The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 390: Starlight and Fallen

Now that the prelude to the war has begun, Zhou Yu must begin preparations for the war. The ACG's warfare was not a battle of force, but a battle of gaining TV audiences. For this, a large number of film and television works and various variety shows were needed to meet the needs of a TV station.

When the TV station had enough functions, it needed Radio Wave Superman to cover the area, and a city needed at least one Radio Wave Superman to spread information. What the King of Thieves said was that he wanted to create trouble for Radio Wave Superman. Although Radio Wave Supermen themselves were generally not easy to mess with, plus there would always be a group of guards around them, for the King of Thieves, unless he encountered Starlight knight regiments, there would be no problem for him to create troubles at all.

However, once the city was sealed, Luhua City would be inaccessible to the mini people. Zhou Yu didn't want to ask the King of Thieves to leave the city just to mess with Starlight City and Fallen City.

"Send a message to lady City, Luhua City will temporarily close for a while. In addition, take the declaration of war to Starlight City and Fallen City. Luhua City will no longer have a non-expansion policy. When I find a way out of this, or the construction of the TV station is completed, it will be the day of war!"

After the declaration was delivered to both sides. The city lord of Starlight City was still as cold and arrogant as always. In terms of the city lord of the Fallen City. He was actually an alluring pretty boy. After reading the declaration of war, he sneered: "Alas, my elder sister, you are still so indecisive. If you had listened to me, Luhua city would have already been eliminated, and we would've had this kind of trouble."

It turns out that the lord of Starlight City and the lord of Fallen City were siblings. It was just very strange why they would be so hostile toward each other. After all, they had such a close relationship. 

In Starlight City, the elder sister was still thinking about the moment when she broke up with her younger brother.

Once upon a time, the two siblings were the controllers of the ACG world, and there was no difference between starlight and fallen before, and everyone lived together in an orderly manner.

Then the rapid development of humans in the real world made the ACG world full of vitality, but because of this, many things that were rarely seen before, such as extreme violence and gore appeared. The ACG world was the projection of the real world, so these things naturally appeared in the ACG world as well. Erotic idols, bloody musicians, those kinds of people appeared all the time, and no matter how they tried to ban it, it just would not stop appearing.

In the past, at most, it was just some erotic pictures.

The elder sister couldn't accept these things, so she gave the order to get rid of those people. Anyone in the ACG world with those professions would all be arrested and forced to be reborn. At that time, the strictness of the ban was daunting, and it had almost reached the point where all the people in the entire ACG world were involved in the search for the people who had the slightest connections to those professions.

However, the younger brother came out during the ban. He held the view that since it existed it meant that it had its purpose, and since these professions were born, they should accept them. It was the humans of the real world who invented these things, and the people in the ACG world were merely the projection of their hearts, so they did not need to be restrained by morals.

Then, the quarrel between the siblings slowly began to escalate.

Facts have proved that no matter how strict the ban was, there would be people who were willing to take the risk. Agents in small towns continued to produce corrupted works, and because of their scarcity and novelty, many ACG world people liked these works and purchased them at high prices. Just like the real world, there were many who said that they were against those kinds of things, but once they returned home, actually, they started to watch those kinds of things in secret.

Then the number of supporters of the younger brother began to increase rapidly.

Eventually, the siblings officially broke up. The younger brother led his supporters to create the Fallen City and fight against Starlight City. At first, there was still a connection between Starlight and Fallen. After all, they were siblings, but as the elder sister's OCD became more and more severe, and the younger brother gradually became more obsessed with fallen works, The differences in opinions began to grow stronger, and the two finally began to attack each other's idols.

Fallen City began to transform starlight idols through criminals and extreme fans, and Starlight City also started to 'purify' fallen idols through the rebirth pool, the ACG world was no longer peaceful.

And Zhou Yu appeared during this kind of unrest, which made the situation even more complicated.

Back to the present, the time has finally come, the two giant demon statues simultaneously launched the cannon, and two violent rays of light shot out from the muzzle at the same time, exploding in the center of Luhua City, causing a huge spectacular nuclear-like mushroom cloud.

However, no one was harmed, all the little people in Luhua City were alive and well, but the surrounding environment was changing quietly. The ACG World force that blew out from the dimensional crack was all blocked in Luhua Village, and it could no longer be leaked to the outside world. Perhaps after a period of time, the little people carried by the people in the real world outside Luhua Village would disappear soon.

No tourist could enter Luhua City, no matter what kind of transportation tool they used, even the portal also could not work. It has completely turned into a city on an isolated island, and no visitors could come in. The commercial street that was originally prosperous now only had a few people walking around, forming a big contrast with the tourists in the real world.

But the people in Luhua City could go out.

If Zhou Yu could not give them enough work and a better living environment, they would choose to leave. And if they left, Luhua City would really become a ghost city, and would only be able to produce low-level animation games in the future.

But Zhou Yu has long been accustomed to high-quality works, so it would not be easy for him to get back to low-quality works again.

At the moment, Zhou Yu felt like he was playing a simulated city, and then he took over a city after a nuclear bomb had exploded. Everything had to be re-planned and redistributed.

Anyway, he decided to take a look at the remaining resources first.

The adult population is about 1,000, and the minor population is more than 600. There are 23 adventurous sites and dungeons that have been converted into food sources. Each food source requires 30 people to enter. Other populations could be arranged for some simple commercial activities, such as building a community supermarket to only serve the residents in Luhua City and provide daily necessities.

The overall unemployment rate was about 8%, which was not too big of a problem. The crisis would only break out when the unemployment rate exceeded 20%.

However, the placement of minors was a headache. The current Advanced Sky Knight Academy was full, and there were still more than 500 people who had not received professional education, which would cause big problems.

Therefore, the first step was to focus on education.
