Chapter 0070 – Special Visitors
”The midnight ticket counter is still in a state of disrepair, the method of repair is unknown, and this black cell phone always makes something strange.” Chen Ge drilled out of the ticket counter, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it didn’t look like it was meant for the living.
”Boss!”
At the entrance of the Paradise, Xu Wan trotted over in her civilian clothes, and she was carrying a hot bun in her hand.
Seeing the energetic Xu Wan, Chen Ge’s mood brightened up a lot, this girl was a bit nervous and occasionally confused and made mistakes, but she was naturally infectious and could make people feel the sunshine and beauty of life.
Receiving the bun in Xu Wan’s hand, Chen Ge was not polite and took a big bite, “Why did you come so early today?”
”Boss, look!” Xu Wan sat on the steps next to Chen Ge and took out her cell phone and flipped through it, inside was a text report about the Ping An Apartment extermination case and a downloaded news video, “All of them are talking about you, it feels like you’re about to be on the hot search!”
”Let me take a look.” Chen Ge looked at the reports, he didn’t expect that yesterday’s interview, which was just going through the motions, would cause so many people to pay attention to it, “It’s a pity.”
”What’s a pity? I think it’s quite good.” Xu Wan sat next to him, probably because of the run she just did, her face flushed.
”At that time, I was so worried about the bounty that I forgot that this was also a good publicity opportunity!” He flipped the screen with a meaty face, “If I had known that so many people would be watching, I would have said anything to interrupt Team Yan’s speech and advertise our haunted house! Look at these reports, they’re not true at all, they didn’t even divulge the exact location of our haunted house! Xiaowan, I’m going to give you a task today, in a moment, we’ll go to the comments section of all the reports and identify ourselves, leave the address of the house of horrors, and all those who come to read the reports will get a 20% discount.”
”Not too good.” Xu Wan was a bit embarrassed, but in the end, she went to leave a comment as Chen Ge said.
The park opened at nine o’clock, and the two put away their cell phones and got ready to work.
Opening the guardrail, Xu Wan didn’t notice the ticket counter standing in the center until then.
”Did you make this last night?”
”Yeah, it’s a bit ugly, but it’s practical.”
”En En, I also think we should have a ticket counter.”
Seeing Xu Wan nodding her head in a serious manner, Chen Ge sighed in his heart, this was really a good employee who never contradicted himself.
Entering the haunted house, Xu Wan went to the dressing room to fix her makeup, Chen Ge dragged out a few wooden boards from the props room and covered the entrance of the underground passage, the new trial scene had not yet been opened, so this place could not be used for the time being.
Two people are ready to start today’s business, not yet to the peak season, the haunted house entrance has been lined up, although not long, but with the previous than that is really a qualitative leap.
Xu Wan pretended to be a ghost in the wedding scene, and Chen Ge carried a make-up box, selling tickets and collecting money while playing the role of a homicidal maniac in the midnight escape scene.
Two people to maintain the large haunted house is very hard, it is worth mentioning, the midnight escape scene, small occasionally and tourists will surprise interaction, this super fierce muppet, seems to especially like to follow the living, so Chen Ge is a little worried, afraid that one day she will be abducted by the tourists.
It had been busy until noon before the two of them cleared out, Chen Ge opened his black cell phone to check, no matter whether it was the favorable reviews or the number of tourists, it was not far from the second expansion.
”Two scenes being handled by two people is already the limit, if we unlock new horror scenes, we’ll have to recruit new staff.” Chen Ge looked at the black cell phone, the nightmare level tasks it released every day were unreliable, but the easy and normal difficulty tasks were spot-on in pointing out the shortcomings of the horror house, and completing the tasks was improving the haunted house.
”Even the cell phone is posting quests to recruit new employees, so it seems I do need to recruit some people.” Ever since the old employees who had been with his parents for a few years left, Chen Ge had been a bit resistant to recruiting people, “If Xiao Xiao and Zhang Ya can be obedient and don’t mess around, the two of them are my best options right now.”
Of course, this idea is only in the heart to think about, really let Xiao Xiao and Zhang Ya to go to the haunted house to scare people, Xiao Xiao is okay, Zhang Ya’s side is estimated to be directly the scene of the murder.
”My haunted team members are still zero, a long way to go.” Chen Ge sat on the stairs at the entrance of the haunted house, he had to continue working in the afternoon, he was grabbing all the time he could to rest.
The sun rose above his head, and when there were fewer and fewer tourists in the middle of the day, Chen Ge’s black cell phone vibrated for no reason.
He tapped the message on the screen, and the content inside surprised him a little.
”Midnight ticket counter special effect triggered, the first special tourist appears! Please grasp this opportunity, depending on your different choices, the outcome will be completely different!”
”Special effects triggered? A one in a thousand chance of stumbling upon it, according to my past experience, what’s coming this time is definitely not something good!” Chen Ge was like an enemy, his back was straight as he scanned the surroundings of the haunted house, “The sun is shining brightly, it shouldn’t be possible for any severe ghosts to appear in this situation.”
It was the time of the day when the yang energy was at its peak and also the hottest, and there were many fewer tourists coming and going.
”Is that the quarreling couple? The woman is so pretty and the man is so ugly, so there’s probably something wrong; who’s the one who’s talking to Uncle Xu? A new employee? Why haven’t I seen it before?”
While Chen Ge was speculating, a dark and thin woman in her thirties walked over, her footsteps light.
”Could it be her?”
Chen Ge quietly observed the woman’s appearance, her skin was on the darker side, she was not tall, she smiled quietly, and she was wearing a somewhat off-color jacket.
”Hello, may I ask how much is a ticket for the haunted house?” The woman’s voice was a bit shrill, but not unpleasant.
”We have two scenes right now, for twenty dollars a ticket you can choose either one to experience.” Chen Ge had a professional smile on her face.
”Okay, let’s have two then.” The woman took out the money and handed it to Chen Ge.
”You want to experience two scenes by yourself?”
”We are two people.” The woman smiled shyly and waved at the distance, and a child who looked to be only eight or nine years old ran over from the shady ground.
The kid was somewhat neutral looking and seemed scared of life.
He stopped next to the woman and didn’t bother to hold her hand, just stood alone with an expressionless face.
”Sorry, our haunted house has an age restriction, under fourteen years old is prohibited from visiting.” Chen Ge glanced at this little boy, always feeling that he wasn’t quite the same as ordinary children, but couldn’t tell exactly where he was different.
”Can you be accommodating, this child just likes to visit haunted houses, now that there are fewer people, we can’t be seen by others if we go in, it won’t bring you trouble.”
”Such a young child likes visiting haunted houses?” Chen Ge quietly stuffed his black cell phone into his pocket and shook his head, “I’m sorry, this is the rule.”
