Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

o you say this? It varies from person to person.
You’ll only know after experiencing it.”

Chen Kangtuo handed the list with the content of the project to Boss Li.
“This is an action to be completed in the project.
Please go through it and memorize it.”

Li Shi took this piece of paper.
His eyes scanned the content on it, and his eyebrows could not help but be raised.

There are a few simple explanatory texts on it:

‘Guests can ask to terminate the challenge at any time when they feel unwell.

‘Keep in mind the various steps and execute them accurately during the challenge.
You will be eligible for the third project of the Thriller Hostel when you successfully clear the process.

‘You can continue to experience the entire process even if you took the wrong steps.

There is no time limit for items you have to memorize.

‘Special note: The order of the following six items will be randomly disrupted during the challenge.
Please do not memorize them mechanically.’

Next were the names of the six projects and the challenge items that needed to be achieved in each project.

There were basically five to seven challenge items each and had certain relevance to each other so it was not difficult to remember.

Take the bathroom project for example.
It went like this:

Lock the bathroom door.
Pick up the red candle on the ground and light it.
Put the candle in front of the mirror and shut your eyes for three seconds before looking into the mirror.
Turn on the tap and wash your hands.
Lie in the bathtub and press the timer; blindfold your eyes until the timer stops.

The challenge items basically focused on the entrance, the bathroom mirror, and the bathtub.
The order was from outside to the inside.
It would take only two to three minutes to remember it with a clear mind.

Of course, it would take at least half an hour to learn all the items considering that the order of the small projects would be disrupted.

Li Shi quickly browsed through the requirements of all the small projects and fell silent.

It seemed… like it would not be as scary as he thought.

Li Shi came with the mentality of rushing to his death.
That was because he knew Boss Pei strived to be perfect in everything he did.
The haunted house project would definitely be terrifying!

However, it was slightly different from what he expected after seeing the list.

At present, the scariest haunted house had two characteristics.
One was a long process; the other was having numerous staff interact with the guests.

However, this Thriller Hostel project was exactly the opposite.

Moreover, it could be seen from the paper that each of these challenge items were not too long.
They might end in five to eight minutes so the total time taken would be about half an hour to 40 minutes.

Moreover, it seemed as though there would not be any staff pretending to be ghosts.
That gave Boss Li some relief.

It seemed as though this project was mainly used to qualify for the third project so the level of terror was moderate.

Li Shi had some expectations after thinking about it.

He originally thought that if this project was too scary, then he would not experience it.
He would then think of another way to get an answer from Boss Pei.

He could make an issue out of it now since it did not seem to be too scary.

“Boss Pei, can I have another reward if I stick to the complete process? The qualification for the third project is meaningless to me,” Li Shi asked.

Pei Qian nodded.
“Sure, what kind of reward would Boss Li want? Shall I give you a lifetime VIP for Thriller Hostel for you to come and experience it for free?”

Li Shi’s face turned black.
“What do I want that for?! Do you think I don’t cherish my

life?

“Ahem, ahem, how about this? Boss Pei, if I can persist in this project by chance, would you tell me the truth about ‘Top Student, Come Quick? Is Dream Realization Ventures going to cash out?”

Pei Qian laughed in his heart.
Boss Li’s request was exactly what he was looking for.
Pei Qian was about to give him some advice even if he did not take the initiative to ask.

“No problem,” Pei Qian agreed.

Li Shi raised his thumb.
“Good! Boss Pei is indeed straightforward! I’ll go and experience it.
Boss Pei, don’t break your promise.”

Both of them had an ax to grind.
Li Shi carefully recited the requirements written on the paper.
After about a quarter of an hour, he recited them out loud again.
He remembered them all.

“I’m ready.” Li Shi stood up.
Pei Qian nodded.
“Boss Li, please go ahead.”

Li Shi walked to the entrance of the second project with full confidence.

“He said he was afraid, but his pace is rather firm.
Is Boss Li the same as Ruan Guangjian, pretending to be weak?”

Pei Qian suddenly felt a little uncertain about the Thriller Hostel project.
However, he heard a tragic screen from within as soon as he walked to the front of the surveillance cameras.

“Ah!!!”

Boss Li, who had entered for less than a minute, fell to the ground with his hands wiping the back of his head frantically.

Boss Pei noticed that the first project that Boss Li entered randomly was the ‘ceiling’.

The guest had to bend down to pick up a broken notebook under the table when he entered the room.
A drop of water would drip from the ceiling onto the back of the guest’s neck.

The guest would subconsciously raise their heads at this point in time to see that a board had been removed.
A head with a pair of wide eyes shedding bloody tears would be looking down at the guest.

Obviously, Boss Li raised his head only to see this head.
He was so scared that he screamed and retreated.
He subconsciously wanted to wipe away the ‘bloodstain’ at the back of his neck after he fell to the ground.

Pei Qian was relieved upon seeing that.

“It seemed like there was no problem with the level of horror at Thriller Hostel.
The one with the problem is actually Ruan Guangjian…”
