Chapter 301: Chapter 213: Ghost House Opens (First Update)
While the Beautiful Country was in a storm over their confrontation with the Jieke Group, the Jieke Group itself was steadily progressing as per its agenda.
…
In the Chan Country Capital, Yang City, inside an ordinary apartment building.
Min Xingyao was having breakfast when he spoke to his wife, “Lisa, I need to go on a business trip to Mande City in two days.”
“Mande City? Haven’t there been news reports recently about unrest there?”
Lisa immediately frowned, her husband worked as a salesperson in a machinery company, and though their income wasn’t much, they managed to get by.
...
“Don’t believe the propaganda from the Chan Country Government, the safety and environment there are quite good.”
While biting into a piece of bread, Min Xingyao explained, “On one hand, it’s a business need; I have to discuss procurement cooperation with a subsidiary of the Jieke Group. On the other hand, a new Ghost House has opened up over there. They say that if you beat it, you get at least ten thousand dollars. I’m planning to give it a try. Mom’s condition has been dragging on for too long, we need to gather enough money for her treatment as soon as possible.”
Min Xingyao’s tone was heavy. He and his wife were deeply in love, and her parents had always been kind to him.
Now, his mother-in-law had developed a tumor six months ago, but due to a lack of money, they had been unable to afford the operation, and all they could do was watch as she grew increasingly frail.
Seeing this opportunity, he was determined to try it out. Ten thousand dollars would be enough to cover his mother-in-law’s surgery costs.
“Can we trust this?”
Lisa was somewhat skeptical. A Ghost House offering ten thousand dollars just for getting through seemed too good to be true.
“The Ghost House is operated by the Jieke Group. Are you worried that they can’t afford that amount of money?”
With just one sentence, Min Xingyao left Lisa speechless.
In Chan Country, who didn’t know the immense wealth of the Jieke Group – far richer than even the Chan Country Government itself?
It was simply unthinkable for the Jieke Group to default on payments with their strength.
…
“Nightmare Park will grandly open on August 18, offering the most realistic and spine-tingling horror scenes. With lifelike humanoids and layers upon layers of mechanisms, it will bring you the ultimate sensory terror experience. Join us now, and you could win rewards just by playing – the minimum prize is ten thousand dollars, with up to a million dollars up for grabs. Wealth is within your grasp, come and explore with us.”
In Zhenla Country, bordering Chan Country, a group of citizens stirred with excitement as this advertisement played on their televisions.
“Ten thousand dollars as a prize, is that even real?”
“It’s certified by the Jieke Group, a big corporation. Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid is one of their products, they wouldn’t deceive people.”
“I remember our Country has a visa-free agreement with Chan Country, it should be pretty convenient to go there.”
In no time, many people felt tempted. The GDP per capita in Zhenla was just under two thousand dollars, meaning even the lowest prize on offer at the Ghost House could represent several years’ worth of salary for them.
Some of them immediately sprang into action, while others were still watching from the sidelines. Yet even so, the number of interested individuals was not insignificant.
Scenes like these were unfolding in many other countries and regions.
The Jieke Group bombarded the media with advertisements for Nightmare Park, drawing tourists with the allure of high cash prizes.
…
In Hua Country, on the Douyu Live Platform.
“Haha, Sister Calm has conquered another horror game.”
“Unbelievable, Sister Calm. When I played this ‘Rot’ game, I kept screaming in fright, but Sister Calm played through it emotionless, straight to the end. She’s really badass.”
“When are you going to become the number one horror streamer, Sister Calm?”
The chat was bustling, with several thousand live viewers in the streaming room.

“Thank you for the support, my family. That’s it for today’s stream. Also, I have an announcement. I’ll be a bit missing for a few days. I’m planning to travel to Chan Country, and when I come back, I’ll have a surprise for you all,” said Shen Xueqing as she took off her headset.
As a female live streamer on the Douyu platform who mainly played horror games, Shen Xueqing was known not just for her high beauty standards but for choosing a path different from other female streamers. Instead of attracting viewers with screams and frights, she remained calm and expressionless no matter how terrifying the game or movie.
Regardless of the horrors she faced, she never frowned or showed any fear, slowly building her reputation as Sister Calm and attracting a solid following of viewers.
“Is Sister Calm also going to the opening event of Nightmare Park?”
“Lately, many streamers and bloggers, including some big names, have been invited. Jieke Group really has deep pockets!”
“With the million dollars hype, I wonder if Sister Calm can win it. I think with her skills, she really has a chance!”
“Make sure to edit the video when you’re back. I want to see if that so-called world’s biggest Ghost House is all talk and no show.”
As discussions among netizens continued, Shen Xueqing turned off the streaming software and stood up from her chair.
Shen Xueqing, a long-time horror enthusiast since her youth, had developed an increasingly high threshold for fear. As a grown-up, no horror game, movie, or show could stimulate her senses.
When she started streaming, Shen Xueqing had hoped to find new fearsome games and movies through viewer recommendations, rekindling her initial love for terrifying thrills.
Unfortunately, she had yet to fulfill this small wish.
“The world’s largest Ghost House, I hope it won’t let me down,” she muttered to herself. Contrary to what the viewers suspected, Shen Xueqing wasn’t being paid to promote for the Jieke Group. Her interest in Nightmare Park was pure curiosity, to see if the widely advertised attraction lived up to the hype and genuinely offered substantial substance.
