145: Underground scene, water ghost boatman

Song Yang wasn't boasting; he was speaking the truth.

During his last livestream, his livestream room had already reached hundreds of thousands of viewers!

Hearing his words, Dai Xiaomei, who was beside him, also reacted and quickly raised her hand to show her loyalty.

Like Song Yang, if she had only vaguely sensed the promising future of Tianfeng Haunted House before, now the Tianfeng Haunted House practically had the words 'I will go viral' written all over its face!

Li Zhou's words just now held considerable appeal for her!

If she could secure exclusive livestreaming rights in the future, then Dai Xiaomei would truly experience a second spring in her career!

Moreover, it was possible that Tianfeng Haunted House could elevate her livestreaming career to an unprecedented height!

At this moment, only Mozi was still somewhat conflicted.

There was nothing she could do; the fright from Tianfeng Haunted House was simply too immense for her.

It wasn't that she hadn't considered the benefits; it was mainly that her mind was a bit muddled and she hadn't fully processed it.

Dai Xiaomei was truly worried about her good friend.

Seeing her absent-minded look, she immediately spoke on her behalf, stating that the three of them would definitely have a good livestream today!

"Hehe, Chen Ze, Chen Ze, you should have come today!"

"If you want to come again in the future, you'll have to beg me!"

All of Song Yang's previous grievances towards Li Zhou vanished at this moment.

He even wished he could prostrate himself and call Li Zhou 'Big Brother'!

Don't let Li Zhou's casual demeanor fool you; he was very aware of the immense profits involved!

It was no exaggeration to say that if Li Zhou really granted him and Dai Xiaomei livestreaming permissions, the two of them could make a fortune with just that privilege!

Among the players queuing outside just now, there were quite a few small Streamers.

These small Streamers had limited influence and might not bring him much profit.

However!

Song Yang believed that from today onwards, all the big Streamers would be scrambling to get in!

Are you kidding? They were still in the entrance area!

If the main entrance was like this, what about the inside?!

Song Yang wasn't sure about the entire country, as he had seriously looked into it.

However, he could guarantee one hundred percent that, apart from size, all other Haunted Houses in the entire province couldn't compare to Li Zhou's amazing one!

After Li Zhou finished arranging everything, he walked alone along the platform towards the depths of the Haunted House.

He didn't plan to start a livestream today.

Too many livestream rooms could sometimes not be a good thing.

His words just now were merely a test to see if these guys had any long-term livestreaming intentions.

It seemed that Song Yang and Dai Xiaomei were quite loyal to the Haunted House.

As for Mozi...

Li Zhou didn't pay too much attention to her.

He estimated that after this livestream, she would also beg him to let her stay.

The Haunted House had undergone an almost complete overhaul this time.

All the venues and facilities had been renovated, leaving no trace of their former appearance.

Naturally, the danger level had also quietly increased significantly.

Therefore, Li Zhou had to go to the monitoring room to oversee everything.

Today was the first day after the renovation, and no mistakes could be made.

After all, the fright value needed for the next upgrade was enormous, and the Haunted House was unlikely to undergo any major changes for a long time.

Because it was located in the suburbs, the Haunted House occupied a very large area, so there was no need to worry about crowding or insufficient space.

The platform underfoot was almost fifty meters long.

This distance, if outside, could be seen clearly from end to end.

However, inside the Haunted House, anything beyond ten meters was almost impossible to see.

Li Zhou had also replaced all the previous light sources.

Above, individual glowing ore stones now cast a faint glow.

The color wasn't a vivid crimson but rather a pale white, giving a sense of solitude.

Upon reaching the end of the platform, a descending staircase came into view!

The staircase still stretched out of sight, as if leading straight to the deepest parts of the earth!

This staircase was also deliberately arranged by Li Zhou.

Mainly, he couldn't explain the renovations in many parts of the Haunted House.

So, he could only put these venues underground and, incidentally, create a descending staircase.

However, living areas like the restrooms and employee dormitories hadn't disappeared.

They had simply all been moved further back.

Li Zhou planned to separate the above-ground and underground areas in the future.

Above ground could have some individual venues, while underground could have interconnected venues.

Walking down the staircase for several minutes, he reached the bottom.

What greeted his eyes was a completely pitch-black underground river!

The river wasn't rapid; instead, it was very calm, even stagnant, without a single ripple.

It was like a still lake surface.

The current location was not far from the Howling Abyss.

Looking up, one could still faintly see the platform from which he had come, suspended above.

At the bottom of the staircase was a small platform, and at the edge of the platform, a small wooden boat was docked.

On the wooden boat, a soaking wet figure was standing.

"Boss!"

Upon seeing Li Zhou, the figure quickly stepped off the boat and came to Li Zhou's side.

He looked up, and a terrifying face came into view.

His swollen features looked as if they had been soaked in water for several years.

His eyes were misaligned, his nose was crooked, and in his mouth, one could even clearly see maggots wriggling, as if they would crawl out at any second.

Additionally, when the fellow opened his mouth, a wisp of green smoke could be clearly seen drifting out, emitting a foul stench.

"Good, keep it up!"

"But remember, just create a Corpse Beetle smell; don't actually produce Corpse Beetles."

"Guests should be coming down soon; remember to serve them well!"

Looking at the water ghost in front of him, Li Zhou nodded in satisfaction and reached out to pat his shoulder.

Although the water ghost appeared soaking wet on the surface, when he patted him, his hand didn't get wet at all.

That's right, the appearance of the water ghost in front of him was also fake.

Initially, his true appearance wasn't like this at all.

But Li Zhou found him not scary enough on land and was ready to replace him with other employees to serve as the Boatman NPC.

The water ghost had finally gotten a job; how could he let someone else take his place?

He immediately changed his appearance and, like a zombie, even produced a bit of Corpse Beetle stench.

"Don't worry, Boss, I will definitely work hard!"

Hearing Li Zhou's words, the water ghost immediately nodded.

"Alright, take me to the monitoring room."

Li Zhou got on the boat and said to the water ghost.

"Okay!"

The water ghost immediately followed him onto the boat and skillfully picked up a bamboo pole to push the boat forward.

With his actions, the small boat immediately glided forward.

At the same time, under the river surface, groups of shadowy figures began to swim around.

Upon closer inspection, one could discover that these shadowy figures were actually creatures resembling Corpse Beetles!
