No matter where in the world you are, the popularity of the Internet is always changing rapidly.
It's only November 20th, less than half a month since Xia Chen's video was released, and the online discussion about the "ugly fish that can evolve without beautiful scales" has become much quieter.
First of all, the real owner Xia Chen has not responded, and naturally many netizens have taken it as his pix picture.
Secondly, at the end of the year, various heavyweight competitions have slowly begun to promote and build momentum, such as the eight masters tournament of the world championship, which gathers regional champions and has the most gold content.
The Eight Masters Tournament this time has gathered many experts and has been promoted by the media as the most valuable Eight Masters Tournament in recent years.
Adek, the winner of the last World Championships and known as the strongest champion.
Dandi swept the regional kings competition and became the Galar champion.
With a fierce and courageous fighting style, Sirona is a rising star in the Sinnoh region.
The upcoming World Championship has turned the attention of netizens from all regions to this much-anticipated gluttonous feast. The Meinas evolution event that has no beginning and no end is naturally not that eye-catching.
And the last reason for the decline in popularity of the event?
Recently, many experts have gradually emerged on the Internet to refute rumors about this video, including some old faces that Xia Chen had seen at the energy cube seminar.
The most representative one was the tall, lanky old man who once asked Xia Chen to provide evidence and said he was waiting for his paper.
As the second question guest invited by the host after Marlowe, the president of the World Breeders Association, the old man's status was definitely not low.
His name is Axel, the vice president of the Kalos Region Breeders Association.
Occupying a high position, Axel's words are naturally full of weight.
In a recent TV interview, he made sharp comments on Xia Chen's actions, both overtly and covertly.
…………
"I have found that some young people have had great misunderstandings about the profession of cultivators recently. They havetily come up with a theory based on some things that they have come up with. Even in order to confirm this theory, they have to go through some crooked ways. This is a way to deceive the world and try to impress people."
"Being a breeder is a profession that requires a high sense of responsibility, not only for the elves, but also for yourself. There are so many elves in this world that require specific props to evolve. How come a certain fish elf is special?"
"Cultivation is not blind training, and evolution is not chaos. You posted that irresponsible video to apologize to the ugly fish trainers around the world!"
"Speaking of evolution, in the first half of next year, we in the Kalos region and the Hezhu region will jointly research the evolutionary form of the Eevee fairy type. We at the Axel Research Institute will definitely inherit the spirit of cultivating the family."
…
After calmly watching the video that Xiaogang sent to him, Xia Chen didn't feel any emotion and even wanted to laugh a little.
The others could not be confirmed, but Xia Chen could confirm that Axel was definitely not one of the reviewers of "Elf Evolution" magazine.
Otherwise, you can't say such sarcastic remarks five days before the next issue of the magazine is released.
Over there, Xiaogang made a grinning expression like a big steel snake after sending the video.
"Damn it, I'm going to be tricked by your kid!"
There are very few people who know the entire progress of Xia Chen's research, and Xiaogang is one of them, so he made this comment.
Xia Chen gave Ibrahimovic a laughing expression and didn't say much.
Teacher Xiaogang, you still know too little. Not only can I pretend, but not just this time.
Recalling what the old man said at the end of the program, Xia Chen smiled slightly.
According to the information given by Sister Qian a few days ago, the research direction of Axel's laboratory is also focused on allowing Ibrahimovic to evolve at different times, and even dig deep into the ground to find the so-called fairy evolution stone.
If we continue to study in this direction, Axel's ending should be the same as that of a certain classic movie that an old artist promised to be co-produced by China and the United States in the second half of the year, but never ended.
Gee, I don’t know how many investors’ money will be wasted.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Xia Chen continued to study the exclusive information that Dr. Omu sent to him [on how to help elves master the power of awakening].
Compared to thinking about the old man who was destined to become his stepping stone, Xia Chen felt that Menas' training and nurturing was more important.
…………
But Dr. Omu and a few Xiaogang knew about Xia Chen's research process, and the outside world knew nothing about it.
Axel’s interview video went viral online, inexplicably.
This is a very unusual thing. You must know that the whole world is paying attention to the time when the World Championships start one month away, and almost everyone is discussing who will win this year.
Xia Chen even wondered if Xiaogang secretly bought hot searches behind his back.
Otherwise, who else would have this motive?
Axel simply vented his emotions and promoted his research on Eevee's new evolutionary type. He had no profit motive and there was no need to make this matter known to the entire Internet.
Dr. Omu told Xia Chen a more important data. A short period of time after Xia Chen's video was released, the market price and black market price of beautiful scales fell a lot.
After all, it is an elf prop worth tens of millions. If there is a choice, even if there is only a slight possibility, many Ugly Fish trainers are willing to wait and wait for other evolutionary paths of Menas to appear.
Obviously, those sellers who hold the resources of beautiful scales cannot sit still.
Although the matter had cooled down somewhat during this period, they felt it was not fast enough, so they took this opportunity to inflame this authoritative figure's criticism of Xia Chen.
After learning the truth of the matter, Xia Chen shook his head in confusion. Sure enough, behind every unusual thing, there was the operation of capital.
But this is nothing to worry about. It is just adding more fuel to the bomb that will detonate in a few days.
Free popularity is nothing if not in vain.
Xia Chen could only lament that there are still many good people in this world.
Thank you, stranger!
…………
The city gate caught fire, affecting the fish in the pond.
Xia Chen himself didn't have any thoughts. He hadn't posted a video on the p station account for a long time, but he became a victim after this incident became a hot topic.
Under the video of the evolution of the ugly fish that Xia Chen last posted half a month ago, the number of comments has increased by tens of thousands in the past few days.
Obviously, these sudden comments cannot all be posted by Xia Chen's fans. Most of them are passers-by who come to ridicule after hearing the news, and there are even some rhythmic trolls.
In addition, there are those who are cheating, fishing, eating melons, and those who "turn from pink to black" or "turn from pink to black"
For a moment, the comments section was filled with demons.
"As we all know, videos can't be copied, so this video is real!"
"What do you know! My pigeon master spends twenty-five hours a day studying the food of elves, how could he commit academic fraud!"
"Be wary of ichen's classic saying. Those who like elves are not bad people."
"I'm very disappointed. His fan has turned negative. I only followed him because of the cute Ibrahimovic and La Luras. I didn't expect his character to be so bad!"
"Haha, if it hadn't been exposed by the old breeder, I guess they would have started selling some so-called scam that allows the ugly fish to evolve into Menas without using beautiful scales, right?"
"Incense."
"Everyone remember to spit before leaving, bah!"
…………
Late at night, in a rental house.
In front of a dimly lit computer screen, a man was typing on the keyboard rapidly, and crackling sounds echoed one after another in the dark night.
He switched accounts skillfully, and comments from different angles, either normal or black, were born in his hands.
The long hours of work made his fingers a little sore. The man stopped, lit a cigarette, and subconsciously refreshed the web page.
A comment came to him within strike range.
"Master Pigeon, are you really not going to post a video to respond? In fact, I think it's okay. Master Pigeon's video didn't mention a word about the evolution of the ugly fish. The rhythm this time is so inexplicable."
The man clicked his tongue in his heart, he was right, but I still want to be negative.
After a moment's thought, the man's professional instinct caused him to send another crackling output a few seconds later.
"I caught an ichen upstairs. Although he didn't say it, wasn't the purpose of posting this video to make you fans think about it? Otherwise, what was his purpose of removing the beautiful scales?"
Today's trolls also need to pay attention to technical content. Unreasonable smear campaigns will only make passersby sympathize with the person being hacked.
Only comments like this that are nine percent true and one percent false can produce the best results.
Putting away the keyboard, the man blew out a smoke ring coolly, and then sent a message to a correspondent on Bogaman.
"Boss, it's done."
