The Rise of Otaku - Chapter 283
Chapter 283: Chapter 283 Embroiderer Shadowless Hand
While the building of wonder was under construction, Zhou Yu also issued a new city lord’s order: After The Building Of Wonder was completed, the city in the ACG world would host a throwing the embroidered ball event, and the person that was going to throw the embroidered ball would be the fallen idol, who had just joined Luhua city.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted great attention from the ACG World. In this era where idols were scarce, there were actually people holding rare events like throwing the embroidered ball, it was quite surprising. And based on Luhua city’s announcement, it seemed like they wanted to make it into a grand event. After all, they even started to construct the building of wonder.
Xing Huan, the agent of a management company in Starlight City, was currently busy recruiting all kinds of personnel for the event and actively promoting it. He even started to contact the Starlight city TV station and wanted to broadcast it on a large scale.
In this way, it seemed like Luhua City was not lying when they said that they did not want this fallen idol.
And the surrounding forces had also stopped complaining about Luhua city because they had taken two idols. Instead, they all started to prepare for the event.
Since it was going to be a grand event, then it would not be as simple as just throwing an embroidered ball, and then they could take away the idol. After all, it would be a pity that they did not use this opportunity to make some profits.
Of course, they would not directly ask money from the participants of the event. That was an extremely embarrassing thing to do. What producer Oba suggested was to use this event to develop and expand various business activities. Tourists, tickets, plus morning and evening performances should be able to help the commercial development of Luhua City.
The only pity thing was that the second season of Little Muli’s incredible maze has already been broadcasted, and its promotional activities have already begun, but the building of wonder could only be completed after one month. It would not be able to catch up with the earlier promotional schedule. At most, it could probably cover some later promotional activities.
There were too many first-rate idols in “the killing intent within the imperial city”, the second season of the little Muli’s incredible maze. If Zhou Yu invited all of them to perform during the event, the performance cost may cause Luhua City to go bankrupt instantly. Only by using the promotional activities stipulated in the contract could these idols be brought together. Of course, in this way, Luhua city would not be able to get all the profit of the event, and some part of it would be allocated to the Beidou management company.
Although they have been working with each other for a very long time, Zhou Yu still shouldn’t take advantage of this relationship.
In order to host the throwing embroidered ball event, Zhou Yu was extremely busy, and it was the same as people that followed him. The beaver and monkey were busy with the construction of the building of wonder. The wood that could be harvested in the small forest had already been harvested. The ores in the storehouse had also been taken out to be refined. However, there was still a lack of resources. The cost of purchasing the material outside would be too high, so Zhou Yu could only rely on the workers in the miner’s hut to work very hard.
The stray cat Hank was nervously arranging the entire Luhua City, rehearsing for the upcoming event. Even the flying bird knights were commanded to fly around by him, transporting supplies and materials, and no one could escape from it.
Another important item was the embroidered ball. This embroidered ball should not be an ordinary item. In the past, at least, it should be an embroidered ball produced by Tianyu City. In terms of those who wanted to have good quality embroidered balls, then they needed to go for the embroidered ball produced by Lancang City. Of course, these few cities used to be prosperous because of the throwing embroidered ball event, but now most of them have fallen, so Zhou Yu could only choose Jinguan City’s best-quality embroidered ball, the rainbow dragon ball.
And the one that was sent to purchase this embroidered ball was the flying bird knight Bubu.
Riding the knight’s mount, Sir Black, Bubu finally arrived at Jinguan City after a few days of flying. This city used to be extremely prosperous, but now it was even more rundown than Bubu had expected. Especially the embroidered ball production workshop, the embroidered balls here have lost their original purpose, most of them were simply sold as low-grade ornaments, barely covering the expenses of the workshop.
When the owner of the embroidered ball workshop heard that Bubu wanted to buy the top-level rainbow dragon ball, he immediately burst into tears, almost knelt down before Bubu while holding his hands.
For many years, he thought that he would never have the opportunity to make the glorious masterpiece of Jinguan City again, and his skills would be completely lost. But he did not expect that nowadays, there was still someone wanting to buy this expensive item that cost a lot of work, time and materials to make.
1,000 Moe coins an embroidered ball, and this was the price after the owner kindly offered a 40% discount. If it was still in the past, there was no way they would be able to get one with this kind of price.
Not only that, but the after-sales service was also very good. When Sir Black returned to Luhua City, in addition to the rainbow dragon ball, an old technician also came to Luhua City with them.
“My name is Shadowless Hand, and I am responsible for the normal operation of the rainbow dragon ball. With me there, you don’t worry about having an accident during the event.”
At first glance, the old man looked like an expert. Zhou Yu also liked this kind of character, especially when he checked the information of the Shadowless Hand, he noticed that this old man could enter the six-pointed star disc, so he welcomed him even more warmly. Although Shadowless Hand could not represent any one of the six basic gaming systems, it could increase the operability of the game and the ingenuity of the items in the game.
Moreover, the old man had a sub-profession, and it was one of the most popular professions, ‘fashion designer’. Although Shadowless Hand was only specialized in ‘accessories’, for Luhua city, a city that seriously lacked fashion designers, he was still someone that they wanted very much.
Such a talented person, how can I ask him to leave Jinguan City and join Luhua city? Zhou Yu could not help but think. According to Bubu’s report, Jinguan City has already become a rundown city, and the embroidered ball workshop basically did not need this kind of senior mechanics. Maybe they would thank him for hiring this old man.
Anyway, there were still more than twenty days before the throwing embroidered ball event, he had enough time to persuade this old man.
During this time, the food Shadowless Hand ate was cooked by Kaka and Benben personally, the house he lived in was personally built by the carpenter Beaver, and whenever he appeared in the little Kingdom, he would be warmly greeted by the people in the city. Compared with the benefit he received in Jinguan City, this place could be described as heaven.
However, Shadowless Hand was still hesitant.
“This old man understands the lord’s good intention, but there is one more thing that I haven’t finished in Jinguan City, so I really can’t give you an answer now.”
Although he said this, Zhou Yu still smiled. Because he saw a notice suddenly popped up in his quest log, [Receiving The Quest: The Vow Of An Embroiderer, Shadowless Hand. If he can complete his unfinished vow, he will become a resident of Luhua City.]
“Yes!” Zhou Yu shouted happily in his mind and then carried on listening to the quest detail, “when I was young, I once vowed to leave the footprint of our embroiderer on the building of wonder, and became the best embroiderer in this line of work. However, times have passed, and I still have not fulfilled this promise. If the lord is willing to help me to complete my vow, I will be very grateful. ”
Damn, what a coincidence. The building of wonder just happened to be under construction in Luhua city.
Zhou Yu almost could not stop himself from smiling. This was clearly pennies from heaven.
