Chapter 331 Recruiting One Part-Time Ghost Performer; Various Underworld Systems Compete for the Pos
Once the exterior style of the haunted house is chosen, the theme is naturally determined as well.
Next, she can choose two different themes and styles, and then switch between them at any time.
The must-have theme is definitely the full simulation theme style.
This theme allows every visitor to feel as if they are truly in a gloomy and terrifying ghost town, experiencing a near-perfectly realistic and terrifying atmosphere.
In addition, you can choose another theme with a different style.
After a moment's thought, Bai Mengran chose the beautified theme.
The change in theme significantly reduces the horror atmosphere, making it more suitable for women with a relatively weak heart, as it won't be too frightening for them.
Next, we arrived at the NPC selection stage.
The thirty extremely realistic NPC ghosts that Bai Mengran selected gave the impression of real ghosts appearing in person.
Not only did the costume achieve an astonishing 1:1 recreation of the real ghost, with every detail vividly portrayed, but it also possessed extremely high "acting skills".
They will also silently hide in suitable locations, ready to jump out and scare people at any time.
In the initial ghost appraisal, Bai Mengran naturally selected ghosts that matched the theme of this ghost town.
Familiar characters from Ghost Mirror, such as Yama, Meng Po, the Judge, Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Face...
Bai Mengran arranged for all of them to be simulated NPC ghosts.
These lifelike ghosts are not only similar in appearance, they can even perfectly mimic the original characters' speech!
Every intonation and every line of dialogue is precisely recreated, making players feel as if they are truly in the underworld, experiencing a truly immersive and unforgettable experience...
Apart from the thirty NPCs who were upgraded to lifelike ghosts, the other ordinary ghost characters are the "basic" ones that come with the theme.
They can only move mechanically along fixed tracks, emitting monotonous and repetitive frightening sounds, completely lacking that agile and cunning "ghostly" quality.
Looking at the enormous ghost town that was now fully set up, Bai Mengran was so happy that her smile almost reached her ears.
Then, she lay down on the bed and relaxed comfortably, her mind still lingering on the ingenious design of the ghost town.
"If only I could summon a real ghost to scare people~" Bai Mengran couldn't help but sigh casually.
[Host, you can try posting part-time job information in the recruitment forum section under the Talent System.]
Now that the host has spoken, the system naturally has to offer its advice and suggestions.
"This is possible? Would ghosts really accept orders like this?"
Bai Mengran was once again shocked by the system's omnipotence.
【??】
The system hesitated, its expression revealing a hint of reluctance, but finally spoke.
[That host... if he were willing to offer points as payment, the system would definitely be willing to accept the order...]
"Then these points...?"
Bai Mengran's original intention was to ask the system what she needed to do to exchange points for hiring ghosts.
The system, in its purest form, interprets this as the host asking it for points...
"Sob, although I'm reluctant, I have no choice but to give it to it, since all the points were earned by the host through completing tasks."
It knew perfectly well that it and its host were bound by fate—no, no, ptooey! It should be said that the host was its life!
[Host, my points are yours. Use as many as you want...]
The system's heart was bleeding; the cute boy's voice sounded incredibly aggrieved.
"Thanks, Tongbao. Think about it, we're doing this to make [Fairyland] even better. Once we attract more guests, we won't have to worry about not completing tasks or getting more points."
After being brainwashed by Ran's analysis, the boy who had just been listless immediately perked up again.
[The host is right, you can use my points as you like!]
Yes, that's right. With a master of missions as its host, what is it afraid of?
Without hesitation, Bai Mengran, guided by the system, entered the main system store and found the [Recruitment Forum] section under the [Talent System], where she posted a job advertisement.
[Title]: Hiring a part-time ghost, generous points reward!!!
[Job Opening]: Play a ghost in a haunted house, requiring the ability to transform into different ghostly forms to scare people, possess a strong desire to perform, and be able to convincingly portray a ghost.
Working hours: 9 am to 6 pm (start date to be determined)
[Salary and Benefits]: 2 points/day
"Tongbao, do you think it's possible to attract customers with such a low point system? How about changing it to 3 points?"
Bai Mengran clicked the "Publish" button hesitantly. Would this be considered hiring a quack at a low price?
【Host, this price is quite high! There's definitely a ghost coming to your door, don't worry.】
If you ask me, even if it were only 1 point, there would be tons of ghosts fighting over it!
The system still felt a pang of regret. The host earned points so easily that he was clearly biased about their importance.
Points are so hard to come by, while ghosts are everywhere!
As the system predicted, in less than a minute, the number of replies to the job posting surged, all of them applications from those systems with shady dealings.
[Hell System]: I'll take it! I have all kinds of ghosts, more than enough!
[Ghost and Spirit System]: Still summoning ghosts? Honey, I can shoot two at once!!
[Ghost Messenger System]: Beautiful female ghosts, handsome male ghosts, they're all here!
[King Yama of the Underworld]: I'll take this order! I'd like to see who dares to snatch it from me!
[Hell System]: You're the boss, you call the shots...
[Ghost Messenger System]: Boss, I'm going to catch more people...
[Comprehensive Management System]: @[King Yama of the Underworld] Deal!!! (Handshake)
The pragmatic Bai Mengran never expected that summoning a ghost to the haunted house would actually attract a big shot like Yama, the King of Hell! Respect!
[King Yama of the Underworld]: Okay, I'll create a group chat, you guys can chat privately.
So, by sheer coincidence, a certain unlucky ghost who was originally in the underworld reporting matters to King Yama was assigned a part-time job by King Yama with a wave of his hand.
The unlucky guy: ? ? ?
Why this one?
Ten days later, I found myself working in a haunted house with ease. During work hours, all I had to do was scare people. During breaks, I enjoyed delicious food and drinks, plus free meals. The beautiful boss was also incredibly kind. This was so much easier than working in the underworld.
A certain unlucky person: It smells so good!!!

Here, Bai Mengran added the part-time ghost who had been arranged by the King of Hell, informing him that he would start work in about two days, with the exact time subject to her notification.
Bai Mengran truly never expected that systems could operate in this way; she had learned something new tonight.
Looking at the haunted house that is already under construction, the countdown shows that there are only twenty-odd hours left. If nothing unexpected happens, the haunted house will be able to officially open the day after tomorrow.
Considering that the Unforgettable Bathhouse will also be opening the day after tomorrow, it seems like the day after tomorrow is truly an auspicious day for opening a business!
