Chapter 405 - Giving Ruan Guangjian a Farewell Surprise (1/2)

January 25th, Tuesday…

At Shang Yang Games…

Ruan Guangjian entered the game again to experience Be Quiet properly once through. Just like before, cries and screams of terror could be heard intermittently. However, everyone in Shang Yang Games was already used to this.

Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin mumbled between themselves.

“Big Boss Ruan is screaming much louder than before.”

“Hmm, it looks like the improvements we made recently are quite effective.”

Both of them looked at the decibel meter in front of them. The value kept fluctuating, but they recorded all the peak values.

Compared to the previous test, there was an obvious improvement this time.

After a while, everything went silent.

Ruan Guangjian’s face was flushed, and he looked like he was bursting with life as he praised, “Good! The game finally plays like a horror game!

“I don’t think any changes have to be made to the game’s graphics. You just have to tie up some loose ends after this.”

Everyone stood up one by one and clapped, feeling thankful.

During this period, Ruan Guangjian had helped them with the best he could. Not only had he changed the game’s style entirely, but he had also given many suggestions to improve the gameplay.

The game’s horror effects had only been passable at first. However, thanks to Ruan Guangjian’s help, it was now outstanding!

What’s more, Ruan Guangjian had made time to paint the shared phone booths and even contacted his friends to help out.

Everyone at Shang Yang Games appreciated Ruan Guangjian’s efforts.

Although Lin Wan had already paid him enough, Shang Yang Games still felt like it owed Ruan Guangjian a huge favor.

“Alright, things here are done. I have to go back to Shanghai soon. I’ll go back and organize the move, and then we’ll celebrate the New Year.

“For all we know, my workspace would have moved to Jingzhou by then. Maybe we’ll become neighbors!” Ruan Guangjian smiled.

Everyone began thanking him. Although they had not worked together for long, the employees at Shang Yang Games still could not bear to see Ruan Guangjian go.

After leaving Shang Yang Games, Ruan Guangjian retrieved his cell phone and called Boss Pei. He had to at least say goodbye now that he was leaving Jingzhou.

At that moment, Pei Qian had just seen Lin Chang off.

Both of them had agreed to wait until the horror game and the first cell phone were released before having Lin Wan dealt with. Then, they had a huge feast together to celebrate.

Pei Qian’s cell phone began to vibrate. “Eh?”

Pei Qian instinctively frowned when he saw Ruan Guangjian’s number. He immediately thought about the shared phone booths!

However, no matter how angry he felt, he had to answer Ruan Guangjian’s call. Otherwise, if he missed any news of a fatal back-stabbing, he would be in deep trouble.

“Boss Pei, I’m going to stay in Jingzhou to play for two more days before I return to Shanghai. Thank you for hosting me so well during this period. I know you’re busy, and so I won’t bid you farewell face-to-face.

“Once I move here after the Chinese New Year, us brothers can reunite and have some drinks!”

Pei Qian, “?”

What do you mean by ‘move here after the Chinese New Year’? What do you mean by ‘us brothers can reunite and have some drinks’?

Who said you could move your workspace here? Who said that we’re brothers?!

Pei Qian was speechless. Ruan Guangjian and Teacher Qiao… the names of both of those enemies were written down in Pei Qian’s little notebook, and yet they were acting so chummy with Pei Qian!

However, hearing that Ruan Guangjian was leaving, Pei Qian could not help but feel happy. After all, the bane of his existence was leaving. He could look forward to smoother days ahead, and he would not have to worry about being stabbed by a paintbrush anymore. Yet, something was wrong!

Pei Qian quickly said, “Don’t rush! I have something else for you! How about this? I’ll pick you up from the hotel this afternoon. I want to give you a huge surprise!”

Ruan Guangjian sounded astonished through the phone. “Oh? A surprise? What surprise?”

Pei Qian sniggered. “It’s a surprise… it won’t be one anymore if I tell you what it is. Just meet me at the hotel lobby in the afternoon. I’ll come and fetch you.”

Ruan Guangjian did not ask any more questions. Instead, he just said, “Alright.”

After hanging up, Pei Qian could not help but grin. I almost let you slip away, brat! Before this, Pei Qian had already confirmed something through the phone. After a month of pure hard work, three small containers for the second project of the haunted house were done.

Those small projects did not take up much space. Take the ‘bathroom’ for example. It only measured about ten square meters. All the game’s content could be found in that cramped area.

What’s more, they could work on multiple small projects at the same time. Thus, they had completed them quickly.

Although the third project would be the scariest in the Thriller Hostel, Pei Qian could not wait any longer. Ruan Guangjian was going to slip away. Pei Qian had to let him experience the Thriller Hostel; he could not let him walk away so arrogantly!

At that thought, Pei Qian called Chen Kangtuo.

“Prepare those three mini-projects for me. I’m going to bring a friend to experience them this afternoon. We have to scare him until he pees his pants!

In the afternoon, at the old industrial zones…

It looked like not much progress had been made on the construction of the Thriller Hostel for now. They had only picked out three factory buildings to commence initial works so far.

One of the factory buildings contained several shipping containers. That was where the second project would be located.

The old industrial zone was quite big. There would be a ticketing booth and surrounding shops in the future, but there was still no hint of those yet. After all, only a month had passed since they had come up with the plan. Completing three mini-projects in that time frame was impressive enough. Ruan Guangjian and Pei Qian alighted from the car and walked towards the factory building

“Boss Pei, if people weren’t doing construction work here, I would have thought you were going to kill me and bury my corpse,” joked Ruan Guangjian. Pei Qian sniggered inwardly. Do you think I don’t want to? Ruan Guangjian looked around, confused. “Boss Pei, what exactly is the surprise you were talking about?”
