Everyone Before the Tournament

Western Outskirts of Hanjiang City.

New Century Amusement Park.

The crows returned to the Haunted House. It was just dawn. When Zhang Ze returned to the Haunted House, he saw Uncle Xu in the waiting hall, instructing the workers to move goods and directing the installation of something.

It looked like a large screen, perfectly positioned in the center of the hall. All the seats were refurbished, and even awnings, large fans, and central air conditioning were provided.

"Director Luo's funding has been approved?" Zhang Ze walked up to Uncle Xu. "I'm flattered that he's going to renovate the infrastructure."

Uncle Xu couldn't hide his smile. "Don't be modest, Xiao Zhang. Thanks to you, our park's revenue has increased by 30% to 40% year-on-year!"

"Director Luo not only specifically approved funding to help you organize the competition, but he's even considering reforming our pricing system and planning to launch a package ticket."

"Regular visitors need to buy tickets to enter the park, and they need to buy tickets again to play in the Haunted House. Many people come to the park specifically to experience the Haunted House, so buying two tickets isn't very cost-effective. Therefore, we simply launched a Haunted House combo ticket."

"It's 70 yuan per person, one ticket for both your Haunted House and Little Chen's Haunted House. Additional scenes will cost extra, you decide that, how about it?"

Uncle Xu suddenly made this suggestion.

It happened several months earlier than in the original story.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ze realized it was a bundled sale.

It's obvious that he's planning to open Haunted House Major, and many tourists have been repeatedly experiencing the scenes recently. If they can bundle it with other attractions, it can not only increase the visitor traffic to Zhang Ze's Haunted House, but also boost the traffic to Chen Ge's Haunted House.

Visitors can experience the Haunted House for two at a time.

Zhang Ze represents business, Chen Ge represents life.

Yes, that shows great business acumen.

"I have no objection."

Where is our Little Chen?

"Little Chen Little Chen, although he didn't explicitly agree, he didn't raise any objections either, which means it's open to discussion."

"Besides, although his Haunted House is developing rapidly, its visitor traffic still can't compare to Haunted House. We've decided to focus on you; if it can bring some brand recognition, that would be even better."

After listening to what Uncle Xu had to say.

Zhang Ze understood the plans for New Century Amusement Park.

With Haunted House as its core selling point, his Haunted House complements Chen Ge's Haunted House, forming a mutually reinforcing structure to create a city of horror and suspense!

This blueprint should logically have been drawn up after the events of Liwan Town, or even after Zhang Wenyu's appearance Cursed Hospital.

But now, thanks to Zhang Ze's sudden emergence, New Century Amusement Park has taken the lead in implementing this plan, and the benefits of productivity development have become apparent.

"The operation of various IPs surrounding the Haunted House is progressing steadily. Bai Xiaoxiao's filming team is shooting short dramas, and I have also invested in Mystery Case Tracking Studio to handle public relations."

"It's fair to say that aside from content production, I personally handled all the other miscellaneous tasks."

Even Chen Ge in the normal timeline couldn't do that!

Zhang Ze couldn't help but sigh.

It's fortunate that he's already dead. Dead people don't need rest; burning until they rot is enough. Chen Ge is still limited by the energy limit of a living person. Unless he stops being human like Chen Ge, he won't be able to keep up with Zhang Ze's progress.

Daylight broke.

Visitors entered the park one after another.

The electronic display screen in the waiting hall lit up.

The image above shows Zhang Ze's Haunted House and Chen Ge's Haunted House.

Zhang Ze's Haunted House: Crow's Nest, Midnight Police Station, the Ring, Second Ward...

Chen Ge's Haunted House: Fuan Apartments, Twilight Sun Middle School, Third Ward...

Zhang Ze even saw some small vendors.

Carrying various homemade souvenirs, such as realistic videotapes and Crow dolls, he found a perfect spot to hawk his wares.

This scene.

It's estimated that in a while, we'll see actors dressed as Sun Wukong taking photos with tourists for 10 yuan a photo.

Shen Yue also woke up.

After washing up, I stood in my seat and began my workday.

The first group of tourists.

Zhang Ze first spotted a group of young men and women, led by the stunningly beautiful Gao Ruxue, surrounded by other students from Hanjiang City Forensic Medicine College, including the shy He Shan, the inquisitive Liu Xianxian, Ma Ying, and others.

"Boss Zhang, we're here to play in your Haunted House!"

Shen Yue glanced at Gao Ruxue, and her eyes widened in surprise.

"Holy crap! How come she's so well-developed!"

"If you smoked two fewer cigarettes and went out less during your growth spurt, you could have developed to this size."

Zhang Ze greeted Gao Ruxue and the others with a smile.

They were among the first groups to visit.

This time we're going to experience Crow's Nest.

"The Crow's Nest is the foundation of all scenes. Once you understand the terrain of the Crow's Nest, you can accurately locate the Midnight Police Station and the location of the Ring, which is crucial for saving time."

Their strategy was to abandon the Second Ward.

The focus is on conquering several key scenes inside the Crow's Nest.

"Boss Zhang, could you please tell me the specific score for each small scene?"

"No, that depends on your performance and the situation on site," Zhang Ze replied. "But don't worry, I'll personally referee on the day of the competition to guarantee absolute fairness."

"Okay~"

The professional team from Hanjiang City Forensic Medicine College has departed.

Next up are the other teams.

Zhang Ze saw many familiar faces, some of whom were even repeat visitors who had come seven or eight times. Some were even addicted to the bizarre and wonderful environment Door-After World, checking in every day.

He then spotted another familiar group.

"Qin Guang, Fei Youliang, Zombie Man?"

"You guys really dare to come again?"

Appearing in front of Zhang Ze was the Avengers Alliance, also known as the Streamer Team, composed of Qin Guang and several others. There were even several cameras filming them live next to the ticket booth.

"This terrifying major, the championship is definitely mine."

"Watch how I, the Human King, outmaneuver your hunter!"

Butcher?

Zhang Ze's mind went blank for a moment, but he quickly realized that what people said was actually true; in each of his scenes, there was actually a staff member playing the role of the butcher.

Lingling at the Crow's Nest.

Zhang Peng from the Midnight Police Station.

Sadako from the Ring.

Old Yang, the Electroshock Doctor in the Second Ward.

"Then you'd better pray you don't get caught, because if you do, you're out immediately." Zhang Ze chuckled as he watched the group buy their tickets and go inside.

Zhang Ze also noticed some suspicious individuals in the other teams, who looked like people from Tianteng Hospital, but he didn't pay them any further attention.

A busy day has come to an end.

Today marks the fifth day since Zhang Ze announced the Haunted House Major.

Two days left.

Still haven't seen Su Ren and Gao Jian.

"Are they really planning to clear my Haunted House on their first try?"

Zhang Ze specifically questioned Feng Xiaomin, and all the surveillance footage failed to capture anyone matching Gao Jian's appearance. Zhang Ze suspected that Gao Jian might not have actually scouted the location beforehand.

never mind.

If Gao Jian dares to cause trouble.

Zhang Ze will let him know that he's not someone to be trifled with.

The day of the competition determined the future development path of New Century Amusement Park.

No one is allowed to interfere.

Whether it's the Ghost Story Association, the Tianteng Hospital, or Gao Jian, Zhang Ze must suppress them in their infancy.

Free time.

Zhang Ze opened the [William's Diary] in his hand.
