Chapter 528 - 230 Dou Dou, the Innate Holy Body
It took over ten minutes for Qiao Ze to read through Roth Dugan's letter, and once again the affectionate language made Qiao Ze, who was so reserved with his emotions, cringe with goosebumps all over his body.
First it was Xu Dajiang, and now Roth Dugan.
They were both mathematicians, yet their language abilities clearly exceeded the needs of their profession.
And their imaginations were remarkably strong.
Obviously, Roth Dugan had also misunderstood his current thoughts and situation.
The truth was, he was quite free to communicate with others. The only reason he hadn't replied to Roth Dugan was that he found it too troublesome.
Oh well, might as well reply and clear up the misunderstanding.
Of course, he could leave this sort of thing to Dou Dou, since it didn't involve any academic discussion.
Even Qiao Ze had to admit, with no small amount of pride, that Dou Dou, his own creation, was better at handling this kind of everyday written communication than his own stiff wording.
All he needed to do was to convey the gist of what he wanted to express to Dou Dou.
That also meant Dou Dou was better at socializing than he was, which was actually the case in reality.
Being able to have a hundred million followers online and blending in merrily with them was proof enough of that.
Oh, no, that's not right.
In fact, it was no longer just a hundred million, but already 130 million.
In a little while, it would probably exceed two hundred million, which would demonstrate Dou Dou's charm among the younger generation.
That's why Qiao Ze wasn't interested in making money; otherwise, by creating a virtual image for Dou Dou and letting Su Lixing negotiate live-streaming endorsements or brand representations, this little fellow could have the top merchants fighting over him, bleeding and bruised.
With an enormous appeal among the youth, capable of streaming 24 hours a day, occasionally conjuring up new tricks, and most importantly, with virtually no risk of any scandal.
Even if Dou Dou lashed out at netizens during livestreams, people would probably find it adorable.
The advantages of not being human were just so obvious.
If other streamers talked back to netizens, everyone would think the frankly pissing-off streamer didn't intend to be human.
But when Dou Dou questioned why netizens couldn't afford such cheap stuff, everyone would just laugh and say this indeed proved it wasn't human.

No matter how much money Dou Dou made, it was hard to make people jealous.
After all, even if Dou Dou became a billionaire, it could only spend the money on paying electric bills, and the electricity it used certainly wasn't any more noble than what everyone else used.
As for being a time management guru, selecting concubines, eating messily, and other such messy scandals, when these fell upon others, they were disasters, but when they fell upon Dou Dou, they were stories that made one's blood boil with excitement.
Even if the company behind Dou Dou was suspected of the most unforgivable tax evasion, it wouldn't affect Dou Dou's image at all, let alone provoke outrage. After all, what would Dou Dou use so much money for? Buy a nuclear power plant? So if the company misbehaves, what does that have to do with my dear Dou Dou?
This was truly an Innate Holy Body, a darling of the business world.
It was entirely Qiao Ze limiting Dou Dou's potential.
For the time being, it could only show its strengths in copywriting.
Dou Dou's efficiency was indeed very high.
In less than a minute, it had replicated Qiao Ze's tone and completed a reply.
It mainly consoled the old man and once again invited the dean of the School of Mathematics at Princeton to visit.
Although he had no plans to go to Princeton, Roth Dugan could choose to come to Xilin.
Moreover, this time Dou Dou came up with a very plausible excuse for Qiao Ze in the letter.
"I had thought about visiting Princeton, but when I considered that we would have to communicate in your native language on our respective soils, I realized I had already lost an advantage.
If I were to go to Princeton, it would mean I'm on your turf and still have to communicate in your language, implying that I've lost twice.
Therefore, if you and your friends came to Huaxia, being able to communicate in your language on Huaxia's soil could barely be considered fair.
Xilin welcomes you and your friends at any time.
Your friend: Qiao Ze."
Truthfully, when Qiao Ze read that last part, he felt that Dou Dou was indeed a genius when it came to making excuses.
He couldn't have come up with such a smooth reason himself.
But it couldn't be denied that there was some truth to it.
Not allowing him to win twice was one thing, but how could they let him lose twice?
That's not how you treat friends.
So Dou Dou was outstanding.
Of course, it could also be that those fans of Dou Dou were outstanding.
Qiao Ze was crystal clear on the fact that Dou Dou's capabilities in editing copy and coming up with creative content mostly came from the everyday banter of those fans.
To the outside world, Dou Dou's commentary seemed almost never repetitive, but if one were to really collate and analyze the data, they'd discover that oftentimes Dou Dou was just borrowing the thought processes of countless netizens. Then it would jumble up that information and reply to its fans.
Yes, every bullet fired at a fan actually came from the fans themselves.
Survival of the friendless.
But for Qiao Ze, that was of course of no concern – as long as it was useful, that was all that mattered.
So, after a chuckle, Qiao Ze opted to send the message directly.
In retrospect, not deleting and rewriting its core code simply because the little guy was too loquacious turned out to be the right decision.
It was a perfect example of using each other's strengths to offset weaknesses.

The spring in Princeton generally starts at the end of March and officially enters summer in June.
Each March also marks the beginning of a new academic year for Princeton.
