The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 71 Sir Black

Heaven eventually accorded Bubu’s wish. The Flying Bird Knight Bubu finally received its mount – Sir Black The Pigeon. Like Diandian, pigeon egg was hatched only in just one night, and after that, its growth rate finally became normal. At the moment, the pigeon was growing healthily and vigorously under the full care of Bubu.

But unlike Diandian, Sir Black did not get much attention from birth, which could only blam for the bad timing of its birth. It was during the Spring Festival, and the time and the frequency of children coming to the yard of Zhou Yu’s family was decreasing day by day. Therefore, naturally, no one would see a pigeon growing slowly in the flower greenhouse.

In this way, Sir Black grew up almost in secret.

When the excitement of the Spring Festival faded away, many villagers left the village for work again, the village slowly quieted down again. At this time Sir Black could even fly for short distances in the yard.

Unlike Jack’s harshness, Bubu doted on Sir Black. It was not even willing to let it be windswept and battered by rain. However, Sir Black itself was very hardworking. It actively and continuously trained itself very hard, and soon it was able to wear the Bird Mount armor.

This set of bird mount armor came from Bubu. It was light and convenient. The main focus of the armor was not on protection, but on increasing the aerodynamics and the stability when it was used in the air. As for the principle of those, Zhou Yu didn’t know any all.

After equipping with the bird mount armor, it meant that Sir Black was finally a qualified flying mount. However, Bubu was full of tears. It didn’t want to take the risk and bring Sir Black to the brigand cave. Although it was also a top adventurer, and it didn’t take those low-level brigands seriously, it didn’t want Sir Black to get hurt.

This guy and Jack were totally different.

When a black pigeon in a strange feather armor landed on Zhou Yu’s shoulder, comfortably stretching its wings and grooming its feathers, it instantly attracted the children’s attention.

Brother Yu was seriously really strange. It was alright to saddle up a chicken. Now he even saddled up a pigeon? That said, the pets of brother Yu were also something else. They didn’t mind to have those things on their bodies. Since children saw Diandian dressed in armor, they had also tried to put armors on other animals in the village as well, however, as soon as they put armors on them, all those animals would immediately shake it off. They were not like Diandian at all.

It was said that city people liked to dress their pets that way, and those pets were also used to be dressed like this. So the animals, that brother Yu were raised, were probably the descendant of those pets.

If Diandian was a general, then Sir black would be a ranger. Every day it would fly away to unknown places to play. It was full of adventure spirit. Under the excessive care of the overly protective Bubu, its yearning for freedom was far greater than others.

Unlike its master, Sir Black and DianDian had a very good relationship. People could often see Sir Black standing on the saddle of Diandian when it was tired of flying. A pigeon and a chicken were like two brothers, whenever there was a fight, they would fight side-by-side.

Since the last time Diandian fought a stray dog, Luhua Village became Diandian’s territory. Whenever other stray dogs saw it, they would run far away. However, there were always some less obstinate creatures, who wanted to usurp its throne and challenge their big brother’s status. Especially some stray dogs in the village. They were unwilling to be so oppressed by a chicken. They had repeatedly tried to turn the table.

At one point, Diandian was surrounded by two stray dogs. No matter how powerful Diandian was, it still couldn’t defeat two stray dogs at the same time. Then Sir Black, who had just finished its training, flew down from the sky while still wearing its feather armor. With the help of Sir Balck, Diandian counter-attacked the stray dogs and defeated them.

Although Sir Black couldn’t do much damage, it could still harass the stray dogs. Its cooperation with Diandian was as smooth as flowing water. In fact, the two stray dogs were not weaker than Sir Black. However, they didn’t know any tactics and cooperation at all. As a result, whenever they were annoyed by Sir Black’s repeatedly harassment and decided to chase Sir Black, Diandian would have an opportunity to counterattack.

Uncle Qing, who was the owner of the fish farm, was fortunate enough to observe this fight scene. He was stunned by what he saw for a long time, ‘damn, those two animals are clear. They even know how to divide labor and cooperate with each other. One is responsible for attracting firepower and the other is responsible for attacking from behind.’

The next day, Uncle Qing came to Zhou Yu. The reason was that recently his family had just bought some ducklings. However, they were targeted by rats. Every night, a dozen ducklings would be killed. Rat traps and rodenticides had already been used. However, they had no effect at all. It really gave him a lot of headaches. He had heard children saying that Diandian had caught many rats and mice already. In addition to seeing the dogfighting scene, he wanted to give it a try.

Indeed, since Zhou Yu had Diandian, the mice in the house had died out.

It was just a little thing, so Zhou Yu happily agreed, and then asked Jack and Bubu to go on an expedition together. Although those two could not cause damage to the real world, they could play a supervisory role. In case of any unexpected situations that couldn’t be dealt with, they could come back to get Zhou Yu.

With Sir Black in the sky, and Diandian on the ground, tonight was bound to be a killing night.

Uncle Qing didn’t sleep this evening. He lay in ambush beside the duck shed. After all, there was only one of them, even if Diandian was very good at catching rats, it would not be able to deal with a group of rats. Uncle Qing’s youngest son Zhou Mushen was also staying near the shed, holding a stick, trying to protect his family’s ducklings, however, he could not keep his eyelids open.

So after twelve o’clock, he fell asleep on the ground. Uncle Qing could only take him back into the house first and then went back to the duck shed. The light in the duck shed was kept on. It was very bright. Because chickens and pigeons had poor vision at night. So only in this way, would they be able to see properly.

Thinking about how boy Yu told them what to do before he left, and how they seemed to be able to understand what he had said. It was truly abnormal. In a stranger’s house, Diandian was not even nervous at all. It just stayed near the duck shed, seemingly sleeping with its eyes closed, but as soon as there were some movements, it would immediately open its eyes. Its eyes could even unleash cold gleams, making uncle Qing shivered uncontrollably.

Sir Black was always in the tree, so uncle Qing didn’t know what it was doing.

After midnight, Uncle Qing was a little tired. He almost thought that those rats might have obtained the information from someone. So that they didn’t show up this evening.

But it was at this moment, a pigeon’s grunting noise suddenly came from overhead, and Diandian immediately flew out like lightning and rushed into a dark bush. Uncle Qing followed it with a flashlight and a shovel. With the light shone into the bush, uncle Qing immediately saw what was in there.

Holy shit, more than a dozen big rats were running away in panic.

In just a few moments, two big rats had already fallen to the ground, all with big holes in their skulls. Uncle Qing also joined the battle and began to use his shovel to hit rats. However, only one of them was killed, and all the others went disappeared.

It was good enough already to teach these bastards a lesson. Uncle Qing was very satisfied with the result of this battle. With a few more nights like this, the rats would never dare to come again.

However, the battle was not over yet. Sir Black fluttered down and stood on Uncle Qing’s shoulder. One of its wings stretched out, pointing to a direction. Uncle Qing immediately shone the torch in that direction, and then Diandian quickly charged out. Sure enough, it destroyed another spot where the mice were temporarily hiding.

After running around several times, except for a few that had already gone far away from the beginning, all the rest were killed here.

A total of thirteen dead rats, a brilliant victory!
