The Rise Of Otaku

Chapter 40 Become Rich

Speaking of cosplay, Zhou Yu was no stranger to it at all. Whenever he couldn't sleep during the late night, he would often drool over the photos of beautiful Cosers online. It was just that he never once expected that someone would want him to do cosplay one day.

But he refused instantly. Because he really wasn't confident with his own appearance.

However, the role of the white butcher was tailor-made for Zhou Yu, and it did not require him to do makeup at all. He only needed a white coat, and even his messy hairs didn't need to be done. It was exactly like the hairs the in-game character had.

After hearing that he was that easy, Zhou Yu became slightly interested. After all, it was a rare opportunity for him as well. Besides, he would be able to take pictures with those cute animated girls.

However, after he agreed, he started to regret it. Especially when he saw the Makeup artist - Tongtong, laying out all sorts of makeup "weapons", his heart instantly dropped, 'they still need him to do makeup.'

Despite the fact that they said that it was just some light makeup, in the end, he still felt that his face was covered with a layer of powder, it made him feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing the white butcher was very biddable when Tongtong was helping him to do makeup, Zhang Mengmeng's fear gradually disappeared. All it left was surprises.

'Godly resemblance! Uh… Actually, it is the same person… Hmmm… I'm so confused now…'

Zhou Yu wasn't a handsome guy, not a single part of his body could be considered as good-looking. However, under the magical makeup of Tongtong, at least, he looked slightly better now.

The white butcher was a cold and dark character, so Zhou Yu didn't need to act. He just needed to be himself and do some postures, and then it would still look like the white butcher.

However, there was one thing that he was very certain of. It was that there was no way he would go outside while dressing like this. His skin wasn't that thick.

But Lu Yuan and her friends didn't care at all. Wearing the costumes of in-game characters, they were taking pictures in every place that existed in the game in Luhua village. Many children were following them curiously, thinking that those older sisters were making a film.

After sending away those girls and returning to his house, the first thing he did was to take a shower. As the makeup was washed off, all his excitement also died down.

Doing cosplay once in a while was not bad at all. But if doing it every day, then it would not be that interesting anymore.

Although Zhou Yu was reluctant to part with those girls, the national holiday passed away very quickly. Lu Yuan and her friends eventually needed to go back to their university. But they still had quite a good time here.

One of the bad things about living in the village was that there weren't many girls. Having occasionally visited by some girls once in a while to enliven he was absolutely necessary.

While sending them away, Zhou Yu also gave them some gifts. It was the wooden dolls of the myth of Luhua village. Since the girl called Zhang Mengmeng liked that game so much, Zhou Yu felt like he needed to give something to her to thank her appreciation.

Of course, those girls also gave something in return as well. Amongst the gifts, there were some strange photos that looked both like his daily life photos and cosplay photos. Especially after they had been Photoshopped, they looked pretty cool. Zhou Yu was also impressed by their skills again.

When Zhou Yu was saying goodbye to the beautiful girls with sadness, Gao Song couldn't stop himself from laughing.

After the special promotional event in the national holiday, the war of Luhua village's monthly sale finally broke 50k copies. Gao Shu was finally relieved.

Although he had sent the good news to the Taoist, he still didn't get any reply. But Gao Shu was already used to this representative often offline.

Having no caring attitude towards the sale performance of the game made Gao Shu feel that Zhou Yu this person was not reliable at all. However, the Taoist group only believed this person. So Gao Shu felt helpless.

Although he felt helpless, the things that he should do, he still needed to do.

……………………………

Zhou Yu finally received the money one month after releasing the game. There were many numbers listed in every section. However, Zhou Yu wasn't interested in any one of them. Instead, he skipped the entire contents and just looked at the bottom of the document directly. It was one million!

From a small poor farmer who only had a few hundred Chinese Yuan living expenses monthly, he joined the millionaire club overnight. And this was just the first month. Although the sales performance would definitely decrease in the future, it was definitely more than what he had earned in the past.

At that moment, Zhou Yu didn't know how to express his feelings.

Tranquil and calm? That's just pretentious. To be honest, suddenly becoming rich overnight still made him feel somewhat great.

Before, when he played online games, he was reluctant to buy in-game currencies. But now, he could easily use the money to buy some legendary premium account. However, it was a shame that he hardly ever play any online games now. It was a pity that the online game community lost another pay-to-win warrior.

Happy? Hmmm… some of that as well. But it was not overjoyed.

Since he had the eyes of the ACG world, the main purpose of making money was to make his parents not worried. Now that he had already achieved the goal, a sense of stability arose from his mind.

If he really wanted to make money, he would have probably kept selling any games he made, and not spent all the Moe Coins on making animation movies.

After looking at the breakdown table again, he sighed that he finally joined the circle of the taxpayers. At the same time, he also began to wonder how he should spend money.

It was stupid to have money but didn't spend it. But the problem was how to spent that money. There weren't any places in the village he could spend a lot of money. The most expensive shop - a clothing shop, didn't even have any clothes that were over one thousand Chinese Yuan.

He didn't like to travel outside the town, nor did he like to do online shopping. Thinking repeatedly, he couldn't even find a way to spend money.

This became very awkward. Having this amount of money, but he had nowhere to spend them.

It was another Saturday. After Zhou Yu returned from outside, he confirmed the money was indeed transferred into his account.

Then he strolled around the street and found out that his guess was correct. Despite he tried to spend as much as he could, in the end, he could not even spend 1000 Yuan. With this speed, it would be difficult for him to spend 1 million Yuan.

Pushing the door of his yard open, he saw the children were playing with tables and chairs inside.

Today was another screen day, therefore, there were many chairs in the yard. Many kids didn't like to move chairs back and forth many times, so many of them kept their chairs at Zhou Yu's house.

Those naughty and energetic kids, of course, would not arrange the chairs properly in the beginning. They often arranged the chairs rows in the shape of a snake or in the form of Plum Blossom Poles. Jumping from one chair to another, they were not scared of falling off those chairs at all.

Seeing brother Yu came back with many bags with him, Zhou Hao quickly ran towards him and asked curiously. "brother Yu, are you rich now? Can you even finish all those things you bought? How about let me help you finish those. I can guarantee that I'll finish them very quickly."

While he was saying, he already reached his hands out to grab a roast duck, as if he didn't know any manners at all.

But this kid was very loyal to his friends. He quickly grabbed another bag of chicken wings and passed them to other kids. Almost everyone now had a bag of smacks.

Zhou Hao knew that during the screen days, brother Yu would buy some snacks for them. Before, he didn't have much money. So all he bought were some candies or melon seeds. Today it seemed like he spent quite a lot of more money on snacks.

Only until Zhou Yu saw those kids did he just remembered that those kids were the main characters of the games. Since he had already received the money, it was time for him to give them something in return.

"Little Rat, go get all the kids in the village. This brother Yu is going to take you all to rob someone."

Although Zhou Hao didn't know what Zhou Yu meant, he was the type of person that could get hyped up very easily. Therefore, he quickly gathered some other kids and spread them out in the village to look for other people.

Soon, a group of kids returned to the yard. And it seemed like all the kids in the village was really here. Their abilities truly deserve praise.

The same as the carrier launching ceremony, under Zhou Hao's command, the group of kids quickly form a line in front of him.

Looking at the group of kids in front of him, Zhou Yu suddenly felt as if he had become the commander of an army.

As he waved his hand fabulously in the air, he said, "let's go minions!"

Then the group of kids left the yard with him and headed towards the supermarket in the village.
