Chapter 68 Midnight Ticket Counter



Before going to West City Private School last night, Chen Ge had looked at today's three daily tasks. The simple task was to check for safety hazards, the normal difficulty task was to find a suitable site to expand the haunted house, and the last nightmare level task was to find the other person living in the room.

Looking through the black phone, if he wanted to maximize the benefits, he would definitely have to choose the nightmare-level mission. However, based on his previous two experiences, nightmare missions had specific time requirements, probably around midnight or early morning. Once this time was missed, the mission would most likely be considered an automatic failure.

"There's no need to gamble. It's better to be safe." Chen Ge clicked on the screen and received the daily task of normal difficulty.

“Normal difficulty mission: You have been given the opportunity to expand the haunted house. Please find a suitable site for expansion as soon as possible!”

This was the first time that Chen Ge’s horror house was being expanded. He didn’t know how to operate it, and there was no clue when he asked the black phone.

"There's not even a tutorial for beginners, so I can only figure it out on my own." Chen Ge looked at the horror house panel again, and two places caught his attention.

The column for ghost team members is still empty****, which means that Zhang Ya and Yin Xiaoxiao have not become members of the horror house.

It might be because Yin Xiaoxiao's favorability was not high enough. As for Zhang Ya, let alone letting her join the horror house, Chen Ge would be satisfied if he only asked her not to think about killing herself every day.

The second place that caught Chen Ge's attention was the column for the expansion conditions of the haunted house. The original gray text turned red. After touching it, a line of words appeared on the phone screen - "Please select the location of the door."

"It turns red, which means it can be activated. As for the location of the door..."

Chen Ge rented the entire underground parking lot, which had a very large space. However, the disadvantage was that the gate of the parking lot was outside the park, making it inconvenient to run back and forth. So he planned to build a passage in the haunted house that led directly to the underground.

In an amusement park, underground buildings are not allowed near large entertainment facilities such as roller coasters and Ferris wheels, but the haunted house is not included due to its remote location. There is a parking lot under Chen Ge's house.

Holding the black phone, Chen Ge came to the entrance of the Zombie Resurrection Night on the first floor. After the two one-star horror scenes of Ghost Marriage and Midnight Escape, the Zombie Resurrection Night was rarely used anymore.

"The door is next to Zombie Resurrection Night. If the venue is not enough in the future, Zombie Resurrection Night can be replaced." Chen Ge was very thoughtful. He used a carbon pen to circle an area on the floor next to Zombie Resurrection Night. After drawing, he suddenly realized that he had no way to communicate with the black phone. Since he got the black phone, he has been passively receiving tasks and rewards.

"Did I miss something?" Chen Ge flipped the page again. When he tried to double-click the phone desktop, the haunted house pattern that originally served as the background slowly enlarged. Its structure was exactly the same as his own horror house, including the horror scenes inside and the room layout.

“Is this the choice?”

Chen Ge found the zombie resurrection night scene on the desktop and clicked on a piece of ground next to it. A message instantly popped up on the phone screen: "Are you sure about the door's location?"

"Sure."

"Please select the direction of expansion."

"down."

After making the choice, the desktop returned to normal, and Chen Ge received several message prompts in succession.

"Keep expanding so that your horror house can accommodate more homeless souls and receive more screams. Congratulations on completing the normal difficulty daily task and getting the task reward - a free horror spin!"

"The site has been selected and the first expansion has been successful. Congratulations on obtaining the special building - Midnight Ticket Counter (Incomplete)!"

"Midnight Ticket Counter (Incomplete): There is a one in a thousand chance of attracting special 'tourists'. They are different and may be able to help you."

Chen Ge read every piece of information on the black phone very carefully. The daily task rewarded him with a chance to spin the wheel. The uncertainty of this reward was too great. Collecting one hundred screams would redeem one chance to draw a lottery. According to the principle of equivalent exchange of the black phone, it was certain that there would be good stuff in the wheel.

But the key point is that his luck in some aspects even scares himself. What if he really pulls out another love letter?

If the two evil spirits started fighting, they might really divide him in half. Not the way one, three, and five go to the East Palace, and two, four, and six go to the West Palace, but they would divide his body neatly and symmetrically in half.

Chen Ge even had a picture in his mind: two evil spirits holding bloody knives, arguing fiercely over the ownership of the head and torso.

"I can't afford to offend you. I can't afford to offend you."

Without considering the lottery for the time being, Chen Ge looked at another reward - the incomplete midnight ticket counter.

His haunted house has never had a dedicated ticket counter. After all, before the horror house obtained the black phone, only a dozen people visited it a week at most, so there was no need to build a ticket counter.

"The black phone did help me solve a problem, but what does it mean that there is a one in a thousand chance of attracting a special tourist? Does this special tourist refer to a ghost?"

Chen Ge ran to the door of the haunted house and took a look. The area near the guardrail was still the same as before, with no abnormalities. "I guess it will be the same as the last time I unlocked the midnight escape scene. It will not appear until after midnight."

Mission accomplished, rewards received, Chen Ge no longer cared about it.

While cleaning, he waited for the arrival of midnight or early morning. Although the monster in the mirror had been eliminated, it did not mean that the gradually decreasing numbers in the mirror had disappeared.

Holding a rag, Chen Ge rolled up his sleeves and roughly cleaned the artificial plasma on the bathroom wall.

He was in a hurry to clean up the plasma because a small accident happened this afternoon. A tourist had to go to the bathroom urgently. After Chen Ge took him to the bathroom, as soon as he opened the door, the guy saw the wall full of plasma and didn't dare to go in. He ran out of the haunted house with his face turned green.

Be scary where it should be scary, and be attentive where it shouldn't be scary. This is what Chen Ge's father once said to him, and he has always kept it in mind.

At around eleven o'clock in the evening, Chen Ge cleaned up all the plasma and repaired the bathroom door. After doing this, he stood in front of the mirror with his phone.

I casually took a look at his short video personal homepage and found that his number of fans is increasing. The short videos he shot have also been widely reposted, and even advertisers have found him.

"It is also necessary to manage short videos and live broadcasts well, which are my main means of promotion."

Counting the time, when it was 11:59 pm, Chen Ge put away his phone and stood in front of the mirror. Just like the first time he did the nightmare mission, he locked the door and turned off all the lights in the room.
