The Rise of Otaku
chapter-137

Although Wu Yun called him master, it was only until recently did Zhou Yu really start to teach her with his heart. Also thanks to Wu Yun’s talented, she was able to continue studying the carpentry, just with the so-called secret book and only a little bit of guidance every day. If it was other ordinary people, they probably would have already left because this kind of study method was hopeless.

While Zhou Yu was teaching Wu Yun, and hoping that she was able to complete the study of the intermediate secret book as soon as possible, he did not stop practicing his cooking skills. Although there was no learning talent to help him grasp the skill quickly, it was better than doing nothing. And Zhou Yu had another learning method, it was Gaming.

Some time ago, from the chubby dragon Prince’s treasure bowl, Zhou Yu received an interesting item – Simulation Operation Gloves. Simply put, it is a full-body operating system, that allows him to play the in-game characters directly, but it is only limited the games, that support motion sensing.

Although it is not as advanced as VR, it is still very interesting.

If he made a cooking class game, he can practice cooking at home using this pair of gloves. Of course, gaming would only allow him to learn some cooking processes, it would be unrealistic to say, that playing the game would make people become good at cooking. If anyone wants to practice their real cooking skills, they should always practice more on a real kitchen counter.

The game, called “Fun Recipes”, was made by inviting Kaka and Benben as two special instructors. It is like inviting the old drunkard as a martial art instructor when making a kungfu animation, which would improve the content of the game greatly.

From the entertainment point of view, Fun Recipes is not a good game. There is no storyline or content. It is just simply cooking, and the number of Recipes was is limited to all the dishes that Kaka and Benben have mastered so far. It is just like some Flash games played by children. Of course, this was the result specified by Zhou Yu. If he didn’t set any restrictions and let the game company develop the game freely, although the produced product might not be extremely good, it would least be as fun as other games.

Originally, “Fun Recipes” was only made for him to learn the cooking process, although he could learn directly from Kaka, or let it write recipes, it would be less easy to attract his attention than playing games. So like a lot of other games, it would only be saved on his computer, and not be uploaded to the internet.

Speaking of games, the game company had made so many games that his computer didn’t have enough space to save them all. So a lot of games were transferred into discs and put in boxes and then deleted from his computer. Zhou Yu had already saved several large boxes so far. If the hardcore gamers saw this, they would probably pass out immediately. Because the games here could not be seen on the market, and the quality of every game was also extremely good.

In this way, Zhou Yu’s daily life became slightly busy.

Playing the game to learn recipes at home, cutting vegetables at Tong Fook mansion to practice his knife skills, and then teaching Wu Yun, under normal circumstances, after he finished those three tasks, a day would be almost over.

......................

Zhou Yu’s life is very simple, but the people, who are secretly watching his simple life, in fact, are not just a few. Especially since the two of Beidou studio’s animation have become popular in China, more and more people want to discover the secrets behind them.

Some of them want to headhunt the employees of Beidou studio or Qin Zhuan studio, and it would be great if they could hire them all, so those people asked the ‘professionals’ to investigate. Others simply want the truth. After all, the two studios were acting very strangely. There are even some fans, such as the otaku fans of little Muli, desperately want to find out the voice actor.

Under these people’s intentional track down, the confidentiality agreement, that Zhou Yu sighed with the penguin company and the Otaku Gaming Portal, was no longer a secret anymore. However, the information about Zhou Yu himself, as well as the Beidou studio and Qin Zhuan studio behind him, and the two strange ids ‘the imprisoned Taoist’ and ‘the Brothel Taoist’, and even the artist the fast-handed Wang, who had been praised as “The Killer Coach” of the popular manga “assassin”, were all just like illusions, none of them could be traced.

The main reason was, that the computer, that Zhou Yu personally used, which hid all the secrets, could not be hacked by anyone.

Regarding computer knowledge, Zhou Yu knew very little, namely playing games, writing novels. Knowledge like hacking loopholes or firewalls or whatever, he has never learned it before. Although he had a new computer, much better configured than the old one, it is not a military-graded one after all.

Normally, the hackers, who were hired to dig out Zhou Yu’s secret, all could hack into people’s computers. However, all those attacks, which Zhou Yu himself was not aware, were stopped by someone.

The hacker Gu Renyuan, under the alias Jiu Ye, had tried countless times to hack into the little paradise amusement park, but every attack was easily defeated, which made him unable to understand what happened.

After numerous investigations, it all showed that it was just an ordinary company, but the protection was the expert level. They were not even an IT enterprise, why would they even need such good protection? He even disguised as ordinary visitors, went to the amusement park with his team members, and secretly connected to the network of the amusement park, but still, they could not break the park’s fortress.

After failing to hack into Zhou Yu’s computer many times, Gu Renyuan admitted that he was defeated. Later on, he directly sent a letter to the little paradise amusement park to express his respect.

....................

On this day, Zhou Yu was playing “Fun recipe” at his home in the amusement park. He was constantly moving his hand to practice preparing a dish called Litchi Meat. Kaka and Benben were dancing and signing on the side, little Muli and Firefly were playing in the dollhouse. Then all of sudden, a bell disrupted everyone.

Zhou Fu went out to do business, and his parents went back to school. Normally, no one would come to visit him in the park at this time.

Zhou Yu answered the door in confusion. It turned out that it was the gatekeeper – the old man Zhou, from the reception room. Every day, he would bring the letters and packages he had received to the staff in the park, but Zhou Yu didn’t have any friends outside, and he didn’t shop online recently. So why the old man was here?

“There’s a letter for you, boy Yu. It’s so strange, that he signed off as your friend, but he didn’t even leave his name.”

The old man Zhou handed over an ordinary letter. Then Zhou Yu opened the letter while thinking whether it was the fans of little Muli wanting to contact little Muli through him.

After reading it, although April’s weather has some cold winds, it still made Zhou Yu break out into a cold sweat.

‘Oh my god, I did not even know, that there are many people still going after me in the dark!’

Zhou Yu was just an ordinary person. The things like being targeted by the people in the dark, he used to think about when his Chuunibyou was very severe. Therefore, after he no longer had it, he had also stopped thinking about it. However, from the content of the letter, it could be seen, that the defeated hacker had launched a number of attacks already, and only until today did the hacker completely throw in the towel, and then sent this admiration letter.

‘Admiration letter? Who is he admiring?’

Zhou Yu was overwhelmed with confusion. If it had not been for this letter, he would not have realized, that the computer he had in his bedroom had already been targeted by many hackers.

Which angel mama was secretly helping him?
