Chapter 227: Chapter 227 love?

Translator: Doggotranslation

After the appraisal of the stray cat, Hank, the price of the colorful cloud cloth was really not high, they could only earn around two hundred Moe Coins a week, plus the sale of the rainbow butterfly, Zhou Yu would receive around six hundred Moe Coins a week. This income was already pretty good because he could only earn about five thousand Moe Coins through daily quests every month. This side business roughly increased his income by half. Moreover, it also improved the commercial level of Luhua village.

The king of thieves followed Hank around and got some information back. Some of the small villages next to Luhua were without owners, just like Luhua village. It was just that they did not produce a guardian like Zhou Yu, so their levels were much lower.

Having a bunch of ownerless lands nearby would be a good time to expand his territory if Zhou Yu was simply playing a territory conquering game. But idols contend for hegemony was different. Conquering a desolate village, that could not produce idols, would not bring any benefit. Unless it had some legendary stuff like a wild creative tree or something of that nature. Otherwise, no other force would bother to conquer this kind of village.

Even if Zhou Yu became an independent force, he would not touch these places.

However, the situation was different when it came to the provincial capital, where there were several large forces, including Star Light city and the fallen city, as well as the alliance formed by several small independent forces. Together, these three forces form an interesting balance, that no one could do anything to the other.

This was a good situation because, in this way, they probably would not come to harass Luhua village. Instead, some small forces in the south were much more dangerous, they were still in a state of chaotic war, and they may launch an attack on Luhua village at any time.

For this, Zhou Yu also specially asked the king of thieves, that if his force was defeated, what would the consequences be? The king of thieves’ answer was, “if Luhua village was defeated, the idols and the talented people of Luhua village would become other people’s goods, the name of the guardian would be taken away from you. However, you can still take the rest of the people to find other places to live, or pay a certain amount of money to get the village back.”

Leaving Luhua village was not going to happen, after all, he had already built an amusement park here, and it was even more impossible to ask him to give little Muli and his other kids to other people.

“Then, did my senior Zhou Miao build a force before?”

During this period, Zhou Yu had also investigated some of Zhou Miao’s past. It seemed like even after he became famous, he still didn’t move to other places. According to the normal development speed, his base should also be able to be upgraded to a city, it made Zhou Yu wonder how he got away from this crisis.

However, no one could answer this question, and the king of thieves also had no information about this. Perhaps Zhou Miao joined Star Light city or the fallen city. It was also possible that Zhou Miao did not have any conflicts with people in his entire life. Or maybe he had unified Star Light city and other forces other than the fallen city.

Zhou Yu had no ambitions, he just wanted to stay in Luhua village and protect it. He did not want to dominate the world, even in the ACG world. Guarding mini Luhua village was more than enough for him.

Fortunately, the village has not been upgraded to a city, and at the moment the villagers of mini Luhua village were still satisfied with their living environment, coupled with having little Muli and Bai Mo those two idols in the village, Zhou Yu was not scared of being challenged by other forces. Or maybe those small forces in the south were scared that Zhou Yu would want to expand his territory at the moment.

………

The comic series “the hunt for revenge”, Liu Gongcai has finally seen it, and he was finally relieved after seeing it. The main artist was still the fast-handed Wang, but in the fast-handed Wang’s personal profile, it said that he had joined a studio called Ying Xiu comic studio, and this studio was a lot like Zhou Yu’s other teams, they didn’t want to show their faces at all.

Although the style has not changed much, it was more delicate and exquisite. Moreover, the overwhelming feeling that came from the comic even made Liu Gongcai feel moved. The characters in this comic became more vivid, and the surging emotional conflicts were much better displayed in this comic.

Maybe someone else did the writing of this story?

Anyway, just like what Zhou Yu said, it was a good comic. And the ending of “assassin” was also reasonable and logical and did not give people a sense of abruptness. They just needed to wait for some time, then they would be able to start carrying out the preliminary advertising of the hunt for revenge.

However, something that interested him was that Zhou Yu emphasized that the production time of “the hunt for revenge” would be at most one chapter a week, and it would not be possible to draw two or more chapters a week like “assassin”. If it was unlucky, they might not be able to meet the deadline, so he needed to stockpile some chapters first, and when “assassin” was about to end, they probably could start to release the chapters of the hunt for revenge.

During the promotional activities of “assassin”, they indeed often release two chapters a week, for which it had helped them to attract a lot of readers. After all, it was rare to find an artist of such high quality and such high efficiency. Now that the fast-handed Wang has joined a studio, of course, he would not be able to enjoy as much freedom as before, so it was understandable that his speed would be slowed down.

Fortunately, the assassin had over a hundred chapters in stock, so it could still last for a long time.

However, Liu Gongcai also encountered another trouble recently. He didn’t know which bastard in the editorial office had leaked information, that “the assassin” was about to end. The news then began to spread on the Internet, causing huge reactions online. For the live-action movie “assassin”, it was very bad news.

If the comic assassin was over before the movie version was released, then it would have a huge impact on the sale of the movie.

For this, Liu Gongcai had to constantly come out to assure the film investors and the readers, that there was no need to worry. If it were not for the stockpiled chapters that Zhou Yu handed to him later on, he wouldn’t have this much confidence in explaining to other people.

At the shooting scene of the film “assassin”, Liu Gongcai once again assured the film partners that the comic assassin would not end anytime soon, and when the film was about to be released, the comic would even release multiple chapters to help to promote the film.

The only pity thing was that Zhou Yu still did not agree to let Muli sing the theme song, even if she didn’t need to show her face. The reason was that she was currently shooting “the little Muli’s incredible maze” and had no spare time.

No spare time my ass. It is just an animation variety show, how is it possible that she doesn’t have time?

Speaking of this show, it became very popular recently. And unexpectedly, the voice actors of the twelve adventurers of the show all had very good singing voices. Especially the one called Yi Nian, whose voice was simply stunning. How could such a person just be a voice actor?

Some of the supporting roles appearing in the show also began to have a little bit of fame, such as the alluring female owner of the tavern, and her dance in the tavern was simply amazing.

Liu Gongcai couldn’t help but marvel at the fact that there were so many talented people working for Zhou Yu. Each one of them could instantly become famous if they left Zhou Yu. However…

As he finished thinking, he raised his head. Suddenly, he saw a scene that made his heart skip a beat. The female lead of the film assassin was currently wiping sweat for Lou Xiaobao, and the expressions of those two people were quite ambiguous.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
