Before he went to Western Jiujiang's Private Academy, Chen Ge had looked at the three daily missions for the day. The easy mission was to investigate the security threats, the normal mission was to find a suitable location to expand the Haunted House, and the nightmare mission was to find the other person living in the room.
Looking at the black phone, if he wanted to maximize the reward, he had to choose the nightmare mission. However, based on his previous two experiences, the nightmare mission had a specific time requirement, which was around midnight. If he missed that time, he might fail the mission automatically.
There's no need to gamble; it's better to play it safe. Chen Ge clicked on the screen to accept the normal mission.
"Normal Mission: You've received the chance to expand the Haunted House, please find a suitable location to expand it as soon as possible!"
This was the first time that Chen Ge had expanded the Haunted House. He did not know how to do it, and the black phone did not give him any hints.
There's not even a tutorial, so I'll have to figure it out myself. Chen Ge looked at the Haunted House menu again, and two things caught his attention.
The tab for team members was still empty, which meant that neither Zhang Ya nor Yin Xiaoxiao had become a member of the Haunted House.
Yin Xiaoxiao probably did not have enough affection for him, and with regards to Zhang Ya, Chen Ge would be satisfied if she did not think about killing him every day, much less join the Haunted House.
The second thing that caught Chen Ge's attention was the condition for expanding the Haunted House. The gray text had turned red, and when he touched it, a line appeared on screen. "Please select the location of the door."
"Turning red means that it can be activated. As for the location of the door …"
Chen Ge had rented the entire underground parking lot. It was very spacious, but the downside was that the parking lot was outside the theme park, so it was not convenient for him to go back and forth. Therefore, he planned to open a path inside the Haunted House that led underground.
In theme parks, roller coasters, ferris wheels, and other large attractions were not allowed to have underground structures, but due to its location, the Haunted House was an exception. The parking lot was right under Chen Ge's house.
Holding the black phone, Chen Ge came to the door of Night of the Living Dead. After Minghun and Murder by Midnight, the two one-star scenarios, Night of the Living Dead was rarely used anymore.
"The door will be opened next to Night of the Living Dead. If there isn't enough space in the future, we can replace Night of the Living Dead." Chen Ge was very thoughtful. He used the carbon pen to draw a circle on the floor next to the Night of the Living Dead. After he was done, he realized that he had no way of communicating with the black phone. Ever since he got the black phone, he had been passively accepting missions and rewards.
"Did I miss something?" Chen Ge flipped through the page again. When he double-tapped on the phone's home screen, the picture of the Haunted House that was supposed to be the background slowly zoomed in. Its structure was identical to his own Haunted House, including the interior and the layout of the rooms.
"Could it be that I have to make a choice here?"
Chen Ge found the Night of the Living Dead scenario on the desktop. He tapped on the spot next to it, and a message popped up on the screen. "Confirm the location of the door?"
"I'm sure."
"Please select the expansion direction."
"Down."
After making the choice, the desktop returned to normal, and Chen Ge received several more messages.
"Keep expanding, and only then will your Haunted House be able to accommodate more homeless souls and harvest more screams. Congratulations for completing the Normal Difficulty Daily Mission. Obtained mission reward — one free spin of the Wheel of Misfortune!"
"Location selected. First expansion successful. Congratulations for obtaining a unique building — Midnight Ticket Counter (Broken)!
"Midnight Ticket Counter (Broken): There is a one in a thousand chance of attracting a special 'visitor'. They are different from the others, and they might be of help to you."
Chen Ge read every message on the black phone very carefully. The daily mission had given him a spin of the Wheel of Misfortune, but there was too much uncertainty in this reward. He needed to collect one hundred screams to get one spin. Based on the black phone's principle of equivalent exchange, there was definitely something good inside the Wheel of Misfortune.
But the problem was, even he was afraid of his luck in a certain aspect. What if he really got another love letter?
If the two Specters fought, they might really split him evenly. It would not be the kind of split where one, three, and five would go to the eastern palace, and two, four, and six would go to the western palace. Instead, his body would be neatly and symmetrically split in half.
An image appeared in Chen Ge's mind — two Specters holding bloodied knives, arguing over who the head and torso belonged to.
I can't afford to mess with them.
Putting the thought of the Wheel of Misfortune aside, Chen Ge turned to the other reward — the broken Midnight Ticket Counter.
His Haunted House had never had a dedicated ticket counter. After all, before he obtained the black phone, the Haunted House only had about ten visitors a week, so there was no need to build a ticket counter.
The black phone has helped me solve one problem, but what does it mean by there is a one in a thousand chance of attracting a special visitor? Does this special visitor refer to a ghost?
Chen Ge purposely ran to the Haunted House's entrance to take a look. The fence was still the same as before; there was nothing out of the ordinary. Probably the same as when I unlocked the Murder by Midnight scenario.
With the mission completed and the reward received, Chen Ge did not care about that anymore.
He cleaned up as he waited for the arrival of midnight. Even though the mirror monster had been dealt with, that did not mean that the decreasing number in the mirror had disappeared.
Holding the cloth, Chen Ge rolled up his sleeves and cleaned up the fake blood on the bathroom wall.
He was in a hurry to clean up the fake blood because there had been a small incident that afternoon. A visitor had needed to use the toilet inside the Haunted House, and Chen Ge had led him to the bathroom. When he opened the door, the man saw the fake blood on the wall and did not dare to enter. He had carried the fake blood and ran out of the Haunted House. In the end, his face had turned green.
Scare people where you need to scare people, and provide good service where you don't need to scare people — that was something Chen Ge's father had once told him, and he had remembered it.
At around 11 pm, Chen Ge had cleaned up all the fake blood and fixed the bathroom door. After that, he stood before the mirror with his phone.
He glanced at his profile page. His number of fans was increasing, and his videos were being shared by many people. In fact, he had even been approached by advertisers.
I need to focus on my livestream and short videos as well. Those are my main means of promotion.
