Weird Game: I Use Mystery to Fight Mystery

Chapter 4 Enhancing Talents

Ignoring the strange figure sinking slowly as it attempts to jump from the building.

Until it was completely submerged, the spring water became clear again, and the ghost that jumped off the building had vanished without a trace.

Ye Tian watched this scene without any change in his expression.

Soon, ripples appeared on the water's surface, and a line of text appeared on it.

Tell me your wish.

It worked!

Upon seeing these words, Ye Tian knew he had succeeded.

Ye Tian had heard many stories about the Wishing Spring, which was rumored to grant any wish.

But this is not without its costs.

Some people wished for great power, but only experienced it for a second; others wished for immortality, but ended up as paraplegics who could never move.

Some people even wished for all the strange things to disappear, only to become the strange thing themselves.

There are some oddballs, though. One person wished for enhanced kidney function, supposedly maxing out his sexual abilities, but ended up having one of his testicles taken away by the Wishing Spring.

The reason he knew so much about him was because before his rebirth, that person had been Ye Tian's teammate and had the nickname "Christmas Boy".

To summarize these messages.

Simply put, the bigger the wish you make, the greater the side effects and the harder it is to achieve.

"Enhance my talent."

Having learned from so many past mistakes, Ye Tian didn't believe that making a wish could restore the world to its original state.

In conclusion, Ye Tian made a wish that best suited his own circumstances.

"Splash!"

As the wish was made, ripples spread across the water's surface once more, and this time, the surging water splashed onto the ground.

The spring water, which had just regained its clarity, was now tinged with an eerie red hue.

The next moment, Ye Tian felt a sharp pain in his back, a burning sensation that forced him to take off his coat.

The strange patterns on his back began to thicken, the original strange gates began to shrink, and two more blood patterns of strange gates began to appear, forming a triangular shape on Ye Tian's back.

The three strange doors are almost identical, the only difference being that one of them is blocked by several black chain patterns.

"call!"

This burning sensation is nothing compared to the feeling of flesh and blood being turned inside out when using the Ghost Gate.

Ye Tian quickly adapted.

"Not only has the suppression effect of the back-opening ghost gate been enhanced, but two more opportunities have been added?"

The harvest was plentiful.

In Ye Tian's original estimate, it would already be quite good if the suppression effect could be strengthened, and the resurgence of the Time Ghost would be completely suppressed.

Unexpectedly, there were two more opportunities to contain the strange creatures.

"So, what about the side effects?"

Ye Tian was not blinded by this joy, but instead raised his head and looked at the wishing fountain in front of him.

really.

That invisible negative effect began to descend upon me, as if something was being taken away from me.

"Um?"

Realizing something, Ye Tian took a few steps forward and saw his face subtly changed through the water.

Her once somewhat immature appearance began to mature.

It has a sense of having experienced many vicissitudes.

"Ten years, the side effect is taking away ten years of my lifespan?"

When Ye Tian was reborn, he was only in his early twenties. Even after ten years were taken away, he was still only thirty years old, in the prime of his life.

His gaze gradually became strange.

I thought they would take away one of my hands or one of my feet or something, but I never expected it would be ten years of my lifespan.

Losing ten years of life for no reason would be hard for anyone else to accept.

But Ye Tian is different.

Having returned from ten years in the future, Ye Tian found this body incredibly familiar and quickly adapted to it.

Congratulations to the player for clearing the dungeon!

"Gained: Experience Points +20"

With the game's notification sound, the Wishing Fountain returned to its calm state.

The surroundings became quiet and eerie again.

While leaving, Ye Tian looked at the wishing fountain in front of him and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

The Wishing Spring is elusive, and each person only has one chance to make a wish. It seems dangerous, but if used properly, it can be a chance to become stronger. Some people even say that the Wishing Spring itself is a mysterious place.

Since it's bizarre, it can be contained, right?

"Next time I come, I'll definitely take you with me."

The timing of containment is tricky; it involves taking advantage of the moment when the target has just recovered to contain a powerful anomaly, and the success rate is almost zero.

But it's okay.

If it doesn't work this time, there will always be another chance.

Ten seconds later, Ye Tian's vision blurred, and he had already left the instance.

Simultaneously.

In the deserted instance, the water of the Wishing Fountain rippled slightly, as if a pair of eyes were quietly watching from within.

Ye Tian added the attribute point he received as a reward for clearing the dungeon for the first time to his Spirit stat.

If you frequently enter eerie dungeons, your mental attribute, which represents your will, becomes the most important.

I glanced at the panel.

Before it got completely dark, Ye Tian planned to enter a few more dungeons and try to level up to level two by the end of the day.

"If I remember correctly, a player level ranking will be published as soon as a player reaches level 10."

Players who rank in the top ten for a consecutive month will receive a reward.

And this reward is available every month.

In his previous life, Ye Tian only received the ninth-place award once.

,,,

"Got you!"

Ye Tian is currently playing a game called Hide and Seek.

The rules are simple: hide well and don't get caught by the monster within three minutes.

But Ye Tian showed no intention of dodging.

The countdown had ended, and the girl in the red dress reached out and grabbed Ye Tian's clothes.

Looking down at the girl's innocent smile, if we weren't in a dungeon, we would really think she was just an ordinary cute girl.

Her originally innocent and carefree smile turned malicious the moment she grabbed Ye Tian.

"If you get caught, you'll become my food."

"No!"

Meeting the girl's gaze, Ye Tian suddenly smiled.

"I caught you."

"???"

The girl's face froze, and an invisible force spread outwards. The opponent's strength was obviously not as great as the jumping ghost, and it didn't take much effort to stop it.

Ye Tian had experience.

He took the blood-stained sack directly from his inventory, swiftly put it over the girl, and tossed it aside.

Taking advantage of this moment, Ye Tian looked around.

The instance space is an amusement park, with a carousel, roller coaster, Ferris wheel and other entertainment facilities in the distance.

However, these places are not yet accessible, as the instance has not yet been opened up to those areas.

"The future of mega-scale dungeons."

This massive dungeon will only be revealed to the world as the dungeon level continues to increase in the future.

"Let me out! Let me out!"

"Humans!"

"I'm going to eat you!"

The effects of the blood-stained sack began to wear off, and the girl's malicious voice came from inside the sack.

Ye Tian remained completely calm.
