The Rise Of Otaku - Chapter 72

Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Ending of Dōjinshi

After successfully defending the duck shed, Sir Black and Diandian returned in triumph. Keeping their heads high, while their chests forward, they were like soldiers who had just returned from the battlefield. Uncle Qing also constantly praised their great achievements, saying that their fighting strengths were incredible. He even mentioned that when Diandian was mature enough, he wanted to borrow Diandian for breeding, and raise a group of battle chickens, so he wouldn’t be afraid of rats anymore.

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu himself also had some doubts. Did the animals he got from the ACG world still have the reproductive ability? If so, so what kind of breed would the hatched chick be?

Anyway, whatever it was, as long as it would not breed any dinosaur, it would be fine.

Winter vacation slowly passed. But the village did not change much from last year, except for a new open space in the west of the village, which was the construction site of Zhou Yu’s rural amusement park. The consulting company’s people were very committed to their works, and all kinds of qualifications were soon delivered to Zhou Yu’s hand one by one. Soon they would be able to start the construction.

However, Zhou Yu had no construction plan so far. Even after meeting the requirements of the villagers of The ACG World, the land that was given to him would not be occupied much. The real opening date of this rural amusement park was totally unpredictable. It seemed like he needed to open the rural amusement park a section by section slowly in the future.

The first section was the Water Paradise, which had already been approved by the government, and the construction blueprint and the model had also been completed. Now that once the professional construction team was found, then the section would be started at any time.

The people from the consulting company were very curious about this young boss. It was the first time for them to see someone who would pay all the money so quickly, but so annoyed when other people wanted to discuss the specific procedures with him. It was totally unlike other entrepreneurs, who were full of passion and enthusiasm. His doctrine seemed to be: As long as I gave you the money, please stop bothering me as much as you can, but do finish the work, so I can make money.

But there was no such thing in the world. A consulting company could only help with applying all sorts of certifications. So what about the subsequent advertising? And what about the management? Even if he did not want to manage the company, he had to wait until everything had been properly arranged. Since this project had been started, the people who shook their heads in disappointment were much more than people who nodded their heads in approval. In the end, probably it would be just a game for rich people.

Advertising? Zhou Yu was too lazy to do it. Whether someone would come to visit the park or not, he did not really care. After all, the daily expenses of running such an amusement park could be deducted from the earnings of the games.

Management? Don’t be silly, he couldn’t even handle his own problem, let alone others. He did not have that kind of talent. He just wanted to treat it as a big manor. If he thought of something, he would build it. If he did not like it, he would just tear it down.

If his parents and the old village chief knew about Zhou Yu’s real thoughts, they would probably want to beat the shit out of Zhou Yu.

Anyway, after the winter vacation, the construction team was also ready. After hanging the vulgar name of the amusement park – “Little Paradise” on the gate, and setting off firecrackers, the construction of the project was officially begun. Zhou Yu did not invite other people, but the villagers from Luhua village still came to observe and celebrate the opening of the construction.

After having such a big land, although it was barren land and not by the main road, Zhou Yu suddenly felt as if he was an extremely wealthy landlord. Walking in the construction site, fantasizing all kinds of buildings appearing here in the future, he was still quite happy. In addition to the Water Paradise, there was another building under construction. It was the building, where Zhou Yu would be living in the future.

At the center of the rural amusement park was a group of residential villas for visitors, but at the moment only one was under construction. Zhou Fu shook his head when he saw it. The amusement park was so big, but the only thing that was being constructed was just a water park. And that thing was also limited to the summer season. Was he planning to just open the amusement park one season a year during the summer only?

Originally Zhou Fu also planned to help Zhou Yu by investing some money in Zhou Yu’s project. However, seeing this kind of situation, he began to hesitate. His money also did not fall from the sky. Boy Yu might be able to afford it, but he still had a family to feed. There was no need for him to join Zhou Yu to waste money.

Building a water park was not a matter that could be finished in one or two days. Zhou Yu felt tired after going to the water park construction site several times. So he continued to play games at home.

……

Do you guys remember that hunterxhunter Doujinshi artist? This incredible domestic manga artist had been persistently releasing manga chapters one chapter a day every day. The Doujinshi story plot was already getting further and further away from the original plot. Up to now, no one doubted that as long as the Imprisoned Taoist asked, countless manga websites would fight each other over the right to invite him to join their websites.

Speed, high quality, how could such a manga artist not go viral?

The only downside was that the Taoist was reluctant to disclose his identity, and he did not communicate with other people. Fans were speculating that the Taoist should be a workaholic, who drew mangas all day long. Otherwise, it was impossible to maintain such releasing speed. Today, however, the long silent Taoist suddenly posted something different.

“The hunterxhunter doujinshi is finally coming to the end. The doujinshi is expected to end in two months.”

It was like a big stone stirring up a thousand waves.

The entire manga community exploded. Why would the Taoist suddenly want to end this doujinshi series? Was he running out of ideas or was the story really coming to an end? Or maybe the Taoist finally decided to embark on a professional manga artist this career path?

All the domestic manga websites were on the move, and tons of invitations instantly flooded the Taoist’s inbox. The people from the original hunterxhunter publisher were finally able to wipe the sweat from their foreheads and let out sighs of relief. This fellow genius artist finally decided to stop. The original author had already suppressed his urges of wanting to ask this doujinshi artist to stop drawing hunters, several times.

It was normal for the hunter doujinshi to come to the end. After all, the knock-off comic studio was only limited to draw three hundred chapters. It had been more than half a year since he released the first doujinshi chapter last summer. What Zhou Yu needed to do now was to get a formal comic studio, and then started a new original series.

As for which publisher or website, he had not decided yet. He wanted to wait until the comic came out first and see the quality of the comic. From the experiences he gained, from the games and the animations he made, it would definitely be divided into three tiers, and the quality of the third tier should be comparable to the level of the top domestic manga artists.

But what if there were accidents? What if he could not find any good manga artists? Or what if the formal comic studio needed some strange requirements to create manga? Or maybe the formal comic studio was different from the game company and the animation base. Maybe the manga that was produced by the third tier of the comic studio was still very bad?

Reputation, this kind of thing was very hard to build. But it would be very easy to ruin it. If the level of Dōjinshi was very good, but the original series was very bad, it would only mean that the artist did not have any talent at all.

Anyway, Zhou Yu decided to just wait and see.

To accumulate enough Moe Coin, he gave up playing the Gashapon machine. For two consecutive weeks, he played the old animations to those children. This made the face of the shadow demon fill with a resentful expression. After all, it still wanted to have his curse removed earlier.

‘Sorry man, I’ve been really tight recently. Just endure it for a while.’

After buying the blueprint from the vending machine, he gave it to the beaver and the monkey to construct. The next day, a genuine comic studio was finally born in the yard. At this point, manga, animation, game, all three major areas of the ACG world were finally complete.

What came next, was naturally to recruit manga artists. Zhou Yu, who had enough money, naturally needed to find the artists with the best attributes. Because there could only be one manga artist in the level 1 comic studio. So it was necessary to select the best one.

However, today was definitely not his day, although he had pressed the search button ten times, he still could not find any manga artists that had good attributes.

Getting his teeth, Zhou Yu decided to carry on.

…………Translation Q&A……………..

Arthur’s Question

By the way, I know what happened after the japanese invaded mainland china during world war 2 and how many children had shameful names.

But the kid named little rat shouldn’t have anything to do with that right? Why is he called little rat?

Doggo’s answer

Nothing relates to the Japanese invasion. In old China, people couldn’t figure out why children were easily getting sick, they thought that it was because there were ghosts haunting those kids. by given kids silly names such as Dogballs, dogshit, hammer, little cat, etc would confuse ghosts so they would leave kids alone. Then it became a tradition… and Chinese people are quite superstitious. so older generations still calling their kids that way.
