Chapter 302: Chapter 302 The End Of The Dark Age

The negotiation was very smooth. Shang Yue accepted the rule of Luhua City, which was the rule of the three-month investigation period, without any hesitation. He accepted it so quickly that it did not seem like he was hiding something. Or maybe he was confident that Luhua City would not be able to find out what they were hiding. But Zhou Yu did not think it was very likely. After all, it was the king of thieves, who led the team. His ability to detect other people's secrets could absolutely not be underestimated.

Even if they had quite a lot of people, and three months' time was not enough to investigate every one thoroughly, with the king of thieves, the unstable factors in Luhua City would be discovered by him very quickly. With an investigator like him, it would be still very difficult for other people to carry out some secret activities in Luhua city.

What Zhou Yu could do was to believe Heifengzhai, at least, before they could find any evidence, he needed to treat Heifengzhai like how he treated Beidou. Of course, the thing about building the wandering idol guild, he still wanted Xia Huan to do it, and fortunately, no one else knew about it.

The next day, Heifengzhai issued a statement at the press conference that they now formally left the fallen horde and joined Luhua City.

A small remote place that had just been upgraded into a city suddenly had two management companies. This matter itself was a very strange thing, not to mention that one of those two management companies had a long history in Starlight city, and the other one was the rising star of the fallen city. Was the chaotic force really going to emerge in the ACG world and become the third major force?

There were a lot of discussions outside, but it did not affect Zhou Yu's daily life much. Anyway, he was now actively exploring different ways of playing the fallen idol management company.

As previously mentioned, the popularity of Luhua City could only support the existence of ten idols at most. If Luhua city had more idols, it would bring negative effects to idols, which would be very dangerous. As soon as the fallen management company joined in, this number obviously exceeded the limit.

Unexpectedly, Shang Yue said it very casually, “That's easy. We will just keep three idols in Heifengzhai and then temporarily transform the rest of the idols into ordinary citizens?”

You can even do this? Not only Zhou Yu, but Xia Huan was also surprised by it. Although it was indeed possible to avoid exceeding the number of idols this way, would those idols, who were asked to transform into ordinary citizens, not leave the city? If they didn't get any jobs, it was normal that people would leave, right?

“All of the idols under Heifengzhai have actually not formally signed a contract. If they want to leave, they can stay wherever they want. What's the problem? Hey, you guys, use rock paper scissors to decide who will stay. After that, you will take turns to work in the company every week, and take vacations at other times. Are you okay with that?”

Shang Yue spoke very casually to the nine fallen idols in his company. He didn't force them at all, and it made Xia Huan even more surprised.

No contract? Then how could the benefits of idols be guaranteed? How to ensure that idols would not be taken away by other companies? Did all the fallen management companies operate this way? This was so unbelievable!

Xia Huan's head was full of question marks.

“What's so strange about it? Currently, in the fallen horde, only my management company does not accept 18+ jobs. Any fallen idols, who don't want to go down the fallen path will only choose to work under my company. It is also the same for other staff as well, otherwise, why do you think there will be so many people following me? I am not a Dragon Proud Sky after all.”

Shang Yue said casually and then wanted to go check out the amusement park. They had been staying in the Fallen City for too long, and there was no chance for them to relax and have some fun. Now that they could finally rest for a while. Naturally, he would take his men to have some fun around the amusement park.

Seeing that he and his employees were jumping up and down in the park, it really didn't look like a contractual relationship, but more like a group of friends hanging out with each other. Seeing this scene, Xia Huan could only shake his head and said, “Heifengzhai is indeed an incredible company.”

Among the employees of Heifengzhai, there was also a special character, that was, the electrician fox. Coincidentally, it and the carpenter beaver and the stonemason monkey were actually brothers of the same master.

The specific work of the electrician was to arrange the lights, sounds, projections, and large screens of the concert site. In Luhua city, the appearance of electrician foxes has allowed the Gashapon machine and the vending machine to unlock more items.

The carpenter beaver and the stonemason monkeys happily showed their senior brother, who they have seen for a very long time, around the entire Luhua city. From just a rundown village to a city, all the buildings were mostly built by them, so naturally they were full of pride.

However, after walking around for a while, the electrician fox was very dissatisfied, “Why haven't you improved any after so long? Did you live in the last century? I can't see any light, and such a good building of wonder, but now it looks like an ancient building. I'm really disappointed in you!”

The reason why the electrician fox complained was that none of these buildings were equipped with electrical appliances, and the building of wonder was only illuminated by the light in the real world. But this should not blame those two people, after all, Luhua City has not gotten any electrical components.

An important condition for an advanced metropolis or kingdom was to have electricity, but there were no electricians in Luhua city in the past.

Now that there was an electrician fox, they could finally walk out of the dark age.

The next day, the electrician Fox found Zhou Yu, hoping to construct an electrician's hut and a plantation of electric components.

Electric component plantation, as the name implied, can grow some electronic components needed by electricians, and the electrical appliance factory can manufacture a variety of electrical appliances using those components. And the most top product of the electrical appliance factory was actually game consoles!

When reading the introduction of the electrical appliance factory, Zhou Yu was very surprised. Holy shit, is there even this kind of black technology? Just by collecting some parts, he could create something that was similar to the current mainstream game consoles? This was incredible!

However, as soon as he looked at the materials needed to make the console, he immediately calmed down.

He hasn't heard of any of those materials. The lowest-level material was the metal element alloy. At present, Luhua City had no ability to manufacture it. Looking at the long list of rare materials after that, Zhou Yu knew that if he wanted to make a game console, he didn't know how long he had to wait.

However, there were some gadgets that were not so difficult to make.

For example, virtual game cards.

This was the first game-related item that an electrical appliance factory could produce, and it also made Zhou Yu very curious. After reading the introduction, the so-called virtual game card was probably something similar to “Yu-Gi-Oh”.

That was to say, if all the required electronic products were put together, it was not impossible to reproduce the game Yu-Gi-Oh in real life.

Just the thought of this made Zhou Yu very excited.
