The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 243: Chapter 243 planning

The amusement park once again had another construction boom, but this construction boom had nothing to do with the underground city project, which was a project that was still in the approval process. It was Hank the stray cat, who brought a group of mini workers, building many things everywhere in the park.

Building a small chair or a shed, as long as some places needed to be improved, Hank would be there with workers. These little things could not be made of the materials in the storehouse, because in that way, the people from the real world would see them and knock them over. There were so many children coming to the amusement park that you can’t expect each of them to be so well-behaved as to just look on the side instead of taking them away in their backpacks.

So, it was better that they couldn’t see it, lest they would be constantly building these small things in the future.

In addition to the construction boom, the business boom was also coming.

Every day there were merchants coming to report to Zhou Yu, hoping to enter Luhua city to work, every merchant came to Luhua city with a carriage that carried their family. The population of Luhua City was rising rapidly because of this.

Interestingly, the environment in the ACG overlapped with the environment in the real world, and after reporting to Zhou Yu, the first thing that those merchants did was to find their houses in the residential area of the park. Each villa could be inhabited by several small people, who would build their own mini houses without making the places too messy.

Some lived in the drawer, some lived in the wardrobe, those who liked the cold weather still liked to hide in the refrigerator, exactly like Bai Mo. The whole residential area, except for Zhou Yu’s house, which was the inner city, you could see them everywhere.

The staff in the Qin Zhuan studio probably would never imagine that there would be so many little people living in their private rooms.

Some of the mini people, who were curious about the real world people, would hide on top of people’s heads to watch them work, study, read books, watch TV, or play video games with them. Occasionally, there would be naughty little people making fun of the people from the real world by drawing graffiti on their faces.

Don’t laugh, maybe when you are reading this chapter, there were also some mini people reading this chapter with you. Maybe they were also complaining that why this chapter was so short and when the next chapter would be released.

In the past, the residential area was very quiet, even after the staff of Qin Zhuan moved in, they were only able to occupy a small corner of the residential area.

Now the residential area was not quite the same, a variety of carriages were coming in and out of various villas, the merchants’ wifes’ were commanding the children to arrange their rooms, and the scenes of people cleaning their houses drying their clothes were everywhere.

Walking in the villa, Zhou Yu could always meet with little people’s warm greetings. Although Zhou Yu didn’t like to interact with other people from the real world, he didn’t mind greeting other people in the ACG world. Sometimes he also felt a little weird, clearly, it didn’t feel that bad to talk to people, but why didn’t he like to talk to the people from the real world?

Unable to figure it out, he decided not to think about it.

Once the accommodation was settled, the merchants began to move downtown. What interested Zhou Yu was that they did not have a fixed profession. But when they entered a shop, they would immediately become a merchant of that particular shop. For example, after entering a restaurant in the real world, the little people would also open a restaurant.

Model stores, toy stores, even tour guide centers, safety centers, etc., were also seamlessly connected to the real world. The merchants were roughly the same, but the scenery would have some changes, some stores would change so much that Zhou Yu sometimes couldn’t even tell what the shops were selling.

In the past, he had seen a maid café that was decorated as a haunted house in the woods, and now, he could see the security center had been transformed into an adventurer’s guild. Those adventurers, who had just walked out of the guild, were the people that were going to patrol the park to ensure the safety of the visitors of the ACG world. Originally this should be the work of Zhou Yu, the Lord of this city, but he did not expect those merchants would take over the task.

Hank’s commercial bureau probably would need to give money to them.

Those little merchants were very fast, in just a few days, all the shops were occupied, the steady stream of merchants also stopped of its own accord. However, there were still some wandering artists entering the city, performing from streets to streets to earn a little money.

The number of these artists needed to be controlled. Too many of them would make the streets noisier and less attractive, and the complaints of tourists would be increased. After all, the small amusement park was about to charge the mini people of the ACG world, and the commercial bureau has already taken over the management, and it would start to manage it formally after everything was completed.

Zhou Yu had also played a few amusement park simulation games, so although he did not know exactly how the amusement park of the ACG world should operate, he had a general idea. The entertainment facilities and environment needed to be considered as a whole, and the biggest indicator was the tourist’s satisfaction. Once it started to decrease, they would need to think about what went wrong.

When it comes to the entertainment facilities, it was time to spend money again. Previously, the facilities of the park of the ACG world also overlapped with the park from the real world, so the number of entertainment facilities was not that many. With the ACG world’s population, it should be very profitable. However, there were not many profitable amusement parks in the ACG world.

And the reason for that was that the ACG world’s environment corresponded to the real world’s environment, and so did the entertainment facilities. But the problem was that the facilities that attract the tourists in the real world may not be able to attract the tourists in the ACG world. For example, the people in the ACG world could even do bungee jump from airships, so the entertainment facilities like roller coasters would not interest them at all.

Although some entertainment facilities were popular in the real world, they were not popular in the ACG world, and some facilities that were very popular in the ACG world, but they could not be reproduced in the real world. If Zhou Yu wanted to create an amusement park where he could make money in both the real world and the ACG world, he must manage those contradicting factors well.

The current small amusement park was actually a very rookie-level amusement park. Compared to those who had spent tens of billions of dollars of investment in large amusement parks, Little Paradise amusement park was really just a rural amusement park.

Of course, this was only the current situation.

With the current situation of Luhua city, the development of the tourism and entertainment industries would be the first priority. In addition to the mini amusement park, the idols such as little Muli, Bai Mo, Li Weinian, and other people needed to use their skills fully. Whether it was a theater, a concert, or a variety show, there were still many areas that could be developed.

Unfortunately, he did not have money.

Up to now, the construction of Luhua city has hollowed out the wallet of Zhou Yu. Without money, all he could see were the red options whenever he clicked a newly built building.

Alas, it was time to open the park and continue to improve the environment of the amusement park step by step while making some small profit.
