The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 291: Chapter 291 The Chaotic Land

The filming of “Blood Moon Mist” could only wait for Hao Jing to complete the adaptation of the script, and “little Muli’s Incredible Maze” was decided to end after the second season. Although it actually had more potential, the current Luhua City had no ability to make the third season.

Due to the excessive contact with the ACG world, the production capacity of Luhua City was increased very rapidly. However, it also resulted that when many things were cut off in the ACG world, the weakness of Luhua City’s foundation was also exposed. But this was also a good thing. In this way, Zhou Yu could slow down to consolidate his infrastructure, and then he would no longer need to rely on external forces.

Return to the original development track of Luhua City.

The most important thing at the moment was to have enough ‘stories’.

There was one on the director Jing Ning. After a period of cultivation, its basic shape could already be seen. Unlike Xiaobao’s seedling, which was a silver ornament, Jing Ning’s seedling was a bright moon that was gradually growing from a crescent moon to a full moon. Probably when it was a full moon, this seedling would mature. However, it was a pity that Zhou Yu hasn’t seen any signs of a seedling growing on the girl Jing Ning liked. So this relationship was likely to end in failure.

In order to ensure that the seedling on Jing Ning’s body would not mature early and be taken away by other forces when he returned home during the Spring Festival, Zhou Yu also specially arranged a flying bird knight to bring a ‘transmission totem’ and enough dry food to camp on Jing Ning’s body. As soon as there were signs of blooming, the flying bird knight would immediately report back. Even if it would make Jing Ning feel annoyed, Zhou Yu would still immediately set off to Jing Ning’s home, or make a phone call to ask him to come back to the amusement park.

The Spring Festival was approaching, so the business of the amusement park gradually decreased. After the staff of the Qin Zhuan all left the residential area, it became very quiet. Even Zhou Yu also could not stay in the residential area of the park all the time. Because his parents and grandparents were living in the old house in the village, so he had to go there to help them from time to time.

Since it was nearly the Chinese new year, it was very common for people to visit their relatives. But Zhou Yu did not expect that when his relatives visited him, they also brought some gifts from the ACG world.

On these relatives, Zhou Yu could always see some ACG world items that were ready to be collected. They were not some seedlings like what Xiaobao and Jing Ning had, but some materials like “Mine of Affection” and “The Spring Water of Blessing” etc.

Zhou Yu felt very strange because he did not see these things in previous years.

When he walked in the streets of the village, he also found the same thing on the villagers of Luhua village. However, in the amusement park, almost none of those tourists had those. Two different situations also aroused Zhou Yu’s curiosity.

Since he had nothing to do, he began to try to solve this mystery.

In Luhua Village, it was very common to see the little people of the ACG world, animals, plants, or ores on the villagers’ bodies, and most of them were closely related to their mood and character. For example, Little Rat, on his body lived with a teenager wearing a pair of goggles. At first glance, he looked like the protagonist of an adventure story, which symbolized that his heart was full of adventure spirit.

On the body of the other slightly quiet child, there was a ‘timid moon person’. This moon person looked very knowledgeable but very timid, and just a little movement would make him want to find a place to hide. This showed that this child liked to study, but was not good at communicating with people.

There were also other similar situations, such as ‘Flower of Joy’, ‘Fountain of Sorrow’, and ‘Angry Mine’, which reflected the host’s current emotions at a glance.

In order to do a detailed investigation, Zhou Yu led the flying bird knights to investigate the place outside Luhua Village. Then there was a strange phenomenon. The farther away from Luhua Village, the fewer people would have the ACG world’s items or creatures on them. After walking out of Hongshan Village, he could no longer see a similar phenomenon.

This showed that the source of this phenomenon was related to Luhua Village.

Although it was not a bad thing, it would also make him collect more materials and store in his storehouse, Zhou Yu was still a little worried if he could not figure out what happened.

Such a strange phenomenon, the mini people in Luhua city also did not seem to have any idea about it. They had heard of those materials before. Although it was quite rare, it was not impossible to get them. It was just that they had never heard that those materials would grow on top of the people in the real world.

Normally, only those, who had high otaku power, could produce the items or the creatures of the ACG world, and most of them were very valuable stuff. It would not be those slightly rare items.

Such a strange phenomenon has also attracted some adventurers to investigate, but it seemed like they also could not find out anything. The connections between the Fallen City and the Starlight City and Luhua City have been completely cut off at the moment, so no elite personnel has been sent to Luhua city from those two cities. Therefore, it was still an unsolved mystery at the moment.

The answer to this mystery, Zhou Yu believed that it was probably under the ground.

The Hell Walker caught some time ago was originally an incomplete ACG world creature, but he was later sent underground so the residents of the underground world could do research on it. Based on the time the Hell Walker was sent underground, Zhou Yu guessed that their research should have some results, and these abnormal phenomena were probably some of the side effects of the research.

With this thought in mind, he immediately contacted Rubin the Hedgehog and asked him to bring a message to the people who lived underground.

After an hour, Rubin replied.

“Research on the incomplete creature has indeed made some progress, but the anomalies in Luhua Village are not the side effects of the research. According to our investigation, Luhua Village was originally a Chaotic Land, and there is a crack here that is constantly leaking the force of the ACG world into the real world. Probably, this anomaly is caused by the concentration of the ACG world’s force becoming higher and higher in the air. If you want to confirm, you can invite an outsider to live in Luhua Village. If a similar phenomenon occurs after a month, it proves that our conclusion is correct.”

This was easy. Zhou Yu could just wait until the staff of Qin Zhuan to return after the Chinese new years finished. Then he would be able to see if there were any changes to them.

In addition to the investigation of this problem, the underground people also revealed a message to Zhou Yu. The research of the incomplete creature would be finished very soon, and it would be very helpful for their research on the crack in the chaotic land. They hope that Zhou Yu could reach the underground city as soon as possible, so they would present him with the research results.

It turned out that there was a group of people now studying the crack of the chaotic land under the ground of Luhua village.

But this was actually not surprising. After all, the barrier between the real world and the ACG world in Luhua village was broken a long time ago, but it could exist for thousands of years, this phenomenon indeed could arouse a lot of people’s curiosity, so it was not strange that there was a group of curios scientists studying this phenomenon.

But they were able to live under the ground for so long, and even the oldest citizen, the old dragon king, has also never seen them. This kind of perseverance and determination was really a bit scary.

It made Zhou Yu wonder what they had found out, and he was now very looking forward to seeing the research result.

Anyway, the underground city project has been approved, and construction would begin in the next year, so he would be able to meet with them very soon.
