Starting with a haunted house to create a thrilling game arena

Chapter 32: The Young Woman Joins the Company

"Uncle Xu, there's been a lot of construction going on in the underground parking lot lately. Could it be that Director Luo has sold it to Chen Ge?"

While Uncle Xu was busy...

Zhang Ze leaned over to strike up a conversation.

Upon seeing that it was Zhang Ze, Uncle Xu put down what he was doing and showed a friendly smile. "Yes, Xiao Chen wants to further develop the haunted house business."

"Sigh, it's really heartbreaking. Poor Xiao Chen. His parents suddenly disappeared, leaving him only this haunted house. He wants to run the haunted house well, probably hoping to find news of his parents."

Zhang Ze understood everything Uncle Xu had said.

He just wanted to know how far things had progressed for Chen Ge.

Chen Ge's purchase of the underground parking lot usage rights means that he is likely to get his hands on her real lap.

Zhang Ya.

It's not just a simple red-clothed ghost; Zhang Ya is even an existence that escaped from the world behind the door, far more terrifying than ordinary red-clothed beings, and eventually even became a malevolent god.

"As expected of the protagonist."

"To be able to get such an awesome carry right from the start."

Zhang Ze felt a deep sense of emotion.

After chatting casually with Uncle Xu for a few minutes, Zhang Ze returned to his haunted house.

Chen Ge's progress was indeed very fast.

He couldn't be left behind either.

He specifically bought dish soap, toilet cleaner, and various cleaning tools to prepare for completing the system's daily tasks.

【④ (Daily): Clean the haunted house, remove dust and trash, and keep it clean. Reward: 1 spin on the roulette wheel】

"start!"

Zhang Ze put on an apron.

His haunted house turned out to be a bumper car arena, which was quite large and had many small rooms. He had to clean each one thoroughly to meet the system's cleaning standards.

Two hours later.

Zhang Ze, covered in sweat, put down the rag.

The haunted house was cleaned up, and although it was still deserted, at least it didn't look as dilapidated as before.

[Task Completed]

[Bonus Roulette Draw Attempt x1]

Daily tasks completed.

Next, there's only one daily task left: unlocking the second scene. Completing this will refresh other daily tasks, as well as the third nightmare task.

Given that the first scene, the crow's nest, is a scene with a screaming index of 2 stars.

Zhang Ze was still a little apprehensive about this new setting.

Unlike Chen Ge, who has the protagonist's halo and whose parents are watching over him from the very beginning, almost paving the way for him, Chen Ge has had his shadow brother bearing his misfortunes and pain since childhood...

Zhang Ze died once in the very first scene.

If Zhang Ze hadn't found a way to steal supernatural information and reattach his severed hand, he'd probably still be playing Dead by Daylight with Lao Zhou and Li Yang in the painted world.

"System, use lottery draw attempts."

"Give me a top-tier actress like Zhang Ya or Xu Yin!"

"At the very least, we can send a Mennan to replenish our fighting strength."

A spinning wheel appeared in front of Zhang Ze.

The pointer spun rapidly, but this time it finally stopped at something familiar...

[The damaged videotape]

【Number 008】

Not a buddy?

Zhang Ze currently has two damaged videotapes, numbered 008 and 009. However, Zhang Ze has actually had someone look at these videotapes in the past few days, and due to the severe damage, they cannot be opened by normal means.

In other words, I won two junk items in the lottery.

Zhang Ze was speechless.

Since the lottery can't provide him with paranormal missions, he has to find paranormal events and create the scenes himself.

After all, he can draw now, and strictly speaking, he can also draw a new scene. But the workload is unbelievably large. Drawing a scene also requires the use of the space behind the door, as well as designing the scene and props, and the points of various horror elements.

"This BYD system is a real rip-off, the drop rate is pathetic. Can't I trade with Boss Chen for a cheat code... sigh."

Zhang Ze complained, but his actions betrayed his true intentions as he put away the videotape.

Back at the haunted house, it continues to welcome tourists.

Until nightfall.

The last train.

After seeing off several tourists, Zhang Ze spotted a familiar face among them.

A girl who looked to be just over eighteen years old was wearing a short skirt, and even had an earring and tattoos...

Shen Yue?

"You really are the owner of the haunted house!" Shen Yue exclaimed excitedly upon seeing Zhang Ze. "I watched your live stream recording online! That's why I came all the way here to find you!"

"Is this the crow's nest scene the place we entered after leaving the internet cafe that day?"

"The staff member in the haunted house looked familiar to me, but he didn't seem to remember me. However, I remember that he was the one who told me that there was a fire at the Speedy Internet Cafe and that we were trapped in some haunted place."

Shen Yue's eyes were wide open, and Zhang Ze could even see the color of her colored contact lenses. She had even applied special eyelash extensions. At first glance, she didn't look like she was out to visit a haunted house, but rather like she was out on a date with her boyfriend.

"What do you want to do?"

"I...I want to apply for a job. The Speedy Internet Cafe burned down, and I have nowhere to work. Please, please take me in!" Shen Yue said directly.

Zhang Ze was stunned.

Are there really such straightforward and outspoken young women?

He has never had any contact with it before.

Thinking about it carefully, the energetic young woman really is straightforward and never beats around the bush.

"At your age, instead of going to school, you're out working on your own. What if you run into the same situation as last time again?" Zhang Ze said slowly.

"I just think you're reliable, boss. If you hadn't saved me, I would have lost my innocence." Shen Yue scratched the back of her head sheepishly.

She made a special trip to Zhang Ze's place.

She also felt very safe because Zhang Ze helped her out of that predicament that day.

At least by Zhang Ze's side, she didn't have to worry about her outfit attracting unwanted attention, unlike the internet cafe receptionist where all sorts of men would try to take advantage of her.

Zhang Ze originally wanted to refuse.

On second thought.

The haunted house seems to be missing a ticket seller.

At least Chen Ge has Xu Wan, who can help keep an eye on things when Chen Ge isn't around.

If Zhang Ze isn't around, we can't expect Crow to be in charge of running the place, can we?

Old Zhou and Li Yang are both regrets from the world behind the gate, unable to enter reality. Even if Zhang Ze forcibly brings them into reality, it would be difficult to explain if someone took photos and leaked them.

After all, Lao Zhou and Li Yang are both dead in real life.

The dead coming back to life—that's big news!

In the crow's nest scene, this could also be explained as special effects compositing.

Once it comes to reality, there's no way to clear your name, no matter what.

"You can come work for me, but you have to tone down your personality a bit. First, you have to sign a confidentiality agreement. Everything in the haunted house is confidential. If it gets leaked and people know how it works, they won't want to come anymore."

"And I also need to see your ID card; minors can't work."

"If possible, I'll let you try it out for a month. If you perform well during the probation period, you'll be a full-time employee," Zhang Ze added. "The probation salary is 5000 yuan a month, and 7000 yuan a month after that, plus performance-based commissions. How about that?"

"Yay!"

Shen Yue immediately smiled, "I knew you were the best, Boss Zhang!"

"I'll start working right now!"
