Chapter 128 - Haters
Chapter 128 Haters
The fans, who liked Beidou, and the fans, who liked Qin Zhuan, were also tortured by those studios into madness. Their idols were clearly standing there, but it was like two silhouettes, that were visible to them, but could not be touched by them. How would you expect those fans to react?
There has been a lot of speculations about why the two studios chose to remain anonymous, but all of them were not very convincing. No one really minded, that they kept the production staff under wraps, as not many people would go after the production staff, who was working behind the scenes, except the director. But in terms of the voice actors and singers, wasn’t this the best way to attract followers? Perhaps, this Muli voice actor’s appearance was too nonmainstream?
Since the success of “the fruit pirates”, Zhou Yu had received many requests for cooperation from many companies, most of which were interested in the CG skills of Beidou. Another important reason was to freeload some popularity as well. Just like Qin Zhuan, with just one work with Beidou, it instantly became popular all over the country. It was like the best quest to get a lot of fame instead of XPs.
After little Muli’s voice appeared in the public, the requests for dubbing came immediately like a storm, and some even wanted to sign little Muli and make her debut as a singer. Zhou Yu had to admit that the charm of little Muli was irresistible. Unfortunately, no one else was able to see her personally.
Not only just the real world, but the ACG world was also crazy over little Muli.
“The Dragon’s treasure” received a B-rated evaluation in Star Light city. Originally in a city, that A-rated movies were everywhere and only S-rated movie would cause a big commotion, this B rating was only the symbol of the second-rate movies, but little Muli’s excellent acting was like a sharp sword, defeated many other movies, and broke out from a bunch of the second-rate movies, becoming this season’s most outstanding newcomer.
Once the news came out, all kinds of ACG world media began to rushed to Luhua village. Security guards couldn’t stop those invisible reporters, so Zhou Yu had to make a small conference room for the media of the ACG world. Due to the extreme fans like “flower Muli’s supporter group”, little Muli had to be protected by bounty hunter Firefly and Dean every time, but they still encountered some unpleasant experiences.
Unexpectedly, one of the extreme fans got the press card of Star Light city and sneaked into the interview successfully. After he got near little Muli, he suddenly poured a bottle of unspeakable white liquid toward little Muli.
Fortunately, Firefly was standing close to little Muli on high alert. She quickly grabbed Dean, who still didn’t know what happened, using him as a shield to block the unknown liquid, and then knocked out the ‘assassin’ and tied him up. Only after she was done did she remember, that her partner had been covered with the unknown liquid.
“Oh sheeeit!” when she came back to have a look, poor Dean’s mouth was already foaming, and he already fainted on the ground.
White Turbid Liquid – The Fallen city’s specialized dark item, can reduce the purity of the target, increase the target’s Ahegao expression.
Alas, such an evil item. Little Muli was going for pure and innocent style Moe girl. The level of purity and innocent would greatly affect her growth as an idol. As for what Ahegao is, good children do not need to know. All you need to know is that it is not a good thing.
Poor Dean was affected by this kind of attack. His originally wild western cowboy like face became slightly feminine and glamourous. After finalizing the re-design of his face, his face was now like those Nancy boys’ faces in Korean dramas. It was such a shame that such a gallant cowboy was forced to embark on the journey of the brokeback mountain.
Fortunately, bounty hunters did not rely on their appearances. The basic ability to catch thieves was not weakened, he could continue to work in prison. It was just that the sudden change of the style made it a little hard for Zhou Yu to accept it. It would be very hard to imagine what a little Muli would look like if she was affected by this kind of liquid. Could it be that she would be turned into a coquettish and flirtatious dark elf?
When the assassin was caught, he was interrogated by Firefly.
Upon hearing the word interrogation, Zhou Yu immediately thought of the torturing scenes, that often showed in movies. He mistook that the ACG world would also have this kind of torturing. Of course, the ACG world’s interrogation would not be that dark, the whole process was very funny. With just one poster of Muli, the guy confessed everything.
Surprisingly, he was the leader of the 11th team of Flower Muli’s supporter group, who was also in charge of nearly 100 group members.
‘How big is this damn group exactly?’
Soon, the fallen city came to collect people again. Due to his high position, he was worth much more Moe coins than the previous 5 people combined, and one of the ransom was a blueprint of a level 2 dungeon – ‘fallen castle’.
Another dungeon!
It was nearly impossible to draw another dungeon from the Gashapon machine, and even the Mounts, he only got a goose and a cat. At the moment, they were trained under the supervision of Jack Mouse, and would soon be ready for service. Looking at the adventurous places he had, there was still only one level 1 brigand cave, which was repeatedly bullied by many adventures.
Some time ago, he also got a statue of the brigand king, which halved the time to refresh the brigand cave, increased the chance of the occurrence of the brigand king by 4 times. It made the brigand cave dungeon’s business even more prosperous. But even so, the adventurers in Luhua village still felt, that there were too little dungeons, every time they had to book an appointment or queue up before the dungeon, it was very troublesome.
Now they finally had the second one.
Level 2 dungeon: The Fallen Castle is a western medieval castle, which is inhabited by some vampires, and with a probability of occurring Count Dracula. It would require the stonemason monkey and the carpenter beaver to work together to make it, so it costed a little bit more to make, and it also required some ore.
After it was built, it was moved into the little Kingdom. With a dark gloomy castle stood on the edge of a cliff, it looked super cool. If Zhou Yu wanted to shoot The Haunted Castle in the future, this would be a good shooting venue.
Although Zhou Yu did not like the troubles that the “Flower Muli’s supporter group” caused, they do offer another way to increase the facilities in Luhua village.
Originally, Zhou Yu thought that little Muli would only have one trouble, which was Flower Muli’s supporter group, but he did not expect that he would see some other strange people soon.
Haters: these people are not part of the fallen city, but they will still cause trouble. Mixing with other normal fans, they occasionally use their own esoteric techniques to ruin idols’ reputations.
Ordinary Haters: secret technique – Hater’s Roar, initiating verbal attacks to a large number of ordinary fans, causing them to disperse because of unbearable noises. Often appear in idol’s concerts, fan meetings, and other places to reduce the number of fans that day, causing the idol’s popularity to reduce.
When the ordinary haters reach a certain amount, there is a chance to produce elite haters, in addition to the hater’s roar, there will be a new secret technique – hater’s bombardment. The targeted idol will be bombarded with various rumors, turning some fans, who do not know the truth, into haters.
Originally, little Muli did not need to worry about the problem of haters because currently, there was no way to hold a concert for her due to the lack of the staff. There was no fan meeting, handshake meeting, etc, because Zhou Yu was worried, that those Flower Muli’s supporter group would sneak in and cause trouble.
But, he did not expect that the quiet little Muli was still attacked by haters.
