Weird Game: My Talent is a Bit Strong

[Reminder: The subway has successfully departed from the half-platform station, and the souls of the victims have been released.]

You have received the following rewards: 3000 Ghost Money, 2000 Psychic Energy, and a Cursed Bottle.

[Reminder: You have perfectly cleared the Half-Mount Subway Station instance. This instance will no longer be available to other players!]

As the subway entered the tunnel and the light appeared at the end, a prompt appeared before Fan Chen's eyes.

He returned to his personal space.

Successfully cleared the game!

Fan Chen glanced around at the empty surroundings, took out a shroud, and wrapped the Tiger-Slaying Blade in it to put it away.

"I can't feel at ease; that emotional connection has been severed..."

Fan Chen took a look around and then opened the friends list on the system panel.

All surviving players who enter the same instance will automatically become friends.

Fan Chen searched quickly and soon found An Ran's name!

At the same time, Fan Chen also saw the name of the fortune teller Wen Ya.

as well as……

"Su Wanwan?"

Did she survive too?

Su Wanwan's name was prominently listed in the friends list.

Her name was recorded in the friends list, proving that she had also survived.

Those two sycophants she controlled are already dead.

The Half Platform subway station instance was very difficult, and six out of eight players were killed.

But three survived...

Fan Chen: That's the value of a survival rate exceeding 100%.

He requested to communicate with Anran, and the call was quickly connected.

"Are you alright?" Fan Chen asked.

An Ran's voice, trembling with suppressed excitement, rang out: "I... I'm back in my personal space! I'm alive again!"

"Now I can return to reality anytime!"

"Thank you, thank you, boss..."

"That's good." Fan Chen was also happy for her and urged, "Then hurry back to reality, I think your family will be very happy."

I had previously seen An Ran's memories and learned that she and her mother depended on each other for survival.

During the time she was in a coma, her mother must have been very worried.

As an orphan, Fan Chen has always envied and cherished the warmth of family.

"Boss, I'll definitely find a way to visit you once I get back to reality," An Ran said hastily, ending the call.

Fan Chen's expression was slightly melancholy: that hypnotic command was affecting the peace of the eerie world.

Once she returns to reality, I wonder if it will still be effective?

He had previously confirmed with Li Qian that the mental state of the strange players could be affected by the game.

Hypnosis... should also be able to play a role in reality, right?

Then, Fan Chen couldn't wait to take out the reward for this perfect clear.

"The reward is this wine bottle..."

He took out a wine bottle, similar to the one he found in the dungeon, but the description was completely different.

The bottle has an extra cap, and there's still liquid inside.

[Warning: This is a bottle of wine cursed by an alcoholic.]

Spirit Level: 8

Effect: Alcohol emboldens the timid. After drinking the alcohol inside, your mental attributes will be temporarily locked and will no longer be affected.

However, after the lockout period ends, you will suffer a curse backlash and enter a drunken state.

The wine in the bottle will slowly replenish itself.

As your spirit level increases, the duration of attribute locking will decrease.

Note: Only one of these items is available!

"Lock on mental attributes?"

Fan Chen carefully examined the item's description, and his eyes lit up.

He couldn't wait to try it, so he opened the bottle and took a sip of the liquor.

The drink was very spicy, and the next moment a five-second countdown appeared in front of him.

A sip of alcohol can lock your attributes for five seconds.

Fan Chen seized the opportunity and raised his hand to cast [Ban on Movement].

This skill will continuously deplete your Spirit and Stamina attributes.

But now, only his stamina attribute is decreasing, while his mental attribute remains unchanged.

The mental attribute has been locked.

The five-second time limit quickly expired, and Fan Chen stopped casting the skill.

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

Spirit +17

Maximum Spirit +1

Endurance +9

[Psionic Power +12]

The curse of drunkenness was absorbed by the Soul Eater and turned into a positive buff...

Fan Chen: It's so great to get both sex and money!

The purpose of this wine bottle is to grant players a brief period of mental invincibility, but they will suffer a drunken curse afterward.

Its effects are quite powerful, and it is also very useful for Fan Chen.

After learning the "Forbidden Movement" skill in this dungeon, he discovered that even with a Soul Eater, there might still be situations where attribute values ​​are insufficient during battle.

Some skills consume a lot of attributes.

Being able to directly lock attribute values ​​is quite useful.

It truly lives up to its reputation as an exclusive reward for a perfect completion of the game.

Fan Chen happily put the wine bottle away, and then couldn't wait to explore his personal space.

After being upgraded two levels, the space expanded again.

This time, the Red Rose Restaurant successfully escaped the shroud of gray fog.

Fan Chen arrived at the restaurant door without incident.

At the same time, Fan Chen also vaguely saw new buildings emerging from the fog in the distance.

That's the entrance to the subway station, the half-platform subway station!

Hmm? Looking towards the subway station, Fan Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and saw two figures, one tall and one short, standing at the entrance.

It's... a subway station manager with a scruffy beard, and a vengeful little girl in a white dress!

The subway station manager seemed to be waving at Fan Chen.

Fan Chen: So when the previous instance ended, wasn't it waving goodbye?

The little girl seemed a bit scared. When Fan Chen looked over, he turned around and ran back into the subway.

It was afraid of Fan Chen.

The vengeful spirit is very difficult to kill. Although Fan Chen killed it, as long as the subway train where the disaster occurred still exists, it can be resurrected within it.

"These ghosts are still in the instance; what use are they?"

Fan Chen looked at the ghost restaurant in front of him with doubt in his heart.

The ghostly waitress stood behind the glass door, her pale face bearing a blank smile as she looked over.

"..."

Although I was startled when I first entered the dungeon, it feels quite familiar now.

He pushed open the glass door and walked into the restaurant.

"Welcome, what would you like to eat?" the ghostly waitress said in a cold tone, handing over the menu.

This is still a ghost restaurant.

The rule that you'd be kicked out if you didn't order food seems to have disappeared.

But Fan Chen still ordered a spicy chicken rice bowl—he was indeed a little hungry.

"Please wait a moment, your food will be served shortly." The female ghost waitress walked into the kitchen.

Fan Chen looked around the restaurant, his gaze falling behind the counter.

The ghostly Rose, dressed in a cheongsam and possessing a unique charm, leaned forward, propping herself up on the table, and looked over with a smile.

A ring of hideous scars marked his long neck.

Isn't it afraid of its head suddenly falling off in that position?

"Boss lady..." Fan Chen tried to greet her.

"I am now in your spirit realm. You can just call me Rose," Rose said with a smile.

Its voice was equally cold, yet carried a clear emotion.

The Spirit Realm... refers to the player's personal space?

Fan Chen's expression turned serious. Unlike the female ghost waitress, Rose seemed to know more.

"What's going on here?" Fan Chen asked.

"I don't know."

Unfortunately, Rose said this as she touched the scar on her neck with her slender fingers.

"I... have been asleep for too long, have forgotten many things, and I am not whole."

"Incomplete?" Fan Chen asked curiously. "Then how can you make it complete?"

"When you meet the other versions of me, help me find them," Rose said.

This reminded Fan Chen of the bandaged ghost.

An Ran mentioned that the bandaged female ghost she encountered was only a part of the bandaged ghost.

The powerful ghost seems to be able to split itself, appearing in many dungeons.

The rose before you is only one part of the complete ghost...

"This must be very difficult," Fan Chen said with a wry smile.

Whether or not you help me restore it to its original state is your decision.

Rose smiled charmingly: "This place already belongs to you, including me, and also Ahri and Alian."

Ah Li is the name of the female ghost waitress, while A Lian is the ghost chef in the kitchen.

Ignoring the subtle ambiguity in Rose's words, Fan Chen's eyes lit up.

As predicted, after a perfect completion of the game, these ghosts will be under his control to some extent.

There's also the subway station manager, and the little ghost...

Unfortunately, Fan Chen did not see the ghost residents or the murderer inside the fog-shrouded building.

They seemed to have completely disappeared as their obsession dissipated.

Rose took a wine glass from the counter and poured herself a glass of wine.

"You can come here anytime from now on." It smiled and handed the wine to Fan Chen.

……

Special ward in a hospital in Tianjing City.

The woman, who had been sleeping soundly in the hospital bed, slowly opened her eyes.

"I...I'm alive!"

"I survived!"

Anran sat up, looked at her hands with surprise, and burst into tears of excitement.

"Anran?" The woman sleeping in the next bed was startled awake and hurriedly got up and rushed to her side.

With trembling hands, he stroked her face.

"You're awake? Mom wasn't dreaming, was she?"

"Mom, I'm awake. You're not dreaming."

The mother and daughter embraced each other excitedly.

After a long while, once she had calmed down a bit, the woman suddenly remembered something and frantically ran to find a doctor.

An Ran got out of bed. Three months of sleep had caused some muscle atrophy in her legs.

However, perhaps due to the influence of the eerie world and the meticulous care in the special ward, she only felt that her legs were a little stiff and weak, but she did not lose the ability to walk.

She staggered into the bathroom attached to the ward, looked at herself in the mirror, and couldn't hide the joy on her face.

I lowered my head, turned on the tap, and washed my face.

She didn't see that another figure was faintly reflected in the mirror in front of her.

His body was wrapped in bandages, and the few patches of skin that were exposed were covered with burn scars.

Did the bandaged female ghost follow her into reality?

The female ghost's figure flashed by, and by the time An Ran looked up, she was gone.
