The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 86 See Little Niannian again



Chapter 86 See Little Niannian again

The water park had become a hot topic in Luhua Village recently. Curious old villagers had been to the park and played inside. Although it was very good, it was more like a place for young people. So they usually brought their grandsons and granddaughters to play, and then they would have tea and chat with other old people in the rest area.

A good amusement park soon became a place for those old people to have a tea party. In fact, it was also true. In order to make the elderlies happy, Zhou Fu even prepared some mahjong, poker and other things in the rest area. All of a sudden, there was no one in the village’s senior activity center, everyone came here for leisure.

Actually, it was cooler near the water. Therefore the water park was much better than the senior activity center.

It was a hard job to take care of children, not to mention the seven or eight-year-old boys, which were even worse. Now that there was a water park, they could “throw” them into the pool and then children could play for half a day, without making any trouble. There were also several lifeguards watching, so they didn’t need to worry about anything.

Most of the summer discount card applications were made by those elderly people. Plus from time to time Zhou Fu would get some local rich people to host birthday parties and graduation parties at night, the business situation improved rapidly.

Uncle Fu was indeed a very competent businessman.

In terms of Zhou Yu, he still only occasionally went to the water park to have some food there. Anything regarding the management such as hiring people and managing staff or other things, he didn’t even bother to ask Zhou Fu about it. Some employees didn’t even know that the man, who wore a pair of beach trunks all day, was the owner of the amusement park.

Zhou Shuyu was the one that was the most surprised. Although she knew Zhou Yu was a hidden rich man very early, she didn’t expect that when she came home again, this rich man even built an amusement park.

Well well well, you would never be able to understand the rich man’s world. So far away from the provincial capital, but he still wanted to build an amusement park? Would people really come far away to visit this park? Could it be that this lazy fellow, who wanted to visit an amusement park, did not want to travel far to the city, so he built one himself?

Zhou Shuyu would never know that this ridiculous idea was actually the closest to the real answer.

After buying a ticket, she went into the indoor wave pool to experience it. Then she saw the young man, who was wearing beach trunks, playing with a group of naughty kids. Dexterously, he even made a lifelike Sphinx. It made a bunch of little children extremely envied of his skill.

He was still the same as one year ago. Totally like a big kid.

“Hey, big boss, do you still remember me?”

She approached him and greeted him. However, she didn’t expect that he would really have a “who are you?” look on his face. It was so embarrassing that it was even worse than the first time she met him. He really did not change much.

Actually, the girl that Zhou Yu saw through the eyes of The ACG World had changed her hairstyle. It made her look like a completely different person. Although she was still the same person one year ago, she was no longer wearing a school uniform. Instead, she was wearing fashionable girl’s clothes. If anyone was still able to recognize her this way, then it must be a true lover.

Lowering his head to check the person again. Zhou Yu finally recognized the person.

“Oh, it is you Shuyu. Well well well... Look at you... so fashionable and different. I almost could not recognize you.”

In fact, Zhou Yu could not remember much about Zhou Shuyu’s appearance, but her obsession with making money still left quite an impression in Zhou Yu’s mind. He still remembered that she had helped him to sell some models, which slightly improved his living conditions.

‘Hmmm... too bad it is not a swimsuit.’

After all, the village was not as open-minded as the city, and it was not a real beach. To enjoy the real views of the beach, it would probably still need to wait for a while.

They then talked for a while, but because there were no common topics, Zhou Yu was basically only listening to her talking during the entire conversation. After all, Zhou Yu had been out of society for too long, and he was not familiar with many things that were currently very popular among young people.

Secretly, he took a sneak peek at Zhou Shuyu’s Otaku Power. Originally he thought since she liked to make movies, her Otaku Power might be very high, But unexpectedly, it was only 0.8. She was clearly a Real-lifer (AKA: A person with a rich and satisfying offline life). Even Little Rat’s Otaku Power had increased to 1 because of his constant influence.

Moreover, there was additional information after that: “directing ability low and medium potential”

“Pfff....” Zhou Yu couldn’t help spitting out a mouthful of fruit juice.

‘Er... I mean... younger sister, your future is not very bright. If you have “low ability and high potential”, you still have a chance to improve. But with these stats, it is really hopeless. Even if you studied very hard to learn all the directing knowledge. I don’t think it would help.’

However, he did not dare to say this. Although Zhou Yu had low EQ, he still would not say, “Hey, your ability is too weak, you’d better change your major quickly.” to a girl right in front of her face.

Besides, in this world, it did not just depend on one’s ability. Maybe with her luck, her dream might really come true one day.

One’s life goal does not necessarily have to be climbing up an unattainable peak. Standing at the foot of the mountain, watching the mist and rain, covering the top of the mountain, is not bad either.

In the end, Zhou Yu did not say it directly but ask obscurely whether she planned to stay in the directorial circle after graduation.

Fortunately, this girl seemed to have a little self-awareness. After stretching her body, she said that it would not be that easy. It was way too common to have graduates working in the field that was not their majors. As long as she had a psychological preparation, and regarded filming as an interest, she would be alright.

After sending away Zhou Shuyu, Zhou Yu was more curious about his own abilities. Why there was no ability and potential predictions when he looked at other people? So far, the only one he could see was Zhou Shuyu. The others were only showing the power points and personal information.

If he could see everyone’s abilities and potentials, then it would be very awesome. At least, he would be a great teacher since he would be able to fully understand which career was the best for every child. Even if he could not be a teacher, he could still be a fortune teller to guide people.

However, no matter how he tried to find out, he still could not find anything. Even the old dragon king and other villagers of the ACG world also did not understand this ability, so they also could not answer Zhou Yu.

Anyway, there was no point to study something that he did not understand. That was just too boring.

After taking a bath, he went back home. Then in the old yard, he saw a familiar airship parking in the small village of the flower greenhouse.

‘Isn’t this the special airship of Beidou management company?’

Going into the greenhouse to have a close look, sure enough, it was indeed that group of people, and naturally, Little Niannian also came back. After seeing Zhou Yu, he flew over with tears while shouting father. Although it was awkward, he could only try to console him a little. It was not easy for the little fellow to fight for his future outside alone for so long.

Anyway, it was time to reward Little Niannian for his hard work.

After Zhou Yu’s parents left, finally no one would torture the small vegetable field. And all kinds of vegetables were ready to be picked at the moment. Asking Uncle Guan Er to cut off all the vegetables that they could eat, he stir-fried them into a few dishes and served them to Little Niannian and other people from the Beidou company.

They were eating while talking, Xia Huan, the Executive Producer of Beidou, told him that he was here to seek help from him this time again. Beidou took a breath of relief after the last TV Drama went viral slightly. But recently they had encountered some trouble again. It turned out that, there was a rival company called Nandou, which was desperately trying to destroy Beidou. The rival company was a big five-star company, so they were struggling to compete with them.

It took them a lot of effort to finally obtain an A-rated movie script, which was a very rate script, but they noticed that they were running out of the money. Then they thought of Zhou Yu.

*Facepalm*

Zhou Yu was completely speechless. Not only did this Xia Huan took over a company that was on the verge of bankruptcy. He even had a problem with the big boss in the relevant industry. This was clearly a text-book face-slapping trope in the modern genre novels.

According to the standard plot development of such stories, Xia Huan would eventually defeat Nandou, revitalize Beidou, and became the big boss of the entertainment industry and then had a harem that had countless beauties.

Unfortunately, it seemed that he was still in a start-up period.

Nevertheless, if Zhou Yu could not be a protagonist of such stories, then he did not mind to be the secret grandpa or old masters in those stories, to help the protagonist.
