February 15th …
Thriller Hostel …
Pei Qian, who had been stabbed in the back by his beloved employees on Valentine's Day, had not completely recovered. He even had the idea of arranging a Thriller Hostel experience for all his employees.
However, considering that the project was not perfect at the moment, he gave up on the idea.
He would let them go for now. He would settle the score with them after the three projects of Thriller Hostel were completed!
When the time came, he would arrange for all the employees to experience Boss Pei's love for them!
At that moment, Chen Kangtuo was introducing the completion of the second major project of Thriller Hostel to Pei Qian.
"Boss Pei, the six small projects in the initial plan have been completed. The pulleys under the containers can be randomly combined and moved under the control of the mechanism so that players would not be able to guess what the next project would be.
"The difficulty of the second major project is moderate. It is mainly used to test players' psychological endurance. Before entering, they have to completely memorize the requirements of all the projects and accurately complete all the requirements even if the order of the small projects is disrupted. Only then would they be considered to have passed and qualified for the challenge of the third major project.
"Of course, unless players give up themselves. All players can experience the entire project without being asked to leave immediately if they fail.
"According to your requirements, Boss Pei, the cost of experiencing the second major project is set at 30 yuan, which is equivalent to the price of each small project being only 5 yuan. I personally think this price may be a little too low.
"The plans for the first and third projects are being done as soon as possible. We expect them to officially start this week. However, the construction period for these two projects will be longer. Optimistically, it will be at least May or June next year.
"If the quality of the project cannot meet the requirements by then, there is a possibility of further delay."
Pei Qian nodded. "Good job.
"In addition, don't worry about the price because Thriller Hostel is mainly profitable through the third project.
"We will officially open for business after all three projects are completed. Don't worry, prioritize the quality and safety of the project."
From the looks of it, the haunted house project would definitely not be completed during this settlement cycle. It could only be delayed.
Fortunately, this settlement cycle allowed for one uncompleted project so that settlement would not be affected.
Moreover, this way, Pei Qian could invest all the excess funds into the Thriller Hostel project, greatly easing the pressure of having sufficient funds before settlement.
Of course, this investment looked unlimited on the surface, but it was actually still limited.
The delayed projects had to be completed before the next settlement, which meant that the project couldn't be too big.
Take the Thriller Hostel project for example. Pei Qian could spend all the excess System Funds on it, but the more money he spent, the more work it would take, and the longer it would take to complete it.
If the next settlement cycle was only three months, and the Thriller Hostel had not officially opened for business after three months, it would cause a delay in settlement.
Therefore, Pei Qian had to consider this invisible limit when he continued to throw money at Thriller Hostel. He could not just focus on the present and ignore the long-term.
In addition, since he had already chosen Thriller Hostel as a project that could not be completed for this cycle, all the other projects, including the cell phone and games, had to be completed.
Pei Qian looked at the time. The lab rat should be arriving soon.
Indeed, not long after, Boss Li's car arrived outside the Thriller Hostel.
"Boss Pei." Li Shi walked over to shake Boss Pei's hand, beaming.
Pei Qian invited him to visit Thriller Hostel yesterday, and Li Shi agreed without hesitation.
He had two main purposes for coming this time. One was to inspect the investment environment around the haunted house, and the other was to find out Boss Pei's opinion on Dream Realization Ventures' attitude towards' Top Student, Come Quick 'and whether they were going to run away.
Pei Qian smiled and shook hands with Boss Li. "Boss Li, it must have been hard for you to come all the way here. Come, have a cup of tea first."
Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong had been keeping an eye on the progress of the project, so they had built a small office in advance. Snacks, drinks, tea, and so on were naturally available, very much in line with the Tengda spirit.
Boss Li sat down on the single-seater sofa and sipped his tea as he sighed. "I remember Boss Pei saying before that he wanted me to be the first customer of the haunted house. I didn't expect the haunted house to progress so quickly. It's very in line with Tengda's' efficiency '. "
Pei Qian thought silently. Hmm … strictly speaking, Boss Li, you're not the first customer. After all, Ruan Guangjian had already experienced three of the small projects.
However, Boss Li, you're the first person to completely experience the second big project, so it should not be wrong to say that you're the first customer.
Pei Qian sipped his tea and corrected Li Shi. "This is only the second big project of the Thriller Hostel. More than half of the project has just started, and it can't officially start operation for now.
"What's more, this is not 'Tengda's efficiency'. Tengda has never sought to be fast. It only strives for perfection within a limited time.
"Perfection …" Li Shi pondered for a moment and asked a very serious question. "So, are the projects inside scary?"
"Ahem." Pei Qian coughed lightly and glanced at Chen Kangtuo who was standing at the side. "How should I put this? It varies from person to person. You'll only know after you experience it."
Chen Kangtuo handed the list of projects to Boss Li. "These are the actions to be completed in the project. Please take a look and remember them."
Li Shi took the piece of paper and glanced at the content on it. He could not help but raise his eyebrows.
There were a few simple lines of explanation on it:
"Visitors can terminate the challenge at any time if they feel unwell."
"Remember all the steps and execute them accurately during the challenge. You will be qualified to challenge the third project of the Thriller Hostel after completing the entire process."
"You can continue to experience the entire process even if the steps are wrong if you want to."
"There is no time limit for memorizing the steps."
"Special note: The order of the following six projects will be randomly disrupted during the challenge. Please do not memorize them mechanically."
Below were the names of the six projects and the challenge items that needed to be completed for each project.
There were basically about five to seven challenge items, and they were related to each other to a certain extent. It was not difficult to memorize.
For example, the bathroom project:
1. Lock the bathroom door.
2. Pick up the red candle on the floor and light it.
3. Place the candle in front of the mirror, blindfold your eyes for three seconds, and look into the mirror.
4. Turn on the tap and wash your hands.
5. Lie in the bathtub and press the timer. Cover your eyes with both hands until the timer stops.
The challenge items were basically focused on the three locations: the door, the bathroom mirror, and the bathtub. The order was from the outside to the inside. It would only take two to three minutes to memorize them if one's mind was clear.
Of course, considering that the order of all the small projects would be disrupted, it would take at least half an hour to memorize all the projects.
Li Shi quickly browsed through the requirements of all the small projects and fell silent.
It seemed … not as scary as he had imagined.
When Li Shi came, he originally had the mentality of facing death calmly.
That was because he knew that Boss Pei would definitely make the haunted house project especially scary given his character of striving to be perfect in everything he did!
However, after seeing this list, it was slightly different from what he had expected.
At present, the scariest haunted houses basically had two characteristics. One was the long process, and the other was a large number of staff interacting with visitors.
However, this project in Thriller Hostel was the opposite.
It could be seen from the projects on this piece of paper that each of these challenges did not take long. It might end in five to eight minutes. All of them added up to about half an hour to forty minutes.
Moreover, it seemed like there was basically no such thing as' staff pretending to be ghosts to catch people '.
That made Boss Li feel more at ease.
It seemed like this project was mainly to qualify for the third challenge, so the degree of horror was moderate.
At that thought, Li Shi felt a little more confident.
At first, he had thought that if this project was too scary, he would not experience it and think of other ways to get information from Boss Pei.
However, now that this project was not so scary, he could make a little fuss about it.
"Boss Pei, can I change to another reward if I persist through the whole process? The 'qualification for the third challenge' is completely meaningless to me, "Li Shi asked.
Pei Qian nodded. "Of course, what reward do you want, Boss Li? Why don't I give you a lifetime VIP of Thriller Hostel so that you can come and experience it for free at any time? "
Li Shi's face darkened. "What do I want that for?! Do I have a death wish?
"Ahem, how about this? Boss Pei, can you tell me the truth about 'Top Student, Come Quick' if I'm lucky enough to persist in this project? Is Dream Realization Ventures going to cash out and run away?"
Pei Qian laughed in his heart. Boss Li's request was exactly what he wanted.
Even if Boss Li did not take the initiative to ask, Pei Qian had intended to leak some information to him.
"No problem," Pei Qian agreed immediately.
Li Shi raised his thumb. "Good! Boss Pei is really straightforward! I'll go in and experience it now. Boss Pei, don't go back on your word. "
Both of them had their own ulterior motives. Li Shi carefully recited the requirements written on the piece of paper. After about fifteen minutes, he silently recited it a few times and finally remembered it all.
"I'm ready." Li Shi stood up.
Pei Qian nodded. "Boss Li, please."
Li Shi confidently walked towards the entrance of the second project and entered with his head held high.
"You say you're afraid, but your steps are very firm … Boss Li, don't tell me you're like Ruan Guangjian, pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger?"
Pei Qian suddenly lost confidence in the Thriller Hostel project.
However, just as he walked to the surveillance screen, he heard a tragic scream coming from inside.
"Ah!!!!"
He looked at the surveillance screen again. Boss Li, who had just entered for less than a minute, fell to the ground, his hands desperately rubbing the back of his neck.
Pei Qian noticed that the first project that Boss Li randomly entered was' ceiling '.
When entering the room, visitors had to bend down to pick up a broken notebook under the table. At that moment, a drop of water would fall from the ceiling and drip on the back of the visitor's neck.
The visitors would subconsciously raise their heads and see that one of the boards on the ceiling had been moved away. On it was a head with eyes wide open and tears of blood flowing out of it.
Obviously, Boss Li saw this head when he looked up and was so frightened that he screamed and retreated. After falling to the ground, he subconsciously wanted to wipe the 'blood' dripping from the back of his neck.
Pei Qian was relieved to see this.
"It looks like there's no problem with the horror level of Thriller Hostel. It's Ruan Guangjian …"
