The Rise of Otaku-Chapter 381 - Gourmet Scriptwriter
Not knowing if it was because of the dragon and the phoenix harmony, it rained all day in Luhua Village, so Zhou Yu was unwilling to leave the house. Although he clearly knew that this was the rain in the real world, and it had nothing to do with the “essence of Dragon and Phoenix” last night, as long as the two monsters haven’t “finished” their business in the sky, probably he would not be able to leave the house today.
Not being able to go out did not mean that there was nothing to do. On the contrary, the small room was crowded with people, and all his children were jumping everywhere as if they were going to vent all the frustration of not being able to go out.
In the beginning, Zhou Yu also turned into a small person and played with them, riding a little rabbit as a warhorse, hunting for treasures in his room. However, he soon discovered that this method was not good, because as soon as he lay down and ‘slept’ in the bed, the maid would come over to check once in a while, and if he didn’t wake up after a few calls, she would immediately run to call Lou Xiaobao.
They were all scared by the previous incident where he fell into the vegetative state, and even until now they would still be worried when they saw him lying in bed during the time he should get up from his bed, and they would always pull him up from the bed over and over again. This was the focus of the little maid’s daily work, especially in the days when she noticed that Zhou Yu wasn’t going out; she would be even more worried.
Helplessly, Zhou Yu could only get up and play on his computer.
Watching movies was also an interest of his children. Whenever he played a Hollywood blockbuster, they would just sit in front of the computer like an indoor version of a small movie theater. Just like the people in the real world were fascinated by the animation in the ACG world, the people in the ACG world also liked to see the movie from the real world.
This was a movie that combined live-action and animation, just like the movie “Alvin and the Chipmunks” series. With the combination of animation and real-world actors, it seemed to fit the taste of the residents of ACG a lot.
While they were watching the movie, Little Muli suddenly said, “I really want to make a movie with the people from the real world like this.”
Huh? It seems to be a good proposal.
Regarding making the movie that combined the real world and the ACG world, Luhua Village was probably the most perfect place in the world. Regardless of whether it was an ACG world idol or a real-world actor, there was no shortage of them in Luhua Village. As long as there was a suitable script, they could enter the shooting stage immediately.
However, the trouble was this script.
There were many storybooks in the warehouse, but they were all used for game production and were not compatible with animation production. Although it was possible for the screenwriter Hao Jing to make some adaptations from those scripts. However, the bigger problem lay in the stories themselves, which were basically not suitable for shooting using an amusement park as the background.
Making animation movies in the ACG world, Zhou Yu could use the scenery in the park, but in the real world? There was no way he would be able to put together such a large movie set. And there were definitely not enough movie sets as well. Although the real-world sci-fi movie shootings were also shot indoors, they could be post-processed by computer, but Zhou Yu’s studio did not have such a function.
Therefore, unless the script was based on an amusement park, he could only go to other places to shoot the movie. But with Zhou Yu’s temperament, this was basically impossible. Zhou Yu was terrified whenever he thought about going out with a group of idols, and then bringing many bodyguards and the relevant personnel along the way.
However, when Little Muli said that, he suddenly had a strong impulse of wanting to make it happen.
Speaking of the script, Zhou Yu could choose to become a scriptwriter in his profession options in the ACG world, but because the script level that made by him would definitely not be very good, so he didn’t choose that option. Originally, he thought he would eventually be able to find a scriptwriter, but he didn’t expect that there hasn’t been a scriptwriter citizen in Luhua City. It seemed that he could only do it himself.
The skill tree of a scriptwriter starts with a junior scriptwriter at the beginning. In a series of branch specializations such as ‘comedy, tragedy, science fiction, and horror’, at least 3 or more branches need to be lit up, and then he will be promoted to an intermediate scriptwriter. However, the branch specialization of the intermediate scriptwriter is a bit confusing.
The gourmet scriptwriter prepares a dish using special ingredients, and the final quality of the product will determine the level of the script. It requires planting and cooking skills.
The carpenter scriptwriter cultivates special plants and then crafts them into scripts in the end. The craft must be done independently. The prerequisites are planting and carpentry skills.
In addition, there are stonemason scriptwriters, electrician scriptwriters, etc., all of which can be found in the basic abilities options, covering agriculture, forestry, and animal husbandry in Luhua Village. However, it seemed that only one specialization could be selected, and the advanced scriptwriter was currently still in grey color, which meant that he could not be leveled up to that level.
Maybe the highest level that a city lord could reach was this level.
After thinking about it carefully, Zhou Yu finally decided to become a food scriptwriter, because, in all professions, the level of his cooking skills was the highest. Although he didn’t know how to make a script exactly, at least he was confident at his cooking skill, and it was more interesting than a wood carving, stone carving, or dealing with circuit boards.
Anyway, after eating the precious ‘fruit of professions’, he could now change his profession. This fruit was collected in the dungeon “Wonderful Forest” a long time ago. It has been stored in the warehouse for more than half a year, so he didn’t know if it had expired or not.
Fruit of professions can be eaten by ordinary people, and then get random professions of random ranks, but if a city lord eats them, the city lord can choose a profession and then level it up, and all the branches for a junior scriptwriter would be maxed out. After much thinking, although it was possible to have a high-level profession by feeding the fruit to an unemployed citizen, it was still much safer to eat it himself.
Mhm, the taste is okay, at least it hasn’t gone bad.
In this way, Zhou Yu became a gourmet scriptwriter. The strange thing was that there was no professional knowledge of script format or writing skills in his mind, but special ingredients such as ‘comedy leeks’, ‘sci-fi eggs’, and ‘horror pumpkins’.
Hmmm… Why do those ingredients sound so strange?
After he came to the little farm and checked the seed wholesale machine, there was actually a ‘script ingredient seeds section’, which had all kinds of strange ingredients. It seemed that if he wanted a good script, he must first plant the seeds first. Without the ingredients, there would be no script.
Not only the little farm, but there was also a new small shop that appeared on the small pasture due to Zhou Yu’s profession changes. The things sold in it were even more strange. There were sci-fi potions, which would give special Sci-fi effects to the eggs that were laid by the little pasture’s animals. Tragic fireworks, affect animal meat quality and increase tragic effects
Oh well, the combination of meat and vegetables should be able to make a good dish.
Clearing a piece of land in the little farm, Zhou Yu planted all the script ingredients, while the small pasture needed to be re-organized. Although it was forbidden to kill the animals in the small pasture, the eggs that were produced by the small pasture could be eaten, so the potions that could affect the eggs could be used directly, but the items that could affect the meat quality need to be used in other pastures.
So early in the next morning, Zhou Yu took a tragic firework and ran to other pastures.
With a bang, it was indeed a tragedy for the employees of the other pastures.
