[System Prompt: Six viewers left, one viewer fainted. Screening ended. Fear Points +3100!]
As the prompt sounded, six figures dashed out screaming from the screening room.
"Boss, how long did they last?" Liu Dong asked eagerly.
Lin Chen glanced at his phone, "24 minutes."
"Ha! I won!" Bald Guy laughed, reaching for the hundred yuan on the bar.
"Wait!" Liu Dong stopped him, smiling proudly, "Count again. Only six came out, one's still inside. Thanks for the hundred!"
Bald Guy blinked, looked around — damn, there really were six.
Seeing Liu Dong's smug grin, Lin Chen said, "Actually, you lost. The one still inside fainted."
Lin Chen hurried into the screening room and soon carried out a woman — Qiang Zi's girlfriend.
Qiang Zi rushed over anxiously, "Boss, what happened to my girlfriend?"
"Don't worry, she just fainted." Lin Chen remained calm.
The system had assured him no harm would come to viewers, so he wasn't worried.
He laid the woman down, mimicking Li Yan's earlier technique: gently lifting her chin and pressing the philtrum with his thumb.
Within seconds, she moaned and opened her eyes.
Seeing her okay, Qiang Zi relaxed and helped her up.
"Heh, bro, I told you they wouldn't last 25 minutes." Bald Guy, holding his winnings, was in high spirits.
His words embarrassed everyone, especially Qiang Zi, who had bragged about his experience with horror movies but fled quickly, even abandoning his fainted girlfriend.
Despite the teasing, everyone admitted:
"No doubt, the movie is intense!"
"Damn, I almost pissed myself."
"This cinema is a hundred times scarier than a haunted house."
"The 3D effects are so real, I almost thought I really saw a ghost!"
"Heh, it's weekend tomorrow — I'm bringing my buddies here for fun."
...
After Liu Dong and Bald Guy left, no more customers came.
Lin Chen stayed open until after nine, then closed as the street emptied.
Back in his upstairs bedroom, Lin Chen sat cross-legged on his bed, happily counting a thick stack of cash.
"9,800… 9,810… 10,088!"
"Haha, made a fortune!"
Just one day's sales had hit over ten thousand yuan.
By this math, he could earn two to three hundred thousand a month easily — no wonder he was so happy.
More importantly, the business was just starting. Most viewers would spread word of mouth, creating a positive cycle.
More and more people would come, and making a million yuan a month would be easy.
After calming down, Lin Chen slapped his head, then opened the system interface:

Just yesterday, Lin Chen thought the main quest was impossible.
Today, he was proven wrong — and happily so.
"System, I want to claim my reward!" Lin Chen eagerly said.
"Congratulations, host, main quest completed. Reward: Coke Machine."
"Coke Machine granted. Please check the bar."
Hearing the prompt, Lin Chen hurried downstairs.
Sure enough, a Coke Machine sat at the bar.
He examined it carefully — it looked like any other Coke Machine in cinemas, with no special features visible.
He grabbed a paper cup and filled it with cola.
The deep brown liquid bubbled like normal cola.
He took a big sip.
His eyes lit up.
The taste was sweet but not cloying, with a fresh tang — very delicious.
Unlike other colas, this left no astringent taste, just a refreshing feeling.
"System, besides tasting good, what else does this cola do?"
System products are always premium; Lin Chen didn't believe this Coke Machine was just tasty.
"Drinking the cola during viewing enhances the movie's 3D effect by 30%."
Awesome!
Lin Chen gave a thumbs up and asked, "And the price?"
"Cola is priced at 88 yuan per cup."
Hearing this, Lin Chen smirked — typical system style, ridiculously expensive!
