What if you take classic fairy tales and twist them and distort them with a horror theme. This is what you get. from Cinderella to snow white. Tall tales to nursery ryhmes. From psychological horror to some dark humor. It's all here.

"What is it?"
"Oh my god, is this...?"
"Wow! I'm not dreaming, right? We're going to start making movies again!
David took his time enjoying his coffee as he watched William rejoice over the script that he brought over.
Why wouldn't he? This script is a great sign that their film division is now revived!
William had done everything he could to improve their film division at the request of David. Personnel changes, expensive hardware upgrades, the introduction of new talents, and the hiring of veterans for their experience.
As much as it was troublesome to accomplish this task, having to complete tons of workloads and going through multiple talent pools, and also poaching from other companies, William feels like it was not as hard compared to the real challenge Hollywood companies have to face.
You see, many companies can also do these things, but in the end, the success of the company will only rely on one thing, the core of every company in Hollywood, Movies.
Even if they can perfect everything else, movies will still remain the lifeblood of many companies, the element that will determine the potential success of the company.
However, even if this was such an obvious thing, many companies still struggle and even more ended up falling off and shutting down after taking in losses after losses.
This is because movies are very competitive. There is only a limited number of days each year, a limited number of moviegoers, a limited number of theater screens, and every company have to share it.
The large companies can easily force their way into getting their own slice, but for the smaller ones, they only had to rely on their movies popping, and many times they are still taken advantage of with no way to fight back.
However, in the end, all of this, success or failure, lucky or unlucky, depends on the product itself, the movie.
So scripts, especially the high-quality ones, are usually in the collections of those huge companies. The only way for them to get their hands on a good script is to use a lot of money.
Or, they can also create scripts themselves. But what are the odds of companies having talented writers that can remain consistent?
These talented screenwriters also experience producing failed works, and their success stories are only determined by how many great scripts they make, not by how many failures they created.
This should highlight how much of a challenging task it is to purchase the right copyright and at the same time profit from it in its box office results.
Success in Hollywood just comes with too many barriers, and sometimes it just feels impossible to break through.
This is why their company used to sell videotapes of 'decent' movies they bought. Compared to those giant entertainment companies, it does seem like they are fighting for scraps.
But all of these thoughts disappeared when David told him he could write movie scripts for the company.
When he first heard it, William reacted in a very normal way.
He didn't believe it.
William has a lot of experience in these kinds of things, having been the CEO of a fairly successful Hollywood company.
There are a lot of these 'writers' who write scripts and send them to their company to be bought. Well, he had one thing to say about them. Their company is not a charity foundation.
They do not buy trash, but on the outside, he remained polite and chose to send those writers away with good wishes.
The main point is, writing is easy but writing movie scripts with high box office is too difficult. This is why some writers, those successful ones, can demand box office shares for their work, and companies accept their conditions.
It is just simply too challenging to produce high box office works.
David would obviously understand the thoughts of William, so after telling him that he has the ability to produce good scripts, he also brought with him his first work, SpongeBob.
After looking over his entire copyright of SpongeBob, including the illustrations and episodes, William couldn't help but feel excited.
What is talent? This is talent!
Of course, what came after was him convincing David to create his beautiful work but starting up SpongeBob now isn't realistic.
David wouldn't beg other TV Networks to broadcast his work. He would also not accept being taken advantage of by them once they see this treasure of an animation, so he chose to hold SpongeBob until he can broadcast it himself!
Willian immediately backed down after hearing his concerns. This is understandable. It doesn't matter. They have all the time in the world. They can wait.
After that, he had already forgotten about it, but now that David brought another script, he couldn't wait to look through it himself.
"Haha, our company finally has a new project again!"
William almost danced in excitement, feeling his face starting to get stiff from smiling, holding the manuscript firmly in his hands.
"Okay, calm down."
"You can register the copyright of this work as soon as possible."
After sitting back down, William still showed excitement but still nodded seriously.
"Yes, yes. I understand."
"Keep it secret for now. We can reveal it once we officially begin the project. Make sure there will be no loopholes in the copyright other parties can use."
William's eyes were fixed on David, continuously nodding his head on all of his instructions, remembering it all in his head.
David had full confidence in this movie. After all, in his past life, the "Saw" franchise accumulated a total box office profits of $874.1 million, making it one of the most successful horror film franchises in history.
The first "Saw" film earned $103.9 million worldwide with a production cost of $1.2 million, with its subsequent movies being more and more successful.
With their low-cost budget and horror movie's stable audience, breaking even is expected, and profits are almost a guarantee.
For the movie "Saw," David knows how successful this film is going to be, and he felt that it is suitable to be the first film their company is going to produce.
Why? This comes down to its genre.
Many genres such as musicals and romance have a specific group of fans. This can be said to be the same with science fiction fans, but science fiction movies are usually very costly, so there are many risks surrounding their production.
Many of these genres not only rely on engaging and entertaining plots but also on the protagonist and their popular casts.
Only the audience of horror movies will watch horror movies just because it is a horror movie.
The thrilling atmosphere is the main reason why moviegoers enter the theater, not because of a popular actor being in the movie.
The barrier of entry for horror movies is not very high. It only needs to be scary enough.
David has sufficient confidence that "Saw" will just be as successful as it will be in the future. This classic movie will shine whatever year it is released.
Nine films of Saw had been released, and each of these films had small production costs and huge box office returns.
In his previous life, Lions Gate Entertainment made a lot of profit from this franchise but now...
Thank you very much!
"Okay, for the rest of the week, I will be very busy. After I come back in the next week, we can go over the details, budgets, and everything. For now, you can read and see for yourself."
"Yes, boss!"

This is his dream.

Beauties everywhere, which one should I take home tonight?



"Remember this, what's mine will always be mine, and what's yours will also be mine." - David Frost

"Laila, if you don't want to take over here, I can handle it for you." After Claire sent the lawyer away, she came back to see Laila sitting behind her desk holding documents in a daze.
　　She can be said to have watched her grow up, knowing what kind of regretful role that unconscientious father occupies in the heart of little Laila. In her heart, Laila should enjoy the beauty of this world, and there is no need to worry about such a crumbling company.
　　"No, no. I think I will like it here." Laila smiled and shook her head.
　　Claire regarded her attitude as a nostalgia for her father and couldn't help but sighed: "My dear, I have studied this place before. Although I am not tired of debts, the good manpower has been almost dug out. To start a new shoot, you have to recruit people again. Did you know? The company can't even find a director!"
　　And the soul of a movie is not only a good director, but also a good script. Is there any qualified screenwriter who is willing to throw hard-written scripts to such a company that can't make it to the table?
　　Even if they bought a pretty good script for a big price, it would still not be effective without a good director. The director plus the screenwriter, plus other expenses, cannot afford the company's savings.
　　Well, there is the most important point. Even if the director has the director, the good script is there, and the film is shot, no one can guarantee that the film will have a box office and a market. Can't you see that the big film companies also lost their pants? Who dares to say that they do not have a good director and a good-looking script?
　　However, these problems are not a problem for Laila, because she is a director herself and a director with rich experience. Maybe she didn't have the opportunity to really confirm her talents, but it is not difficult to remake the classic films of later generations. Which movie will be so popular, which movie will be so bad that everyone is angry, will she not know?
　　Only before then, this company does have some problems that need to be resolved.
　　"I'll read these materials first, and then tell you what to do next." Laila shook the folder in her hand and smiled at Claire.
　　"Okay. Sigh." She sighed again, and reluctantly left Claire, who had cursed Reynolds to death.
　　The office calmed down again, and Laila looked at the records in the document and felt like she wanted to scratch her head. Regardless of whether this company has a five-story building in a good location, it does not produce much economic value.
　　The company did make a few movies a few years ago and made some money, but then it declined after the only talented Reynolds fell in love with Las Vegas. The company's main source of income relies on the DVD sales of several previous movies and making some barely B-level movies.
　　That's right, it is a B-level film. This mighty sounding Phoenix film company mainly relies on B-level films to make profits.
　　The so-called B-level movies refer to B-movies, not movie ratings, but low-budget movies.
　　Simple set, rough props, bad film texture, completely unknown actors... these are everything that makes up a B-level film.
　　Of course, the emergence of B-level films is not completely unprofitable. Think about it if there is no profit, will someone make it?
　　Although the quality of the B-grade film is very poor, it can't be cheap! The funding for a major production can even produce hundreds of B-level films.
　　And usually B-level movies will choose popular genres to shoot, such as gangsters, cowboys, science fiction, horror, supernatural and so on. The audience will shoot whatever genre they like, and there will always be some people interested in them.
　　The same goes for the Phoenix, they mainly rely on shooting supernatural and terrifying ketchup movies to survive until now. It's just that after the sudden death of the only pillar Reynolds Rodney, the slightly capable people in the company were either poached or left on their own. Those who have not left are estimated to be waiting for severance pay from the company's bankruptcy,maybe.
　　"Ketchup movie." Laila smiled wryly. That's really not what she is good at.
　　There have been many good ketchup movies in the history of movies, and the one that impressed her most is probably the ghosts. What impressed me was not being frightened, but the blood splashing out of the screen.
　　I don't know if it is a cultural difference. She has never felt that American horror films can scare her. On the contrary, ghost films in Hong Kong and Thailand's drop-heads are more horrifying.
　　One of the "missions" left by Little Laila is to watch several horror movies. In the past, she had a tumor in her head. Once her mood fluctuates severely, the tumor may be irritated and burst open. Therefore, she has always needed to maintain a stable and peaceful mood.
　　It's not difficult to complete the task. The difficulty is that none of them scared her. It seems that Americans prefer those brutal body cuts and full screen ketchup. And that kind of scary, she couldn't feel it...
　　Laila shook her fingers to calculate the situation in front of her: "There is not enough funds, no good scripts, and serious shortage of staff. I can act as the director, have my own distribution system, and Some cooperation resources." After all the
　　calculations, she felt that the future was quite bright, at least better than the situation she had encountered in her previous life.
　　What satisfies her the most is that Phoenix has its own distribution department. Although small, the sparrow is small and complete. Movies can be shot in cinemas without being shot, and distribution still accounts for a large proportion. If it weren't for such a distribution department, Laila might really have the idea of ​​selling the company and acquiring a mature film company.
　　"Which is the first film to be shot?"
　　Laila's fingers tapped the tabletop unconsciously.
　　The first movie is very important to her and the company. If the choice is not good, the company may collapse. There are too many film companies in Hollywood that went bankrupt because of investing in a failed film. Didn't even the later MGM come to the brink of bankruptcy because of "The Wind Whisperer"?(Windtalkers[2002])
　　First of all, we must ensure that the film is profitable. Of course, the more the income, the better, and it would be best to become a dark horse and become famous.
　　Again, this movie can only be a small cost. It's not that she is reluctant to spend money, but if she is asked to pay for it from the beginning and cannot rely on the company to be self financing, it may not have much effect on boosting the company's reputation.
　　Well, in fact, she just wants to build a movie kingdom of her own with her own strength. Simply put, it can be understood that her self-esteem is at work.
　　She believes that as long as she speaks, it will not be a problem for her mother and grandpa to ask for funding for a big production. But she may have confidence in herself, but after all, she is not too confident. After only making a bad film, she still made a few more films to practice her hands, and then studied how to shoot a big production

She can shoot the most terrifying horror films and also the most profitable commercial films; she can make literary films the value of commercial films, and can also make commercial films the effect of literary films.
Later generations commented on Laila, saying that she was synonymous with Hollywood miracles and one of the greatest directors of all time. She accidentally became the most powerful photographer and planner.
But she knows that all of this came from her biggest secret, that 'she was born again!'

"I hate myself" I can't help but say it while looking at the ceiling with my back on the bed.
It's hard to think something else when you're in a state of despair. I just started staring into nothing other than in my room. Why couldn't I have been given something that could help me in my life? It's so unfair. Everyone's so different from me, they're either; pretty, talented, smart or all of the above. Like how is that even possible? I'm telling you this shit I'm going through is so teenage like, like high school movie teenage girls like. Wait, I don't think high school movies are even accurate. I mean the actors are older than they should be. What with them being too mature faced and their perfect cheekbones.
'okay, stop, stop, stop. What the heck am I thinking?' I shook my head to banish them from my head.
What the heck am I even doing? It's like the word isn't for me, though they are for others. I looked at my bookshelf full with a plethora of different genres of books except horror. It's not that I don't like horror, I think I can even start reading horror books without having a nightmare. I just never started reading one since it conflicts my religion, even though I wasn't a regular. I want to read but I just don't have the feel for it. By the way, am I the only one who has hundreds of books but only read like 50 of them? Well, the world's big enough for there to be two things the same. So I guess all book nerds have more than I do.
I can't do this. I need to freaking change my mind. I want to scream. Even scream the F word on my balcony with people on the streets looking at you like you're crazy. I actually think that's a good idea. A stupid one but good. I mean it's therapeutic, that means something at least.
"I wish shits fall on everyone!" I scream in my room, with my face on my bed and my limbs flailing around.
"Kyaaaa!" What the heck was that? I looked outside my balcony and saw shit falling, like literal shit from birds.
Wait a minute, did I do this. "Okay, no shit, no shit, no shit" with my eyes wide and my mouth gaping, they stopped. Like literally stopped.
I went back to my room to contemplate and sat on my bed. Did I do it? I should do it again. I mean not do it again. I mean do it but not that.
'Ughhh' this teenage hormones of mine are gonna get my brain cells scattered and confused.
I stood up "I wish to have all 1st edition classic books"
Silence. Just silence. "Okay, let's do this again. Maybe I should close my eyes. Yeah, I think that'll work."
I closed my eyes " I wish to have all 1st edition classic books" Silence again.
"You know what? I can't believe I didn't say this before. I'm an idiot. A freaking idiot." Am I so desperate that I resolved to believing that I can make my wishes come true? No, only idiots do that.
"Chelsea! You're gonna be late for school!" Mom didn't have to scream everytime to tell me that, but she was used to not having alarms during her childhood years so she settled on being our human alarm. 
"Coming mom!" I looked at the mirror for a moment and said "I'm so ordinary I'm loving it. What does it matter if I'm not pretty, smart or talented? I have everything I need. Loving parents, annoying brothers and a heaven of puppies and of course, my beautiful books. I don't need anything else." With that in my mind, my courage was back. 
I took my bag to check if I have everything I need for school and once I was done I closed the door to my room and left.

Chelsea is ordinary. Her life is ordinary. Everything about her is ordinary. She hates ordinary, she hates everything until she's forced to like it. But what's this? Why is the world not ordinary anymore? Wait, I shouldn't be asking that. Why is everyone running and screaming? And isn't that the number 1 prettiest girl in our school. I'd recognize that blonde hair anywhere since we all have black hair. Back to topic, why is there black liquid coming out of her mouth? And is that bone sticking out of her leg? Holy sh*t!

I'm walking to the door and my sister's down on the couch she wakes me over to the couch and tells me to sit down yes can I help you with this my sister said pointing to the package I that in my arms. "No but can I got takeout for the both of us" "yes she's yell and grab her bag of food she's opening it and started to eat in asked me what movie do you want to watch tonight?" I responded what? "I don't know I'm in the mood for horror or for a romance or a comic book." She Gladstone remote off of the Moon table and turned on the TV and score thought going to the apps on the TV she picks out the net and start going to the app to find a movie. There was some very good movie classic of course coming to America Sunshine with dancing another movies she picks straight shot with dancing in the start watching a movie. I can sometime of catching them and going through the motions I decided it was time for bed I need to get up at 8:00 good to go to work and finish the reports if I want everyone to go to college. I said good night to my sister she says good night back to me.we both had off to our rooms. 



I was always an Otaku from elementary to high school. In use to be the top games nationwide but that was five years. I was in a midden school along with my friends were legendary among the community of the game. I was fourteen back then in how I'm nineteen. Back then VR technology was efficacy in wasn't that good but recently. Incorporation & companies have made a breakthrough in VR technology. So now I'm an office worker. Because of my reputation, I was offered the opportunity to test the new VR technology. I was a commercial that went something like this welcome to Stormflight Gate Online you're going to be in an immersive, fantasy VRMMORPG.The apocalyptic is coming

The protagonist, Qin Yi, was not a child with overflowing compassion, but a clear-headed soldier with a heart of stone.
He was influenced by the consciousness of the Zergs and naturally felt close and sympathetic to the Zergs. However, he could use his own rationality to resist and reject this feeling of closeness. He lied to the Zergs without any hesitation and ordered the extermination of the entire Zergs. This was what the protagonist of China should do.
Of course, this made the ending seem even more ironic.
If it was a saintly protagonist who called for peace with the Zergs and ended up on the Zergs' side, the audience would only think that he was a 'human traitor' and an idiot. They would not have any good impression of him.
However, Qin Yi was completely on the human side. Yet, he had been betrayed by a freak combination of factors and had no choice but to become the ruler of the Zergs. This made it difficult for the audience to hate him.
Thus, if Lu Zhiyao were to judge the movie, he felt that there were three special aspects to it.
The first was to use China's cultural perspective to re-explain a classic science fiction theme. To domestic audiences, this was a story that made most people feel that their values were compatible with themselves.
Secondly, such a huge investment and a large number of special effects had pushed the domestic sci-fi film to a peak. Regardless of whether it earned or lost money, it would at least leave a deep mark in the development of domestic sci-fi movies.
Lastly, this special performance was obviously different from other movies. It was a very novel attempt.
Lu Zhiyao was the only main actor in the entire movie. If his acting skills collapsed, the movie would collapse as well. However, if his acting skills could prop up the entire movie, a performance that lasted more than an hour and had a few changes in emotions would become a classic in the history of the movie.
There were no outdoor scenes and everything was done using the green screen. While it greatly increased the filming costs, it was also a way to play to one's strengths and avoid one's shortcomings.
Given the current situation in the country, there were many companies that produced game special effects, they had good skills, there were very few companies that produced film special effects so they had poor skills. What's more, Tengda Corporation had more technical reserves in the game.
Since that was the case, he would purposely not create so many realistic scenes. It would just be a space capsule and a green screen. All the combat scenes would be done with special effects to maximize the effect.
Apart from that, Lu Zhiyao also vaguely felt that this movie was closely related to the gameplay of Mission and Choice.
However, Lu Zhiyao was not a hardcore gamer. He did not know much about games, and he knew nothing about the details of 'Mission and Choice'. Thus, he could only figure out the connection between the two after the game was released and the movie was released.
After reading the last part of the script, Lu Zhiyao was even more certain that he had accepted the right film.
Come to think of it, how could Boss Pei's films be problematic? Every one of them would definitely be a classic!
If the previous Tomorrow is Beautiful was a sci-fi film that talked about human nature and social system, then Mission and Choice was a genuine sci-fi film.
What's more, this sci-fi film had a higher requirement for Lu Zhiyao's acting skills. If he could act well, Lu Zhiyao would definitely take another step on his path to becoming a Best Actor!
Lu Zhiyao felt full of energy at that thought. He continued to practice his acting skills in the mirror.

February 6th, Monday…
Pei Qian took a taxi to Thriller Hostel after he woke up and had his breakfast.
It was the Lantern Festival today, but it was not a legal holiday. However, Pei Qian specially instructed Fish-Catching Take-Out to add on to the employees' work meals as a special care for the holiday.
Pei Qian went to Thriller Hostel today because he had a huge task for Chen Kangtuo.
Thriller Hostel was completed in July last year. There were three projects: Desperate Escape, Haunted House Nightmare, and Ultimate Horror.
Boss Li and the others did a round of publicity in Jingzhou and even Handong Province after they were opened for business. Zhang Wang did a round of publicity through the shared phone booths in the country. They also did another round of publicity for various UP Masters' videos. Many people came to Jingzhou to challenge this thrilling project after "Boss Pei's lifestyle" became popular.
All in all, as a haunted house, Thriller Hostel was already famous throughout the country. Everyone's first reaction was the Thriller Hostel when mentioning haunted houses in Jingzhou and even the entire Handong Province. Many young people also came from other cities to experience it.
However, half a year had passed and the visitor flow of Thriller Hostel had already decreased. There was still a long way to go before they could recover the initial investment.
The most fundamental reason was that there was no cluster effect.
There were more than ten large amusement parks and dozens of projects. Not only were there haunted houses, but there were also roller coasters, pendulum rides, and other extreme and exciting projects. There were also relatively relaxing and suitable projects like the merry-go-round.
These large amusement parks were suitable for both young and old. They were open to all ages. What's more, they could play many projects at a time, and attract more tourists.
The Thriller Hostel project might be fun, even more so than other haunted houses. However, the first wave of horror enthusiasts would only come three or four times at most. They would not come every day.
Thus, the popularity naturally dropped.
Pei Qian felt that this was a good sign.
Looking at the Thriller Hostel project half a year after it opened showed that while it was profitable at the moment, it was still far from taking back the initial investment. It might take a few years, a dozen years, or even longer.
This meant that the strategy was right!
Pei Qian had more and more System Funds in his hands now. He could probably continue building more buildings in Thriller Hostel and burn more money.
… 
Pei Qian arrived at the office of Thriller Hostel and saw Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong.
It was Monday morning. There were not many tourists in the Thriller Hostel. Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong were in the office, busy with some daily matters.
Chen Kangtuo did not enter the haunted houses every day after becoming the person-in-charge of Thriller Hostel. Other than maintaining the normal operations of Thriller Hostel and dealing with unexpected situations, his main focus was on improving the experience of the visitors.
The completion rate of these three projects was already very high, but there was still room for improvement in some details. Some buildings and decorations in the venue also had room for improvement.
Chen Kangtuo had been staying in Thriller Hostel all day. He was almost as familiar with the place as his own backyard. When he had nothing to do, he would suggest some minor renovations.
Thus, the experience that Thriller Hostel gave tourists was much better than when it first opened.
Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong were a little excited to see Boss Pei.
Boss Pei did not forget us!
Boss Pei had not been here for half a year ever since Thriller Hostel officially opened for business. Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong would have thought that they were abandoned by Boss Pei if not for the huge investment in this place.
Boss Pei obviously had a new mission now that he was finally here!
Pei Qian sat down on the sofa in his office and sipped his tea. He did not intend to keep them in suspense and went straight to the point.
"I don't have anything special to do today. I just arranged a new job for you."
"I'll give you a hundred million yuan to work on a new project at Thriller Hostel for a year."
Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong were stunned.
What was that?
A hundred million yuan??
Both of them were at a loss.
That was because Tengda Corporation had only invested fifty to sixty million yuan in Thriller Hostel so far. What's more, they had done three projects!
The three projects - Desperate Escape, Haunted House Nightmare, Ultimate Horror - included the Golden Maze in the garden area, the maid cafe, and so on. They used the original factory, so they were mainly modified and set up in the factory.
Tens of millions was enough to create a terrifying effect.
The supporting facilities around the three projects were paid by Boss Li and the others.
Previously, he had spent fifty to sixty million yuan on three projects. Now, he had to spend a hundred million yuan on one project?
The cost and working period of this project was much higher than the previous three projects!
What kind of project was this?
"Boss Pei, are we building a haunted house this time?" Chen Kangtuo probed.
Pei Qian shook his head. "No. 
Back then, Pei Qian had decided to build a haunted house mainly for two purposes: to lose money, and to scare Ruan Guangjian.
However, he had not achieved either of his goals in the current state of Thriller Hostel!
His second goal to scare Ruan Guangjian was a total failure. He was having the time of his life in Ultimate Horror instead.
Wouldn't he be letting him off easy if he were to build a new haunted house?
What's more, the more they invested in haunted houses, the more likely they would be able to attract horror enthusiasts from all over the world.
Thriller Hostel was already quite famous among the group of horror enthusiasts. If they spent another hundred million yuan on renovating the new haunted house project, its scale would probably be comparable to a super-large haunted house like Wushan Mental Hospital. It would become the largest haunted house in the country in a single leap. The consequences would be unimaginable.
Thus, after some consideration, Pei Qian decided to put the haunted house aside and spend the hundred million yuan on other projects.
The reason why he set such a high budget was mainly because of the long working period.
The project this time would take two cycles which would take almost a year. Who knew how much money he would earn this year? He had to set the budget higher so that he would not be caught when he had to spend more money.
Chen Kangtuo heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Boss Pei say that it was not a haunted house project.
Lucky!
That was because the design of the Thriller Hostel had almost drained him and Hao Qiong of their ideas. If he spent another hundred million yuan to build a haunted house, it would at most be a large haunted house like the Mt. Fog mental hospital. There might not be anything new.
Doing other projects would also enrich the entertainment variety of Thriller Hostel.
Chen Kangtuo asked, "Boss Pei, what exactly is the project this time?"
Pei Qian had already thought about it. He immediately answered, "It's a roller coaster, but it's not a traditional roller coaster."
Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong were confused and continued listening intently.


I really just want to lose money! T_T
Best boss ever, prodigy of the business world, genius creator, visionary of the century.
These are the descriptions used for Pei Qian, President of Tengda Corporation.
Ever since his rebirth, Pei Qian finds himself in possession of a system that rewards him if he manages to lose money.
Instantly, a brilliant idea comes to mind — making crappy games!
"If the game flops, all my investment cost will be lost!"
"How difficult can it be to lose money?"
Indeed... how difficult can it be?

Pan Xing and Qi Daiyu stared at each other in silence.
Pan Xing finally turned away.
"I will bring back the South Group."
Qi Daiyu sighed.
He was socially inept, but even he noticed a slight change in Pan Xing's attitude towards himself.
Pan Xing started talking loudly to the group of students, pointing and organising them into groups. Finally, he took about 10 students with him and set off in the direction of the South Building. The rest of them sat meekly in the centre of the field, sneaking glances at Qi Daiyu and whispering to each other.
They were like lost sheep, not knowing what to do without their leaders.
Minutes passed and clouds formed in the sky. About 10 minutes after Pan Xing left, rain started pouring. The crowd of students scattered like flies and gathered in the pavilion, which had a large roof, shielding them from the rain.
Qi Daiyu continued drawing. His pages filled with droplets and the book became soggy. It flopped in his hands and he put down his pencil, unable to draw anymore.
He sighed and stood up.
15 minutes had passed since Pan Xing had left. At this point, he was sure that immeasurable danger lay within the South Building. Whatever was within the building, had managed to keep over 20 ability users, including a Legendary system powerhouse with 4 abilities.
He picked up his sword from beside him and began walking towards the building.
He owed Pan Xing a favour. Afterall, without Pan Xing, he was absolutely unable to prevail against the horde of zombies!
His 195-centimetre frame quickly approached the South Building. He arrived before the door and reached out with a muscled arm, pushing the large door open gently.
He stepped inside.
Once inside, the sound of the thudding rain was blocked by the thick walls and compact doors. It was completely silent.
Qi Daiyu grinned.
He was a horror movie enthusiast.
This was the classic situation for a horror movie! Qi Daiyu had many thoughts about horror movies and the various ideas and plots. One such thought was what if 2 horror movie antagonists collided? What if Jason met Freddy? Oh wait, that already happened…
Nonetheless, Qi Daiyu quickly assumed the character of a horror movie antagonist.
He let his long arms droop and the edge of the sword dragged on the floor. A strange screeching sound was created as Qi Daiyu walked along the corridor. He began whistling the theme tune for a cartoon show from his childhood as he walked.
Qi Daiyu walked slowly, checking every nook and cranny of every room, in every corridor. The screech of his sword and the whistle never stopped.
Despite his efforts, every room was empty.
However, what really gave Qi Daiyu a strange feeling was that not even the bodies and blood remained!
In all the other buildings, blood and gore filled almost every classroom, a scene of human versus zombie. The South Building's rooms were completely clean! Not a speck of blood, bone or even dust was present!
The silent pressure built up on Qi Daiyu's shoulder with every clean room he checked. His whistling was slightly out of tune and his hand trembled ever so slightly.
He suddenly realised that horror movies were a lot scarier once you were within the movie, instead of watching it.
He chuckled at the thought and then continued walking, confidence refilling his body.
In the South Building, were 15 classrooms, 5 on each floor.
The thing that made the South Building different to the other 3, was that, at the top of the South Building, was the School Hall!
It was a huge hall, easily fitting the 500 school members and more.
Qi Daiyu had gone up 3 floors and checked 3 classes on the 3rd floor, and everything was empty.
He was sure that the danger was in the School Hall, and as such, he didn't bother checking the final 2 classrooms, just glancing inside the windows and moving on. He began the journey up the stairs, letting his sword bang loudly on every step.
Qi Daiyu came to a stop outside of the huge door. It was made of wood, intricately carved.
He reached out with his spare arm, then froze.
Faintly, he heard movement just across the door.
He grinned, his mouth stretching wide across his mouth.
He lifted a thick leg and smashed it on the door!
'Boom!'
The door crumpled inwards and exploded across the huge hall.
Qi Daiyu lowered his shoulder and charged into the room, tensing his sword arm, ready to swing.
He then saw the inside of the hall.
His thoughts raced across his mind and his brain through out ideas one after the other.
The hall was filled with at least 50 zombies!
The size of the hall was so big that it housed the zombies comfortably.
Qi Daiyu didn't react that badly at the zombies, having slain them like cattle. However, their actions alarmed him.
They were all crawling on the floor, piling and climbing on top of one another. At the top of the pile, was a huge zombie!
He was at least 2.5 meters tall, with huge limbs and wriggling muscles. Its veins pulsed a effervescent blue and its skin was different to the other zombies, not being rotten and mouldy. Rather, it was quite smooth and clean, yet its red and bloodshot eyes betrayed its zombification.
It sat on top of the pile like a king on a throne.
Qi Daiyu squinted his eyes, seemingly familiar with the huge zombie. A faint familiar feeling arose in his memories and finally, he realised.
The huge zombie was Cheng Meng! Before the Apocalypse, which seemed like an eternity ago now, he spent time together with him on top of the school roof, drawing!
Qi Daiyu sucked his teeth at the radical transformation.
Cheng Meng stood up, on top of his throne of flesh, and gave a bloody smile towards Qi Daiyu.

Qi Daiyu, a normal teenager, spent his time drawing and making music. He was quiet and calm, preferring not to draw attention to himself. However, the Apocalypse dawned upon the world. Zombies ran rampant, devouring humans.
Caught in the tides of chaos, Qi Daiyu has to overcome the dangerous trials and frightening tribulations, with the help of the laggy system.

"Hey, buddy, be good today and play with Aunt Caroline, okay? I will be home before dinner." before Kane left, he knelt down on the floor and told Alex: "I know it's Saturday, but we will go to the movies tomorrow evening, okay?"

"Fist bump promise?" Alex extended his right fist forward.

"Fist bump promise." Kane gently bumped Alex's right fist, then stood up and ruffled Alex's hair and said to Caroline: "Thank you again, Caroline. I owe you big this time."

"Yeah, yeah, just be home before eight thirty. I promised a friend I will help him out with some pretty crappy stuff." Caroline looked back at her full and heavy backpack resting besides the shoe shelf.

"I will be back much earlier. Promise." Kane smiled then looked at Alex: "And look at that sword! Be sure to protect the house with it."

"Thanks Dad, this is a gift from Auntie's boss." Alex waved the meticulous mini wooden sword with flame and lightning patterns on it.

"Yeah, my Boss is handy like that." Caroline shrugged and said.

"Auntie, can we watch a horror movie?" after Kane left and both Caroline and Alex enjoyed a few rounds of video games, Alex asked Caroline.

"Huh, why? Aren't you scared?"

"It's close to Halloween, so I want to share with my friends what I have watched." Alex sat down on the couch, "Can we?"

"Okay, you choose and I'll tell you if it is Okay."

"What about this? 'The Massacre of The Lone Hill'?"

"No! We are both too young to see that."

"Then what about this? 'The House Made of Bones'."

"No! No psycho killers."

"How about this classic? Rosemary's Baby?"

"No creepy cultists."

"'The Knockers at Night'?"

"No home invasions. Let me close the doors and windows in the other rooms."

Finally, they settled on a zombie movie. And Caroline's reason was that zombies are gross but not fear-inducing - watching a zombie movie would not make anyone lose sleep at night; maybe the killings and gore could be slightly traumatizing, but Alex was a strong minded kid so he could definitely handle it.

"Why do they always split up? And why do they always open the gate to save the dog?" almost halfway through the movie, Alex asked, "If I were in a zombie apocalypse, I am not saving an old lady with a dog."

"Geez, Alex, how many of these movies have you watched behind your father's back?"

"Just a few. I really try to compete with Pete and David. They watch all kinds of creepy movies." Alex put some popcorn in his mouth: "Dad leaves at night a lot these days. So I just watch movies on my pad when he's gone."

"Hmmm… I'm sorry. Next time this happens, you can give me a call, see if I can cheer you up."

"Thanks, but it's okay. I'm used to it." Alex's mature demeanor made Caroline slightly sad: "When Dad's away, I just watch movies to keep things off my mind. You won't believe how much pick-up lines I learned from rom-coms."

"Buh-buh-buh. Rom-coms?"

"Yeah, I would've watched some more exciting stuff if Dad didn't have child protection enabled." Alex chuckled and took a look at Caroline: "So it's only with you that can I get a chance to watch some non-PG stuff."

"Aren't you afraid you're gonna get nightmares?"

"I have nightmares even when I'm not watching horror movies." Alex shrugged.

"Wait, what? Why didn't you tell me? Did you tell your dad?" Caroline swiftly paused the movie and asked Alex with concern: "What do you dream about? How often are these nightmares?"

"Don't worry, Auntie, I'm completely okay." Alex became the one comforting Caroline: "It's okay, I'm used to it. It actually kinda inspired me to write my own mini stories."

"I insist, Alex. Tell me about these nightmares." Caroline looked Alex in the eye: "And I would like you to know, you shouldn't have to get used to it. You should tell your dad and me about things that trouble you, okay? You should feel comfortable doing that."

"But dad's always very busy, and he's worried about me enough. I don't want him to worry more about me. And now he's out there following some bad guy because he wants me to go to a good school."

"You knew? For how long?"

"Dad talks loudly on the phone. It's not that hard to know what's going on."

"Look, Alex." Caroline gently held onto Alex's shoulder: "It's very sweet, but you should be able to tell your dad and me about your feelings, and especially the things that bother you. Communication is very important for family. Your dad will worry for you for a bit, but it will solve your problems sooner and won't lead to a big mess. Just like here, if they talked about the danger of the virus more openly the zombies won't be walking around."

"Or if they helped the old lady keep her dog in check, they wouldn't be dead." Alex rubbed his eyes and said: "I understand now, thank you Auntie."

A tingling sense of chillines and a bad smell seeped through the open window next to them, Caroline turned to the window and looked outside with a frown on her face: the day seemed to be getting dark much earlier than usual, and very quickly, she noticed that the darkness gradually clouding the sunlight was not because of actual clouds or the sun setting earlier than before, it was because of a sneaky, thin but gradually thickening black smoke.

"Alex. Go upstairs." Caroline lifted Alex up from the couch: "Now! Do you have a safe place to hide?"

"Okay, what happened, Auntie?" Alex sounded scared from Caroline's sudden change of demeanor: "Something wrong?"

"I'm not sure. But bring me to a place you can hide. Trust me." Caroline looked at the mini wooden sword still in Alex's hand.

"Okay. It's in my bedroom. " Alex nodded and ran upstairs as Caroline locked the windows and front door, and then ran checking other entry points of the house.

"Fuck!" even though Alex's is still in the house, Caroline couldn't help but swear loudly, when she tried to call both Jianmen and Jason but ended up not getting any signal. Even the smart TV was displaying an error message saying that there was no internet connection.

He left his home, unwillingly, to a realm of cultivation, Xianshu, mythical manuals and Dao. And now he’s here due to a failed attempt at going home, a place bears a lot of resemblance but not the same.

“At least it’s close enough here. I’ll get there on my next jump.” Jianmen Yu said to himself, “But while I’m prepping, let me do my old job here for a bit.”

And there we have it, “Xianshi Inn”, run by a cultivator, who’s not of this world. Don’t mess with it or its employees, the owner will kick your ass, no matter who you are, no matter WHAT you are.
