The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 63 Daily Life Of The Pub

The first thing Diandian did when it got home was to take off its armor and take a bath. This was probably the most troublesome thing for Zhou Yu, because Zhou Yu himself did not take bath frequently. However, if he didn’t help Diandian to take a bath, it would make him unable to use his computer. So he had no other choices.

A chicken that loved taking a bath. This also made Diandian become very special.

Today, the task of giving Diandian a bath was taken over by MuXiu. She wanted to use this opportunity to thank Diandian. In addition to this, she also wanted to see how chickens bathed themselves. Giving Diandian a bath was not something that Zhou Yu wanted to do, so he happily accepted Mu Xiu’s offer.

After removing the armor, Diandian was taken to the laundry canal by the river. Once it arrived, it immediately began to flutter its wings. Water was splattered all over MuXiu’s body. However, her interests in washing Diandian did not reduce any. She kept pouring water all over Diandina’s body to wash away the dust that landed on its feathers. Several other teachers were also looking at Diandian curiously. Taking out their mobile phones, they began to take pictures constantly.

It was indeed an odd person. Even the things from his house were also very odd. He could even raise a chicken as a pet.

After washing, its armor was also needed to be washed as well. Diandian, who strictly adhered to the code of chivalry, was very concerned about cleanliness. Especially today, it just had a fight with the wild dog, so it must clean it up properly. After washing, the armor could be dried up just by hanging it up in the yard for one night. And the next day, it would still be a majestic, clean Knight’s Mount.

After washing Diandian, Mu Xiu still held it. It seemed like she really began to treat it as a pet. And Diandian just meekly rested in her arms, accompanying her to watch the animated movie.

Only until now did those intern teachers finally remembered the main purpose of them coming to the village today. It was to see a movie. They almost forgot about it because of Diandian. Fortunately, the owner of Diandian was the Brother Yu that everyone was talking about. He was indeed very young, which made all those intern teachers wondered why he would choose to live in seclusion in the countryside at such a young age.

But at the beginning of the film, these questions were immediately forgotten. How could they possibly not understand how bad the domestic animation was. Although Brother Yu’s small cinema was highly praised by children, they still could not imagine the quality of the animation could be so high.

This was a movie about street martial arts. The protagonist was a teenager who liked martial arts but was not good at communicating with other people. One day he met a group of people who like street fighting in a corner of the city. These people treated practicing martial arts as a trendy thing to do. It was exactly like those people who liked to do extremely dangerous parkours while videotaping it.

This group of teenagers was wearing all kinds of masks, lurking in the dark, fighting bad guys, and taking videos of the punishment and uploading them onto the internet. What they did, caused a great deal of controversy in society. Whether the traditional chivalric virtues confirmed to the spirit of the modern legal system had become a hot topic for discussion. But those teenagers, who had become public figures, enjoyed it a lot.

However, the price of being in the limelight was being watched by bad people as well.

One of the members, who accidentally disclosed his identity, was kidnapped. The bad guys thereby forced other members to appear. In the final stage of the movie, in a large warehouse that was full of cameras, the bad guys wanted to live broadcast the punishment of those teenagers who had the excessive sense of justice.

After a fierce battle, those teenagers were eventually outnumbered and defeated by the bad guys one by one. Jus when evil was about to defeat justice, a group of special force police officers came down from the roof and apprehended all the vicious bad guys.

This kind of ending was unexpected to those intern teachers. In general, the police only play the role of cleaning the scenes after the event was over. Otherwise, how was a movie able to show the heroic and fearless image of the protagonist? When those teenagers charged towards the bad guys, those intern teachers still thought they would have a beautiful big fight in the end. However, no one had expected that the ending would be so realistic.

In the end, and after that incident, the protagonist was inspired to be a police officer, and he swore that he would bring the bad guys to justice with dignity. The main melody of the movie was filled with positive energy(Note). There was a high possibility that it would suffer a barrage of criticism if the movie was played in other places. However, to those children, this was how it should be. After the movie was over, they also did not forget to clap their hands.

Although those intern teachers did not understand why the hero would need to be saved by the police officers, the quality of the movie still amazed those teachers. Especially the fighting scenes, the editing was superb. The aesthetic of the speed and the power of the street martial arts was brilliantly displayed in the movie. Even adults also enjoyed it.

According to the children, Brother Yu would play a new movie every week, and every movie was as good as the movie that was shown today. However, none of those intern teachers had heard of those movies. So where did this brother Yu get them?

Everything was like a mystery.

Jack’s pub had been opened since Tina the maid joined the pub. Although it was only visited by two or three kitten adventurers every day, it was better than none. The existence of the dungeon made adventurers begin to appear in Mini Luhua village. And those adventurers became the main customers of the pub.

However, it was just a level 1 dungeon after all. What it attracted were just a bunch of newbies. As Jack put it, ‘A bunch of poor people, who can’t even squeeze a drop of oil out of them.’ Unable to pay for the Cave information, those adventurers could only pay for the entrance fee. And the drinks they ordered were also the cheapest. It was so stingy that Jack did not like them at all.

Therefore, Jack’s customer service was very bad.

Fortunately, in the pub, there was an extremely moe Loli maid, who would smile to anyone, even to those poor newbie adventurers. She would always give them words of encouragement to boost their confidence. Because of that, the name – “The Goddess Of The Pub” began to spread amongst adventurers, making she the most popular person in the village, and the selling point of the pub.

In the beginning, Zhou Yu was very curious about how would those adventurers clear the dungeon. So he especially watched them doing it for a few times. However, those newbies were truly very bad. Jack could easily clear it with Diandian. But they had to use all their got. And they even need to gather enough people to form a team to do it.

Several adventurers, who wanted to clear the dungeon alone, were brought back by Diandian. It meant that they had failed. However, there was no hospital in Mini Luhua Village, so those people could only lie down sadly in the pub, waiting for the injuries to slowly recover. Without equipment or the information of the dungeon, they still rushed into the cave recklessly. They were indeed brave adventurers, but also foolish adventurers.

Occasionally, there would be one or two teams that successfully cleared the dungeon. All the team members would embrace each other in tears while laughing and dancing in the pub and showing off their loots. Zhou Yu was also very happy for them as well.

Today, there was a team, that successfully cleared the dungeon, and the loots were quite good. The leader of the team was very happy, so he gave Tina a tip – “The seed of mysterious equipment”.

“Tina, we can’t use this seed, but your master can plant it. Don’t worry, no matter what kind of equipment it is, we will not take it back. I hope that for its sake, the damn Jack will treat you better.”

Jack’s scowling face was as famous as the smile of the pub goddess. However, no one could do anything to him. There used to be several temperamental adventurers wanting cause troubles in the pub, but later on, Jack easily beat them up and threw them out of the pub. Only until then did everyone know that the owner of the pub was not someone that they could easily mess with.

Although they did not dare to fight him, they did not have problems to curse him in secret. Especially when such a lovely girl was treated as a servant by that mouse! Of course, this was also caused by those adventures’ envies.

“Don’t say that. Uncle Jack is very kind to me, but I still have to thank you.”

Tina’s smile was indeed irresistible. Even if those adventurers were accustomed to killing, they were still purified by her smile.

‘Well, an equipemnt seed? Does it mean that it will grow equipment after it was planted?’

Zhou Yu was playing with this strange seed in his hand and thought.
