The Rise of Otaku
chapter-211

Gao Shu from the Otaku Gaming Portal has indeed been looking forward to Zhou Yu’s reply. The success of the English version of “Fun Recipes” has delighted the higher-ups of the Otaku Gaming Portal greatly. They have been trying to use the success to push the educational games forward. However, the hateful Zhou Yu only promised verbally, but there have been no actual actions from him, and recently he was even doing some kind of animation variety show, and it caused so many discussions online.

Alas, big brother Zhou, it’s okay to play around, but can we get down to business first?

The helpless Gao Shu could only start running to Luhua village from time to time to urge Zhou Fu to speak to Zhou Yu. He couldn’t see Zhou Yu, because he has been staying in the studio for half a month, and no one knew what he was doing inside.

Even the most hardworking people in the world also couldn’t compete with Gao Shu. But today, his hard work finally paid off. Zhou Fu sent a message to him saying that Zhou Yu intended to meet him. Overjoyed, Gao Shu immediately prepared everything and came to Zhou Yu’s house in the residential area of the park.

Zhou Yu was watering that strange little garden when he arrived. The garden was full of strange mini trees. But strangely none of them were kept in pots. There were also several small houses in the mini forest, which was also Zhou Yu’s strange hobby. He always created mini handicrafts in strange places. For example, last time when he opened his refrigerator by accident, he discovered that there was nothing to eat or drink in it but a white ice castle.

“Mr. Zhou, I wonder what the development process of the ‘Fun Recipes 2′ is?”

Zhou Yu’s excuse for the delay was to develop the “Fun Recipe 2”, but actually it had already been done. Based on the Otaku Gaming Portal’s requirements, Fun Recipes 2 featured western countries’ famous cuisines.

In addition to the English version, the first generation of the game would also be made into Japanese and other European languages. It seemed that the Otaku Gaming Portal really put a lot of effort into making the “Brothel Taoist” a globally famous game development team. It was just that this was an odd place to start. Why starting from a game that teaches people how to cook?

“It’s done. There’s the Driving School of Hell and Magician as well. They’re all learning games. If you need, you can take them all.”

“The Driving School of Hell” is for learning how to drive. It will be in the first-person perspective throughout the entire learning process, and there will be a verbose instructor to constantly teach the player the driving knowledge until the player completed the entire training. But at present, the game only had the domestic driving rules, so the foreign gamers probably wouldn’t need it.

After the completion of the training, players can choose some cars for a variety of experimental driving.

And that’s the only part that looks like a game.

There will be a small open city in the game, very much like grand theft auto, but with a much smaller map. There are many complicated terrains, mainly for people to learn about the various traffic conditions in the city.

Zhou Yu also played the game. It was not that he wanted to learn how to drive, but wanted to experience what it felt like to drift in real life. However, he was sentenced for killing someone or causing an accident many times in the game because of that. So it could be said that he also learned the consequences of breaking the road traffic rules.

The most interesting thing was that the game was full of Easter eggs. For example, there were Road Rage Clans, drivers, who didn’t know how to use car lights, etc., testing the reflex of those, who obeyed the traffic rules. There was once, where Zhou Yu even encountered an insurance scammer. At that time, he tried very hard to get rid of the scammer, but no matter what he did, the scammer still followed closely behind. In the end, he was so angry, that he just rammed the car, and then he was surrounded by the police car.

After all, this was not completely a game, so fighting against the police this kind of thing was not going to happen in this game, and without any weapons, the consequence of being surrounded was being arrested.

“The magician” this game is not a very special game. It is a game teaching some simple magic principles. And if people need to master the technique of magic, they need to practice in real life. However, after finishing the game “the magician”, there will be some videos displaying the original magic, and the performer was a magician named the thousand-hands Guanyin.

In the videos, the thousand-hands Guanyin challenged people to solve his Magic tricks. Those who first solved the tricks could claim rewards from the Otaku Gaming Portal.

This was an interaction with the players, and the Otaku Gaming Portal needed to respond to the trick solving videos that people posted on the magician’s home page. As for the rewards, it was up to the Otaku Gaming Portal themselves to decide.

Zhou Yu didn’t try to solve it, because he knew he couldn’t.

The thousand-hands Guanyin was actually a villager of the ACG world, who has just recently become an entertainer at the small amusement park. He often performed magic tricks for the visitors of the ACG world, and was living off the tips that were given by other visitors. He joined the small amusement park because the total number of visitors reached a certain number.

As the number of visitors increased each day, more and more performers would join the small amusement park, and they could help Zhou Yu with their own unique abilities. For example, after the thousand-hands Guanyin joined the game company’s game development, it could improve the overall quality of “the magician”, after all, he was a professional.

Zhou Yu had seen the magic tricks of the thousand-hands Guanyin, and with his IQ, he couldn’t solve it by himself. Even without the special effects of the ACG world, he still wouldn’t be able to solve it. So Zhou Yu did not try to solve it. It was not a good feeling when he tried very hard to figure out something, but he still couldn’t figure it out.

Let’s see if other players would be able to solve the thousand-hands Guanyin’s magic tricks.

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

Originally, Gao Shu was just there to ask for the “Fun Recipes 2”, but he did not expect that he would really get the game, and not only that, but he also got two new games. These pleasant surprises really caught him off guard.

“Thank you so much, Mr. Zhou! The educational game is a new category that requires as much content support as your animated variety show. You can rest assured that our company will do our best to promote the show and our live channel will also join the variety show.”

The Otaku Gaming Portal also had its own live-streaming network, and the scale of the network was not small. There were a lot of famous gaming steamers using their network, so the influence of their network was not small.

So Zhou Fu was thrilled when he heard this. This was such good news. It made him wonder if the negotiation results with other TV stations would be as smooth as this. Once the negotiation was done, then it would be up to the audiences to decide if they would accept it.

And since the Otaku Gaming Portal nodded their heads, as their rival company, the Penguin company naturally followed as well. Originally the representative of the Penguin company was still hesitating, but when he saw the Otaku Gaming Portal signed the contract so quickly and their site even set up a special section for it, he immediately agreed on behalf of the company as well.

Apart from not wanting to lose to their competitor, they also wanted to enhance the relationship with Zhou Yu. After all, those two companies were Zhou Yu’s old partners. Nowadays, their partnership has expanded to many areas. Moreover, they were currently negotiating the live-action film of the assassin, so naturally, they wanted to show their sincerity.

All right, two companies down, a few more to go!

Zhou Fu’s mood instantly became a lot better. Facts proved that Zhou Yu could gather together a huge fund in minutes as long as he was willing to work in person. However, this guy was not willing to participate in business activities, otherwise, it would not be so difficult.

Now it left with some people who were still hesitating.
