Chapter 102 Doxing

When the vegetables in Zhou Yu’s small farm gradually became mature in large quantities, other employees would also occasionally be able to eat the vegetables, that were planted by the little boss. And without any surprises, it received much positive feedback.

Gradually, whenever there were Little boss’ vegetables in the canteen, the staff’s enthusiasm for eating would be particularly high, and the competition of getting the food, that was made of little boss’ vegetables, became more and more intense.

Having a boss, who would grow vegetables for employees to eat, it already had a special meaning in it. Coupled with that the vegetables were indeed really delicious, it was normal to become popular. Those dishes were commonly called “Boss dish” by the employees of the park. It was so popular that it made the chubby chef Li very confused.

Speaking of the vegetables that were served in the staff canteen, no one would say that the grandpa Husan’s vegetables were bad. It was also naturally grown without pesticides. But why was there such a big difference? Was it because it was the new vegetables, that the little boss got from somewhere else?

No one really knew why.

Now that the amusement park had no other projects open, except for some old people playing chess in the park, basically, there was no one in there. Some strange journalists often wanted to come in for interviews, but they were either blocked outside or referred to Zhou Fu. As for interviewing Zhou Yu, not a chance.

Oh well, no one could really blame them. Since the movie “Fruit Pirate” went viral before it was actually released. The trailer and the test screening footage were so popular that they were constantly shared by all major media platforms. It had even been labeled as “the best-animated movie in China”.

For a period of time, there were various kinds of discussions regarding the questions about who were the mysterious members of Beidou Studio and where did they come from?

Amongst the only three people who reporters could find, two girls who made the trailers had no remarkable background. They were only college students. Besides, they were not considered as the formal members of the studio, so there wasn’t much information they could dig.

As for Zhou Yu, the person who shot the real-world scenes of the movie, he seemed very interesting. He had an extraordinary carpenter skill, although he was a little bit “ruthless”. To make a movie, he must have destroyed at least a few fleets full of ship models. It made those ship models enthusiasts both loved him and hated him.

In addition to these three people, in a long list of staff members, unexpectedly, they could not find a familiar name. From the voice acting team to the production team, it was clear that every single one of them was a top talent artist, but it seemed that no one had heard of any one of them before. If it weren’t for the names of those people, were all Chinese names, people would have thought that it was a foreign studio.

It was thought that Beidou studio would eventually appear when the release date was confirmed. However, when the press conference was held, the announcements made by the two companies, Penguin and the Otaku Gaming portal stated that Beidou studio did not intend to reveal their Identities, so they would not participate in promotional activities.

When this announcement was released, it suddenly caused a commotion in the ACG communities.

Was it a new trend to play hide-and-seek in the ACG industries recently? The manga artist – the imprisoned Taoist and the game developer – the Brothel Taoist were known for keeping their identities as secrets. So far, still no one knew their real Identities. Now that there was a genius team to fill the gap, the ACG circle was finally complete.

The only pity thing was that it wasn’t a Taoist. Otherwise, it would be perfect.

Seeking “truth” had always been the favorite thing for netizens, but the investigation of the two Taoists had failed greatly. But this time, the “investigation” of Beidou was bound to make a beautiful turnaround.

Therefore, more and more people went to Luhua Village. Amongst those people, some of them admired Zhou Yu’s carpentry skill very much, some simply wanted to visit the shooting location of Fruit Pirates, and some were pseudo-tourists with the same mind as those journalists.

Having more tourists was a good thing. After all, it was time for those rural tourism projects to open. The so-called rural tourism projects were actually a variety of activities involving planting vegetables, sightseeing, fishing, hugging some small animals. It might be a new experience for people who have lived in cities for a long time, but it was only the daily lives of rural people.

The shooting base had also been restored. After all, the weather was getting colder and only fewer people were actually getting into the water. But no one knew what was wrong with the little boss Zhou Yu, he just didn’t want to stop the wave-making facility. So if he restored the filming base of fruit pirates, it might be able to attract some tourists and make up for the loss of switching on the wave-making facility.

There were many ways to generate profit. The entrance alone required money to buy tickets, although it was not expensive. In addition to the huge floating naval base, there were many medieval ships, plus the even more impressive aircraft carrier, which had also been moved into the pool to make the scene even more eye-catching.

If people were not satisfied with just taking photos, they could also rent some ship models and then have fun with it in the water. But these models were not for sale, because it would be too wasteful to keep using Moe Coins to make ship models. If he really wanted money, it was much better and quicker to make money by selling animations.

This was to say, that the only real ship models that were circling outside were those ships that had been repaired from the pile of ruins. No wonder the price of those repaired ships would soar up wildly. It was mainly because Zhou Yu’s work was very rare on the market.

Those who wanted to see the ship models, and those who wanted to see the filming location of “fruit pirates” were very satisfied. Plus they also had a wonderful rural tourism experience, so to them, the trip to Luna village was worth it. In terms of those people who wanted to dig some information, they all returned with disappointment.

As long as people entered the park, it would not be difficult to find Zhou Yu. But if they wanted to curry favor with Zhou Yu, it would be extremely difficult. It was not that Zhou Yu liked to look down on other people or act like he was superior to other people, normally when other people call him, he would also respond. But whenever people talked about Fruit Pirates, he would immediately stop talking. If those people insisted on digging deeper, he would immediately run away.

God knows why an otaku would run so fast, so far no one could catch up with him.

After wandering in the park for several days, they didn’t get anything useful. So in the end, those people would shake their heads and give up doxing Zhou Yu.

Regarding Doxing this kind of thing, some people do it by traveling a lot, but others do it by using technology. Unknowingly, Zhou Yu’s computer had already been targeted by hackers. In fact, there was nothing valuable, except for some unhealthy movies that he didn’t want people to know about. So he was not too worried about being hacked by other people. However, if the works produced by the animation base and the game company were exposed, it would bring some trouble.

But strangely, Zhou Yu’s computer, which was not protected, hadn’t been hacked by anyone. The reason for this was that there was a mysterious person, hidden in the dark, silently guarding Zhou Yu’s computer.

At present, this person doesn’t want to appear, so we will talk about it in the future.

Anyway, both types of doxing failed terribly. After the first two failures in searching for the two Taoists, the task of uncovering Beidou studio was also tragically defeated like the battle of Waterloo. It made people sigh with mixed feelings that the ACG industries were truly full of hidden masters. It seemed like those three mysteries had to be solved by the younger generations.

However, those who had traveled to Luhu village still got something interesting. For example, Zhou Yu was not only just a carpentry master, but also a magical animal trainer.

In a strange little training ground, they saw the scenes of Diandian and Sir Black training the next generation of Knight’s mount, and then, naturally, they were shocked.

Who had ever seen chickens running on a runway that had many obstacles, and a pigeon that flew through a ring of fire? If they didn’t know it in advance, they would have thought that they had just watched a circus show.

But even in circuses, when training animals, the trainer would always have whips and treats in their hands, right? However, when this Zhou Yu trained animals, he only moved his lips. What was more surprising was that these little fellows still followed orders obediently without making any troubles.

It was truly magical.
