The boss had a good attitude. Since Lin Chen didn't drive himself, the staff would deliver the computer to his home later.
After leaving the computer mall, Lin Chen rushed to the bank.
By the time he returned to Ningxuan Street, it was already past ten o'clock.
From afar, he saw dozens of people crowded densely in front of his store.
"I'm damn impressed! It's almost ten-thirty and the door's still not open. Does this boss want to reach heaven?"
"Isn't the boss supposed to live upstairs? Why no response after calling for so long?"
"Damn it! Is the shop opening today or not? Can anyone give a straight answer?"
"You ask me? Who the hell do I ask?"
"Liu Dong, you come here a lot. Got the boss's number?"
"I got nothing, but knowing this boss's usual style, it'll open soon."
"Hey, has anyone actually finished the movie and won the 5,000 yuan cash prize?"
"Nah, I saw on Weibo no one lasts past 20 minutes."
Lin Chen listened to their chatter with a knowing smile. After two days of word of mouth spreading on Weibo and Moments, his cinema was already gaining some popularity.
He imagined business would be booming in the days ahead.
Feeling extremely pleased, Lin Chen walked to the back of the crowd.
He patted a young man on the shoulder and smiled, "Brother, please make way. I'm going in."
"Who the hell are you?" The young man snapped. The long wait made him irritable.
"I'm going in to open…" Lin Chen was cut off.
"You just say go in? Don't you know what 'first come, first served' means?"
The outburst caught others' attention.
After all, this guy was their customer, coming to give money, so Lin Chen didn't get angry.
Pointing to the tightly closed rolling door, he smiled, "If I don't go in, who's going to open the door for you?"
"What door? You…" The guy paused, then blinked in surprise, "Are you the boss?"
Lin Chen teased, "If you know I'm the boss, then move aside quickly, hustle up."
"We've been waiting for you a long time. Open up!" The guy made way and shouted at the crowd, "Step aside! The boss is opening the door!"
With that, the crowd parted like a tide.
Lin Chen stepped forward, took out keys, and lifted the rolling door.
As the door opened, dozens surged inside like a wave.
The October noon sunlight was scorching, so everyone breathed out with relief in the cool interior.
Thanks to yesterday's experience, Lin Chen now handled this easily.
He squeezed behind the counter and shouted to the crowd, "Cinema now open! Please line up in an orderly fashion to buy tickets. Don't worry, the event lasts long enough to ensure everyone can challenge the movie. Also, cash prizes are ready; anyone who succeeds will get paid immediately!"
Upon hearing this, the previously chaotic crowd quickly formed four neat lines.
"Fill out this Liability Waiver first."
At the front was a young man, apparently a college student. Lin Chen handed him a Liability Waiver to sign.
When the fifth person stepped up, Lin Chen grinned — it was Liu Dong, that guy again.
"Not convinced? Wanna try again?" Since they were old acquaintances, Lin Chen spoke casually.
"Heh," Liu Dong adjusted his glasses, smiling confidently. "Boss, I've found the way to beat this thing."
Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, "Really?"
"Believe it or not, I'm set on that 5,000 yuan prize today."
Seeing Liu Dong's confidence, Lin Chen smiled quietly.
Finishing the movie without quitting only requires a fearless heart and a well-hardened nerve.
Though ghosts exist in the Screening Room, the system controls them so they can only scare, not harm.
The perfect example was Mu Wanqing — a woman with a steel-strong mind. If she hadn't been called away, Lin Chen felt she would have completed the whole movie.
As for Liu Dong, Lin Chen doubted he had the ability; his 'method' was likely a cheap trick.
After selling nine tickets, Lin Chen told the rest, "Tickets for this session are sold out. Please wait patiently for the next."
The crowd, having learned from Weibo and Moments that most quit in around ten minutes, was not anxious but quietly waited.
Once the nine sat in the Screening Room, Lin Chen finally saw what Liu Dong's method was.
Liu Dong immediately took out headphones and put them on. Then he removed his glasses and put on a blindfold.
The other eight stared dumbfounded.
"Damn, that's allowed?"
