Chapter 51 The Brewery

The works of The ACG World seemed to be very efficient. After the filming crew left about a week, Zhou Yu received a letter from Xia Huan. “Young Memories” had been acquired by a TV station, and Beidou company was finally saved from the bankruptcy.

For the help of Zhou Yu, Xia Huan was very grateful. He also attached 2000 Moe Coins, as a way to thank him for the hard work he had contributed to the film. At the same time, he also said that his company would be fully committed to make Li Weinian a superstar. Even if the company could recruit more high-quality idols in the future, his company would still take care of Li Weinian.

This was all Zhou Yu needed. He just hoped that Little Niannian would live better over there.

Over Otaku gaming portal, a new online game advertisement appeared quietly on the homepage. The slogan of the advertisement was “The taste of soybean pudding is up to you to decide.”

After clicking the ads, people would see a montage of the gameplay video, there was even a short CG mixed in.

“The War Of Soybean Pudding, come and choose your party! The sweet party and The salty party, let’s upgrade the argument into a real battle. For the taste of soybean pudding, please draw your sword!”

Air combat, naval warfare, ground warfare, it seemed very good just by looking at the gameplay montage. Coupled with the hilarious setting of the game, the people who were interested in it was rapidly increasing. And when people saw the development team was actually the best team of last month, the number of people, who followed the game, became even more.

It was a shame that the real closed beta was one month later. Now it was just an advertising period.

The first batch of the closed beta test keys was given away very quickly. It proved that the popularity of the Taoist’s development team did not reduce any. It also seemed like players were not too against the idea that the Taoist’s team was making online games. So the prospect of this online game was worth looking forward to. Gao Shu, whose confidence was greatly boosted, decided to increase publicity and make the Taoist team become popular on both the off-line gaming circle and the online gaming circle.

Since the first time Lu Hansheng saw “The Flame Mountain” – the sequel of the “Havoc In Heaven” on the Internet, he had been obsessed with it. He had repeatedly urged his student Tielin to find the producer of the movie as soon as possible. However, after such a long time, there was still no news about it.

It was not that Tielin did not work hard, but that there was no contact information of the production company in the movie – “The Flame Mountain”, and he was not familiar with any of the members that appeared on the credit list. There were so many people in the country, and countless people had similar names. It would require too much work if he needed to check every single one of them one by one.

Tracing back to the original source, no one knew the source of that film except that uploader – ‘The Taoist that hits airplanes’.

Helplessly, he went back to the site to look for ‘The Taoist that hits airplanes’. However, after the ID was reported, that uploader seemed to have disappeared. It did not seem to upload anything onto the video-sharing website. And no matter how Lu Hansheng contacted the uploader, there was no response from the uploader at all.

This exquisite movie – “The Flame Mountain” seemed to become a mystery that could never be solved.

Zhou Yu was very annoyed right now, the reason was that there were a lot of mini buildings in the yard. After finishing filming the TV drama, the crew also left, leaving a whole set of filming props that Zhou Yu did not even know how to deal with them. The mini-school, plus a commercial street and a residential area. Leaving them in the yard always seemed a little bit unsightly.

They were too big, the flower greenhouse couldn’t fit them. Besides, they were not some buildings that would provide special effects. Therefore, there was no need to move them into the greenhouse. Children seemed to like them very much. After they were allowed to touch them, they showed up in Zhou Yu’s yard and stayed all day. The one that had the most fun was Little Rat. Two days ago, Zhou Yu even saw him brought a camera over, and then played Ultraman VS. Little Monster in the mini-building complex.

The photographs that were taken during the play indeed gave people a feeling of The Ultraman series. However, the costumes for little monsters were very unprofessional. They just used kids’ animal costumes, such as lions and tigers, etc.

Zhou Yu had thought about filming a live-action Attack On Titan and then destroyed all those buildings during the filming process once for all. However, this proposal was rejected by all the children. Even Little Rat felt that it would be a shame that such a beautiful school was destroyed.

Without actors, the plan for filming the live-action Attack On Titan was quickly dropped.

Hearing Zhou Yu was having difficulties to deal with some ‘garbages’, Li Hansheng came over to his house specially, after the completion of Zhou Fu’s new house. Before, he wanted to buy the building models such as the Taoist temple from Zhou Yu. However, he was rejected resolutely by him. Now that he had an opportunity, there was no way that he would allow himself to miss it.

Taking a closer look, it was a complete set of school sand table with perfect design and great details. It could completely be used as a display sample in his company’s exhibition hall. It was luxury, impressive, and classy.

Without any negotiation, he just paid him the money, took the models and left straightaway.

All of a sudden, the yard became clear and refreshing.

Having nothing to do, Zhou Yu went fishing by the river as usual. He could still see the third dragon prince floating on the river like a dead body. Having accustomed to the sea with strong winds and waves, this calm river was not interesting to him at all. He could only float dispiritedly along with the slow water all day. All his dragon’s imposing manner was gone. Although he had collected a lot of shrimps and crabs as his minions, he was still not happy.

It was a long-standing thing that the third dragon prince was dissatisfied with the environment. Especially recently, he had been constantly mumbling that he missed the days of surfing in the sea. However, Zhou Yu really couldn’t do anything about it. After all, making a sea, this kind of thing, he had never heard of before. If this chubby dragon really couldn’t stand it, he would probably need to find some time to take a trip to the beach with him.

With the current condition, he could only create a few wooden warships for him, and then let him and his minions play the bumper boat game in the river. Looking at them bumping into each other and having a great time in the water, Zhou Yu thought that it would only temporarily solve the issue.

When it comes to dissatisfaction with the environment, the old drunkard would definitely be ranked top. Half a month had passed already, however, he still couldn’t see the shadow of a brewery. Although he was still being served with one bottle of red wine every day, this boss was clearly not happy at all. He was complaining that there was no smell of alcohols in the air.

‘The smell of my ass in the air, he thinks this is the alcohol paradise or something? In the neighboring village, he could even live with the cheapest alcohol – beer, every day. Now that he is having red wines every day, but he is still complaining about it? He is such a fussy man.’

However, this matter could not be rushed. The vending machine could only refresh 10 houses every day, and everything would depend on probability. Zhou Yu had already prepared enough Moe Coins. With 2000 Moe Coins that Beidou company gave to him, it was more than enough to build a brewery, and the rest could only depend on luck.

After fishing and in the urging and complaints of the old drunkard, Zhou Yu went back to check the vending machine.

‘Hey, today’s luck is not bad. The brewery has finally come out.’

As usual, he handed the blueprint, that he had bought, to the carpenter beaver and the stonemason monkey. The cost of hiring both people was increased by 50%, but the money he spent was worth it. The construction time was reduced half, and the quality of the building was definitely better than before.

On the next day, the ‘industrial zone’ of Mini Luhua Village had a new building – The Brewery. However, upon the completion of the brewery, the status of the brewery instantly showed, “Inoperative”. The reason was very simple. There were no raw materials.

Luhua Village had areas to fish and areas to grow flowers, even the ores were also piled up. The only thing that was missing, was farming. The hoes, that Zhou Yu currently owned, were flower hoe and medicinal hoe. They could be used to raise the flower seed or collect medicinal herbs. However, they did not have the function of growing crops. Besides, so far Zhou Yu had not received any crops’ seeds. So he had always thought that there was no such thing as farming in The ACG World.

However, it seemed like there was a farming system as well. He just hadn’t activated it yet.
