Chapter 202 Everything Is Ready

Edited by: Xelot

The news about Little Muli was going to appear again, soon spread on the internet. This mysterious girl quickly went viral on the Internet with a beautiful voice that was impossible to replicate, but she then disappeared without a trace, and no matter how hard her fans begged her to come out, she never showed her face again or say a word to her fans.

No one knew who little Muli was, there was not even a picture of her on the internet, there was only her moving voice. To hear the voice of little Muli again, fans could only wait for Zhou Yu’s next animated film. Even though they had waited for a very long time, they still have not heard anything from Zhou Yu.

Finally, there was news about little Muli, but it was about little Muli reappearing again as the hostess of an animated variety show.

What the hell is an animated variety show? If it is an animation, then all the plot and dialogue would be prepared by the scriptwriter, how is it a variety show?

Too many questions lingered around in the hearts of Muli’s fans.

However, this was just news, and it would take some time for the actual work to come out. Moreover, in a video released from the amusement park, people could see that Zhou Yu and his team were preparing a rather ‘scary’ film set, which also amazed a lot of people.

It was a two-story maze, with many small traps and strange rooms. To be able to produce such a huge film set, perhaps in this world, only Zhou Yu could do it. However, it was just a variety show. It wasn’t like they were really going to shoot it in the big sand table, couldn’t they draw it using computer technology? After all, Beidou and Qin Zhuan were pretty good at making 2D animation, there was no need for making such a large 3D film set.

Anyway, Zhou Yu truly deserved to be called a prop master. The film set he made was really good. It made many people look forward to the show.

The maze was done, the only thing left was to wait for Xia Huan to complete the promotion, financing, and the personnel recruitment in the ACG world. While waiting, the huge maze became a good place for the villagers of the ACG world to play, and a lot of people came to try it every day.

Since Zhou Yu hasn’t activated the survival mode yet, it was basically a matter of reviewing whether the traps in each room could work properly. At such a time, there must be no one present in the studio. Otherwise, people would be scared to death if they saw the traps and rooms in the maze suddenly started to move by themself. Especially the underground maze, which was originally designed to be full of a horror atmosphere. In the future, if he could build this project in the real world, it would definitely make a great haunted house.

Firefly’s physical strength was very good, so she was basically able to pass all the rooms that tested people’s physical strength, but when she encountered the rooms that tested people’s intelligence, she did not know what to do at all. Little Muli was very good at performing, but her physical strength was very lacking. The twin chef’s average abilities were pretty good, but unfortunately, Benben was too big, he could not get into the maze at all. It made him very upset. In the end, in order to comfort Benben, Kaka stayed with him as they watched other people playing inside the maze.

About a week later, Xia Huan brought good news.

“Old Zhou, we have already found a TV station in the ACG world, and the financing has also been successfully settled. I even heard that Zhang Quan of Nandou has smashed several vases already. This is so satisfying! By the way, I have brought the Maze Queen and the Ghost Master. They need to live in the maze. Have you finished the maze?”

Of course, the maze was already ready. At the moment, he was just waiting for Xia Huan to hire the monsters to live inside.

The maze queen is the master of the maze. She lives in the central room of the maze, acting as the final boss. Each day, she will produce enough maze monsters to automatically guard the corridors of the rooms and create all kinds of obstacles for adventurers. The ghost master has the same effect as the maze queen, except that all he produces are ghosts and can only live below the ground.

Of course, this is only a variety show, after all. So there won’t be any real danger, and only variety shows in the fallen city may be gory and violent, and may even contain some hentai elements.

After these two bosses entered the maze, the original lifeless maze suddenly became very lively.

Some maze creatures started to appear from the ground part of the maze. They all had their own specific areas to move around, and they did not intrude on each other’s territories. Some of them were setting up additional traps, while others were laying their own nests, which made the maze look like a monster’s lair and it gave off a very adventurous feeling.

The underground part was even more horrifying. It suddenly became very dim, and there were flickering ghost fireballs floating everywhere. There were all kinds of sudden eerie screams and spooky laughters, and with all kinds of looming ghosts, it was really creepy.

From the appearance of these ghosts, there were both western and eastern. Each of them had their own sound effects, and when they all appeared at the same time, it was like a legion of ghosts dancing in riotous revelry, it would only make people’s hair stand on end. Well, those were very good materials. In the future, when the haunted house project was completed, he could use them as reference materials.

Zhou Yu raised his thumb at Xia Huan and praised him. Not bad for the boss of a management company, the people he found were very good, “Old Xia, since everything is ready, when can we start shooting?”

“All right, I’ll come tomorrow with the film crew. But you have to understand that there will be all kinds of problems when shooting the variety show, especially that other companies will cause trouble.”

Zhou Yu still remembered the troubles that were caused by spies before. So he guessed that this time would be no exception. He just did not know whether the mysterious man underground and the hedgehog Rubin would help him again or not.

Hearing that Zhou Yu wanted to shoot a variety show, Mu Zi also wanted to express his opinions. After all, he was an influential figure in making the variety shows.

The parent-child reality show was almost over. He was very satisfied with the shooting of this season. The magical atmosphere of the fantasy city was indeed very characteristic. In particular, in the last magic battle, the regular laser simulation combat system was modified into a magical version. When the little celebrities waved their ‘magic wands’, while pointing at the designated location of ‘monsters’, it would trigger the “monsters” to emit a lot of colorful smoke. It was very entertaining.

The battle with the warrior team of Luhua village did not end well. The Celebrity Team lost all three battles. Whether their physical abilities, talents, or intelligence, the warrior team had shown the superior performance that the Celebrity team could not match. In particular, the brave spirits and unity that the warrior team had shown in the battle, have been a hot topic online.

Alas, the children of Luhua village could not be underestimated.

In the end, Mu Zi found Zhou Yu, hoping that he could give the celebrity team a little encouragement, and allow them to have their photos displayed in the hall of glory. However, this request was immediately rejected by Zhou Yu. It was the ironclad rule that only the winner would be displayed in the hall of glory. You have been beaten so badly, but you even have the audacity to ask your photos to be displayed there?

Although this was the principle, it was just a game after all. There was no need to be so serious.

This was how Zhou Fu tried to persuade Zhou Yu. After all, he still wanted to use the celebrity team to attract some more visitors. Yet, Zhou Yu, this kid just would not give in. In the end, he only gave the celebrity team the encouragement award, which was the wooden figures that Zhou Yu personally carved according to their appearances.

But that thing was just secondary. Now that Zhou Yu suddenly wanted to make a variety show, but he never even sought any advice from him, it made Mu Zi, who used to be very proud of himself, particularly sad.
