Chapter 173 Attack Mode Dou Dou (8000 words, two-in-one mega chapter)_3
"Haha, Yu still has the same temper, huh. Alright, it's settled then. Send me the account, and I'll arrange for someone to take care of it right away. Don't worry, Yu, we will definitely promote this vigorously on our end."
"Then I have to thank Wen. If by any chance you come to Shen Zhou, do let me know, and I'll make the arrangements."
"You're too polite, Yu. You visit the Capital more often, so when you do, we'll have a proper drink together."
"Okay, that's settled then. Hanging up now."
"Alright!"
After hanging up the phone, Yu Hongwei sent over the account that Su Mucheng had registered.
Of course, he was still sighing in his heart. He really needed to communicate more with Xilin.
He couldn't believe he had been unaware of such a great thing.
...
Xilin University of Technology's laboratory building.
Qiao Ze was seriously modifying Dou Dou's code.
Su Mucheng brought over a stool and sat next to him, watching earnestly. Although she didn't quite understand what was on the screen, she loved watching Qiao Ze work seriously.
Even doing nothing and just quietly watching Qiao's hands dance on the keyboard was an extremely happy thing for her.
Especially when Qiao Ze's slender fingers tapped on the keyboard; it was exceptionally beautiful, like a pianist playing an elegant movement.
At that moment, she even felt a tickle in her brain, as if she was sprouting new brain cells again.
Unfortunately, this beautiful moment was interrupted by a phone call.
Seeing that it was a call from the Capital, Su Mucheng had intended to hang up directly, but then she remembered the favor she had just asked of Yu Hongwei and got up quietly and left the office.
As expected, it was a call from Weibo.
The other party claimed to be a senior customer manager from Weibo and was extremely enthusiastic. They not only agreed to all her requests but even provided a series of privileges proactively.
For example, artificial intelligence authentication and even specially offered an exclusive color badge for this authentication—a purple V that Weibo had never used before.
This also made Su Mucheng quite excited. Indeed, Yu's clout was significant. She decided that the next time Yu came to Xilin, she would definitely treat this big shot to some roasted lamb legs from the shop outside the west gate of the school.
After hanging up the phone, the young girl happily returned to the office to share the good news.
"Qiao, I just got a call from someone at Weibo, and they gave Dou Dou a purple V badge. Oh, right, you don't use Weibo, so you probably don't know. Weibo didn't have a purple V before. It's unique and even comes with privileges. It represents that Dou Dou is artificial intelligence. We should really thank Yu next time he comes."
Qiao Ze looked up at Su Mucheng and asked, "Thank him for what?"
"Uh... actually, it was me who asked him to contact Weibo to get some privileges for Dou Dou."
Qiao Ze silently watched Su Mucheng for two seconds, then replied, "You could have contacted Weibo directly, and they would have given you the same privileges."
"Huh?" Su Mucheng was slightly stunned.
"As the first artificial intelligence to be featured on a public platform, Weibo is essentially enjoying the potential traffic for free. If the officials there have any sense, they would not only give certain privileges but also take the initiative to promote and drive traffic to Dou Dou," Qiao Ze explained.
Su Mucheng blinked. Alright, she knew it was just an illusion that she felt like she was getting smarter.
Why didn't she think of such a simple truth? These apps live off traffic, don't they?
"Um... did we lose out then?" Su Mucheng tentatively probed, feeling stupid.
"Not really, it was just a casual project, you know I'm not good at programming," Qiao Ze casually responded.
"So, am I really stupid?" Su Mucheng said with a downcast face as she sat back down next to Qiao Ze.
She suddenly remembered that just after expressing her thoughts on WeChat, Yu had specifically asked if it was urgent; if not urgent, it could wait until he arrived in Xilin to talk.
She should have realized then that things weren't that simple.
In the end, she was just too hurried.
Of course, Su Mucheng didn't realize that actually being with Qiao Ze for so long had made her not think of Dou Dou as anything particularly advanced.
Qiao Ze replied, "It's normal to be silly occasionally; I am too. Strictly speaking, this isn't being silly, asking Yu Hongwei to help you could save you a lot of communication time."
The lab once again fell into silence, with only the "tap tap" of hands on the keyboard.
Fortunately, Su Mucheng was naturally cheerful and easily forgave herself, though Yu Hongwei in Shen Zhou had no idea that the roasted lamb legs that awaited him were now off the table.
Just like that, about twenty minutes later, the typing on the keyboard ceased.
After checking one last time, Qiao Ze said, "That should do it."
"That's it?" Su Mucheng was a bit surprised. Thinking of Dou Dou's previous responses and looking at the three slightly shabby servers in the lab, she asked with a bit of worry, "If a lot of netizens interact with Dou Dou at the same time, won't it fail to respond in time?"
"The cache is hosted on You Wei Cloud, and most of the computational load will also use the GPU on You Wei Cloud for distributed computing. It should be able to handle interactions with up to a million netizens without any problems," Qiao Ze simply explained.
"A million-level, that should be enough," Su Mucheng remarked, then quickly ran to her own seat and issued a new task to Dou Dou.
What can I say, Youwei is quite generous.
Ever since the two parties reached cooperation on the Qunzhi Framework, Qiao Ze's former account could be used to access the You Wei Cloud servers virtually without limitations.
"All done, shall we head back?"
"Yeah," Qiao Ze nodded.
"How about we don't go back to the dorm tonight and go to your place instead? You promised Auntie Lu the other day that we would keep her company."
