The Rise of Otaku Chapter 182 - not very satisfactory

Chapter 182 not very satisfactory

Edited by Esperanza

On the viewing platform, the villagers of mini Luhua village were also there. The cheer they made was no weaker than the others, but no one could hear them. After all, the village had been deserted for a long time, now that it could finally hold such a large event, of course, all the people from the village would all come to see it.

In addition, there were also quite a few tourists from the ACG world. The same as usual, after they visited some available entertainment projects, they would often complain that they did not receive perfect service. This was something that Zhou Yu couldn’t do much about because the amus.e.m.e.nt park of the ACG world was still in a very early stage, there was basically no service.

Because of this, Zhou Yu didn’t dare to charge the tourists of the ACG world Moe Coins, in case he brought more troubles.

The first event of the Olympics was the land regiment’s 400-meter Sprint. The host, Zhao Zan, still introduced the ‘runners’ on each track in a leisurely manner, and those, whose names were mentioned, would also flap their wings or stand up to greet the audience.

Each of the eight tracks had a runner standing on top of it, but there was no one guiding them. There was only one starter, who was preparing to give the starting signal.

The starter was a bit anxious. He probably had no similar experience before and did not know whether the animals could understand the instructions or not. It would be very awkward if after he shouted ‘ready, get set, go’, but all the animals didn’t move.

At the moment, it seemed that these strange animals were still very obedient, standing in their positions and not moving, as if they were really preparing for the race.

“Ready!”

“Get set!”

At the voice of the starter, the eight animals immediately struck a running pose, which rea.s.sured the starter that the little boss was not lying and that the animals really understood his instructions. As soon as the word “go!” was said, the animals instantly dashed out, all of them were running as fast as they could.

In fact, different kinds of animals, originally, could not be used in the same compet.i.tion. It would be much fairer if the same kind of animals partic.i.p.ated in the same compet.i.tion. But at the moment there were too few players to be able to put together in the same compet.i.tion, so at the moment, it was just a big Free-for-all compet.i.tion. Anyway, for the first game, the main thing was to let everyone see their real strength.

Of all the animal species that were currently partic.i.p.ating in the game, The rabbit was the fastest, the 400-meter sprint would only take them about half a minute. Even if it was Diandian, whose average abilities were the best amongst all the animals, it still could not defeat a rabbit in a running race. After all, a rabbit was a natural runner. Fortunately, there wasn’t a tortoise in the knight’s mount regiment, otherwise, the 400-meter run would take ages to complete.

For the audience, they would not care if the compet.i.tion was fair or not, as long as they could see the wonderful animal compet.i.tion, the outcome of the compet.i.tion was not very important for them.

Mu Zi was completely dumbfounded. Although he had often seen chickens, ducks, geese, and some other animals in their strange armors, in the amus.e.m.e.nt park, it never occurred to him that they had been trained as animal athletes. And, from this match, he could see that the training really worked.

Originally, he just thought that it might be a pig race and other ordinary ranch activities, he did not expect that this amus.e.m.e.nt park would have this kind of idea. It was a really good project, and it needed to be included in his TV program, so it could reflect a more fun and interesting aspect of the wild countryside life.

Just when he thought that this was the pinnacle of any type of animal training, the following games made him constantly reevaluate his understanding of animal training.

The obstacle race, those animals even knew how to get through the obstacles, instead of going around the obstacles or going below the obstacles. There were a lot of funny scenes in the long steep slope that spiraled upward in the final section of the obstacle race. Although the rabbit was the fastest runner, and it had almost completed the obstacle race, it accidentally slipped near the end of the race, and then slid down and s...o...b..lled all the other animals below it.

With so many cute and hard-working little animals partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion, and their funny mistakes, it really made all the kids in the viewing platform very happy.

About an hour later, the land games were over and it was switched to the flying regiment. At the moment, there was only one game for the flying regiment, it was moving b.a.l.l.s.

There were three colored b.a.l.l.s in a small bucket, and all the birds had to use their claws or beaks to pick up the ball and fly to the basket that was a similar color and put the ball in the basket. If the color of the ball and the basket were the same, they would score a point, but if the color did not match, they wouldn’t score any points. If there were birds that had the same score, the one that used the shortest time would be the winner.

Every time when a silly bird put the wrong ball into the wrong basket, the audience would always shout, ‘wrong, wrong, that’s the wrong color!’, “Oh my G.o.d, you silly bird.” etc. The whole scene was very lively and engaging.

After watching the game, Mu Zi was completely impressed. He said to Zhou Yu, who was in the same booth as him, “brother Zhou, I didn’t expect that your amus.e.m.e.nt park had such an interesting project. These animals’ performances are very impressive!”

However, Zhou Yu sighed, “the number is still too small. I can’t play a lot of the events that I prepared. It’s totally different from the sports event that I imagined. It’s really a shame. If there are more animal athletes next year, there will be even more games. At that time, it will definitely be more interesting than this.”

Indeed, without separating the animals, all kinds of games would just be free-for-all games. Moreover, many games couldn’t be launched because there weren’t enough athletes. For example the chicken knight’s mounts’ pumpkin pecking game, the duck knight’s mounts’ underwater catching fish game and so on. None of those were able to appear in this sports compet.i.tion. The first compet.i.tion was still too rushed. If he had a little more practice, he would have more compet.i.tive events.

But Mu Zi was already very satisfied and put forward an idea on the spot. He wanted to borrow a few animals and add them to the show. It would be much better to let the little celebrities choose an animal themselves, and see how well they would get along with each other.

“I can lend them to you, but I won’t join your program. You can talk to Zhou Qingshu. He has my red silk token. He can help you.”

Zhou Yu’s response killed Mu Zi’s secret plan. On the surface, he wanted to borrow the animals for the program, but in fact, he wanted the owner of those little animals to appear on the show. After all, many people were still curious about Zhou Yu. If he could appear on the show. The ratings of the show would increase.

Seeing that his little trick didn’t work, Mu Zi could only sigh and leave.

In Zhou Yu’s eyes, the first animal Olympics was not successful, because there were too many events he couldn’t see. Especially the mouse Jack and the squirrel Bubu, these two knights, also said that instead of saying this was a sports compet.i.tion, it was more like a Circus show.

Jack the mouse sighed, “the number of Knight’s mounts is too low and the breeding rate is so bad that at this rate it will be five or six years before there will be a real compet.i.tion.”

The squirrel Bubu was also not satisfied, “it’s a shame that there are not enough knights, and most mounts could not show their full strength. Otherwise, they can play “flyball”, that way, even if they are different races, they can still have fun.”

Flyball is an ACG world compet.i.tion, in which knights would control the mounts to break through the other team’s defenses and bring or kick the ball to the scoring area. It was quite similar to football, but this one had Knight’s mounts and it was played in the sky.

It was a good idea, but knights were very hard to find. There were dozens of mounts at the moment, but only three and a half knights, including the king of thieves, and Firefly could only be considered as half a knight.

Anyway, Zhou Yu still had to wait, but eventually, he would have more knights.
