The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 393: Realistic Minesweeper

Luhua City Radio Station needs a director and two hosts in order to produce programs. Little Muli cannot be the host, because as idols they can only be the assistant host. In terms of the main host, they could not do it. As a TV show host, Zhao Zan could not work in a radio station, so Zhou Yu needed to recruit people again.

Opening the recruitment bar, a pitiful dialog appeared before him. Due to special reasons, recruitment is currently impossible. The reason is very simple, Luhua City has been completely isolated, naturally, Zhou Yu was unable to recruit people from outside.

Zhou Yu downheartedly thought that the radio station might need to be vacant for a period of time, because according to previous experience if he couldn't recruit anyone, he could only get it slowly in other ways, but the odds were not particularly high, especially since there were no criminals in Luhua City. It was impossible to rely on prisons to produce talents.

However, the next day, Zhou Yu found that the Radio station's functions had changed. The original recruiting column disappeared, replaced by a ghostly fortune teller. At this point in time when the residents of the ACG world could no longer enter Luhua city, it was very mysterious that a new professional character could appear. Then Zhou Yu saw him set up a small stall in front of the radio station, and the flag banner beside him was hung with the sign that says 'nine out of ten predictions are not accurate, which was quite something else.

Seeing Zhou Yu coming, the fortune-teller immediately came forward to welcome the guest: "Oh, my lord, is there something bothering you? Come, come, come to my stall. With my prediction, maybe the problem will disappear. 100 Moe coins once, I can assure you that you will not regret it."

The liar's tongue is the most untrustworthy. What's more, your own sign already says that nine times out of ten predictions are not accurate. Zhou Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Brother, with your sign, how are you going to get business?"

The fortune-teller shook his head and said: "It is true that nine out of ten are not accurate, but if you dare to try it, maybe your one will be accurate!"

Anyway,

Since Zhou Yu had nothing to do, he was also curious about how this new thing worked, so he spent 100 Moe coins to try it once. Since it appeared in front of the radio station, it should be related to the radio station, right?

After spending 100 Moe coins, the fortune-teller smiled like a thief. Finally, he had one customer. Although Luhua City has been transformed into an agricultural city, and the consumption level has plummeted, it was still better to live in Luhua City than in the countryside.

After taking the money, he has to do errands, so the fortune-teller took out one thing to start working. Originally, Zhou Yu thought that it would be a Bagua or something, but after a closer look, he didn't expect it to be a sophisticated vernier scale and a calculator. As if he was doing very difficult geometric problems, he began to draw something on a piece of white paper.

Hello... I thought your whole job is relying on supernatural power, why are you taking over an engineer's job?

After some meticulous 'question-solving ideas', the fortune teller raised his head and said: "Today, my lord will be extremely lucky in the southeast of this place. If my lord takes 200 steps to the southeast, there will be an unexpected harvest."

Zhou Yu just wanted to praise this fortune-teller because he was such a clear stream in the superstition world, and he was able to keep up with the modern pace and boldly innovate and use the most rigorous scientific method to explain superstition. He could be described as a figure in geometric fortune-telling. Unexpectedly, his pretentious act only lasted for three seconds, and then he began to say something that did not make sense.

What the hell are 200 steps? There is a huge difference between the 200 steps in the real world and the 200 steps in the ACG world. If there is a building or something blocking the way forward, how should it be calculated? The direction is clear, but this distance is really hard to work out.

Zhou Yu looked at his side. The King of Thieves was always next to him, and he immediately lowered his face and said: "Old man, don't force me to do it, hurry up and make it clear, and then use a real-world standard ruler to give me an accurate answer."

Unexpectedly, this fortune-teller was also a tough character. He refused to give in and said stubbornly, "You get what you pay for. What you want is the service of 100 Moe coins, so I can only say this much. If you feel unsatisfied, then take out 1000 Moe coins, and I will give you more accurate information."

What the hell, trying to blackmail me with terms and conditions?

Thinking that Luhua City's ability to make money has plummeted, Zhou Yu was really unwilling to pay this money. Anyway, he just needed to walk around a bit.

At this time, Zhou Yu needed help from the treasure hunter Yi Hu. He was a professional treasure hunter, if there was any treasure, with his help, it would be much easier to find it.

Yi Hu sat on Zhou Yu's shoulder and started to pay attention to Zhou Yu's steps. After Zhou Yu had walked 200 steps, he jumped down and started sniffing around fiercely with his nose.

"You don't say, it really smells like a treasure."

Since Stupid Bird, Yi Hu, also said so, it was almost certain that there was something around here, and little Firefly also used her tracking skills to confirm that there was indeed a treasure that suddenly appeared in this area. Unfortunately, neither of them could determine the exact point, they only knew that it must be nearby.

Okay, let's dig it!

Zhou Yu took out a shovel with an ACG world attribute and started digging a little bit. Fortunately, it was a muddy land here. If it was cement land, God knows how he could get the treasure. He could not just destroy the pavement of the amusement park. If he really did it, Uncle Fu would definitely talk to him.

After digging for a while, Zhou Yu saw a burst of bright light from the ground rushing toward the eyeballs. Could it be that luck was really overwhelming today, he got the treasure on the first try?

Unfortunately, it was not.

Stupid Bird came over, looked at the cold light, and said: "Boss, this is bad. This is the nine heavens thunder formation. Look at this white jade. It says 3 on it, which means that there are 3 white jade stones nearby that will trigger thunder. Once you dig it, you will be struck by lightning. There will be several special treasure chests in the Nine Heavens' Thunder Formation. Only by finding them can you get the treasures in the Thunder Formation."

What's with this name? Isn't it like a special minesweeper?

Zhou Yu was speechless for a while. He didn't expect that the most enjoyable game he played when he first came into contact with a computer in the past would finally be played again, and it was the real-life version. Looking at the big number 3, Zhou Yu even wanted to steal the white jade directly, because it looked quite expensive.

What should he do? Should he go back to find the fortune teller and use the money to buy the exact location of the special treasure chest? Because the first click in minesweeper is purely based on luck, there were no clues that he could use to judge it rationally. Without clearing out an area that can be logically deduced, it is impossible to find mines.

If he is unlucky, the next strike may trigger the mechanism and enjoy the pleasure of Thunder Tribulation.

It's okay that he did not know it, but now that he knew that there was a minefield below, naturally, he would feel nervous. Although it was certain that the ACG lightning strike would not cause any real damage to him, he would still feel some pain.

It's just that 1000 Moe coins are too expensive. Who knows what treasure this thunder formation was protecting, if it was just some rubbish item, then it would be a big loss.

Gritting his teeth, Zhou Yu decided to sweep mines!
