Chapter 565 Thriller Hostel is Complete

Boss Li and the other investors-along with Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong-were chatting and laughing just inside the gate, waiting for Boss Pei to arrive.

“Boss Pei!”

Li Shi was the first to step forward and receive him. Everyone was smiling brightly, and two words were clearly written on their face: ‘it’s stable’!

Before Boss Pei took action, everyone felt fearful and uncertain because the publicity had not seemed good enough.

Yet, once Boss Pei took action, all their problems were solved!

The shared phone booths and ‘Top Student, Come Quick’ had marketed Thriller Hostel to the rest of the country at once. Coupled with the other investors’ marketing campaign around Jingzhou and Handong Province, traffic flow in Thriller Hostel for the initial period was almost guaranteed!

Thus, everyone instantly relaxed. It was time for them to sit back and wait for the results of Thriller Hostel’s first day of operations.

Since Boss Pei had effortlessly done what all the investors failed to do despite trying so hard, he became the moon among the stars for them.

However, to Pei Qian, the investors’ smiles looked malicious. It made him feel like he was being forced to put a square peg into a round hole or like he was an emperor being forced to abdicate the palace.

Their passionate gazes made his hair stand.

Yet, there was nothing he could do. He had to look around. It would be best if he could do something to remedy the situation, but if he could not, he had to be mentally prepared at least.

The group surrounded Boss Pei as they walked towards the inner portions of Thriller Hostel.

The surrounding walls of the entire project were remodeled based on the old industrial zone’s original walls. On the reddish-brown brick walls, the words ‘Thriller Hostel’ were written in Mandarin and English, in what looked like blood.

It created the effect of blood flowing downwards on the wall, which was inexplicably compatible with Thriller Hostel’s logo and the vines that had been left there on purpose. None of the elements looked out of place.

Before arriving at the main door, they walked through a huge, empty space. On the right was parking, and on the left was the ticketing booth and bus stop.

The ticketing booth sold paper tickets. Of course, visitors could also choose to scan the QR codes at the entrance of each project to make payment.

Multiple buses with Thriller Hostel’s name printed on them were neatly parked at the bus stop. All of those buses were to drive to the nearby transportation hubs at specific times each day to ferry visitors in.

After all, transport was inconvenient here. Apart from visitors who had their own cars, most people would have difficulty getting here.

If a train station could be built here in the future, it would be best. However, there were no plans for that at the moment.

As they walked further in, they arrived at the main entrance. It was not tall, big, or imposing. Instead, it was relatively low-profile, and it blended in perfectly with the rest of the industrial zone.

Pei Qian had chosen to do this not because he had been afraid to spend money, but mainly because he had been afraid that—if the main door was too beautiful and eye-catching-it would attract a lot of unnecessary attention.

What would he do if the main door looked too unique, and visitors took pictures of it and caused Thriller Hostel to become viral?

There were no ticket gates at the main entrance because Pei Qian did not intend to package all the projects in the Thriller Hostel. Each of the three projects would be charged separately.

There were joined tickets, but even those would be checked at the entrance of the individual projects.

After walking through the main door, they were officially on Thriller Hostel’s premises.

There was a broad path right in front of them. On the other side of the path were the square, the fountain, and the Golden Maze.

The entire square was located in the middle of Thriller Hostel. It had also been re-done with new bricks in the ground.

In the center of the square was a fountain called the Healing Fountain. It was filled with warm water, and it had a faint and warm glow, which symbolized the elimination of ghosts and spirits and the healing of spiritual trauma.

After passing the fountain, they arrived at the Golden Maze. There were a lot of entrances and exits, just like a transport interchange, connecting the different areas of the Thriller Hostel.

The three entertainment projects of Thriller Hostel surrounded the Golden Maze, and each of them was a good distance from the others.

Pei Qian’s initial thought had been to put the three projects as far away from one another as possible and to make them as hidden as possible. The abandoned factories in between were to split the path so that visitors would have to make detours to get from one project to another.

At the same time, each of them charged separately. That way, visitors would have gravitated towards the cheapest and most fun project—the first one. The other two would have been deserted.

However, what he had not expected was for Boss Li and the investors to join in and ruin the entire plan! Boss Li and the others used all the empty factories around the three projects. Some had been turned into restaurants, some had been turned into hotels… some had been turned into toy stores and clothing stores…

The most ridiculous thing was that the big factory in the center had been made into the Golden Maze. It was a huge shopping mall that sold everything, and it had exits facing every other region in the Thriller Hostel!

Now, while the three projects were still far away from one another, visitors could shop at various stores along the way. There were also long benches by the side for them to rest.

After walking out of a specific exit from the Golden Maze, they would arrive at the entrance of the other two projects. It was all very convenient.

What’s more, there was a healing and comforting maid cafe near the third project. Visitors could easily and seamlessly go there to heal after being terrified.

Boss Li’s prison restaurant and the other investors’ stores selling ghostly and magic props were scattered around the area, making full use of the land. Not a single square meter was redundant.

This layout… was too freaking reasonable!

Pei Qian was speechless. At first, he had thought that Boss Li and the others were like a mob. He had expected them to fight for the best plot of land, and that it would be impossible for the shops to be arranged in such a logical fashion.

Yet, now, it seemed like he had underestimated those people. Pei Qian instinctively sighed.

The group made a big round around the square as Chen Kangtuo pointed and introduced each item to them. He looked extremely proud of himself.

Inside, he was elated. If I had not used my facial expressions to drop hints to the investors back then, would the entire layout have turned out this harmonious?
