The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 77: Aggro-Attracting Talent


Mu Shihan and the others looked at Wang Lubo, who seemed like a completely different person after just thirty seconds, and couldn't help exchanging glances, all feeling quite astonished.

In fact, Xiao Feng's method worked because he hit upon the weakness of the haunted house attraction.

Why do haunted houses make people feel scared?

It's mainly because of the unknown and the well-executed horror atmosphere, which relies on visual and auditory cues.

That's why haunted houses are often very dim, with thrilling background music. Simply changing the background music and lighting can instantly ruin the atmosphere.

And in terms of ruining the atmosphere, Xiao Feng is an absolute expert. He changed the background music for Wang Lubo to something more upbeat, and the problem was immediately solved.

However, this made it difficult for the staff inside. They've seen people come in with headphones before, but this was the first time they saw someone laughing so happily and obnoxiously.

The staff started whispering into their radios: "Why do I feel like that fat guy is mocking us?"

"I feel the same, laughing so sleazily, you can tell at a glance he's no good!"

"Stop talking, let him laugh, just wait and see. I'm going to scare the crap out of that fat guy later."

Wang Lubo had no idea that his smile had successfully angered the haunted house staff and was still following the group without a care in the world.

Xiao Feng, Mu Shihan, and Song Keren were walking at the front, taking slow steps.

However, just as they stepped down the last stair, Song Keren suddenly widened her eyes: "I think I stepped on a switch."

Before the words were out, a white figure swiftly dropped from above. A woman in white clothes, with disheveled hair and a long tongue sticking out, dangled in the air, swaying back and forth.

Song Keren screamed, instinctively grabbing Xiao Feng's arm, while Chen Xiuxiu's reaction was even more exaggerated as she directly hugged Wang Lubo by the waist.

Even the little girl who suggested coming to the haunted house began to feel a bit regretful. Although she knew it was fake, she couldn't help but be startled.

"This haunted house is clearly low quality, using such low-grade tricks to scare people," Xiao Feng said with disinterest.

Looking at the arms around his waist, Wang Lubo couldn't laugh anymore. However, remembering how scared he was earlier, he was too embarrassed to push Chen Xiuxiu away and just let her continue hugging him.

As they turned a corner, Xiao Feng glanced at the marks on the wall and reminded, "Stay close to the wall, don't get scared."

After saying this, he walked ahead, with Mu Shihan holding onto the hem of his clothes, following closely.

However, Wang Lubo and Chen Xiuxiu were not so lucky; both being a bit on the heavier side, they were suddenly grabbed by arms jutting from the wall as they passed.

Chen Xiuxiu screamed repeatedly, and Wang Lubo almost collapsed on the ground. He had been wearing headphones and hadn't heard Xiao Feng's warning, so the sudden scare nearly scared him senseless.

"Damn it! Doesn't this damn thing allow people to enjoy themselves?" Wang Lubo's temper flared: "Let me go, do you hear? If not, believe me, I'll bite you!"

The moment the staff inside heard that, they quickly withdrew their hands, feeling disgusted. Can you believe this includes threats?

"See, just a few words and they were scared off," Wang Lubo said triumphantly.

Everyone, including the staff hiding in the shadows, was utterly disgusted, unable to understand what this fat guy had to be so proud of.

After Xiao Feng and the others left, a staff member behind the wall said, "Brothers in the back, try harder. This fat guy really is something else!"

Soon someone responded: "Don't worry, I refuse to believe we can't scare him."

Thanks to Wang Lubo's antics, none of the group felt like exploring any longer and just followed the guide map, hoping to get out as soon as possible.

Turning a corner, Xiao Feng and the others at the front paused upon seeing some people dressed as zombies, who spoke in low tones: "You guys go on ahead, we're just looking for that fat guy."

Xiao Feng was speechless. Bozai's ability to attract animosity was a bit too strong.

"Feng bro, why aren't we going?" Wang Lubo shouted from the back, and Chen Xiuxiu glanced at him thinking, with those headphones, even if Xiao Feng said something, he wouldn't hear it, so asking is pointless, right?

"You take care of yourself," Xiao Feng replied, then quickly pulled Mu Shihan and Song Keren towards the end of the corridor.

Wang Lubo and Chen Xiuxiu continued forward, but as soon as Chen Xiuxiu turned the corner, she screamed non-stop. A pale-faced, disheveled "zombie" grabbed her wrist, lowered its voice, and said, "Move forward!"

Saying that, it pushed Chen Xiuxiu towards the next stop, where Xiao Feng and the rest were.

Chen Xiuxiu froze, looked at the trembling Wang Lubo, and resolutely rushed forward to shield Wang Lubo.

Looking at the broad back in front, Wang Lubo felt like he was back in his childhood. Back then, Miao Yueqian stood protectively in front of him just like this...

The next moment, Wang Lubo suddenly stood up and shouted with full energy: "Everyone get out of my way!"

But the staff, having been disgusted by Wang Lubo before, refused to easily give way and continued advancing fiercely.

Steeling his nerves, Wang Lubo quickly surveyed the "zombie" in front, confirmed the person was female, and immediately placed his hands on his belt: "I'm warning you guys, if you don't move, I'll pull my pants down."

This damn thing!

The staff were going crazy. Was this fat guy still a decent person?

Taking off pants at a moment's notice?

Yet, the staff was a bit unsure and, fearing Wang Lubo would really pull his pants down, reluctantly gave way.

"Let's go!" Wang Lubo waved to Chen Xiuxiu and swaggered towards Xiao Feng, proudly saying, "Feng bro, with this level of skill, they still tried to scare us? I made them back off with just a few words."

"Bozai..." Xiao Feng patted Wang Lubo's shoulder and spoke earnestly: "It's better to keep a low profile in the future, to avoid getting beaten to death sometime."

Chen Xiuxiu followed up and looked at Wang Lubo with eyes full of admiration: "I didn't expect you to be so clever!"

"Of course!" Wang Lubo laughed.

Xiao Feng, Mu Shihan, and Song Keren felt utterly speechless. These two really were a perfect match, weren't they?

After leaving the haunted house, Mu Shihan suggested going on the roller coaster. This time, Wang Lubo refused to go even if it killed him and sat down at a fast-food restaurant, with Chen Xiuxiu naturally following him.

Xiao Feng wasn't really interested in these activities either, but he couldn't resist being tugged along by the little girl, so he went along.

For an entire afternoon, Mu Shihan played to her heart's content, wanting to try everything she saw, and Song Keren gradually let go of her inhibitions, joining in the fun enthusiastically.

As dusk settled and darkness began to stretch across the sky, Mu Shihan reluctantly said, "When can we come back here to play again?"

"There will definitely be a next time," Song Keren smiled and then turned to Xiao Feng: "Isn't it time for you to treat us to dinner?"

"Didn't you say you'd cover all expenses?" Xiao Feng replied, slightly puzzled.

Song Keren frowned: "Everyone knows you're quite rich now, what with the supercars and the five-star hotels. Treating us to a meal is nothing to you."

"That's not true!" Xiao Feng said with a serious face: "One must not forget one's original intention. It's true I have money now, but one's original intentions must not change. Besides, if I don't treat you, you'll call me stingy. If I treat you to a lavish feast, you'll say I've become arrogant now that I have money."

Xiao Feng laughed: "So, since I'm going to be criticized either way, I might as well let you have the opportunity to treat us."

Song Keren's face darkened: "Where shall we eat?"

Xiao Feng immediately replied: "Let's go to my five-star hotel then; no need to let outsiders profit. I'll give you a 99% discount."

"Do I care about that 0.1%?" Song Keren retorted indignantly.
