The show-off youth had regained his senses.
The laughter in his ears made his face darken.
No successful boasting — only being slapped in the face.
He stood silently and quickly left the hall, disappearing down the street with a flushed face.
The crowd burst into laughter again.
Lin Chen looked at the six remaining ticketless people. "The next movie starts soon. Those wanting to watch, please buy your tickets quickly."
After three waves of scared viewers, the six remaining knew they might end up like the rest.
Still, their curiosity outweighed fear.
After hesitating, five stepped forward to buy tickets, eager to see how scary the movie really was.
They also clung to hope: what if they succeeded?
"Hey girl, aren't you watching?" Lin Chen asked a nearby girl.
She shook her head vigorously, "Nope, I'm not."
Lin Chen nodded and didn't push her.
He led the five ticket buyers toward the Screening Room.
Suddenly, the girl asked the man next to her, "Big brother, can I borrow your movie ticket?"
He was surprised but smiled, "Sure, take it."
She took photos of the ticket, then took a selfie, and posted on Weibo:
"First time at such an interesting cinema. Unfortunately, I lasted only ten minutes before getting scared out. Highly recommend everyone come experience it — you won't regret it."
"Thanks, big brother, here's your ticket back."
He accepted it, dumbfounded.
The people around stared, thinking:
Damn, you hung around the hall for over half an hour without buying a ticket, then shamelessly posted on Weibo to trick people?
This was truly a show!
Once everyone realized this, they started posting Weibo, Moments — doing whatever to trick others.
As expected, after about ten minutes, the five ticket buyers rushed out screaming.
No sooner had they left than a second group arrived.
Then a third, then a fourth...
Lin Chen only relaxed after 9 p.m., when the street was empty.
Closing the door, he went upstairs to bed, sat on his bed, and emptied his pocket of cash.
Counting it up shocked him — he'd made 124,000 yuan in one day!
Surprised, he opened the system interface:
Host: Lin Chen
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Permission Level: LV2 (496/1000)
Store: Not opened
Fear Points: 178,211
Monthly Revenue: 238,800 RMB
Items: None
Skills: None
Movies Owned: A Wicked Ghost, Shutter
...
Experience Points were nearly halfway to the next level, and Fear Points had reached over 170,000.
Given the current popularity, it wouldn't be long before Permission Level rose to LV3.
Looking at the thick stacks of cash on his bed, Lin Chen frowned, "I didn't expect to make over two hundred thousand in just a few days. It's not safe keeping this much cash at home; I'll need to deposit it in the bank tomorrow."
One silent night later, Lin Chen woke early, washed, dressed, and only kept a few thousand yuan cash on hand.
The rest he packed into a backpack, locked the door, and called a ride to the city's largest computer mall.
Banks don't open until after 9 a.m., so he planned to buy a new computer first.
His current computer was old and lagged when playing League of Legends.
Since he didn't understand computers, he followed the rule: if unsure, buy the most expensive.
Entering an Alienware store, he was warmly welcomed.
The owner recommended the ALIENWARE AREA-51 gaming desktop.
Lin Chen was immediately drawn to its unique triangular chassis.
After playing a round of the game on it, he made his decision.
"Done, I'll take it!"
Of course, it wasn't cheap — the price was 18,999 yuan even after a discount.
