The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 372 - Soybean Pudding Military Hall

Chapter 372: Chapter 372: Soybean Pudding Military Hall

After Yuanyuan’s childlike innocence was evoked by Zhou Yu, she loved this novel toy a lot. Putting the tank in the yard while sitting in the corridor, she was playing with the remote control and having a lot of fun.

“Brother Yu, how about you control another tank and play with me? It gets boring very quickly if I am playing it alone.”

Playing it with other people was definitely much more interesting than playing it alone. Zhou Yu saw that Yuanyuan was almost familiar with the control, so he clapped his hands and got up and said, “Let’s go, follow me to the ‘battlefield’, there would be more people playing with you!”

The battlefield mentioned by Zhou Yu was actually just a hall that had been built in Fantasy City. There were five simulated battlefields in this hall, which were like battlefield sandboxes. Each of the four corners had a small battlefield that was available for 5v5, while the cruciform battlefield in the center could accommodate twenty tanks to fight easily.

There was different terrain on the battlefield and mini forests and mountains, and there were even man-made small rivers, which looked amazing. Except for the central battlefield, the rest of the battlefields were made by Wu Yun and her students, which could be considered to be a test for them. But now it seemed like they had done a quite good job, and they were able to work independently now.

This area was requested by Zhou Yu after the appearance of the remotely controlled aircraft carrier, with the goal of making a live-action version of shooting games. However, like the paintball games, it required to be approved by the government before they could open it to the public. Anyway, all the procedures were handled by Zhou Fu, and it had just been approved by the government recently.

Moreover, it was the summer vacation now, and it was the time when the park had the most children compared to other seasons. But today was not the opening day, and this venue would be officially opened three days later. At that time, Zhou Yu would personally demonstrate how to play this game to the other children.

At the moment, Little Rat was fighting fiercely with other brats fiercely on the battlefield.

“Mu Tou, Hurry up and climb the mountain!”

“Da Shan, can’t you take down that sniper tank? He has already taken down two of our tanks!”

Little Rat was very excited when playing the game. They were originally sitting on a special chair, so they could easily hold the remote control to play, and not get tired easily. After all, with a display screen installed on the remote control, and the remote control itself was also a bit heavy, so normally children would not be able to hold it for a very long time. Anyway, there was a camera screen, so even if they did not stand up to watch the battlefield, they could still play the game.

However, Little Rat was so excited that he stood up from the chair and was running around the battlefield. Moreover, he did not stop shouting for a single second as if he had endless energy.

Those kids were selected to play with him on the day of the opening. Yuanyuan could also join them if she wanted to. That was why they were currently playing here.

It was naturally impossible for Soybean pudding Cannonball to cause damage to the tank model, but there was a damage meter on the display. After reaching a certain level, it would automatically stop moving. After the “death”, someone would use a special tool to take out the tank from the scene, reload and check the tank, and then put them back on the battlefield again.

There were currently two battlefield modes. The first one was to defend the base or wipe out the enemy to collect points, and the one that scored the most points in a fixed time would win the battle. The other one was to kill all the enemy, and the last standing one would be the winner.

After playing for a morning, Little Rat and other kids have already understood some of the essential rules. Moreover, they were also familiar with the remote control now, and no longer made silly mistakes like bumping into a wall or turning a tank upside down.

Seeing so many people, Yuanyuan also joined the battle happily. Occasionally, there would be stray bullets shot out from the battlefield, and smokes to increase the realistic battlefield feeling. Those were randomly generated by the hidden mechanism of the battlefield, and those bullets were not powerful at all. But the noises created by them would often startle players from time to time.

Such activity was novel and interesting, apart from this amusement park, no one else would have this kind of game, so Zhou Fu was very confident that this Military Hall would be a success. The biggest problem was that Zhou Yu said that this thing could not be repaired by others, and all the damaged tanks could only be handed over to him. It made Zhou Fu wonder if Zhou Yu would be able to handle the workload.

But later when he thought about it again, since he had nothing to do, keeping him busy was also a good thing.

At the opening ceremony three days later, the hyped-up tourists were finally able to see what the live-action tank war looked like.

But before they could get into the venue, the first thing they saw were many cosplayers, who dressed up as characters in the game the war of soybean pudding. It made them feel like they were attending a cosplay convention. After all, the amusement park has gradually become a base camp for ACG enthusiasts, and every time there was a big activity, many cosplayers would gather here. Since this new project was named after “The war of the soybean pudding”, all the cosplayers naturally knew what to wear.

The five battlefields were very realistic, perfectly representing the model-making ability of the Zhou Yu. However, the tanks that everyone wanted to see the most haven’t appeared yet.

From the viral video of the remotely controlled aircraft carrier some time ago, it could be seen that it was definitely not difficult for the Emperor to build a remotely controlled tank, but everyone was still a bit confused. If he wanted to make it into a game, how would the damage be calculated? Could it be that there were referees on the side keeping eyes on the tanks on the battlefields, and once a tank was hit, they would declare that the tank was destroyed? If this was the case, although it could be played, it would make people feel that it lacked realism

But soon, everyone’s confusion was solved.

This time it was the great Emperor Zhou Yu, who was going to give an explanation in person. He was holding a blue tank, and the picture on the display was transmitted to a big screen in the middle, so everyone could see it clearly. And this viewing angle could be magnified, from 2 times to 8 times, and different tanks would have different magnifications.

He was truly a model emperor, the models that were made by him were flawless.

“All tanks have weak spots. If players can hit the weak spots, the damage will be increased. On the contrary, if the areas such as frontal armor are hit, the damage will be reduced, and if it is a ricochet, it will not be counted as damage.”

There were big TVs facing four sides above each battlefield, which showed the score of the current battle, and players could directly see the current situation from there.

After the explanation was over, it was the demonstration game. After all, a picture was worth a thousand words and a demonstration game was better than any verbal explanation. The salty party led by Zhou Yu was the blue party, and the sweet party led by Yuanyuan was the white party, and they were going to have a showdown here.

Before, when playing with the remotely controlled aircraft carrier, the children were wearing navy uniforms, but now they all put on army uniforms, but they still looked very cute. Moreover, the distribution of strength was relatively balanced. After three days of practice, Zhou Yu more or less knew how good each kid was at playing this game, so he tried to make the match as balanced as possible, and as exciting as possible.

However, in fact, Zhou Yu arranged for Little Rat and other kids who were good at this game to team up with Yuanyuan, and secretly told him to protect Yuanyuan. Even if she may not be able to survive until the end of the match, he wanted her to have as much fun as possible. It was also the same for the blue team. At least, the kids in the blue team should not kill Yuanyuan first.

This could be considered a special treatment for her.
