A moment later, Jake Johnson, his eyes glazed over, closed the system store interface, a bitter expression on his face, and sighed helplessly.
"System, these amusement facilities of yours are pretty good, but I can't afford them at all right now, not even the cheapest one!"
Next to the system store was another interface, displaying the current status of Starlight Amusement Park.

153 Fame Points... Forget about getting Interstellar Voyage or anything like that, he couldn't even afford the cheapest amusement facility in the system store.
"Ding, detecting the host's predicament, the newbie gift pack has been successfully issued!"
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the 3-star amusement facility, Death Shack!"
"Sounds like a haunted house," Jake muttered to himself, and clicked on the Death Shack's attribute panel.
[Death Shack]
Rating: 3-Star
Description: This shack possesses a magical power that can evoke the deepest fears hidden within people's hearts, guiding visitors step by step towards death.
Note: At the moment before a visitor ends their life, a bell will ring to awaken them and clear all negative mental states.
Jake frowned slightly after reading the Death Shack's attribute panel.
Just a few simple lines of text, yet they left Jake puzzled.
Guiding visitors towards death?
In other words, making visitors commit suicide unconsciously!
This effect sounded way too far-fetched!
Jake was somewhat skeptical of the Death Shack's description.
As an amusement park professional, he had been to quite a few haunted houses!
Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.
Including some that were quite famous.
But no matter what kind of haunted house, the essence was always the same.
They simply used elaborate set designs and various props to evoke visitors' inner fears.
Fear would only make visitors jump and run around, but as for making them commit suicide, that was a joke...
Jake sighed, feeling dejected, and said, "So, after all that, I got stuck with this gimmicky thing!"
"Ding, detecting the host's dissatisfaction, the system suggests that the host experience the Death Shack before making any evaluations!"
"Go I will, I'm not afraid of you." Jake smiled faintly.
Having been to many haunted houses, he had long since developed an immunity to them!
Jake opened the system facility placement interface.
It was a huge flat map, with every tree and shrub in Starlight Amusement Park marked on it.
And next to the map was the area where system facilities were stored. Currently, there was only the Death Shack.
The Death Shack was like a miniature 3D model, floating quietly above the map.
Jake moved his mind, and the Death Shack model floated up and flew onto the map!
Jake controlled the Death Shack to the upper right corner of the map, and silently said the word "Place"!
"Boom!"
The northeast corner of Starlight Amusement Park was instantly filled with smoke and a loud bang!
By the time Jake rushed over, all the changes were complete.
A brand new haunted house stood tall.
The overall appearance of the Death Shack was like a huge wooden cabin, covering a vast area and reaching a height of several dozen feet!
In comparison, the entrance to the Death Shack seemed rather ordinary.
It was a rotten, pale wooden door, with a decaying atmosphere that assaulted the senses.
A plaque hung above the wooden door, with a line of text written on it—Are you ready to face death?
For some reason, the moment Jake saw this sentence, it was as if countless eyes were secretly staring at him from the darkness, a chill went down his spine, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end, making his scalp tingle.
Jake couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"What's wrong with me?"
"I'm getting scared before even going in?"
Jake swallowed, muttering to himself.
This state lasted for nearly ten minutes. Jake took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and walked step by step towards the entrance of the Death Shack.
He was ready!
No matter what, as the owner of the haunted house, he had to try it out himself, otherwise he wouldn't know what to say when promoting it to visitors!
Moreover, he really wanted to see if the Death Shack was as far-fetched as the system described.
Actually making people have suicidal thoughts!
Jake slowly pushed open the wooden door of the Death Shack.
With a "creak," the wooden door was gradually pushed open, and a decaying, ancient atmosphere seeped out through the crack.
When the wooden door was fully opened, a whole new world appeared in Jake's line of sight.
Jake's mouth slowly opened, his eyes widened, as if he had seen something incredible!
