Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

With her hands on her hips and an inscrutable expression, Xian Jiu repeated exactly what Gu Ling had said.

"Waaah~"

"Coo coo~"

The animals in the haunted house had bright eyes and kept nodding.

The mischievous guy chuckled: "Hehe~" Let's make a few minor changes to give our valued players an even better experience.

The pets nodded repeatedly.

So, Xianjiu and the mischievous ghost led all the pets around the haunted house, whispering to each other from time to time.

The other staff members couldn't understand what the pets were saying, but they all thought the little guys were adorable.

"Xiao Ling, your Xian Jiu and the mischievous ghost have both become the bosses of the haunted house."

"Yeah, it's only been two days, right? If we stay any longer, we might become the boss of the whole amusement park."

While applying makeup, a staff member took the opportunity to tease Gu Ling.

Gu Ling raised her hand and touched her nose, then smiled sheepishly.

Although she was a bit far from Xian Jiu and the mischievous ghost and couldn't hear them very clearly, Gu Ling could still guess about 70-80% of what was going on.

These two little guys are probably trying to persuade all the pets to temporarily change their 'battle plan'.

"They've probably come up with other ways to play pranks, and they're discussing it with each other now," Gu Ling explained.

The staff were somewhat surprised, but remembering the excellent performance of Xianjiu and the mischievous ghost yesterday, they couldn't help but feel hopeful.

Wow, I'm really looking forward to that.

"Sure, who went to the monitoring room today? Could we switch shifts?"

"Dream on!"

"..."

……

Two hours later.

The haunted house has officially opened for business.

Inside the monitoring room.

The haunted house level has been slightly modified today. The NPC Gu Ling was temporarily removed and replaced with a more exciting start.

So Gu Ling sat down in the monitoring room and watched the monitor screen with great interest along with the other two staff members.

In the surveillance footage—

The players may have seen the experience posts from those who went in yesterday online, which is why they were quite calm when they first entered the haunted house.

They quickly lost their composure.

"Aaaaaah..."

"Help!!!"

"Mommy, save me..."

"..."

Listening to the sounds coming from the surveillance footage, Gu Ling casually opened a bag of potato chips and handed it to a staff member next to her who kept yawning: "Brother Li, why are you so sleepy today? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"I had a few drinks with Lao Li and the others last night, and before I knew it, it was too late..." Meng Li yawned again, with obvious dark circles under his eyes.

Meng Li patted his face and then put a few potato chips in his mouth.

Gu Ling also started crunching on potato chips: "So they had a special treat last night."

Meng Li opened another bag of potato chips with different flavors, and chatted as he ate: "Yeah, the weather is so cold now, having a few drinks and some hot pot, that would be so delicious."

"Xiao Ling, how about we go get some hot pot after get off work? It's on us."

"Thank you, Brother Li, but my Xianjiu and the others probably want to go to the movies tonight. We can just find a restaurant near the cinema then." Gu Ling waved his hand, politely declining.

Last night, Gu Ling glanced at the travel schedule that Xian Jiu and the mischievous ghost had made, and the next few days were completely filled with it.

If we can't go through all those activities, those two little ones will probably be feeling really down again.

"Hey Li, have you guys had any barbecue lately? I went for some last night, and the barbecue here tastes quite different from the one back at school."

Gu Ling remembered that Lin Zhixuan had bought so much barbecue last night, and she thought he was buying it to share with his colleagues in the staff dormitory.

Meng Li was Lin Zhixuan's roommate, but now the former seemed completely unaware of it.

Meng Li shook his head: "No... hot pot is more convenient. You can cook all kinds of porridge, noodles, and vermicelli together, and you can also drink some soup to warm your stomach."

"...Oh, oh."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ling secretly grumbled to herself: That's strange... Didn't Meng Li and the others have a barbecue dinner last night? If Lin Zhixuan bought so much barbecue, could he finish it all by himself?

Gu Ling asked curiously, "Brother Li, I've seen all your pets. What about Brother Lin, who's been on leave all the time? What's his pet?"

Meng Li pondered for a few seconds before speaking: "Xiao Lin is also a one-star beast tamer, and he has contracted a pet beast, which is a flying black-feathered sparrow."

Most of the staff in the haunted house are beast tamers.

Because the "main characters" of the haunted house are pet beasts, and the staff are beast tamers, each with a contracted pet beast by their side, they can act as "translators" and communicate with the pet beasts in the haunted house.

"However, Black Feather Sparrow doesn't play a significant role in the haunted house project, so Kobayashi didn't summon it. Otherwise, he could have done an extra job." Meng Li felt somewhat regretful for Lin Zhixuan.

In haunted house entertainment featuring pets, the pets' wages are naturally higher than those of the humans.

Hearing this answer, Gu Ling's doubts deepened.

Black-feathered sparrows don't have big appetites, so it's impossible for them to finish all that barbecue, right?

It's also possible that Lin Zhixuan was sick and had a poor appetite, so he ate barbecue instead of staple food.

Having thought of this, Gu Ling stopped wondering about it further.

"Xiao Ling, you're going to be a senior in high school this year, right?" Meng Li started a conversation again.

Gu Ling answered truthfully, "There's still one semester left. I'll be a senior in September."

"Then you'd better study hard and try to get into a decent university." Meng Li graduated many years ago, and seeing Gu Ling, a high school student, inevitably reminded him of his own school days.

"But you're only a sophomore in high school, and you've already contracted two pet beasts. If your academic scores aren't low, you should have no problem getting into a top-tier university, right?"

"Yeah, yeah," another staff member couldn't help but chime in.

"My cousin's daughter only contracted one pet beast during last year's college entrance examination and still got into a top-tier university. The top scorer in their city contracted two pet beasts and was admitted to Shanghai University."

Meng Li sighed, "You know what, almost every year the top scorers in the city and province have contracted two pet beasts... Maybe Xiao Ling can also become the top scorer in the city next year."

"It's still early, it's still early..." Gu Ling nodded obediently, looking like a model student: "I will definitely study hard."

Gu Ling hadn't expected that just coming to work would lead to someone telling her to study hard and improve every day, so she could only obediently nod in agreement.

To divert attention, Gu Ling immediately changed the subject: "Brother Li, look at that player... he seems to have discovered a hidden clue..."

"It really is?!" Meng Li turned to look at the surveillance footage, his eyes wide with surprise.

Another staff member clicked their tongue in amazement: "Wow, this player is pretty good..."

"..."
