Chapter 454 Calculating the Difference
On stage, the story continues.
Zhang Heng delivered a captivating performance, as always.
Seeing the immense pain he had caused everyone, Zhang Wei instantly lost his embarrassment and became even more engrossed in the moment.
The wails of the crowd below grew louder and louder.
"Okay, okay, the domineering CEO with twin tails, the tall, innocent-looking girl, Maisie!!"
"I don't know why, but the more I watch, the more I want to watch, even if it's torture!"
"Finally, someone has verified the plot I had in mind! Switching genders doubles the fun!"
……
Some impatient ghosts simply threw ghost coins onto the stage.
Her actions inspired the other ghosts to throw things up as well.
They threw too many, and almost tripped Zhang Wei.
Of course, Zhang Heng hadn't read so many novels for nothing. She immediately stepped forward to help Zhang Wei, and the two of them spun around in circles, creating a classic eye contact.
Five minutes have passed.
The script is nearing its end.
The two bowed in farewell, and another wave of Ghost Coins were donated.
They hurriedly picked up the ghost coins and came to Lu Youyou's side.
"Big sister, I estimate there are two hundred!" Zhang Wei said excitedly.
Lu Youyou put all the Ghost Coins into her backpack slots, and the total number showed 603. She had 401 before she left.
"You two earned 202 Ghost Coins."
"yeah!"
Zhang Wei grinned broadly, when suddenly his shoulder was touched, making him jump in fright.
He turned around and saw the beautiful female host, and started laughing again.
"Gentlemen, your performance was very popular with the audience. Would you like to line up for the next performance?"
Zhang Wei and Zhang Heng simultaneously turned to the side, revealing Lu Youyou behind them, gesturing for her to reply.
How many people are ahead of us?
Host: "There are 323 performers in line ahead of us."
"Never mind then, we're short on time."
The host said regretfully, "Well, you're welcome to come again next time."
The host swayed away, and Zhang Wei watched, completely absorbed.
Cui Qi slapped him on the back of the head: "Why don't you two have a talk?"
Zhang Wei chuckled: "I was just wondering how she could keep her balance while wearing such high heels. It's strange."
“Let’s go, to the seventh floor,” Lu Youyou said.
After paying 49 ghost coins, the group went up the stairs.
"Sister Yuan, we're almost there! They're right there!"
The sound was very loud, even louder than the performance.
Lu Youyou turned around curiously and saw a familiar face.
Jiang Aiyuan.
What is she doing at the Ghost Mansion?
Could she also be someone chosen by the adults?
Lu Youyou smiled at her, but because she was wearing a mask, Jiang Aiyuan didn't recognize her and didn't react at all. She just turned her head indifferently and asked the host a question.
"Big sister, what's wrong? Is it your enemy?" Zhang Wei asked.
"No, our relationship should be considered friendly."
Although they hadn't had much contact, she had learned about Jiang Aiyuan before through the public chat.
To save her husband, she single-handedly stormed into the largest gang in her area, but even after slaughtering the gang, she still couldn't rescue him, and from then on, she became indifferent.
But indifference doesn't mean cold-bloodedness; she saved many people along the way and even started her own gang.
She is a brave and responsible career woman, and Lu Youyou admires her very much.
“If we’re not enemies, let’s go. The stairs aren’t regular stairs; they’re a visible teleportation tunnel,” Cui Qi said.
"it is good."
The group continued upstairs, where the seventh floor was a vast expanse of white light, steaming with heat.
Lu Youyou almost thought she had gone to the wrong place.
She turned to look at Cui Qi: "There's nothing here?"
"This is the largest multi-person sauna in the instance. It has a large space while ensuring everyone's privacy. Would you like to stay and enjoy it?"
"Never mind, let's just keep going up."
She fumbled for the stairwell based on her memory, and overheard two ghosts from graves whispering to each other.
"Have you heard? The ghost on grave number 250 was killed by King You for killing someone without cause!"
"Huh? Number 250 is the most honest one. He used to be bullied by humans. How could he dare to kill someone for no reason? Did the humans trigger his killing spree?"
"Have you forgotten the premise of his killing? He was unlucky back then, and he only got to go on a killing spree because he drew a human who had to perform a striptease in front of him. Do you really think that humans living today would be so mentally unstable as to perform a striptease in front of a ghost on a grave?"
"Right, it's hard to reach the killing spot of number 250. He usually guards the most remote gravesites, just to avoid being discovered by humans. How strange is that?"
"Not only is 250 strange, but 2333 is strange too! His killer trait is that the jokes humans tell are funnier than the jokes he tells humans, but 2333 is mute..."
"Did he kill someone for no reason?"
"No, I heard he secretly breeds puppet worms and forces humans who haven't provoked him to eat them."
"Holy crap, I knew being a wandering ghost out there wasn't good! It's much more comfortable being a security guard in the mansion, where you don't run into any of those weirdos...who?!"
Lu Youyou felt a little disappointed; she wanted to continue listening.
"I want to go to the eighth floor, but the steam here is too thick, and I can't see the way."
"Oh, why didn't you say so earlier? I could have lowered the concentration."
After saying that, one of the grave ghosts took out a remote control and beeped it twice. Although there was still steam in the room, the path could be seen clearly.
"Did you bring Ghost Coins? You can't log in without Ghost Coins."
"some."
Lu Youyou took out 56 ghost coins, and the two grave ghosts stopped blocking her way and stepped aside to let everyone pass.
Upon entering the eighth floor, the familiar spicy and savory aroma filled my nostrils.
This is a hot pot restaurant, and there's a job posting on the door: 5 Ghost Coins per hour.
This restaurant is very popular; the staff are visibly busy and hardly have a moment to rest.
Zhang Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "I almost thought it was a rice noodle shop again. It's better to find a waiter at a hot pot restaurant, haha."
Zhang Heng asked, "Big sister, if we go up to the 17th floor in one go, how much money are we still short?"
"Wait a minute, let me calculate it."
按照每层楼的费用是楼层数乘7，9楼是63，10楼是70…
In the end, she needed a total of 819 Ghost Coins, but she only had 498 left in her inventory.
“We still need 321 Ghost Coins,” Lu Youyou said.
Zhang Heng took out paper and pen and started writing and drawing, while also talking.
“1个人1小时能赚5个幽灵币，咱们四人就是20个，现在是8：50，如果从9点干到晚上10点就是13小时，能赚260个幽灵币。”
"A night's accommodation costs 35 coins, which means I only earned 225 coins today. If I start working at 6 a.m. tomorrow and work until 9 p.m., I can earn 300 coins!"
“225加300等于525！超过321了！咱们可以直奔17楼，然后在17楼住宿，第二天再找营救办法！”
Zhang Wei agreed, saying, "With 204 coins left, we can stay on the 17th floor for 5 more days. We should be able to find a way to get to the 18th floor."
“Okay, let’s go with this plan, but we need to apply for jobs quickly and try to start work before nine o’clock,” Cui Qi urged.
Lu Youyou went to the front desk and expressed her desire to work as a waitress.
Contrary to her expectations, the other party did not ask her for any information, but simply gave her four questionnaires.
She kept one for herself and then sent one to the remaining three people.
The front desk was a long table. Lu Youyou found a spot that wouldn't interfere with the cashier's work and filled out the questionnaire.
Upon closer inspection, I was dumbfounded.
