The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 1: dead house

Views:

Zhou Yu is not a good boy. After graduation, he stays at home every day and doesn't want to go out. He doesn't look for a job or a girlfriend. No matter how he looks at it, he looks like a waste. This caused the Zhou family's parents a lot of headaches. They tried all available methods, and even made the relationship a little stiff, but the child just refused to move.

I understand the truth, but Zhou Yu just doesn't like to go out to work. When I have no money, I write some novels on the Internet. Although it has never sold well, it’s better to just spend three melons and two dates. Anyway, I never go out and I don’t smoke or drink, so I don’t spend much money. The rest of the time is basically spent on animation and games.

Therefore, Zhou Yu is an otaku, basically he will not have any objections.

A celebrity in the Zhou family once wrote a poem in which Zhou Yu liked the line 'Hide in a small building to become a unified body, regardless of spring, summer and autumn and winter'. Now that the predecessors have said so, it is really unreasonable for future generations not to inherit this fine tradition.

However, staying at home and looking at each other is annoying, and in order not to make the family relationship worse, Zhou Yu decided to transfer the location of the house to his hometown in the countryside. Anyway, since my grandparents were taken to the city, there are no other people in my hometown, and it is very clean. Although this method is a bit ostrich, but what is not seen is what is seen, and the family that is already facing collapse has to brake suddenly on the edge of the cliff, although there is no sign of retreating.

Life in the countryside is indeed very leisurely, away from the hustle and bustle of carriages and horses, and no one will come to bother you. Sleeping until noon, writing articles and playing games, the day passed like this. It is the occasional power outage in summer, which annoys netizens.

In a flash, I have been in the country for nearly a year.

I find it funny to say that even though I have lived in my hometown for so long, I don’t even recognize the neighbors around me. The only ones I could count as familiar were Uncle Li, who was in the stewed meat business on the street, and the aunts at the vegetable stalls. After all, people can be silent, but they have to eat.

The daily food is not good, and even simple food and drink can survive. Just when Zhou Yu felt that his life might go on like this, an unexpected thing happened.

When I woke up, it was the perfect weather when the sun was in the sky and I smiled to myself. Feel for the glasses on the bedside, and after putting them on, you can continue to dominate the Internet. If you failed to level up yesterday, if you work hard today, you should get gold.

It's just that I didn't expect that after wearing glasses, the style of painting would be different immediately.

That's right, the style of painting is different. What was supposed to be a full 3D real world turned into a realistic painting style of the theatrical version of an animated movie. Simply put, the world is still this world, but everything has become a 2-dimensional picture.

Zhou Yu, who was originally very fond of the second dimension, carried forward Ye Gong's fine tradition of loving dragons at this time, and threw away his glasses yelling. Fortunately, he threw it on the bed, otherwise this good brother who has followed him for many years would be broken.

Without glasses, seeing things is naturally blurry, but everything is real. Real bed quilts, real walls, even the unfinished instant noodles last night are so real, but it smells a bit strange.

Is it the glasses

Touching the glasses a little hesitantly, it seems that nothing special happened, let alone transforming into King Kong screaming to conquer the earth. So he bravely picked it up with both hands, squinted his eyes and looked through the lens from a distance.

Sure enough, there is a 2-dimensional world over there.

Could it be said that wearing glasses for a long time also becomes fine? Or is it because I watched too many 2D things and got psychic

Puzzled, Zhou Yu took out a spare pair of glasses from the cabinet, and found that the reflections on its lenses also showed a 2D style. This doesn't make sense, because this spare pair of glasses was bought when I came to the country, and I haven't worn them once, so it is impossible for them to mutate.

Without glasses is a third-class disability, but if you wear them, you have to endure the strange style of painting. This is a very difficult multiple-choice question. After weighing it over and over again, he finally couldn't bear the pain of not being able to see clearly, and put on his glasses with a trace of Yi Shuihan's solemnity.

Into a 2-dimensional world, everything you see is novel. Especially when I brushed my teeth and saw myself in the mirror after 2D, it was actually Hayao Miyazaki's style of painting, and there was a feeling of rising in an instant.

After accepting this setting, I am not so afraid.

Although a surprise came as soon as he woke up, Zhou Yu didn't intend to change his life pattern. The first thing he did after washing his face with a toothbrush was still to turn on the computer.

The picture on the computer is normal, perhaps because it originally belongs to the 2D dimension, so the biggest problem is solved. Because if the painting style of the game I like changes drastically, it is really unacceptable, although there is actually no other way.

Code as usual, play games as usual, as usual... hungry.

Breakfast is generally not eaten, just eat two apples and you're done. By lunch time, other families were already preparing dinner. Look at the refrigerator, it's empty, and it's time to get dressed and go shopping for groceries.

The stewed meat shop is the most frequent one, and the owner, Uncle Li, is very attentive to this regular customer who rarely speaks, and when they meet, he shouts: "The third one?"

Every time he enters the store, Zhou Yu is used to buying roast duck, large intestines and chicken wings, and Uncle Li has already remembered them. But what he doesn't know is that in the eyes of the other party, he has become a middle-aged man with a beard and a temperament smoking a cigarette, and the power of the 2-dimensional is really extraordinary. If he hadn't lowered his head to confirm that it was Uncle Li through the gap in his glasses, Zhou Yu wouldn't have dared to agree.

After buying the stewed pork, go to the vegetable stand to buy some food, and buy some snacks in the supermarket. There are all kinds of big bags, which can roughly last for a few days.

There is a canal on the way home, and the scenery is not bad. Every time I walk by the canal, I slow down my pace, which is a rare way to get close to nature. It's summer now, and playful children like to swim here, but it won't be long before you see adults chasing people with sticks, and then screaming brats running away with their buttocks naked.

But today Zhou Yu was in no mood to look at the scenery, because a text message shining bright red suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air.

'There is a wild photographic lion ahead, please decide the countermeasure'

There are two options below the message, one is to escape and the other is to fight.

fighting? How to fight, and what to fight

Zhou Yu looked up puzzled, and saw a strange 2D creature bouncing in front of him. It looked like a cat, but it walked on two hind legs. Gray and white fur, with a peaked cap on his head, and a camera-like thing on his shoulder.

Whose cat is dressed like this

This is a rural area. Cats are kept to catch mice, not as pets. Who makes clothes for cats

He lowered his head strangely, wanting to see what this cat actually looks like, because the 2-dimensional painting style is always more exaggerated, otherwise Uncle Li would not have become a temperamental uncle.

However, the roads are empty. Not to mention cats, there is no dog.

Damn! Ghost!

Zhou Yu was taken aback, and immediately raised his head, only to see that the photography lion was still "scratching its head and posing" in front of it. Look down and see, what the hell is this thing? Because they couldn't figure out the situation, they stalemate for a long time without choosing whether to fight or run away. After a period of time, the photography lion coquettishly disappeared, no matter whether he lowered his head or raised his head, he was never seen again.

What an amazing day today...
