Chapter 82: Cooperation

Chapter 82 Cooperation

Although brother Yu’s amusement park hadn’t opened, some naughty children had already sneaked in to see it. The water park was smaller than the water amusement parks in the city, but it had all the necessary equipment. However, it was not a problem for those kids. It was still very attractive to those kids.

Water slides, bumping boats, water balloons, water guns… No matter from which point of view, it was still much better than the river in front of brother Yu’s house.

Before, everyone had been discussing whether Brother Yu would still go fishing every day, so they could swim in the river during the summer vacation. The naughty kids from the nearby villages would also often come to swim in the river in the Luhua village. Now that as soon as the news about the water park came out, everyone immediately had the same target.

But there was one problem. Since it was an amusement park, there was always a fee.

It was not the winter vacation now. They could not get lucky money. Although they did not know how much Brother Yu would charge them, the average cost of using swimming pools in the city was more than a dozen Chinese Yuan each time, and no matter how cheap the village swimming pool was, it still wouldn’t be free. And if it would not be free, then, most kids would not be able to go to the amusement park. No one would be able to save the New Year’s lucky money to this day. It had either been confiscated by their parents or they had already spent it.

So where could they get the money?

Just when the students were having headaches for the entrance fee of the amusement park, an excellent opportunity fell upon them from the sky.

At the class meeting, the headteachers of each year announced that the students who scored the top ten of the year in their final exam, or the students who won the title of “Merit Student”, would be qualified as the visitors of the water park project in Little Paradise amusement park.

As soon as the headteachers announced it, the children instantly burst into cheers. This was the limited ticket for the amusement park. Although they needed to write some diaries, that would be the problem after getting the tickets. Now the question was, how to get to the top ten or become a “Merit Student”.

For the naughty kid like Little Rat, both of those two requirements were very difficult. But little rat had one advantage. It was that once he made up his mind, he would do all he could to achieve the goal. Although it was still one month and a half left, if he could spend all his time studying, he still had some chances.

Let the countdown begin! Add Oil!(Note)

For a while, the learning atmosphere of Luhua Primary School rose dramatically, and even those very naughty kids also had to pretend to study very hard, which made all the teachers very happy.

To be honest, some teachers also wanted to get those free visitor cards as well. After all, they also had two months’ summer vacations, if they got it, they could also enjoy the holiday atmosphere in the water park as well. It was said that there was also a real beach and a wave pool. It was very rare to see this kind of facility in a water park, even in the city.

That young man was truly a rich man. He gave out nearly seventy visitor cards without even frowning his brows. And although the teachers of the school did not get any free cards, they also received a 50% discount offer. Since it was just a trial opening, the fee was not that expensive, to begin with. Now that they also received another 50% discount, even if they were going to the park every day, it would not cost them much.

In return, Luhua Primary School also made great efforts to promote Little Paradise amusement park for Zhou Yu, and report his contribution to the town education department. Soon, Zhou Yu even received a few banners from the government.

On those banners, they were filled with compliments and encouragement from the local government officials. Although those banners had little economic value, it was still good for the display. They also found a reporter to report how Zhou Yu helped to increase the students’ interests in the study. But Zhou Yu didn’t care much about advertising this kind of thing, so he did not do it.

Even Bailu Middle School in the town also heard about this news. Many local high school students finally found out, that there was a water park recently opened in their hometown. Many of them even went to Luhua village to have a look personally.

For Luhua Village, this was a great thing. Seeing more and more people coming to his village, and hearing people complimenting the water park, the old village chief was almost laughing every day.

As the previous announcement mentioned, the hunter’s Doujin series was coming to an end. Readers could even see the indications in the chapters already. Although readers were reluctant, they could not do anything. They could only hope that the Imprisoned Taoist could release his original series as soon as possible. So they would have something to read.

And Today, the Imprisoned Taoist suddenly released the news that he had already started the original series “Assassin”, but considering the difficulties drawing the original series, it would not be possible to release every day. It was going to be one chapter a week.

For this statement, some rational readers expressed that it was acceptable, while others, who were accustomed to daily release, began to shout abuse every day.

But for Zhou Yu, whether they wanted to become followers or haters, it would not affect him much.

Zhou Yu had also decided which website he wanted to work with. It was Penguin Manga. As usual, he told them the requirement that his identity could not be disclosed, and he would not participate in any kind of promotional activity. Penguin Manga also could not force him to do any interviews. And most importantly, they were not allowed to contact him if it was not necessary.

All kinds of strange requirements made the people in Penguin Manga extremely confused. What was wrong with this manga artist named Zhou Yu? Was he a misanthrope? or He had a human phobia? Why did he strongly refuse to contact the outside world? Even the manuscript was fax only. And only after getting his consent could the people from the penguin Manga go to his home. Moreover, he did not want any editors to change anything on his manga.

If it weren’t for the fact that the hunter Doujin series was indeed very good, as a new manga artist, he would have already been kicked out by them.

The manuscript of Assassin, Liu Gongcai had also received it. Its world-setting was actually very close to the hunter. The difference was, that one was focused on physical capability, while the other was focused on using intelligence.

“Assassins with firmly held beliefs; killers, who kill for money; the thousands of years old resentment erupted in modern times.” This was the sentence at the beginning of the first chapter.

The characters’ designs were very impressive, the story narration was fine and smooth, the battle scenes were very tense and full of surprises, each step was like making a move on a chessboard, without waiting until the end, no one would know what the result would be.

‘It is a great manga!’

‘A truly gifted artist!’

Those were the editorial board’s comments. No wonder he would be so arrogant to ask not to change anything on his series. If they really needed to find someone to be the editor of this series, they needed to find someone who was equally talented as this artist.

Zhou Yu was by no means a Dragon Proud Sky(Note) . The truth of the matter was that even if they gave the advice, it would be useless. The comic studio would not change it at all. Instead, it would still continue to produce the manga series at its own pace. The fast-handed Wang himself was one of the best manga artists. Giving him some advice would be self-humiliating.

After many discussions, Zhou Yu was very resolute and did not give in at all. He even said that if they did not agree, he would simply publish Assassin for free. Having such an artist, who did not take earning money seriously, but his works were so perfect, that Penguin Manga could only accept the conditions completely and helplessly.

After signing the contract, “Assassin” officially joined in Penguin Manga.

As soon as Zhou Yu joined them, he immediately received the benefits as the top author of the site. The website also organized a small conference for Assassin as the first step of advertising.

The conference hall was very lively, but unfortunately, the mysterious “Imprisoned Taoist” did not show up. Even a photo of him was not given. Whenever a reporter mentioned this question, the people from Penguin Manga would laugh bitterly and avoid the topics. However, it made people wanted to know why even more.

‘Is there really a person, who doesn’t like to become famous in this world?’
