The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 120 The end of the shooting

Extreme fans such as “Flower Muli’s Supporter Group” should be banned completely because violent crimes had already been involved. Although they were not summoned by Zhou Yu and Xia Huan’s competitors, they still caused a mess in the film studio, causing delay to the entire filming process. Not to mention, that if Zhou Yu did not do anything to prevent it from happening again, it would cause real damage to Little Muli.

However, what should Zhou Yu do?

In fact, there were two governing bodies of The ACG World, Star Light city and Fallen city. These bad citizens of the ACG world belonged to Fallen City. And just like its name suggested, it was a place, that was full of negative energy. It was also a place that was famously for producing age-restricted movies.

Star Light City and Fallen City did not interact with each other, just like the Alliance and the Horde. When the people of the ACG world entered the entertainment circle, they would need to choose a faction. Although there was a possibility of changing the faction, later on, it would be very difficult. And the ordinary people of the ACG world did not need to choose factions. However, occasionally, there would be some people of the ACG world with twisted attributes, such as criminals and extreme fans.

Prisons were actually functioned as education centers to reform those people. But the deeper the people have fallen, the more stringent the conditions that were needed to reform them. The prison in Luhua Village could reform C-class criminals. However, although extreme fans were only F-class criminals, the prison in Luhua village could not reform them. The reason was the lack of item – The Little Red Book(TL note: a book that has Quotations from Chairman Mao).

After sweeping the studio, the Flower Muli’s Supporter Group began to retreat, while taking their injured companions with them. But there were still a few leader-level extreme fans that were caught by Firefly. However, the prison refused to take them in because it was useless to take them in.

Then it became a problem. Zhou Yu could not just keep them without doing anything to them. And these extreme Fans were full of excitement when they saw Little Muli. Drooling all over the place, they looked very scary. Little Muli was supposed to be a brave and unruly character after the makeup, but when she saw them, a cloud of smoke suddenly puffed out of her body, and then she returned the timid little Muli again.

Hiding in Zhou Yu’s pockets, she was unwilling to come out again.

It would be too easy to just let them go, but he also could not keep them, it was truly a difficult question.

Although the sand tables of the real world were not destroyed, the studio in the ACG world was a mess. It required the carpenter beaver and the stonemason monkey to repair it.

During the waiting period, an ominous black airship appeared in Luhua Village. It was not an artistic description. The airship was really covered with the black smoke. It was very obvious that it was not a good airship.

Then two mysterious people, who wrapped themselves up tightly, walked out from the airship. They dressed up exactly like those big villain bosses in anime, which made Xia Huan nervous at once. But for Zhou Yu, they were only two little people, that were less than 20 centimeters tall. Besides, he had seen too many villains from anime.

Put down the hoods, their exaggerated gothic but colorful hairstyles immediately appeared in Zhou Yu’s eyes. However, all of them were having very serious faces. Seeing them looked like this, Zhou Yu almost could not help himself but laugh.

“The people of Fallen City should not stay here and suffer. This is the ransom that my Lord gave me. I hope they can be released and taken away by us.” deliberately looking at the other side while talking to them, they were like a group of Chuunibyous, pretending to be very badass.

‘Huh? There’s a ransom?’

Zhou Yu’s first reaction was to reach out and take over the black bag. But then, he suddenly felt that it seemed to be inappropriate. Wouldn’t it be illegal to buy and sell prisoners privately? Moreover, when dealing with such characters, there was always a strange feeling, that they were making some kind of dirty deal. Would there be some special force, jumping out next second, and pointing guns at their heads, shouting, “Special Delivery! (AKA: FBI OPEN UP!)”

Most importantly, what if he returned those people, but they still came back to harass them again? Although these guys were nothing to the people from Luhua village, it was a foolish thing to let those people go and increase the number of bad guys.

He slowly moved back his hand and went to one side with Xia Huan and whispered for a while.

“Don’t’ worry, this kind of deal is very normal, no one will trouble you. The people that are ransomed will become laborers, and they will not be released unless all the ransom is paid off.”

With Xia Huan’s explanation, Zhou Yu had no more worries. He then freed the extreme fans and then went back to count Moe Coins happily.

After exchanging the five extreme fans, he got 500 Moe Coins, a fallen seed, and an extreme indescribable statue of the fallen goddess.

In an instant, Zhou Yu suddenly had the idea of wanting those people to come back as soon as possible. With just a few citizens of the fallen city, he could exchange so many good things. ‘Are all the citizens of Fallen City rich bosses?’ Having thought about it, it kind of made sense. There were so many age-restricted movies. Although many people often said no, but they would still buy them.

It was totally impossible for Zhou Yu to imagine what the fallen seed might grow into, but the information of the statue of the fallen goddess could be seen without being appraised by the old immortal crane.

The Statue Of The Fallen Goddess: a studio decoration;

The feminine charms of all female characters + 10;

For sexy characters or sex-selling scenes: + 10 Sexy Points, + 10 Seduction Points; and automatically adding the soft light effect.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Yu let out a sigh of amazement.

The only problem was that the statue was too obscene. Little Muli’s face was blushed and she did not dare to look at it. She also pulled Zhou Yu’s ears so as not to let Zhou Yu see it. Firefly this manly girl, on the other hand, touched those important areas of the statue, while laughing non-stop. It really made Zhou Yu worried about her sexual orientation.

Oh well, although the movie Dragon’s Treasure only had one last scene to shoot, the statue was still kept in the studio as a decoration. Since it was an artwork... Hmmm... although it was that kind of artwork, it was still an artwork, right?

In the afternoon, the sand tables were finally repaired. And without any more accidents, the Dragon’s Treasure was finally completed.

Although the film scored about 8 points, which was not as good as Fruit Pirates, it had a totally different meaning to Zhou Yu, because it was the first work that Luhua Village’s own idol participated in, and it was also the first animation that Luhua Village really participated in the entire production process.

Even just shooting an animation could be this hard, then you can imagine how much effort it would take those people, who can not cheat and can only draw animation one line at the time, to produce a perfect animation. The same goes for those game developers, who also need to work hard day and night to bring joy to the game players. We must pay a full tribute to all the people, who involved in the ACG production lines.

The celebration banquet was held, as usual. Naturally, it was filled with singing and dancing. Xia Huan also invited a girl idol group to perform. Of course, out of the financial consideration, the group they invited was not very famous, just to the level that was good enough to sing in some bars.

Even so, Zhou Yu still had a great time, and he was even more determined to raise a girl idol group.

However, if he had an idol group, there would be more extreme fans like ‘Flower Muli’s Supporter Group’. Without a strong protective environment, Luhua Village might become a branch of Fallen City.

Alas, he still had a lot of work to do.
