The Rise of Otaku
chapter-331-30041322

After all, the other two were only children, and the fairy tales should be able to attract their attention the most. Fortunately, Zhou Yu had bought a fairy tale “Zhenbian Bedtime Stories” for Qin Zhuan studio. Although he didn’t take a detailed look, he had read through it roughly, and he could still remember most of the stories. Coupled with the experience of being a third-rate writer in the past, he would be able to tell the story for the whole evening.

Since the decision has been made, he should start it as soon as possible without delaying it.

That night, after eating the tasteless dinner, Zhou Yu began to “pick up” Shota, who was in the opposite cell of his.

“Xiao Guang, Xiao Yue, are you there? It is really boring here, can we have a chat to release some boredom? I used to be a novelist before, and I don’t know how I ended up here. Anyway, since there is nothing else I can do, how about I tell you the story I wrote.”

In order to build up trust faster, Zhou Yu decided to play the role of someone who wrote fairy tales, so he shamelessly claimed that “Zhenbian Bedtime Stories” was his own work. Anyway, the world here seemed to be completely isolated from the outside world, and he should be able to fool them.

So, Zhou Yu began to regularly tell two stories every time. After persisting for a week or so, there were finally some changes.

The first group of people that were touched by the stories were not Xiao Guang or Xiao Yue, but the people who were in the cells nearby them. At the end of the meal, they would knock on their door to remind Zhou Yu that it was time to tell stories.

In this dark place, people would only dare to communicate with their cellmates, so gradually it would become very boring. No one dared to talk to other people in the other cell, because in the past, there was one incident that the people in one cell trusted the people in another cell, and then told the people in the other cell their cell’s password. In the end, it turned out that the people in the other cell were actually the undercovers of the red-sleeved gang. Then all the people in that cell were taken away.

As a result, the trust between people became even more difficult to build.

The origin of the man in cell 009 was too strange because everyone knew that the people in cell 009 were dead. So the man in cell 009 either came from other areas and just happened to know the code of cell 009, or it was the old trick of the red-sleeved gang.

However, such a person had so many interesting stories. On boring days like this, having a person who knew so many stories was indeed a great thing. Gradually, everyone would open the covers of their doors after dinner to listen to the stories quietly.

In this dark world, the story from cell 009 has become a kind of spiritual food for the surrounding cells.

In this way, Zhou Yu won the nickname: Story King, and from his perspective, these white names gradually became blue names, which probably meant he had gained their trust. Moreover, during the 10-minute break, some people would even come to say hello, clearly showing that his status has risen significantly.

Gradually, Xiao Guang’s state also changed from the previous very alert to a slightly bluish color, and just a little more time, it should not be a problem for Zhou Yu to gain complete trust.

However, the person who set up this level didn’t seem to want to give Zhou Yu a good time. When everything was going smoothly, Xiao Yue suddenly became sick.

Cell 016 where Xiao Guang and Xiao Yue lived had only one food quota, so they always shared the food. The food quota was configured according to the nutritional needs of an adult. It was okay for the two children to share them at the beginning, but as they became older, their nutritional demand naturally would increase, so this food quota was definitely not enough.

There was a medical cabin in each cell where illnesses such as colds and fevers could be cured, but it was impossible to cure malnutrition. To save Xiao Yue, Xiao Guang had only one choice now, that was, to agree with boss Xiao Jin’s condition, and exchange the central royal room’s password for more food quotas.

Zhou Yu really wanted to kill the designer who designed this level. It took him nearly two weeks to tell stories, but just when he was about to gain the trust of Xiao Guang, there was an accident. Seeing Xiao Jin continuously promised various benefits while having a complacent look on his face, Zhou Yu’s heart sank deeper.

Zhou Yu must take a risk now.

If this continued, Xiao Guang would inevitably agree to it because of the deterioration of Xiao Yue’s condition. When the password was exposed, he would naturally fail to clear this level. Moreover, once Xiao Jin controlled the central room, he would be able to know his cell’s password. At that time, his life would be in danger.

On this day, Zhou Yu finally made up his mind.

In the 10-minute meal break, Zhou Yu put the food aside and ran to cell number 010, which was next to his cell, and discussed with the people, who had complete trust in him, to prepare a little scheme.

He didn’t completely waste his time in the past two weeks. At least, a few of the surrounding cells have vaguely regarded him as their leader, and a small underground gang has thus formed. Because of the ability to see through the red and white names, there was no need to worry about the existence of spies. Some time ago, a person pretended to be a normal person and wanted to hide in his group. The result was that the person was recognized at a glance, so there was no need to worry too much about the purity of the loyalty of his little group.

“Teacher, we have understood what you mean! We all believe you, and we will definitely succeed!”

There were zeals in the eyes of the people in cell 010. This was the eyes of the people who have complete trust in him, and this kind of look appeared more often on religious people. Unexpectedly, after fooling around for so many years, he became a spiritual leader.

However, this unconditional trust didn’t give Zhou Yu the satisfaction of being worshipped, but the deep fear. Those religious spiritual leaders were often intoxicated by this kind of trust? But wouldn’t they feel the tremendous pressure because of the overflowing sense of responsibility caused by this trust?

From this, it seemed that at least the profession of a religious spiritual leader was really not suitable for him.

The purpose of Zhou Yu was very simple, that was, to get a chance to talk to Xiao Guang directly, and not to let the people of the Red-Sleeve Gang hear it. If Xiao Guang didn’t follow his advice, in the end, he could only rely on these loyal followers to make a final resistance.

Through word of mouth, there were around dozens of cells and around a hundred followers that fell under Zhou Yu’s control, but the young people that could fight were only less than thirty. There were about three or four hundred people in the Red Sleeve Gang, so the gap was still very big. If there was a little bit more time to unite all the white names, there was still a chance.

Unfortunately, because he didn’t have time, so this method also wouldn’t work.

The key to solving this problem was the password to the royal room, which only Xiao Guang knew.

At lunch the next day, all 30 young people gathered together, and a small circle was formed in front of cell 016 to block everyone’s sight. Zhou Yu relied on a pen to write and communicate with Xiao Guang.

Because the corridor was not completely blocked, the robot police would not do anything. But if the red-sleeved gang tried to forcibly break through, the robot police would think that those gang members wanted to create trouble, then they would be locked up.

In these 10 minutes or less than 8 minutes, Zhou Yu must obtain the password!
