Chapter 19 Interview

“Luhua Village Aircraft Carrier Launching Ceremony Recording” – this video was very popular on the Internet recently. It even became the most popular search term. The small Lolis and Shotas, that were wearing all kinds of military uniforms in the video, were even able to perform the military march neatly. It was really fascinating.

The entire seemingly serious ceremony was also a little hilarious. Especially after the children lost their order, and one of the kids was jumping up and down trying to maintain the order. It was cute as hell.

In the end, what they launched was actually an aircraft carrier that made of wood. But the exquisite model was extremely lifelike. It was also one of the reasons why the video went viral.

With the popularity of the video was increasing every day, the information about Luhua village was also dug up by many people. Having learned that the older generation of the village used to fight in the war, it instantly made many people looked at the video with respect.

No wonder that a group of kids could perform the military march so neatly. So it was passed down from their older generation.

Zhou Shuyu also advertised her online shop at the appropriate time in the video.

As people followed the URL and entered the site, they could immediately see many military weapon models. The most attractive one – the aircraft carrier was displayed on the first page. However, it was shown “not for sale”. It made many people sigh with disappointments.

In terms of other products, all of them was shown sold out. It meant that they were already purchased by other people. Reluctantly accepting the fact that they were late, many people message the seller, urging the seller for the next batch of models.

‘There is a huge market!’ Looking at the comments left by the people online, Zhou Shuyu’s eyes almost became dollars signs. So in the next day, she came to Zhou Yu’s house, asking him to stop playing games all day long, and telling him that he should take this opportunity to make some more models. He would definitely able to make a lot of money.

However, Zhou Yu was busy testing his single player game. He didn’t have any time to make any more of them, so he constantly rejected her.

Zhou Shuyu felt like as if she was going to die of frustration soon. No wonder why uncle Hong would be disappointed. He was so lazy to the extent that he would rather play games than pick up money from the ground. It was just like he wanted to drive people insane.

………………………

Getting up from the bed, Zhou Yu heard someone was knocking on his door. Perhaps it was some kids wanting to play in his yard. Summer holiday was almost over, there were not many days left for those kids to play with the toys that Zhou Yu made. So recently they came to Zhou Yu’s house very early.

Especially for those kids whose parents were working in the city, they were only able to return to the village during the summer holiday, so during the last few days of their holidays, they would spend as much time they had in Zhou Yu’s yard.

However, after opening the door, what he saw was the old village chief Zhou Xingyi, who was followed by Zhou Shuyu and He Yuanyuan.

“Kid, there will be a journalist coming over to take a video and some photos of your aircraft carrier later, so hurry up clean your yard.”

The video of the carrier launching ceremony was so popular that it even became news. Because of this, some journalists wanted to conduct some special interviews.

The village committee was extremely confused when they received the interview request. What ship launching ceremony? and it was an aircraft carrier? Stop joking around. This was a mountain village, how on earth they would an aircraft carrier.

Only after journalists explained it carefully, did the people in the village committee finally knew what was going on. So it was the video that those kids took became popular on the internet. Anyway, it was a good thing, not a bad thing, so they began to find everyone that was in the video.

That was why the old village chief came to knock on Zhou Yu’s door.

Despite Zhou Yu didn’t want to clean his yard, the carrier had been taken care of by Zhou Hao. Every time before he left Zhou Yu’s yard, he would always move the carrier into the storage room. He was worried that it would get wet if it suddenly rained. Because he knew that lazy brother Yu definitely would not come out to move it.

In terms of the old house that Zhou Yu was living in, just some journalists would not make him clean his house. Anyway, Zhou Yu’s attitude towards this interview was – take it or leave it. So when the journalist came to Zhou Yu’s house, what they saw was one hundred percent, the genuine look of his house, there was nothing fake at all.

The journalist that came to Zhou Yu’s house was working for a TV program, that was dedicated to the in-depth investigations on the viral videos and articles online. Based on the information they gathered, they would judge if the videos or the articles were fake or not. It was a TV program that actually had a good number of viewers.

After the aircraft carrier video went viral, all kinds of questions had also been raised. Some said that the video was the advertisement for the online shop. Originally, people were okay with it. However, when someone questioned why those kids needed to practice military marching during the hot summer, it instantly became a heated discussion.

One of the most controversial topics was that, if this was the event that conducted by those kids themselves, even if there were people around them watching what they were doing, they would most likely use mobiles to take videos, so the quality of the video should not be too high. However, from the video that was uploaded online, it could be clearly seen that the video was taken from multiple angles using high-quality cameras.

No wandered why Shen Zhou Shuyu and He Yuanyuan were not happy when they became famous. Perhaps, it was because they couldn’t reply to all the negative comments online, and they couldn’t change what other people were thinking. This was also the sad thing about being internet celebrities. Now that there was a TV program could help them to explain everything, the negative comments would be reduced slightly.

When they interviewed Zhou Yu, the questions they asked was usually around the motives of making the aircraft carrier and the business relationship between him and Zhou Shuyu. Because none of those were secrets, so Zhou Yu just told them everything honestly.

Zhou Yu had to admit that he was overwhelmed by the patience of the female reporter. Despite that his house was covered with spider webs, the female reporter still insist on doing the interview to the end. Although most of the time they were in his yard, Zhou Yu thought that the courage of the female reporter was still deserving praise.

Luckily, Zhou Yu was not the main person that they needed to interview. They mainly needed to interview the “directors” and those kids. After all, they were the main actors in the video.

The only problem was that his yard would not be quiet for a few days. Because the investigation team said that they would need to stay in the village for a few days to conduct an in-depth investigation. After all, this was what made their program interesting.

Apart from filming the aircraft carrier and other military equipment, they also filmed the pot plants and other building scale models, such as the Taoist temple, the game company, etc…

However, they didn’t have the eyes of the ACG world, there was no way they would be able to notice anything from those plants and buildings.

………………………

Before they sent the report’s team away, they were told that the program would be aired in a week. And after they left, what the villagers of Luhua village most talked about was that if they would appear on TV or not.

However, to Zhou Yu, he was finally able to get rid of them and returned to his quiet life.

Because he was scared that his strange behaviour would be noticed by those investigators, he also stopped catching the small beasts for several days. He could have caught several beast cards in those few days. He may even have been able to catch a few more programming apes. After all, he still needed more of them to produce a tier three game.

The tier two horror game – Luhua village had already been completed. Zhou Yu was currently playing it. Playing the horror game in midnight would always provide some natural special effect.

The beginning of the game made Zhou Yu almost jumped out his skin. The graphics of the tier one game, he would only give two points out of ten points at most. And it was because of the weather changing feature of the game earned that additional point.

Originally, he thought that although the graphic of the tier two game might be slightly better, it was still three or four points at the most. However, this game was something else. At the beginning of the game, it just directly gave the player a CG animation.

The level of this CG animation was about the same level of the CG animation of Final Fantasy IX. Although it was worse than the current top CG animations, in the domestic market, this CG animation still looked pretty amazing. The beginning of the CG animation was rather dark. Under the moonlight, an abandoned village temple was gradually zoomed in. Then all kinds of scary murals appeared on the screen. In the dark night, this graphic was extremely “lethal”.

Then from a dark room deep inside the temple, came the heavy breathing sounds and many strange noises that could easily make one’s hairs stand on end.

As the door creaked open, and with the moonlight that shed through the broken ceiling from the sky, Zhou Yu could clearly see a big black silhouette was busy doing something on a table.

After a while, the silhouette suddenly stopped his work, then the strange noise also stopped. As the silhouette slowly turned around, it revealed a terrifying face, and its bloody hands were holding a heart, that was still beating.

After the close-up shot, the camera quickly paned up. There was a young man in an ancient student dress lying on the table. He seemed to be sleeping peacefully, there was a big hole in his chest, and his heart was gone.

As the camera zoomed even closer, the young man suddenly opened his eyes. At the same time, the creepy sound effect instantly appeared.

Then the CG animation suddenly ended. But it closely followed by the main story. However, at this moment, Zhou Yu suddenly paused the game and wanted to go toilet.

It was not that he shat himself. It was just that his bladder was full.
