After Catherine had figured out the "entry point" regarding the audience information, William went straight back to the magic area and bumped into Jaan in the aisle.
"William, why did you come back from outside? It seems that you have other ideas about the formal performance that was arranged temporarily?"
“A day is too short to make regular preparations.
Even if I have already thought of the scene design that can be used for the official performance, the temporary setup will definitely not achieve the expected effect. It is better to think of other ways.
Senior Jia En, can you arrange tomorrow's performance for me?"
Jaune flicked his fingers and pulled out a piece of white paper from between his sleeves.
《The Circus of Fear Official Performance Schedule》
The show is mainly divided into four major programs, with four principals as the main actors.
Interspersed between the four major programs are small programs such as those performed by Deputy Clown Catherine and Long-legged Mosander, which make the whole performance process full of ups and downs.
William asked tentatively: "I can choose to perform during any intermission, right?"
"That's right. Think about it carefully and tell me the result before tomorrow morning."
"I've already chosen!"
William didn't think much about it, or he had already made a decision. His finger quickly fell on the gap between two programs, which made Jaen frown.
At least in Jain's opinion, such a choice is very unwise.
"Are you sure? You want to put your halftime show after the circus performance
Mr. Rabbit's level is higher than mine, and the circus troupe he leads is not comparable to that newcomer Mosander.
Among all the previous performances, the average amount of fear collected by the Acrobatic Troupe is the highest.
In other words, after watching the performances of the Acrobatic Troupe, most audiences were in a state of absolute immersion, exhaustion, or even brain death.
Your impromptu performances will be difficult to implement during this time period.
My suggestion is to put it after Catherine's nightmare performance. The impact of the dream will decrease rapidly after waking up, and it is easiest to perform at this time. "
"My performance must be placed here, otherwise the success rate will be greatly reduced."
Looking at the determined look in William's eyes, Jaune nodded, "Then report it like this. Do you need to borrow some manpower from me?"
"No, I can do it alone. Time is too short to train. And even if I force other assistants to follow me, the newcomer, they will probably be very reluctant and it will be difficult to achieve the effect I want.
Mr. Jain, I have to go take care of other things first."
William waved goodbye hurriedly. Instead of returning to his magic house, he planned to go to another area.
Such unusual behavior naturally aroused Jan's curiosity. The magic show had already been rehearsed, so he quietly followed William.
Passing the underground intersection of the circus, William actually walked towards the banquet hall again, touched the switch of the secret door in the passage and opened the secret passage leading to the back kitchen.
"Hmm? Kitchen... What exactly does William want to do?"
Jain suppressed his curiosity and did not follow up further. After all, the answer would be revealed in two days.
Kitchen
Since the magic feast had just ended, the entire kitchen was being cleaned up.
The poker-faced people who were cleaning were quite polite to William, the newcomer who won the second place in the Demon Banquet and was favored by the boss, and did not ask many questions.
William who came here did nothing but sit on the cutting table and think and wait quietly.
About half an hour later,
As he was working out in his head the type of dish he needed to make, the quantity, and the ingredients needed, footsteps were heard from the incinerator.
Chef Timmy, with his whole body wrapped in tongues, came back. He had just finished injecting the boss' medicine downstairs and was extremely surprised to see William sitting in the kitchen.
"William, what are you doing here? Go and prepare for the performance the day after tomorrow."
"I'm here just for the show, Chef Timmy, can you give me these ingredients now?"
William wrote as he spoke, handing over a detailed list.
Looking at the large amount of ingredients on the list, Timmy frowned, "What do you need so many things for? This is not a free warehouse. You can take whatever you want... The ingredients cultivated in the kitchen are all top-quality."
"Of course it's for tomorrow's performance. Can you put the expenses on the account first? I can pay it back slowly when I collect enough fear liquid from the performance. I can accept it even if you add interest."
If it were someone else, the chef would refuse without hesitation, as there is no such thing as credit in the kitchen.
But considering William's amazing performance at the Demon Banquet and the boss's rare smile during the banquet, Timmy made a rare compromise.
"Since you plan to use the dishes from the kitchen in your performance, I will reluctantly lend it to you. No interest is required, as long as you can pay it back in full within a year.
However, the use of "boss meat" is prohibited. "
Seeing Chef Timmy nod in agreement, William followed up with another request:
"Chef, can you lend me a few more people to help with the processing of ingredients and assisting with cooking? I may not be able to do it all by myself. The staff expenses will also be recorded in the account and will be repaid later."
"You... okay, how many people do you want?"
"Currently the poker faces cleaning up are all needed,
In addition, I may also modify some of the equipment in the kitchen, such as splicing some meat woks to form a larger caliber wok to improve the efficiency of serving dishes. "
"What else do you want?"
Chef Timmy was already getting a little impatient, and if William dared to make another request, he would simply stop helping.
"That's all."
"That's all! No one has ever dared to make so many requests in the kitchen... It really makes me angry! Okay, I can promise you, but in addition to paying the money back, I need you to do one thing."
"What's up?"
"Ahem~ As long as you are in the circus, you must make red oil dumplings at least once a week."
"That's no problem. Just provide me with the best scalp meat."
Seeing that William agreed, Chef Timmy stopped making things difficult.
"Remind you! Before the official performance begins, the kitchen needs to remain absolutely stable. You must remember the rules while cooking. If black hair combines with the meat and affects the official performance, you will not be responsible for it. I may even be judged for it."
"I will ensure the stability and safety of the kitchen."
"That's it. I'm exhausted from the Demon Feast. It's a good time to take a break."
With the chef's nod of approval, the next two days were equivalent to handing over all the authority of the kitchen to the young man William.
Timmy seemed to leave leisurely, but as soon as he returned to his lounge, he turned on the biological monitoring device and observed everything going on in the kitchen closely.
He was very curious about what William was going to do and how to connect the kitchen with the performance.
In the monitoring screen,
William, in the capacity of temporary supervisor, summoned all the poker faces to his side.
There was no verbal communication.
Instead, he opened the skull in public, revealing the dark brain, and through the transmission of information through brain waves, he assigned responsibilities to each person and drew up a time schedule to ensure that no time would be wasted.
The show is over.
The poker-faced chefs put on their chef aprons and went to different areas to start working. The kitchen became lively again.
However, as everyone got busy, William did not join in.
He climbed onto the kitchen counter, used the chopping board as a pillow and fell asleep peacefully in the noisy kitchen environment.
Upon seeing this, Chef Timmy stood up excitedly, pointed at the monitor and yelled, "How can you sleep? How can you sleep at this time?"
But Timmy finally calmed down and didn't go to the kitchen to intervene.
What he didn't know was that William's sleep was actually projecting his consciousness into the memory palace, communicating with another self between the aquariums.
"Yi Chen, I need your help for the next performance."
