The Rise of Otaku

Zhou Yu didn’t dare to show any of the titles that he had obtained from the ACG quest. Those titles had some special abilities, and they also provided special bonuses if he showed them. However, it was really shameful to have words like ‘Naive Little Brat’ or ‘Homosexual Lolicon’ on his head. He could only wait to trigger the next ACG plot, and then hopefully, he would get some decent title.

……

After this period of training, the amusement park idols were finally ready to debut. Zhou Yu actually didn’t expect much of them. The minimum requirement was to have a firm foothold in the amusement park. And their first base was a small theater built especially for idols in the amusement park.

Apart from the gourmet street in the amusement park, the most prosperous area should be the merchandise street. The original plan was to sell the hand made model sets here, as well as the peripheral products of some animation games under Zhou Yu’s name, but then gradually the shops that under the Otaku Gaming portal and Penguin company also joined in, and now the whole street was inexplicably filled with the shops that otakus liked.

It was precisely because of this change that the small theater of the amusement park idol was built here. The design of the theater was naturally made by the three craftsmen brothers. From the exterior to the interior decoration, it was full of idols’ flavor, and it looked very suitable in this place.

Of course, besides this idol team, there were other performances in the small theater. All of them were the employees of Qin Zhuan who were very popular on the online streaming platform, and here, they were able to directly interact with their fans. In order to run this small theater, Zhou Fu also specially invited a person who was said to be very experienced to directly guide the idols and voice actors. And Zhou Yu’s role was to provide works and increase popularity.

At present, there were not enough composers in the amusement park, so the songs they used were from Heifengzhai and Beidou. Anyway, it was still accumulating popularity for the time being, and they could still wait for the title track.

Yuanyuan was a little obsessed with idols. Since the opening of the small theater, she has been there almost every day, and her favorite was little Loli Xiao Xi. But the strange thing was that Xiao Xi usually lived in the villa area, and she could see her whenever she wanted to meet her, but she still liked to go to the small theater.

According to her, when an idol was standing on the stage, they would reveal a dazzling look, which was usually difficult to see when they were not on the stage. Of course, the daily life of idols was also cute, and she would not give up on both sides.

Alas, Zhou Yu really didn’t understand those fans.

Zhou Yu only went there once, which was the opening performance on the first day. After that, he never went there again. Because he was not used to the lively environment, especially some fans like to yell excitedly, which made Zhou Yu feel a little uncomfortable. Anyway, if he wanted to listen to a song or watch a show, he could just organize a staff gathering. There was no need for him to go through this.

The small theater was slowly accumulating popularity in this way. After all, most of the visitors to the amusement park were young people, and the flow of people was still not bad. Especially on holidays, there was a surging flow of people. College students in the province liked to come here too. After all, it was much cheaper and they would have a lot of fun.

There was also another large performance in the Colosseum.

The Colosseum has always been a favorite place for children, and it was always full during the summer vacation because the students participating in the summer camp simply loved the magical animals. Although they had seen it on TV, the atmosphere on the scene was even more lively. Watching the little animals chasing each other on the field, they would not be able to help themselves but cheer for them.

The host, Zhao Zan, has been working here since the beginning, although he was not the most suitable host for such an event because of his soft voice and his gentle attribute, he was still very happy. After all, he was the first host that was able to host a show in the real world.

And today, even his voice also became a bit high spirited when he announced excitedly: “Ladies and gentlemen, I just received good news. The brave fighters in our pasture have finally learned how to play football! At 3 o’clock in the afternoon, we will host the first football game played by animals in the amusement park. We are looking forward to witnessing this spectacular game with you!”

This announcement made the children very excited. Football game? Do the little animals here actually know how to play football? This is amazing! No matter what, they had to see it!

And it was the first time Zhou Yu heared about this news as well.

The task of training animals in the small pasture has always been given to the mouse Jack and the squirrel Bubu. He has once heard them talking about some kind of ball game before, but they had never succeeded in the past. Later, he gradually forgot about it. But he didn’t expect that they finally succeeded.

Mouse Jack said proudly, “Hmph, even if I don’t have enough knights, I can still train good knight mounts. Don’t compare me to the big-tailed squirrel. It’s so funny that it has been so long, and it also owns the Advanced Sky Knight Academy, but it still can’t train its knights to play balls!”

The squirrel Bubu felt so humiliated that it couldn’t lift its head. However, it was true. Its Flying Bird Knights still didn’t know how to play a ball game. Obviously, there were even high-level bird riders in the academy, but it still lost to the mouse Jack, who didn’t even have enough knights. So the problem was very obvious.

The Spartan-style education of Mouse Jack was much still better than the relaxed education of the Squirrel Bubu. Anyway, at three o’clock in the afternoon, they would be able to witness what the game would look like. Compared with the idol theater, Zhou Yu was still more willing to watch the animals’ performances.

Soon, the news that the Colosseum would host an animal football game spread throughout the amusement park. All the employees of the amusement park were very confused because they had not received any news from the manager, so they were not prepared at all. Moreover, Zhou Fu was not in the amusement park, and so they didn’t know what to do at all.

“Football game poster! We need to make it now! ”

“Which animals are going to play it? Will Diandian play football as well? We need to find it out as soon as possible!”

“Which bastard released the news without discussion! There are only a few hours left, how can we make it in time? ”

There was a panic in the office building. Zhou Fu, who normally gave the command, was absent, and Zhou Yu acted like it had nothing to do with him, so the people in the office building desperately attempted to remedy the situation. The person that they hated the most was the host who disclosed the information before he had any discussion with them. It was a shame that even if they wanted to punch that host, they still would not be able to find where this host was.

But Zhao Zan, the person they hated the most, was actually standing on Zhou Yu’s shoulder, scratching his head and apologizing to Zhou Yu. When he just got the news from Mouse Jack, he was too excited, so he forgot to discuss it with Zhou Yu first before telling other people.

“It’s okay, they also need to do some exercise as well. Besides, I am also very curious, is there anything special about this football game?”

Zhou Yu didn’t mind this little chaos, so Zhao Zan said with relief: “In the real world, it is just an ordinary football game, but in the ACG world, it is equivalent to a military exercise. Usually, only big cities can have an actual team, so it is very rare for a small city like our Luhua city to have such a team.”

Oh, so it is this. It seems pretty awesome.
