Starting with a haunted house to create a thrilling game arena

Chapter 136: The Crowd Before the Tournament

Western suburbs of Hanjiang City.

New Century Paradise.

The crows returned to the haunted house. It was just dawn. When Zhang Ze returned to the haunted house, he saw Uncle Xu in the waiting hall, instructing the workers to move goods and directing the installation of something.

It looked like a big screen, perfectly positioned in the center of the hall. All the seats were refurbished, and even awnings, large fans, and central air conditioning were specially arranged.

"Did Director Luo approve the funding?" Zhang Ze walked up to Uncle Xu. "I'm flattered that he's going to renovate the infrastructure."

Uncle Xu couldn't hide his smile. "Don't be modest, Xiao Zhang. Thanks to you, our park's revenue has increased by 30-40% year-on-year recently!"

"Director Luo not only allocated funds specifically to help you organize the competition, but also considered reforming our fee system and planned to launch a package ticket."

"Regular visitors need to buy tickets to enter the park, and they also need to buy tickets to play in the haunted house. Many people come to the park specifically to experience the haunted house, so buying two tickets is not cost-effective. Therefore, we simply launched a haunted house combo ticket."

"It's 70 yuan per person, one ticket for both your haunted house and Xiao Chen's haunted house. Additional scenes will cost extra, you decide. How about it?"

Uncle Xu suddenly made this suggestion.

It happened several months earlier than in the original story.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ze realized it was a bundled sale.

It's obvious that he's planning a major haunted house event, and many tourists have been repeatedly experiencing the scenes recently. If they can be bundled together, it can not only increase the visitor traffic to Zhang Ze's haunted house, but also boost the traffic to Chen Ge's haunted house.

Visitors can experience the haunted house for two at a time.

Zhang Ze represents business, Chen Ge represents life.

Yes, that shows a good business sense.

"I have no objection."

"Where is our Comrade Chen?"

"Xiao Chen, although he didn't explicitly agree, he didn't raise any objections either, which means it's open to discussion."

"Besides, although his haunted house is developing rapidly, its visitor traffic still can't compare to yours. We've decided to focus on you. If it can bring some brand recognition, that would be even better."

After listening to what Uncle Xu had to say.

Zhang Ze understood the plans for New Century Amusement Park.

With haunted houses as its core selling point, his haunted house and Chen Ge's haunted house complement each other, forming a triangular structure to create a city of horror and suspense!

This blueprint should have been drawn up after the events of Liwan Town, or even after Zhang Wenyu's appearance and the cursed hospital.

But now, thanks to Zhang Ze's sudden emergence, New Century Park has taken the lead in launching this plan, and the benefits of productivity development have become apparent.

"The operation of various IPs surrounding the haunted house is progressing steadily. Bai Xiaoxiao's filming team is shooting short dramas, and I have also invested in the Mystery Case Tracking Studio to do public relations work."

"It's fair to say that aside from content production, I personally handled all the other miscellaneous tasks."

"Even Chen Ge in the normal timeline couldn't do that!"

Zhang Ze couldn't help but sigh.

It's fortunate that he's already dead. Dead people don't need rest; burning until they rot is enough. Chen Ge is still limited by the energy limit of a living person. Unless he stops being human like Chen Ge, he can't catch up with Zhang Ze's progress.

Its daybreak.

Visitors entered the park one after another.

The electronic display screen in the waiting hall lit up.

The image above shows Zhang Ze's haunted house and Chen Ge's haunted house.

Zhang Ze's Haunted House: Crow's Nest, Midnight Police Station, Midnight Bell, Second Ward...

Chen Ge's Haunted House: Fu'an Apartment, Muyang Middle School, Third Ward...

Zhang Ze even saw some small vendors.

Carrying various homemade souvenirs, such as replica videotapes and crow dolls, he found a perfect spot to hawk his wares.

This scene.

It's estimated that in a while, we'll see street performers dressed as Sun Wukong taking photos with tourists for 10 yuan a photo.

Shen Yue also woke up.

After washing up, I stood in my seat and began my workday.

The first group of tourists.

Zhang Ze first spotted a group of young men and women, led by the stunningly beautiful Gao Ruxue, surrounded by other students from Hanjiang City Forensic Medical College, including the shy Heshan, the inquisitive Liu Xianxian, Ma Ying, and others.

"Boss Zhang, we're here to experience your haunted house!"

Shen Yue glanced at Gao Ruxue, and her eyes widened in surprise.

"Holy crap! How come she's so well-developed?!"

"If you smoked two fewer cigarettes and went out less during your growth period, you could have developed to this size."

Zhang Ze greeted Gao Ruxue and the others with a smile.

They were among the first groups to visit.

"This time we're going to experience a crow's nest."

"The crow's nest is the foundation of all scenes. As long as you understand the terrain of the crow's nest, you can accurately find the location of the midnight police station and the midnight murder ring, which is crucial for saving time."

Their strategy was to abandon the second ward.

The focus is on conquering several key scenes inside the crow's nest.

"Boss Zhang, could you please tell me the specific score for each small scene?"

"No, that depends on your performance and the situation on site," Zhang Ze replied. "But don't worry, I will personally referee on the day of the competition to ensure absolute fairness."

"Okay~"

The professional team from Hanjiang City Forensic Medicine College has departed.

Next up are the other teams.

Zhang Ze saw many familiar faces, some of whom were even repeat visitors who had visited seven or eight times. Some were even addicted to the bizarre and wonderful environment behind the door, checking in every day.

He then spotted another familiar group.

"Qin Guang, Fei Youliang, zombie man?"

"You guys really dare to come again?"

Appearing in front of Zhang Ze was the Avengers, also known as the anchor team, composed of Qin Guang and several others. There were even several cameras filming them live next to the ticket booth.

"This terrifying major, the championship is definitely mine."

"Watch how I, the Human Emperor, outmaneuver your killer!"

Butcher?

Zhang Ze's mind went blank for a moment, but he quickly realized that what the person said was actually true; in each of his scenes, there was actually a staff member playing the role of a butcher.

Lingling at the Crow's Nest.

Zhang Peng from the midnight police station.

Sadako from The Ring.

Dr. Yang, the doctor who uses electrocution in the second ward.

"Then you'd better pray you don't get caught, because if you do, you're out of the game immediately." Zhang Ze chuckled as he watched the group buy their tickets and go inside.

Zhang Ze also noticed some suspicious individuals among the other teams, who looked like people from Tian Teng Hospital, but he didn't pay them any further attention.

A busy day has come to an end.

Today marks the fifth day since Zhang Ze announced the Haunted House Major.

Two days left.

"Still haven't seen Su Ren and Gao Jian."

"Are they really planning to clear my haunted house on their first try?"

Zhang Ze specifically asked Feng Xiaomin, and all the surveillance footage did not capture anyone matching Gao Jian's image. Zhang Ze suspected that Gao Jian might not have scouted the location in advance.

Forget it.

If Gao Jian dares to cause trouble.

Zhang Ze will let him know that he is not someone to be trifled with.

The day of the competition determined the future development path of New Century Park.

No one is allowed to interfere.

Whether it's the Ghost Stories Association, the Tianfeng Hospital, or Gao Jian, Zhang Ze must suppress them in their infancy.

Free time.

Zhang Ze opened William's Diary.
