"What you see on the big screen now is the main character of Kung Fu Detective, Dragon Chow. He is a Chinese-American mixed-race, and I believe everyone has seen that this character is inspired by the famous detective Sherlock Holmes and the most famous kung fu superstar in China, Li Long. However, note that this is not a simple mix, but a great re-creation ......"

Standing in the large conference room of the Crown Hotel in Texas, Alan Claude stood on the stage, looking at the more than 100 booksellers and bookstore representatives from all over the country below, and felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to be able to do this!

What about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Now even the comics published by the top three comic companies in the United States, such as Star Entertainment, Penguin Studios, and Origin Comics, are not as hot as the "Kung Fu Detective" in their hands, right?

Alan Claude thought of the tall Chinese young man in his mind again, and couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart: "Speaking of which, I really want to thank you for your Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, bastard, otherwise how could I climb so fast?" ”

Thinking of this, he pressed the controller in his hand again, and the picture on the big screen changed, and a picture of a city appeared.

"Kung Fu Detective" is a comic with extremely strong oriental elements, and it can be said that in this regard, it far surpasses all the comics on the market." Claude enjoyed standing in front of everyone and showing off his time, "You can see that the comics almost perfectly recreate the 19th century Chinatown, which is the first time in the history of comics that it ......"

At this time, a staff member of Pacific Comics walked in briskly from outside the conference room, with a somewhat anxious expression on his face.

Claude looked at the staff member, his face became a little unpleasant, but he didn't stop, still showing some information about "Kung Fu Detective" while explaining passionately.

The staff member walked briskly up to the podium, patted Claude lightly on the shoulder, and then whispered in his ear: "There's a little emergency, Claude editor-in-chief......"

Claude turned off the microphone and whispered to the staff in a slightly threatening tone, "Didn't you bastard see that I was hosting a press conference?" Are you trying to mess things up? If you don't want to pack up and get out of Pacific Comics, I'll disappear in front of my eyes immediately......"

Even in the face of Claude's anger, the staff member, driven by a sense of responsibility, still stubbornly said: "The server of the REDIT forum has just failed......"

Although Claude was arrogant, he still had some professional vigilance, and his heart became a little nervous when he heard the staff say this.

The staff member swallowed, then said, "All anonymous posts on the forum are now visible, which means that the whole of America can now see who made our anonymous posts!" ”

Claude was stunned for a moment, this was indeed a very sudden situation, but it was not without remedies.

"GET THE OUTREACH DEPARTMENT IN TOUCH WITH THE REDIT FORUM RIGHT AWAY, AND ON THE OTHER HAND, ARRANGE FOR SOMEONE TO DELETE THE POST IMMEDIATELY......," CLAUDE QUICKLY INSTRUCTED, "NOW, YOU CAN GET DOWN HERE." ”

Although the staff has a lot of dissatisfaction, they understand that the current executive editor-in-chief is a big celebrity in front of the board of directors, and he can't afford to offend, so he can only secretly scold a few words in his heart, and then he still has to honestly follow the instructions.

Claude was actually quite alert to this unexpected situation, even if he made a series of arrangements, but he still felt that something was wrong in his heart, so he slightly accelerated the progress of the press conference and quickly finished telling the content that needed to be explained.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the first half of our press conference is over......," Claude pretended to be humorous, "and then, we will take a fifteen-minute break, during which the staff will hand out a preview version of Kung Fu Detective, and at the same time, from now on, we will start accepting orders from everyone...... Have a nice ...... you all."

With that, Claude hurried off the podium to a round of applause.

As soon as I went out, I saw the staff member coming over.

Claude stepped forward quickly, grabbed the other party's collar, and shouted in a low voice, "How is the situation now!" ”

"...... It has been restored, and the failure has only occurred for twenty minutes......" The staff was sweating, and it was obvious that he didn't expect the server failure to recover so quickly.

Claude let go of the staff and breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.

Twenty minutes? Shouldn't it be nothing, right?

He looked sideways into the conference room, where the booksellers were crammed together waving orders in their hands as if they were going crazy.

How many bookings can be added to this? Two hundred thousand? Or three hundred and fifty thousand?

Thinking of this, the unhappiness caused by the episode just now was thrown out of the clouds by Claude again.

But in reality, that's the biggest difference between a layouter and a bug.

The bugs are always triumphant and unaware, but the arranger is in control and laughs at everything.

"I still don't understand, Meng. You trade the electronic rights of your new comics for twenty minutes of anonymous display? Joe Smith kept shaking his head, his head had shaken enough these days that it was almost falling off.

"I've taken screenshots of all the posts that have attacked me anonymously." Meng Qi sat in front of the computer and said, "Can you see the connection between these poster IDs?" ”

Joe Smith became interested and said, "Three different IDs, but what is the connection between them?" Oh...... Do you see what's coming? Dear Meng, I knew you had a way to ......"

"No, I don't know what's connected with them......"

"Uh......"

"What we have to do is to make them connected...... Meng Qi laughed, "Do you have an account on the REDIT forum?" I'm going to make a post. ”

Smith said his account and said with some dissatisfaction: "I can't figure out what you're going to do again......"

"Just look at it......"

Meng Qi used Smith's account to log into the forum and then made a post anonymously.

Who was the man who attacked Frank Miller? Is plagiarism truth or a conspiracy? 》

"Thank God, thanks to the technical glitch of the forum, which freed me from the shackles of my own thinking and allowed me to stand on a higher angle and observe a thing. Before I get down to business, I'm going to make a little repentance, because I once firmly believed that Frank Miller was a shameful plagiarist, but now things have taken a subtle turn......"

Meng Qi's post had a very eye-catching beginning, and he was also eye-catching when he looked at Smith, and then, what Meng Qi did surprised him.

Meng Qi began to talk nonsense in the post that the three IDs were gunmen from "Cartoon Man" and Pacific Comics, and they may have been paying to do things and deliberately framing Frank Miller.

Of course, Meng Qi also has evidence, that is, the posting records of these three IDs. Meng Qi's screenshots are clever, and there are a lot of fictional things and language traps in the post.

All in all, there is only one core to Meng Qi's post: Frank Miller did not plagiarize at all, and it was all done by Pacific Comics.

"Oh my, you're all, Meng, we don't have any evidence at all......"

The moment Meng Qi clicked the release button, Smith shouted.

"Of course there is no evidence, if there is evidence, we can go directly to the court to sue them......" Meng Qi pouted and said.

"There's no point in you doing this......"

"You're wrong, Mr. Smith......" Meng Qi's expression finally became a little serious, "Humans are always curious animals...... I don't need to show the right evidence, I just need to arouse their curiosity, and they will find out what they want without asking whether it is right or wrong, indiscriminately, even if it is turning the Internet upside down. Rest assured, the internet will take care of everything. ”

Smith looked up at Meng Qi.

"In Huaxia, it's called doxing." Meng Qi stared at the computer screen and said, "I bet you, after half an hour, the Internet public opinion will slowly tilt to our side......"

"Why don't you just go for a hacker? It's so troublesome. Smith raised his own questions.

"First, hackers are illegal...... Meng Qi said seriously, "Second, you can't guarantee that you can dig up evidence if you really use hackers, if we can't find evidence, we still have to use this chess move...... In that case, why would I risk hacking against the law? ”

Smith felt that Meng Qi had made sense, and he was speechless for a while.

"Also, how do you know that there isn't a hacker with a lot of curiosity among netizens?"
