118: Job application

In the following days, thanks to the clarification videos posted by Chen Ze and Li Zhou, the Haunted House's business got better and better.

Because of Red Spirit's actions, many netizens became increasingly curious about Tianfeng Haunted House.

Players from all over the country continuously came to visit, drawn by its reputation.

Although livestreaming was not allowed, new videos related to Tianfeng Haunted House were posted daily on TikTok.

In the first few days, the players who came to the Haunted House were mostly pure thrill-seekers and adventurers, largely focused on clearing the levels, so very few of them recorded anything.

But players who came in the subsequent days treated Tianfeng Haunted House like a popular photo spot.

For example, players entering the castle didn't first think about how to clear it; instead, they took out their phones and started taking photos and videos.

There were even players who posted first-person videos of their castle challenges online.

Precisely because of this, although the rate of increase in fright value slowed down considerably in recent days, it still brought in at least a million fright value daily.

At its peak, it could even reach two million.

"I've almost accumulated ten million fright value. It wasn't easy," Li Zhou said.

Early in the morning, Li Zhou opened the Haunted House's doors as usual.

As always, a group of players had already been waiting for a long time.

After entrusting these people to Fang Xiaolu, Li Zhou leisurely went to the monitoring room.

Looking at the fright value displayed on the system panel, he nodded in satisfaction.

He had now accumulated over 8.9 million fright value.

After today, he estimated it would surpass ten million tomorrow.

If he was lucky, it might even happen today.

"It seems the Haunted House's reputation isn't strong enough yet."

"At the very least, it needs to become truly famous nationwide."

After closing the system panel, Li Zhou suddenly seemed to think of something and murmured.

He knew that it had taken a lot of time just to upgrade to Level 4.

Although he didn't know how high the Haunted House's level could go, the fright value needed to upgrade from Level 4 to Level 5 would likely be an astronomical figure.

Although the Haunted House was famous on TikTok now, it hadn't truly achieved nationwide attention.

After all, the number of players was only a few hundred a day.

Which truly popular tourist spot or venue doesn't easily attract thousands or even tens of thousands of visitors daily?

"Boss, are you in?"

Just as Li Zhou was wondering if there were other ways to make the Haunted House famous besides having Streamers livestream, a head suddenly poked in from outside the door.

Dai Xiaomei glanced at the monitoring room and quickly spotted Li Zhou sitting in front of the monitor screens.

"I've been looking for you for ages. So you were hiding here."

Upon seeing Li Zhou, Dai Xiaomei immediately walked over with a smile.

"Is there something?"

Li Zhou asked curiously, looking at the smile on Dai Xiaomei's face.

These past few days, Dai Xiaomei's life had been quite comfortable.

Since her livestream room was blocked, she had nothing much to do.

Fang Xiaolu handled the player reception, and Red Spirit occasionally helped, so she wasn't needed at all.

Every day, she just idled around the Haunted House like a loafer, her favorite pastime being to stake out outside the castle and enjoy the disheveled appearance of players emerging from it.

"Of course there's something if I'm looking for you."

"Do you remember what you told me before?"

Dai Xiaomei walked up to Li Zhou, looked at the monitoring screen, and said with a smile, her hands clasped behind her back.

A faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils, Li Zhou's expression remained unchanged, but his eyebrows subtly raised.

What he said before?

After a moment of recollection, he quickly seemed to remember something, and a smile appeared on his face as well.

"Resolved it?"

"With me on the job, is there anything that can't be resolved?" Dai Xiaomei said, tilting her head, looking very proud.

Previously, Li Zhou had approached her and asked for a small favor.

Since all their livestream rooms were blocked, Li Zhou asked her if she could find some Streamers she knew to livestream at the Haunted House.

"Who did you find?"

"Do they have many followers?"

Li Zhou asked, looking at Dai Xiaomei.

"Hehe, Boss, the person I found this time is a great beauty, you know."

"I won't tell you who it is yet; she's expected to arrive tonight."

Dai Xiaomei smiled mysteriously, not revealing the identity.

Hearing this, Li Zhou nodded and didn't ask further.

He didn't care if she was a beauty; what he cared about was the number of her followers.

In the past few days, many small Streamers had come to the Haunted House to livestream, including Mao San, who had been scared before.

But small Streamers were, after all, small Streamers; the traffic they brought was far less than that of Song Yang or Chen Ze.

Moreover, these small Streamers were not very brave, and each time they livestreamed, they would get too scared to continue for long.

After all, not everyone was a beast like Song Yang.

"That..."

Li Zhou was about to say that if she came in the evening, it wouldn't be too late to livestream tomorrow.

But before he could speak, his phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was Fang Xiaolu's.

He subconsciously looked up at the monitoring screen.

Outside the Haunted House, a middle-aged man in his thirties stood in front of Fang Xiaolu, looking somewhat apprehensive.

"Hello, Xiao Lu, what's wrong?"

Answering the phone, Li Zhou asked, confused, while looking at the screen.

"Boss, there's someone here looking for you," Fang Xiaolu's clear voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Looking for me?"

"Did you ask him what he wants?"

Li Zhou raised an eyebrow.

The middle-aged man's face was clearly visible on the monitoring screen, and he was certain he didn't know the man at all.

"I just asked; he said he's here to apply for some medical staff position."

"Boss, did you go out to recruit people?"

Outside the Haunted House, Fang Xiaolu looked at the middle-aged man in front of her and asked Li Zhou on the phone.

"Medical staff?"

"Tell him to wait; I'll be right out."

Hearing Fang Xiaolu's words, a hint of realization flashed in Li Zhou's eyes.

After speaking, he hung up the phone, stood up, and walked out of the monitoring room.

Dai Xiaomei shrugged and followed him, watching his retreating figure.

Soon, the two arrived outside the main entrance, one after the other.

At this moment, Fang Xiaolu was guiding another group of players to sign in.

Not far from her, a middle-aged man was curiously looking around.

"Hello, I'm the owner here, Li Zhou."

Li Zhou didn't waste time.

After coming out, he went straight to the man and extended his hand.

"Ah... Hello, Boss, my name is Wang Lin."

Wang Lin, who was curiously observing the Haunted House, was first startled when he heard Li Zhou's words.

He quickly regained his composure and hurriedly extended his hand to shake Li Zhou's.

What a young boss!

Wang Lin's eyes flashed with surprise as he looked at Li Zhou, who had a faint smile on his face.

Before coming, he had been wondering who the owner of this Haunted House was.

As far as he knew, apart from large-scale Haunted Houses, typical Haunted House venues wouldn't be equipped with medical personnel.

Although Tianfeng Haunted House seemed to cover a considerable area, it wasn't famous in Jinling.

Did such a Haunted House really need an employee like him?
