Abilities leveled up
Chapter 79 Abilities leveled up
Although it was only a few days away, it felt like he had been away from home for many years. And once he got home, he felt extremely comfortable from inside out... Everything in the yard was as usual as before. The villagers of the ACG world were still busy doing their own things. They didn’t need Zhou Yu to look after them at all. In fact, Zhou Yu was probably the most unreliable person in this yard.
When Zhou Yu got home, the fast-handed Wang also woke up slowly. He was shocked when he saw that there were so many people around him. However, he could not remember how he got here.
Originally, Zhou Yu thought that he needed some time to talk him round. But he didn’t expect that this fellow would quickly enter the villager’s state as if he was changed to a completely different person, he didn’t even remember that he had been refusing firmly to come to the village. This was probably the effect of the strongest talker. It was just like he had been completely brainwashed.
"Ha-ha-ha, I have already been accustomed to a free life. So I have a lot of bad habits. If I have offended the owner of this villa in any way, please forgive me."
The fast-hand Wang made a fist and palm salute, and then entered the comic studio that had been vacant for many days. The state of the comic studio was immediately changed from idle to working. Looking at the state of the fast-hand Wang, Zhou Yu finally got the clear information: Pu Wang, one of the best manga artists, likes riding and practicing martial arts, and does not like to be restrained or commanded to do things. No demand for a high salary, but if he feels the environment is not good, he will leave.
Unlike those people that were employed by the animation base, the fast handed Wang was free from any restrictions and he could decide whether to stay or not. This meant that Zhou Yu would not be able to order him to do anything. Especially because the fast handed Wang hated being restrained, so Zhou Yu couldn’t intervene in his manga drawing in the future.
This was not a problem for Zhou Yu. After all, Zhou Yu could only be considered a manga enthusiast, while the fast-hand Wang was one of the best manga artists. He had no ability to provide any guidance at all. Anyway, Zhou Yu decided to wait and see. Based on the speed of the knockoff comic studio, he estimated that the speed of the formal one would not be too slow. So whether he liked the new manga or not, he would be able to find out soon.
Despite all of that, he still looked forward to the day when he could see the original manga series.
Originally, Zhou Yu was also looking forward to the unidentified statue, but he didn’t expect that it was only a common manga artist statue, after it was appraised by the immortal crane. The comic studio that equips this statue would gain 5 points of drawing ability. Compared to the previous Wan Laiming statue, obviously, this one was not good.
But Zhou Yu was not very disappointed. After all, there were still many opportunities in the future.
The first night after he went home, he slept soundly. He just didn’t expect that when he got up early the next morning, he discovered some strange changes.
The eye of the ACG world was the ability to project the sceneries of the ACG world on his glasses, and at the same time, it was able to turn
The most intuitive change was that the view of the ACG world became much clearer as if the resolution was suddenly increased by 2-3 times in one breath. It instantly changed from a regular clear mode to the high definition mode. Zhou Yu did not know why there was a sudden change. The only thing he suspected was, that it might have something to do with the fast-handed Wang.
So… Inviting high-level citizens of the ACG world to join his village would level up his ability? Or was it because he had completely gathered the three major elements of the ACG world? Unable to figure it out, Zhou Yu decided not to think about it. Spending time studying a magical ability, that no one was able to explain? No thanks, he did not have time for that.
Walking into the yard, he still saw a group of brats playing in the yard. But interestingly, he was able to see their information. This should have been something that only happened to the things or the citizens of the ACG world, but Zhou Yu did not expect that after he leveled up his ability, he was even able to read real people’s information.
But there were still differences. Upon checking the information of the items of the ACG world, it would display very detailed information, while the real people would only appear a strange value – Otaku Power. Take Little Rat as an example. When Zhou Yu looked at his information, he would see his name, and then the display of his Otaku Power: 0.5, and the evaluation, "a very fulfilled person". If it was a stranger, the name would be a question mark, but the Otaku Power would still be displayed.
Not knowing what the Otaku Power meant, Zhou Yu took a look of his own information in the mirror. And then he found that his Otaku Power reached 7.8, and the evaluation was "the person who enjoys the ACG world".
Hmm… It seemed like the higher the Otaku Power was, the person was more obsessed with the ACG world.
After a long walk in the village, he found that almost no one in the village had more than 1 Otaku Power. It was actually quite understandable. Since many villagers were busy during the day time doing all kinds of farm work, they rarely watched animations or played games, so they would not be addicted to the ACG world. Maybe in the city, there would be a lot of people with high Otaku Power.
But what was the use of this ability? Even if he met someone who had 10 Otaku Power, at most, he would only admire them for a while. Could it be that there would be a competition for it? Probably the only use was to tell whether a stranger would have some common interests and topics with himself. However, in Luhua Village, strangers were very rare, so this only use was kind of useless here.
And the last new thing was the profession system. There were many professions. But it required a certain level of basic experience before he was allowed to transfer into other professions. Among Zhou Yu’s current basic experience, only fishing and catching small beasts could be transferred.
This was not very surprising, because every day he would go fishing, this had already become his daily task. Capturing small beast was also a necessary daily activity because developing games needed those cards. He did not plant vegetables or other potted plants often. After all, he was only responsible to spread the seeds into the soil, and then they would be taken care of by the farmers of the ACG world. Occasionally he would do some carpenter’s work, but never once had he done a stonemason’s work. In terms of training and raising Knight Mounts, he did not participate it fully, so he did not have any experience in those areas.
Finding the cormorant fisherman, who was in charge of the fisherman’s profession. 200 Moe Coins could help him to level up to the junior fisherman. Although they were all old acquaintances, it didn’t offer any discounts. And the higher the level of the profession was, the more expensive they would be. Moreover, later levels would need various transfer items. It seemed like it would take a long time to reach the top level.
But Zhou Yu had time.
The junior fisherman: shortens the time to get the fish on the hook by 10 seconds, a 5% probability to activate the fisherman’s skills.
The previous one was very useful, but this fisherman’s skills made Zhou Yu think for half a day, however, he still could not find out what the fisherman’s skill was. Eventually, the cormorant fisherman gave him the answer. The fisherman’s skills need to be discovered by himself. If he didn’t have any skills, this 5% would be useless.
Dammnit!
Then he went to the immortal crane to level up one more profession – the beast hunter. Originally, he thought that this profession would inexplicably increase his physical ability, such as transforming into a Superman or something. Unfortunately, this dream didn’t come true. But the beast hunter had an additional skill. It was that he could use the beast pot five times a day.
The beast pot was, in fact, a calabash bottle. It automatically appeared after he leveled up to beast hunter profession. And it was an object that could be seen using the eyes of reality. It was quite small that it could be hanged around the waist as decoration. But its function was more magical. It could activate a beast hunting space, he could also fight small beasts in there. Moreover, the small beasts in there were definitely rare or elite small beasts.
This skill was quite good. In that place, he would not need to worry about being seen by others when fighting with those small beasts. However, it was a shame that it could only be used five times a day. It meant that, if he needed regular beast cards in the future, he would still need to catch those small beasts in real life.
After getting familiar with the changes that were brought by leveling up the eyes of the ACG world, Zhou Yu eagerly arrived at the comic studio and waited for the birth of the first original manga series.
