60: Want to team up?
Li Zhou was preparing to livestream himself.
It wasn't that he wanted to become an internet celebrity.
Mainly, he suddenly thought that if he became an outsider to livestream the Streamers entering the Haunted House, it would surely be very interesting.
This could not only increase the popularity of the Haunted House again but also earn a certain amount of fright value.
He had seen the clarification video Song Yang had previously posted; because the livestream was interrupted, almost all netizens who saw the video were extremely curious about Tianfeng Haunted House.
But at the same time, Li Zhou also noticed something.
Below Song Yang's video, many people were complaining that the livestream time was always too short.
It always interrupted the livestream at crucial moments.
It was these comments that made Li Zhou consider livestreaming himself.
Before, because the Haunted House had no popularity at all, he estimated that no one would watch his livestream.
But now it was different; because of Song Yang's repeated stunts, the Haunted House's popularity had completely soared.
Moreover, the issues mentioned in those fan comments would not happen with him at all.
Song Yang and the other's livestreams were interrupted because they were scared unconscious multiple times.
Either their phones fell to the ground and malfunctioned, or they accidentally clicked to end the broadcast themselves.
There was also a situation where the livestream content caused discomfort to viewers, leading to a forced shutdown by the Super Moderator.
He had just heard his assistant's words; since the Super Moderator had relaxed the restrictions on livestreaming in the Haunted House, he could totally set up his own livestream.
If Song Yang hadn't repeatedly shut down the livestream, the current fright value would probably have multiplied several times over!
"Boss, if you want to livestream yourself, just do it, why close the doors?"
At this moment, Song Yang suddenly interjected.
He was planning to casually drag a few unlucky players to enter the Devils Castle with him tomorrow; if it was closed, who would he drag?
"Tomorrow, I'll take you guys to experience a new venue."
"So, we won't be open for business for now."
Li Zhou said, not caring whether closing tomorrow would affect business.
As long as he had the system, why worry about the Haunted House not becoming popular?
Closing for just one day, perhaps, could even pique the greater curiosity of those players who, having seen Song Yang's video, came wanting to experience the Haunted House.
Hearing Li Zhou's words, everyone immediately became interested.
Especially Fang Xiaolu.
After hearing that business would be suspended tomorrow, she cheered inwardly.
But soon, she suddenly thought of something and asked, confused: "But Boss, I haven't seen any new venues in the Haunted House?"
Among those present, besides Li Zhou himself, she was the only one who understood the entire Haunted House best.
Throughout the day, apart from the Devils Castle, she hadn't seen any new venues appear.
"You'll know tomorrow."
Li Zhou smiled, offering no explanation.
He didn't know why, but looking at his smile, Song Yang subconsciously shivered.
He had a vague feeling that something bad might happen tomorrow.
"Alright, it's getting late, you all should get some good rest."
"Anything else, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Seeing that Song Yang seemed to want to ask more, Li Zhou waved his hand and turned to leave directly.
In the room, the four looked at his retreating back, somewhat bewildered.
"The Haunted House has new venues?"
"I don't think I saw any either."
Like Song Yang, the assistant also felt a strange premonition of something bad.
"Didn't the Boss say we'd know tomorrow?"
"Since your livestream room is fine, then I'll start my own broadcast tomorrow, okay?"
"Xiao Lu, let's go back."
Dai Xiaomei was still unaware of the seriousness of the situation.
She had undoubtedly taken the lead in clearing the Devils Castle today.
If she hadn't chosen to save Ellie at the last minute, Song Yang and the assistant might have foolishly run out with Yuan Hao and the others.
So now, Dai Xiaomei was very confident.
After dropping a few words, she pulled Fang Xiaolu and left.
In the room, only Song Yang and the assistant were left, looking at each other.
"Brother Yang, I have a bad feeling."
"The Boss's smile just now was definitely problematic; the first time we came to the Haunted House, he had that exact smile after you went in."
The assistant spoke with certainty, his tone a bit uneasy.
He still remembered that after Song Yang entered the Haunted House alone, Li Zhou had shown a similar smile to the one just now.
As a result, that time, Song Yang was almost scared to death, and he himself fainted.
"It's fine, didn't you hear the Boss say he's going to livestream himself too?"
"When the time comes, we'll just follow closely."
"Whatever danger we encounter, whatever the Boss does, we'll do the same!"
Although Song Yang also felt a bit intimidated, he was now genuinely afraid of Li Zhou.
After all, an ordinary person wouldn't be able to create such a deranged Haunted House.
However, livestreaming was definitely still necessary.
He had also noticed that quite a few of his fans were starting to complain because of frequent broadcast interruptions.
It wasn't easy to gain some popularity, so he couldn't just let it go to waste.
The night passed uneventfully.
The next day, Li Zhou woke up early.
Arriving outside the Haunted House, he, as before, changed the content on the bone signboard to "Renovation and Upgrade, Closed for One Day."
However, just as he finished modifying it, brake sounds suddenly echoed behind him.
"Coming so early?"
Li Zhou was surprised; it was only 7:30 AM.
What kind of decent person would come to a Haunted House at this hour?
Turning around, he saw a somewhat Handsome Guy, wearing glasses, stepping out of a car.
Immediately after, another rather muscular man also followed him out.
"Huh, why do these two look so familiar?"
Li Zhou raised an eyebrow, looking at the two who had rushed over so early in the morning.
Before he could think further, the young man with glasses seemed to see the content on the signboard behind him and suddenly froze.
"No way, I just arrive and it's closed? What's going on?"
"Hey, Handsome Guy, are you the owner of this shop?"
"Didn't your shop just renovate? Why is it closed again today?"
Chen Ze looked at Li Zhou, who was standing outside the door, and asked.
At this moment, Li Zhou also recognized who these two were.
Previously, when he was browsing TikTok, he had seen many Streamers claiming they would come to challenge the Haunted House.
Among them was this young man in front of him.
The other party seemed to have a high number of followers and was also a big Streamer.
"I am the owner of this shop, and yes, we are suspended for business today."
Li Zhou looked at Chen Ze and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Chen Ze showed a pained expression.
The date he had set for his fans to livestream the Haunted House challenge was today, but in the evening.
He also knew Song Yang, who was a ruthless person.
Even such a ruthless person was scared unconscious by the Haunted House, so he felt a chill in his heart.
Therefore, having arrived in Jinling yesterday, he and Old Hei specifically got up early today, just to come and see what was going on inside the Haunted House first.
He didn't expect the Haunted House to be closed again today!
Just as Chen Ze was thinking about how to get Li Zhou to agree to let him take a look inside first, Li Zhou's words suddenly stunned him.
"You're a Streamer who came to challenge my shop, right?"
"I'm closed for business today partly because two Streamers are preparing to take on the challenge today."
"Want to team up?"
