Chapter 3 Are You a Otaku?

Chapter 3 Are You a Otaku?
"Master Jiazi, what do you say?" The little girl pricked up her ears upon hearing that. She put down the teacup in her hand and stared at the young man in Taoist robe opposite her with her eyes fixed, fearing that she would miss any key information.

"What should I do next?"

"Well... before I give you a formal conclusion, Master Xu, please allow me to ask you two questions first." Lu Shinian supported his chin and pretended to ponder, "I have a few more details I want to confirm."

Xu Yichi nodded repeatedly: "Master, please speak."

"Okay then." Lu Shinian nodded his head, then raised his arm with full momentum and leaned on the armrest of the chair.

"Are you a otaku?"

The little girl's face went blank for a moment: "Ah?"

"So, are you a otaku?" Lu Shinian's expression did not change at all, he just opened his mouth and launched countless critical strikes on Xu Yichi's heart, "--playing games during the day and watching anime at night, and your phone is either filled with some pink app, some pink app, and some pink app."

"I cosplay and eat rice every day, I grab comic convention tickets faster than I grab train tickets, and I always yell at the wives on Big Eyes Boy, "Mommy, hungry, food..."

"Climbing the wall and hanging the ladder to the accelerator, besides the work software, the one that takes up the most memory in the computer is a white steam engine connecting rod?"

Lu Shinian said this and stretched his head forward very seriously: "Are you this kind of otaku?"

"Too..." Xu Yichi's lips trembled wildly and his face turned red. "Too outrageous!!"

"Master Jiazi, I know you Taoists can surf the Internet, but I didn't expect you to be so cool!!"

——What pink app three in a row and mom starving... It's so wet that she's almost getting rheumatism!
——Take it down, quickly take down the surveillance camera installed in her house!
"Ah~ That means," Lu Shinian smiled and clapped his hands, concluding, "You are indeed a deadbeat."

"...What do you mean by otaku? I'm just an old fan of the second dimension at best!" The little girl stuck her neck out and said stubbornly, "Besides, I, I'm a game producer!!"

"Can't we game developers watch more popular TV series and games to understand the recent changes in the industry and the spiritual needs of contemporary young people?"

"Of course there is no problem." Lu Shinian had a fake smile on his face, and he stabbed Xu Yichi's knee again without warning, "So, my honorable old 2D otaku - if I'm not mistaken, you must seldom exercise and rarely go out to see the sun, right?"

Xu Yichi only felt a sharp pain in his knees, and his heart was pierced like a sieve: "Then I can't move my computer outside to play games!!"

"Yeah, it's okay, it doesn't matter." Lu Shinian remained calm and decisively ignored the little girl's protests. "Anyway, I already know what's going on with you."

"——Your innate horoscope is weak, and you stay at home all year round, which results in your Yang Fire being too weak, and your Qi and blood being deficient. In the end, you accidentally provoked some evil spirits while collecting folk songs."

--in short.

Mainly because I stay at home.

"Demon...demon spirit?" Xu Yichi was stunned when she heard this word. She didn't care about explaining that she was not a "house-bound" anymore. "Isn't it some dirty thing like a ghost or a monster?"

"Ghost... maybe there was a little bit of it before, but now I see that you are contaminated with mainly demonic energy." Lu Shinian thought and gave an answer, "I think before you met this demon, you also encountered some obsessions, but it left very quickly."

"Well, that's it." Xu Yichi blinked his eyes, not quite understanding, "Then Taoist Jiazi, what are 'demon spirits'?" "Mostly they are the spirits of some old cultural relics." Lu Shinian said concisely, "If we are lucky, we can sometimes encounter some spirits and monsters that have lived for who knows how many years."

"But the chance of encountering the latter is very low. And considering your itinerary in recent days and the information we already have, it is very likely that you accidentally attracted the spirit of something while visiting these cultural centers and museums."

——In Shanxi Province, cultural skills that can be applied for national intangible cultural heritage status must have been formed for at least several hundred years.

Well, among so many things, it's normal for two, three, four or five of them to become spirits occasionally, right?

Lu Shinian leaned back comfortably thinking about it. After Xu Yichi heard it, his eyes became more and more suspicious: "Then, then, then, then... Taoist Master Jiazi, what should I do now?"

"I don't know." The young man shook his head.

"?" A series of question marks appeared above the little girl's head.

"I really don't know." Lu Shinian spread his hands innocently, "Old spirits like this won't just follow people around - now that she's attached to you, she must be asking something of you."

"But I don't know what she wants you to do specifically - maybe she heard about your studio's recent plans and wants you to make her into the game; or maybe she just likes you."

"——I only know that, given their temperament, most of them will not easily leave until their wish is fulfilled."

Lu Shinian blinked: "So I don't know what you should do next."

"...Then what's the point of me coming up the mountain to find you today?" Xu Yichi was completely devastated, "Is it just to prove that I'm not a otaku?"

“嗐,这个,您不要着急嘛!许福主。”道袍青年优哉游哉,顶着小姑娘几欲暴揍他一顿的目光,动作十分自然地开屏、点开绿色气球仔,拉出二维码。

"Although I don't know why the spirit came to you...but we can find a chance to ask her!"

"Here, look, this is my WeChat QR code. You can scan it and add me on WeChat. Then, next time you see that person, we can ask her directly."

"Oh, we can play it this way...Okay, I'll add you." Xu Yichi clapped his thigh as if he had suddenly realized something, and immediately took out his cell phone in a hurry after he finished speaking.

After successfully adding Lu Shinian's WeChat, the girl finally breathed a sigh of relief. She stared at the brightly lit string of "I'm a dead clamp!" on the screen, and she couldn't help but feel a little more hesitant.

"...Master Jiazi, are you sure you can be trusted this time?" Xu Yichi raised her eyes and cast a suspicious look at the young man - she always felt that the Taoist name "Jiazi" did not sound like that of a serious Taoist priest.

And his WeChat ID doesn’t look serious.

"Hello, dear, I'm not sure." Lu Shinian smiled with a standard customer service smile, "But it's not a big problem."

"If I'm not reliable enough, I can ask my master to come over."

 They are kind of funny hahahahahahahaha
