The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 310: Chapter 310 The Star Map Master Contest

The existence of virtual Cards was really shocking because it represented a brand new game mode, which has always only appeared in web game advertisements. However, Zhou Yu, who has always insisted on being mysterious, suddenly took out the real thing, which was too sudden.

The technology of holographic projection was not something new, there were many countries and institutions studying it, but no one had heard that there was an actual playable prototype.

Could it be that there was a mysterious technical team behind Zhou Yu?

Once Zhou Fu understood why there were so many reporters in the amusement park, he immediately found Zhou Yu, hoping to understand what really happened. If there was indeed such a team, then they could consider setting up a technology company and then convert those people’s achievements into huge benefits.

However, Zhou Fu was still thinking too much. Because Zhou Yu didn’t have this plan at all. He just said in a very casual tone, “Uncle Fu, don’t think too much about setting up a technology company, it was just two toys. They made those two prototypes while they were making Star Map and the cost of making it was too high. It was not possible to commercialize it, so there was no possibility of mass production.”

Zhou Fu couldn’t tell whether Zhou Yu’s words were true or not, because he hadn’t heard of anyone, who was willing to spend a lot of money making the prototypes but then gave up in the end. Since the prototype was already out if you continue researching, GM (GUNDAM Mass production) would not be far away. Otherwise, all the research funds would be wasted.

However, even if he continued persuading him, Zhou Yu still wouldn’t change his mind, “Uncle Fu, you know which type of person I am, And you are also very clear about the situation of my teams. If they are willing to give to me, they will give to me, but if they said that it can’t be done, I can’t force them to do it. I am not their leader. In other words, it is their business, not our business, we just need to focus on managing our amusement park.”

Of course, Zhou Yu knew that Zhou Yu was very unlikely to be those mysterious teams’ team leader. At most, he just knew about those people online. He was lucky that he could gain the trust of those people, but he shouldn’t take the luck for granted. If he insisted on setting up a company and making those people angry, it would have an opposite effect.

Thinking of this, Zhou Fu also stopped saying anything, he was slightly disappointed.

With such a good development opportunity, they might become a big international company. But it seemed that this dream was not going to come true.

Therefore, the amusement park’s statement to the outside world was that the prototype of the Star Map Discs indeed existed, but there was no plan to mass-produce it, and at the same time, the amusement park was also not preparing to set up a technology company.

Moreover, although it was a pity, it was not Zhou Yu’s team that developed this prototype, so they could not tell them what to do.

In the face of reporters this time, Zhou Fu absolutely did not use any acting skills, because he felt pity from the bottom of his heart. Such a promising future flew past him like that, how could he not feel pity.

This explanation was difficult to convince people. If it had nothing to do with Zhou Yu’s team, why would they give the precious prototype to Zhou Yu? Was the other party not afraid of being reverse engineered? However, the amusement park indeed did not set up a technology company, nor did it announce any content related to the holographic game. If it wasn’t for the videos, other people would not even know this game existed.

But who made this holographic game prototype? It seemed that the people that made those prototypes weren’t working under Zhou Yu, and their status may even be higher than the emperor Zhou Yu, otherwise, they would not give him the precious prototype like it was nothing.

This was the charm of the real tyrant.

Not only did Zhou Fu know about what kind of person Zhou Yu was, but many people online also started to realize it. There was nothing interesting about him. If it weren’t for his tyrant friends, he would not have had the status he had today. It was no wonder that Zhou Yu would work so hard to create his own studio, perhaps the real Qu Zhuan, as well as the excellent teams like Beidou, Hu Tu, and Ying Xiu those teams weren’t actually working under Zhou Yu.

This was a theory, and there were a lot of people supporting it.

So the question was, who was this mysterious tyrant or maybe tyrants? And why did they refuse to reveal their true identities? Moreover, why would they dump all their resources on a country boy like it was nothing? No matter how rich they were and how they did not care about those things, it was not usual to do something like this.

Therefore, the endless investigation started to appear again. The only clue and lead people had was Zhou Yu. However, no one was able to find anything that could lead them somewhere else.

It was so mysterious that it was extremely puzzling.

The investigation on Virtual Cards had no progress, but the amusement park did not let go of this golden opportunity, and Zhou Fu’s team immediately issued an activity statement. The park would be cooperating with the otaku gaming portal to host a Star Map Master contest. One month later, the top ten players on the Star Map game could go to the amusement park for an ultimate Star Map Master battle, and the winner would get a huge reward.

As soon as the news came out, all the players were very excited.

Even if they wouldn’t get to the top ten, they could still go to the amusement park to witness the magical Star Map Disc and the duel between great players. It was definitely a wonderful thing.

In the amusement park, Zhou Fu didn’t expect that the event would be so popular. The tickets for the on-site battle were almost sold out. So they decided to make the contest a grand event. After all, it would be no problem to get a duelist arena out in a month.

The main theme of the Star Map event was a battle arena, plus cosplay convention, and players could also witness many Star Map Virtual Cards. The most important thing was that people could download the fairies they liked using their mobiles.

Using a mobile phone to scan the QR code of the card and download the fairies was a function that was almost forgotten by Zhou Yu. Because Zhou Yu didn’t use a mobile phone, and later on he was addicted to the holographic battle, so he completely forgot about this thing. It was only until later on when a curious employee of Qin Zhuan studio scanned the card using his phone, did they finally discover this feature.

After scanning, a message would pop up, asking people to download an app, and the fairy that people scanned would appear on their phones after running the app. Although it didn’t have any battle function, it just looked beautiful, but for fans of the game, keeping a fairy in their phone was a very cool thing to do.

Then the intimacy setting started to show its charm at this moment.

With the feeding and playing function of the app, the interaction between the fairies and the owner would directly affect their intimacy level. It was just like a mobile phone pet game. Of course, many girls liked this app a lot. And Zhou Yu, who did like to use mobile phones, also tried to keep one. But in just a few days, the fairy was dead.

Whoever came to the amusement park duelist arena could watch a lot of virtual cards, and they could even activate the holographic images by themselves under the guidance of relevant personnel. So it could be considered very good welfare.

In addition, the amusement park would occasionally release some rare cards for scanning. For example, on the day of the Star Map Master contest, there would be a rare card “Seraph” on display.

All of these were means of attracting customers in amusement parks.
