Chapter 460 - Youre Awake? (1/2)

“Boss Chen, one hundred mannequins is not a small number; do you mind if I ask why are you creating so many mannequins?”
“This is not our first cooperation, so I’m not going to hide certain things from you.” Chen Ge told Qian Guigen directly, “I’m making dead people mannequins. These one hundred mannequins will be made into cadavers and placed inside the Haunted House.”
Just hearing Chen Ge’s voice on the phone made the skin crawl on Boss Qian’s back. He shuddered. “Since it is for dead bodies, you can just use normal material, the material for one mannequin is about one hundred RMB.”
“The material needs to be of high quality, as least as good as the previous ones,” Chen Ge said firmly.
“Boss, your Haunted House is so dark, and it’s for dead bodies. Using good material is going to be a waste!” Qian Guigen did not quite get it.
“You might think I’m making mannequins but I’m actually creating a body that could replace blood and flesh. These mannequins are very important to the Haunted House.” Chen Ge had his own plan. To completely replicate the underground morgue, the real ‘paradise’ for the dead, he needed many mannequins, and each of them would be filled with lingering spirits of the dead.
“If it’s similar to last time, then the material for each mannequin will be around nine hundred, but since you’re asking for so much, I can try to help you get some discount. If one mannequin is 800, then it’ll cost 80,000.”
“No problem, please get it settled as fast as possible; I need them soon.”
“My workshop is currently vacated, and I will lend it to you for free as long as you let me stay and watch you work. I can pick up some skills from you.” Boss Qian was conflicted. “The biggest issue is I only have enough material to make twenty mannequins currently. I’ll need to leave the city to procure the rest of the material—some of them even came from overseas. You’ll need for wait for at least a week.”
“Just make it as fast as possible. By the way, do you have time now? I wish to go to your workshop to complete the base for the twenty mannequins.”
“Now‽ Sure, I’ll meet you in half an hour.” After hanging up, Chen Ge took out a new set of clothes from his cupboard and went for a shower. He put on the new clothes and left the Haunted House.
“How come I still smell like formalin after a shower?” Chen Ge did not mind it too much. When he left Qian Guigen’s workshop, it was already 9 am.
“The base for the mannequin is ready. Tonight, I can rush the rest. Tomorrow, the mannequins will be ready for use.”
Dropping 20,000 as down payment, Chen Ge left the workshop and returned to New Century Park.
He did not sleep for the whole night, and his body was at its limit. After greeting Uncle Xu, Xu Wan, and Gu Feiyu, he sat in the corridor and started to rest. The Haunted House’s framework was starting to come into shape. Each scenario was manned by someone or something, and it saved Chen Ge plenty of trouble. Now, all he needed to do was make sure the visitors signed the disclaimers.
The holidays were coming, and it was obvious that the number of visitors was rising. Other than the younger visitors who were there for the adrenaline, there were also families who came with their children. Chen Ge’s Haunted House pushed New Century Park back into the public eyes, and this park that had almost been forgotten by time started to revive.
