The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 116 - Drug



Chapter 116 Drug

Since the establishment of little paradise amusement park, the life of the people in Luhua Village has gradually changed. At first, people only thought that it was another senior activity center, where they could drink tea and play chess.

Zhou Yu and Zhou Fu those two people still had great respect for their elders. They did not dare to fail to take care of them properly.

The children were no longer running around everywhere anymore. There were enough toys and playgrounds for them to play at will. In summer, the swimming pool would also be open, and they could play with water. It would only be more fun for children. With the completion of the badminton court, Pingpong table, basketball court, sandpits, and other sports facilities, it made the little paradise amusement park more like an ordinary public park.

Gradually, the amusement park became a place that Luhua villagers must visit every day.

It wasn’t long before Boy Yu, who had been treated as a weirdo a year and a half ago, suddenly became the person that many journalists wanted to interview. It was said that he had participated in the production of a great animated movie.

Then he became a big celebrity overnight.

Because of this movie, more and more people started to come to Luhua Village, and the amusement park seemed to be getting on the right track. More and more Luhua villagers have joined the amusement park to work, planting vegetables, raising small animals, guarding, patrolling, and maintenance, etc.

As long as they were willing to work, they did not need to worry that they could not find a job.

Seeing the amusement park seemed to be getting more and more popular, some young people, who used to work outside, have been called back. After all, working in the city is hard, if they can find a job nearby, they might as well just work nearby.

As a result, Luhua Village – a little village that originally looked like old people’s village, slowly began to look like a normal village now.

The old people are very grateful to the amusement park, while children are totally addicted to it.

Since the brother Yu opened the gate of his yard, they could play with all kinds of interesting toys, and every Saturday’s screening day, was even more popular. Because many reporters also knew about the screening day, Brother Yu stipulated that only children could see the movies, but the rules of using homework as tickets still remained unchanged.

The most memorable thing for Zhou Hao was making a movie.

Little Rat used to be the main lead of a movie, but he didn’t think it was very interesting. The one he liked was the one, that was filmed by brother Yu, later on. During the filming, everyone was controlling a ship, doing all kinds of movements and formations. When the movie came out, it became a magnificent naval battle, which totally amazed him.

After the test screening, Little Rat had been looking forward to filming another movie again. If there was one, he was even willing to work as a porter.

The opportunity soon arrived. Brother Yu already made a big model and told them that he wanted to make a movie called “Dragon’s Treasure”, which sounded very awesome. Therefore, he was the first one to apply to join the filming crew.

However, this time there were no sea battles, but air battles.

Clearly, it looked like a ship, but Brother Yu said that it was an airship, and it could fly in the sky. It made Little Rat wonder what it would look like when the movie came out.

In addition to Zhou Yu, who was holding the camera – “truth”, the young cameraman Qi Yulin was also carrying a camera to shoot the movie. Some angles that Zhou Yu could not capture, such as airship interior, close-up shots, etc, were all completed by Qi Yulin.

There were also several cameras from the Beidou company. With so many scenes from different angles, director Ling Daoran had many materials to work with. Zhou Yu believed that the battle scenes would definitely be more gorgeous than “Fruit Pirates”.

The overall planning was over, the props were complete, the actors were in place, and the machine could be turned on at any time.

There was only Zhou Yu in the studio most of the time. The little Rat and other children only came in when Zhou Yu needed the airship to move and some other help. Apart from not wanting them to see some strange scenes, there’s also another reason. It was that the filming process was quite boring.

Saying there were some strange scenes, was because children could not see the people from the ACG world. So when Zhou Yu concentrated on shooting the interactions between the people of the ACG world, outsiders could only see Zhou Yu shooting an empty area for a very long time. It would only make people wonder what he was really doing.

Anyone would naturally feel bored if they kept silent for a long time. Professionals could endure it. But It was very difficult for children like Little Rat to keep quiet.

Although the length of the film is only 2 hours, a one-minute shot could be repeated several times before the director was satisfied with the shot. Therefore, even if the filming process of the ACG world was a little faster than the real world, after all, there were many things could be omitted in the ACG world during the shooting process, such as there was no need to fix the makeup during each cut and some other things, eventually, it would take a long time to make it, and the filming crew would need to stay here for a while.

Since it was filmed in Luhua Village, Zhou Yu was naturally responsible for the food of the filming crew. Fortunately, the vegetables on the small farm were ripening, and they could be picked and served to the filming crew. Fifteen farmers started to work quickly and gathered enough vegetables for Zhou Yu.

Then Zhou Yu brought it back to the chubby chef and let him cook and then brought back the readied dishes.

It would be great if he had a chef from the ACG world lest the chubby chef always looked at himself with the expression `Can you even finish those dishes by yourself?’

There were dozens of people in the filming crew and some of the villagers of mini Luhua Village, so the consumption was quite large. If the number of villagers continued to increase to a certain level, the food on the small farm may not be enough to feed everyone. At that time, Zhou Yu would need to expand it again.

A big group of mini people eating food together, the scene was quite spectacular. Firefly this bratty girl was like a hooligan when she came to eat with everyone. She was almost grabbing any dish she could see. Usually, little Muli was quiet, but after the makeup, she also became high-spirited and every energetic. Snatching the food before her older sister got it, she was clearly like a different person.

However, something unexpected happened.

Halfway through the meal, Zhou Yu suddenly noticed that a pattern representing “chaos” appeared on top of the filming crew, and then one by one the members of the crew began to turn into zombies as if the zombie virus suddenly broke out.

Seeing the bloody mouths of many crew members, it almost scared the shit out of Zhou Yu.

‘What the… what’s happening!?’

Xia Huan was just drinking. But all of sudden, he was also turned into a cute Chinese hopping zombie.(Note)

Hopping towards Zhou Yu, he sighed, “This is the zombie potion. Its purpose is to turn people into zombies one day. I did not expect that they would act so fast, Just on the first day of the shooting, they already started to use dirty tricks.”

It turned out that it was the competition between the management companies of the ACG world. And this kind of competition method was allowed in the ACG world. So they could not do anything but carried on shooting the movie while enduring the negative effects of various strange items.

As for who the troublemakers were, Xia Huan could not tell. Because if it was just Beidou making a movie, then the troublemaker would probably be Nandou. However, there was a Luhua village as well.

After all, Little Muli was so popular at the moment, there might also be some companies that wanted to cause trouble for Luhua Village.

But when were they drugged? The Chubby chef could be ruled out. He was not from the ACG world, and Zhou Yu had watched the whole cooking process, and there were no people of the ACG world in the kitchen at that time.

Therefore, it was left with only one place.
