Internet Celebrity!
Before the hype died down, Chen Mo released a video montage of all the tests on the Knight SUV, including speed, off-road capability, and bulletproof performance. The Knight's various performance characteristics were fully demonstrated under professional testing, causing a huge uproar on the internet, with many netizens exclaiming that it was impossible!
"This is so fake!"
"I guarantee it! This is definitely not a car!"
"It felt like watching a sci-fi movie, so good! I want the whole series!"
"If the scene doesn't speed up, I'll eat this car!"
For most people, a car with super bulletproof performance is acceptable, and strong off-road capability is also acceptable. After all, it is a bulletproof off-road vehicle. It's just that its appearance is not as bulky, heavy, or rugged as ordinary bulletproof or hardcore off-road vehicles.
But! How could its speed performance be so abnormal?!
Judging from the video, its powerful acceleration and top speed are comparable to many top-tier sports cars, so this must be fake! The video must have been sped up!
Moreover, the chassis lifting capability is too exaggerated, which has shocked many people and made them even more suspicious that this was not filmed with a single car.
Almost no one believed the video's authenticity; in fact, many people cursed Chen Mo in the comments, calling him a profiteer who posted false advertisements and deceived consumers!
This has once again thrust Chen Mo, who had just gained considerable attention due to the attack, into the spotlight.
However, Chen Mo's Twitter followers did not decrease but increased. The shooting incident was still in the spotlight and the number of followers following the news and attack videos continued to grow.
While the Knight SUV's test video has been questioned by many, quite a few people are still impressed by the powerful off-road capabilities shown in the video, as well as the strong defensive capabilities that remain intact despite being riddled with bullet holes from continuous machine gun fire. Even the speed test, which has been questioned, has captivated many viewers.
In fact, a careful observation reveals that the video was not sped up at all. Details such as the rhythm of the car's movement when starting and braking, the speed at which the white smoke from the tires rubs against the ground dissipates, and the shaking of surrounding objects all prove the authenticity of the video. At most, they might think that the speed data has been exaggerated.
Even so, judging from the performance of this car in the video, it is already comparable to most top-tier sports cars. Even if the speed and performance data are exaggerated, they are still quite close.
While the equally controversial chassis lift function is somewhat exaggerated and far superior to other models, its powerful lifting capability is not so unacceptable when combined with the car's ridiculously strong performance.
Some observant people also noticed that in the first video, as the car rushed towards the fallen tree trunk, its chassis was also rapidly rising. By the time it made contact with the tree trunk, the chassis was already very high, which is why it was able to overcome the obstacle so easily.
This directly proves the authenticity of the chassis adjustment function, and also explains to some extent why this vehicle can possess both strong off-road capabilities and super speed.
Moreover, any rational person would realize that as the owner of this company and a billionaire, Chen Mo would not actually fabricate or deceive the Volkswagen. Such a lie would be easily exposed. People who want to buy a car will definitely test drive it themselves before making a purchase. If they discover that he is lying, they will not only refuse to buy it, but may even sue him in court. Therefore, deceiving the public would not benefit him at all.
So even though the video was full of controversy, it still brought Chen Mo a lot of fans. The growth rate of Chen Mo's fans not only did not slow down, but even became much faster than before.
By evening, just one day after the attack, Chen Mo's Twitter had reached two million, thanks to extensive coverage on television, newspapers, and online media, as well as the combined effect of the two videos he posted!
With a fan base comparable to some third-tier celebrities, Chen Mo experienced what it felt like to become an overnight sensation. Well, Chen Mo's feeling was... well, nothing really.
Of course, these fans who follow him can't compare to the fans of real celebrities.
Chen Mo only experienced an attack, killed six armed thugs, and became famous in the news. Coupled with the two eye-catching videos he released and his identity as a young billionaire, he attracted a large number of people's attention. However, the loyalty of these fans was very low, and their attention was mainly for the "Knight" off-road vehicle.
Chen Mo is currently just an "internet celebrity" at best. If he doesn't make any moves later, his two million followers will soon be gone, and what's left will just be zombie followers.
However, Chen Mo didn't care about these things. He had hundreds of millions of fans in the Iron Man world, and he was a high-ranking member and controller of several major organizations. He even served as Divine Emperor in the Underworld world, with hundreds of millions of followers. He didn't really care about fans or attention as much as others did.
This Twitter was only opened to promote the "Knight" off-road vehicle, and it works similarly to Weibo in China.
Looking at the more than two million followers on Twitter, Chen Mo couldn't help but think of the Weibo account he opened back then, which seemed to have less than a hundred followers. Apart from a group of strangers asking to follow each other, there were only a few classmates and colleagues.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo couldn't help but want to check the status of his Weibo.
Fortunately, J.A.R.V.I.S. was there, so Chen Mo didn't have to worry about leaving any traces and being discovered.
Looking at the familiar Weibo interface, along with the familiar names and avatars, Chen Mo couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu, as if these things were from a very long time ago.
It's not surprising, really. Although only two months have passed in the real world, more than ten years have passed in the three worlds combined. If Chen Mo n't have an exceptional memory, he probably wouldn't remember his account password and these familiar people.
However, he probably won't have any contact with these people again in the future. After all, the "Chen Mo" of the past is "dead". The current one is Black Chen, United States billionaire, the owner of S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company, and a completely different person!
With mixed feelings, Chen Mo casually browsed through his friends' posts and found that they were no different from before. They posted pictures of food, selfies, and shared their lives, feelings, and insights. Several people also shared the news that the surviving passengers from the crashed plane had been found. Of course, some people also mentioned Chen Mo.
Chen Mo casually scrolled through a few pages before stopping, somewhat disinterested. These people and things that he used to know now seemed to be separated from him by an insurmountable chasm. No matter what others posted, he could no longer leave comments or replies, because he was already "dead"!
