The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 188 A Strange Lance Manual

Edited by: pnemnn

In the Tung Fook Mansion, the chubby chef Li was cooking. It was not the time for a meal yet, but because there was a group of two strange visitors, and it was the little boss’s instruction, he then had to open the kitchen and cook something.

The old monk and the young man ate like horses, and they were not fussy. Whether it was the meat or vegetables, they ate anything that was served in front of them. They were unlike the real monks at all. After each one of them engulfed three bowls of rice, they still asked the kitchen to give them more. The two were clearly a group of foodies.

Seeing two people eating like this, the chubby chef Li could not help but approach them and ask, “I mean, old monk, how many days have you two not eaten? Aren’t you afraid that your stomach won’t be able to digest them?”

Without having any solemn manner of a real monk, the old monk wiped his mouth, revealing a face of flattery smile and said, “I am sorry, we are really hungry, but your kindness will be blessed by Buddha.”

With this kind of appearance and behavior, all the people in Tung Fook Mansion believed that he was a fake monk, and he was here to get free meals. The little boss was a kind-hearted person, he even gave them money. But God knows where they were really going to use that money for. However, from the way the old monk treated the young man, it seemed like he really cared for the young man. Perhaps, they really had nowhere to go.

But after they were stuffed, and also took the money, the old man still refused to leave, “This old monk is here to ask my disciple to challenge Zhou Yu. We haven’t even seen him, how can we leave?”

All the people in the canteen thought to themselves that this old monk was truly shameless. He ate the meal and took the money, but he still refused to go. Did he think that he could get more money out of the little boss? The chubby chef Li was also very angry but no matter how he tried to talk to them, they still refused to leave. In the end, he could only ask the security guard to remove them.

But no one expected that when the security guard touched the old monk, the young man, who was staying quietly next to him, suddenly jumped out and pushed the security guard away. The young man looked very skinny and small, but people didn’t expect that he was quite strong. The muscular security guard could not even withstand his push. He was directly pushed to sit on the ground.

How could they do this?

Seeing what the young man did, everyone was now a little angry. They started to surround them and planned to force those two people to leave the park. And finally, at the moment, Zhou Yu appeared in the Tung Fook Mansion.

He was there to help with the kitchen and also to solve his dinner problem. But he didn’t expect that as soon as he got into the canteen, the canteen staff was trying to surround two people, and from their angry expressions, it was as if they wanted to beat them up. When Zhou Yu saw the young man, his eyes were instantly filled with dazzling light.

Tan Xiuran’s incident made Zho Yu feel very sad. Seeing a dazzling person leaving from the park, that kind of feeling was terrible. Although Zhou Fu said that he would ask someone to pay attention to the girl, and if she ever changed her mind, he would immediately hire her, no one could guarantee what would happen in the future. What if Tan Xiuran never changed her mind?

However, God seemed to want to compensate Zhou Yu. In just a few days, they sent him another dazzling person.

Name: unknown.

Otaku Power 9.0, a martial arts otaku who has unlimited potential.

Additional Information: never goes out of the temples in mountains, knows nothing about the life outside, a wild young man.

Holy shit!

If Zhou Yu just looked at the Additional Information, he would easily mistake him as someone, who had just been teleported from anime to the real world. This was clearly a setting for a modern harem genre novel. If this young man was sent into a school, he would definitely and immediately become a protagonist of such a story, and then he would have endless girls in his harem.

Anyway, he had already lost one dazzling person, he couldn’t fail again. It was just that he didn’t know what kind of conditions he would need to meet in order to recruit this young man. More importantly, he must think about it carefully before he talks, he didn’t want to repeat the last incident again.

While Zhou Yu was thinking about how he should talk, the old monk also saw him. His eyes suddenly flashed the gleams of excitement as if he wanted to see through Zhou Yu.

This was that young man, who showed his wonderful lance skills on the Internet. The lance skill he used was very similar to a strange old lance technique manual he had but it was also slightly different. Perhaps, he made some changes to the manual, or maybe the manual he inherited missed some parts over time. But what made him feel very strange was that the practitioners for this lance technique were supposed to have died out. This was since the last practitioner of the manual died very soon after he handed the manual to him.

So where did he learn this technique?

Although he had doubts, he still had a more important task to do. If this Zhou Yu and Xiaobao indeed have a predestined relationship, then Xiaobao finally found someone to rely on and he himself could also go back to the temple without any worries. Xiaobao was a very clever boy. He couldn’t stay in the mountains all his life to be a monk. He needed to live like other people in society.

The chubby chef Li quickly ran to Zhou Yu and said with a little anger, “Little boss, this old monk not only wants food and money, he even wants to hit other people. Should I call the police?”

Call the police? Hearing this, Zhou Yu could not help but recall the unbearable memories of his encounters with the police. However, the old monk seemed to be close to the young man, if the police came, he would lose the opportunity to recruit this young man.

“No need.”

Zhou Yu lowered his head to look at the young man through the gap between his glasses. The young man was around 17 or 18 years old. Pretty good looking, and with the natural wild beauty. It made Zhou Yu wonder that he himself was also a kungfu otaku, but why did he not have a good looking face. It was truly sad.

“Mr. Zhou, please have a look at this manual first, and then decide whether you want to accept this challenge or not.”

The old monk then took out a book from his backpack and handed it to Zhou Yu. It was said to be an ancient book, but in fact, it was not that old. Probably it was a copy of the original one since even the writing on the book was also in simplified Chinese characters. So if it were told to other people that this was an antique, probably no one would believe it.

Zhou Yu casually looked through the manual, but then he was slightly surprised to find that the method was similar to the method that Bubu taught him. However, it was a pity that Zhou Yu’s level was not very high, so he could not discover any more information. He just simply returned the ancient books to the old monk.

“Please wait here, I’ll be right back.”

After he said it, he went to find Bubu straightaway. Bubu probably would be able to tell something from the book. If the book was indeed the method that Bubu taught him, then it would be very big and shocking news since the lance technique in the ACG world actually appeared in the real world, and it even appeared before him. Could it be that someone else in the real world also learned something from the ACG world?

Bubu was soon found and then went to Tung Fook Mansion with Zhou Yu to check that manual.

After looking at it for a while, Bubu shouted in surprise, “this is the seventh set Lance technique that our flying bird knight regiment lost a long time ago. How did it appear here?”

It turns out that there was once, because of some unknown reasons, the entire flying bird knight regiment disappeared, and what disappeared with them was also the full set of the lance technique. The lance technique that Bubu taught him was the eighth set, and it was the set that was later remade from the lost manuals, that the new flying bird knight regiment gathered. However, it was still not perfect.

And the one before them was the complete edition of the seventh set of lance technique.

So the importance of this to the flying bird knight regiment could be imagined. No wonder Bubu kept its eyes wide open, wanting to remember everything.

Unfortunately, the old monk took the manual back, and said, “How is it, do you want it? If you accept the challenge and If you win, this manual will be yours.”

Oh well, it seems like a fight was inevitable.
