The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 141 Conflict

In the noisy environment, a man and a creature, that no one else could see, were talking ‘kindly’ to each other.

Zhou Yu did not have any feelings about the scavenger’s words, but Bubu was not happy at all. He lifted the lance in his hand and sneered, “just a little scavenger dares to boast in front of this grandpa! This grandpa is laughing his ass off. With just one lunge, this grandpa can easily send you back to the fallen city.”

Indeed, in mini Luhua village, Bubu was a top master, no matter the adventurers from outside the village or the bounty hunters, Firefly and Dean, they were no match for him. The scavenger was the lowest creature in the fallen city, there was no way, that he was able to defeat the higher class – the flying bird knight.

The scavenger quickly shook his hand and said, “oh, it is the famous flying knight Mr. Bubu, please forgive my bad manners. If it is you, who want the fallen tear, I naturally will not dare to compete with you. But if it is Mr. Zhou Yu, then the situation is different.”

‘What does he mean? Does he mean that I am the bronze player, that would cause teammates to lose the competition?’

Zhou Yu did not understand it. He did not plan to participate in the fight for the fallen tear personally, because he would be very likely to slow down Bubu. With Bubu and Sir Black, they could easily get it. So what was the basis of this scavenger’s confidence?

The scavenger continued, “well, how about let’s make a Fallen Agreement. Normally, there is just one Fallen tear per mine. But occasionally, there will be two. If you leave now, Mr. Zhou, and let me look after this mine, I will surely give you a fallen tear afterward, and if there is the second one, that will be my reward. What do you think?”

This contract didn’t look so bad, at least, he didn’t have to sit there and watch the girl becoming depraved. Turning a blind eye to the current situation seemed the best choice for him at the moment. The icy flower only needed one fallen tear, and the probability of generating the second one was not high, so it was a good thing if he could get one without doing anything.

But was the agreement credible?

Seeing Zhou Yu’s questioning eyes, Bubu said, “Fallen Agreement can be trusted, and a scavenger has no courage to violate the agreement, otherwise, he will be thrown into the eternal purgatory of the fallen city to be tortured.”

Now it was clear, that the scavenger probably knew, that he could not defeat Bubu, so he wanted to try his luck. If there was the second one, everyone would be happy.

Just when Zhou Yu wanted to accept, and when the scavenger took out the agreement happily, the bar suddenly had some commotions. A young man dressed in white suddenly rushed in and ran to Guo Yan’s table, saying something with a fierce expression. But because the music was too loud, Zhou Yu could hear anything.

Seeing this situation, the scavenger’s face instantly changed. He then hurriedly urged Zhou Yu to sign the agreement. It seemed, that there was something imminent about to happen. Curiosity kills the cat, Zhou Yu suddenly felt, that he should continue to watch how it would progress. Anyway, there was still some time, and there was no need for him to rush.

As the argument became acute, the young man dressed in white suddenly threw a punch at one of the bad friends of the girl. But soon he was restrained and dragged to the back alley by those people. It seemed like he was about to be beaten up by those people. Looking at the other people in the bar, they simply continued their enjoyment as if they didn’t see anything.

Zhou Yu was quite timid. If it was before, he would probably pretend that nothing had happened. He would lower his head and quickly left the place. But now he felt very conflicted. He wanted to help, but he felt like he was not the antagonist in those web novels, he might end up with even worse injury than the young man, who dressed in white.

“Bubu, you go and have a look.”

In the end, Zhou Yu decided to let Bubu check it out first, if the situation was not too bad, he would not intervene.

In the alley behind the bar, a brawl was going on. A group of yellow-haired men was happily beating up a young man, but Guo Yan had a complex expression on her face as she watched the beating on the side. Bubu was immediately enraged when he saw it, but he couldn’t do anything to the people in the real world. Sir Black was only a bird, it would not change the situation much, therefore, he quickly returned to Zhou Yu.

It was obvious, that Bubu was willing to step forward. Zhou Yu could only sigh and say to Bubu, “gather your friends to disrupt them, let’s get that young man out first.”

Then Bubu used the bird summoning technique again. But this time, they just needed some larger and more aggressive birds, not like the last time, in which the entire sky was covered with birds, attracting too much attention.

Seeing Zhou Yu got up, the few people, that were following him secretly, immediately realized that it was about to get worse. Guo Yan and Zhou Yu’s relationship made people puzzled, and the young man dressed in white, who appeared later was even more strange, no one knew what kind of drama was this.

However, it was clear, that the young man dressed in white was beaten up, and Zhou Yu seemed to want to intervene. Those thugs would not let Zhou Yu go easily just because he was a stranger, what if they really hit Zhou Yu, then it would not be good at all. But those reporters didn’t think that way, they had already taken out their cameras and followed Zhou Yu out of the pub excitedly, planning to capture the big news.

There were also some people worried about Zhou Yu’s safety. What if something really happened to him, and what if he couldn’t continue to make animated movies? Thinking about if they could not hear the voice of little Muli in the future, that would be a disaster.

So, there were some people busy filming, and others busy making phone calls.

In the back alley, a little action movie was currently ongoing

Perhaps Guo Yan still had some conscience, she said to the leader like man, “big brother Xiong, just forgive him this time. If you carry on beating him like this, you will get into serious trouble.”

Big brother Xiong, patted Guo Yan’s butt and laughed, “what, you worried about this pretty boy? This punk dares to harass my woman. Of course, I need to teach him a lesson! Hit him harder!”

Normally, at this time, an antagonist would appear and shout, “let go of that young man!” Unfortunately, Zhou Yu didn’t want to be an antagonist, he just let in some big and aggressive birds to cause some troubles for them, and then he could sneak in to save the young man.

The plan was good, and at first, it went well. Those raptors formed a formation in the air under Bubu’s command, and then rushed into the alley as fast as they could, and then they started to kick those thugs’ assess mercilessly.

Some of those thugs were startled, and a few of them were scared into running around covering their heads. Even that big brother Xiong also covered his head using his both hands, and squatted on the ground. His clothes had already been torn several big holes, and he was crawling on the ground trying to get out it of the alley in panic.

For a while, the alley was filled with the woman’s panic screams, the men’s painful howls, and birds’ noises.

The two reporters were stunned by what they saw. Where did those birds come from? And why would they appear at this time of day and this place?

Before they were able to react, a man with a mask rushed in, but from the clothes he was wearing, people could easily tell that he was Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu didn’t stay in the alley for long, he directly ran toward the young man dressed in white, and tried to pull him away.

However, this young man held the corner of the wall, refusing to leave. At the same time, he still shouted, “Yan Yan, go with me, you can’t go on like this!”

‘Oh, my god. What the hell is this guy thinking!’
