The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 78 Going Home

‘There is a live drama on the street! Come have a look!’

A mob of spectators quickly gathered around to watch this interesting lively drama.

A poor busty maid was on the ground crying, a perverted villain was molesting the maid with a big evil bird, and a righteous young man with great body shape, who clearly looked like he had had a lot of psychical training, was confronting the villain.

Hmm…

Zhou Yu was inarticulate and rather shy in public, especially when there were so many strangers here. Being surrounded by a group of people, he felt suffocated and could not speak at all. Since he could not explain it clearly, it seemed like if he kept staying here, it would only get worse. It was much better for him to go back to the store to discuss compensation and leave the city at full speed.

The outside world was truly scary.

So he quickly turned around and planned to leave.

However, when the crowd was already gathered, it would not be easy for them to disperse. Especially for the chivalrous young man “A”, who had been practicing martial arts for many years. He was clearly eager to meet with this kind of situation in the street. However, situations like this were very rare. Now that he finally encountered one, how could he let it go easily?

With two steps forward, and a tiger claw to clasp the man’s shoulder, he planned to stop the man from fleeing. Of course, he also did not want to have a fight, he just wanted this man to apologize to the maid girl. However, this seemingly fragile fellow suddenly became very agile. Quickly lowering his shoulder to one side, he dodged his clasp.

‘Huh? He also practices martial arts?’

The chivalrous young man “A” was only half right. Zhou Yu was indeed practicing every day. He was tortured to half-dead by various martial arts small beasts. However, for more than half a year, he had only developed the ability to avoid and withstand attacks. In terms of counterattack, he did not know any moves at all.

Just like now, he almost subconsciously dodged the clasp, but he did not know how to fight back. The only thing he could think of was to run quickly. The man opposite him had entered the justice-seeking mode, and it would be very troublesome if he did not leave as soon as possible. Because the young man seemed to know kungfu.

Without saying a single word, he began to run. Being watched by so many people, he just felt very uncomfortable. He had to leave this place that was full of strangers first and then explain it later.

He was running, and the young man was chasing. Both of them soon returned to the maid’s cafe. The manager over there was going to call the police, but when he saw the customer, who had made trouble in the shop earlier, come back, and he was followed by a strange young man. He was very confused. ‘Where is Keer? and what happened?’

“Boss, I’m sorry that my bird suddenly went crazy. I will compensate you. But please, can you please help me to send this young man away. He thinks that I’m a molester.”

Because it mattered to whether if he could leave this city safely or not, Zhou Yu finally said a full sentence outside this village. Then he quickly hid behind the manager and did not dare to show his face at all.

At last, a storm finally calmed down. Although there was a chivalrous young man, there was no face-slapping scene. The dispute was eventually settled in the most realistic way. After Zhou Yu apologized and paid the money, the manager and the maid Keer also forgave him. After all, it was his pet who caused all of this.

The only person that felt gloomy was probably the chivalrous young man A, who wanted to make his chivalrous dream come true. Spending so much effort only to find out that it was not what he had thought was, all the energy that had been accumulated since the beginning began to leak, making him feel like a deflated balloon.

The fast-handed Wang was leveled up to a higher rank, and Bubu also had a fight. All he lost was just some time and money during this trip. Back to the hotel, before the fast-handed Wang said goodbye, Zhou Yu immediately activated the strongest talker skill and used it on him.

Originally he thought that the skill would be able to make him become a person that was good at persuading people, but he didn’t expect that from his mouth suddenly shot out a laser beam, heading straight towards the fast-handed Wang.

“IMA FIRN MA LASER!”

Unexpectedly, the first round laser attack failed! Although after the hit, the fast-handed Wang was charred black as if he had been electrified, he didn’t fall down. Instead, he was constantly scolding, jumping and wanting to fight back. It was indeed a very special talented person. It was really stubborn.

So… Take my second laser beam!

The fast-handed Wang also didn’t expect that the young man, who had helped him, would attack him. He already had a hard time withstanding the first laser beam attack. So the second laser beam attack directly knocked him out.

Zhou Yu also didn’t know if this was considered as successful or unsuccessful. Anyway, he just asked Sir Black to carry the fast-hand Wang, who was currently unconscious, and fly to the Provincial Railway Station with Bubu. And he himself also immediately bought a ticket home!

This should not be considered kidnapping, right?

Anyhow, Zhou Yu’s first long-distance trip in his life ended like this. What left in the city was just an urban legend of a birdman and a sad chivalrous young man A, who was forced to stop his chivalrous act. As for the busty maid Keer. Zhou Yu felt embarrassed to admit that he didn’t know what she looked like, since from the beginning, he only paid attention to the important area.

But the reward was still great. A manga artist, which could live permanently in the newly built comic studio when he returns home, and then he could make any manga at will. The artist was also the best artist. Whenever he thought about it, he just couldn’t help being excited.

In addition, there were rewards for completing the quest scroll. A small amount of Moe Coins, a strange key, and an unidentified statue. The statue he got last time was Wan Laiming statue. It directly improved the quality of the animation to another level. So this kind of object could be considered a good reward. And it must be well kept.

Then it was train time again.

Because he was able to successfully complete the quest, he was in a great mood. Coupled with the fact that it was quite boring in the train, Zhou Yu invited the storyteller of the ACG world on the train to sit in front of him and tell him stories.

Unexpectedly, the storyteller was quite interesting. The story he told Zhou Yu was “Ghost Blows Out The Light”. With the clear articulation and mellow tone, it was able to make people still think about the story and enjoy the story even after the story finished. It also made Zhou Yu want to bring this storyteller back to the village as well. Not only would he be able to tell stories to relieve the boredom of the old dragon king, but he would also be able to act as a voice actor in the animation base. He was a talented man who could be used in different ways.

Unfortunately, the strongest talker had always been used two times on the fast handed Wang. And who knows when he would be able to receive a similar ability.

Getting off at the train station, Zhou Yu stayed there for a while to wait for Sir Black, and then he took the bus that almost made him vomit back home.

After getting out of the bus, the familiar feeling immediately made Zhou Yu relaxed, and there were no more nervous feelings that he had when he was in other places. Walking home along a small path, he didn’t even forget to greet the small beasts that were wandering around the village, “I’m tired today. So I am not going to catch you guys.”

Leaving the village for a few days, the children all missed brother Yu a little. Especially last weekend, there was no movie to watch. They had been used to the outdoor cinema. So those brats always felt that there was something missing that weekend.

“Brother Yu, my second aunt said that you are going to move back to the city now, is that true?”

The children felt nervous. If brother Yu left, where would they go to see the animated movies in the future? Where could they find so many toys?

“Get lost, you brother, I have no intention of leaving Luhua Village in my life.”

‘Nowhere is better than my old house and my hometown.’
