The Rise Of Otaku

Translator: Doggotranslation

The news that the amusement park would be hosting a fashion show quickly spread in the media. While the plagiarism scandal hasn’t died down, Zhou Yu suddenly wanted to hold a fashion show? The intention behind this became very obvious.

If the design that won the contest indeed came from Qin Zhuan, then after the investigator arrived at the amusement park, with the testimony of the original designer, plus the physical evidence, disqualifying Xiao Yuanxie would be done within a few minutes. However, the result published by the investigator was that Qin Zhuan studio didn’t have any hard evidence, so it was impossible to determine whether Xia Yuanxie had plagiarized their work.

But if it was not Qin Zhuan’s work, why host a fashion show at this time? Were they trying to freeload some popularity, or was this a subtle way to express their dissatisfaction? Maybe the clothes were actually designed by the studio, but for some reason, they couldn’t tell other people.

What was the story behind this?

It would be impossible for the outsiders to know the real reason behind it, and the purpose of Zhou Yu was actually very simple, it was to prove everything using their real abilities. Qin Zhuan had this kind of abilities, it was just that people didn’t know about it. Since other people had already taken advantage of it, Zhou Yu simply decided to let them see it one more time, lest some people would think that Qin Zhuan was trying to gather fame using this incident.

“Boy Yu, how could you be so reckless. With so many journalists in the park, and you also want me to invite so many fashion gurus to be judges. What if the designs aren’t beautiful enough? Or they don’t like the designs? Isn’t that shooting yourself in the foot?”

Qin Zhuan had zero influence on the fashion circle. If zhou Yu could bring out the original designer, then it would be great. But it would be disconcerting to hold a fashion show without a designer.

“Don’t worry. The designs that will be displayed in the fashion show will still be the works of those designers, there will be no problem.”

Zhou Yu was very confident. The clothes in the second season of the show were all specially made by the major management companies in the ACG world. Their quality was just as good as before, there was nothing wrong with it except that he could not keep it for himself.

Apart from the fashion clothing in the opening of the animation, there would be no problem to commoditize other types of clothing in the show. The people in the product development department were also extremely confused by this rule. The little boss’ explanation was that he did not get the authorization from the original designer, which was even more strange since they had already agreed to let Qin Zhuan use them in the animation, but why not agree to commercialize those clothes?

It is really a bunch of strange people.

Anyway, the show was ready, and all that remained was whether the fashion gurus would be satisfied with those designs. If the review was exactly the same as the last few designs, then the ability of Qin Zhuan studio would be fully acknowledged, and they would also be able to join the fashion circle at any time.

It was just that would Zhou Yu really be able to attract those fashion gurus?

Zhou Fu was very skeptical because Zhou Yu did not invite any professional models. Instead, he decided to show it using animation.

As soon as Zhou Fu heard this plan that day, he started to feel headaches. The animated fashion show was again something that has never been done before. Those fashion designers were not Otakus, how would they accept this form of a fashion show? If they got a bad evaluation, they would lose a lot more than what they would gain from this.

While Zhou Fu was worried, the day of the show finally arrived.

This was the first time that journalists were allowed to get into the amusement park. They were allowed to walk freely in the park except for the residential area. In this extremely rare occasion, the number of cameras in the amusement park has reached a point where you can see several of them almost at every corner of the street.

As the first grand event of the amusement park, although the decision was a bit hasty, they still needed to try their best to make it great. Fortunately, the amusement park had already made some celebration plans, and now they were just using those plans in advance. So what the reporters saw was a jubilant amusement park.

The performance venue was set in the hall inside the castle inside the fantasy city, which was naturally magnificent and amazing. Especially Lina, she just used two days to see all the places in the residential area of the park. However, she did not expect that there would be such a beautiful building outside the residential area.

The designer of this amusement park was absolutely a genius-level master, who was very good at both the ancient and modern architectural designs.

Not only the designer had many styles of designs, but they were also extremely good at every style. Why hadn’t such a designer been heard of before? Oh, right, as the owner of the park said, they all liked to live in seclusion.

God, how did the owner of a countryside amusement park know so many masters?

Except for the front row, which was filled with fashion gurus and journalists, the rest was reserved for the audience. To Zhou Fu’s surprise, though the tickets were expensive, they were sold out very quickly, and there were even some people intentionally re-selling the tickets at a very high price.

The arrival of some of the celebrities made the castle even more magnificent. Some of them were not even invited by Zhou Fu, but after hearing about such a fashion show, they got a ticket through all kinds of connections. Oh well, this fashion show was very strange and eye-catching after all, not to mention that it was even related to the fashion circle. Moreover, it was very difficult to get a ticket to those foreign fashion shows, but it was much easier to get one for a domestic fashion show. Whenever there was a chance to freeload some fame, who wouldn’t want to do it?

It was originally planned to be a fashion show, but now it completely became a celebrity red carpet show, this was something that Zhou Yu did not expect.

But Zhou Yu was more concerned about the fashion show in the ACG world.

As the world’s first amusement park that served both the guests of the ACG world and the real world, when it comes to a celebration event, naturally, it needed to consider both sides. What surprised Zhou Yu, even more, was that the people in the ACG world were even crazier about the fashion show than in the real world.

As soon as the mini people heard that a fashion show would be held in Luhua city, and many world-famous idols would become the models in the fashion show and walk on the stage in person, the portal of Luhua city flashed continuously, many mini people from all around the world came to Luhua city constantly. In the next two days, the number of tourists exploded. The number of horse-drawn carriages, airships, and Knights mounts in Luhua city also increased dramatically

Walking in the amusement park, Zhou Yu could see all kinds of mini people on top of the people in the real world, enjoying the scenery of the amusement park and some entertainment facilities. And there was also a long queue of people buying tickets in front of the fantasy city. It was extremely shocking.

With the number of tourists increased rapidly, the workload of the commercial department was also increased, and Hank, the stray cat, was so busy that it was spinning like a spinning top. Having more tourists in the mini-park was also a test for the mini amusement park. Especially for those shops that had just opened. Facing the number of customers that were almost several times or even dozens of times more than usual, Zhou Yu didn’t know if they could handle it.

…

Since the morning, Zhou Yu’s work log has been filled with the urgent notices of all the shops in Luhua city. To meet the demands, Zhou Yu could only deploy all the workforce he had to help the shops to deliver materials. He had even sent out the flying bird knights.

When there were too many customers, it was also problematic.
