As Ye Qing clicked the publish button, the homepage of the beautifully designed official website refreshed and immediately transformed into a scene similar to a video live stream.
At the top was a highly provocative promotional title, and below it was a high-definition live stream.
In the video, one could clearly see two silver mechanical engineering chairs fixed on a huge steel plate.
Due to the angle, the steel frame in front of the mechanical engineering chairs was not visible in the video, which made the more than a thousand users on the website feel a bit curious after seeing the promotional message and the live stream.
Among the more than a thousand online users displayed in the backend, one-third were water army, two-thirds were curious users who came to read the comments, and the remaining one-third were the true users of the mechanical engineering chairs.
As soon as the provocative banner title appeared, these curious users and the water army immediately exploded.
They posted on the forum, some cursing the merchant for overestimating their capabilities, and others frantically commenting, urging the merchant to hurry up and show how they would counter the water army.
Ye Qing was staring at the website control backend. The number of online users displayed in the backend began to increase exponentially as soon as he posted the banner and started the video live stream.
Seeing that the number of online users had already increased to over five thousand, Ye Qing decided to wait for more people before officially starting his demonstration.
As the number of posts in the forum increased, Ye Qing suddenly slapped his head and quickly called the CEO of Phantom Vision, Yan Zhaoge.
"Quickly, help me add a bullet screen function to the video live stream on the official website."
"Bullet screen?" Yan Zhaoge, who hadn't yet noticed the banner Ye Qing posted, gasped over the phone after half a minute: "You... this title is too... domineering."
"How do you plan to counter them?"
"Wait, give me ten minutes. We have a ready-made template for the bullet screen plugin. I'll set it up for you right away, with colorful bullet screens."
Yan Zhaoge hung up the phone without waiting for a response. As more and more users were attracted by the topic and entered the official website, the title Ye Qing posted was being spread by more and more users.
However, most of them came with the intention of watching a joke.
As the saying goes, those who watch the show don't mind if things get big. They posted on various active forums, using very exaggerated words to describe the action of the mechanical engineering chair's official website.
"Haha~ The unscrupulous merchant is about to start whitewashing. Everyone, come and watch."
"The merchant has installed two chairs on a steel plate, saying they will slap our faces and show us what true industry is. Let's go and see!"
"The merchant is live streaming the hanging of chairs, which don't move at all. Everyone, come and watch."
"Everyone, come and see what true industrial technology is. Yes, the technology of live streaming the hanging of chairs."
On Weibo, some people started to @Lu Tianjun's Mechanical Pioneer ID, saying the merchant wants to show you what true industrial technology is. Come and watch.
...
It didn't take ten minutes; seven minutes later, the first red bullet screen appeared in the official website's live stream.
"Bullet screen done!"
This was definitely sent by Yan Zhaoge. As soon as this bullet screen appeared, the audience, which had already increased to over 50,000, refreshed the webpage and left their marks like discovering a new continent.
"Live streaming the hanging of chairs, the brain-dead merchant!"
"I can't wait to see how the merchant will whitewash themselves."
"The quality of the chair is trash, and it's expensive. I still want to say, whoever buys it is a fool."
"Ha, is the merchant going to give us a lesson on screw drilling?"
"You ignorant humans, I have already seen the merchant's true industrial technology. Haven't you noticed how thick the merchant's face is?"
"Ha~ Hi everyone, I'm the editor of the Future Technology Forum. I'm going to give you a big scoop. I want to let more people appreciate the merchant's funny behavior."
"66~ I'm going to @ those journalists' public accounts and invite them to come and see how the merchant uses junk materials to show us true industrial technology."
The bullet screens were going crazy, with countless people mocking Ye Qing's overestimation of his capabilities.
Live streaming the hanging of chairs, was this the merchant's way of whitewashing the mechanical engineering chairs made from junk materials?
Ye Qing crossed his arms, ignoring the bullet screens filled with water army.
Yes, by opening a live stream on the official website and adding a bullet screen function, Ye Qing had created the best outlet for all the water army.
By registering an account, they could freely express themselves in front of countless viewers, blackening the merchant as much as they wanted. This was definitely the easiest and most satisfying time for them to blacken someone.
Some of the comments were so black that even they couldn't stand them, but there was clearly no management to stop their behavior.
Ye Qing was waiting for the number of online users in the backend to increase. The more people, the better the effect of the demonstration.
And the Master of Ingenuity also had some preparations to make.
The rhythm was being driven by the water army and some fans who believed the words of Mechanical Pioneer.
The few mechanical engineering chair users had already chosen to watch.
Although they also thought that hanging the mechanical engineering chairs on a steel plate was ridiculous, they couldn't help but look forward to seeing how the merchant would demonstrate the performance of the chairs in a way they couldn't guess.
They had almost been sprayed into turtles. Originally, when they bought the chairs and showed them off, many people praised them as tycoons. Now, those who couldn't afford the chairs were holding the words of Mechanical Pioneer as a holy command, gloating and mocking them.
Ten minutes later, the Master of Ingenuity came to report that what Ye Qing needed had been prepared.
At this time, the number of viewers had already increased to over 400,000, all from various forums and Weibo.
These were real, solid data, with no zombie accounts.
Seeing that the number of viewers was growing more slowly, Ye Qing moved his fingers, activated the mute function for all users, and then posted a colored banner for the administrator.
"Open your eyes, the demonstration is starting."
After posting, Ye Qing turned off the mute function. The Master of Ingenuity, following the order, went to the warehouse, stood outside the video frame, and operated the two mechanical engineering chairs with an extension cable.
"Ha, I'm laughing so hard in front of my computer."
"The merchant is shameless. I want to see how you will whitewash this."
"Those who bought the mechanical engineering chairs are all dead B, I say."
After nearly half an hour of waiting for a static image, the scene finally moved.
Click, click~
A rhythmic sound of mechanical joints, transmitted through the condenser microphone, clearly reached the ears of all viewers.
The crazy bullet screens suddenly stopped, as the two mechanical engineering chairs started to move...
The main support arms swung rhythmically, like arms.
Click, click, click, click~
As the main support arm swung, the five secondary support arms of the mechanical engineering chairs made very flexible, human-like movements, like hands.
Stretch, curl!
The purely mechanical chairs, at this moment, were like boxers standing on a stage, ready to challenge a strong opponent, moving their hands rhythmically.
Over 400,000 viewers from countless forums and major Weibo accounts, who had gathered to watch the merchant's joke, were stunned by this huge transformation.
The two mechanical engineering chairs, fixed on the steel plate, actually... actually...
Instantly turned into the hands of a boxer, a transformation from ancient to future that no one had ever seen.
Ye Qing didn't activate the mute function, but at this moment, the bullet screens were completely blank, just like the brains of countless viewers.
The left mechanical engineering chair suddenly curled its five secondary mechanical arms and, in a very standard and professional posture, punched forward powerfully.
"Bang!"
Just as the viewers thought it was hitting the air, a dull sound reached everyone's ears.
The video frame then rotated, finally showing everyone the full details of the demonstration.
A punching bag!
A huge punching bag, sewn from cowhide and over two meters tall, was firmly installed on the steel frame in front.
"Bang!"
The right mechanical engineering chair also punched the huge punching bag from the side, in a very standard hook punch posture.
A very standard hook punch fighting posture.
To protect the human body, the five secondary mechanical arms of the mechanical engineering chair were limited in their curling angle. Now that Ye Qing had removed this restriction, the viewers finally saw what true technology was.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
The mechanical engineering chair had completely transformed into an angry boxer, throwing hooks, straight punches, jabs, and crosses.
Each clean and professional punch, hitting the punching bag, also pierced the hearts of all viewers like a sharp sword.
The huge punching bag swayed like a leaf in the wind.
The two mechanical chairs were the wind that made the leaf sway.
One minute passed, two minutes passed, five minutes passed...
The mechanical engineering chairs, like tireless boxers, angrily swung their fists at the opponent.
The water army hired by competing merchants, who had previously felt free to blacken, were now drenched in cold sweat, their hands trembling.
They desperately wanted to continue typing, using the well-prepared drafts to blacken and defame the mechanical engineering chairs.
However, their trembling hands and the unprecedented tension made it impossible for them to type even a single word.
Only the powerful "Bang!" "Bang!" sounds of the punching bag hitting.
Each punch made the hearts of all viewers beat.
Didn't they all say that the quality of the mechanical engineering chairs was bad?
Just a facade?
The aluminum alloy welding technology was substandard, and the material strength was low, making it easy to break?
Now, the two mechanical engineering chairs had completely shed their disguise, revealing a structure with a strong sci-fi and industrial feel.
In a way that no mechanical manufacturer, no power chair manufacturer, and no massage chair manufacturer had ever done, or even dared to do, they proved themselves.
Proving their quality, proving their dignity that could not be blackened.
No one knew how long it had been, but when the huge cowhide punching bag in the video began to show signs of tearing.
Finally...
The first complete comment bullet screen appeared.
"I apologize to the mechanical engineering chair and offer my most ridiculous dignity. I was paid to post, hired by the Mijies massage chair manufacturer. I will publish the details of the transaction online later."
This comment floated alone in the high-definition live stream. When it disappeared...
A flood of praise followed!
"I was wrong too. I'll go live and slap myself for you to see."
"666, I'm completely kneeling. The merchant's slap hurts so much."
"Mom asked why my face was swollen like a pig's head. I said it was because of the mechanical engineering chair."
"Ha~ You guys, why aren't you talking? Didn't you say that those who bought the mechanical engineering chair were all fools?"
"Please tell me loudly, who is the fool?"
"Me!" "Me!" "Me!" "Me!" "Me!" ...
"Where's the editor who wanted to give a big scoop?"
"I'm here, my legs are weak. I'll kneel for an hour first."
"Mind-blowing, mind-blowing. I'm only blessed with the mechanical engineering chair. The merchant was right; I've truly seen what true industry is."
"True industrial technology +1!"
"I'm going to order a mechanical engineering chair to calm down. In the future, if anyone blackens it, I'll use the mechanical engineering chair to slap them."
"Ha~ Chair ordered!"
"88,000, I'll work at a construction site for a hundred years to buy it!"
"Feeling proud, ha, Chinese products are great. The mechanical engineering chair is the best. From now on, if anyone blackens it, I'll show them this video."
"Right, right, I recorded it. I'll post it on major forums and slap those who blacken my mechanical engineering chair."
"Wait, everyone, calm down and listen to me. It was the Mechanical Pioneer who took money to blacken the mechanical engineering chair."
"Ah, burn him!"
