The Rise Of Otaku
/ The Rise of Otaku Chapter 136
All-day long, Zhou Yu has been looking through his diary, trying to find out why his learning ability has improved greatly. Page by page, he saw the information such as some buildings were added, some animation or games were produced successfully, some people successfully became the villagerS of mini Luhua village, and some mounts successfully bred the second generation or the new mounts has successfully joined in.
These had nothing to do with the problem he had, and after turning pages after pages for a long time, he finally found a strange message:
"Through the carpenter master beaver's assessment, the real-world human carpenter apprentice, Wu Yun, was promoted to Carpenter Disciple, Brain Energy Value has been increased a little. When fully engaged in learning under the guidance of the villagers of the ACG world, some Brain Energy would be consumed and the process of learning the skill would be accelerated."
As he expected, it indeed had something to do with the ACG world.
It roughly meant that because he had accepted a real-world apprentice, and when the real-world apprentice leveled up, it would trigger his passive skill - Learning Talent, and then he could learn skills very fast. But it required a total commitment in learning a particular skill to trigger such effect, and it was not unlimited. When he used up brain energy, this passive skill would also lose its effect.
It had already been sometimes after Wu Yun leveled up, during this period of time, Zhou Yu also did some carpentry work and followed the fisherman cormorant to fishing, but he didn't feel that his skills were improved. Probably because he didn't enjoy those activities that much, he was just doing it on a daily basis because of the daily quests, so it didn't trigger the skill. And cooking was something that he really wanted to learn, so it triggered the learning talent skill, which had been sitting silently for a while.
No wonder the carpenter beaver said that accepting more apprentices would be good for him. He did not expect that by training those people, he would have such a benefit. If you think about it, wouldn't it be possible to increase more brain energy by having a carpenter class? Then he would become like those smart students, and then everything would be easy for him to learn.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu was slightly excited. He hopped happily to find the carpenter beaver and asked whether it wanted to recruit a few more students. Since there was not much big of a difference from teaching one student to teaching some students. Besides, didn't it always want more disciples?
However, the carpenter beaver's answer disappointed him, "forget about it, only by teaching those who have higher Otaku power than you can you gain brain energy. You won't gain any by teaching ordinary people. By the way, you have really disappointed me. I have asked you to learn carpentry from me, but you used the rare brain energy in learning cooking! This old man..."
Seeing the beaver was going to lecturing non-stop again, Zhou Yu quickly ran away. After returning home, he stood before the mirror to check his own status, Otaku power was still 7.8, just a little bit below the dazzling level 8.0. So it meant that only by teaching Otakus that were at or above the dazzling level would he gain brain energy.
Otaku power could be changed, just like the Otaku power of Little Rat, it was now raised to 2.0 by him. He was now changed from a person with a rich and satisfying offline life to a person who was slightly interested in the ACG communities. However, the higher the Otaku power is the more difficult it can be increased. Just like Zhou Yu, he was still at 7.8.
However, where to find those dazzling Otakus?
'Game Expo or comic convention? Nah, I don't want to travel. I think I'll just wait and see.'
As long as the fame of Beidou studio and Qin Zhuan studio kept getting bigger, sooner or later, some people would come to the amusement park, just like Wu Yun. This method was a bit dumb, but it was much better than running around the world.
For now, he just wanted to drain as much energy as possible from Wu Yun.
The brain energy value can not be directly viewed, only the relevant information can be found in the game diary. And in the last month's diary, Zhou Yu could see the messages such as "You have spent XX minutes studying cooking skills. It consumed XX amount of brain energy," every day.
Tragically, just three days earlier, the amount of brain energy that he had acquired from Wu Yun, was used up.
No wonder in the past few days, when practicing cutting vegetables he did not have that kind of smooth and easy feeling. Originally, he thought that he had reached the bottleneck of his knife skills, which was just like those wuxia novels. But it turned out that he had run out of the fuel.
Although using the brain energy had a kind of feeling of cheating, he was not competing with anyone, nor did he have a similar ambition as Liu Mao Xing - the protagonist of Chuka Ichiban. He just wanted to make some delicious food for himself and the people around him. So he didn't mind cheating at all.
Wanting to refuel, at present, the only "oil mine" he had was Wu Yun. She has been studying the intermediate secret manual for a period of time already. It made Zhou Yu wonder when would she be able to finish. Zhou Yu, who was impatient, suddenly started to worry about Wu Yun's study.
Upon entering the doll Villa, he saw that Wu Yun was carving an airship carefully inside, and there were already some finished products of different shapes around her. No wonder the carpenter beaver was dissatisfied. Comparing the learning attitude, Wu Yun completely annihilated Zhou Yu.
There was another girl in the Doll Villa, she was in charge of the handicraft gift shop. Every day, she would get new goods from Wu Yun and sell them in the gift shop. Although the price was not expensive, the monthly sales were not bad. Wu Yun started out by making some simple toys, but now she was able to make complicated ship models. Her learning ability was truly amazing.
Seeing the little boss came in, the other girl knew that it was the learning time. So she picked up the finished products, greeted Zhou Yu and then left.
"Master, please come and help me. Something is wrong in this area but I can't quite tell what it is?"
Wu Yun was really into making models. She didn't even greet her master, just directly entered the study mode. The carpenter beaver immediately came over and explained in detail what Wu Yun had done wrong, while Zhou Yu pretended to look at it for a while and then began to repeat what the beaver had said.
After the regular teaching, unlike what he usually did, Zhou Yu did not leave the doll Villa, but asked Wu Yun while feeling slightly embarrassed, "Xiao Wu, do you like living here?"
Such a question if it was asked by ordinary people, it would be very normal, but when it was asked by Zhou Yu, it gave people a kind of inexplicable strange feeling. Fortunately, Wu Yun's EQ was also very low, she didn't think anything but answer honestly, "of course, master, every day I can do my favorite things, and everyone is very good to me."
"Good, good. Well, I have a lot of free time these days, so I may come here to teach you more often. Is it okay with you?"
Zhou Yu wanted to level up Wu Yun as quick as possible, so he could go back to improve his cooking skills. Although it was very troublesome for him, this was his only option at the moment. Moreover, he was worried that the intensive training would make her become tired of carpentry. However, Wu Yun, who was very obsessed with models, accepted very gladly.
Therefore, the intensive carpentry training class was soon begun.
