Chapter 559 Beauty Nemesis!

Lu Zhou wanted to say that he was not a straight man.

It was that girls nowadays were too dishonest.

If you like me, can't you just say it directly?

However, the more he explained, the happier his roommates laughed.

Lu Zhou was too lazy to talk.

Lu Zhou waved his hand to refuse the invitation to play basketball.

Lu Zhou had something to do today.

When he returned to the dormitory, his roommates had already arrived.

They were all lying in front of the black and white computer screens, constantly typing various codes.

"Agang is back, hurry up, I feel like we can get it done today."

"Huayao Mobile has updated the beauty algorithm today, and our algorithm must also be updated. It is probably not going to work today."

"Come on, today is the day for you to enjoy the good life."

"Lu Gang, just wait to become the public enemy of beauty!"

When his roommates saw Lu Zhou, they all laughed and joked.

Lu Zhou pouted when he heard this, sat down under his bed, and turned on the computer.

There were two screens on Lu Zhou's computer desk.

One is a normal color display, and the other is an ink screen display similar to the kindle e-book screen...

A display costs 10,000 yuan.

But looking at this screen, my eyes are not as tired as before.

It can be called a code-coding artifact.

The four people in the dormitory all have an ink screen.

They are all sponsored by one of the rich roommates.

Although the roommate said it was free.

But no one thought of getting it for free, and decided to exchange money for the roommate when the project they were working on was profitable.

As for what the project was?

It was a sudden idea of ​​Lu Zhou one day.

One day, Lu Zhou was browsing the posts on the Internet and saw that some classmates were digging up the black history of Chen Zhenwei, the first teacher who stayed in his college.

It is said that Teacher Chen fell in love online when the college just reopened.

The photos of the online love object were very beautiful.

As a result, when they met at the school gate, they were completely different people.

It is said that it was a large-scale giant tank!

Teacher Chen invited the other party to eat in the cafeteria and ran away.

Then he was hung on the red tree by the other party, saying that he was a man under him or something.

When Lu Zhou saw the post, he felt that the teacher was really miserable.

But what Lu Zhou didn't expect was that many students also started to talk about their experiences of being cheated by photos under the post.

There were quite a few of them.

After all, the future of Xingchen students is obvious to all.

Girls from surrounding universities all hope to date boys from Xingchen College.

Whether they can go to the end or not is not a big deal, there are many benefits.

For example, you can go to Xingchen Canteen to eat.

For example, you can get the shared umbrellas that Xingchen College changes every year.

Not to mention that most Xingchen students are quite rich.

But many girls are not good-looking enough and not confident enough.

So how can you make yourself confident?

Naturally, use a beauty camera to take beautiful photos.

As a result, a large number of Xingchen students were deceived, and some were even posted on Xiaohongshu as being a swindler.

This incident made Lu Zhou, who had always wanted to do some projects to earn some living expenses during college, see a business opportunity.

If he could make an app that can determine whether a photo is beautified and can restore it with one click, wouldn't it take off directly?

I can earn some living expenses.

And the majority of male students will no longer be deceived by photo scams.

Win-win.

However, Lu Zhou only thought about the difficulty of this project and knew that he could not do it alone.

For example, just for the matter of beauty, the cameras of various mobile phone brands have their own algorithms.

They are basically different.

Secondly, even if you can reverse the beauty algorithm of the other party.

Most photos of beautiful women will be uploaded to social software before people can see them.

And during the uploading process, most of the pictures will be compressed by these social software.

The compression algorithms of each are also different.

For example, WeChat is different from Weibo, and the same is true for Xiaohongshu and the like.

This made Lu Zhou, who originally wanted to do it in one step and see if he could restore the beauty of the video, give up this idea directly.

Let's do the pictures first.

Wait until the pictures are done, then talk about the video.

But if I can't do it myself, I can ask my roommates to help.

After listening to Lu Zhou's ideas.

The roommates are very interested in this project.

After all, there are too many beauties in the Internet age.

Although if you just want to go for it, you don't need to care about what the other person looks like.

But sometimes people can't help but wonder what these beauties really look like.

Could it be Qiao Biluo?

Or even uglier than Qiao Biluo?

After all, the current beauty filter is really too outrageous.

Bucket waist can become a snake waist.

Flat face can become a V-shaped face.

Elephant legs can become long legs.

This is visually friendly for men.

But when there is a chance to meet offline, it is easy to be frightened.

If you encounter "Then I leave", it is really embarrassing.

The second-generation rich roommate is the most interested in this project.

So, with the money of the second-generation rich roommate.

Lu Zhou started this project with his roommates.

And the project was named "Beauty Killer" by the second-generation rich sponsor!

...

The entire research and development process took a full semester.

Basically, after class and lunch every afternoon, everyone sat in front of the computer and started working.

It took a full semester to be nearly completed.

This is still a case of proactively reducing a lot of workload.

For example, there are too many mobile phone manufacturers.

Some models are different.

So I mainly work on the beauty of Xiaomi, ov, Huayao and other manufacturers.

Like the well-known small and beautiful manufacturer Meizu.

And I have a conscience, so I didn’t study the mobile phones of manufacturers such as 390.

Otherwise, I would be exhausted.

In addition, the platform compression algorithm reverse engineering is only done for large manufacturers.

For example, WeChat, Weibo, Xiaohongshu.

Like Xiaopo Station, Bihu and the like are not done.

In short, it is easier said than done.

The technology of large manufacturers is indeed not covered.

During the research and development process, many problems were encountered.

But fortunately, they have teachers.

When encountering problems, go to the teacher for advice.

The computer teacher in my own school is really amazing.

Most of the questions can be answered and solutions can be given at the time.

A small number of questions cannot be answered for a while, but they can be called over the next day to give them ideas.

In short.

With their own efforts and the help of teachers.

Lu Zhou and others are finally about to complete the project.

Now the cloud server has been purchased and the environment has been set up.

As a result, Huayao Mobile Phone updated the camera beauty algorithm today.

They had to work overtime again.

However, through comparison, they found that there were not many updates.

So Lu Zhou and others were very motivated.

They decided to launch their own beauty killer project today.

…

At eleven o'clock in the evening.

Under the light of the desk lamp, Lu Zhou and others stood up suddenly and cheered together.

But the next moment, they lowered their voices again.

Their beauty killer was finally done.

The hearts of several people were full of excitement.

Their beauty killer actually had great limitations.

For example, it can only crack the latest beauty algorithms of these big mobile phone manufacturers.

It is useless for other mobile phones or old versions of mobile phones.

In addition, photos that are beautified with one-click software can only be restored to a few mainstream software.

Other software, or photos taken with photoshop, cannot be restored.

It can be said that there are many limitations.

But everyone thinks that this is enough.

After all, most girls do not have such high photo editing skills.

Either the camera has built-in beauty function.

Or you can use Meitu Xiuxiu to retouch the photos a little bit, or use one-click beauty function.

In this case, it can basically cover 80% of the photos.

It is enough.

They have already made the Android version of the software.

As for the Apple version, you can directly use the WeChat applet.

Anyway, the services are provided by the server.

The applet was submitted for approval a week in advance and has been approved.

At this moment, the first project is online.

The roommates are all very excited.

"How much money can our software make?"

"I guess it will be at least one million a month. After all, there are so many people who edit photos now. If I were someone else, I would also like to try this software."

"Take off, we will be the savior of online love in the future."

"Indeed, our software will definitely benefit tens of millions of men who fall in love online and avoid their fate of being hurt."

Lu Zhou was also very excited when he heard what his roommates said.

If he could really make one million a month.

I would buy the latest mobile phones for my parents.

And buy the latest Asics running shoes for myself.

There are also Shaoyin bone conduction headphones and Logitech's ergonomic keyboard and mouse set that costs more than a thousand.

As a young man, Lu Zhou is interested in too many things.

But he has always been troubled by money.

With money, everything can be solved.

The way to make money from its own Beauty Buster is also very simple.

You can try it for free at the beginning.

Then you can either watch ads to get the number of times you use it.

Or spend one dollar to buy it three times.

In this way, whether you want to get it for free or you are too lazy to watch ads, you can enjoy the happiness brought by Beauty Buster.

But I was excited for a long time.

Lu Zhou suddenly thought of a question: "What if no one uses our software? After all, we don't seem to advertise."

Whether it is mini programs or software, there are too many on the Internet now.

There are countless apps that are simply in a state of no one paying attention to them.

After all, the content on the Internet is really too rich now.

If you don't spend money, there is no way for people to know your work.

Hearing this, everyone frowned.

The second-generation rich man said, "How about spending some money to promote it? I still have 100,000 in this card, find an advertising alliance."

"Our software function is unique, and anyone who has used it will definitely become a tap water to help us promote it."

The second-generation rich man planned to solve it with money.

But Lu Zhou thought about it and shook his head: "No need, just post it on our college forum..."

"Our classmates use it, as long as they are satisfied, it will spread quickly."

"Good wine needs no bush, we don't need to rush."

Hearing this, the roommates all nodded.

There are now more than 30,000 students in their own college.

All the campus forums are using it.

After all, there are no ads, and there are only students from their own college.

There won't always be messy porn sellers.

If you post it there, there will definitely be many students downloading it.

So, Lu Zhou turned on the computer and started posting and uploading apps...

And college students, even those from Xingchen College, don’t go to bed early.

There are also many people chatting and gossiping in the forum.

Seeing a new post at this moment, many students clicked in to see the excitement.

But when they saw the introduction, they all widened their eyes in surprise.

Beauty killer?

This software can reverse the beauty algorithm and restore the original photo?

Is it true or not?

If you see this kind of post in a place like Tieba.

Then the students will definitely not believe it.

They will definitely think it is an advertisement that does not match the product.

Just like those advertisements that say you can get equipment by cutting down trees at the beginning, it is completely different when you click in.

But the problem is that this is the forum of my own college.

Only student accounts can log in.

And the person who posted the post also said that this is a software made by several students in their computer major.

It should not be a lie.

So several students immediately clicked to download it.

After all, most people actually have a desire to peek.

Knowing the true appearance of the other person under the beauty filter is attractive to many people.

In a dormitory of Xingchen Academy, roommates were playing games together.

A classmate who had been picking up equipment for ten minutes, was shot in the head by the first enemy he encountered, and could only wait for his roommate to finish, was swiping his phone boredly.

Soon he saw the post posted by Lu Zhou.

Looking at the introduction, to be honest, he was a little skeptical.

If the beauty filter was so easy to restore, those big companies would be just eating for free.

But he was free anyway, so he downloaded the attachment in the post and installed it.

Beauty Killer.

This name is quite interesting.

The interface of the software is very simple. In addition to the introduction, there is a frame-style button for uploading pictures.

This classmate always likes to skip when playing games, and doesn't like to read the introduction.

So he directly clicked the upload button.

However, the prompt for first use still popped up.

"This app can only parse and restore photos taken with Huayao ov Miguo's built-in camera after beautification..."

"This app can only parse and restore photos taken with one-click beautification from apps such as Meitu Xiuxiu..."

"For online pictures, this app can only try to restore photos from Weibo, WeChat, and Xiaohongshu. Please download the original photos..."

"If you are not sure about the source of the photo, you can also try to restore it. It is very likely to fail, and garbled or strange images will appear..."

Looking at the introduction, the classmate smiled.

Don't say it, it looks quite like that.

I happened to be using Huayao's mobile phone, so I gave it a try.

Open the camera, take a photo, and adjust the beauty to the highest.

Looking at the photo, the pointed chin, thin face, strange whiteness, and ridiculously large eyes that I feel awkward with myself.

This classmate is sure.

If I see myself in the photo on the street, I will never recognize it.

Because I can't say that I am very similar to the person in the photo, I can only say that there is no relationship at all.

This beauty effect makes my own mother unrecognizable.

He thinks this app is probably impossible to do it.

However, when he clicks to upload

The photo upload was finished soon.

The screen interface changed: "Analyzing the photo information..."

"Analysis successful!"

"Trying to restore..."

"Restored successfully, please check..."

The screen jumped again immediately.

A young boy with a square face appeared on the screen.

Looking at the photo, the classmate's eyes widened directly...

Fuck...

The person in the photo is indeed me.

Even the acne on my face that I had because I went to eat Sichuan cuisine these two days was restored.

This is really outrageous.

Is this true or not?

The classmate's first reaction was doubt.

After all, using a beauty photo that has basically nothing to do with me, it restores my original appearance, and it is exactly the same.

This is really a bit outrageous.

This software just asked for my album permission. Could it be that it secretly scanned my photos and restored them based on the photos in my album?

Otherwise, how could it be so magical? (End of this chapter)
