Weird Game: My Talent is a Bit Strong

Instantly, all the players' eyes turned to Fan Chen.

Fan Chen was slightly taken aback, then felt dizzy and smelled a strong smell of alcohol in his mouth and nose.

[Warning: You are under the influence of the Drunken Curse!]

Spirit +4

Spirit +5

Maximum Spirit +1

Psychic +2

...]

Fan Chen immediately regained consciousness, and the strong smell of alcohol disappeared.

"A drunken curse... Was that dizziness from being drunk?"

Fan Chen understood that the player whose mouth was pointed at by the bottle would not instantly collapse, but would enter a state of intoxication.

He turned his head and glanced at the flat-headed player who had fallen earlier.

They discovered that the person was indeed not dead; they could still see the rise and fall of his chest and abdomen, and faint snoring could be heard.

He's really drunk...

Seeing that Fan Chen was unharmed despite being pointed at by the bottle, the other players were quite surprised.

Is this the skill level of a top player?

Completely ignoring the influence of this bizarre bottle!

The bottle couldn't curse Fan Chen. It swayed slightly, and after a moment, it started spinning again, abandoning Fan Chen as its target.

The other players tensed up again.

Fan Chen frowned: You've already given up cursing me after only a short while?

He walked straight to the spinning bottle and grabbed it in his hand.

Other players: "Holy crap, you actually dared to grab it with your bare hands!"

Live stream viewers: "Calm down, this is just Chen Ge's usual routine!"

[Warning: This is a cursed wine bottle.]

Spirit Level: 4

Effect: A drunkard missed an important matter because of drinking, and the bottle, carrying the drunkard's regret, became a curse.

The person pointed at by the bottle's opening will become intoxicated.

It's a handy weapon, but wielding it will subject you to a persistent curse of drunkenness.

A notification message appeared before Fan Chen's eyes.

A bottle that bears the regret of an alcoholic?

Fan Chen gripped the wine bottle and swung it around in his hand.

How about a handy weapon? For cracking someone's skull open?

"This is more like a quest item than a weapon."

Fan Chen made a deduction.

This is the drunkard's wine bottle. Where is the drunkard?

As Fan Chen gripped the bottle, he began to be continuously affected by the curse of drunkenness.

However, the effect was much weaker, and the reverse boost that Fan Chen, the Soul Eater, received only increased little by little.

better than nothing.

Keep this bottle; it might come in handy someday.

He walked over to the player with the buzz cut and quickly checked his status.

He then dragged him with one hand to a bench on the side of the platform.

"He's fine; he was just affected by the curse on the bottle and became intoxicated."

Fan Chen said to the other players, then thought for a moment and added, "Besides us, there are probably other ghosts in the subway station. You'd better be careful."

He proactively shared this information because he didn't know what these ghosts would do, and players affected by them might become a menace.

The other players quickly and instinctively looked around.

The empty and quiet subway station was instantly enveloped in a kind of eerie atmosphere.

Fan Chen, carrying the wine bottle, continued exploring the subway station.

He went to the vending machine placed in the corner.

Through the glass cabinet, Fan Chen could see the canned beverages inside.

The beverage can packaging is printed with words such as "Spirit +20", "Stamina +30", and "Health +30".

Can these drinks directly increase a player's attributes?

"Hehe." Fan Chen laughed.

There are drinks and foods that can improve player attributes.

For example, food cooked by Fan Chen using basic cooking skills can increase attributes.

There is a profession called bartender, who can mix drinks that can enhance player attributes.

However, the food and drinks from the ghosts in the dungeon are all cursed.

Most of these will affect the player's attributes.

Since these drinks can increase player attributes, it means their side effects are even more terrible.

"I'd like to try a can." With that thought, Fan Chen became interested.

But don't rush, let's try it again later.

Fan Chen's gaze then fell on the poster on the wall in front of him.

The posters are quite old; they're from some kind of cosmetics brand. Several of the posters feature a beautiful female celebrity smiling directly at the front.

Bright eyes and white teeth, endless charm.

But Fan Chen soon noticed that under one of the posters, someone had written a line of words in a crooked and messy manner: "Disfigured ugly monster!"

"Disfigured..."

Did the female celebrity on the poster become an ugly monster because of disfigurement?

Fan Chen thought of the rule mentioned in the Fengdu Daily: Don't stare at celebrity posters in subway stations for more than five seconds.

Um... I couldn't resist my curiosity and wanted to try it out. I wondered what would happen if I stared at it for five seconds.

Fan Chen's actions were not reckless or arrogant, but rather due to his talent as a Spirit Eater, which made him fearless of bizarre attacks.

In the instance, he had a completely different mindset from the other players.

And this kind of attempt can also uncover more information.

He first glanced tentatively at the female celebrity on the poster.

He clearly remembered from his earlier cursory glance that the female celebrity's eyes were looking straight ahead.

At this moment, however, he was staring at Fan Chen.

The poster is definitely suspicious!

Fan Chen moved to the other side and glanced at the poster again, and sure enough, he noticed the female celebrity's eyes looking over at him.

If you stare at it for five seconds, will it climb down from the poster?

Fan Chen moved his hand and took out the tiger-slaying knife wrapped in tattered cloth.

He put away the shroud, revealing a cold blade that emitted a red glow.

After being wrapped in a shroud for five days, the Tiger-Slaying Blade's spirit level has successfully increased to level seven, equal to Fan Chen's current spirit level.

Its lethality has increased significantly, and the curses of Li Hu on it are even more ferocious.

"Hahaha, you'll never get rid of me in this lifetime..."

As soon as the shroud was put away, the blood-red aura condensed into Li Hu's ferocious face, which began to roar in Fan Chen's ear.

Fan Chen: The upgraded power bank works much better.

Li Hu's Ju-on is even more energetic now!

At the same time, Fan Chen activated [Alert], sensing the hostility around him.

Their attention was once again drawn to the female celebrity on the poster.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, the time quickly exceeded five seconds.

The female celebrity stared directly at Fan Chen, but Fan Chen did not notice anything amiss.

He did not detect any hostile targets in his alertness.

"Nothing happened?"

Just as Fan Chen frowned in confusion, a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder.

Hey!

Fan Chen turned around and slashed down with his sword.

But when he saw who was behind him, he quickly stopped his attack.

The person who patted him on the shoulder was a player, a short, average-looking female player who wore glasses.

With the tiger-slaying sword held to her neck, her face turned pale instantly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." she said hurriedly, her voice trembling slightly.

Fan Chen sheathed his tiger-slaying sword and asked, "What do you want?"

"My name is Wen Ya. Can we team up?" she asked Fan Chen.

Like Su Wanwan, she wanted to get along well with Fan Chen.

Seeing the resistance in Fan Chen's eyes, she quickly continued, "Although my combat skills aren't very strong, I still have other value to you!"

"What is its value?" Fan Chen asked.

Wen Ya glanced upwards; she clearly knew that Fan Chen's dungeon run was being broadcast live in its entirety.

She was looking at the possible locations of the live stream room.

After a slight hesitation, she made up her mind and continued, "I have a special profession called fortune teller."

"I can determine good or bad fortune through divination."

"If you protect me, I can divine your fortune and help you pass the level safely!"

Fan Chen's expression flashed with surprise; this girl actually had a special profession.

Or a fortune teller?

In the live stream room, the number of comments instantly surged.

"The profession of fortune teller—this is an extremely rare and specialized profession!"

"Being able to predict good or bad fortune is an incredible help!"

"This kind of profession is a treasure for any guild!"

"I never expected to see a new fortune teller appear during the live stream!"

"Those powerful diviners can even divine the rules of the instance directly!"

In the subway station.

Fan Chen's eyes became curious as he looked Wen Ya up and down.

"Can you predict good or bad fortune?" he asked.

But he couldn't help but wonder, if he could predict good or bad fortune, why did he suddenly approach him and pat his shoulder?

If he hadn't stopped in time, Wenya's head would have been ripped off.

"You won't hurt me, that's what my divination told me."

Seemingly noticing Fan Chen's question, Wen Ya explained.

Then, as if to prove her ability, she quickly pulled out a deck of cards from her pocket and handed them to Fan Chen.

"I can perform a divination for you right now, predicting your chances of survival in this instance."

She said with considerable confidence, "With my current abilities, my predictions about survival rates are the most accurate I can make."

"Okay." Fan Chen also wanted to try divination, so he agreed.

Under Wenya's guidance, a card was drawn from the deck.

He discovered that the cards were neither playing cards nor tarot cards.

The cards are covered with a jumble of symbols that look like a child's scribbles.

As Wenya held the cards in her hand and looked at them, her eyes seemed to suddenly become clouded with a white mist, turning completely reddish-white.

It really can be used for divination...

Fan Chen thought to himself, and then he heard Wen Ya say in a strange tone:

"Your survival rate in this instance, according to my divination, is... 130%!"

Fan Chen: "?"

Live stream chat: "?"

Even if they weren't girls, how could their survival rate exceed 100%?

Fan Chen's face twitched involuntarily. "I can accept a 100% divination result, but what the hell is 130%?"

The red and white in Wenya's eyes faded, and her expression became puzzled, her face full of confusion:

"How could this happen... This shouldn't be happening, this is the first time something like this has ever occurred to me!"

"Hehe, it seems your divination skills aren't quite up to par yet," Fan Chen chuckled.

Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of a figure.

Standing not far from him, under that celebrity poster.

It vaguely resembled a woman, but her body was wrapped in bandages, and her movements were contorted and bizarre.

Fan Chen hurriedly turned his head to look, but the bandaged woman's figure had already disappeared.

"Is this... the female celebrity from the poster?"

"It really crawled out of the poster..."
