The Rise of Otaku
chapter-129

That day Zhou Yu was taking little Mini and Firefly to go fishing in a lake, suddenly, from his side jumped out a hater. Without saying anything, he then suddenly activated the hater’s roar. Although it did not cause much harm, little Muli was startled and fell into the water from Zhou Yu’s hat. After swallowing a few mouthfuls of cold water, she caught a cold and was sent to the hospital.

There were Flower Muli’s Supporter Group first, and now there were haters, plus this accident, it really made Zhou Yu very angry. He almost wanted to close the amusement park, and not let those ACG world tourists in. This was actually not too difficult to do, but the price was a little heavy. After all, now the little Luhua village was a little big, security companies have been unable to guarantee the absolute safety, unless he purchased large defense facilities such as “military base”.

But the military base was expensive. Once it was built, mini Luhua village would become an ACG world military exclusion zone. This facility was supposed to be built at a later stage to protect something important. If Zhou Yu built it now, it would just put the whole amusement park under lockdown, it would even drive out ordinary visitors, let alone haters.

Zhou Yu was mad, almost wanted to build a military base without thinking anything else. Fortunately, the vending machine didn’t have the military base blueprint that day, plus the mini Luhua villagers took turns to persuade him, he finally calmed down, and began to discuss the security solutions with everyone.

But regarding security, everyone in the village was a layman. None of their ideas sounded feasible. So Xia Huan, the expert in this matter appeared. After listening to Zhou Yu’s problem, he couldn’t help but burst out “oh my god, older Zhou, you are too careless! A top idol with just a bounty hunter as the security guard, not even a professional bodyguard, and you only just had one accident now!?”

Zhou Yu was a little embarrassed. In fact, this was actually really his responsibility, after all, he was the one who was managing this mini Luhua village. But he was also feeling helpless, after all, there was no manual, no guide, not even someone that could give him some advice.

Firefly, on one side, was a little offended. As she cracked the whip in her hands, she said, “what! You despise bounty hunters?”

Firefly was becoming more and more domineering. Regular people didn’t even dare to cause troubles around her. Xia Huan did not like to be hit by a whip, so he immediately smiled at her and said a lot of compliments. He even sent a gift to her. Only after he did all of that did he just skipped the “slip of speech” crime, otherwise, his ass would definitely be whooped by her.

“In a management company, protecting an idol is a systematic job. There are all kinds of accidents besides extreme fans and haters. Even some of my C-rated idols have better security measures than little Muli, not to mention the top idol like little Muli,”

Next, Xia Huan asked his deputy Wen Qu, an old man in Beidou, to teach Zhou Yu a lesson on how to protect idol. In addition, there needed to be regular training, daily maintenance, and other aspects. Hearing all of this, it made Zhou Yu feel very dizzy, but he still had to listen to it carefully.

He still underestimated the ACG world. It was not like playing “Virtual idol” that simple. With the current states of Luhua village, Zhou Yu might not even be able to protect little Muli, let alone a girl idol group. There had been no accident so far, mainly because mini Luhua village did not belong to Star Light city, otherwise, little Muli may have already been targeted by other management companies.

Although little Muli is Zhou Yu’s daughter, the relationship between them isn’t unbreakable. The management companies in Star Light city have been fighting with each other for many years. Finding out one or two methods to destroy the relationship between the father and the daughter and then sign up Little Muli, is not impossible. It would just be a matter of price.

Unfortunately, the classes about how to protect idols were not one or two days’ thing. Zhou Yu had to put out a smile and invite Wen Qu to live in the amusement park for 3 days, then he finally and roughly understood how the security of the ACG world works. Of course, this was just the knowledge that a manager must know. If he really wanted to solve the problems immediately, the most direct solution was to join the ‘idol alliance’.

Idol alliance is a protection system for the idols in Star Light city. Each idol will be given necessary protection, but idols need to complete some specific tasks for the alliance.

It is okay that Mini Luhua village doesn’t want to join Star Light city or fallen city, but Muli is an Idol of the ACG world, after all. It really can not be justified if she doesn’t join a faction.

Thinking it over and over again, and asking the opinion of little Muli, Zhou Yu finally decided to build an idol alliance office in Luhua village, and let Muli formally join the Star Light city’s system. However, this building was not purchased from the vending machine. After applying to Star Light city, the building blueprint was sent to him and he didn’t even need to recruit any staff.

That saved him some Moe Coins.

However, on the day of the inauguration of the “idol alliance office”, the flying airship with ominous black gas came to Mini Luhua village again.

Zhou Yu could not see the face of the person clearly, but he could hear his voice, which sounded very like the black-robed man, who had come to him last time, “Mr. Zhou, is it not appropriate to favor one over the other? Aren’t you about to have a child of the fallen city? If you are going to set up an office, how can you forget about us?” The man said darkly.

‘Oh, my god, these two factions are always fighting each other, but now they even want to have a fight in Mini Luhua village?’

‘But... It seems quite interesting.’

Although the fallen city looked like a big villain, for Zhou Yu who is from the real world, they aren’t that evil at all. It is just that they often make some hentai anime and erotic comics. Although it might not sound nice to say it, there are similar things existing in the real world as well.

It seemed fun to keep those two offices opposite each other. So it would have interesting dramas every day. And the black-robed man was right, the child that came out from the fallen seed also a faction as well. However, even if the fallen seed grew into a fallen idol, Zhou Yu would not let him or her participate in hentai movies.

At most, maybe take part in some movies that provide fan services.

Therefore, under the mischievous arrangement of Zhou Yu, the office of “The Star Light idol alliance” and the office of “the fallen idol horde” were set up opposite each other. The people, who worked in both offices, would simply glare at each other every day, from the time they open until the time they close, but they would not really have a fight with each other. At most, they would pull some pranks on each other to cause troubles to each other.

However, the first office, that received the work, was the Star Light idol alliance, and it was for little Muli, who was an excellent idol. This made the people in Star Light office proud for several days.

“Muli: the place of birth: Luhua village; all attributes have achieved the S-rated standard, but only participated in one animated movie – the dragon’s treasure. Therefore, we can only give you the certificate of C-rated idol.”

The work efficiency of the office of the ACG world was still very high, the certificate was produced very quickly.

C-rated idols can enjoy the protection of two professional bodyguards. If they need to attend some “high-risk activities” that need to face the media and fans, they can apply for two more professional bodyguards and recruit their own security forces.

However, joining the alliance did mean that they would only receive benefits. There were obligations as well.

Firstly, they needed to pay some fees; Secondly, they needed to complete the daily tasks to maintain the security level; Finally, it was something that Zhou Yu did not like to do the least, which was to attend some activities, that were held outside Luhua village.

In short, they were forcing Zhou Yu to leave the village.
