The Rise of Otaku Novel

Chapter 26 - The Second Child


TROO Chapter 26 The Second Child

Fishing and catching the small beasts, as usual, every day, everything seemed to be becoming part of Zhou Yu’s life, and nothing seemed to be able to stop Zhou Yu containing living like this.

Looking at his collections, he now had a comic studio and a game company. The blank seed that thrived in the animated soil had also grown into a beautiful peony seedling.

The flower bud would soon blossom. At that time, Luhua village would have its first animation director.

So his current objective was very clear. It was to build an animation base, so he could complete his collection.

In order to complete his objective, Zhou Yu began to do his daily quests even harder.

The old immortal crane’s medicinal herb collections: collect 20 ordinary medicinal herbs. Rewards: 30 Moe Coins.

Using Li Shizhen’s dragon spruce medicinal hoe that he got from the third dragon Prince’s treasure bowl, Zhou Yu was able to see the name the wild medicinal herbs and collect them. It only took him roughly one lap around the village to collect twenty of them.

However, in the ordinary people’s eyes, Zhou Yu’s Chunibyo was getting even more severe. Taking a beautiful hoe with him all day long in the village, he was always digging some useless wild weeds. What was the strangest thing, was that he was doing it very carefully as if he was digging some previous plants.

However, Zhou Yu was already used to how other people look at him. So he didn’t really mind it.

The third dragon Prince’s Brocade robe: the careless dragon Prince lost his brocade robe. Helping him to find it back will gain three chances to shake the treasure bowl and obtain the one-star treasures for free.

Although the third dragon Prince usually only lurked around the village, searching for something that he had lost was still a big task. Without any leads, he had to search every inch of the land of the village.

Little Rat thought that his brother Yu had lost something, therefore he gathered his minions to help brother Yu to find the things he had lost. But in the end, they all saw brother Yu picked up a ragged doll’s clothing from the grass. It didn’t look like a thing that needed him to spent the entire afternoon to search for.

Everything about brother Yu was good, it was just that sometimes the things he did was very odd.

The cormorant fisherman’s quest was the easiest. Every time it would request some specific fish for him to catch. The price it gave was also much higher than the old dragon king.

The times that He Yuanyuan and Zhou Shuyu contacted Zhou Yu had become less often. They were currently enjoying the wonderful university life. They probably had already forgotten the boring and dull otaku – Zhou Yu.

It was a shame that they were the only two relatively beautiful animated girls in the village. The rest of the people were either small kids or old aunties.

Unknowingly, one month had passed.

There were quite a few things happened in the month that had just passed. Firstly, the war of Luhua village was finally approved by the government, and now it was being advertised everywhere. Probably he would be able to sell the game very soon.

Gao Shu, who was responsible for contacting Zhou Yu, wanted to invite other people in Zhou Yu’s teams several times to do a special advertising interview, however, never once he was able to persuade Zhou Yu.

To Zhou Yu, leaving his village was like to go on a journey to the West, in term of the rest of the team members… where the hell was he going to find those people?

Of course, this was just a small matter. He could just simply refuse them. But there was one thing that he needed to treat it seriously.

It was that the peony flower finally blossomed, and another male Thumbelina was born.

The fully bloomed peony was very beautiful. The people who liked flowers, such as He Yuanyuan would definitely like this.

However, Zhou Yu was not interested in the flower at all. He was only interested in the boy that was sleeping in the center of the flower. Of course, it was not a perverted interest.

Having gotten a boy from the ACG world two times, Zhou Yu almost wanted to curse out loud. Clearly, he had prayed so many times that he wanted a daughter, but this damn ACG world just did not want his dream to come true. It just kept sending him sons. Could it be possible that there were more males than females in the ACG world?

Yang Kuai: Fostering Period.

Profession: ???;

Attribute: ???;

Skill: ???;

Mood: Happy.

Although he was complaining, since it was he who planted the seed, he would still take the responsibility. And this time, he was much more experienced than the last time. Seeing the kid was still sleeping, he quickly called over the old immortal crane and asked it to remove the curse. Soon, Yang Kuai woke up. With his nose was still blowing a snot bubble, his appearance was clearly worse than his elder brother Li Weinian.

Welp, the elder brother was an idol, but this little brother currently didn’t have any profession. It was just a little kid that could potentially become an animation director.

“Daddy, daddy, is that grandpa an Immortal?”

Kids were always very curious. Pointing at the old immortal crane, who flew away in the demeanor of a transcendent being, he constantly asked questions about the old immortal crane.

There were too many immortals in the ACG world, it was fundamentally different than the immortals from the real world. So Zhou Yu didn’t know how to answer it. He just vaguely replied yes.

Since he had experiences, he thought that there wouldn’t be many troubles for him to take care of the second kid. But he was wrong. Raising an idol was completely different than raising an animation director.

Li Weinian liked all kinds of toys, so he just needed to spend some coins to ask the beaver to make some toys for him. It was more than enough to satisfy Li Weinian’s basic needs. However, Yang Kuai was extremely curious about everything around him. All kinds of questions were thrown at Zhou Yu, almost making him lose his mind.

“Why I don’t see mommy?” “Why daddy needs to go toilet but I don’t?” “Why this flower is red, but that flower is black?” “Why the dragon king grandpa has a beard but daddy doesn’t have?” etc…

He couldn’t stay silent. Even if he didn’t know the answers, he had to make up some answers. Otherwise, the mood points would drop rapidly. Only until later on did he realized that those questions would determine the kid’s future. It was just like the list of questions given out by the fate prediction websites to their visitors, in the end, those sites would use those answers to predict the visitors’ fates.

It was just that the kid asked too many questions.

The same as Li Weinian, the re-spawning points for kids’ equipment once again appeared in the village.

Because Li Weinian’s profession was very clear, so all the items that were spawned, were for idols use. However, because Yang Kuai’s profession was yet determined,  all the items were randomly generated, and the stats that those items increased, were also very random.

And today, Zhou Yu even found a nursery building in the vending machine. Looking at the description on the screen, it seemed like it was specifically used for taking care of babies. He could even decide kids’ future paths through the building as well.

However, it was too expensive. With 10k Moe Coins price tag, it immediately scared Zhou Yu away. Plus seeds were also very rare, he wouldn’t use it frequently. It would be just a waste of money.

The 7 days of fostering period quickly passed and Yang Kuai finally reached adulthood.

Yang Kuai: adulthood; Gaining insight into “directing animations”. Upon completing the quest will awaken the profession.

‘Fuck, it is still not over yet.’

Quest – The Awaken of Animation Director: young man Yang Kuai has discovered a big question mark on his life path. He, who was full of adventurous spirit, prepared to accept this challenge. Do you wish to help him to complete this journey?

There were two options below, Support or Oppose.

Of course, he would support it. However, how far would this journey be?

The otaku Zhou Yu suddenly had a bad feeling about this.
