There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game Chapter 255

Chapter 255: Chapter 236 You Sll So Good Chapter 255: Chapter 236 You Sll So Good All the scripts Xu Shuo had to make up were first-level ones, so it was quite easy for him.

If he wasn’t worried that frequently making up scripts and entering the Script World might lead to ntal overload and brain death, he could have completed sixteen scripts in a single day!

But he decided it would be better to go to bed early.

The next day was the weekend, and it was also the opening day for “Radiance·Mystery City” in the internet-famous Heiyu District.

Early in the morning, bouquets and red silk were all arranged and hung up.

There was no need for ostentatious arrangents like gongs, drums, or lion dances.

After a simple ribbon-cutting ceremony, Mystery City was officially open for business!

...

Even though it was the weekend, Xu Xi, who was busy with revisions, couldn’t leave school to be there; she had to ask Xu Shuo to send her videos of the opening.

Thanks to a week of flyers distribution and various advertisents as a warm-up, Mystery City’s opening attracted a good number of first-ti players.

Whether they could retain custor flow after this would depend on their subsequent operations.

The servers in the first-floor refreshnt room and the hosts of the Scripted Murder Ga on the second floor were all on duty; two people staffed the front desk.

Before, Ji Xiaoxia only helped out with handing out flyers on the side.

After the official opening, they hired another staff mber to distribute flyers.

After all, for a remote offline board ga store like this, the custor flow with and without flyers was as different as night and day.

Xu Shuo stayed in the shop for the morning and then continued to leave the managent to Li Ziwen while he returned to the studio to supervise the developnt of the online app.

The Scripted Murder Ga·City of Mist app had actually already been developed and was currently undergoing review and internal testing.

To save money, they didn’t hire professional gars for the internal testing; instead, the studio staff played it a few tis themselves, planning to let the vast number of players find the bugs once the app passed review and went live.

After all, as long as there were no bugs in the scripts, it was basically good to go.

Scripted Murder Gas had only beco popular in small circles in recent years, leading to a general scarcity of scripts, and an even smaller number of quality ones.

So Xu Shuo had borrowed quite a few from Script Space.

There was a rush on forums with people scrambling to post walkthroughs, detailing script reproductions and even providing videos—the resources were there for the taking, so why not use them?

After all, ensuring an abundant and diverse supply of scripts for players was important.

Online players would be nurous, so new scripts would need to be updated more frequently.

As for offline ga shops, ensuring a new script every week should suffice.

The entire Script Space, with its countless scripts, was ready for Xu Shuo to exploit.

…

Three days after the new store’s opening in Heiyu District’s internet-famous street, the initial heat had completely died down.

Once the novelty wore off, those who remained were mostly interested in board gas or Scripted Murder Gas, or they simply treated the refreshnt room like a milk tea shop.

But even so, all three rooms upstairs were fully booked every day; a session of Scripted Murder Ga took at least two to three hours, and often five to six, making it a perfect pasti.

Luckily, the hosts were trained and could handle several consecutive gas.

The two front desk attendants worked on a rotating shift system, with one hour of overlap in the middle, and four days off per month without food and accommodation included.

“Your benefits are just enough to get by,” said a fashionably dressed girl with short hair, curiously looking around the place before continuing, “You’re not planning on just coasting through your internship here, right?

What kind of professional title can you get with this?”

Ji Xiaoxia sat next to her, smiling shyly and saying, “It’s okay, I think it’s pretty good here.”

“No, co on, we’re in design, you know.

You’re going to graduate and hand over an internship experience from a board ga store’s front desk—do you think your teacher won’t kill you?” the short-haired girl said disdainfully.

“This is a Scripted Murder Ga store,” Ji Xiaoxia emphasized.

“What’s the difference?

You earn at most three thousand a month, right?

After paying your rent and food, how much can you possibly save?” the short-haired girl looked at her as if lanting her lack of ambition.

“Three thousand five,” Ji Xiaoxia corrected, head bowed.

“Can you not change the subject?”

“…”

There was a mont of silence before the short-haired girl spoke again, “Also, I heard that these board ga shops attract all kinds of young socialites.

Their relationships are a ss.

It won’t sound good if word gets out that you work here.”

Ji Xiaoxia frowned slightly upon hearing this, starting to speak but then holding back her words after so thought.

The short-haired girl rambled on, “The type of person who opens this kind of shop might not be ordinary.

What if he does sothing to you?

You won’t be able to talk about it!”

“Hey.”

All of a sudden, Ji Xiaoxia looked up, lowered her voice, and staring at her, said, “You know nothing about it yet continue to disparage my work.

Are you trying to flaunt your superiority, or are you trying to make lose this job on purpose?”

“What do you an, I’m just—”

The short-haired girl looked back, increasingly annoyed, but was startled when she locked eyes with Ji Xiaoxia for a mont.

She couldn’t describe the feeling, only that it was as if sothing terrifying had fixed its gaze on her.

The girl, who had seed timid and reserved, suddenly appeared sharp and dangerous!

Overwheld by that strong presence, the girl instantly felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.

She weakly said, “Why… why do you talk to like that?

I’m just looking out for you.

After all, we’re roommates.”

Ji Xiaoxia gave her a dismissive glance.

Thank goodness the manager wasn’t there today, and there was no one else nearby.

Otherwise, if the boss had heard the previous conversation, her job would have definitely been at risk.

Drinking her water, she said, “I’m clear about what I’m doing here, and you should just take care of yourself and stop gossiping.”

Humiliated and spoken to sarcastically, the short-haired girl’s face showed embarrassnt.

After a few retorts, she picked up her shoulder bag and left downstairs in a huff.
