The Rise Of Otaku

Chapter 104 Become A Master

Wu Yun likes Zhou Yu's exquisite works. Every building is full of life. She felt like there really was a little man living in it. Originally, she thought that she had to buy one and take it home, even if it meant to pester the owner non-stop. But she didn't expect that she would be accepted as an apprentice by her idol at first sight. This was just like the plot in online novels.

"Er... Although I have accepted you as an apprentice, I don't know how to teach people, so it will mainly be self-study. I'll give you some tools and samples, so you can study them yourself. But if there is something you don't understand, you can ask me."

Of course, Zhou Yu would not really teach someone carpentry. His carpentry skill was probably even worse than Wu Yun's. At most, he would break all the buildings into parts and then give Wu Yun the structural designs, so she could study them by herself.

Even so, Wu Yun still nodded her head and agreed. She, who is obsessed with handmade models, would abandon everything if she could see those delicate models every day.

After successfully accepting an apprentice, Zhou Yu arranged Wu Yun in a room in Doll Villa. This is a villa that is full of all kinds of strange dolls. Even the gate of the villa is the big mouth of a giant doll. At first glance, it can be a little scary, but it is like a paradise for Wu Yun. With this kind of working environment, she is even willing to work without getting paid.

Of course, Zhou Fu would not really be that stingy. After all, she was Zhou Yu's apprentice. Whether there would be a stable supply for the gift store in the future, it would depend on whether this girl could inherit Zhou Yu's skills or not. In addition to the basic salary, Wu Yun would also receive a commission for her works. The reason for this additional benefit was, that Zhou Fu feared that this girl might become as lazy as Zhou Yu. She might end up like Zhou Yu, lying down all day long. After all, Zhou Fu was not very confident about those people who shared the same interest with Zhou Yu.

The set of carpenter tools, that Wu Yun got from Zhou Yu, came from the gashapon machine, Zhou Yu also had a set already, but occasionally the gashapon machine still gave him those tools. It would be really a waste to keep them in the tool-house and let dust cover them. Anyway, Wu Yun could not see the ACG world, and she could not detect the weird light emitted by these tools.

After sending away Wu Yun, and just when Zhou Yu was about to eat something delicious to celebrate this, he saw the carpenter beaver rushing toward him and shouted, "Quick! Old Dragon King told me that there is a very talented carpenter student. You need to help me at this time. My ancestral skill cannot be wasted."

The news was spreading pretty fast in the ACG world, however, the beaver's moving speed was still quite slow. The person the old dragon king talked about was most likely Wu Yun. She was already the employee of the amusement park now.

After listening to what Zhou Yu said, the carpenter beaver finally let out a sigh of relief. Zhou Yu this lazy boy, was reluctant to inherit its carpentry skill, which upset it for some time. Now it had a talented student, if it missed her this time, it would regret it for the rest of its life.

The beaver, who was in a good mood, sat next to Zhou Yu and had a meal with him. These dishes were all made by the vegetables of the ACG world, so the beaver could also enjoy them. Taking out a small plate and pushing it toward the beaver, the small plate of food was like a big pot for the beaver. With just a little bit of food, it was already enough for the beaver to eat.

"Young man, in the future, whenever you see this kind of person, remember to make them stay. They are all very talented people. But they will only be helpful to you after you inspire all their potentials."

With the beaver's words, Zhou Yu finally understood, where he could use the ability of detecting other people's otaku power. The skilled otaku with high otaku power will have high training potential. After accepting them as apprentices and training them, they are very likely to become very competent skilled people in the future.

Of course, it will not just depend on the otaku power, it will also depend on what their hobbies are. If it is some perverted Otakus or some otakus with strange hobbies, what does he need them for? Playing some train molester games with them?

.................

In the evening, Wu Yun still wasn't sure about the things that had happened to her today. She felt like it was just a dream.

It was really dramatic.

After graduation, all her attempts in finding a job were failed. Then she saw those delicate ship models on TV. Her original plan was to come here and see those models to comfort her injured soul. But she didn't expect that she would be immediately accepted as an apprentice of master Zhou Yu. Her work problem was also solved at the time. It was so smooth that it was kind of scary.

Just when she was rolling left and right, couldn't sleep on the bed, the phone in the room suddenly rang. Picking it up, it turned out that it was her master, "Xiao Wu, can you come out for a second. We still have a formal ceremony need to go through."

This Damn beaver was so old fashioned. Saying that it was the Sect tradition, it insisted on doing some kind of apprentice acceptance ceremony, and it had to be in the night when the moon was the brightest. But it was clearly just a carpenter. Why did he need to have a sect? Without knowing the context in advance, people might even think that it was organizing a gang.

Unfortunately, the beaver would not give in, no matter how Zhou Yu tried to talk to it. In the end, he could only set up the place personally according to the beaver's requirements. It made the place looked like those scenes on the TV, which was so embarrassing for Zhou Yu.

In the middle of the night, a young man asking a young girl to come out, no matter how one looked at it, it still didn't sound right. However, Zhou Yu didn't know what was wrong with Wu Yun's head, he was surprised that Wu Yun this girl didn't even question him anything.

But this made him also very worried. Such a naive girl, if she got into society, how many times would she be deceived by other people.

Although Wu Yun might not have enough experience in society, she still burst out laughing when she saw the place was decorated like a movie set.

'What years is this? Why do people still doing the apprentice acceptance ceremony?'

"Don't laugh, this is very serious!"

Zhou Yu was embarrassed. But he still had to do it. Because the beaver was currently standing on his shoulder. And it was the real master of Wu Yun.

Bowing down to her master and then serving a cup of tea to show her respect, she then lit the incense in the moonlight and made a little oath. After that, Wu Yun formally became the apprentice of the Moon sect. As the first and the only apprentice of the Moon sect, she immediately received a present from her master, A manuscript of the beginner level Luban secret manual.

It was the manuscript, that Zhou Yu spent his entire afternoon to copy from the secret manual, that the beaver's ancestor passed down to it. Otherwise, Wu Yun would not have been able to see it. Although it was written in a notebook, and it didn't look very valuable. The knowledge inside the notebook was genuine.

"Now you can leave and study it. Once you think that you have mastered all the knowledge in there. I'll test you. If you passed the test, I'll pass to you another level of the secret manual."

The beaver made it looked like a game. Wu Yun had to leave up, one level at a time. It made Zhou Yu wonder if there was a legendary manual. Holding back his embarrassed feeling, Zhou Yu quickly passed the manual and said the above words, and then ran away at his fastest speed.

It was so embarrassing. If every Otaku apprentice needed to go through the same process, his life would be very difficult in the future.

Anyway, Wu Yun finally became the formal apprentice of the beaver. And she also began her carpenter learning journey. With her talent, it would not be difficult to learn everything in the beginner level manual. It would just require her to practice more often and make some models more often. As long as she was able to endure the hardships, she could master it at no time.

Need materials? She just needed to tell Zhou Fu. He would immediately purchase the materials from uncle Dashan. So there would not be any material shortage problem. Just wait until Wu Yun to finish her apprenticeship. Then the gift store that sells building models and ship models will be finally open. So Zhou Fu would only want Zhou Yu to accept more apprentices like Wu Yun.
