The Rise Of Otaku - Chapter 140

Chapter 140: Chapter 140 the scavenger

There is no doubt, that the extravagant feasting and the revelry of neon glamour city life are intoxicating, but at the same time, this kind of life also breeds darkness, devouring countless young men and women, who are unable to resist all kinds of temptations. Anyway, this is how the world is, there is nothing you can do to change it. As long as you do not want to be those saints, who want to save everyone, whenever you see such an example in your real life, if they are not your relatives or friends, all you can do is sigh, and then just go on with your life. After all, what you do with your life is the most important.

Guo Yan was obviously such a young person. She was still in college, however, at such a young age, she already began to indulge herself in all kinds of sensual pleasures. With the so-called “friends”, she often went to a variety of entertainment venues. To her, doing something borderline illegal was a fashionable thing. She was just like those typical fallen teenagers.

Such a girl, no matter how pretty she was, she would still be the type of girl, that Zhou Yu disliked and didn’t want to have any contact with the most. However, this odd quest brought together two people, who would never have crossed paths in their lives.

Hopefully, it would not turn out badly.

The first time Zhou Yu saw Guo Yan was in her school. At that time, he pretended to be a passer-by. To be honest, Zhou Yu was still slightly surprised. At least, she was more beautiful than any girl he knew so far. However, when he saw her with the eyes of the ACG world, his slightly surprise immediately turned into a deep sigh, because what appeared on the lens was a depraved girl, who clearly looked like she was addicted to drugs.

When her beautiful face was tainted undesirable color, at least, for Zhou Yu, he could no longer find any charm at all.

Remaining time: 30 hours, 28 minutes, 11 seconds, no sign of fallen tears.

According to the fallen city’s representative, the fallen tear was the last tear, that was shed by the real world people, who had become completely depraved. The scavengers would devour the tear and refine it into the fallen city’s favorite source of energy.

Looking back, on Guo Yan’s shoulder, stood a horrible creature with pustules all over its body, oozing pus constantly. It was currently licking Guo Yan’s face with its long tongue and having a disgusting smile on its face. That was the notorious scavenger.

With it, it meant that the girl was not far from becoming completely depraved. Now there was the last bit of struggle in the girl’s heart, but that struggle may be about to collapse.

Zhou Yu suddenly hated his current position, because watching a girl becoming depraved was not a pleasant thing. But what else could he do? Zhou Yu was not an eloquent person, even if he was good at persuading people, he didn’t think, that the girl would change her mind after listening to a few words from a stranger. Besides, if the girl was like this, you think her family and friends hadn’t talked to her before?

Knowing this, Zhou Yu simply decided to come back again when the time was about to end, in that case, he would not be feeling so bad.

In the remaining 30 hours, Guo Yan returned to school after her nightlife and Zhou Yu also returned to the hotel after stalking her back to the school.

Zhou Yu was stalking her, but he was also stalked by other people, and as time passed, the number of people that was stalking him became more and more. Hacker Gu Renyuan was one of them, although he has admitted defeat, it did not mean that he would give up, especially when the opportunity had just dropped from the sky, there was no way he wouldn’t want to grasp it.

When the quest countdown left with 24 hours, Gu Renyuan also followed Zhou Yu back to the hotel, and then began his second investigation.

For the purpose of Zhou Yu’s trip, Gu Renyuan had thought of a lot of possibilities, the biggest possibility was to meet the mysterious studio. If he kept on following, maybe he could find out the location of the mysterious studio, which would be big news.

However, the result was surprising and disappointing at the same time, after Zhou Yu came to the city, he only did one thing, that was, stalking a beautiful female college student.

‘Bro, you are a rich man, okay? And that woman is not some dignified woman, can you not just throw money at her? Why do you have to follow her like some kind broke and ugly creep? Or is this the new hobby that you have just developed as an Otaku? Or you are tired of playing the stalking game that you want to try out the real-life version of it?

You are a rich man, I get it, no one will understand the rich man’s world, not to mention a rich Otaku’s world. But even if you want to try it, can you not do it more secretly? Bro… There are a bunch of people watching you…’

Because of his profession, Gu Renyuan was quite good at following people, so it was easy for him to tell, that Zhou Yu was followed by more than one person. A few of them were obviously journalists, taking videos and photos all the way. But that Otaku did not even notice it. He still followed the girl around the city.

Shaking his head, Gu Renyuan investigated the background of this girl.

Nothing special, a typical depraved girl. He could not find the least bit connection with Zhou Yu. There was no sign of two, wanting to meet each other either; one followed her friends everywhere to have fun, and the other stalked her in silence. Strangely, even if Zhou Yu had clearly lost her, he would still be able to find her very soon again, as if someone was giving him her location information secretly.

‘What kind of game are you playing?’

The ones that were confused was not just Gu Renyuan, but more and more stalkers that slowly appeared later. Looking at the strange scene, none of them was able to not find a reasonable explanation.

The girl Guo Yan once again went to a bar with a group of her bad friends, whose hairs were in all kinds of color. Although Zhou Yu did not like this kind of environment, he could only frown and then walk in, because there were only around four hours left. The scavenger on the girl’s shoulder had grown so large that it was able to wrap her around like a python, which looked very scary.

The noisy environment made it impossible to think calmly. All he could do was sit at a distance and watch the girl dancing with her friends on the dance floor. Fortunately, they couldn’t see the ACG world, otherwise, seeing a zombie-like girl, who was wrapped around by a big disgusting creature, they definitely would be scared into pissing themselves, they wouldn’t even dare thinking about hugging each other and taking advantages of the girl while dancing at all.

This also gave Zhou Yu a strong feeling as if he had just walked into the movie wicked city. (1987)

As for the girl becoming depraved, Zhou Yu didn’t have any method nor was he in any position to change her mind, so he could only watch helplessly on the side. It was undoubtedly, that he would have a depressing feeling, and it would also naturally make a person want to drown their sorrows by drinking a little bit. Zhou Yu just hoped that the fallen tear would be shed as soon as possible, so he could go home.

Snatching the Fallen tear was a difficult task, if Zhou Yu did it himself, he would definitely be slower than the scavenger, that was wrapping around the girl. Therefore, he could only ask Sir Black and the flying bird knight Bubu to do it. With them two, there shouldn’t be any problems.

At this moment, the scavenger on the girl seemed to have noticed Zhou Yu. It slowly slipped down, squirmed body gradually into a human form, and then walked towards Zhou Yu.

The ACG world creatures, such as those small beasts could also change their body size and become as big as a human in the battle, but Zhou Yu did not expect the scavenger also had such an ability.

But why was this guy heading towards him?

It was said that they would do whatever it takes to snatch the fallen tear. Did he want to get rid of the competitors before the fallen tears were shed? No, it couldn’t be. Bubu was a top adventurer, an ordinary scavenger was no match for him at all.

“Mr. Zhou Yu, please give up, you will not be able to get the fallen tear.”

The scavenger’s tone was strong and it was filled with certainty.
