Chapter 372 A combination of a dance party and a murder mystery game
The large-scale immersive script murder mystery game that Li Xiao mentioned can be divided into two modes.

One approach involves tourists acting as characters themselves. Each tourist receives a random identity card upon arrival on the island and then follows the clues on the identity card to find the corresponding NPC.

"In this model, tourists will have a more immersive experience. Staff only need to be in a fixed position, act as NPCs, and provide the relevant information."

Each character has a complete story, and a series of clues combined together reveal the truth.

However, it has high requirements for the overall script and the storyline of each character.

"Another model is to let tourists act as bystanders, with NPCs performing the script, and then let the tourists guess the real culprit or the truth."

This model has stage limitations; for example, at a ball, all tourists are guests participating in the ball.

The NPCs in a role-playing murder mystery game could be the organizer of a dance party, or waiters, chefs, or any other possible characters.

"If it's the second mode, you can actually interact with the guests to increase the playability, such as kidnapping some guests and then having others find clues and complete tasks in order to rescue them."

Based on Li Xiao's suggestion, Liang Jia added some of her own insights.

They each said a sentence, making Göring's eyes light up.

"That's good, that's good. Both models have their merits, and I think we can try them both."

Elius and Langton understood, but these were all for the tourists; they were more concerned about tonight's ball.

"What does all this have to do with tonight's ball?"

Are you suggesting they pretend to be guests and participate in a murder mystery game?

"Isn't there a masquerade ball tonight? This is a natural disguise."

Seeing that they weren't getting it, Li Xiao immediately offered an explanation.

Considering it's a paid event, the number of participants might not be that many. Perhaps it could be divided into several banquet halls, each hosting a separate murder mystery game.

“At a dance party with fewer people like this, everyone can take a role card and act out the story of their role to find out the murderer.”

During the ball, staff members act as NPCs, pretending to be the deceased, and everyone else has some connection to the deceased...

"That sounds interesting, but there's a problem."

Landon thought Li Xiao's idea was indeed very good and interesting; it should be a ball theme that Liang He would like. The problem was—

Where do we find scripts?

Finding the script now means that it's very likely that you can immediately figure out who the murderer is, since spoilers on StarNet are quite common.

It's clearly too late to have a professional screenwriter tailor-make it now.

Therefore, with both methods blocked, Li Xiao's suggestion was only suitable for Goring's subsequent publicity plans.

"Of course I have a way to do this, that's why I brought it up."

Li Xiao wasn't worried about Landon's problem at all.

Actually, he brought up murder mystery games partly out of personal motives, because his friend happens to be a screenwriter who has a script he's eager to sell.

If this were on Earth, murder mystery games would be very popular, and there would be a wide variety of scripts to choose from, making it quite difficult to sell them for a good price.

"I have a friend who specializes in writing murder mystery game scripts. I can guarantee that his scripts are absolutely outstanding, it's just a matter of price..."

"Price is no problem!"

Before Li Xiao could finish speaking, Goring was the first to make a promise.

"As long as the script is of good quality, hasn't been used by others, and there are no risks of spoilers, we can cooperate long-term." If it's always the same script, spoilers are inevitable, and tourists won't be enthusiastic.

Therefore, collaborating with a screenwriter is the best long-term solution.

"However, tonight's ball is being broadcast live, so this script is just a trial run and can't be used again later, your friend..."

Now it depends on whether Li Xiao's friends are willing to exchange a script for a possible collaboration opportunity.

"Okay, I'll go and discuss it with him, and I'll give you an answer later."

Since time was of the essence, Li Xiao naturally couldn't afford to waste their time here for personal reasons.

So he went to the side, contacted his friend, and explained the situation.

[The Skalan Planet Reserve is essentially an official facility, so long-term cooperation will be very beneficial for you; at least you won't have to worry about being scammed.]

Li Xiao believed that with Liang He's connection, no matter what, Golin wouldn't betray them.

I understand you're talking about a dance party. I do have a notebook I've been saving, but other venues don't have the space, and they also need to provide costumes and props, so it's been put on hold.

From his current perspective, the script was still a bit immature, but it was just right as a first-run script.

Especially with the addition of Cedril and others, I believe netizens would be happy to just watch them chat and eat.

If you have no objections, then I'll agree on your behalf?

In fact, Li Xiao would prefer to have his friend directly connect with Goring, but he doesn't know if his friend would be willing, since this friend is a bit socially awkward.

If you'd like, I can give you District Chief Goring's contact information; you can discuss it yourselves.

Okay, please send me your contact information.

He was already very grateful that Li Xiao was able to help him contact Goring.

No matter how socially awkward you are, when it's time to step up, you still have to do it yourself; you can't back down.

Besides, if he were to reach a cooperation agreement with Göring later, he couldn't keep having Li Xiao act as the middleman.

Okay, you guys talk it over. I'll also talk to Göring.

After hanging up the video call, Li Xiao sent Golin's contact information to a friend, then found Golin and explained the situation to him.

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely give you a good price. Even if we can't cooperate later, I'll make sure your friend doesn't suffer a loss this time."

This script is essentially a buyout, and the chances of Li Xiao's friend selling it again are extremely slim. Goring certainly can't let them suffer a loss.

When he brought up the matter of royalties, Li Xiao smiled and didn't say anything more. Everyone knew what was going on.

"Once the script arrives, shall we prepare the corresponding costumes?"

Judging from Li Xiao's description, it is most likely a rather elaborate classical costume, which would indeed be very suitable as a dress for a masquerade ball.

Just thinking about it made Elius feel a little excited.

He was very curious about what Liang He would look like in a gorgeous classical dress. Would she look like a princess or a queen?
"Okay, let's send a group of people first. We can change into our clothes later, so it won't take up much time."

As planned, Landon and Elius went to the castle to scout ahead and prepare the surprise they were supposed to have.

The script and such can be distributed to everyone's personal computers via the personal computers at that time.

"Thankfully, Liang He has a good memory. Even if she has to look at the script on short notice, she doesn't have to worry about not being able to keep up with the plot or her lines."

Li Xiao, feeling envious, couldn't help but sigh, and then joined them in their actions.
