The Rise of Otaku
Chapter 60 Brigand Cave

Chapter 60 Brigand Cave

The advantage of Big Yellow was, that it had rich experience in actual combat, while Diandian had solid foundations. Both of them were equal in strength, so the confrontation became quite exciting. Wing Flapping, Flying Kicking and Pecking on the cockscombs, they were almost equal in agility and fighting technique as well. So the only way to determine the winner was probably their endurance level.

At this moment, the advantages of having solid foundations began to show its effect. One month’s intensive training greatly improved Diandian’s endurance. Thus long-term combat was not a problem at all. Although Big Yellow’s offensive was fierce, it was lack of stamina. After all kinds of wing slapping and flying kicking, and when it noticed that it still couldn’t defeat Diandian, it began to get anxious.

The moment when the winner was determined was, that after a mutual flying attack, Big Yellow staggered when it landed, Diandian took the opportunity to launch a continuous attack. Gradually Big Yellow was not able to withstand Diandian’s attack. It flapped its wings and retreated in an attempt to recover itself slightly. However, it was too late.

Diandian saw the opportunity and jumped on the back of Big Yellow. The cockscomb of Big Yellow, that looked like a crown, was bitten by Diandian. And there were no signs of Diandian wanting to let loose of it. Although Big Yellow was still shaking its body trying to get rid of Diandian. Unfortunately, the lack of strength made it unable to overturn the situation of the battle. In the loud cheers of children, the winner was announced Diandian. Even the Little Rat was also happy for Diandian.

However, it was at this moment, Diandian made an amazing move.

After defeating Big Yellow, and without Zhou Yu telling it what to do, it got down from Big Yellow and helped it to groom its messy feathers as if it wanted to express friendliness.

No arrogance in victory, no discouragement in defeat, it was such a great act of sportsmanship!

Even Mr. Hu also couldn’t help applauding. Although he did not understand why a chicken could make such an human-like act, such a result was the best way to educate children. It was truly educational.

The children also constantly clapped their hands while shouting compliments such as “Diandian you are awesome!”, “Diandian you are the best!’ etc. And Diandian seemed to enjoy the compliments a lot. It jumped on a plum blossom pole and let out its victory crow.

It was not surprising to Zhou Yu that Diandian had this kind of manner. Because only he could hear Jack Mouse’s teaching. Apart from abnormal physical training, there were also various etiquette learnings for Diandian as well. At that time, Zhou Yu almost spat out the water in his mouth. Why on earth would someone want to teach chick etiquette? According to Jack, however, Knight’s Mounts were extremely noble creatures. A mount without etiquette was no different from a salted fish.

Therefore, Diandian was trained into Mount that knew how to fight and had good etiquette.

However, the training of a Knight’s Mount was far away from over. In the following days, in addition to increasing the training intensity, all kinds of obstacle runways would need to be put into use one by one, to ensure that combat effectiveness was maintained in different terrain. Only in this way would Diandian be qualified as a Knight’s Mount.

...........................

Unknowingly, winter vacation was coming. The students were busy preparing for the coming final exam, and the old house also gave Zhou Yu a lot of headaches. At the end of the semester, Dad would come home. And this time, it was with the entire family, including Mom, grandpa, and grandma. They were coming home to celebrate the Chinese new year.

In the past, he used to celebrate the Spring Festival in the city. Although the relationship between he and his family was still not well last year, he still went to the city to celebrate the Spring Festival. Despite that, he came back to the village in just a few days.

Although he had been living in the old house for more than a year, he almost did not clean it. Apart from the room he was living in, all other places in the house were basically the paradises for mice and spiders. Especially on the second floor, the wooden floor was severely rotten, and there were often all kinds of strange voices coming from the second floor. In short, Zhou Yu was afraid to go upstairs.

Last time, before his father left, he had told him that he had to tidy up the old man. He had thought about demolishing the old house directly to rebuild a new one. But later on, he found out that he did not have enough money for the luxury house, that was designed by carpenters. So he could only put that aside for a while. Then, he simply forgot it completely after that.

But he had no choice but to clean it now...

The clean-up campaign lasted three days. It was also the result of the help of Little Rat and his minions. If there was just Zhou Yu alone, who knows when he could finish it. Finally, checking the results, although it was not very neat, it was certainly better than what it had looked like before, which was like a haunted house.

Anyway, this would do. And now he just needed to wait for his parents and grandparents to come back.

Jack Mouse’s pub had become the favorite place for the villagers of Mini Luhua Village. All kinds of strange alcohol beverages that were produced by the brewery were sold here. It had become a fashionable trend in the village to have a drink in the pub when people were free. Without a barmaid, Jack had to serve everything himself.

Sadly, the pub still could not be opened to the outside world. All the basic functions had not been activated yet. So it could only be regarded as a public entertainment facility in the village. Unfortunately, this was something that Zhou Yu also did not have any solutions. There had been no new citizens of the ACG world appearing in the past month, let alone the employees that were suitable for the pub.

There were no portals connecting to the outside world, no maids serving the brave adventurers, no equipment merchants, no potion sellers, let alone the refiners, enchanters. It did not even have The Quest Agency... The only thing the pub could offer was to rent Mounts, but there was only one, and it was just a newbie Mount that just freshly graduated.

No wonder Jack would complain that such a good pub had become a retiree’s recreation center. Every day, people would play cards and mahjong here, or chat about the news in the village. Not once it had given out any quests to anyone.

Jack had been constantly nagging about the benefits of having the pub formally opened. He hoped that the landowner- Zhou Yu could try harder to replace people to work for the pub. Zhou Yu had played many games before. Of course, he knew that by opening a shop would help him to earn money quickly. But he was a little curious. Even if the pub was finally opened, and when adventurers came to the village, what monsters could they possibly kill? Could it be those small beasts? But those things were only useful to him. What did those adventurers need that for?

Then he received a strange building from the Gashapon machine.

Brigand Cave – Level 1 Dungeon, a gathering place of non-powerful Brigand gangs, does not have much treasure, but occasionally there would be some strange elite brigands wandering around here. It would respawn 24 hours after it was cleared. Having a statue of the Brigand King would reduce the respawning time by half.

“Pfff...” It turned out that this was the adventurers’ favorite type of dungeon – the reusable one.

This was a very elementary dungeon, but it was suitable for the newbie village. Seeing this hill-like building, Jack was very happy. He hoped that Zhou Yu would set it up as soon as possible. Although the portal was not activated yet, and the service was incomplete, you never know when some drifting adventurers would come here.

However, this request was unanimously rejected by the villagers of Mini Luhua Village. They did not want to see Brigands camp around the village. Fortunately, the layout of the flower greenhouse was like two concentric-squares. The whole sand table in the middle was Mini Luhua Village, and there were steel frames around the wall of the greenhouse. Originally they were reserved for the potted plants. However, since there weren’t that many farmers at the moment, there was no need to reserve such big space for it. He could use one small area to set up the Brigand cave.

Therefore in a corner, a hill was set up. On the front of the hill, there was a mini big hole with some scary skulls hanging on top of it. It indicated that this place was very dangerous.

Hmm... apart from being relatively small as a whole, Zhou Yu could not replace anything wrong with it.

Jack was originally an adventurer. More importantly, he was a veteran adventurer who could challenge a dragon. There was no problem for him to deal with a group fo low-level Brigands. So he planned to take Diandian to clear the Dongen.
