The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 219: Chapter 219 The Fruit Of Creativity

Translator: Doggotranslation Editor: Doggotranslation

After settling in the apprentices, the amusement park also quieted down, and Zhou Yu resumed his relaxing otaku life.

Recently, he had also restored the friendliness level of Bubu the squirrel back to Five Stars, and it once again became his master. However, since Zhou Yu didn’t pay much attention to learning the lance technique now, it just focused on training the students at its Sky Knight’s Academy.

Learning martial arts was just for self-defense, he didn’t really need to be a grandmaster in martial arts, so it was good enough if he was able to protect himself. Doing the lance technique practice for half an hour a day until he was sweating, and there was even no need to use his brain energy value. This level of practice was more than enough for him.

The precious brain energy value should be used somewhere else, such as painting or drawing.

Senior Zhou Miao’s main skills were painting. Although his reputation still remained to this day after his death, he did not leave a single work behind. All his works were taken back to Star Light city or the fallen city in the ACG world. However, Zhou Yu did not intend to become some famous artists. He just wanted to reach a level that would allow him to draw some decent drawings.

Then the fast-handed Wang became Zhou Yu’s master, but he also had the same trouble as Bubu the squirrel. Zhou Yu, the owner of Luhua village, did not devote himself to study at all. He just took it as a hobby, and only practiced his drawing skills when he wanted to kill some time. A jack of all trades was probably the current state of Zhou Yu. It was just like he was decent at everything, but not especially adept at any one thing.

All the remaining brain energy value he had, he basically used all of them in drawing. Although it could not help him to reach a master level, with the help of Ruyi Magic brush, he would still be able to draw something that looked pretty good.

Looking at the latest work – “Luhua landscape”, that Zhou Yu had just completed, the fast-handed Wang shook his head and sighed, “please don’t tell other people that you are my disciple. This level of drawing skill is just like that of a street painter, and you are still proud of it?”

In the eyes of a master, naturally, his drawing was full of imperfections. But in the eyes of Zhou Yu, it was already very decent, at least, it would not be a problem to impress other villagers, “it is none of your business, I like this level. Besides, I don’t understand the artistic spirit of drawing you talked about.”

Looking at it from left and right, he was very satisfied with his work. Then he took out a seal, dipped it in seal paste, and pressed the seal on the paper. Then a boxy signature, “Luhua Immortal Seal” appeared on the bottom of the paper.

The fast-handed wang shook his head again. Seeing Zhou Yu did not want to improve himself, he also felt helpless. He even pressed a signature on it as if he was some kind of great artist, it was so shameless. “fine, you can do whatever you like. But you have to do me a favor, the creative tree will soon yield fruits. At that time, if Oba wants to take it away from me, you can’t help him.”

The creative tree has been planted for some time. When Zhou Fu came to see it, he just said that it was just an ordinary apple tree, and it was just unusually small. It made him wonder why Zhou Yu wanted to keep it as if it was some kind of treasure. He did not even allow anyone else to touch it. Of course, very few people have access to the back garden.

Although it would yield fruits soon, the tree would only yield fruits once a year and there would be only one fruit. Therefore, for Oba and the fast-handed Wang, whoever had the first fruit had a very important meaning to them.

How to distribute the fruit of creativity, this gave Zhou Yu a lot of headaches.

The fast-handed Wang joined Luhua village longer than Oba, and he has been working hard to update the comic book “Assassin”, and recently, the comic was even adapted into a live-action movie. So it could be said that he had a lot of contribution to the village. And although Oba was a newcomer, the production of the variety show was not a small contribution either. Not only did it bring a lot of money to him, but it also brought a lot of items and business relationships to Luhua village, so for the development of Luhua village, he also helped a lot.

It would be better if the fast-handed Wang and Oba could decide on their own. The problem was that the two men were nearly on the same level, and their competition(fight) would go on for many days and there still wouldn’t be any result. However, if they wanted to get the fruit of creativity, they could not always be in the stalemate.

Moreover, the fruit of creativity was very rare in the ACG world. It was inevitable that someone else would also covet it. In order to avoid any accidents, they should split it as early as possible.

And then the person who was going to make the final decision was Zhou Yu.

Hesitated, Zhou Yu could only ask in detail, “what kind of benefits exactly will this kind of fruit bring to you guys?”

“If Oba eats it, in one year, he will be able to produce a much more interesting variety show, and he will be able to fully train an Idol immediately. If I eat it, the comic book studio will instantly be upgraded to a studio that will have an original name, and the quality and speed will also be improved.”

The fast-handed Wang’s explanation made it even more difficult for Zhou Yu to decide because both of those two options were very tempting. Because after having the original name, the animation based had the option to shoot animation, and the improvement of the quality of the animation that was produced was extraordinary. And although he did not know what kind of changes the comic studio would bring to him, after it was upgraded, he was sure that the new comics would become much more interesting.

But Oba’s variety show was also needed, especially that he was also able to train an idol fully. Little Niannian would be back soon, the gap between him and little Muli and Bai Mo was still very big. If he could be trained by Oba, it was still possible for him to become a good idol.

The temptation of both sides were both very big, and the fruit of creativity only yielded once a year, so if they missed it this time, one person would need to wait until the next year to do it. So how should he split it?

.........

Zhou Yu was having difficulty making a choice. However, the decision of those, who coveted the fruit of creativity, was firm and resolute. Especially after the news, that the creative tree was going to yield its fruit, was leaked out, the flow of the people in the mini Luhua village has increased dramatically, many of whom were here to steal the fruit.

Recently, the mini Luhua Luhua was like it was hosting a martial arts congregation, all kinds of adventurers have been gathering here. There were people entering the village furtively, but there were also people entering the village without concealing their purposes and lived in Jack’s pub. In short, Zhou Yu often saw adventurers staring at each other aggressively as if a fight could break out anytime soon.

The fruit of creativity was like some kind of legendary material, it attracted countless martial arts masters to come to the village. Looking at the situation like this, on the day the fruit was yielded, an unprecedented fight would certainly break out.

In the eyes of the ACG world, there was also a countdown clock on the fruit of creativity. Before the countdown was over, he also couldn’t pick the fruit, otherwise, the fruit would be useless.

Since a fight was inevitable, and he could not pick the fruit in advance, if he wanted to make sure that he would get the fruit before everyone else, he needed to come up with a plan. After all, if he couldn’t get the fruit, it would be useless to think about how to split the fruit between Oba and the fast-handed Wang.

However, Luhua village had the upper hand in this situation. He could ask all the masters from the village to stay in the tree at that time, so it shouldn’t be difficult to get a fruit, right?

The fast-handed Wang shook his head and said, “it’s not possible. when the fruit is near its maturity, it will explode with unprecedented power, preventing all the people from approaching it. We will only be able to watch it from 10 meters away. And it will last for 10 minutes. Only when it is ripe and when the magic power disappears, can we approach it again.”

Zhou Yu”s body also had the attributes of the ACG world, so this magic power would affect him as well.

Even if he asked other ordinary people to help him, he was not sure that the other person would be able to pick the fruit in time. Besides, if other adventurers got the fruit, the person Zhou Yu asked to help him would see an apple floating in the air. It would be very scary.

So in the end, he still needed to rely on himself.
