The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 80 New Manga Series

Unfortunately, the first Manga series of Mini Village hadn’t started. This made Zhou Yu very surprised because he saw, that the status of the comic studio had been showing “working” for the past twenty-four hours. And it also showed “24 hours a chapter” notice as well. Then why hadn’t it produced anything yet? Did the fast-handed Wang go on a strike on the first day?

However, the fast-handed Wang said innocently, “I haven’t gathered enough materials, how do you expect me to work?”

‘Material? Dang! When do we have this setting?’ Could it be that he was possessed by Togashi, or maybe it was just an excuse for playing mahjong?

But then according to the fast-handed Wang, the 10 filming lion beast cards he requested from him Yesterday, were used to collect materials. The ten filming lions were spread out and heading to different parts of the world to search for various scenic spots that were selected by the fast-handed Wang, as the new manga materials. Now that those lions hadn’t come back, he couldn’t start his work.

It was really troublesome. The cheap knock-off comic studio didn’t even have those requirements. It did not cost him anything. Unfortunately, it would soon disappear.

There were different opinions on the Internet about the end of the hunter’s doujin series. Some say that the Taoist had finally run out of his ideas. Nearly a year of continuously releasing chapters, the quality almost reached the highest level of the original series, even the original author had praised it several times, so the quality of the doujinshi was without a doubt extremely good. There was no need to mention about the releasing speed. It had already completely destroyed the original hunter’s releasing speed.

However, an imitation was still an imitation after all. Whether it could build a perfect world or not, it would all depend on how good and how talented an artist was. The fans of the Taoist naturally believed that the Taoist had this ability, but before the original work came out, any statement would just be speculations.

Even Zhou Yu himself was suspicious of the fast-handed Wang. His drawing skill was certainly not a problem. After all, he was one of the best artists. The problem lay in the genre of the Manga. After all, even if he had the most perfect drawing skills, if he suddenly went crazy and drew some BL manga series, how did you expect him to enjoy it.

If that was really the case, then it was absolutely impossible to release it to the outside world, even if other people saying bad words about him. Fortunately, he was not working with any comic magazines or websites, otherwise, he would have trouble if he couldn’t finish the work before the deadline.

Unlike the animation base and the game company, the comic studio didn’t have a tier system. The quality of the work depended on the ability of the individual artist. If the comic studio equipped with some items, it would certainly help as well. For example, the statue of a common manga artist, that he had just obtained, would be able to increase the drawing ability by 5 points.

God bless. Hopefully, the fast-handed Wang did not have any strange interests.

About three days later, the small beasts that had been spread out, finally came back one after another, and after giving the film reels to the fast-handed Wang, they were freed again.

When the materials were collected, the drawing finally started.

......

It was already May, and the first phase of the Little Paradise amusement park – the water park, was nearing completion. At the moment, there were just some final decoration works needed to be done.

There were two kinds of pools, the ordinary pool, and the wave pool. In the ordinary pool, there were some toys, such as Bumper Boats, and kid’s hand paddle boats, which were basically for children’s entertainment. What Zhou Yu concerned the most was the wave pool. Although the overall size was just like a standard swimming pool, Zhou Yu visited this pool the most often during the construction period.

The wave pool was an indoor swimming pool. There were enough sound insulation measures in the wave-making facilities to avoid noise. In the future, it would need regular maintenance by the professionals. If something goes wrong, Zhou Yu would also need to get someone over to fix it. Of course, it would definitely cost him a lot.

On the side of the wave pool was a real beach. The sand was all white fine sea sand. It was specially purchased by Zhou Yu, to create a real sea environment for the third dragon prince.

In the center of the beach, there was an area that was covered with hemisphere glass, which looked like a mini seaside resort with all kinds of mini objects, such as small beach sun umbrellas, small beach chair, small seaside restaurants, all kinds of seaside facilities were complete, and most importantly, there was a small seaside villa.

These were for The third dragon prince.

The Third Dragon Prince had never been to a real sea, but he loved this “high-quality fake” beach very much. Before it was even complete, he already began to have fun inside. It was constantly saying that this “sea” was much better than the last “sea” he had stayed. There wasn’t even a beach over there...

This beach was obviously not favored by professionals. Not only was it useless, but it had also taken up too much space. It made the area that was originally allocated for the wave pool even smaller. However, Zhou Yu had never thought about making a profit from this wave pool at all. So although everyone was strongly against the decision of building a beach, he still insisted on building one.

Just wait until the wave pool was officially opened, the carpenter beaver and others, who had never left Mini Luhua Village in their lifetime, could also come here to experience the seaside views.

...................

Finally, the fast-handed Wang was about to reveal his manga series. After getting the manga from the comic studio, Zhou Yu had mixed feelings. He really wanted to see it. But he also did not dare to see it.

“Assassin”

Seeing the name of the comic book, Zhou Yu was half relieved. With such a name, it should not be some odd manga series. Checking the content carefully, it was a story of a righteous man, who still adhered to the conviction of assassins in the materialistic modern times, punishing bad guys in the dark.

It was kind of like a superhero in the marvel universe, but it did not have any special superpowers, the main character only used his intelligence to carry out all kinds of incredible assassination tasks.

It was a bit dark, but Zhou Yu liked it very much. In particular, all kinds of bizarre killing methods were very fascinating. Even if the targets had already known that they were being targeted, they still could not escape death, no matter how he tried to protect themselves.

It was a manga series that demanded and consumed very much thinking and reasoning.

The fast-handed Wang himself was a swordsman, fighting and assassination was his old line of work, so this part of the drawing was very detailed. The dialogue and the story plot had a little flavor of Gulong’s novels(1). The style of the drawing was very delicate and exquisite. There were often ink-splashing styled paintings, taking up an entire page. The readers of the manga would definitely be amazed by those paintings, although they might not know the true meaning behind the painting. Zhou Yu’s first impression of this manga was that its ability to impress readers was very high.

The drawing style and story plot were all fine. But at present, there was only one chapter, so it was not easy to draw a conclusion. After the main storyline was clearer, then he would decide whether to release it or not.

The next day, Zhou Yu couldn’t wait to see the second chapter. However, clearly, it said that one chapter in 24 hours, but today, the fast-handed Wang was not working in the comic studio. The reason was that he had drunk too much alcohol last night with the old drunkard. And now he was still in bed, and unable to work for at least three days.

Damnit! These two alcoholics! Once they met each other, they would not stop talking to each other. Obviously, both of them were not the popular type of people in the pub. However, the old drunkard was familiar with the brewery. He had even sneaked into the brewery and stolen some alcohol secretly. Then both of them found a good spot to drink with each other. When they got excited, they even began to exchange fighting techniques.

Seeing two drunk people were fighting each other, no one dared to stop them. Even the mouse Jack also did not dare to interrupt them immediately.

It seemed like he would not be able to keep the legend of releasing one chapter a day every day.
