The Rise of Otaku
-
chapter-207
Zhao Zan was the host, who was trained in Luhua village, although he was not the best, he was a professional host after all. And although little Muli was not a professional host, her variety ability also reached 90, so they could work tacitly on the stage. With Zhao Zan’s relaxed and humorous jokes, little Muli’s cute and funny performance, two people hyped up the atmosphere of the show.
There were also many seats around the stage, and daily filming took place from 10 am to 12 am, 3 pm to 5 pm and 8 pm to 10 pm. There were countless mini people, who hoped to enter the scene to watch these three shows. After all, people could see many idols at once, so by just selling the tickets, Zhou Yu could earn a lot of Moe coins.
No one really knew who Zhao Zan was, after all, he had only hosted animal Olympics in the real world and hasn’t officially appeared in the ACG world before. But little Muli was slightly more famous. When she just appeared, the audiences immediately broke into bursts of cheers, especially the die-hard fans, who often hang out in the amusement park, they cheered as loud as they could to support little Muli.
In one section of the area below the stage, die-hard fans were holding up the slogan ‘we love little Muli the most’, shouting slogans, dressing the fan uniform and performing an impressive and original dance.
After the warm-up, it was the segment to show the carefully selected twelve adventurers.Ota ku tl bl og, ( ota kutl .blo g sp ot . c o m)
All of the twelve adventurers were the top idols, with the average five attributes more than 80. And in order to join this variety show, they also took out their own unique dresses. After all, the stage was also a competitive battleground, the twelve adventurers were all trying to show off their best attributes, everyone wanted to attract the most attention. So, whenever an adventurer entered the stage, their fan groups would cheer the loudest.
What impressed Zhou Yu the most was that there were actually two women among the twelve adventurers. One of them was the famous lily idol, whose fans were almost all women. She, who dressed in men’s clothes, threw a kiss to the crowd, it instantly made a group of girls faint on the scene.
And the other girl was a very young loli type girl. The special thing about her was that she had two personalities. She often appeared as White Rose, who had a very lovely character, but once her mood darkened, she would become extremely dangerous Black Rose. Both types of extreme cuteness made all of the men unable to resist it.
However, what attracted Zhou Yu’s attention the most was Yi Nian. He was a male idol, and amongst all the twelve adventurers, he was the most popular idol and his attributes were also the highest. This male idol, whose attributes were almost as good as little Muli, was filled with dazzling aura when he walked on the stage. It was so dazzling that Zhou Yu could even look at him directly.
Handsome, fashionably elegant and well-mannered, in his 10 years of idol life, he didn’t have any scandals, he was clearly the perfect heartthrob for all women, the role model of all idols, and the idol that all management wanted the most. Such a perfect man usually can only be found in Mary Sue’s novels, which might be titled “the overbearing star fell in love with me”.
The champion of the S-division’s Idol contest was truly very extraordinary.But, what attracted Zhou Yu’s attention the most was not his attributes, but his management company. Surprisingly, it was Nandou.
O tak utl blo g, ( ot ak u tl .blo g sp ot . c o m)
Yes, it was Beidou’s sworn enemy.
When Zhou Yu saw the finally approved list of the twelve adventurers, he almost thought that he was hallucinating. Only after he repeatedly confirmed with Oba did he finally accept the result. But he was still puzzled.
How could Xia Huan agree to let people from Nandou participate in his variety show? He, Oba and Zhou Yu could all put forward the adventurer candidate, and then only after all three people agreed, then the candidate would be decided. As long as one person did not agree, the candidate would not be selected. So if Xia Huan insisted on opposing the decision, no matter how excellent Yi Nian was, he still would not be able to appear on this stage.
While he was wondering what benefits Xia Huan had received from Nandou, he didn’t expect Oba would tell him a piece of very surprising information, “it was Xia Huan who invited Yi Nian, I have heard that in order to invite Yi Nian to participate in this variety show, he sat with Zhang Quan of Nandou and talked for a long time. Only after he paid a large sum of money did Nandou finally agree to it.”
Whut! What happened to him? Xia Huan unexpectedly bowed to Nandou, and begged them to join his show? Where’s the tough guy who wanted to compete with the world’s No. 1 management company? Don’t tell me that he didn’t want to compete with them anymore and admitted defeat already?
Confused, Zhou Yu found Xia Huan. However, the answer he got from him made him sigh unceasingly.
“If it’s a personal project, there’s no way I would let Nandou take advantage of it, but work is work, you can’t get the personal emotions involved in work. For this show, my personal feelings can be disregarded. With Nandou in the show, it means that we will not have one of the biggest obstacles when making the show, because Nandou will not send spies to disrupt their own show. Moreover, Yi Nian has just won the S division’s competition. Inviting him to the show will help this new TV program gain a lot of attention.”
Alas, a true manly man can submit or stand as required.
It was easy to say something like this, but it was very difficult to actually do it. At least, Zhou Yu didn’t know if he could do it. Fortunately, there was no such thing to test him in the real world. Because just the mere thought of talking and laughing with the person he disliked, an extremely irritated feeling would appear in Zhou Yu’s mind.
But after seeing all the people, whether they were men or women, losing their minds in the crowd when Yi Nian appeared on the stage, Zhou Yu had to admit that Xia Huan made the right decision.
“All right! Twelve adventurers have been assembled. They will enter the maze from 12 different entrances and then begin their journey to the center of the maze. Let’s wish them luck!”
After Zhao Zan finished speaking, the twelve adventurers flew to the waiting area at their respective entrances by air vehicles. When the gate was opened, it represented the beginning of the adventure. Of course, the show would not be over so soon, and it would take at least two weeks to shoot. Even the one-month shooting period was reasonable if you factor in the unexpected disruptions.
“This program is sponsored by Xuan Yuan Treasure City, Qing Yuan Idol Style World, Xing Ye Pranks Company. If you want the best item please visit Xuan Yuan Treasure City. Qing Yuan Idol Style World makes the best Idol style. The king of pranks, Xing Ye prank company. Thanks to all three companies for their support.”
Even in the ACG world, these sponsorships were also indispensable, it was just that the words little Muli said next made Zhou Yu speechless.
“Starlight gambling industry’s latest news, Yi Nian winning odds 1:1; White Rose winning odds 1:1.5; Lily Queen winning odds 1:1.8... Those are today’s odds for the 12 adventurers, and those, who haven’t placed your bet, please do it as soon as possible. The Starlight gambling industry accepts cash, and treasures and idols as collaterals. And the quality of their services is guaranteed.”
Hmmm... This segment definitely will not be able to be aired in the real world. Otherwise, uncle police will show up in his footsteps very soon. It was not a welfare lottery, after all. It was courting death if he dared to do this kind of gambling promotion in China
However, this kind of activity seemed to be very popular in the ACG world. Many Luhua villagers were discussing the merits of each adventurer. It seemed like they were also going to place bets as well.
Among them, Firefly was the most enthusiastic one. She placed all the money she had on her favorite lily Queen. If she lost, she would have to live on the endless piggy bank, which was 10 Moe Coins a day.
