Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

He looked around and realized that this was indeed a huge space.

On the opposite side of the street, there were projects like the Demon Prison Internet Cafe, the Demon Prison Take-Out, Deposit Fitness, and so on. Looking up, the ceiling of the factory building had been painted into a dark sky. It seemed like dark clouds could be seen, making people feel a little dazed for a moment.

Bao Xu went to the nearest takeaway from him first.

The layout and renovation style of the first store could still be vaguely recognized but it had changed beyond recognition overall.

The tables and chairs in the dining area outside the restaurant had been ruined. There were all sorts of dirty and filthy items on them. There was even a white skeleton lying on the table.

The counter was in a mess. There seemed to be some meat residue that had not been cleaned up.

He stretched his head out and looked into the kitchen. The situation was even worse.

What was more interesting was that the food machine on the counter could still be used. However, its UI seemed to have some problems. The screen kept flashing.

Bao Xu did not have to guess to know that this food machine was the trigger for certain plots. There might be some special situations if he ordered food on it.

If he wanted to obtain special clues to break through, he would probably have to go deep into the kitchen. He might even have to fight some very terrifying ‘monsters’, which were the staff.

Bao Xu sniggered in disdain. Then, he turned around and headed straight for the nearby internet cafe.

Who the f*ck would want to eat at a place like that?!

Of course, there would be food provided in the take-out. Otherwise, wouldn’t those who stayed in it starve to death?

However, eating in such a place would indeed destroy his soul. Bao Xu was not hungry yet. Of course, he could not bring himself to eat.

As an internet addict, it was better for him to surf the net now.

Bao Xu realized that the overall situation was similar to Fish-Catching Take-Out when he came to the internet cafe. The renovation style and layout of the original industry were still retained to a certain extent but the details were completely different.

There was no cashier or white bones at the cashier’s counter. There was only a broken hand that seemed to be stained with blood. It looked like it had been cut off because it could not afford to pay the internet fees.

There were still fresh blood stains on the ground. Bao Xu guessed that two ghosts were surfing the net here. In the end, one ghost dug a hole for the other ghost. The two ghosts fought and stayed.

The computers in the internet cafe could be switched on and used normally. What’s more, they were all ROF computers. However, they had a special custom-made appearance. They looked strange and felt strange.

However, Bao Xu did not mind.

Internet addicts were fearless!

Previously, he had been busy with the Suffering Travels. After arranging the various person-in-charge of Tengda Corporation, he had to arrange the core employees of the various departments and the main person-in-charge of Tengda Brothers. After this chain of events, even Bao Xu was already very tired.

What’s more, Bao Xu’s desire for revenge was gradually decreasing. He had already taken revenge on everyone who should afterall!

It was not bad to use this opportunity to surf the net.

Bao Xu switched on his computer and realized that there was no internet here. He could not communicate with the outside world. What’s more, the computer’s desktop was filled with very Underworld horror themes.

The most ridiculous thing was that there were no software on the desktop. There was only a table full of horror games.

Bao Xu was amazed!

He had to admit that Chen Kangtuo and Ma Yiqun were game designers after all. Ruan Guangjian also had rich gaming experience. He was very particular about the details that he made. There were no loopholes at all.

At first, Bao Xu had thought that if GOG or other online games were on it, he would be immersed in the game. A few hours might pass in the blink of an eye.

Now that he saw this, this plan did not seem feasible.

Playing horror games in a haunted house could easily scare one to death if they invested a little more and immersed themselves in it!

Bao Xu read all the horror games silently but could not make up his mind to open them in the end.

Don’t make things difficult for yourself in this state, right?

He pondered for a moment and opened a notebook. As he pondered, he seriously wrote the work plan for the next stage of Suffering Travels on the notebook.

He had to turn fear and sorrow into strength!

His hardworking spirit could defeat all monsters and monsters.

Bao Xu began to seriously conceptualize the next stage of the Suffering Travels. Once this plan was formed, he could arrange for all the people in charge.

Once he entered this highly concentrated working state, he would become indifferent to many things around him. Even in such an environment, he would not be able to shake Bao Xu at all.

The terrifying sound of Bao Xu typing away at his keyboard filled the internet cafe.

...

At that moment, the various person-in-charge’s channels were filled with discussions.

“Has Brother Bao entered? How’s he doing?”

“What is the location closest to the entrance? It should be Demon Prison Take-Out. Rui Yuchen, did you scare Brother Bao?”

“No, I was still waiting for him under the kitchen table. However, he did not come in at all. He walked around the door and left.”

“Where is he now?”

“Chen Kangtuo, can’t you see the real-time surveillance cameras? Hurry up and synchronize the situation with us.”

“Brother Bao... went to the internet cafe.”

There was a short period of silence in the channel.

Look at what it means to not forget your original intention! Brother Bao had not forgotten about himself even under such circumstances. As an internet addict, his first thought was not to find clues as soon as possible, but to surf the net.

“Sigh, wait a minute! I remember that those computers only have horror games on them. Could it be that Brother Bao really has such nerves to play horror games in a haunted house?”

Chen Kangtuo said, “Wait, let me check the surveillance cameras.”

“F*ck, Brother Bao is not playing horror games at all. He opened a document and is writing the plan for the next stage of Suffering Travels. He is already thinking about how to take revenge on us.”

The people in charge were shocked.

“Shameless old thief is about to die, you don’t know how to repent!”

“When will the cycles of vengeance end? Brother Bao, you are still in our hands. Don’t force us.”

“We have to report to Boss Pei that Brother Bao did not work overtime during his leave. According to the company’s rules, he has to be severely punished!”

“What should we do now? Xiao Peng, you’re in charge of the internet cafe. Go and scare him.”

“No, no, no. That’s too low-class. I have a better idea.”

...

Bao Xu stared at the screen intently, completely immersed in work.

He tried his best to imagine the tragic suffering of these people in charge during the new Suffering Travels. He felt that the mental pressure they suffered was greatly reduced.

However, at that moment, a huge ghost face suddenly appeared on the computer screen!

Bao Xu was focused on the document and was not mentally prepared at all. He screamed and leaned back.

The movement of leaning back caused the mechanism on the special chair to be activated instantly, as if something pulled the chair back.

Bao Xu could not escape a safe distance. He continued to look into the face of the ghost. He was so scared that he panted. He only recovered after a few seconds.

He took a closer look. There was a mechanism under the chair. After activating it, a rope was connected to the depths of the computer table. It was no wonder that he felt something pulling him back when he suddenly retreated.

“These people are simply deranged! They even have mechanisms in their computers, not caring about morals.”

Bao Xu calmed down and scolded the people in charge in his heart.

He could not play with the computer anymore. No one knew if he would write a Tx document again. A ghost face would appear out of nowhere and scare him!

However, Bao Xu had already memorized the contents of the document after a simple sorting. Thus, he stood up and left.

After leaving the internet cafe, Bao Xu looked around and walked towards Deposit Fitness.

...

The people in charge in the channel became active again.

“Did Brother Bao scream just now? It’s so beautiful!”

“Chen Kangtuo, what did you do? You successfully scared Brother Bao.”

“Hehe, there are actually mechanisms in that computer. I can control all the computer screens to randomly pop up with ghost faces.”

“Good lord, did Brother Bao not get scared and shatter the monitor with a single punch?”

“No, no. Brother Bao is still more rational.”

“Normally, people who have the courage to sit in such places to surf the net would be more courageous. Thus, even if they are shocked, they should not do anything directly.”

“Where is Brother Bao now?”

“He went to the gym. Guo Licheng is preparing to receive the guests.”

...

Bao Xu came to Deposit Fitness and saw that the layout was still similar. However, the various fitness equipment had become a scary version.

For example, the dumbbells in the strength area had all become sinister white bones. When stacked together, it really felt like a mountain of corpses and a river of blood.

Bao Xu was very sure that there should be clues to escape from this place.

He searched the strength training area filled with white bones, wanting to see if there were any special props here.

All of a sudden, a terrifying roar sounded from the side.

A tall monster suddenly rushed out of the shadows. His body was filled with strange green hair. Through the huge wounds, one could see bony white bones and torn flesh. He also held a serrated butcher knife that was covered in blood.

“Grrr!”

The monster rushed towards Bao Xu with a strong visual impact.

Ordinary people would have been so scared that they would have run away by now. However, Bao Xu calmed down quickly and asked tentatively, “Guo Licheng?”

The monster froze.

A moment later, the monster seemed to be angered. It waved the butcher knife angrily on the spot. At the same time, the portable speaker exploded with a sharp roar.

“Grrr!”

Bao Xu was so shocked by the sudden loud sound that he shrunk his neck. However, he was not scared off. He said, “You are Guo Licheng, right? Stop pretending. No one else has such a huge body other than you!”
