Chapter 1 The Perfectly Integrated Infiltration

Soon, Hu Xiao had everything arranged.

As soon as Feihuang Studio updated their review video, the hired online commenters would immediately flood the comments section and boost the likes.

If it were a new up-and-comer, the boosting would be even more obvious, since new up-and-comers don't have any fans.

Feihuang Studio already had a large following, so the hired commenters' comments might not be as noticeable.

But that didn't matter, as long as the moment the video was released, the commenters uniformly posted dozens or even hundreds of comments like, "I've used it, this thing is great, highly recommend," it would definitely be noticed.

Hu Xiao kept an eye on things, following Feihuang Studio, and checking their feed every so often.

Finally, the next day, Feihuang Studio actually released a video!

"Not bad, this 'Hardcore Review' guy has good intel."

"To have such a clear understanding of Feihuang Studio's situation, his intelligence gathering capabilities shouldn't be underestimated."

Hu Xiao increasingly felt that this up-and-comer "Hardcore Review" wasn't simple.

He looked closely and saw that the video's title was *A Day in the Life of a Great Inventor*, and one of the video's tags was "review."

"It really is a review video!"

Now that it was confirmed to be a review video, there was no problem. Hu Xiao immediately sent a message in the group, ordering the hired commenters to flood the comments section!

The content of the comments was exactly the same, all copy-pasted: "I've used it, this thing is great, highly recommend!"

They posted many comments, one after another.

Since Feihuang Studio already had a lot of fans, the comments also included some normal fan comments, such as:

"Back from the dead?"

"The missing person returns?"

"When will the next season of *President Pei's Daily Life* be filmed!"

"First!"

And other such comments.

Even so, the hired commenters' comments still made up the majority.

What's more, the commenters would repeatedly like other commenters' comments, so some of the top-ranked hot comments were all occupied by the commenters!

Hu Xiao looked at the results of his command of the hired commenters and couldn't help but feel a little proud.

So what if they have a lot of fans? They're still drowned in the tide of online commenters!

This kind of comment flooding actually had a big impact.

Similar review programs couldn't earn much money relying on the daily creative incentives from Aili Island. The main source of income was the sponsorships from gold master patrons, also known as "begging for food."

But if this video had a lot of hired commenter comments, and the kind that could be seen through at a glance, it would still affect their ability to "beg for food."

For fans, the review program they followed hiring online commenters and taking bad money would definitely affect the objectivity of the review, and some fans might unfollow.

And for the gold master patrons and sponsors, if this review program hired online commenters, would there be data fraud? If they went to this program to beg for food, would it not have the desired effect and instead damage their product's reputation?

These doubts could all have some adverse effects.

Of course, a mere handful of hired commenters wouldn't have a decisive impact on Feihuang Studio.

But in the end, it was a rather troublesome and thorny matter.

Hu Xiao patiently waited for a while, then planned to go to the video to see everyone's feedback.

According to Hu Xiao's estimate, there were only two possible scenarios.

The first was that, because the commenters' actions were too obvious, the audience would tear into them, and the comments section would be a mess.

This was what Hu Xiao was most happy to see.

The second was that Feihuang Studio would discover the hired commenters in time and begin mass deleting comments.

But no matter how many comments they deleted, there would always be someone who saw them, and the commenters were posting quickly, so maybe they could make a fuss about the comment deletion.

...

Two hours later.

"Almost time, let's see the results!"

Hu Xiao looked at the comments section of *A Day in the Life of a Great Inventor*.

After reading it, he fell into deep confusion.

What's going on?

They didn't start fighting?

There were even more people posting "I've used it, this thing is great, highly recommend"?

Hu Xiao was a little dazed.

Were the commenters still posting?

There was no reason for that. Commenters only did things for money, posting as many comments as they were paid for. How could they be so enthusiastic?

Then what was going on?

With confusion and bewilderment, Hu Xiao opened the video, wanting to find out.

...

...

On the screen was a young man with a blank expression.

"My name is Sun Aidi, English name Edison, and I'm a great inventor."

"This is my latest invention, the handheld portable washing machine."

The portable washing machine in the young man's hand appeared in the camera. It was a cylinder similar to a water cup, with a miniature brush head at the top, as well as a motor, battery, and water tank.

"It has a high-efficiency motor inside, which can drive the front brush head to vibrate rapidly and spray out an appropriate amount of water to wet the stained area."

"At this time, as long as you take out a little bit of laundry detergent that you've prepared in advance and pour it on the stain, and then repeatedly wash it with the portable washing machine, you can keep your clothes clean and fresh anytime, anywhere, and you don't have to worry about getting dirty things on them again!"

"I plan to immediately apply for a patent for my new invention. It should soon be able to be quickly put into production, receive rave reviews, explode in sales, obtain financing and go public, create a business empire, and reach the peak of my life!"

The scene changed to a restaurant.

Sitting across from Edison was a pretty girl. The two were eating.

"I'm eating with Xiaomei today, so I can take this opportunity to let her see my invention, so she will definitely admire me, adore me, and obey me!"

Edison deliberately shook his hand when clinking glasses, spilling a few drops of wine on Xiaomei's skirt.

"Oops!" Xiaomei quickly picked up the napkin next to her and prepared to wipe it off.

"Xiaomei, leave it to me!!"

Sun Aidi immediately took out the prepared portable washing machine and pressed the switch.

The head of the portable washing machine immediately began to vibrate rapidly, and water was squirting out.

The picture froze, and a close-up shot of the frozen expressions of everyone in the restaurant was taken.

Xiaomei was stunned for a moment, then picked up the phone on the table: "Hello? Is this 110?"

The scene changed to a roadside barbecue stand.

Sun Aidi was skewer after skewer while crying in his buddy's arms.

The buddy across from him kept comforting him: "It's okay, Aidi, Xiaomei just misunderstood you for a while, she will definitely forgive you!"

While eating, a piece of meat covered in grease dropped on his sleeve.

Sun Aidi's eyes widened instantly: "Don't move!! Leave it to me!!"

He took out the portable washing machine from his backpack again and reached for his buddy's oily sleeve.

His buddy looked shocked: "Aidi! Is this your new invention, the portable washing machine? It's a big help! Quick, quick, help me clean it!"

Sun Aidi was instantly full of motivation, and struck several poses with the portable washing machine.

After a while, Sun Aidi thought of something: "Did you... bring laundry detergent?"

His buddy: "?"

Sun Aidi: "This kind of stubborn stain with oil, you must use laundry detergent to wash it clean, did you bring it?"

"Or, soap will also work."

His buddy: "???"

After a few scenes.

Sun Aidi collapsed on his sofa.

"My name is Sun Aidi, English name Edison, and I'm a great inventor."

"I made an invention that can change the world, but it is not understood."

"If you are interested in my invention, please be sure to contact me."

"We will definitely be able to quickly put it into production, receive rave reviews, explode in sales, obtain financing and go public, create a business empire, and reach the peak of my life!"

...

...

Looking at the barrage and comments section again.

"Is this Feihuang Studio's new program? It's so interesting!"

"Hahahaha, it really has the same taste!"

"Who added the 'review' tag to this video? LOL!"

"This washing machine is really useful, where can I buy it?"

"Followed, as long as you don't invent useful things, I will keep following you!"

"I've used it, this thing is great, highly recommend!"

"I've used it, this thing is great, highly recommend! +1"

Whether it was in the hot comments or the barrage, this sentence appeared uniformly, triggering a lot of followers.

Hu Xiao scratched his head blankly.

What's going on?

Where are my commenters?

I hired so many commenters!

How did they perfectly integrate into the audience comments without causing any ripples at all?

Looking back at the cause and effect, Hu Xiao sent a message to "Hardcore Review" with a question: "Bro, which side are you on?"
