The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 178 No mercy

Edited by Esperanza

Zhou Yu did not like to show off, but no one knew why he liked to play with kids. Especially the children in Luhua village. After playing with them for two years, he felt like they were in a big family. To remove those kids’ nervousness, they needed a little encouragement, otherwise, they might be too timid in front of other kids and the cameras.

“It’s nothing serious. I just want to tell you that if the celebrity team won, they would be the second heroes of the fantasy city, and a statue of them would be added to the Hall Of Honor.”

Zhou Yu’s words were very normal, but Mu Zi could see that the eyes of those children were instantly filled with fighting spirit.

Oh come on, you’ve already won the first title of the hero. If anyone else wins, it’s only the second one. Their display position would be even further behind in the hall of honor. Why are you guys not satisfied?

However, what Mu Zi did not know was that, to the children of Luhua village, entering the hall of honor was really a special honor. Especially little Rat, his statue was in the hall of honor, every time when he entered to see it, he would have a great sense of honor.

You want to stand with me in the hall of honor? You need to get through me first!

Zhou Hao’s eyes were full of fighting spirit.

And the other kids were also the same. The reason why the title of the hero was honored was because it was very rare. If some random celebrity team could easily take the title, then how was it different from the cheap stuff people bought from the street? Moreover, the children of Luhua village always valued honor highly, the challenge to the warriors was equal to the challenge to Luhua village. After the meaning of the challenge was lifted to this height, it instantly stirred their fighting spirits.

“Those who can stand in the hall of honor must be true heroes, and I hope you all can prove that.”

“Yes, sir!”

The warrior team once again responded neatly and loudly. It made Mu Zi begin to have cold sweat. Are you serious? It is just a game, why do you have to make it sound like they are going to a battlefield?

However, Zhou Yu always treated this type of game seriously, “go, Luhua village will prevail!”

“We will win!”

“We will win!”

“We will win!”

Well, now there was no way that they could change those kids’ minds. The warriors had already made it clear that they were going to do it seriously, and they were not going to lose the competition because there were cameras. Zhou Yu also said it before, that if they wanted to let the children of Luhua village participate in the shooting, then it must be real, they would not lose on purpose.

Helplessly, Mu Zi had to return to the camp to discuss the plans for all kinds of unexpected situations with his scenarist directors. Originally, he still had a bit of faith in the celebrity team, but after he saw the warrior team that was filled with the fighting spirit, he was very worried now.

Zhou Yu boosted the morale of the warrior team, but he didn’t care about how bad the celebrity team would lose, after all, it was Mu Zi who wanted to invite those kids to participate in the shooting. Those bratty kids were not ordinary children. After they united together, their ability to trick other people was extremely impressive.

And the result of that was that on the third day, the little actor, who often came to Zhou Yu’s house to eat food for free, brought over two crying little girls. The reason was that in today’s games, in which there were six games in total, they lost the first five games very quickly without any chance to fight back. Zhou Yu did not see the games at that time, but according to some people, the host of the program was completely lost for words at that time.

In terms of the sixth game, it was a team competition. The host had no choice but to raise the points, hoping that it would give the celebrity a chance to fight back. However, as if the warrior team were a group of hackers, under the command of Zhou Hao, they completely defeated the celebrity team.

After the game, the two girls in the celebrity team couldn’t stop crying. Fortunately, that little celebrity boy knew that he should look after girls. He told them that he would bring them to brother Yu and ask brother Yu to make delicious food for them.

After hearing the little boy’s story, Zhou Yu was completely speechless. He didn’t expect that little Rat would be this cold-hearted. How could he bully two little girls into crying non-stop?

Oh well, it was partly his fault as well. So he made a few pumpkin pies that he had just learned, for them. Only after that did the girls finally stop crying.

However, after eating the pumpkin pie once, the two little girls also became Zhou Yu’s frequent visitors. From then on, whenever it was mealtime, Zhou Yu’s house would have three additional little guests.

After the first round of competition between the Warrior team and the celebrity team, even Zhou Fu couldn’t bear to watch anymore. When he found Zhou Yu, he said, “why would you say those words to little Rat those bratty kids. They now look as if they were injected with chicken blood. I have tried to signal him several times to lose some points, but it was no use. You’re their big brother, so can you talk to them? At least, let other people win a few times.”

Zhou Fu didn’t care about winning or losing. Of course, if the celebrity team won, it would be much better. At least, with their statue in the hall of honor, they could attract some of their fans to visit the park. The show was originally sponsored in the hope of promoting the amusement park, not spoiling the situation for the title of hero.

However, Zhou Yu didn’t think so.

“A competition is a competition, if they are scared of losing, then don’t compete with others. Besides, it’s not like I didn’t try to persuade Mu Zi that old man. It was him, who insisted on inviting little Rat and other village kids. Deliberately losing the competition is not something I will do, and it’s not something that little rat will do. If they are really embarrassed by the result, they can choose not to release it. After all, this is not a live TV show.”

Zhou Yu’s obstinacy made Zhou Fu feel helpless. Anything regarding the commercial interest would not work on him, because in his heart, this hero title was much more precious than the promotion.

Seeing that Zhou Fu still wanted to say something, Zhou Yu quickly diverted the topic, “by the way, the number of animals I have trained is almost enough. The Colosseum is almost ready to open. Luhua village’s first Olympics, we must make it lively and make it feel like a big festival.”

Hearing what Zhou Yu said, Zhou Fu also remembered this project.

Boy Yu made a small pasture of his own, which kept many strange animals. At first, there was only Diandian, Sir Black, and later on, there were ducks, geese, rabbits and so on, the species were very diverse, and with some offspring they bred, their number has almost reached dozens.

These animals were very strange, but they all had one thing in common, that was, they were very obedient and only listened to Zhou Yu.

There was no need to mention Dian Dian or Sir Black, their power already surpassed the regular animals. And the animals that joined, later on, were just as good as them. Especially those big geese, their fighting power was extremely shocking. Once they launched an attack, even adults would not know how to deal with it.

They were often unattended, and the gate of the pasture was always open. All the animals in the pasture could leave the pasture freely but the strange thing was that they would always return on time.

But although those animals were very obedient, was there really no problem to have them compete with each other in the Colosseum?

Zhou Fu was very skeptical.
