136. A match without suspense
It was a day of joy for the hundreds of millions of music lovers in Veridiania. The Gemini app was about to update its music section, and the long-established Meta Platforms Company Music, under pressure, had chosen to offer its services for free across the board. It was a veritable music feast.
When the time came, users hesitated. They looked at the Gemini app icon and then at the Meta Platforms Company Music icon. In everyone's eyes, the Gemini app seemed like a platter of exquisite delicacies, too perfect to be true. There was always a feeling of reluctance to open it, wanting to save it for a surprise for themselves on some future day.
After much thought, many netizens concluded: first, let's check in at Meta Platforms Company Music to see if we could win a hundred bucks.
They clicked on Meta Platforms Company Music only to find that they failed to connect to the server.
[Meta Platforms Company Music is down?]
[What's going on? What happened to the promised $10 million lottery?]
[Weren't there supposed to be celebrity interviews?]
[What's the meaning of this inability to log in? Did they chicken out at the last minute? Seriously, is it that bad?]
After countless people repeatedly logged out and logged back in, they started to complain online.
Finally, they realized Meta Platforms Company crashed!
'Unbelievable, are they scared? Let's log into the Gemini app instead!'
Lots of users held the same idea.
Just like that, all users flocked to the Gemini app!
As soon as they clicked open, colorful musical note icons floated across the screen! A small, gorgeous effect indicated that Gemini app Music was now live!
Of course, people couldn't help but open their Gemini app stage, eagerly looking at their messages. There was one heartfelt reply after another on the app. Netizens who shared the same feelings made all users instantly feel at ease.
Inexplicably, different pieces of music gently started playing on each different phone.
A middle-aged man who had just posted a photo with his deceased wife was scrolling through the comments from netizens, all filled with warm comfort. A piece of music softly began to play.
"They say nostalgic people are like scavengers In tattered clothes, rummaging everywhere, But why are there so many scavengers in the world Because one day he found a rusty ring and held it, lost in thought."
"This was his world. Behind every relaxed smile, there was once a soul gritting its teeth. It is a kind of resilience. He is bound to be misunderstood by others. Because, in this materialistic age, there are few serious people left."
The song played quietly, and the middle-aged man held his phone and moved to tears! Songs with melodies resonate with one's mood, and they have ten times the impact of words.
As the song ended, he clicked on the song details.
[Song: "Serious People," Singer: Bar Singer North Wind.]
The man finally let the tears he had been holding back fall from his eyes. "Why didn't I discover this song earlier? It's really good. Like a kind of elixir, slowly healing my heart."
Thousands of miles away, a student who had just received an acceptance letter from an out-of-state university was sitting on a bus. Feeling a bit lost, after all, he was about to leave the hometown that had nurtured him for over a decade. He put on his headphones, opened the Gemini app, and soft music began to play on his phone.
"When you try to take three or four steps forward on a path, then you start to think about whether to keep going. You look down at your feet."
"Decide not to go. Return to the path. It turns out everything was overthought. Because you realized there's no going back. You can only move forward bravely. I'll wait for you to return in glory."
After listening to the song, the student was filled with melancholy! Gemini app Music seemed to have a soul, answering his questions! When he came to his senses, he suddenly realized he had missed his stop by four stations!
These were just glimpses of the hundreds of millions of users! Countless people were immersed in the ocean of Gemini app Music! After listening to the touching songs, they then realized, isn't Gemini app supposed to charge? They all clicked on the official Gemini app music channel.
Only to see a heartwarming advertisement: [The music that suits you best is priceless!]
Countless people were moved.
[Gemini app has attitude and taste! I support you!]
[No more words, where's the payment entrance? I must subscribe to this membership!]
They typed with exuberate joy.
Creator's Office.
Over 400 people, clenching their fists, stared intently at the data screen in front of them. 1 paying customer. 2. 3. 1 thousand. 10 thousand. Many covered their eyes. When they couldn't help it, they peeked through their fingers. Their hearts tightened!
150 million. 160 million! The number of paying users was like a volcanic eruption!
Alvin's mouth was dry, his eyes fixed on the screen.
"This must be profitable! And the amount is astonishing!" he exclaimed.
"Amazing, users didn't go to Meta Platforms Company. Did they all come here?" someone shouted excitedly.
"Everyone, forget about Meta Platforms Company!"
A programmer looked at his phone in disbelief and shouted. "I just got internal news! Meta Platforms Company headquarters lost power, the main servers are down, and we're now in a state of paralysis!"
"How could this happen?" a group of people exclaimed.
The programmer who got the news was also puzzled, scratching his head, and said, "Heard from an insider. Did someone set off fireworks inside? Blew up?"
Elbert, who had been unmoved, chuckled. "There were no fireworks, and they brought it on themselves with their wrong intentions!"
In fact, it was Elbert who had discovered the commercial spy in advance and deliberately let him take away the Gemini app's 'core algorithm.' He subtly tampered with that algorithm, delivering a little gift back to Meta Platforms Company at the right moment!
In the 'core algorithm,' Elbert only gave a piece of hypnotic speech! At the moment of successful hypnosis, Robert instantly blacked out the entire Meta Platforms Company headquarters!
One hour later, Creator's employees opened the champagne they had prepared in advance, celebrating together!
The number of paying users of Gemini app Music had surpassed 500 million, another astonishing set of data in internet history!
At the same time, Meta Platforms Company Group had turned to a place of darkness—a place of chaos!
"What happened? Sudden power outage!"
"Hurry up and fix it!"
One of Veridiania's top music stars, David Morrison, sat helplessly in a dark corner. This was the most ridiculous performance he had ever experienced!
He couldn't help but yell," "What is going on with Meta Platforms Company?
A power outage?
How am I supposed to explain this to my fans!
Can you get anything done? You're so unreliable!
I'm leaving!"
