TROO Chapter 29 Consecrate

Zhou Yu was truly tired that day. His both legs were still painful when he woke up the second day. Fortunately, this type of muscle soreness happened very frequently in the past two months, he was already used to it. It was just that it was slightly severe today.

With the school bell rang out in the village, and the sound of kids shouting “good-morning-mister…” reverberated in the air, it made people can’t help but feel nostalgic about the old days they went to schools.

Facing the sunny sky, Zhou Yu spat out the foam in his mouth and finished brushing his teeth. He then returned to the toolhouse to check all the scale models to make sure everything was running normally. Only after that did he finally started his day.

Little kuai who was woken up by Zhou Yu was still very sleepy. Both of his eyes still hadn’t opened. Only until he was thrown into the Taoist temple did he finally woke up reluctantly. The old immortal crane was tranquil and calm, it took little kuai into the main palace and then closed the door, leaving Zhou Yu, who wanted to see what would happen, speechless.

‘Uh… Will this old Taoist do anything unspeakable to my second child?’ while lowering his head to get close to the temple to listen to the movements inside, Zhou Yu’s imagination began to run wild.

No strange moaning sounds, the second child also did not scream for help, it was very quiet as if there was no one inside. This strange silence lasted for two or three minutes, then suddenly a loud thunder rang from the inside of the palace, and it instantly shocked Zhou Yu, who was trying to eavesdrop.

‘Damn… what exactly is the old Taoist doing inside, that there are even thunders inside the palace?’

Just when he wanted to push the door open to check what happened, he saw the old immortal crane walked out of the door in a tranquil and calm manner.

As Zhou Yu looked inside the palace, all he could see was a cloud of thick white fog that he could not see through. The old Taoist did not even talk to him, he just directly began to appraise and consecrate the statue that they had taken from the brigands.

The mysterious statue was placed in the empty courtyard of the Taoist temple, so he could see the whole process of the consecration, but Zhou Yu was more anxious about his second child now. He did not see him coming out with the old immortal crane. Did he fail or did he just ascend to the higher realm?

It was at this moment, a fifty-something old man with a pair of reading glasses walked out of the thick fog. When he saw Zhou Yu, he immediately said, “father, I’ve succeeded it.”

‘Who the fuck are you!’ Zhou Yu was shouting hysterically inside his mind. He gave the old Taoist a fresh and youthful young man, but in the end, he got a wrinkled old man. More importantly, the old man even called him: father…

‘Uh… I suddenly feel like I am very old.’

Although he was complaining, he still understood that anything in the ACG world should not treat seriously.

His second child became an old man, was already the fact, he could not change it. He just treated it as that his second kid aged very fast. What he should be focusing right now was the stats of his second kid. This was directly related to the quality of the animation that would be produced. So he could not be careless at all.

Yang kuai – an ordinary animation director. Concept art: 35; Storyboard: 52; Animation:45; Sound effect: 38; Special effect: 50; Personality Traits: Fantast (increase the quality of fantasy works by 10%); Procrastination Maniac (have a very high probability of delaying production time).

It was understandable to have an ordinary aptitude. After all, there weren’t any training institutes in the village. Having an ordinary aptitude was already not too bad. One positive personality trait and one bad personality traits, so it could be said that it was not bad overall.

Then he shifted his attention to the statue. As the old immortal crane waved the fly-whisk in his hand, in the air roughly one meter above the Taoist temple appeared a dark cloud. With faint blue lightning appearing inside it from time to time, it was clearly a thundercloud.

‘Is this the legendary Heavenly Thunder Cultivation Method?’

With the lightning cracking more and more frequently and the noise of thunder became more and more loudly, Zhou Yu moved a few steps back instinctively. He didn’t know what the Taoist was doing, but it looked very dangerous. So he’d better keep some distances from him.

It was at this moment, the thundercloud seemed to have gathered enough energy. With a loud noise, a white raging lighting bolt struck the statue on the square fiercely. It instantly lit the statue on fire, and in the fire, there seemed to be a black shadow.

Then as the old Immortal Crane waved his fly-whisk once again, the dark cloud instantly disappeared and the fire on the statue also became smaller and smaller until it also disappeared. All it left was a totally black statue.

But soon, the black burned layer of the statue slowly came off one by one. When all the black pieces fell off the statue, a domineering old man with a pair of glasses appeared before him.

‘Damn… it could even change its appearance.’

The statue of Wan Laiming: increasing the artistic quality of animations by 30 points, automatically adding Chinese style special effect to animations by 30 points, Cutout animations could be produced without requiring the special talented people.

‘Holy shit, it seemed like he hit the jackpot.’

There was no need to think. Such a good thing should be immediately given to the animation base. Before he went out to do the quest chains yesterday, he had actually already bought the animation base blueprint and handed it to the carpenter beaver.

Looking at the time, It should be completed by now.

The basic animation base could have two animation studios. If required one property management company before it could be formally activated. Then the same as the game company, he needed to hire the teams.

Unleashing the hand of miracle: a crazy team of psychiatric patients, a lustful team of perverts, a greedy team of gluttons.

At this moment, Zhou Yu, who was already familiar with this type of recruitment process, met the most difficult choice in history.

Of course, the psychiatric patients and the greedy gluttons were out of considerations. They were clearly no use to him. The problem was a lustful team of perverts. The special skill they had was to increase the quality of hentai animations by 20%.

‘Hentai! Hentai! Hentai!…’

As if there were many bullet comments flashed through his mind, it made his mind go completely blank for the entire three minutes.

There was a sinister little demon kept whispering in his ear, “Keep it! It is Okay, after all, no one will be able to see it. You can just enjoy it yourself.”

On the other side, there was a sacred little angel kept whispering, “Zhou Yu, you are a pure and innocent man, there are thousands of anime fans waiting for your work, don’t be fooled by evil desires!”

Zhou Yu’s hands were constantly shaking. He hesitated for a very long time as if there were two armies fighting inside him. One army was shouting, “Long Live Oppai…” The other army was shouting, “Burn them all…” In short, it was a mess inside his mind. But eventually, he still chose to cancel.

At that moment, as if all the energies were drained from his body, his character became entirely grey-colored[1]. All he left with was the endless regrets.

‘Rationality my ass, morality my ass… my ass…’ Alas, it was all his own fault, he couldn’t blame anyone. But then again, even if it happened again, he would probably still do the same.

Dispiritedly, he clicked the search button again: a lustful team of perverts, a sacred team of humorous practitioners, and a silent team of the deaf.

‘Dammnit, it really came back!’

But this time was much easier to choose. Because what followed behind it was a very rare team with two positive effects.

A sacred team of humorous practitioners: increasing the quality of Xianxia animations by 20%, increasing humorous points of all types of animations by 30 points.

It was currently the best team he had encountered.

In terms of a silent team of the deaf. It would be able to produce Tom and Jerry this type of silent animation. And it would increase the quality of this type of animations by 20%. But the downside of this team was that it was only able to produce silent animations.

Having compared three of them, Zhou Yu didn’t hesitate. He chose the sacred team of humorous practitioners straight away.
