CH 58.2

I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 58.2

She said, "Your scripts also have plotholes. For example, in this script, your heroine is set to be a kind, lively and a little confused robot, and there are several scenes revolving around forgetfulness, but sometimes they’re contradictory. You robots have chips in their brains, so you can never forget things. If the protagonist were a human, she could even have different types of forgetfulness based on the circumstance. For example, for a girl in love, her IQ can drop to a negative number, but if her significant other has any signs of cheating, her IQ will soar to above two hundred. And even a girl with a delicate mind, she can't remember all the paths she has traveled, but she can remember the chat records of her significant other and the suspected ambiguous woman five years ago. You see, human emotions are so complicated, you robot screenwriters can't write it, because you can't experience it..."

Lin Xinghe added, "Since your emotions are still undeveloped, you might as well make this point to the extreme, so that you can distance yourself from your competitors from the script."

Lin Xinghe asked again, "Do you mind if I revise the script? I’ll just change a few paragraphs."

Haywood's brain had already processed and digested Lin Xinghe's words, causing it to think, and it immediately said, "Of course."

Lin Xinghe changed a few paragraphs immediately and improvised in front of Haywood.

Haywood immediately felt the difference between real humans and robots, especially in acting talent. It originally thought that Nina was good enough, but now that it saw Lin Xinghe, it completely understood a human idiom - the difference between the sky and the abyss.

Haywood took Lin Xinghe to the company.

Lin Xinghe's performance immediately persuaded the company's executives, who allowed Haywood to manage the newcomer.

Soon, Lin Xinghe was pulled by Haywood to shoot a short film that was put on a prime-time commercial.

The retro-styled Galaxy robot* had firmly attracted the attention of the public. Although it was an old robot, its life experience and background touched many audiences.

Its wonderful performance in the short film was an instant fan favorite.

The speed of information dissemination in the mechanical age was unimaginably fast. The advertisements were put up one night, and people on the street the next morning already knew the name of the Galaxy Robot. Even the landlady of Comrade Xiaopu was watching Xinghe’s  short film.

"I didn't expect an old robot's performance to be so contagious. I felt like I would short circuit in an instant."

"Hey, that’s not old, can you talk? That's called retro."

"Looking at Xinghe, I also want to change my head to retro."

"I don't know what model Xinghe's head is?"

"It's already sold out, don't ask, you can't buy it even if you do ask. Now, you can only customize it. I used to dislike my grandmother's inability to keep up with the trend. I thought it was old-fashioned. The latest type of head is light, compact and has many functions. Now I know that I am indeed a small fish.** The price of my grandmother’s head has doubled by ten times.

"I'm officially off Nina! Nina is a small fish compared to Xinghe!"

"Ah, I want to know where to buy Galaxy’s sound card? Is it advanced customization? It costs a lot of money for such an aura of sound? Or is there a big tech giant behind it? I also want to buy a sound card like this!"

...

As soon as the Galaxy Robot debuted, it did not have any works, and only appeared in a short film, which caused a heated discussion.

Haywood was clear in his heart.

This was no accident.

This was inevitable.

Robots had been imitating the human entertainment world and pursuing the human spirit of entertainment, although no one was willing to admit that.

Galaxy Robot was not a robot at all; she was a human.

This was the difference between a genuine product and a substitute.

If the Galaxy Robot were not popular, there would be no logic in this world.

Under Haywood's arrangement, Lin Xinghe owned a high-end apartment and had legal citizenship. She found that the citizenship here was similar to the passports and identification of first-tier cities in her before-novel. People in the slums crowded their heads to get citizenship. After she contributed to the city of machines, her miserable life in the slums ended. Someone from the Citizenship Bureau of the City of Machinese approached Haywood and said that they could provide Lin Xinghe with a citizenship.

Lin Xinghe didn't even show up. With the help of Haywood, she easily acquired the legal citizenship of the City of Machines.

And at the same time.

Outside the gate of the City of Machines, the mermaid tribe was ushered in.

When they left the sea and set foot on the land of the City of Mechanics, their beautiful fish tails turned into straight and slender legs.

The leader was a tall man with a slender figure. He raised his eyebrows, and looked around with clear eyes

He was wearing the gorgeous costume of the mermaid clan, and he was playing with a string of unpolished beads in his hand.

If you got close, you could still smell the smell of fish bones.

The mermaid beside him glanced, tremblingly stepped forward, and said to the robot guarding the gate: "I... our new city lord specially prepared a generous gift to celebrate the birthday of Andrew, please tell Andrew to let us in. ."

TL Notes:

* Xinghe’s name means Galaxy, so here, they use the meaning of the characters of her name to advertise her robot persona.

**This comes from the English idiom “bigger fish to fry”
