Weird Game: My Talent is a Bit Strong
Chapter 22: Security Guarding the Haunted Building – It's a Very Challenging Job!
When players encounter strange occurrences, they may awaken their own talents.
Talent is not entirely random.
For example, Fan Chen's Soul Eater talent was awakened because he was besieged by hungry ghosts.
Both the Soul Eater and the Starving Ghost are related to "eating".
Similarly, talent may also be related to certain traits of the player.
Take Zhou Muchen for example...
Fan Chen's live stream room was already buzzing with excitement.
"Damn it! Is there no justice in this world?"
"This scumbag actually possesses S-level talent!"
"He has an extraordinary charm over all female ghosts... This talent is absolutely amazing!"
"Is this some kind of professional scumbag talent? The goddesses of the real world are no longer enough for him; his current target is a female ghost from the supernatural world!"
"This is hilarious! This guy can juggle seven relationships at the same time in the entertainment industry. He's really something."
A dimly lit staircase.
Upon hearing Zhou Muchen's introduction, Fan Chen couldn't help but stare at Zhou Muchen in astonishment.
Fan Chen: No wonder he's a top-tier celebrity; his charm appeals to both humans and ghosts.
"Boss, don't tell anyone about this," Zhou Muchen said solemnly.
On the one hand, he felt a little ashamed of his talent for making female ghosts infatuated with him.
On another note, he also intended to use it as a trump card—in the novels he read, the protagonists all had trump cards.
Upon hearing his words, Fan Chen's expression turned strange.
"that……"
He said speechlessly, "You already know I'm a death row player."
"Then you should also know that the game process of death row players must be broadcast live, and they cannot refuse."
Fan Chen pointed upwards, indicating that your secrets had already been broadcast live.
Zhou Muchen's expression froze instantly, and he stared at the possible location of the live broadcast screen, his face pale.
Meanwhile, in Fan Chen's live stream, seeing Zhou Muchen's tearful face, the more than 700 viewers all laughed.
"As expected of a top-tier celebrity making such a brain-dead move."
"Don't worry, there are over 700 of us here, we'll keep your secret."
"Hahaha."
"From now on, you're officially recognized as the ultimate scumbag in this bizarre world."
"In the real world, what's a scumbag goddess? A scumbag ghost is truly awesome!"
Fan Chen patted Zhou Muchen on the shoulder:
"There's nothing wrong with revealing your talent. It's an S-rank talent after all, so it should attract a lot of attention from guilds."
Then he suddenly showed a look of realization.
"Fengdu Daily suggests that by gaining the approval of the ghost inhabitants, one can obtain their protection when the red moon descends."
"Zhou Muchen's experience proves this point perfectly."
"He gained the little fairy ghost's approval, and when the red moon descends, he can stay in its room indefinitely."
"The talisman pasted on the door of the haunted house seems to have the effect of warding off the murderer."
"So, the correct way for players to complete the game is to please the ghost inhabitants and then hide in their houses when the red moon falls..."
Thinking of this, Fan Chen asked Zhou Muchen:
"After the Red Moon ended, besides the rules regarding the timing of the Red Moon, did you discover any other rules?"
Players will receive a notification and the corresponding rules after achieving certain goals.
Some rules will be communicated to all players.
Some rules are only visible to the player who triggered them.
Zhou Muchen was startled: "B-Big Boss, how did you know?"
Fan Chen asked, "Is that rule that if players can enter the haunted house's room after the Red Moon arrives, they won't be chased by the murderer?"
"That's right, boss, you triggered this rule too?" Zhou Muchen's eyes widened. Boss, you really are a boss!
"This should be the way to pass through customs safely."
Fan Chen continued, "Once the red moon descends again, you just need to hide in room 501 again, and you'll be able to safely get through the dungeon."
"Do we still need to go in?"
Zhou Muchen's expression changed: "Boss, is there no other way? I really don't want to be with that female ghost anymore!"
"It, it's just too much..."
Ok?
Fan Chen subtly increased the distance between himself and Zhou Muchen.
You weren't raped by a female ghost...
"Of course not!"
Zhou Muchen's expression hardened: "I have my principles!"
"I was just forced to say sweet nothings for over an hour, and my mouth is so dry now!"
"I'll only leave after the Red Moon has ended!"
Fan Chen and the live stream audience: Saying sweet nothings for an hour straight, that's quite a skill.
"Is there no other way but to keep facing the female ghost?" Zhou Muchen asked, unwilling to give up.
"Yes," Fan Chen continued walking downstairs. "We just need to find a way to get rid of the serial killer."
"How... how is that possible?" Zhou Muchen exclaimed in shock, and hurriedly followed Fan Chen.
Fan Chen's status as a death row inmate still made him somewhat wary, but at the same time, he was also determined to use this powerful figure as a backer.
As Fan Chen walked down the stairs, he noticed that players on other floors were opening rooms and peeking out.
All players now understand the rules of the Red Moon: staying in the room is not safe, and they have to come out to find a way to survive.
Fan Chen ignored them and went to the guard room in the lobby on the first floor.
The small door to the guardhouse was open, but no one was inside.
Fan Chen went inside. The room was small, furnished only with simple tables and chairs.
On the table, there was a piece of paper, a flashlight, a pen holder, and other items.
Fan Chen picked up the paper and glanced at it: Security Guard Employment Agreement.
The content contains some basic terms and conditions for security guard employment.
Fan Chen suddenly understood: "So this is how the security guard profession is triggered?"
"I thought a new ghost would appear."
He picked up a pen from the table and signed his name in the signature section of the agreement.
"Security guard employment agreement? Boss, what's this?" Zhou Muchen, who followed him in, asked curiously.
Then he saw Fan Chen's signature and was immediately overjoyed.
"Fan Chen... Boss, so your name is Fan Chen. We're really destined to meet, as our names both have the character 'chen' in them."
"From now on, you're my brother Chen!"
Fan Chen ignored Zhou Muchen, because a notification appeared in front of him as soon as he signed the agreement.
[Reminder: You have triggered a security guard trial mission!]
Objective: Please take a flashlight and patrol around the building.
The trial of the security guard profession requires leaving this building, entering the dark and gloomy world outside, and patrolling around the building!
Fan Chen looked at the flashlight on the table; it seemed to be the security guard's professional equipment.
He took the flashlight in his hand and walked out of the guardhouse.
Reaching the glass door, Fan Chen reached out and pushed it open successfully.
The door wouldn't open the last time he tried, but it opened after he took on the security guard trial.
"Brother Chen, you...you're not going to go out, are you?" Zhou Muchen's face was already quite pale.
"Um."
Fan Chen nodded and looked at Zhou Muchen.
"Wait here for me a moment, I have something to tell you," he instructed.
This week, Mu Chen has become quite a talent.
The ghost resident holds clues to the murder case in Room 602.
Now that Zhou Muchen has gained the Little Fairy Ghost's approval, this might be a breakthrough point for him.
"Okay, okay." Zhou Muchen's face lit up with joy. "Brother Chen, be careful!"
As he spoke, Fan Chen had already left the building, his figure disappearing outside through the glass door.
Fan Chen entered the darkness outside and immediately felt a chill.
He found himself in a hazy fog, and looking around, he could see nothing but the faint light coming from the building behind him.
The flashlight was on, but it could only provide limited illumination.
The small patch of light only made the place seem more eerie.
This flashlight is also considered a strange item.
The spirit level is 2, and players need to consume spirit to open it.
Its light has a certain effect in repelling ghosts.
And when the flashlight is turned on.
Spirit +2
Spirit +1
……
It wasn't very efficient, but it was very useful to Fan Chen.
Being in a terrifying environment and being constantly affected by fear can gradually cause a person to lose their rationality until they break down.
However, with the continuous increase in mental attributes, Fan Chen's rationality can remain completely stable.
Not only was he completely calm, he even started humming a song.
Studio.
"He actually accepted the security guard trial mission!"
"He mastered three classes in the last dungeon, and he's still not satisfied?"
"Having already run through five dungeons and still no class..."
"This trial mission involves patrolling in the dark? That's terrifying."
"I wouldn't dare do that, not even in reality, let alone in a supernatural world!"
"I would call him a god!"
The audience gasped in surprise.
Fang Chao, who had been watching Fan Chen's live stream and hadn't spoken for a long time, couldn't help but show up again.
Fang Chao: "He's too arrogant. Being a security guard isn't exactly a high-powered profession, but it's not an easy job to get!"
"There must be some lurking ghosts in the darkness outside the building, waiting for an opportunity to attack him!"
"That's not something you can handle easily."
As the squad leader of the Thunder Guild, he was quite knowledgeable.
Sure enough, not long after Fang Chao posted the comment.
As Fan Chen hummed a song and made his way through the dark mist, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something beside him out of the corner of his eye.
When the flashlight was shone, only a fleeting shadow was captured.
Soon, in the rolling mist, he noticed something unusual again out of the corner of his eye.
When the flashlight was shone, only a fleeting shadow could be captured.
Something is hiding in the mist beside me.
