The app with the front door of the Haunted House looked like a popular business simulation mobile game on the market, but instead of a hotel, aquarium, or pet park, it was a Haunted House.
Chen Ge stared at the screen. He could not understand why the phone left behind by his parents would have such a strange mini game.
He looked through the interface, and all the information matched his Haunted House, including the daily visitor count and the facilities inside the Haunted House. This game gave Chen Ge a strange feeling. It was as if the Haunted House that he needed to manage in the game was his Haunted House in real life.
The same bad situation, the same close to closing down, there were too many similarities between the two.
Could it be that this game is based on my Haunted House? Then if I change the Haunted House in-game, will it benefit me in real life as well?
Chen Ge continued to read. The Haunted House's current scenario, Night of the Living Dead, was criticized to the point that it was worthless. The Minghun project, which had been featured in the newspaper before, only received a rating of half a star from the game review.
Even Minghun is only given half a star, I can't imagine how scary the unlockable scenarios will be. He tried to unlock more scenarios, and when he touched this option, a line of text appeared on screen, reminding him that he needed to complete a certain number of Daily Missions before he could unlock them.
Looks like the Daily Missions are the foundation of everything. Only by completing the Daily Missions will I be able to unlock the scenarios. More scenarios will attract more visitors, and with that, I can expand the Haunted House and increase the size of the site, forming a virtuous cycle.
Chen Ge had played many mobile games in his spare time, and he soon understood the rules of the game — the completion rate of the Daily Missions would affect the development of the Haunted House.
Clicking on the Daily Missions, three options appeared on screen.
Easy Mission: There are three main elements to designing a Haunted House — Story, Setting, and Mood. A Haunted House without a story has no soul. Please complete the background story for the Night of the Living Dead and Minghun scenarios.
Normal Mission: Repair all the mannequins inside the Haunted House before midnight.
Nightmare Mission: I believe you must be curious about whether ghosts exist in this world or not. Let's play a little game, the truth will be revealed the moment you open your eyes.
The Daily Missions refresh at midnight every day, and you can only accept one mission per day. Different missions have different rewards.
(Warning! Some missions are extremely dangerous, so please choose carefully!)
After looking at the daily quests, Chen Ge was a little surprised. "The quests in the game have to be completed in real life. Does this mean that the game can affect reality?"
In order to verify his guess, he decided to accept a mission and try it out.
The daily quests were graded according to the difficulty, and he could only choose one to accept each day. If he wanted to maximize the benefits, he would definitely choose the most difficult one. However, the few quests at the back were extremely dangerous, which made Chen Ge a little apprehensive.
"It's hard to decide. The description of the Nightmare Mission is very vague. It's obvious that it's a trap. Why don't we start with the normal difficulty? It's a bit difficult to fix all the mannequins before midnight, but it's not impossible. "
Chen Ge was a very decisive person. Once he made a decision, he would act immediately. Without wasting any time, he grabbed the toolbox and a bucket of unopened fake blood and started to inspect all the mannequins and props inside the Haunted House.
It was late at night, and Chen Ge walked through the large Haunted House alone. To save electricity, he did not even turn on the lights in the corridor. He held a flashlight under his arm as he dragged the mannequins that needed to be repaired around.
If this was seen by an outsider who did not know the reason, they would probably call the police.
"This is so tiring. I didn't expect so many mannequins to have problems. Looks like I didn't take good care of them before!"
At 11: 45 pm, Chen Ge received the mission completion notification on his phone. "You've completed the normal difficulty Daily Mission. Only by focusing on the details can you create the perfect scary atmosphere. Congratulations for obtaining the mission reward — Background Track, Black Friday."
"Isn't Black Friday a banned song in foreign countries? According to legend, if you listen to it too much, you'll have suicidal thoughts. The original version has disappeared a long time ago. " Chen Ge found a picture of a CD in the item storage on his phone. "Who would use this as a mission reward? Is this a prank?"
He clicked on the CD, and a melody that he had not heard before appeared in his ears.
The sound seemed to be born from the darkness. It was lonely and sad. Chen Ge felt like everything was leaving him. He felt like he was sinking into the depths of the ocean or walking down a tunnel that had no end.
When the song ended, Chen Ge's back was drenched in sweat. He was thankful that he had not chosen to play the song on loop, or else he really did not know if he would have been able to walk out from this song.
"This is for real! This should be the original version! "
Completing the mission in the game could earn rewards in real life. This gave Chen Ge a chance to change the situation at Haunted House.
He turned off the music and saved it carefully. After dealing with everything, Chen Ge crawled into the staff breakroom.
Lying in bed, his body was tired, but he did not feel sleepy at all.
Any normal person would need time to digest what he had experienced that day.
Without realizing it, it was already midnight, and Chen Ge was still staring at the ceiling.
"I can't sleep at all!" Bored out of his mind, he took out the black phone. "It's already midnight, so the Daily Missions should be refreshed by now, right?"
He opened the app, and the tab for Daily Missions had indeed changed.
"Easy Mission: If you want to provide the visitors with a very scary experience, then you have to pay attention to the pace of the tour. The actors and traps appearing too early or too late will cause the visitors to lose interest, so I suggest you install sound detectors and cameras inside the Haunted House to monitor the visitors' progress."
"Normal Mission: A good Haunted House needs a good team to run it. Hire more talents, and they will help you overcome the difficulties."
"I believe you are still curious about whether there are ghosts in the world or not. Let's play a little game; the truth will be revealed the moment you open your eyes."
The Daily Missions refresh at midnight every day. You can only accept one mission per day, and the reward is different depending on the difficulty.
"Warning! Some missions are extremely dangerous, so choose carefully! "
The three new Daily Missions gave Chen Ge quite a headache.
The Easy Mission was to install sound detectors and cameras inside the Haunted House. This mission could be completed with money, but the problem was that Chen Ge's budget was limited, and he did not have that much money.
The Normal Mission was not friendly to Chen Ge either. The old employee who had been with him through the storm had just resigned yesterday, and today, he had to hire a new employee. Even if there was someone willing to come, training them from scratch would take a lot of time. By the time the new employee could take charge of the Haunted House, it would be too late for the Haunted House.
After eliminating the Easy and Normal Missions, Chen Ge focused on the last Daily Mission.
