The Rise of Otaku

The caravan that Hank, the stray cat, organized not only had the flying bird knights but also the knight’s mounts on the ground as well. All the Knight’s mounts from the small pasture had come out to buy goods from the nearby towns or villages that had already established trade routes with Luhua city.

The animals of the amusement park were like very popular little celebrities. Being spoiled by all the tourists, normally, they could do anything they liked in the amusement park. However, unlike before, today they wanted to leave the park.

After stopping them at the gate, the guards called Zhou Qingshu, the pasture manager immediately. However, Zhou Qingshu also didn’t know what happened, so he quickly found Zhou Yu. However, the answer was, “oh, it’s okay, they are just bored with staying in the park all day. Let them play outside for two days. Don’t worry.”

“That’s not a good idea at all. Diandian is the big star of our amusement park. What if something happens to it?”

Zhou Qingshu naturally would worry. Diandian and the other animals in the park were very smart. Many people already wanted to buy them, and the price they offered was also very high. However, Zhou Yu always refused the request like this. Later, they also appeared in a variety show, and their reputations kept rising, so naturally, their prices also went up.

It would be fine that they were still in the park. But no one knows what would happen if they ran out of the park. Being taken away and kept as pets were not the worst thing that could happen to them, what if some stupid people wanted to cook them, that would be terrible. So Zhou Qingshu firmly opposed letting them out, even if they wanted to leave the park, they must not go out alone.

With their fighting power and the fact that the caravans were going out together with them, Zhou Yu did not believe that someone would be their opponent. But if someone used fishing net or tranquilizer gun, or some other tools like that, Diandian and other mounts would not be able to do anything, so it was necessary to send someone to follow them to ensure their safety.

“Okay, I’ll get a few security guards, and split them up. One security guard for each group should be enough.”

Knight’s mounts were very clever and obedient, plus they actually had a job to do, so they would run around. Zhou Qingshu also knew how obedient those animals were, so eventually, he opened the gate, let the caravans out of the amusement park.

With the efforts of the knight’s mounts, Zhou Yu was finally able to ensure that the shops of the mini amusement park would get a constant supply of goods and materials, and the merchants in the city were very satisfied with the lord’s timely help. And the amount of tax that had been collected these days, also made Zhou Yu very satisfied. It seemed that in the future, he should have more events like this.

The number of visitors for the fantasy city was off the charts today, whether it was the ACG world or the real world. Those celebrities that had come to the park uninvited also filled the show with a festive atmosphere. While busy taking photos, the visitors of the park were amazed that Zhou Yu, the owner of the park was able to invite so many stars to attend the show.

A lot of media, stars, and fashion gurus were all gathered together, turning a fashion show into a cultural pageant. Zhou Fu, who was greeting the guests outside the venue, also didn’t expect it at all. He didn’t know whether it was because of the scandal that there were so many people here today.

Naturally, the guests Zhou Fu personally greeted all had high social status. They were all kinds of leaders from different departments of the provincial government. There were more and more projects of the little paradise needed to be approved, and more and more money has been invested in, so the people from the government had to pay more attention to the park now. They just didn’t expect that a fashion show would be able to attract so much attention from everywhere around the world. This kind of influence was not something an ordinary rural amusement park would have.

At the fashion show venue, to everyone’s surprise, Zhou Yu’s personal fashion show was presented in the form of animation. He was truly an ACG emperor. Even when he got into the fashion circle, he still did not forget about the past. He was still that strange otaku.

Leaving aside whether it was acceptable to take the form of an animated fashion show, none of the fashion gurus on the scene raised any objection when it came to the designs that had been presented in the show. There was doubt that the person, who held this show, had the ability to win any fashion design award. So after this show, it was almost self-evident that who was the plagiarizer in the plagiarism scandal.

The only question that remained was why the amusement park dropped the investigation.

The show was also being broadcasted live online. But on the Internet, people would not care about how good or how bad the clothing designs were, they were only interested in the fashion show animation. They wanted to know what it looked like.

The ACG emperor always liked to troll other people, and he did not seem to want to stop after making the animated variety show. Now with this show, it was like he wanted to animate anything he could think of in the real world.

But honestly, it was a pretty good idea. The CG-level show, which lasted nearly an hour, was like a movie. The performance time of each design was about five minutes, which was exactly as long as a song. And the content was not just to have models walking on the catwalk. With the amazing visual presentation and little Muli’s amazing singing voice, the entire show was like a musical and visual super fest.

The skills of Beidou and Qin Zhuan were as impressive as always like a domineering CEO.

A grand fashion show, live music, and well-received clothing designs was a heavy punch to Xiao Yuanxie’s face. However, Xiao Yuanxie, who was also in the same stage, became a coward and did not dare to say a single word.

If there was no plagiarism scandal, with the award, his work may be able to fool some people. But now that Qin Zhuan once again took out super high-quality designs, his true ability was completely exposed.

So, although many online media were calling Xiao Yuanxie out and asking him to design something to respond to Qin Zhuan studio, he just stayed silent. He had to be thick-skinned and pretend that he did not hear anything until everything died down.

Shameless people would become invincible, this was quite true.

After the fashion show, Zhou Fu found Zhou Yu and said excitedly, “Boy Yu, this fashion show was really very great. Not only did it provide irrefutable proof that Xiao Yuanxie copied us, but it also showed other people how influential our park can be. Did you know that I was with those provincial government leaders earlier, and they told me that they had high expectations for the amusement park! Not only did they agree to The underground city project, but they also promised that some future cultural events would be hosted in the amusement park.”

This was indeed a good thing. In the future, the amusement parks would be able to make a lot of money from these events. Zhou Yu was not against it. He was just thinking of holding more events like this one. Luhua city was a commercial city, after all, every citizen of Luhua city depended on visitors to visit them.

“Boy Yu, will this fashion show be held regularly, like the games at the Colosseum?”

Zhou Fu was a little too excited, especially after seeing how many visitors they had today and the economic benefits they gained from those visitors.

Unfortunately, Zhou Yu would not care about this, “do it once a year in the future, they charged me a lot, you know? Uncle Fu, please find a way to make those clothes, but don’t sell them, you can ask the real models to dress them and then show them to the visitors like this fashion show. We can also have different themed shows, such as “the imprisoned princess” fashion show, or “the killing intent within the imperial city” fashion show…”

Zhou Fu thought that the demands that those designers gave Zhou Yu were very difficult to meet, so he did not continue to insist. After all, those designs could easily win any award, they must be expensive.

In fact, Zhou Yu’s heart was indeed aching at the moment. It was just a fashion show, but they charged him a lot of Moe Coins.

He could not help but think of the stupid strange young man who wanted to marry his daughter. He had a construction blueprint of an idol school. If he could get it, He could then be able to raise some idols again.

It made Zhou Yu wonder where that young man was now.
