The Rise Of Otaku - Chapter 149

Chapter 149: Chapter 149 Fun Recipes

The little boss went fishing, busy doing nothing. This sentence had already become a popular amusement park joke amongst the park’s employees. No one could figure out why, but the little boss just liked to go fishing every day, but no one had ever seen him catching one fish. This kind of persevering spirit has made countless people want to dive into the water and hang a fish on his hook so badly.

The fishhook that Jiang Taigong used was a straight hook, but the one he used was clearly a standard hook. How could he not catch a single fish? However, no matter how much others complained, the little boss still continued this pointless behavior day after day.

Zhou Fu also couldn’t figure it out either. He had asked him several times, but failed to get the answer every time. Gradually, he became used to it.

Arriving at the river, the first thing that caught his attention was that fishing rod, which was beautiful to an unreasonable degree, and then it was Zhou Yu, who was very concentrating on fishing. Although he was concentrating on doing it, the result was still, that he had zero harvests in the entire year, which was also a kind of unprecedented achievement.

Strange bait was probably the culprit of the zero harvests. It also made him wonder where Zhou Yu bought those bait from. Zhou Fu occasionally accompanied him to fish for a while, but he never caught any fish after using the bait. God knows why Zhou Yu chose this kind of bait and no matter how other people talked to him, he would not stop using this kind of bait.

“Have you finished fishing? I need to discuss something with you.”

Zhou Fu sat down on a small stool next to him. Looking at the few remaining baits, his eyes revealed a faint of disappointment. It was still that useless bait. Even if he threw a handful of them into the water, not a single fish would eat it. It might even scare away all the fish, which could be considered as a legendary fish repellant.

Zhou Yu, however, really enjoyed it. There were many dumb fishes in the ACG world. Different kinds of fish could be found in different places. And in different seasons, there would be different fish species. It was very interesting. Some time ago, he had even fished in the wave pool of The Billow Sound Pavilion, and the result was that he had actually caught some sea fish. It was truly miraculous.

Seeing that today’s work was almost finished, he packed up the fishing rod and began to listen to what Zhou Fu wanted to discuss. Generally speaking, uncle Fu wouldn’t look for him if it wasn’t a big decision. After all, he had given full control of the operation to him already.

“It’s about ‘Fantasy City’. The project is almost finished, and the TV crew wants to come in early to familiarize itself with the set for shooting later.”

‘So it is this thing, I almost forget it.’

Fantasy city is a western Fantasy themed amusement facility. It has cost more than 10 million Chinese Yuan, although it was nothing compared with those large amusement parks’ investments, which were often more than billions Chinese Yuan, with two popular animations, it had already become extremely popular, many people were looking forward to the opening of Fantasy City. This time, the cooperation with the TV program crew, was a prelude of the opening, and also a promotion.

Zhou Fu attached great importance to the event, but Zhou Yu was annoyed by it. Because the arrival of the TV crew was bound to put all kinds of restrictions on his actions.

“All right, let them in. But it was agreed that I would not give any interviews unless I gave them my consent.”

‘This kind of thing must be made clear in advance, lest they will think that I am an arrogant guy.’

Zhou Fu also knew Zhou Yu’s temperament. He had told the program team already. However, in terms of how much they would follow, it was very hard to tell.

“And what is it with your game called Fun recipes? Tung Fook mansion is completely different now. Each chef knows dozens of different dishes. It’s like a star-rated restaurant.”

Zhou Yu knows how to make games, this is the information that everyone in Luhua village knows. Because his first bucket of gold was earned selling a game. On that day, he also took a gang of naughty kids to rob the supermarket. Zhou Fu was the owner of the supermarket, therefore, naturally, he still clearly remembered it.

It was just a game, however, it was able to help a group of park chefs improve their cooking skills. This became very interesting.

Zhou Fu, who was now no longer the owner of a supermarket, also knew some about anime and games, however, he still didn’t understand the game that Zhou Yu had just made. It’s not like a game at all. It’s more like a cookbook.

He had never heard of games being used in teaching, but it was clearly the main purpose of this game, and it was definitely working. Moreover, the chefs at Tong Fook mansion also loved it so much, that they were looking forward to more games like it, after all the dishes in the game had been learned by them. But no matter how they asked around, they could not find any games, that were similar to the one that they played.

Zhou Yu was surprised, too, that the game, that was simply made to practice his cooking skills, seemed to be getting more and more popular in a strange way.

“Oh, this is a learning software I developed to learn how to cook. Chubby Li and his friends said they wanted it, so I gave it to them.”

Hearing what he said, Zhou Fu almost wanted to jump into the river to calm himself down. ‘What’s wrong with you? Just because you want to learn how to cook, you went all the way to develop a game? And then give the game away so casually? Does developing a game not need any money? or because you now have money, that you can squander it?’

When anything that is plentiful, no one will cherish, Zhou Yu is this type of person. In the eyes of others, developing a game is a very hard job. However, to him, it is just one day’s wait. Of course, he would not cherish it. He had too many games that were just like this, and only a few of them were taken out to make money. The rest of the games was basically exclusive to him only.

There were also some games, that were made because he saw other people’s games were pretty good, so he either copied their ideas or content. The games like those couldn’t be released at all. It was only for himself to have some fun.

Zhou Fu did not continue speaking, but hurriedly stood up and walked towards Tung Fook mansion. Fortunately, only the cooks in Tung Fook mansion had played the game, and the game didn’t leak outside the park, so the loss could still be recovered.

Gao Shu, who worked for the Otaku Gaming Portal, has not gotten a new work from the Brothel Taoist for a very long time. He also didn’t have other choices. Zhou Yu’s animated film was currently making a lot of money, naturally, he would not be interested in the little money that was earned by selling games. A zombie game “alive” only had a million or two million net profit, it was not comparable to the profit made by the animation at all.

Today, however, he received a call from Zhou Fu, the general manager of little paradise amusement park, saying that Zhou Yu had asked his team to make a game for him to learn how to cook, but had never planned to release it.

“Pff…” a mouthful of blood almost spat out from Gao Shu’s mouth.

“Goddamnit, this rich Otaku!”

Gao Shu’s first reaction was similar to Zhou Fu’s. He didn’t understand what was going through Zhou Yu’s mind. Even if it was a few million, it was still money. Why did he act like as if it was a few pence on the street, that he didn’t even bother to pick it up?

“Brother Zhou, I, I really have no words for him. Please help me to keep an eye on him. If there is any new game, please inform me at once. I’ll be very grateful to you!”

Gao Shu felt very helpless. Regarding Zhou Yu this eccentric person, he had already raised the white flag, and decided to be close to the people, who were close to Zhou Yu. As for this game, Gao Shu still needed to try it first, but with the brothel Taoist’s skills, the game shouldn’t be bad.

However, no one expected that it would be such a strange game.
