400: China's ban

Number one! Number one!!

When the audience in China saw this thrilling sight, everyone immediately jumped to their feet!!

This kind of dramatic, last-minute, desperate comeback was exactly like a scene from a movie.

But everyone knew this was not movie drama; this was genuine reality!

The vote difference between the two was only a little over three thousand votes.

Keep in mind, a margin of three thousand votes was negligible in the face of billions of total votes. No one expected the final result to be so close.

Three thousand votes could be decided in the blink of an eye.

A little later, or perhaps a little earlier, the rankings might have been different.

After all, Skema gained fame earlier than Su Yu, and before this, based purely on recognition and representative works, Skema was more widely known.

For Su Yu to achieve what he did today, besides his own outstanding abilities, the Brain-Computer Interface Technology played a decisive role in the final voting.

If he hadn't completed that globally shocking experiment with Cai Shi live today, Su Yu estimated he would most likely have only taken second place.

Successfully claiming the crown was extremely lucky!

Of course, without his livestream drawing the attention of global audiences, he wouldn't have been able to achieve this ranking either.

“That was too exciting! The comeback in the last few seconds was incredible.”

“I wonder what Mr. Skema's mood was like when he saw the final vote count?”

“Just three thousand votes! This is destiny that cannot be defied.”

“I feel like if the voting period had lasted a little longer, the Streamer's chances of winning would have been even greater. After all, most of the subsequent votes were from his fans!”

The viewers in the livestream room were right.

Indeed, during the crucial final day of voting, judging by the average vote increase per minute, Su Yu clearly had the upper hand.

To be able to overturn an initial deficit of nearly a billion votes, he is probably the only person in the world today who could have done it.

Skema, who failed to hold onto the number one throne at the very end, quickly posted an update on his social media.

“Congratulations to Su Yu, Mr. Su of China! He successfully secured the number one ranking.”

“China is blessed with brilliant people and resources, and the rapid development of its technology is breathtaking.”

“If there is an opportunity, I hope to communicate and exchange ideas with Mr. Su again. Perhaps the difficulties we encountered with Cryogenic Storage can also be resolved.”

Skema's post began with congratulations.

He indicated that he had actually been following the matter all along.

What happened next was beyond everyone's expectations: this top figure in the tech world was not only not angered that the ranking he should have won was snatched away.

Instead, he extended a friendly inquiry to Su Yu, hoping the other party could assist him in the construction of the Cryogenic Storage.

Look!

That is what you call perspective!

This is perspective!

Compared to Bezos, who was originally ranked second and is now third, Skema's magnanimity and demeanor were worlds apart.

When the final vote results were announced, Bezos was already furious, fuming from every pore.

He furiously complained on the internet about how fake and unfair this voting ranking was.

“This vote was a completely random mess! It's obvious that whichever country has more people has the advantage!”

“If China didn't have a full 1.4 billion people, that kid wouldn't have been able to surpass me, let alone surpass Skema to become number one!”

When netizens saw this comment, they immediately replied with angry rebuttals.

“Have some shame? Look at how many votes you actually received in the end? You didn't even get a fraction of the Streamer's votes, and you dare to complain about unfairness here?”

“Exactly! Even if Brother Su deducted 1.4 billion votes, wouldn't he still crush you and remain in second place?”

“That's hilarious, now he's trying to argue about population size. What of it? We in China have a large population! If you don't like it, bite me! Who was it that was buying votes online before? You bought so many votes and only got third place—how embarrassing.”

“Did Bezos get his brain caught in a door? How could he say something like that? If he keeps this up, I'm going to suspect that his memories were also transferred out of his brain; the more I look, the more he resembles a robot.”

“No, I feel like he's even worse than a robot.”

At first, Bezos thought those criticizing him were all foreigners, but to his surprise, when he clicked on the comments, he found that the majority of those angrily blasting him were his own countrymen!

These people had even voted for Su Yu.

This only made him angrier.

As the USA, a superpower with the world's number one comprehensive strength, people initially thought this vote was simply an event tailored specifically for Skema.

Everyone was just going through the motions, as the result was already predetermined.

No one expected the final outcome to be this way.

Inside China.

The moment the rankings were released, the People's Daily, China War Net, and major new media outlets had already prepared celebratory announcements.

They were all released in a torrent, almost simultaneously.

“Congratulations to Su Yu for winning first place in the final vote for the World's Most Influential Person!”

“Showcasing the Brain-Computer Interface, demonstrating the mechanical body, illuminating the prestige of China!”

“Warm congratulations on the release of the World's Most Influential Person ranking! The world's top Streamer, Su Yu, successfully lived up to expectations and clinched the number one spot!”

“The technology of a great nation is rising! We hope China will one day use technology to change the world!”

Thus.

This massive, super spectacle successfully selected the number one person, voted for by global audiences.

The young scientist from China, Su Yu!

This will also be a great event recorded in history.

China had always lacked such a definitive opportunity to hold its head high.

Today, Su Yu's appearance let everyone know that this Eastern giant would no longer merely conceal its strength.

Their technological level has reached a point sufficient to change the world order.

Just imagine a technology that can make human life permanent. How many greedy wolves and tigers would flock to it?

As the saying goes, an innocent man is guilty only by possessing a treasure.

China, possessing such advanced technology, will now become a thorn in the side of countless nations following this grand ceremony.

And Cai Shi, the first human in history to achieve eternal life, has also been targeted by hackers worldwide.

If they could somehow obtain him, or extract more clues and information from him.

Perhaps they too could one day crack the technology involved.

However, in response, China immediately issued a serious public statement.

Su Yu's actions were carried out with the authorization of the state before the experiment could proceed.

But starting today, it will be impossible to use this technology on a large scale.

For the sake of world peace, the technology will be temporarily sealed!
