The Rise of Otaku Chapter 56 - Vegetable Thief

Chapter 56 Vegetable Thief

In Luhua Village, martial arts movies suddenly became a trend. Especially among the boys in Luhua Primary School. Everyone couldn’t wait for the next screening day. When it got to that day, children would roll on the ground screaming, begging for their parents to take them to Brother Yu’s house to watch movies, even if they lived far away. If they did not get to see the movie, what could they talk to their cla.s.smates in the school next week?

Zhou Yu also did not let children down. Modern, ancient, legendary, daily life, and all kind of martial arts movie genres, made all the little boys’ hearts boiled with excitement. They all wished that they could find an old man with a white beard in an unknown mountain, and learn martial arts from him. And then after they leaned everything, they could leave to the mountain to help the weak and fight for justice.

Unfortunately, this kind of thing was only okay to think about. But If anyone really wanted to do it, they would be seeking death. Especially after a few kids, who had climbed up the wall and jumped down to perform their most extraordinary lightness skill, were caught by the old village chief and had their a.s.ses beaten, they finally became quite.

The small vegetable field gradually entered the harvesting period. Every three or five days, the villagers of Mini Luhua village would be gathered together once, and the chef would always be Zhou Yu. Half-cooked lettuces sometimes were simply washed, sliced and then people just dipped them in sauces to eat. Fortunately, everyone was not picky about the food, they just had to endure it for the time being.

This night, after the village banquet, Zhou Yu went straight to sleep.

However, in the middle of the night, a cl.u.s.ter of noises suddenly broke out. Seemingly, someone was shouting thief, and then the whole Luhua village was woken up.

Zhou Yu hurriedly covered himself with a coat and ran out of his house. He, who was still half-awake, thought that there were thieves, who had broken into some villager’s house. It was the first time for him to encounter this kind of thing in the village, despite that he had been living in the village for more than one year. After all, many of the villagers used to be soldiers, and the village had a long military history, who would want to steal things from this kind of village.

After searching for some time, he found out that the house that was broken into was not someone else’s, but his own house.

Mini Luhua Village was completely in disorder, everyone had weapons in their hands and was ready to beat up the thief.

It was Old Dragon King who discovered the thief. Probably he couldn’t sleep at night or maybe he needed to go to the toilet, while he flew past the vegetable field, he saw a strange shadow crouching in the field doing something. After everyone got up, the old dragon king instructed everyone to surround the vegetable field, and then he himself began to call Zhou Yu.

When the sky fell down, there would always a big man to hold it up. Therefore Zhou Yu was asked to catch the thief. After all, this was Zhou Yu’s house.

If it was a real thief, Zhou Yu might really be scared a little. In recent years more and more people started to have some sort of mental disorder. A theft case could easily turn into a murder case. Life is always more important than money. Hiding in the house and calling police officers, is what everyone should do whenever this kind of thing happened. But the thief in the ACG world did not seem to be harmful. If he could communicate with the thief, Zhou Yu didn’t mind that there were thieves Mini Luhua Village. After all, this was also a skill.

“Hey, man, where did you come from?”

With so many people to support him, Zhou Yu was not afraid. So he asked aloud. The dark shadow did not seem to have heard him at all. It remained motionlessly and the rustling sounds still kept coming out. Earlier, the old Dragon King had already shouted loudly many times. Normally, it should have already been alerted. However, it still did not move. It made Zhou Yu wonder how b.a.l.l.sy was this thief.

As Zhou Yu turned on his flashlight, what he saw made him completely speechless.

So it was not that the thief was bold or something, but he was a foodie! This fellow was munching a big cabbage while straddle-hugging it. His teeth were so good that he chewed off a big chunk of it, in every bite. A cabbage that was almost as big as him, was quickly eaten by him bit by bit. What was more fascinating was that his stomach didn’t even get bigger.

Upon finis.h.i.+ng, he even made a hiccup to signal the completion of the theft.

“I’m sorry to startle you so much, but please, believe me, I’m not a despicable thief.”

The way this fellow spoke was quite polite, but on the closer inspection, he looked like Jerry Mouse. However, he dressed like a medieval Western adventurer. With a strange feathered broad-brimmed hat on his head and a thin sword on his waist, he dressed like Puss In Boots.

“As you can see, I am a wandering adventurer. Unfortunately, I fell down the cliff during a battle with a dragon. And I was led to this village by the river. Although I was very hungry, It was still very rude of me to eat your vegetables without asking. However, I’ll definitely pay for it.”

Zhou Yu didn’t know whether it was true or not. With the body size of pudding, he still dared to challenge a dragon? Well, maybe it was just a lizard. But to them, it was a dragon.

Anyway, Zhou Yu didn’t want any compensation. It was just cabbage. He was more concerned about whether the mouse would stay in Luhua Village in the future or not. So he asked, “What are you going to do in the future? Are you planning to continue your adventure?”

When the little mouse was asked this question, he seemed very upset. He shook his head and said, “sigh, my most loyal mount was eaten by the dragon. An adventurer without his mount can’t continue his journey. I’m going to stay in this village and open a pub. I don’t know if it is okay with the landowner?”

Of course, okay, 100 percent okay! Although Zhou Yu didn’t know what the purpose of the pub was, the more villagers of the ACG world he had, the better it was. Even if the villager didn’t have any functions.

The Old Dragon King also agreed to the request of the mouse, so the mouse became a new member of Mini Luhua Village.

With the new member joining in, Zhou Yu first took a look at his information as usual.

Jack – an adventurer, unlock the career of adventurer. Unlocking pubs and adventure-related buildings. The player could hire adventurers to go on adventures and possibly acquire some rare items.

Not bad, not bad. With this pub, Mini Luhua Village would no longer look like a dilapidated village. It would definitely be bustling with people. Although Zhou Yu was an otaku, he didn’t want the village he built to be as boring as the reality. A town for adventures was not a bad choice at all.

Unlocking the profession of adventurers, that was to say, in the future, he might be able to get The Seed Of Adventurer. At that time, he would be able to plant a few adventures and use them to gather items every day. It would both save money, save time for him.

‘Oh, this is beautiful!’

He was in such a good mood. However, it was too late, so he asked beaver and monkey to build Jack a temporary house. Before he had enough money to build a pub, Jack had to endure his living conditions.

On this day, the players of “The War Of The Soybean Pudding” finally saw the new update package that was mentioned in the game trailer.

At the time where the cold winter was approaching, the spicy party finally came out. And the world of the Soybean Pudding was finally split into three major factions. Previously, due to the failure of the joint war, the Northern salty Party lost a lot of its territories. But when the bald man wanted a unified the world of the Soybean Pudding, a group of betrayers appeared in his faction.

A soldier who spoke Sichuan dialect then appeared in the game. He wore a red military uniform and seemed to be extremely pa.s.sionate. When facing his subordinates, his speech was always burning with enthusiasm. A group of bright red fighters was ready to let the two parties understand what the authentic Mapo tofu was.

All the Soybean Pudding, that was not spicy, was not worthy of being called soybean Pudding!

The performance of the Spicy Party’s vehicles was just like its names. It was aggressive and powerful. However, the disadvantage was also very obvious, which was poor protection. For the players who were already familiar with both parties’ vehicles, they finally had more vehicles to play. And they were going to have fun for some time.

It was eventually the rise of the spicy Party!
