Chapter 62 Huh? You? Get on the mic!
[90 minutes until the end of the world]
Xu Yuan arrived at the Star City TV studio.
A camera crew and a host were already prepared here.
However, unlike before, the studio's style was different this time. The previous colorful and vibrant atmosphere was replaced by a solemn atmosphere with alternating shades of gray, white, and black.
The host is a male host from Daxia TV Station.
He had already received the notification and relevant information.
His expression was unusually serious at this moment.
He knew very well that whatever fate awaited humanity, his interview would be recorded in the annals of civilization.
If humanity were to perish, this would be the last interview in the history of human civilization.
If humanity weathers this crisis safely, then...
Human civilization will enter a brand new era!
He was the first person to interview "God"!
"Mr. Wish," he took a deep breath, discarding all pretentious titles from his mind and choosing the most solemn one, "may we begin?"
Xu Yuan nodded calmly.
As the camera is powered on, the microphone is in place.
In that instant, all the television stations in the entire Great Xia switched to broadcast studio footage.
Because of the more than 20 hours of pre-event promotion, all the people of Daxia were already waiting in front of the TV.
Or rather, it wasn't just the Bactrians.
Some "smart people" overseas have already been watching Da Xia's channels through various means.
"Mr. Xu Yuan, welcome to this episode of Focus Interview..."
"Next is the first question that all viewers are concerned about: was the destruction of the X Country headquarters your doing?"
"Yes."
"Then why did you do that?"
"Because they were the first to lay a hand on my family..."
You can make a wish and express yourself freely, but as a host, you can't.
The host had already planned the order of the questions to be asked in the interview.
Currently, all the controversies surrounding Xu Yuan revolve around his indiscriminate killing of innocent people.
The first question posed by the host completely revealed the whole story to the audience.
When these previously suppressed truths are laid bare before everyone.
The audience watching the television immediately erupted in outrage.
Of course, these opinions were divided into two camps.
Radicals believe that Xu Yuan did nothing wrong; after all, why would you kill someone's entire family for no reason?
The people of Daxia hate two things the most.
One of them is killing the whole family.
As for the other point...
That is the view of the conservatives.
Conservatives believe that radicals are too conservative. If they were in the position of making a wish, they would not only seek revenge, but would also make the other side imitate Fang Xiaoru and exterminate their entire family.
As for overseas...
Those "smart people" were speechless.
Sure enough, it was those idiots who caused the trouble again.
"Okay, the second question is, people online call you the God of Wishes, do you consider yourself a god?"
Xu Yuan scratched his head, inexplicably remembering the four guys in his dream.
That's so lame!
"No, I have never been a god." His voice was clear and firm. "I am just an ordinary person who was lucky enough to gain some... relatively strong fighting power. I would accompany my dad to the market to bargain, and I would also worry about my sister failing her high school entrance exam."
The host's smile was somewhat stiff.
No, this isn't what I expected.
It is said that the purpose of this interview was to create a god.
It's normal to make a wish not to call yourself a god, and it's also normal to call yourself a human being.
But for someone like you... an ordinary person is going too far!
But this overly authentic "ordinariness" actually brought a knowing smile to countless viewers in front of the screen, giving rise to a wonderful sense of intimacy and identification.
"So, let's ask the next question that everyone's interested in, about that percentage in the sky..."
Xu Yuan didn't feel any psychological burden, as he had already discussed these issues with Bei Wei before coming.
It's a good opportunity to say it myself.
"As far as I know, human civilization is about to face two challenges. The first is the impending arrival of the alien fleet; once the countdown ends, the fleet will arrive. The second is that some extraterrestrial evil gods will infect humans with extreme emotions as their carriers..."
"...After being infected, their entire mind and spirit undergo a transformation, turning them into monsters who only know destruction and spreading despair..."
"The infected's goal is to erode all of human civilization, turning it into a breeding ground for monsters..."
The interview program gradually reached its climax.
Xu Yuan could clearly feel that, as the interview program aired, he was receiving a continuous boost of faith, and this boost was growing exponentially...
However, so far, no second mental connection channel has appeared.
"You said that after being infected, one will turn into a monster. Have you ever seen such an infected being?"
"Yes……"
"Every previous percentage decrease was due to the elimination of an infected individual..."
Xu Yuan nodded.
Memories of the infected surfaced in his mind.
Cheng Yong, Wang Yuan, Zhang Quanfu, Edward, Li Dawei, Zhao Guoqiang...
"I have seen people fall because of endless desires, and people be corrupted by their obsession with their loved ones that they cannot let go of... I have also seen the purest warriors, in order to save their comrades from monsters, be tainted by the power of war and slaughter, and in the end... in the final stage, for the sake of human civilization, choose the fate of a warrior."
He didn't say Zhao Guoqiang's name, but the tragedy and sacrifice he conveyed struck the hearts of every viewer through the screen.
For the audience, it turns out that Xu Yuan had been protecting them on an unseen front all along...
Xu Yuan's expression was somewhat strange.
If his senses are correct, a second stable mental connection is probably about to appear...
"Since you've mentioned power," the host astutely seized the key point, asking the question the world yearned to know the answer to, "then, is it possible for others to also obtain the power, like yours, to protect themselves and civilization?"
"Yes," Xu Yuan replied firmly, "After overcoming this crisis, the government will soon establish the 'Spirit of Ancestral Temple,' which will be the starting point of hope..."
……
[60 minutes until the end of the world]
In Lao Xu's live stream room.
The moment he started his live stream, hundreds of thousands of people flooded into the room, and the number of people was multiplying every second.
When a living "superman" enters the public eye, the level of discussion and curiosity it generates is unprecedented.
Moreover, this time there is official guidance as well.
But beyond the issues discussed in news interviews, viewers in front of their televisions have even more questions they want to know and understand.
News interviews don't offer the option to send or read comments, leaving viewers with only one choice.
Lao Xu's live stream.
Fortunately, Beiwei, acting in an official capacity, contacted the platform and mobilized all server resources to support Lao Xu.
That's what prevented the live stream from crashing.
"Old Xu, may God have done the right thing! Those uncivilized bastards should have their entire families wiped out!"
"Uncle Xu, I wonder if the God of Wishes has a girlfriend? If so, would you mind having one more...?"
"If God desires a boyfriend, so can I..."
"If I could be the girlfriend of the god of wishes, I'd be willing to drive a luxury car and live in a villa..."
"I'm different. I think Old Xu still has her charm..."
Watching the comments scroll by rapidly, Lao Xu was both amused and exasperated.
These young people really know how to create something interesting...
Fortunately, these comments show that Xiaoyuan has truly gained recognition.
However, I'm not starting my own livestream just to hear their praise...
Amidst the rapidly flashing barrage of comments, Lao Xu finally managed to spot a particularly glaring one.
[If there's a way to gain power, why not make it public? What's with this ridiculous "Spark Academy" and making his academically challenged sister the principal? Isn't it just a way to create a monopoly and maintain a facade of virtue? A bunch of fools who've been sold out and are still helping the seller count the money!]
Old Xu's eyes lit up.
This is a classic example of someone who is both stupid and wicked.
"Huh? You! Damn it! Get on the mic!"
