The Violet Rosewood Farmer’s Hut: belongs to the farmer Tian Niang – level (one star), who likes to take care of all kinds of flowers, dislike to take care of animals, no particular skills.
There was finally a female in the ACG world! And it was a female human, not an animal. However, it was just that the character dressed like a middle-aged woman. It was not exactly the type of Moe character that he had expected. But nevertheless, it was an improvement, and the possibility of having a house that was full of Moe girls was greatly increased.
After placing the farmer’s hut next to other pot plants, Tian Niang began to automatically take care of the nearest pot plants. One star farmer could only take care of five pot plants at the same time. Luckily, the pot plants he had at the moment didn’t exceed that number. But in the future, if he wanted to plant any more, he would probably need to remove the old ones.
The farmer would consume three units of food a day, and require 30 Moe Coins as the monthly salary. The food unit problem could be solved by using the fish he had caught, the monthly salary also wasn’t too expensive. So it was still affordable. In terms of the leveling up requirements, apart from the required proficiency level, he also needed to build a Rural Cooperative Association. This was going to be another big expense.
Having settled Tian Niang down, Zhou Yu returned to his house satisfactorily.
Since he had the eyes of the ACG world, the time he spent on the internet was greatly reduced. Apart from writing some chapters, he almost didn’t do anything else. He had also stopped playing many games.
Actually, with just selling pot plants online, he would be able to have a decent income. As long as he could get some less rare pot plants. Although the growing speed of the plants that had the ACG world’s attributes would be very fast during their vegetative phase. But once they became stable, they were no different than the regular plants. So it would not be a problem to deceive anyone.
It was too bad that Zhou Yu was not interested in doing business. He even had no interest in opening a pot-plants online shop. After all, he had not reached a condition where he was in need of money. Although writing stories online did not make much money, as long as he could survive, there was no need for him to become a full-fledged member of society.
The fun after writing the story online was to release the hunter’s latest fan-made chapters online to mesmerize that gang of comic fanatics to a point that their minds go blank, and enjoy the pleasure of being worshipped.
……………………………
Apart from having an artistic talent that could compete with Yoshihiro Togashi, the imprisoned Toaist’s chapter releasing speed was also extremely shocking. One chapter a day, and it had been half a month now, there was no sign of stopping. If it was in Japan, this kind of production speed was enough for the publisher to survive for several months.
Geniues were usually weirdos. Although the Taoist was very talented, he never talked to anyone, nor did he revealed his real information to anyone. His mysterious identity made many people constantly discussing who he really was. Normally, with the help of those posts and after having enough followers, the Taoist should have come out to collect his fame and fortune. But why he was still hiding behind the internet?
This was the question that Lou Gongcai, who worked for Tencent Animations and Comics, also could not understand.
As the hunter’s official publisher in China, Tencent animations and comics also started to pay attention to this imprisoned Taoist after the original post blew up. Especially through their own contacts in Japan, they learned that Yoshihiro Togashi himself also gave a high complimentary remark to those fan-make chapters. They really hope that they could sign up this person. With this person’s ability and talent, plus the person was so hardworking, they would definitely be able to successfully rebrand this person to become a super famous Chinese manga artist.
However, after the passionate and excited discussion in the internal meeting, they met with an embarrassing problem – Who was this Imprisoned Taoist? It seemed like so far, the Taoist had not revealed his true identity to anyone. There was not any information about him on the internet.
No matter where he is, we need to find this ‘prisoner’!
Liu Gongcai slammed his hands on his desk and said.
Oh well… it seemed easy to say, and no one seemed to think that it would difficult. Although the Taoist did not leave any contact information, he often appeared in Baidu hunterxhunter forum, so they could still private message him.
However, all the private messages had been fabulously ignored. It was not that Zhou Yu did it on purpose. He often just log into his account to upload some chapters. He hardly ever checked if someone had messaged him or not. But what Tencent animations and comics did not know was, that it was not just one company was looking for him. Many popular comics sites, manga magazine publishers or even sites were also looking for this Internet celebrity. Some companies had even mentioned how much they would pay in the private message.
It was a shame that they met someone, who was only fond of playing. They were just unlucky. Zhou Yu also would not agree to become a manga artist. Because the permanent comic studio had not been built yet, and after releasing the 300 imitated chapters, the current one would also disappear. At that time, what could he use to fool them?
After the information about many companies were looking for the Taoist, was leaked out, many fans were not surprised.
It would only be strange if no one was looking for him. After all, before he even formally drew anything, he had already gained enough reputations.
The only thing that made the fans felt strange was that not a single company said that they had signed up the Taoist successfully, but the Taoist was still releasing the chapters once a day at a crazy speed.
Did he ask for a lot of money?
Although many fans were happy to see the fan-made chapters, they would prefer to see some good Chinese manga, and with the talent that the imprisoned Taoist had, it would not be difficult.
Having this kind of hopes in their minds, more and more people began to urge Taoist to join the Chinese animation companies.
With this kind of post became more and more, it finally gained Zhou Yu’s attention. Only until this moment, did he realized that his inbox was full.
Becoming a manga artist? Although it was very interesting, he couldn’t do it at the moment. He had to wait for the permanent comics studio. So Zhou Yu specially posted a new thread.
He first stated that he was thrilled that everyone loved his chapters, and also mentioned that the reason he drew those chapters was that he liked Hunter X Hunter. However, at the moment, he was not interested in becoming a full-time manga artist. He wanted to wait until he was good enough in the future, and then he would repay everyone’s appreciation with his own manga.
Of course, there as another hidden meaning in the post. It meant that those companies should stop looking for him.
Seeing the post, many fans expressed that they were willing to wait. After all, they still could read Hunter’s chapters. However, all those companies were dumbfounded.
What was wrong with this Taoist? He should’ve taken this opportunity to publish his own works to gather as much profit as possible. Why was he still drawing the fan-made chapters? Could he even make money from it? No matter how good his drawing was, if he carried on doing this, he was just a Dōjin artist.
However, after that post, the Taoist went back to his normal routine again. It seemed like he was determined to become a Hunter Dojin artist. Realizing that, many companies gave up inviting him. Until one day…
After a month of growing the plant, the idol flower finally bloomed. The light pink flowers were very beautiful. But that was not important to Zhou Yu. The important thing was that when he looked at the center of the biggest flower using his Eyes of the ACG world, he saw a very pretty kid.
The story of Thumbelina by Andersen was very well-known, so it was not too surprised for Zhou Yu to see a kid that was around 10cm big in the Camellia japonica’s flower. It was just that…
‘I want a girl, not a boy!
Although he was small, and from his appearance, Zhou Yu couldn’t tell his gender, he was dressing the men’s clothing, so it meant that he was definitely a boy.
However, no matter how frustrated Zhou Yu was, he was not able to return it. This was a common feature of the gashapon machine and the vending machine. The gender of the idol flower was completely random, so it was normal to come out a male idol.
What was more sad about it was, that the boy was in a deep deep sleep. Zhou Yu had been observing it for two days. But its status was always shown – sleeping. There was no sign that he would wake up anytime soon. So he invited three animated creatures to come over and have a look.
The carpenter and the fisherman couldn’t help. This was not within their knowledge field. Only when the old dragon king checked the idol flower from the top to the bottom did he finally said,
is it possible that it has been cursed by magic?
