Chapter 605: Storming the Secret Garden! Bro Xiao Is a Legend!
That night's events still ended up trending on the Hot Search list in the end.There was no helping it. Hotel staff, scenic area personnel, and the rescue team had been dispatched on the spot, with entertainment industry celebrities involved on top of that. The buzz factor was maxed out.
Although the final outcome for those four troublemakers was still unknown, bloggers had already started making videos about the incident and uploading them to short video platforms.
One blogger was actually a member of the rescue team themselves. His daily short videos focused on documenting ordinary life, and from time to time he'd join friends on rescue missions. Some of the people involved in previous cases had even made it onto the short video platform's "Secret Garden."
*Secret Garden: A short video account dedicated to reviewing outdoor adventure accidents, warning future generations to respect nature and cherish life.
This time, as soon as the rescue mission was mentioned as being connected to a variety show that was being filmed, the blogger turned on the chest-mounted recorder when he went up the mountain.
And so, in his video, the whole story was recorded relatively completely from beginning to end.
Of course, barring any surprises, this had probably been authorized by the program team. After all, they wanted the heat too, but they couldn't exactly say anything themselves to avoid conspiracy theories from others. So having a "third party" provide a relatively fair record was very helpful for steering public opinion in their favor.
Sure enough, as soon as the video went online, it exploded across the internet, quickly racking up over two million likes, shares, and comments.
The funniest part was that the video faithfully recorded the rescue team leader striking up a conversation with Xiao He, but at first completely failing to recognize who he was.
Actually, forget the rescue team leader — even the netizens barely recognized him.
The footage was pretty shaky, and the scene was chaotic. Everyone only managed to spot their Bro Xiao from a fleeting figure in the bottom left corner.
At that moment, Xiao He was looking down at his computer with a serious expression. Under the dim lighting, his face was illuminated by the computer screen instead, making him look completely different from before. He gave off the commanding aura of a behind-the-scenes big shot controlling the entire situation.
But because it flashed by so fast, many people almost missed it. It was only thanks to frantic bullet comments from viewers that they finally managed to find him in a paused frame.
And when it got to the interaction segment, even more people recognized Xiao He's voice.
Although the blogger only recorded people's chests without directly filming faces, and even blurred some parts to protect privacy, Xiao He's voice was incredibly distinctive. Anyone familiar with him could confirm it was him just from hearing it.
Most importantly —
This computer skillset fit Xiao He like a glove!
[Warning: High energy ahead. Keep an eye on the handsome guy in the bottom left corner.]
[Damn, Bro Xiao is a legend! Everyone else used muscle, he straight-up used technology. That's a total dimensionality reduction attack.]
[They say the person who can solve problems is the most attractive. Bro Xiao, what other surprises do you have that I don't know about?]
[Got to say it — Bro Xiao's drone is freaking amazing! If this can actually be put into rescue operations, so many missions could get twice the results with half the effort!]
[Whispering here: Several non-industry people I know have said Bro Xiao is a programming god wasted as an actor. This is just further proof of his worth. Absolutely terrifying.]
[When did Bro Xiao go to Rong City? Is this a variety show? Why'd he suddenly go film a variety show? I thought he was still with the production team.]
[This is a variety show called "Journey Across Mountains and Rivers." If anyone's interested, you can click to pre-order. The first episode should be out soon.]
[This whole thing is just insane. Stalker fans climbed over a snowy mountain to see their idol, and almost died up there. If the program team hadn't known what was at stake and called for rescue immediately, they could've just respawned.]
[Honestly, I'm not satisfied they didn't freeze to death on the mountain. Are people like this even worth saving? Total waste of resources and manpower.]
[No need to be that vicious. I just hope this gets dealt with seriously. If people start copying this, celebrities might as well not do anything else. Having fans like that is the worst luck imaginable.]
[I used to think Wu Chuyi was sometimes putting on an act and had zero emotional intelligence when speaking. Now I'm starting to feel sorry for him.]
[Jump to 8:12 in the video. Wu Chuyi's expression when he saw it was a stalker he knew is really worth analyzing.]
[Haha, there are too many elements in this video. Definitely needs multiple viewings.]
Netizens watched the video mostly joking around and having fun, but there were also viewers who observed carefully. They were more concerned about the brand of drone Xiao He used and the rescue AI code technology he'd built.
Although the rescue scene was chaotic and the blogger kept following others deeper into the mountains, paying little attention to Xiao He, they paid a lot of attention to the drone! They basically talked about the drone the entire time.
And that drone was seriously cool — all black, understated and low-key. Even hidden in the darkness, it gave off a reliable sense of security. The blogger filmed the drone as he walked, and some teammates along the way analyzed the brand and model of the two drones, which left a deep impression on viewers.
In the final scene, the young man slowly closed his laptop and looked up toward the sky —
Then those two mysterious drones flew out from the darkness, slowly descending in front of the young man, retracting their glow as if formally completing their mission.
Meanwhile, the people around him rushed forward eagerly, surrounding him like stars around the moon, peppering him with all kinds of questions.
Even though no one's face was visible, the person at the center was so dazzling. The halo of a tech genius shone brightly at that moment. Just the glimpse of his chin was enough to send the bullet comments into absolute frenzy!
[The tech genius is a legend!]
[Tech genius saves the world!!!]
[Holy crap, he's this handsome even without showing his face?]
[What else is there to say? I don't need my knees anymore — if I kneel forever, can someone send me the same drone model?]
[What do we say when we see Xiao He?]
[Bro Xiao is a legend!!!]
And with that, the segment about Xiao He came to an end. The last few minutes were the blogger's brief summary of the incident, and they didn't forget to call on everyone at the end to be rational fans, not get too carried away, not treat their own lives lightly, to respect nature, and cherish life.
The viewers who finished watching were both excited and frustrated. It felt like scratching an itch through a shoe. They wished they'd been there in person to witness it all unfold.
Netizens kept asking the blogger what brand and model Xiao He's drone was. It seemed really advanced, and they wanted to buy the same one.
Unfortunately, the blogger didn't know either. Xiao He hadn't explained it clearly at the time, so the blogger could only regretfully explain what they knew in the comments and politely remind everyone to be rational about following trends and not get tricked by advertisers.
Actually, forget the blogger.
The next day, as soon as public opinion started brewing, Liu Rulan told Xiao He that about 80% of drone brands currently on the market had already reached out to him.
And that didn't even include other related merchants and rescue organizations.
Even the black fleece jacket Xiao He had casually worn that night had sold out instantly. Countless people followed the trend and bought the same model, panicking the jacket's brand into paying Xiao He overnight to make him their spokesperson and thank him for the free advertising.
Almost no one had expected that a single nighttime rescue mission would make Xiao He the biggest winner of the whole incident.
But it was really thanks to Xiao He's own exceptional skills. Modifying the drone had directly boosted the rescue team's capabilities.
As for "Journey Across Mountains and Rivers," they were the ones who truly hit the jackpot. They started warming up publicity bright and early, announcing that the night's events would be made into a special episode to air separately.
Hu Pei was grinning so hard his eyes disappeared. He wanted to increase Xiao He's pay again and begged him to come back for another episode.
But the promotional period for the second season of "Corner Also" was also approaching. Xiao He simply couldn't find the time, so Liu Rulan had to regretfully decline.
