Chapter 1016: If Otaku
Zhou Xu wanted to ask questions, he certainly couldn’t just stand here at the harbor and ask.
The village on the island was not far from the harbor. Standing at the harbor, Zhou Xu could even see the towering wooden protective walls surrounding the village.
The protective wall was made of the trunks of large trees. Although it was called a wooden wall, its strength was actually not that bad.
At the same time, Zhou Xu also had a general understanding from Bai Tu's previous report.
The range of activities of the residents of this village is composed of large tracts of woodland. There are indeed no stone production points. On the contrary, there is no shortage of wood, large tracts of which are not in short supply.
This is also the main reason why the main buildings in the villages and towns here are made of wood.
Under this premise, Zhou Xu undoubtedly knew that the other party tried to attack them with a combination of hot air balloons and kerosene barrels, but ended up setting themselves on fire.
The burned part has been repaired now, but when Zhou Xu glanced over it, he could still see a lot of burnt marks.
This part was basically only burnt on the surface and the actual damage was very small. In order to save manpower and material resources, it was not replaced.
As Zhou Xu continued to observe, the group quickly walked into the village.
Several months have passed since the occupation of this village in the spring, and the residents of the island have obviously realized that the troops of the Great Zhou have no ill intentions.
Although their villages and towns were occupied and incorporated, in some ways, their lives became easier than before.
Previously, in order to fight against the Great Zhou, Tanaka Yotaro began to exploit internal labor and continuously transformed sea ships.
This move not only increased their labor pressure, but also directly led to a rapid decrease in the number of fishing boats on the island, thereby increasing their internal food pressure.
After all, for island residents, going out to sea to fish is an important way for them to obtain food.
However, the situation was different after the Great Zhou officially took over the island.
Although the fishing boats that had been modified and damaged could not be brought back, Da Zhou would no longer urge them to modify the boats, and the work pressure was significantly reduced.
Under this premise, there is sufficient food within the Great Zhou, and food is not a problem for them at all.
Of course, these foods are not given to them for free. They need to put in corresponding labor, get wages through labor, and then use the wages to buy food.
However, the island also has a similar mechanism.
Although the currency has changed, everyone is not unfamiliar with it and can quickly adapt to it easily.
In just a few months, Emperor Tanaka Yotaro has even been forgotten by the islanders. Even if he is occasionally mentioned, they curse him. Compared with the previous life, everyone is very satisfied with their current life.
Led by Bai Tu, Zhou Xu quickly arrived at the castle tower.
The name sounds quite reasonable, but it doesn't actually look like a high-end building. To put it bluntly, it is only two stories higher than other wooden houses in the village and has a larger area.
Walking into a spacious room that seemed to be a reception room, the Japanese people liked to sit on the floor, with a cushion underneath at most. Zhou Xu and Bai Tu obviously did not have this habit.
With the arrival of Bai Tu and his companions, the castle tower has been furnished with furniture such as tables and chairs.
Leaning back on the armchair, Zhou Xu waited for Bai Tu to bring the person over.
Compared to the islanders who were sent to look for them, Tanaka Yotaro, who had been held in solitary confinement, was brought to Zhou Xu first.
At the first encounter, Zhou Xu, as usual, first used the "Eye of Secrets" to scan the opponent's panel.
This panel can only be said to be a replica of Wang Pengfei's original one.
He looks thinner than Wang Pengfei back then.
But this was all thanks to Bai Tu keeping him in solitary confinement for several months.
In order to prevent prisoners like this from causing trouble, they are generally not allowed to eat too much.
Anyway, there are only two meals a day, and each meal consists of a steamed bun and a bowl of water.
After eating it for a few months, I have lost a lot of weight.
Although he was more concerned about the mountain deep in the island, he was not in a hurry now.
As his thoughts raced, Zhou Xu's eyes fell on the other person.
At this moment, Tanaka Yotaro was standing there with his head hung down, looking autistic.
"What did you do before you crossed over?"
Hearing this, Tanaka Yotaro, who was standing there, unconsciously grasped the corners of his clothes with both hands. After two seconds of silence, he made a few notes in a mosquito-like voice.
"Otaku."
Hearing the tone, Zhou Xu knew that he was speaking Japanese, but with the system's simultaneous translation, Zhou Xu understood it instantly.
It probably means 'dead house'.
After saying this, Tanaka Yotaro lowered his head even more, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
From his perspective, even if Zhou Xu in front of him didn't say anything and just sat there, he already exuded a strong aura of presence, which made him dare not look at him at all.
Zhou Xu didn't know that Tanaka Yotaro was standing there, adding so much drama to his story, and he was still continuing to ask questions according to his own train of thought.
After asking these questions, Zhou Xu was basically certain that the Tanaka Yotaro in front of him was indeed a very pure Japanese otaku.
The otakus in Japan are actually completely different from those in China.
Most of the so-called stay-at-home people in China should go to school, work, and make money, but they just like to stay at home during their rest time, watching TV series, anime, and playing games. They don’t want to go out or socialize.
However, the otakus in Japan are generally an extreme group who do not go out, do not work, do not socialize, and get all their living expenses paid from their parents. They cannot be lumped together.
The one in front of you is Tanaka Yotaro.
After traveling through time, he unexpectedly became famous for a while thanks to his modern mind, but now he has completely returned to his original form.
Zhou Xu didn't dwell on this matter and continued with his questioning.
"Do you know the big mountain deep in the island?"
"Know."
"Is that a volcano or just a normal mountain?"
Faced with this question, Tanaka Yotaro was stunned at first, then shook his head.
"I don't know. It's too far away. We haven't been there yet."
The overall development status of the villages and towns on this island is estimated to be only slightly better than that of the tribal era.
At the same time, there are currently no livestock such as cattle and horses found on the island. The islanders rely entirely on their legs to move around the island, which greatly limits their mobility.
How could the islanders here have the energy to continue exploring when they have to work hard every day to make a living? Zhou Xu then asked a few more questions, but what Tanaka Yangtaro knew was indeed limited.
After asking the question, Zhou Xu looked at Tanaka Yotaro who still looked embarrassed, and changed the subject slightly...
"Don't worry, as long as you submit to our Great Zhou and serve us honestly, I will not make things difficult for you."
When Tanaka Yotaro heard this, he immediately knelt down and did the Japanese signature dogeza style.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! I will serve the Great Zhou wholeheartedly in the future."
After listening to Tanaka Yotaro's expression of loyalty, Zhou Xu did not say a word, and Tanaka Yotaro did not dare to get up. He could only continue to kneel, and the scene fell into a strange silence.
Zhou Xu held his chin with one hand, looked at Tanaka Yotaro who was kneeling below, and then silently counted down to ten in his heart.
After counting ten, he just stretched out a finger with an expressionless face.
