“Brother Niu, stop being mysterious. Tell us quickly.”
“Yeah, tell us about the plot. Is the Painted Skin dungeon fun or not?”
Netizens in the livestream urged him.
Niu Gu put down the photos and said, “This building is indeed all for the haunted house. The Painted Skin dungeon is on the second floor. This single dungeon occupies an entire floor.
“When we went in, there were already many players inside. I calculated about thirty or forty people, but it wasn’t crowded at all—very spacious.”
“Occupies a whole floor? That is big indeed,” a netizen commented curiously. “Brother Niu, did you take photos of the Painted Skin dungeon?”
Niu Gu nodded. “Only one, taken at the entrance. I didn’t take any further inside; it’s a trade secret.”
“Show us.”
Everyone urged.
Niu Gu found the photo and placed it in front of the camera to show everyone.
In the image was a straight ancient street stretching endlessly. The street was lined with shops, and there were three-story buildings. Mountain peaks could be vaguely seen in the distance.
“Holy crap, Brother Niu, you’re really not bluffing us?” Netizens couldn’t believe it. “This set is on par with a film studio. Big spending! They built a film studio inside the second floor.”
“It’s true,” Niu Gu nodded. “I was scared, too, when I first went in.”
Most netizens didn’t believe Niu Gu, thinking he was exaggerating. But Niu Gu had a good reputation; any haunted house he recommended was usually excellent.
Some netizens commented: “I believe Brother Niu. I’m a Fengdu local. I’ll take friends to check it out this weekend.”
“I’m going too, I’m going too.”
“I’m from out of town, but not far from Fengdu. I’ll go check it out too. Brother Niu, you’d better be telling the truth. If you’re lying, I’ll come expose you.”
“I took a screenshot. I’ll compare it with Brother Niu’s photo. If the actual place is different from the photo, Brother Niu, I’m asking you for a refund.”
To verify the truth, many people booked tickets on the spot.
Li Miao was lying in the lounge when she saw orders coming in one after another.
In less than half an hour, 500 tickets had been sold.
Wow!
I’m going to be rich!
Li Miao sat up quickly and checked the group-buying app, finding many people booking tickets.
The limit for the Painted Skin dungeon was 50 people per batch. Assuming one session per hour and 10 hours of operation, that was 500 people per day. So she only sold 500 tickets a day.
After Saturday and Sunday, tickets were sold out, so these people started booking for Monday.
For a whole week, from Monday to Sunday, all tickets were booked.
This time I’m really going to make it! With this large sum of money coming in, she would have the funds to build dwelling scenarios for Ruhua and Nie Xiaoqian.
Just as Li Miao was excited, the Haunted House app on her phone suddenly sounded: “Congratulations, [Fengdu Haunted House] reputation upgraded to [Fledgling]. Haunted House Mall unlocked.”
What, what?
Haunted House Mall unlocked?
This app has a mall?
Li Miao quickly opened the app and saw an extra column in the bottom menu bar: [Haunted House Mall].
Previously, there were only three columns at the bottom: [My Profile], [Haunted House Management], and [My Missions]. Now there was [Haunted House Mall].
After clicking in, Li Miao discovered that [Haunted House Mall] was like a vast Taobao store, selling everything.
Besides furniture, clothes, and food, it actually sold houses!
There were skyscrapers, villas, and country cottages—everything imaginable.
What Li Miao liked most was a small building called the [Ruyi Cottage].
[Ruyi Cottage] was like a portable space. Although only 100 square meters, it had a bedroom, living room, bathroom, and kitchen—everything one needed.
The [Ruyi Cottage] could also be carried around. When not in use, it could be stored away.
To live in it, one just placed the [Ruyi Cottage] on the ground, and it would automatically generate a building based on the external environment.
That meant if she placed the [Ruyi Cottage] in the lounge, it would merge with the building and become part of it.
If she placed the [Ruyi Cottage] in a wild forest, it would turn into a cave or a treehouse based on the surroundings.
Like a chameleon, it could change its external form.
Li Miao wanted this cottage very much.
She didn’t even have a room right now. She huddled in the lounge every day, sleeping on a wooden bed that made her back ache.
But this [Ruyi Cottage] was too expensive—1 million. She couldn’t afford it even if she sold herself.
Li Miao scrolled through and finally found that she could only afford a piece of Hundred-Year Peach Wood, priced at 1000 yuan.
Quite a bargain. Li Miao planned to buy one to make a peach wood sword.
Sooner or later, she would claim the Yin-Yang Eyes. Once she did, she might see ghosts.
Inside the haunted house, she wasn’t afraid. Painted Skin, Ruhua, and Xiaoqian were powerful ghosts who could subdue lesser spirits.
But outside, it was different. Painted Skin and the others couldn’t leave to follow her.
Li Miao couldn’t stay in the haunted house forever, so she thought about whittling a peach wood sword for self-defense.
Li Miao decided to buy the Hundred-Year Peach Wood. When placing the order, she found that the [Haunted House Mall] didn’t accept mortal money, only Spirit Coins.
Where do I get Spirit Coins?
Li Miao researched and found that the points in [My Profile] were Spirit Coins.
Every penny she earned at Fengdu Haunted House accumulated points.
Points could be converted to Spirit Coins at a 1:1 ratio.
Li Miao calculated. Since the haunted house opened, she had earned a total of 30,000 yuan, which meant 30,000 points.
Converting points to Spirit Coins, Li Miao bought the Hundred-Year Peach Wood.
Hehe, what a surprise. She thought she had to spend mortal money, but she didn’t need to.
This was simply earning one salary but spending it twice. Too happy.
Previously, Li Miao dared not spend money recklessly, wanting to save for Ruhua and Xiaoqian’s scenarios.
Now discovering the [Haunted House Mall] accepted points, her hands were instantly freed.
Just as Li Miao was preparing to go on a shopping spree, a pop-up window appeared in the mall—
[The poor Haunted House Owner is shopping in the mall for the first time. To encourage the owner to earn money and shop more, the mall rewards one lucky draw.]
Then the page jumped to a lucky draw wheel.
Li Miao had always had bad luck. She had never won anything in lucky draws, not even a 5-yuan lottery ticket.
So she lacked interest in the lucky draw and clicked casually.
The big wheel spun rapidly. The special effects were flashy and colorful.
About 10 seconds later, fireworks exploded on the page.
[Haunted House Owner Li Miao’s luck has turned! Won an SSS-Rank Quality Item!]
[Haunted House Owner Li Miao is riding a wave of good luck! SSS-Rank item reveals a Rare Blind Box!]
[Wow! Haunted House Owner, you struck gold!]
[You hit the jackpot!]
It was truly a heaven-defying prize; even the app couldn’t help but comment.
Li Miao hadn’t expected her luck to be so good as to draw an SSS-rank item. She quickly clicked on the blind box.
A dazzling golden light flashed, and a golden square box appeared before her eyes.
Previously, the blind boxes for Painted Skin, Nie Xiaoqian, and Ruhua were black.
This blind box, however, was golden.
Li Miao was so excited. What will a Golden Rare Blind Box contain?
