The Rise of Otaku

388 Chapter 388: The Crisis Of Closing The City

Starlight City, a city that was full of idols, was now full of a festive atmosphere. This was also the norm in Starlight City because there were only a few days in a year that was without festivals in this city. This was also an advantage of the megacity. They had various festivals to attract tourists.

However, in the Starlight Barracks, it was another solemn atmosphere, and the Starlight Knights had already been assembled here. There were many people that were as strong as Mouse Jack here. With the background of Luhua City, which was only a few years old, it could not compete with Starlight City at all.

If it was really a world where force determined everything, then Luhua City would have already been destroyed.

In this barrack, a weird huge cannon was currently being checked. And an old man who looked like a mad scientist in cartoons, laughed evilly as if he had completed a peerless work, and he could not even contain his own excitement.

At this moment, the guard suddenly stood at attention and shouted: “My Lord!”

The city lord of Starlight City, one of the two main cities of The ACG world, the most mysterious person, now appeared here. Even the mad scientist also had to tidy up his clothes immediately, not daring to ruin the city lord’s majesty.

However, the appearance of the city lord could surprise a lot of people. Because no matter from which point of view, the City Lord of Starlight City could be regarded as a beautiful idol girl. Even in Starlight City where there were many idols, her beauty could still be ranked in the top 10. If Zhou Yu knew that he was being targeted by such a beautiful girl, he probably would not know whether he should be angry or pleased.

“Is the Eight Trigrams Sealing magic cannon ready?”

The voice of Starlight City Lord also sounded very beautiful. Moreover, the name of this cannon sounded also very powerful.

The mad scientist immediately said: “Almost ready. We just need to wait a few more days for the astrological rotation, then the energy of the magic cannon will be fully charged. However, the Sealing Magic Cannon must be fired at close range, and it is relatively fragile when firing. So it requires the protection of the Starlight Knights.”

“No need to worry, my Starlight Knights will definitely not let me down.”

“Eight Trigrams Sealing magic cannon can seal the opponent’s territory in a different space. It is the ultimate weapon used to deal with Mojibake beasts. At present, it is already being moved in the direction of Luhua City, and the accompanying guards are the Starlight Knight Regiment.”

After listening to the explanation of the King of Thieves, Zhou Yu only felt that the odds of winning were very low. Even if all the forces of Luhua City were dispatched to attack them, it seemed impossible to defeat the Starlight Knight Regiment.

Thinking of the worst-case scenario, Zhou Yu asked the King of Thieves carefully, “If we were hit by that cannon, what would happen?”

“Luhua City would completely be isolated, no outsiders would be able to enter. It would be impossible to maintain Luhua City, which is dominated by tourism, and we can only transform it into an agricultural city. However, agricultural cities cannot accommodate so many idols, so idols must change their professions as well.”

Damn, that means I will not be able to make any high-tier games and animations anymore. That’s not good.

“Is there any way to stop the cannon from firing?”

Zhou Yu couldn’t think of any method. He couldn’t do it by force, and he also couldn’t negotiate with the other party. With a few days left, where could he find a countermeasure?

But he didn’t expect that the king of thieves actually had a method. However, this method sounded like mission impossible, “The Eight Trigrams Sealing magic cannon’s energy comes from the movement of stars. If we can change the movement of stars, we will be able to stop the cannon from firing. In addition, if we can find another Magic-beast level weapon, we can also break the seal.”

Changing the movement of stars? If humans had that kind of ability, they would not be trapped on this tiny planet. And looking for magic-beast-level weapons. It was also very difficult to find it in just this short amount of time.

Then Zhou Yu suddenly thought of the underground research institute. The seal of the ACG world crack in the past was also very powerful, but it was also broken by those researchers under the ground. So maybe, they would have some methods to solve this crisis.

So Zhou Yu hurried to find Bing Tang, the director of the Underground Research Institute. After hearing that his opponent was going to use the eight Trigrams Sealing magic cannon, Bing Tang also shrugged and expressed helplessness: “We are not mad scientists who want to destroy the world. How can we develop any destructive weapons? Let me congratulate you on becoming the lord of the agricultural city in advance.”

After speaking, she simply left, leaving Zhou Yu gnashing his teeth in frustration. Indeed, for the underground research institute, it did not matter what kind of city Luhua city was. What they wanted was to open the space of wanderers and return to their families. As long as Luhua City itself was not destroyed, it didn’t matter whether it was prosperous or rundown.

Does this mean that he will really become a farmer soon?

No one knew Zhou Yu’s distress, and the filming in the real world still continued.

Zhou Yu didn’t know where Uncle Fu heard of the suggestion, he bought some professional photographic equipment for the crew, which looked very expensive.

However, these things were not necessary for filming at all, but there were still some other uses, such as shooting posters or bloopers. Anyway, it was not bad for the staff of Qin Zhuan to learn some photography skills. There were some people who were very interested in photography in Qin Zhuan studio, and whenever there were some anime conventions, they would always use their cameras to take photos of girls non-stop. Now they could finally put their skills to use.

“Boy Yu, I showed some people in the industry the script you wrote, and they all said it was pretty good. Someone will come over next week to take a look, and if it’s good, they want to invest in the movie. You can rest assured that they won’t disturb you. At the moment, you can make do with this equipment. At least, you need to make it look like you are professionals.”

It turned out that Uncle Fu gave him that equipment so they would attract more investors.

Zhou Yu had never thought about releasing this movie before, but the rest of the crew were very interested because they also wanted to have their movie be played on the big screens of major cinemas.

Otherwise, why would they be working so hard these days?

God knows how Zhou Yu knows to be a director of a live-action movie, and the guidance he provided for actors was very decent. It didn’t look like he was an amateur director at all. This was also the reason why this group of amateur actors dared to dream that their movie would be played in the big cinemas. It was just that didn’t he normally make animated movies? Where did he learn the directing skill? The mystery of the emperor was as always incomprehensible.
