Curly Hair wouldn't casually talk to people. The focus was on "people."
However, in the ears of the host and the audience, it automatically became "don't casually talk to strangers."
The host smiled warmly and said, "That's right. Don't casually talk to strangers. Of course, this is Fiery Bird's All-star Competition. It's official, so we can still talk. So, Student 'Little Curly Curls', how are you playing the virtual rubik's cube? "
Curly Hair recalled his recent battle results with other people on the learning platform and replied, "Not bad."
He didn't know what level he was at. Actually, when he had the most fun playing the virtual rubik's cube, he had been using Fang Zhao's gaming helmet. Back then, he hadn't been online and had been competing against himself. His results hadn't been uploaded to the internet, so nobody knew his true level. He also didn't have a clear understanding of his own abilities. However, he remembered Fang Zhao praising him. That should be "not bad", right?
The host didn't know what Curly Hair was thinking. She could only hear that Curly Hair's reply seemed a little lacking in confidence, but she didn't think much of it. Many people, no matter how good they were, would still feel weak when facing a world champion.
"So, Student Little Curly Curls, are you ready for the challenge?"
"Wait a moment!"
Curly Hair ran to lock the door and even put up a sign to prevent Fang Zhao from suddenly returning and exposing himself.
The audience only heard a burst of noise. After a short while, "Little Curly Curls" said, "Done."
The host glanced at the technician, who gestured an "OK" to indicate that there were no problems. "Then let's begin."
…
At another venue in the All-star competition area, Zaro didn't watch those godly players practice with Woo Tianhao. Instead, he found a place to pose.
Zaro always had the self-confidence that even though he wasn't a celebrity, he could easily grab headlines with his newfound talent.
His agent was numb. Although he didn't think that Zaro would be able to grab too much attention in the All-star competition, as an experienced agent, he knew Zaro's temper too well. On account of his high salary, there were some truths that couldn't be said. At times like this, it was either praise or shut up.
Zaro finally took a few photos that he was satisfied with. Just as he was about to post them, he saw an arrogant display of fireworks in a certain venue.
"It's the Rubik's Cube Competition Hall. Someone should have succeeded in the challenge or set a new record," the agent said.
These small competition halls were actually just a backdrop in the All-Star competition area. Many students didn't have to go to school on the weekends and would come from afar to watch the All-Star competition. These halls looked lively on the surface, but they didn't have much of a presence. The people who went there were mostly younger students or parents with their children. The slightly older students all went to the "Battle of the Century" halls. As a result, whenever there was something new, the mini-game hall would want to set off a salute to attract everyone's attention.
As he spoke, Zaro realized that a few of Fiery Bird's All-Star Competition news outlets that he followed had also reported on this matter.
"A primary school student breaking the Rubik's Cube record? If you want to set a new record, then set a new record. Why do you have to be so angry? Since when can elementary school students steal the headlines? "Zaro was unhappy.
In the Rubik's Cube Competition Hall.
The record-holder sitting on the stage went from being unconvinced at the start to doubting his own life, and his face turned pale.
He lost the first round, but he was just a little slower, so the host suggested three rounds.
Then, he lost all three rounds.
How did he meet such a person? Why was his opponent always just a little faster than him?
The 16-year-old former record-holder fell silent. If he couldn't maintain the record, he only had two choices: think of a way to increase his speed or change his profession. He had earned enough money in the past two years and could indeed do other things. But! He still couldn't accept losing like this! Just a little more!
Was it because he had run too many business events and lacked practice?
He had actually lost to a primary school student!!
The host looked at the technician with a questioning look. Was he cheating? The opponent was so fast that he seemed like a professional troublemaker!
The technician shook his head. He hadn't detected it.
They usually played with the learning console's Rubik's Cube, which ranged from low-level to high-level. Today, they were competing with the learning console's high-level Rubik's Cube. The host hadn't expected such a situation to occur. However, to them, having news was also a good thing!
After the three rounds, the host wanted to know more about Curly Hair.
"Can I eat something?" Curly Hair wasn't the least bit excited about breaking the record. He hadn't even tried his best.
"Of course." The host smiled. "Are you hungry? That's right. It's time for lunch. "
Thus, the live audience heard a series of crunching sounds like biscuits being gnawed on.
"Oh … are you eating snacks? Snacks can't be treated as meals. Where's your parent? "the host asked.
"He went to school!" Curly Hair replied.
Then, the host continued fishing for information and found out that "Little Curly Curls"'s parent had gone to school and wouldn't be back in the afternoon. Little Curly Curls could only eat snacks.
"Little Curly Curls"'s parent was a student? Master's or PhD? Which school? He had to be pulled out and criticized!
The audience felt that they had already found the truth and labeled "Little Curly Curls"'s parent as "irresponsible".
There were indeed many people who took care of their children while attending school, but they wouldn't leave their children at home for an entire day! They didn't even have a nanny robot!!
Could it be that their family's financial situation was difficult?
As the host continued fishing for information, the audience started to imagine a poor family with a parent busy with school and a child who could only sit by the learning console and munch on biscuits on weekends.
How pitiful!!
The host also expressed her sympathy. However, she was more concerned about whether she could create more news. Thus, she persuaded Curly Hair to try a few more difficult and niche rubik's cubes.
Thus, amidst the constant crunching of snacks, the live audience watched as "Little Curly Curls" broke the record of the seven variants of the Rubik's Cube given by the host. Furthermore, he broke the record in one go.
At this moment, the host was elated and proud. I randomly picked a genius!
However, just as the host was about to list the rubik's cubes, Curly Hair stopped.
"Eh? Tired? Let's take a break and chat a bit, "the host said. When the other party was tired, they would let down their guard. That was the best way to get information out of them.
"I'm not playing anymore," Curly Hair said.
He just wanted to eat some dog food in peace, but the host kept jabbering and trying to get information out of him. He kept asking for his name and the name of his "dad."
How could he say the name of his "dad"?!
If he said it, Fang Zhao would definitely cut off the internet and throw him to Muzhou to herd sheep!
He only wanted to be a gamer dog and not a shepherd dog!
However, even though Curly Hair wanted to quit, the host didn't want to let him go just like that.
"We can still continue after a break. Oh, right, you have a reward for completing the challenge and setting a new record today," the host said. Wouldn't he be able to keep Curly Hair with a reward?
Curly Hair was tempted when he heard that there was a reward.
"What's the reward?" Curly Hair asked.
"You will receive a very special and unique star edition learning machine …"
"No need!" Curly Hair decisively went offline.
For something like the learning machine, one was enough. Wasn't so many Reading Comprehension Machines enough? No matter how special it was, it was still a learning machine! You actually want another learning machine to increase the workload? Are you all demons?!
The host looked at the "the other party has ended the call" pop-up on the big screen and finished his sentence with a stiff expression. "And a two-million-dollar reward."
Curly Hair, who had left Fiery Bird's star channel, didn't know there was still a reward. He secretly rejoiced. Luckily, I escaped quickly!
He also noticed that his account had received many messages from strangers. There were too many.
He thought back to what he had said today and looked at the messages sent by these strangers. Things like friend requests, business collaborations, technical advice, class address, these weren't important!
No one had recognized him as a dog, and he hadn't exposed Fang Zhao. But … he was apprehensive. He felt like he had done something wrong.
He hadn't caused any trouble for Fang Zhao, right?
Humans were too scheming. Fang Zhao was right. He still had to learn a lot to pretend to be a human.
Curly Hair guiltily deleted all those messages. He even deleted the Fiery Bird star icon.
But there were still messages from strangers. Curly Hair deleted them without even looking and set it so that non-friends couldn't send private messages.
Finally, peace. If he cleared his call history, Fang Zhao wouldn't know when he returned, right?
Fang Zhao, who was busy dealing with the committee's barrage of questions, didn't know that he was being made a scapegoat.
After the six-hour segment was over, Fang Zhao left the conference room and spoke to Mo Lang before getting into the car with Zuo Yu and Yan Biao's escort. The segment was quite a distance away from the dormitory. Besides HuangArt teachers and students, there were also many entertainment reporters. Nanfeng drove over to pick Fang Zhao up so that he wouldn't be bothered by them.
Nanfeng glanced at Zuo Yu. Zuo Yu gave him a thumbs up and knew that Fang Zhao's segment had gone smoothly. "Boss, Fiery Bird called again when you were doing your segment. They invited you to participate."
"Mmhm, I received their message." Fang Zhao had just left the segment's conference room when he received a new message. It was from Fiery Bird, congratulating him on his successful segment and inviting him to participate in the All-star Match as a special guest.
Nanfeng didn't bring it up again. Instead, he talked about the news he had just seen to liven up the atmosphere.
"Speaking of Fiery Bird's All-star Match, Boss, you might not know, but a primary school student went to the All-star Match today! He even set a few records in a row! Hahaha, that's interesting. That kid's ID is' Little Curly Curls'. It's very similar to our Curly Hair's name. It sounds so familiar. I even gave him a like! "
Nanfeng even ranted to Fang Zhao about how irresponsible Little Curly Curls's parents were. They actually left the kid alone at home on a weekend to munch on biscuits. How could biscuits be eaten when a child was growing?!
Fang Zhao: "…"
He was just about to reject Fiery Bird's second invitation when he retracted his hand.
