The Rise of Otaku

Edited by: Esperanza

Under the beam of light from the sky, it really felt like the center of the whole concert. Fortunately, the people from the real world couldn’t see it, otherwise, he would not be able to control himself anymore.

The funniest part was that, a group of small people carried a microphone holder that, was much bigger than them, towards Zhou Yu in a neat way, while shouting, “one, two, one, two,” to match up their footsteps, and then put the microphone holder in front of Zhou Yu. It was quite surprising that, they could actually find a size that was suitable for the people from the real world.

Now there was really no way back for Zhou Yu.

In fact, Zhou Yu had actually already been noticed by the people in the real world. After all, he was sitting in the front row. He had already been captured by several cameras many times. An audience that did not watch the performance on the stage in a concert, but had headphones on his head. Moreover, he was holding a strange camera recording the night sky. It was really strange.

Was he there to cause trouble?

Perhaps because of her woman’s intuition, Lin Wan was aware that people were looking at them, so she had been trying to remind the little boss, but it was no use. Then she saw the little boss suddenly put down the camera and look straight ahead. It seemed like he was finally returning back to normal. But just when she was about to let out a sigh of relief, she was startled by the next scene.

Just when the celebrity finished singing a song, the whole audience burst into loud cheers. Zhou Yu also seized the opportunity, and suddenly shouted out, “Little Muli, you are the best!”

In the midst of all the cheers, Zhou Yu’s shout was not obvious. To other people, it looked like Zhou Yu was cheering for the celebrity on the stage. However, Lin Wan heard it clearly that he was shouting, “little Muli’.

Lin Wan knew very clearly who little Muli was. She was the most popular and mysterious singer and dub actor, who also worked for the little boss. With just one song, she became popular overnight, however, up until now, no one knew who she was. Was little Muli on the Stage now? Was it because of her that the little boss specially came all the way here to watch the concert?

In addition to the main celebrity on the stage, there were also a few female guest singers, who had been invited here to warm up the crowd. Could it be that one of them was little Muli? But that didn’t seem right. Celebrities relied on popularity, little Muli’s popularity was so high that, there was no need to hide it.

So why did the little boss shout like that?

Too many mysteries appeared around the little boss, it tortured Lin Wan constantly, making her feel as if she was also suffering from a mental problem. It made her gnash her teeth with frustration.

Zhou Yu also wanted to die. It so God damn embarrassing. How thick-skinned were those fans? Did they not feel embarrassed when shouting like that in public? Moreover, there were all kinds of cringy lines. It was so cringy that Zhou Yu felt that if he shouted any one of those lines, he would instantly die of embarrassment.

It was the first time in Zhou Yu’s life that his face was as red as fire. But it was also a valuable experience in his life.

Sometimes, Zhou Yu wondered if the eyes of the ACG world was something deliberately given to him to help him to overcome his weaknesses, Because after having this thing, the number of times that he needed to go out gradually increased, and all sorts of things that, he would never do before, were also completed by him, one by one. He had clearly changed from a full-time Otaku to a part-time Otaku.

Fortunately, his heart has not changed, he still liked the ACG world as always.

Little Muli became the winner of the division D’s contest and received the Aptitude Potion as she wished. LIttle Muli planned to give it to her eldest brother Li Weinian. In this way, the eldest brother would be able to level up. And then after the end of the contract this year, he would come back to reunite with the family in Luhua village.

In addition to the Aptitude Potion, there were a lot of other prizes. Tilting her head, little Muli looked at those prizes and thought for a second. Then she pushed the prizes to Zhou Yu, “dad, you can have all these things, there are a lot of Moe Coins as well, you can use them to upgrade Luhua village.”

What a good kid, not like her older sister Firefly, who always hid her money so she could buy alcohol, at all. However, Zhou Yu wouldn’t take the money, after all, it was earned by his daughter herself. In terms of those trophies and other prizes, they could be put in her room to decorate it, it would be much better than leaving them in the storeroom.

She was still a kid, there was no need for her to feed the family.

So Zhou Yu only accepted a prize named “Star Light badge”, because it had an ability to help him gain the friendliness of the citizens of the Star Light city easier, which was very useful to Zhou Yu. In addition to making it easier to gain the friendliness of some villagers, it would also be easier to persuade some Star Light city citizens to join Luhua village.

There was no question about getting a lot of prizes, but there was also a price.

The two companies, Extreme Film and The End Of The Cloud, came to collect the debts that night, demanding the twin chefs and director Yang Kuai to fulfill the previous agreement and formally sign the contract. Although that day, if it weren’t for the infinite hourglass trapping the fallen knight, the idols of those two companies would’ve also been captured, an agreement was an agreement, he shouldn’t break his promises.

After signing the contract, the bosses of those two companies left with smiles on their faces. Having Yang Kuai and the twin chefs joined their programs would reduce a lot of costs, which was a great thing for the small companies.

The next day, they still took a plane home. There was also a sky city on the plane, but it was not the same one as last time. There were also no palace coups or similar troubles. After all, life was not a detective drama, he would not encounter troubles wherever he went.

However, Zhou Yu and his group received a great welcome from the sky city, of course, it was not that Zhou Yu was handsome or anything, but little Muli, who was the champion of the division D’s idol contest. Even the royal family also came out to meet them, which showed how important this champion was.

With just a pretty face, little Muli could eat anything for free. It was such a great thing.

After making some money, little Muli could not resist her older sister, who was constantly tempting her to spend her money. Eventually, they went shopping crazily and bought everyone in the village a gift. As a result, not only did they spend all their money, but Zhou Yu also had to spend some money as well. Fortunately, little Muli couldn’t spend her money anywhere in Luhua village, therefore, keeping the coins was useless for her.

Looking at the little ones carrying many bags of gifts, Zhou Yu’s face was full of smiles. In terms of the little money he spent, he didn’t mind it anymore. And sitting beside him, Lin Wan also seemed to notice it. Compared with the previous flight, the little boss was obviously more relaxed, this time, as if he had finally completed something big successfully.

Thinking back on the past three days, the little boss did not do anything at all, and they only watched a concert, but somehow he was mysteriously injured. It was just a strange person doing strange things, but there were some people, who had secretly approached her, wanting to get the little boss’ information. What kind of secret did the little boss have?

In the past few days, Lin Wan had been feeling uneasy. To her surprise, some people wanted to ask her about all the little boss’ activities, and even asked her to be their spy, and the price they offered was not cheap either. This made Lin Wan feel a little confused again. Was there a deeper meaning about this seemingly irrational trip of the little boss?

Luckily, Lin Wan eventually refused to be bribed, but she also indirectly learned that it seemed like some people, who worked in the small amusement park, were not the real employees.

It was just a small amusement park, but why did those people make it look like some secret agency?

Lin Wan was full of doubts, and she didn’t know if she should tell Zhou Fu about it.
