Mei Country is a free nationâat least this part is still free.
If an explosion occurs on the street, then a small group of conspiracy theorists will link it to other explosions, creating a grand backdrop for these seemingly unrelated explosive events to serve as an explanation...
And since the authorities usually say nothing about it, they often view it as a conspiracy by the Mei Country government, thinking they are hiding something!
Sometimes this idea is wrong, and even most of the time, most conspiracy theories are fabricated, but in this world? Definitely notâ
Transformers have been on Earth for many years, even the modern technology of this world is reverse-engineered from them, and two years ago, the battle of Transformers erupted into the city...
The Mei Country government still keeps silent, at most explaining it away as a gas explosion.
The more obvious the lie, the easier it is to see through; at this point, even those who didnât believe in conspiracy theories notice something amissâ
People want the truth, and truth became a demand, a demand... can make money.
An ambitious young man, grabbing truth with one hand and making big bucks with the other, this ambitious young man is named Leo, founder of the "Find the Truth for Ya" website.
Heâs now watching a very astonishing video...
This video is different from other eyewitnessesâ shots of the Transformer battle scenes: those videos are mainly explosions, and you can hardly see the real deal, after all, most people who got close enough to see the Transformers died, those who survived were either sworn to secrecy or were soldiers.
The Transformers in this video are incredibly clear!
And very small.
The video is so clear that even the structure can be seen distinctly...
[Doctor Doom: I have more videos like this, I even have these kinds of robots in my possession.]
[Doctor Doom: It took me quite a bit of effort to catch them. If you want to see more of such videos, we can mutually help each other.]
[Doctor Doom: Iâm studying them.]
These words are deeply imprinted in Leoâs mind: Doctor Doom, truly a genius!
Besides the combat video of the little robots and some blurry videos of Bumblebee, Lille also uploaded some structural videos and transformation videos of himself, and even used video technology to forge many scenes of other Transformersâ movements.
Incredibly real, real beyond imagination.
With these videos, Leo believes he can earn more and more money...
"Leo! Our membership exceeded 3,000!"
Schleski and Fassbender, the technicians of "Find the Truth for Ya," both had flushed faces:
Paid membership exceeding 3,000, each paying $29 per month, thatâs $90,000 a month!
And these are the paid members; the freeloaders have long surpassed 50,000, adding advertising fees, the monthly revenue has exceeded $100,000!
A freshman start-up company that hasnât even started school, with a monthly income of tens of thousands of US dollars!
"Great, Iâll give you a bonus this month!" Leo excitedly walked through the narrow corridor, then patted his good brothersâ shoulders, "But we also need to help Doctor Doom set up his warehouse.
You know what he bought? All are precision instruments, I checked, if you arenât a genuine tech expert, you wonât be able to handle it...
Unlike us amateurs..."
"I think weâre professionals..."
Leo glanced at Schleski who was speaking: "If you say so, but without this mysterious friend, we wouldnât have done so much."
"Haha, Mechanical Warrior is furious, saying our videos are fake!"
"Thatâs right! A gloomy tech nerd powerless in front of the computer because weâre more skilled, closer to the truth!"
Leo checked the time.
Today is the first day of school, freshmen need to move into their dorms today, and they have one last roommate who hasnât arrived.
But itâs not a problem: when you have a website generating a monthly cash flow of tens of thousands of US dollars to manage, who cares about their last roommate?
They even plan to rent an office building outside the school just to house the servers.
Today is when Doctor Doomâs equipment arrives here, he has to help this amiable old fellow, not the new roommateâ
Though it would be nice if the new roommate wants to join them.
Bang.
Leo walked to the door, just as it was opened.
Sam stood at the door holding a box, Leo looked at his last roommate...
Originally, he should probe if this kid is normal, but he decided to be straightforward:
"Welcome, thereâs only one room left in the dorm, itâs over there.
We are about to run a website generating a monthly income of $100,000, find an office building, move servers... do you want to join us?"
Sam was dumbfounded: "Awesome, my roommate is involved in pyramid schemes, on the first day of university, I joined a pyramid scheme company."
Leo, with a bank account flush with cash, disdainfully chuckled, shaking his head: "Many people spend their lives looking for opportunities, yet this opportunity might have long slipped by them."
After saying this, he laughed and walked past his employees and Sam.
Sam held the box, watched Leo swagger away from the dormitory, and kept whistling at the passing hotties...
"I want to change dorms..."
The phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
Sam picked up the phone, noticing a message from Lille:
[College life sounds nice, I want to go out for a walk.]
Sam froze for a moment, then put the carton on the table and started typing:
[Sam: Youâre a damn Transformer, and now youâre telling me you want to recapture the youthful vibe in school? No way.]
[Lille: Whatâs wrong with that, Iâm a phone, no one will notice me.]
[Sam: You might be picked up by a passing kind person and placed in the lost and found...]
[Lille: Then Iâll leave on my own, arenât you looking for a peaceful life? You can familiarize yourself with college, so my energy radiation doesnât make you feel violated by a Transformer.]
Sam felt speechless, surveying his surroundings: "Great, an alien wants to tour my college."
[Lille: Iâve always stressed Iâm a person, though with a metallic body. You might not believe it, but Iâm a doctor.]
"Right, right, Transformer doctor... you know what, do as you please, just donât cause trouble for me, or Iâll let Bumblebee... no wait, Iâll let Optimus Prime catch you."
[Lille: I mentioned I know my limits.]
"Are you sure you just want a look? I still donât think Transformers would be interested in anything here."
Lille found it a bit headache-inducing, this kidâs tough to fool.
He suddenly thought of a trick, using a voice very close to Johnnyâs from the speaker:
"There sure are a lot of hotties here, donât you think we should capture these wonderful times? The girl you just sent me was pretty good, big boobs, perky ass."
The voice wasnât too loud, but not quiet, somewhat like a phone on speaker mode.
This dormitory had mixed-gender housing, opposite Samâs dorm was the girlsâ dorm, and just then a girl walked out, glancing at Sam discreetlyâlooking quite disdainful.
Sam was extremely embarrassed.
"Youâre amazing."
The phone was placed on the ground and vibrated twice, Lille transformed into human form, jumped onto the window, and left the dormitory building.
Now heâs going to check out his laboratory.
