the entire comic exhibition area almost at a glance - there is a large stage-like booth in the middle, and on both sides are shops selling all kinds of items, from food to clothing and daily necessities.

When I went upstairs just now, I noticed the big booth in the middle at first glance, but I didn’t expect it was used to display the products of Jialan Company.

If I'm not mistaken, Jialan Company should only have the "right to use" this large booth for a period of time. After that, there should be some small performances such as dancers dancing and singers singing.

At this time, many audiences have gathered under this large booth full of cyberpunk style. It is a large black sea. I don’t know how the person on the stage attracted so many people. The place can be described as "crowded".

"Haha, you can forget to bring your graphics card on the first day of introducing the product. I guess the graphics card will also use hunger marketing, right? All companies in the world are the same."

"Don't be so mean, they didn't forget to bring the cards, their person in charge only brought a computer case, not to mention the graphics card, even the memory sticks were given to you for starvation marketing, the scalpers made a lot of money."

It seems that the audience below was very unhappy about the fact that the company forgot to bring the demo machine to the stage, or they were suffering from some "PTSD" because of the recent incidents of other companies' graphics cards "playing tricks" on them. It seemed that many of them were very dissatisfied.

"I've seen some insider demo videos of the Aquarius Era, and the image quality is really amazing, especially the one that's similar to the Attack on Titan claw copy. I doubt whether their graphics cards can handle this kind of image quality at 4K, since they're not 4090."

“据说他们的天启3000显卡和4090是一个级别，甚至在对《水平时代》的优化程度比4090还要夸张，4K160帧是什么级别？无敌好吗？”

"I came here today because I heard there was a live demo of Age of Aquarius, but then I was turned down. Did I say something wrong? No matter how hard you try, this kind of game can't run at 4 FPS in 160K..."

It was obvious that the people below were very dissatisfied with the fact that "the opening ceremony was postponed due to the lack of samples at the exhibition". They were talking about it and their faces were full of impatience.

This is a relatively serious accident, no wonder Xiongxiong is so anxious.

"Sorry, please move aside."

"Rangrang, thank you..."

Sikong Yue, wearing a bear uniform, led the way in front, and Xiaomo and I followed behind. Maybe because we were all wearing Cosplay costumes, the crowd consciously made way for us to leave a path leading to the booth.

By the way, this platform is so high.

As I passed by the lighting equipment on the right side of the front of the booth, I sighed quietly in my heart.

Also... why are all the people around me so tall! There's not even one person shorter than me. Some of them who look like elementary school students are at least 1.5 meters tall. This is unscientific!

Although I knew very well in my heart that there would probably be no other person shorter than me in the entire comic convention, I still couldn't help feeling sad when walking among the crowd.

Comic conventions are different from coffee shops. People who like comic conventions and have the means to come and have fun are basically of middle school age. Most of them are college students and office workers. No matter how big a coffee shop is, there will always be parents who bring their children here to eat breakfast and fast food, and there are also a lot of cats. When I was working in a store, I could still compete with the cats. No matter how short I am, I can never be shorter than the cats. But at the comic convention... I seem to be the shortest.

Due to the announcement of the new version, the Grass Goddess Nashida is now a popular character. Along the way, I have also seen many girls cosplaying as the Grass Goddess, but they... are all taller than me, and much taller!

"Uncle, what's going on?"

Taking Yin Xiamo and I to the backstage of the stage, Xiongxiong said to an uncle who was constantly on the phone: "Dad and the others haven't arrived yet?"

"At least twenty minutes. The prototype was forgotten in the room."

The uncle called "Old Uncle" looked anxious and said in broken Mandarin: "This morning I told them again and again not to forget the important things, but they brought... the microphone, the projector, the lights, the promotional posters, but they didn't bring... this prototype, and the graphics card!"

"Now, look what happened. They boasted a lot at the opening ceremony, but in the end, there was nothing. It would be strange if the people below didn't go crazy!"

As the uncle spoke, he anxiously pressed the screen of his phone: "Yue, what should we do now...are they your friends?"

"Yeah, he's a good friend of mine here."

Xiong Xiong pulled Yin Xiamo and I in front of him, and then lowered his voice: "Quick, save the situation, this time it all depends on you."

"How……"

Although I readily agreed to Xiongxiong's request just now, I was still a little overwhelmed when I approached the scene: "How to save him? Go up and sing?"

From middle school to college, I have always been a relatively ordinary person. I have never sung on stage or performed a show. After entering society, I have not engaged in related work. Although the time I worked as a maid in a coffee shop made me courageous, it did not make me develop to the level of "social compulsion".

The reason I agreed to this matter just now was simply because I heard Xiongxiong say that he could provide a complete set of painting tools afterwards.

Although I know a little bit about computers, the area of ​​"drawing tablet" is really my blind spot in knowledge.

I don’t know what tools artists usually use to paint, nor do I know about the software and hardware compatibility, nor do I know the differences between different painting tools.

The reason why I never bought a board for Xiaomo after I received my salary was because I was not very clear about this field and did not dare to buy it rashly.

Xiong Xiong’s promise of “a complete set of our company’s most advanced drawing boards” instantly attracted my attention, for the simple reason that such things usually come with “after-sales” services.

What is the most annoying thing when buying a computer? After-sales service.

This is also the reason why people who know computers generally don’t buy computers for computer novices, because it means that you have to take on the responsibility of “lifelong after-sales” for them.

Since Xiong Xiong dared to offer a whole set of drawing boards as a reward for "saving the day", it means that she can provide corresponding "after-sales" services.

For example, if we need to know how to use this board, how to connect it to a computer, or if any problems arise during use, we can use our relationship with Xiongxiong to contact their company's after-sales service. Even if we buy a bad board, it doesn't matter, we can just replace it.

This "after-sales" is the main reason why I am attracted to it.

"Singing is fine, and so is organizing some small activities..."

Under the gaze of Xiaomo and I, Xiongxiong said helplessly: "In short, just attract the attention of the audience below and drag it out for these 20 minutes."

"Anything you can do to delay the time is fine, right?"

Before I could say anything, Yin Xiamo, who probably saw that my goal was the drawing board, came to Xiong Xiong and asked, "Do you have wireless headphones here? The kind that can be used for remote communication, Bluetooth? Is that what it's called? Bluetooth headphones."

"some."

Xiong Xiong casually took out a pair of small headphones from his pocket: "Do you want this?"

"Let Noel wear this. Can she hear me talking over here?"

"It needs to be paired with your phone."

"how to do?"

"Let me help you."

Xiong Xiong took Yin Xiamo's phone and set it up for a few times, seemingly turning on Bluetooth and pairing it. After a while, he returned the phone to Xiaomo: "Here."

Yin Xiamo glanced at the screen on her phone and handed me the Bluetooth headset: "Nuo'er, wear this."

"Oh……"

Although I didn't know what Xiaomo was going to do, out of trust in her, I still put on my headphones obediently.

"Let's go."

Xiaomo patted my shoulder and walked towards the stage first.

"We are really sorry. We will definitely not stand you up."

"Who would believe that? The two graphics card companies said the same thing before. They said there would be enough supply and it would definitely be available. Your product hasn't even been released yet, but you cancelled the press conference. How can consumers believe that?"

"Tongmeng.com is really rubbish. Cooperating with such a company..."

"I'm really sorry, this is a mistake made by the staff. It will take at most half an hour. The press conference will definitely be held on time in half an hour!"

"Then why don't you just postpone it for half an hour? What's the point of getting stuck in the middle of a conversation?"

In the noisy scene, unlike me who was a little nervous, Yin Xiamo, who was cosplaying as a traveler, walked up directly and grabbed the microphone from the obviously "amateur" host: "Okay, you can go down now."

"what?"

The host was dumbfounded. He was about to say something, but then he noticed Xiong Xiong and the "uncle" behind him gesturing for him to go back.

"Then let's leave the rest of the time to these two..."

The host looked at Yin Xiamo, who had an expression that said "I'm the boss", and then looked at me: "Give the time to this traveler and the little lucky grass king!"

"Hello everyone, I am the famous traveler, and this is my partner, Pie... Pfft, the little lucky grass king."

I don’t know what happened, but Xiaomo changed her previous style of being the arrogant queen and gentle wife, and the tone of her speech became a little bit... casual?

"They did forget to bring the sample machine, but the product is good. For example, the technology we are about to demonstrate to you was developed by this company itself—"

As she spoke, Yin Xiamo took out a small grass-green ball from somewhere and threw it into the sky.

"Ding--"

The moment the ball reached the top of the stage, it seemed as if something was activated, and bright green light bloomed like a flower, transforming into one translucent curtain after another, wrapping the entire stage.

This curtain is somewhat similar to holographic projection technology. It spreads out with the small ball that Xiaomo threw into the sky as the center and keeps rotating. It looks like the ball is originally connected to some circuits above his head.

The brief light fell, and the surrounding curtains gradually turned into a huge green palace, covering Xiaomo and me in the venue. It looked spectacular.

From a scientific point of view, this "holographic projection" is easy to explain. It is like Xiaomo has prepared a small ball with a transparent silk thread in advance. The moment it is thrown up, the backstage machine pulls the ball above the stage, and then turns on the holographic projection light on the top to create a "magic" effect.

However, from my perspective, Xiaomo's series of operations are really "magic".

Because I felt the same breath of life from the translucent and shiny "palace holographic projections" around me as from the clothes on my body.

In other words... this should have been simulated by Xiaomo using her elf's life magic.

But the people below probably don’t think much of it.

"Wow!"

"What? This is too exaggerated, isn't it?"

"So beautiful... Is this a magic show?"

"Tsk, you don't need to guess what this little trick is, it's a holographic projection, right? But I didn't expect the effect to be so good, it's thoughtful."

"As expected of Tongmeng.com, they actually provide such technology..."

The entire stage was suddenly covered by such a large translucent palace. Not only the people below, but even those who had not noticed the movement on the stage in the distance were attracted over. Soon the crowd surrounded the area in three layers.
