The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 75 Birdman

The fast-handed Wang was dispirited. He ignored the owner of the shop, just drinking the alcoholic beverage gloomily. Such an attitude did not even make the owner mad, it seemed like the social status of the fast-handed Wang was not low at all. But Bubu could not hold anymore. Not only couldn’t it eat Zhou Yu’s food, but it had also flown for a whole day, it was already hungry. Therefore, it just went to the fast-handed Wang’s table to scrounge for a free meal.

“Hey, the sad brother, you should need a little consolation at this time. I’m a famous caring guy. I can guarantee that you will be in a good mood.”

Surprisingly, the owner of the shop also did not say anything to Bubu. It seemed like he also needed to give Bubu some face because it was a flying bird knight. The fast-handed Wang looked at Bubu and then the strange human of the real world beside it. But he did not say anything, and he also did not ask them to leave.

Seeing there was a chance, Bubu smiled, and then quickly sat down on the bench and began to use both its hands to grab the food. While it was eating, it also said, “You are the fast-handed Wang, right? My big brother has received a quest scroll that asked us to help you fulfill your wish and search for the spirit animal. Look, my big brother is so loyal to friends, that he has come thousands of miles to help you. So don’t say anything, just follow us to Luhua Village after you find the spirit beast.”

Hearing what it said, the fast-handed Wang sneered, “This elder Wang has been accustomed to the free life, I’m afraid that I don’t need any big brothers. Thank you for your good intention. This meal is on me and then we don’t owe each other anything.”

Sure enough, talented people were not so easy to be invited. The fast-handed Wang expressed his unwillingness to join them directly. There was also a part of Bubu’s fault. What was with big brother this title? They were not gangsters. Clearly, they were just here to invite him to live in Luhua village. Fortunately, there was a skill of `Life is a drama’, if he really couldn’t change his mind. He would just need to turn into the strongest talker and make him come with them.

But before that, he should try his best to help the fast-handed Wang to find the spirit beast. There was still a big difference between a top-notch artist and the best artist. Although the invitation was refused, the spirit beast quest still needed to be kept going. With a flying bird Knight joining in, the possibility of finding the spirit beast was much higher, so the fast-handed Wang did not refuse the help.

Then the fast-handed Wang changed to Zhou Yu’s table, and three men began to talk in detail about how to find the spirit beast that was wandering in the city. A man, a pigeon dressed in a strange costume, talked in low voices in a western restaurant cautiously. To be honest, the waiters there were also confused. ‘Talking to an animal? Is there something wrong with this guy?’

Fortunately, the man, who was at the focus of attention, had no other improper behaviors, and when finally checked out, he also did not cause any troubles, which made the waiters secretly sighed with relief.

It was very hard to predict where the spirit beast – Linglong Xin might appear. The fast-handed Wang had spent many years to search for it, and he finally got some information saying that Linglong Xin would appear in this city in the near future. Unfortunately, after several days of searching, he still got nothing. That was why he went to this restaurant to use alcohol to dispel his unhappiness.

Zhou Yu was also stunned when he heard that. If there was no clue, how could he find it? Open the quest bar, there was also no quest hint, and no information on the map. This was a big city. It was just like looking for a needle in a haystack to wander around this city to find a beast that nobody had ever seen before. Who knows when they would find it.

At this time, Bubu raised its head while its face was filled with “beg me” this punchable expression, “hahaha, do you know what this Uncle’s profession is? I am a flying bird knight, as long as I give a command, countless minions will listen to me. I can even find a hair in this city, not to mention a spirit beast!”

Surprisingly, bringing Bubu here was the correct choice. However, having a trump card in its hand, Bubu did not help them straightaway. Instead, only after Zhou Yu promised, that he would help it to rebuild the flying bird knight regiment, after returning to the village and appointed it as the leader of the regiment, did the squirrel Bubu nod satisfactorily and begin the work of summoning intelligence birds.

In a square inside a park, where anties and uncles were exercising, and some children were playing happily, Zhou Yu sat under a big tree in a bored manner, watching Bubu drawing a strange magic array pattern, and then began to dance on it as if it was doing a summoning ritual.

Zhou Yu never thought that a small intelligence collection work would have to go through so many troubles.

“Boss, come here and stand in the circle. Bring Sir Black as well!”

Following the instructions of Bubu, Zhou Yu took Sir Black into the strange magic circle. However, after a blinding flash, nothing unusual happened. Only Sir Black was making the coo coo noises... Just when Zhou Yu thought that there was something wrong with the magic circle, and wanted to ask, he was startled by the overwhelming dark clouds above him.

There were so many birds all over the sky!

All kinds of birds, probably all the birds in the city, were gathered here, forming a dark cloud. And it existed in the real world as well. No matter the eye of the ACG World or the eye of reality, he could see it clearly. Other people in the park also noticed this strange phenomenon and began to take videos with their phones.

A strange young man was holding a strange black pigeon above his head in one hand, and the birds in the sky were wheeling over his head. For about three or four minutes, the man waved his hand, the black pigeon flew up, and all the birds scattered as if they had just received a command.

“What the fuck, this man can command birds?”

“No way? There were many wild birds in the dark cloud just now. How could they possibly obey a human’s command without training?”

“It’s too mysterious. Is it a superpower?”

Various kinds of comments began to appear in the park. Zhou Yu also realized that he had become the center of focus. So he quickly ran away. While running, he was still complaining to Bubu that why did it not mention it earlier that the birds in the real world would appear as well. If he had known it, he would have chosen a quiet place to summon them. And it would not have attracted so much attention.

“Boss... A magic circle can’t be drawn at any time, and anywhere. That park is the most suitable place. Otherwise, why do you think it can work so well?”

Bubu explained. Although it could command real birds, it could only control them for a short period of time. Without using the magic circle to enhance the effect, it was impossible to control such a large number of birds for a long time. Anyway, he was not from this city. Once he left this city, who would know that person was him.

Zhou Yu couldn’t win the argument, so he decided to stop arguing.

After leaving the park, he found a small hotel to stay in, and wait for the news.

It was very rare for him to leave Luhua village. However, not only did he not go shopping, but he also did not go sightseeing. He just stayed in the hotel room, watching TV. In the evening, he even saw a news story on the news channel of the local TV station about a mysterious birdman in a park.

There were videos, but they were not very clear. In addition, all kinds of birds were flying around, blocking the sights, so no one was able to see who the person was.

‘Damn, the news is spreading fast.’

Zhou Yu wanted to find the spirit beast and leave this city as soon as possible. He just wanted this mysterious birdman to become an urban legend of this city forever.
