The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 397: Lionheart Camp

The Lionheart Camp was actually an event, held every weekend, recruiting participants online, lasting two days and one night. The content of the activity was to participate in all the exciting games in the amusement park during the day, such as bungee jumping, dungeon adventure, and so on. At night, participants would spend the night in a dilapidated ruined hotel.

The most praised by tourists was this ruined hotel.

The ruined hotel was specially designed and built by Zhou Yu, and it was a building that looked like it could collapse at anything, but it was actually very safe. The hotel was built in an ancient building style, occupying a big area. In this hotel, there were various secret passages, and there were even some terrifying basements for lodging guests to explore and discover.

Regarding the night's activities, in addition to everyone gathering to watch horror movies, there was a classic game: The test of Courage Everyone gathered in a circle to draw the instruction signs from the draw pots, and one person or a couple would complete the tasks written on the instruction signs in the creepy ruins.

Of course, in the process, the amusement park staff would use their methods to scare tourists. Zhou Yu did even know how many girls were scared into crying by these people, and those who were waiting at the starting point would always tremble in the screams.

Zhou Yu also found it strange that normally this kind of place would not attract that many customers, however, unexpectedly, there were many people in pursuit of excitement, and the Lionheart camp was simply too popular. There were even many repeat customers just to experience this kind of horror.

In order not to make customers feel like it was a new experience every time, Zhou Fu also asked Zhou Yu to write multiple versions of the story for the ruins, which were changed every week. And the way to scare people also needed to change. For this reason, the park even trained some ghost costume designers to design new horror costumes, and tricks to scare people.

Today, in addition to the above programs, a brand new program Uncle Gui's Ghost Story was also added.

Participants in the Lionheart Camp, gathered in a small restaurant, listening to this broadcast while the chefs were preparing dinner. This program was a weekend entertainment section, and the length of the program was about half an hour. Uncle Gui would use his 'ghost whisperer' ability to tell ghost stories.

The ghost story of Uncle Gui was really scary.

Whether it was his tone, his storytelling speed, or his speaking technique, as long as he opened his mouth and started to tell the story slowly, a chilling feeling would slowly start to appear. When people finally reacted, they would already be covered with sweating. However, when people recalled it accidentally, there would still be some lingering fear.

According to uncle Gui, this was a storyteller technique that was passed down from ancient times, and it was the most deceptive. In the past, there were also wanderers who studied this technique specifically and finally made a name for themselves. Zhou Yu was not brave, and his friendship with Uncle Gui did not exceed 5 stars, so he didn't learn this skill.

With this program, soon Uncle Gui gained a bunch of fans who like horror stories because the people who participated in the Lionheart camp were almost all fascinated by the stories of Uncle Gui. The slightly hoarse tone and the horror stories that made people scream involuntarily some of them were completely obsessed with Uncle Gui.

And when the name of uncle Gui appeared on the Internet, the number of people who signed up for the Lionheart camp also increased rapidly. Zhou Fu was now considering changing the weekend-limited activities to twice a week.

Since the appearance of the radio program "The Daily Life of Luhua Village", Zhou Fu has started to pay attention to Uncle Gui, because his stand-up comedy is really excellent. At such a level, he could even open up a comedy center by himself and then became famous on TV. God knows why, this mysterious Uncle was willing to work for Boy Yu, and also dedicated these stories to the old people in Luhua Village.

Although he didn't know how much Boy Yu paid this person, Zhou Fu felt that at this level, he would have to at least double it.

Every day, Zhou Fu would have people record the broadcast. Because he felt that such a good comedic program was really a little waste to just broadcast it to the old people in Luhua Village to enjoy. And then, these audios became the favorite things of the anchors in the amusement park live streaming channel.

Uncle Gui's name was then spread out from this live streaming channel. Absolutely original funny jokes, coupled with that unparalleled ability to tell those jokes. Every time when the host of the live streaming channel played those jokes, the number of audiences would increase immediately.

And when the show "Uncle Gui's Ghost story" started, it became even more popular, especially for the night streaming host. Although many people would shiver constantly then listen to the show, they still couldn't stop themselves from listening to it. 

Luhua Village Radio Station immediately attracted countless fans as soon as it went live on the internet, and Zhou Fu naturally couldn't ignore it. Soon Uncle Gui's audio works were published, and the related products were also under development, and even the animation characters of Uncle Gui have also come out.

Because Zhou Yu made it clear that Uncle Gui would not appear in the public, so he could only use an animation character to replace it. However, surprisingly, Zhou Yu did not object to this, and it didn't take him to produce the portrait of Uncle Gui. The Chibi version of the lecherous Uncle Gui was actually also quite Moe.

"Boy Yu, the Lionheart Camp project was just started a year ago. Now that it seems to work well, it's time to expand it. Can you think of something? Like what the young people like nowadays, and hold an event, and let Mu Jiajia and the others participate as idols. It may be able to increase the popularity of the Lionheart Camp."

The idol group in the amusement park has not officially debuted yet, and the problem lies in the lack of a title song. Zhou Yu planned to make his own songs, but there is no good song available yet. Although Zhou Fu wanted to buy a song or just hire a composer, Zhou Yu refused.

The songs that Mu Jiajia and other idols sang in the small theater were all composed by Tan Xiuran, a composer he trained. Although it was also very popular amongst fans, it has not yet reached the level of the theme songs of the previous animation movies.

Because of this, Mu Jiajia and their debut were temporarily put on hold. However, although there was no official debut, there were still many performance opportunities. In addition to performances in the small theater, Mu Jiajia, and others also hold open-air performances in the amusement park, and occasionally hold some interactive activities with fans.

Since they are idols of amusement parks, when some businesses need to expand, they naturally need to use their influence. Zhou Yu was not willing to let outside program groups come in often, so Zhou Fu immediately thought of Mu Jiajia and others.

"Okay, isn't the werewolf killing popular now? We can have a live-action version of the werewolf killing party."

Zhou Fu didn't understand the world of young people, so he followed Zhou Yu's idea. Anyway, as long as he made the party a little more lively, and then let Mu Jiajia and the others be scared a little, then their fans would definitely be satisfied.

Hence, a new event would be held at the Lionheart Camp.
