The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 130 The Twin Cooks

According to Xia Huan, there were so many activities around the world in the ACG world, and there were even weirder local festivals. As an idol, Muli needed to participate in such activities and festivals to accumulate popularity, which was the normal operation of any management company.

However, Luhua village was not a management company, so there was no need for Zhou Yu to do this, and he could save a lot of unnecessary troubles. However, there would still be some important occasions where the attendance was inevitable, such as the annual idol contest, the biggest award ceremony – Star Light award ceremony, and so on.

Although little Muli’s achievement was not enough to win any awards, as a member of the idol alliance, it was impossible not to attend these events.

Xia Huan was aware that Zhou Yu was not a fan of such activities, but he still advised, “don’t worry, even if you add up all the times, that you need to spend on all these events, it will only last for a few days at most. Mostly it is very quiet. Besides, if the event is very near, you can ask Firefly to take some bodyguards to protect Muli, they can attend by themselves.”

Actually attending all sorts of grand ceremonies of the ACG world could also be a quite interesting experience. Plus the ceremony such as the Star Light award ceremony would also invite directors like Yang kuai, and artists like The Fast-handed Wang. With a group of people attending the event together, at least, Zhou Yu wouldn’t have the fear of walking alone in a strange city.

The people in the idol alliance office would inform the time of the large-scale activities. Fortunately, often those events would not be hosted during the Spring Festival, otherwise, it would be really difficult to find spare time.

In terms of the rest, it would not be problems for Zhou Yu. The idol alliance’s daily tasks were very easy to do. It was basically a variety of daily training tasks to avoid the decreasing of idols’ attributes. These training facilities, Mini Luhua village also had them, so just by spending a little money, they could be easily completed.

If he was lucky, he might be even able to get a show notice. It meant that Star Light city television stations would invite little Muli to participate in the production of some entertainment shows. Participating in this kind of show would not only give Zhou Yu Moe Coins, but Zhou Yu would also be able to get some strange prizes from the show occasionally. But Zhou Yu needed to use the portal to directly send Muli to Star Light city. In this case, he himself could not accompany little Muli. Therefore, having bodyguards was very necessary.

When Zhou Yu was checking today’s daily tasks in the idol alliance office, Firefly hurriedly rushed towards him, on the back of General, while having an anxious expression on her face.

While running, she also shouted, “old man, something bad happened! My two unlucky younger brothers are just like two crazy people, they are hitting anyone they see!”

‘Two unlucky younger brothers?’

Zhou Yu was puzzled, Firefly was the third child of his, she only had a little sister Muli. Since when did she have younger brothers?

All of sudden, he realized what she meant. Magical Stone Refining factory has been refining mineral elements non-stop since it was built. Zhou Yu had asked Uncle Guan Er to pay attention to it. As long as the mineral elements were produced, he could feed the foodie flower with those mineral elements immediately. So it should be the foodie flower.

But that was just one flower. He still had not found the Fallen tears yet. Unless... The icy flower had a premature birth?

Rushing home quickly, he saw the icy flower in the fridge was still a flower bud, but the foodie flower on the balcony had already bloomed brilliantly. One half a meter tall very strange robot was guarding next to the foodie flower. If anyone wanted to approach it, it would instantly react violently, like a frightened animal.

The “poor little one” didn’t get to see its ‘parents’ when it was born. The first person it saw was Firefly this bratty girl. Then this bratty girl immediately wanted to show off an older sister’s awe-inspiring authority, the result was that a fight instantly broke out on the spot. Surprisingly, during the flight, Firefly was clearly losing. That was why she went to look for Zhou Yu.

“Just one? didn’t you say that there were two? Where’s the other one?”

Indeed, he didn’t see the second one, even though he checked everywhere. Could it be, that it felt unsafe and then ran away? Although Zhou Yu did not think that there would be human traffickers in the ACG world, it was still his child, he couldn’t just leave it outside.

Firefly’s eyes immediately lit up and answered, “old man, they are all here! Uncle Guan Er told me that my younger brothers were going to be born soon, so I came here to wait. Holy shit, that big flower just spat out two younger brothers. One is very ordinary and very tiny, and the other is very big and dumb, but he can transform, like a transformer.”

‘Oh, so it is twins. No wonder it could eat so much. After all, there were two kids inside.’

The small one was currently hiding inside the big one’s stomach, forming a half a meter’s high robot he saw. After being frightened by Firefly, it became even more aggressive and less peaceful than others.

Zhou Yu slightly patted Firefly’s head as a punishment for her inappropriate behavior. Then he tried to clam down the two kids.

Perhaps it was Zhou Yu’s smell that made the little one relaxed. After a while of soothing, the robot finally stopped reacting violently. And then after a series of mechanical sounds, the two little ones returned to their original appearances. Sniffing Zhou Yu’s palm for a few times, they eventually recognized that Zhou Yu was their father.

All the time, the strange seeds had been giving him human children, and after the foodie flower mutated, the races of the children inside the flower seemed to have also changed.

Hamster Kaka, this one is very small, only about 10 centimeters, shorter than the normal people of the ACG world, but it is the older brother in the twins. But he is shrewd and eloquent, a little like the squirrel Bubu, and fond of pranks.

Panda Benben, this one is about half a meter tall, and an absolute Chonker, the younger brother in the twins. A genuine honest kid, who does not seem like it likes to talk, and the strangest thing about it, is that it is made of an unknown metal. Its body is shiny all over the place, a bit like Alfonso (Note).

These two brothers were really something else, one was weirder than the other.

“Benben, Kaka what are your abilities? Or what kind of training do you need?”

The ??? seed was still showing question marks, and the flower didn’t produce any manuals, so Zhou Yu could only ask the two children directly.

Benben did not seem to want to talk, but Kaka said, “I am a cook, and he is a cooker. We two are the best chefs in the world! Without any training, we can still make the best food in the world!”

Twin chefs

Having a chef is a good thing. In the future, Mini Luhua village can finally have their own chefs to prepare dishes in parties. But what is the meaning of a cooker? Judging from Benben’s body shape and appearance, could it be an oven?

Looking at daddy’s puzzled look, plus Kaka also wanted to show off his skill to everyone, so he asked daddy to pick some vegetables from the garden, and then started a cooking show in front of everyone.

Then Zhou Yu saw Benben started to emit steams like a steam engine, and then it began to transform. After a series of mechanical noises, he turned into a mobile kitchen van, that had many kinds of cooking equipment.

Transformer chef!

Then it was time for a cooking show. The two brothers cooperated tacitly, steaming, frying, baking, etc. All kinds of cooking methods were used. Soon, many delicious looking dishes were served in front of Zhou Yu.

Although it was still too early to say that the dishes would definitely taste good, this cooking process really amazed Zhou Yu. In particular, Benben this chonker, what else could it transform into?
