The Rise Of Otaku
/ The Rise of Otaku Chapter 117
Alas, a group of mini zombies, even Little Muli's lovely face also had horrible scars. It was very distressing.
Luckily, little Muli's personality had changed. She didn't seem to care about it at all. Instead, she and Firefly pointed to each other and laughed loudly. If Little Muli was still like the old days, she would have probably already passed out in fear.
Fortunately, it seemed that Zhou Yu was not affected. Otherwise, if he goes out with many lumps on his face, he may frighten the visitors of the amusement park.
There are many ways to remove the effects of the zombie potion, such as building a statue of Lin Zhengying (a famous zombie killer in China) or using Alice's serum. Those things can also be bought in the item shops in Star Light City, but Xia Huan didn't plan to spend this money.
The reason is simple. It is the cost. If they have to buy cures every time, the cost will be too high. Of course, unless there is a time limit for filming or a negative effect that affects the quality of the film, then they would have no other choices. But normally, all economically weak management companies will just wait for the effect to disappear.
Xia Huan and Zhou Yu were both short of money. Even if the zombie potion effect can be removed, they can't guarantee that their opponents won't continue to use other types of tricks. No one can't stand being attacked back and forth several times. So at the moment, all they could do is to have some good prevention measures.
Luhua Village's defensive capacity was actually very poor. With only a prison and a bounty hunter, it was still completely a newbie village. It was a bit difficult to stop criminals and deal with spy problems at the same time.
Without any choices, Zhou Yu immediately hired a C-level bounty hunter - Dean.
A beginner level prison can only have two bounty hunters. And prison is not a farmer's hut, that can be built without any limitations. To build a second prison, Zhou Yu must upgrade Luhua Village as a whole. But he didn't know when would that be.
Firefly temporarily handed over the job of capturing criminals to Dean, and then focused on catching commercial spies.
All those who had been poisoned by the zombie potion went to the Medicine Hut of the White Witch Yuna for treatment. Although it could not be immediately cured, it could at least speed up the recovery time.
The next day, when the effects of the zombie potion were over, the crew was finally ready to shoot again, but the hidden spy was also on the move as well.
This time using the summoning technique - "Studio Ghost", three ghosts were summoned to cause troubles. It had a serious impact on the filming work.
Once the cameras were on, the three invisible ghosts would come out to destroy the sceneries, creating various minor accidents to disrupt the filming. In short, it was almost impossible to film in this kind of situation. And once cameras were off, they would hide in some corners, not moving.
If they wanted to continue shooting, they had to catch them first.
So all the mini villagers were gathered, including the three masters, to play this hide-and-seek game in the studio together.
Such a big sand table and there were also a variety of building models. It was quite difficult to find three small mini ghosts. Zhou Yu almost stared his eyes out, but he still got nothing.
Eventually, he had to use a magnifier to check every model one by one.
Finally, the old drunkard got one first.
The No. 1 ghost actually hid in a painting in one of the building models, and it only revealed a blurred silhouette. Thanks to the good eyes of the old drunkard, otherwise, it would be really hard to find it. After catching it, the ghost let out a long howl and then faded away.
Then there were two left.
The second one was very cunning. There was a small lake on the sand table. Because of some scenes' requirements, there were some fishes of the ACG world in it, and the second ghost was attached to the scales of one of a fish and moving with the fish.
'How on earth do you expect me to find them if they are this good at hiding?! Even people with super brains would probably not be able to find them.' Zhou Yu felt that he should give up.
It was Firefly who found the lake ghost. Thanks to this brave, energetic girl who could think outside the box (didn't have common sense), Zhou Yu was surprised when he heard that she had even gone to the bottom of the lake to search for the ghosts.
As a result, a little tiger grouper fish, that was originally swimming happily below the lake, was knocked out by her using a stick.
With only one left, Jack Mouse and Squirrel Bubu began to fight with each other again. They bet with each other on who would be able to find it first, and whoever lost the bet would need to listen to the winner's command in the next month, and the loser could not resist.
With the bet, they began to search even harder.
Tina, the maid, did not join the search army, but she was pouring tea for everyone and trying very hard to fan the people who were sweating. She was such a good and cute lovely girl. However, she accidentally slipped over, and the hot tea, she was serving, was spilled onto a small puddle of water.
"Ah" screaming in pain, the last ghost jumped up from the puddle of water.
Turns out, the last ghost was hiding in that puddle of dirty water for the whole time. Indeed, no one would think that the last ghost would hide there. Unexpectedly, its luck was so bad that the boiling tea would drop on its head.
The faces of Jack Mouse and Bubu the Squirrel were twitching constantly. But eventually, they still knelt down on one knee in a chivalrous manner in front of Tina, indicating that they would be completely obedient to her words in a month.
Two tragic fellows.
With all the ghosts were captured, the filming could finally be started again. However, it was already noon at this moment.
Zhou Yu didn't expect that it would be so hard to make a movie in The ACG World. However, the spy did not use disruptive items again. It turned out that a filming crew can only be attacked by the negative effect items once a day.
Although today they won a small battle, the spy still had not been caught, which made Firefly feel very annoyed.
This actually could not blame Firefly, after all, bounty hunters' specialty is used to hunt down criminals, while reasoning is detectives' ability. Only by upgrading the prison, can Zhou Yu employ detectives. So Firefly had to work hard to patrol more frequent. She could only rely on working hard to make up for the lack of ability.
On the third day, Firefly's eyes were wide open and staring at everyone in the studio. It made everyone's hair stand on end. All the food was eaten by the villagers of mini Luhua Village first, and it would only be given to the film crew after they were sure that the food did not contain any other things.
The result of this effort was, that the third day of shooting did not have any accidents, which was a great success.
However, the cost was very high.
Being highly vigilant for the whole day, it made Firefly very tired. As soon as she returned to her hut, she felt sleep instantly. If she carried on like this, when the shooting finished, she would also collapse.
As her old man, of course, Zhou Yu could not bear seeing his daughter suffer so much.
However, he also did not know how he was able to help her to catch the professional spy.
At this time, the mysterious and inconspicuous portal operator Rubin the hedgehog found Zhou Yu.
Rubin the Hedgehog is the most mysterious villager in mini Luhua Village. Every day he appeared and disappeared in the village like a shadow. Apart from maintaining the portal occasionally, no one knew what he was doing all day.
Very often, Zhou Yu almost forgot that there was this villager in Luhua village. Only when there was a village banquet, would he be able to see that he was drinking alone far away from the crowd, looking very lonely.
"This is the list of suspects. Although the spy used the Secret Technique - Dark Shadows to hide in the dark, it is certain that the spy is hidden among the ten suspects."
After saying that, Rubin the hedgehog disappeared into the darkness unexpectedly like what he always did. Clearly, he wanted to maintain his mysterious ideology to the very end.
However, Zhou Yu was very curious, 'He is just a portal operator, since when did he have a detective's ability?'
