The Rise Of Otaku

Edited by: Esperanza

This was the first time in Zhou Yu’s life that he actually went into the police station. To tell you the truth, he was very anxious. But actually, it wasn’t that scary. After all, it was just a misunderstanding, in front of the sincere apology of Zhou Yu, Liu Ming finally forgave him. But still, Zhou Yu was fined 500 Chinese Yuan for fighting.

Alas, even if it was his own territory, he still couldn’t mess around in the real world.

After leaving the police station, in order to express their apologies, Zhou Fu invited two people to eat in the Tong Fook mansion, and Zhou Yu personally cooked the dishes.

Tan Xiuran was obviously a foodie. With the delicious food, she immediately and completely forgot everything. Not only did she constantly praise Zhou Yu, but there was also a sign that she wanted to become Zhou Yu’s best buddy. And the reason was also very obvious, it was probably for the food.

Although Liu Ming was still a little unhappy, the attitude of Zhou Yu and Zhou Fu was extremely humble, and that guy, who they mistook as a harasser, was actually the owner of the amusement park, Zhou Yu, and this made him have mixed feelings.

Liu Ming didn’t like anime, but he loved playing games, especially the war of soybean pudding. The game, which had been running for a year and a half, currently featured five parties. There were sweet, salty and spicy three parties under the taste category and scallion and coriander under the ingredient category. With those five parties, it fully met the mainstream demand for the soybean pudding.

In order to gain sponsorship from the local soybean pudding sellers, fans were basically competing with each other day and night in the game.

And this favorite game of his, according to the people on the internet, was very likely that it was made by Zhou Yu. This was the reason that made Liu Ming have mixed feelings. Because the person who harassed his girlfriend was his idol. It was too tragic.

“I’m really sorry. I’m not good at talking, so sometimes the things I say often cause a lot of misunderstandings.”

Zhou Yu apologized again, however, Tan Xiuran waved her hand as if she didn’t mind it and said, “since it is a misunderstanding, then don’t keep it in mind. By the way, Mr. Zhou, your lance technique is pretty good, Where did you learn it from?”

Tan Xiuran was truly someone, who had practiced martial arts, she immediately recognized that Zhou Yu was using a lance technique when he was fighting with her, although he was using a stick at that time. Their moves might look similar, but in fact, there were many differences.

Speaking of Kungfu, Zhou Fu was also a little curious. He had just heard from Zhou Yi that those two had a fight in the gourmet street, which was like a martial arts performance that had been rehearsed for a long time. And according to what Zhou Yi said, the moves they used were not some useless and showy moves, but the actual combat moves, which was a very rare scene.

Since the otaku attack last time, everyone knew that Zhou Yu seemed to know a little Kungfu, but exactly how he learned Kung Fu was still unknown because no one had ever seen him use it. Now that there was a girl, who was also very good at fighting, appeared in the park, it proved that Zhou Yu’s Kungfu skill was really not weak, this surprised everyone.

Unfortunately, Zhou Yu did not intend to tell her the truth, after all, no one would believe him even if he told them the truth, “I just practiced it according to the video that I found online. By the way, Miss. Tan, are you really not a music major?”

Zhou Yu had confirmed many times, Tan Xiuran was indeed a ‘music otaku with unique potential for music production’, and her otaku power was also very high, but no matter how he looked at her, the cheerful girl in front of him did not look like an otaku at all.

Could it be that the eyes of the ACG world would also lie to him sometimes?

“Don’t call me Miss this and Miss that, just call me little Tan. I’m studying at a sports college now, and I’m really not studying music. But since I was young, I have been practicing the guitar and I also quite like it. So I formed a band in school and played it whenever there were activities. But I am very amateur.”

What Tan Xiuran said surprised Zhou Yu, but after thinking about it for a while, he kind understood it a little. Many people do not know what to do in the future and do not know what they are good at, so they often cannot choose the right path. Although she had the best talent in music, God gave her a good talent in sports as well, and then after she chose the wrong path, she started to walk further and further on the wrong path.

Zhou Yu did not know music, so he did know how long it would take to learn music, and he also did not know how to persuade Tan Xiuran to change her school. After all, she seemed to have quite an achievement in sports, such as the staff technique she used to beat him up.

If he still insisted on asking Tan Xiuran to change school and study music, if, in the future, she could not learn anything, and her sports career was also ruined by him, he could not just keep paying her for the rest of her life, could he?

Tan Xiuran and Wu Yun were different. Wu Yun liked to play with toys from the very beginning and what she studied were painting and sculpting. It was with her own solid foundation and the guidance from the carpenter beaver that made her what she was today.

However, Tan Xiuran only treated playing music as a hobby, and she lacked professional music knowledge, and currently, Luhua village only had one composer and it was Bai Mo. However, Bai Mo’s composer level was not high, he was not like the beaver.

After comprehensive consideration, neither could he give an appropriate reason to Tan Xiuran to ask her to give up sports and study the music instead, nor could he give enough resources to help her to improve her talent. So if he asked her to stay in the amusement park now, it seemed like it would only harm her.

Alas, if only he could have met her earlier, then he wouldn’t have that many problems.

It was not easy to meet a dazzling person, but he could not hire her. This made Zhou Yu, who liked to collect talented people, very frustrated.

Zhou Fu could see Zhou Yu’s disappointment clearly, but he didn’t understand it. She was just an amateur player, was it really that hard to let her go? If he really wanted to hire a music producer, why could he not choose someone else? Since amongst the resumes they had received, there were many more music producers, who were more talented and experienced than the girl before them. What exactly made her so special?

Moreover, even if this girl had some special talent, how did Boy Yu know about it? At that time, they only encountered each other accidentally, Tan Xiuran was not singing on the side of the road, so what made Boy Yu decide that she was qualified to join Beidou or Qin Zhuan as a music producer?

Or could it be that, in fact, someone in Beidou or Qin Zhuan had already discovered this girl a long time ago, today she just happened to come to the amusement park, so they asked Zhou Yu to ask her if she was interested in joining them?

After the meal, Zhou Yu no longer mentioned anything about inviting the girl to the park. Seeing the dazzling girl leave happily, Zhou Yu couldn’t help but give out a sigh.

After hearing this sigh, Zhou Fu finally could not help but ask, “Boy Yu, is that girl really that good? I’ll keep my eye on her, and if she ever changes her mind and wants to play music, we’ll bring her back again.”

“Up to you, but be careful not to let her get the wrong idea.”

Misunderstanding, this word, Zhou Yu really didn’t want to touch it again, it was a lesson that he learned by spending 500 Chinese Yuan plus having a few bruises on his body.

The misunderstanding in the amusement park had come to an end, but to the surprise of neither party, it continued to grow online.

‘The emperor Zhou Yu was harassing a girl in the amusement park’

‘The rich second generation was harassing a girl in broad daylight, but in the end, they settled it with money, what’s wrong with this country?’

All kinds of scary headlines, combined with videos taken by the nosy tourists at the time, the story was quickly spreading online.

Oh well, you can’t blame those people, after all, it was very hard for people online to dig out anything about Zhou Yu. Now that there was finally something new. They must take this opportunity to dig out more information.
