The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 370: Chapter 370 Matching Game

Zhou Yu didn’t know why the ACG game function would be activated, but it made this strange activity immediately become like an ordinary game. To be honest, this alleviated Zhou Yu’s embarrassment a lot, because if it were to be treated as a game, he would not feel that awkward.

However, if it was a game, what were the conditions for completing this game? To impress the female guests or to get a girlfriend? It was unlikely to be the second one. Generally speaking, it was impossible for a dating game to enter a confession session because of an event.

Through the options, Zhou Yu could clearly see some subtle changes after the selection. When Zhou Yu chose option 4, and honestly said that he was just an ordinary otaku. The feedbacks from the male guests were ‘he is really an honest person’, while the feedbacks from the female guests were ‘is he serious?’.

Well, it seemed that this option was not the best option.

Anyway, continue the matching game, the next part was the talent show. Singing, dancing, stand-up comedy, or performing martial arts, seeing those performances, it made Zhou Yu feel speechless. Do those people have nothing better to do? They even prepared a show for this? However, Zhou Yu didn’t prepare anything. Suddenly asking him to perform his skill in front of everyone, it gave him a headache.

Looking at the options that were displayed in the ACG world, Zhou Yu couldn’t help but think, ‘Cooking? It’s too much trouble to get kitchenware now; martial arts? I don’t have a hobby of performing in the public; Wood Carving? It’s too time-consuming.’

For a while, Zhou Yu didn’t know what choice to make. Even the chubby man Hao Jing also sang a love song affectionately. Fortunately, Zhou Yu’s number plate was 9, which was the last few male guests, so there was still time to prepare.

“Please prepare me a brush and ink. I think I will show my painting skill.”

In the end, Zhou Yu chose the fourth option, a simple brush painting. If he did a speed painting, it shouldn’t take that much time. Moreover, because little Muli often asked him to paint her, so Zhou Yu was already familiar with brush painting.

The host readily agreed, but after Zhou Yu came on the stage, something he didn’t expect happened. Originally, Zhou Yu planned to quickly paint a portrait of Little Muli. Unexpectedly, the host smiled and said, “Since Mr. Zhou wants to show us his painting skill, why not just pick a model on the spot?”

Damn you! Is he here to create trouble for me?

Zhou Yu really wanted to stuff a sweet potato into the host’s mouth, so he could stop talking. However, that was an unrealistic dream. In the end, The model was selected by lucky draw. Zhou Yu’s painting level was learned from The fast-handed Wang. Although he was a famous artist, he was very disappointed with his apprentice, Zhou Yu. His painting skill was not great at all. It might be okay if the model was Little Muli. However, suddenly asking him to paint a stranger, he was not confident at all.

But he had no choice but to paint it now.

It took Zhou Yu some time to draw it, but fortunately, it was the Great Emperor Zhou Yu, so everyone was willing to wait. If it were ordinary people, people would have already left. But the result was not bad, at least the girl in the painting was not out of shape.

The clothes of the girl in the painting were not the modern clothes that the model was wearing. Instead, it was the ancient Chinese clothes. After adding a tree and then a moon, the painting was completed. There was nothing elegant, and there was no deep meaning, which was something that the fast-handed Wang always hated. In his opinion, this kind of painting was garbage.

The painted pictures were directly given to the model. Anyway, the paintings of the Great Emperor were not valuable. On the contrary, his miniature models were very valuable. Uncle Fu had also warned him several times already not to give any miniature models away casually.

After this segment, Zhou Yu checked the on-site feedback status and found that his popularity has actually increased a bit. It seemed that this portrait was at least accepted by these people on the scene.

The last segment was anonymous voting. The guests of the game would need to vote for whom they want to be together with. According to the voting results, if there was a successful match, they could directly enter the matching segment, while the remaining people would have to draw lots to determine their partners.

Although Zhou Yu’s performance was not the best, he was surprised by the high number of votes he received. This also resulted in only a few successful pairings.

Anyway, in order to continue the game, the rest would only be decided by drawing lots.

The rest of the time was very embarrassing for Zhou Yu. He didn’t know how to spend the rest of the time in the amusement park with the quiet-looking girl. Fortunately, at this time, the game options in the ACG world appeared again:

1. Take her to the happy farmhouse;
2. Take her to The Billow Sound Pavilion;
3. Take her to the underground city;
4. Take her to the fantasy city.

When Zhou Yu was still thinking about which one to choose, the creep Hao Jing approached him and said, “Boss, I am planning to take the girl to the dungeon. I heard that there is a great chance that the match will be successful if you take girls there. Do you want to go there with us?”

It seemed that Hao Jing had matched up with the girl he liked. There were smiles all over his face. The underground city also had scary rooms like haunted houses, so it was very popular with young men and women. It’s just that when Zhou Yu looked at the quiet little girl, it seemed like this type of exciting game would not be suitable for this girl, so he shook his head and chose the fantasy city instead.

This option was very deadly.

Fantasy City was a veritable children’s paradise, especially during the summer vacation, there were so many students who came here for summer camps, and regular visitors would not be able to enter it. However, Zhou Yu was the boss here, after all, so he could still enter it without any problem.

It was just that it was very strange to take a girl to the children’s playground during a date. What was more strange was that after Zhou Yu met with the kids he knew, he started to play games with them, completely forgetting that he was with a girl earlier.

So at the end of the activity time, there was no after story for the girl and Zhou Yu.

However, because it was an accidental matchmaking game, so Zhou Yu didn’t keep it in his mind, but after the game ended, he got a very interesting message. “According to your performance in the “Cupid Camp”, you got the title: Little Brat. The advice for you is to grow up quickly and learn how to get a girlfriend from other people more often.”

Damn, I was looked down upon by the ACG world system.

In the end, Zhou Yu also received a small reward: Sacred Fire Altar. Within the influence of this altar, the ability of all single idols will be increased, while the ability of those with partners will be dropped significantly.

This thing was actually quite useful because the idols of Luhua City have not yet married, so when shooting a movie or making a game next time, he could use the Sacred Fire Altar to increase the quality. Although the improvement was not high, it was better than nothing.

However, the reward was not the point, but an event that he participated in in the real world, actually made him receive an evaluation and rewards from the ACG world. Does it mean that with the influence of the ACG world force, the amusement park has completely turned into a real game now?

In order to verify this, Zhou Yu decided to take a few days to walk around the amusement park to see if there were any other places that could trigger the game reward.
