Weird Game: My Talent is a Bit Strong

Are there ghosts lurking in the mist?

Fan Chen seemed to be deep in thought. He scanned the surroundings with his flashlight and continued walking forward.

His other hand had already picked up the tiger-slaying knife.

Soon, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the unusual movement in the mist again.

But when you look, you only see a fleeting shadow.

Suddenly, Fan Chen felt a chill run down his spine.

The thing silently pounced on him from behind!

"Damn it!" Fan Chen exclaimed instinctively, turning around and slashing out with his sword.

But there was nothing behind him.

[Warning: You have been attacked by a Shadow Monster (Remnant Soul)!]

Spirit +5

Health +8

Life limit +1]

A notification flashed before his eyes; Fan Chen had been attacked.

But thanks to his Soul Eater talent, he was not harmed and did not even feel pain.

"Shadow Monster?"

Upon seeing the name, Fan Chen quickly recalled the relevant information he had seen on the forum.

Shadow monsters are nightmare-like ghosts created because of humans' fear of the dark.

The remnant soul level shadow monsters are not high in spirit level, but they are good at lurking in the dark and attacking players.

Moreover, they are extremely agile and difficult to deal with.

but……

"Shadow monsters are nightmare-type ghosts; they have no physical form!"

The fact that it has no physical form means that it only possesses bizarre attacks and no ability to cause physical damage.

It will not cause any harm to Fan Chen.

In this class trial, Shadow Fiend is the greatest danger players will face.

It's like the "examiner" in a trial.

But for Fan Chen, this was a recharge experience pack!

So he felt at ease and continued on his way.

There seemed to be only one shadow monster in the darkness; it appeared and disappeared intermittently, launching attacks from time to time.

Fan Chen remained unmoved, and even started humming a song again.

He was surrounded by darkness and mist, unable to discern his location, and could only rely on the dim light emanating from the buildings around him as a reference point.

He quickly realized something was wrong.

The building isn't very large; it wouldn't normally take long to walk around it.

Fan Chen had been walking around the building for ten minutes, but still hadn't been able to get back to where he started.

"The space here is distorted!"

"Although the building is not large, it takes much longer than expected to walk around it."

Fan Chen made a deduction.

The professional trial missions are naturally not so easy to complete.

The difficulty of Fan Chen completing the professional trial mission at the Red Rose Restaurant was relatively low because it was only an F-level dungeon.

This is an E-level dungeon, so the difficulty is increased.

As he walked, Fan Chen shone his flashlight on the building to determine its location.

At the same time, he was also keeping a close eye on the road ahead.

This is part of the residential area, with many lawns, trees, and other landscaping features.

Fan Chen almost crashed into a strangely shaped and menacing tree.

After walking for more than an hour in the fog.

Fan Chen finally saw the glass doors of the building.

He successfully circled the building and surveyed it.

At this moment, Fan Chen stopped and used his peripheral vision to search for the shadow monster lurking in the mist.

He was attacked more than a dozen times along the way.

Although it only brought him positive benefits, he was still unhappy.

Before the task is completed, this needs to be resolved first!

Killing a Shadow Monster, a special kind of ghost, should give a lot of experience, right?

He had already come up with a plan.

Studio.

As Fan Chen moved forward in the darkness, the audience was even more nervous than Fan Chen himself.

Even veteran players who had participated in the dungeon several times were terrified by this terrifying scene.

When they saw the glass doors of the building appear in the live stream, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Fan Chen suddenly stopped.

The gate is right in front of you, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go in!

Fan Chen stood still, and the next moment, the flashlight beam suddenly disappeared.

His figure was instantly swallowed by darkness.

The live stream room went dark, with only the faint light of a building in the distance remaining.

Holy crap!

"What's going on?"

Why did the flashlight turn off?

"Silly child, run!"

A barrage of comments flashed by, including some from Fang Chao.

Fang Chao: "His mental attributes must have been completely depleted, which is why the flashlight can no longer be turned on!"

"I guess he had broken down, that's why he stopped moving."

"Unfortunately, he was just one step away from success."

Fang Chao, who was inside the villa, laughed heartily after sending the comment.

Seeing that Fan Chen was about to complete the trial mission, his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Although he coveted Fan Chen's reward, he would lose face if Fan Chen performed too exceptionally well.

Doesn't that prove he has a problem with his judgment?

Therefore, he hoped that something would happen to Fan Chen.

Of course, it would be best if Fan Chen didn't die like this.

The best course of action is to teach him a lesson, strip him of his arrogance, and make him obediently hand over his rewards and join his ranks...

What Fang Chao didn't know was that Fan Chen turned off the flashlight on purpose.

He stood in the darkness, gripping the Tiger-Slaying Blade tightly, sensing every unusual movement around him.

The Shadow Monster moves silently, but players can feel a chill when it gets close.

At the same time, it is best at avoiding the player's line of sight, only choosing to attack blind spots such as the "back" to make it difficult for the player to counterattack in time.

Turning off the flashlight and immersing himself in complete darkness, Fan Chen intended to lure it into attacking him from the front.

Soon, a chill approached Fan Chen's left side.

It is coming!

Almost the instant the chill approached, *whoosh!* Fan Chen twisted his body and delivered a cleaving slash to his left side.

He could clearly sense what he had struck.

It worked!

[Warning: You have killed the Shadow Monster (Remnant Soul)!]

[Psionic Power +80]

A notification appeared before his eyes, and Fan Chen's eyes lit up. He turned the flashlight back on.

In the flashlight beam, there was a broken, dissipating figure.

It has a human form, is entirely black, and has its upper limbs hanging down, resembling a strange monkey.

Is this what Shadow Fiend truly looks like?

Fan Chen watched its remains dissipate, then glanced around with lingering interest.

Is there any more?

He could get 80 psionic energy just by killing one, which he really liked.

Unfortunately, only this one Shadow Monster spawned.

Fan Chen stood there for a while, and when he found that no new shadow monsters appeared, he sighed regretfully and walked towards the glass door of the building.

Inside the live stream room.

"???"

"That was a Shadow Monster? He killed a Shadow Monster!"

"He deliberately turned off his flashlight to lure the Shadow Fiend closer!"

"I've learned something new – how did you come up with this method to kill Shadow Fiend!"

"Learn what? The Shadow Fiend's terror increases in complete darkness; other players will only die a horrible death if they do that!"

"All I can say is that Fan Chen is just too amazing."

Fang Chao's expression stiffened again inside the villa.

He deliberately turned off his flashlight in order to kill the Shadow Monster!

Even a seasoned player like him wasn't confident he could handle the Shadow Monster, that kind of nightmare creature.

This death row inmate player actually...

At that moment, he saw the chat messages from a player with the ID "Li Qian" scrolling across the live stream screen.

Li Qian: "Who just said he was mentally exhausted and had collapsed? Speak up!"

Fang Chao: "..."

This is a direct dig at himself!

Whose side are you on? I'm your captain!

……

A bizarre world.

Fan Chen returned to the lobby of the building.

He had just stepped into this place.

[Reminder: You have completed the security guard trial mission!]

You have acquired the security skill: Vigilance!

Current level: 1

Description: You can sense hostile ghosts within a certain range around you.

You have acquired security guard-specific equipment: a flashlight.

As a temporary worker in a special occupation, he did not receive a security guard job, but instead received corresponding professional skills.

There is also specialized equipment for security guards.

However, the flashlight only has a special effect in the dark; once you enter a bright place, it's just a regular flashlight.

Fan Chen put it into his inventory.

"Alert?" He glanced at the skill description with delight.

Security guards are a support profession, so this skill is still very useful to him.

However, he was in no hurry to test his new skills.

He noticed that the lobby was packed with people, all of whom were players who had entered the instance.

Including Zhou Muchen, there was also the bearded player he had met once before.

Including Fan Chen, there are nine in total.

"Brother Chen, you're finally back."

Zhou Muchen was overjoyed and hurriedly moved closer to Fan Chen: "They are the players who entered the dungeon, and they are all waiting for you."

"Wait for me?" Fan Chen was taken aback.

A female player with long, flowing hair and a round face stepped forward first.

"Fan Chen, you should be protecting us from now on!"

She made the request as soon as she opened her mouth.
