Weird Game: My Talent is a Bit Strong

As soon as Fan Chen's hand was grabbed by the water ghost, he immediately felt the dragging force.

[Warning: You have been attacked by a curse!]

Spirit +8

Endurance +12

Endurance cap +1

Psychic +8

...]

Water ghosts possess a strange, curse-like power.

Players attacked by them will suffer a drowning curse: their minds will become chaotic, their bodies will gradually weaken, and they will be dragged to the bottom of the water.

However, these curse effects were transformed into positive amplifications under the Soul Eater's talent.

The downward dragging force was negligible for Fan Chen.

Soon, the water ghost realized it couldn't pull Qingsong into the water and instinctively wanted to give up.

But as soon as it released Fan Chen's hand, Fan Chen grabbed its wrist in return.

Come out here!

With a splash, Fan Chen yanked it off the lake and threw it onto the boat.

Fan Chen sat near the bow of the boat, next to an open space.

The water ghost could still make out a human appearance and could tell that it was an old man.

It wore tattered, decaying clothes, its skin was covered in rotting marks, and it was covered in slimy mucus, emitting a foul stench.

It let out a piercing scream and struggled to climb back into the lake.

Fan Chen stood up and stepped on it.

The guide ghost stood at the bow of the ship, his face twitching again.

"Tourist, we don't accept these," it said to Fan Chen.

Don't cause trouble, this is a camp employee, quickly put it back in the lake...

The water ghost was pinned down by Fan Chen, and after twisting and turning for a while, it found that it could not break free.

Then it twisted its body, opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, waved its claws, and pounced on Fan Chen's legs.

Fan Chen had already drawn his Tiger-Slaying Blade and slashed down at the enemy's face.

[Opening the chest]

Under the crimson light of the blade, the water ghost's body was slit open at an angle, and then collapsed into a pool of black water.

[Warning: You have killed a Drowned Ghost (Level 8, Undead)!]

[Psionic Power +280]

Fan Chen's eyes lit up when he saw the prompt in front of him.

Water ghosts are undead creatures; killing one grants nearly 300 psychic experience points!

He persevered, squatting down again and putting his arm into the lake.

"You're coming again?"

Whether on the ship or in the live stream, all the players were shouting in their hearts at the same time.

"Is my brother Chen trying to catch a water ghost to increase his spiritual level?"

"Damn, this is an eye-opener. This is the first time I've seen a player use themselves to fish for water ghosts."

"All I can say is that Fan Chen is highly skilled and incredibly daring."

"Even Mo Xiaohua, that mentally ill person, wouldn't do something like this..."

"I think Brother Chen is trying to dig out clues."

The viewers in the live stream were having a lively discussion.

Fan Chen quickly caught a second water ghost.

He still dragged the water ghost to the lake and killed it with a single blow using his tiger-slaying sword.

Meanwhile.

"I, I caught a fish!" someone shouted in surprise.

Dragging the fishing rod, a strange black fish was pulled out of the lake.

"I caught one too!"

"The fish, the fish has taken the bait!"

The other players on the small boat gasped in surprise.

The black monster fish that he caught was exchanged for ghost money in the hands of the ghost guide.

During this process, Fan Chen caught two more water ghosts and gutted them.

The players quickly realized what was going on: the water ghosts had all been attracted to Fan Chen's vicinity.

They were no longer bothered by the water ghosts, so they were able to catch fish smoothly!

"Was Fan Chen deliberately trying to lure the water ghost into helping us?"

"He lured the water ghosts to his side, so we were no longer bothered by them!"

"In the movie world, he killed those cultists and saved us..."

"He also appeared in the grassy maze and helped me kill those innocent ghosts."

"He's such a nice person!"

They couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

The round-faced girl glanced sideways at Mo Xiaohua and muttered, "They're both death row inmate players, so why is there such a big difference?"

Mo Xiaohua kept his head down, and no one could see the expression on his face.

Fan Chen frowned upon hearing these words.

No, aren't you guys overthinking this?

I just wanted to kill a few more ghosts, I really didn't intend to save you.

Han Bin's face was already contorted with distress.

Because he was sitting right next to Fan Chen, the water ghost attracted him, and within just a few minutes, he was harassed by the water ghost twice!

I haven't caught a single fish yet.

Han Bin was both anxious and annoyed, but dared not say anything.

Fan Chen: You chose it! My idol!

Suddenly, Fan Chen felt something unusual again as he reached his arm into the lake.

Instead of being grabbed by the water ghost's claws, her arm was wrapped around a clump of seaweed-like hair.

This water ghost is no ordinary one!

Fan Chen's eyes lit up, and he immediately grabbed the tangled hair and pulled it out.

What came into view was a sea of ​​blood-red.

This is a female water ghost, wearing a red dress.

"The water ghost in red clothes mentioned in the Fengdu Daily!"

Fan Chen was overjoyed; he had finally caught it.

His main purpose in fishing for water ghosts was actually this!

Unlike other water ghosts that are covered in signs of decay, the red-clothed water ghost has no signs of decay on its body.

There were only faint, scale-like patterns.

Beneath her disheveled hair, you could tell she was originally a beautiful girl.

But it has no eyelids, and its eyes protrude slightly, like a fish's eyes.

Her messy hair flew wildly, like overgrown seaweed, and quickly spread to the other players on the boat, causing them to gasp in surprise.

The red-clad water ghost brandished its sharp claws and lunged at Fan Chen.

Its fingers have grown sharp nails.

Fan Chen understood that it had begun to transform into a vengeful ghost, becoming more ferocious and troublesome.

This is considered an elite water ghost.

[No Entry]

Fan Chen conjured an invisible wall in front of him, blocking the water ghost's attack.

Then came a cleaving blow.

Bang! This butcher skill, which could kill an ordinary water ghost with a single strike, was blocked by the red-clad water ghost raising his arm.

The scales that appear on its skin have extremely strong defensive capabilities.

Clumps of hair bypassed the restricted wall, spreading out from behind Fan Chen and wrapping around his body.

But Fan Chen swung his knife and cut off all the hair.

Under the influence of the Soul Eater, the eerie aura of the ghost's hair was devoured, and it became just ordinary hair.

"Can't opening your chest hurt you?"

"Alright then..."

【Cleaving bones】

Fan Chen finally found an opportunity to use his newly learned butcher skills.

Swish! The bone-chopping technique didn't produce any dazzling blood-red blade energy, or even any visible effects.

It only has extreme speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness!

All that could be seen were the afterimages left by the machete in Fan Chen's hand.

The tiger-slaying blade slashed down at the red-clad water ghost.

The red-clad water ghost roared and waved its arms again to block.

*Sizzle!* Then its reinforced arm broke off.

The cleaver swept away everything in its path, continuing its downward journey.

The Bone-Slaying skill is simple and unadorned, just like an ordinary slash.

However, it possesses a destructive power far exceeding that of opening the chest.

Chopping bones is certainly more powerful than disemboweling.

After the slash, the red-clad water ghost lunged at Fan Chen's figure, only to freeze instantly.

The severed arm fell to the ground first, then its body began to break apart and collapsed.

The seaweed-like hair that spread around the small boat hung limply and turned to ashes.

[Warning: You have killed a Drowned Ghost (Level 9, Undead)!]

[Psionic Power +580]

With the prompt before him, the red-clad water ghost's shattered body turned into a pool of black water.

As expected of an elite water ghost, the experience they provide is truly abundant!

Inside the live stream room.

"Holy crap, when that red-clothed water ghost came out, I almost thought Fan Chen was going to get into trouble!"

"This is the Butcher's second skill, Bone Cleaver!"

"When did Brother Chen learn a second killer skill?"

"My brother Chen is awesome!"

"This water ghost had already begun to transform into a vengeful spirit, but Brother Chen still killed it with a single strike!"

As the live stream chat started scrolling, the players on the small boat all wore expressions of shock and disbelief.

They stared blankly at Fan Chen, who was carrying a machete.

When the red-clothed water ghost appeared, they really thought they were doomed.

However, Fan Chen dealt with this nascent ghost in just a few seconds.

So strong!

Mo Xiaohua was also staring at Fan Chen, but besides shock, there seemed to be another glint in her eyes.

After the red-clad water ghost turned into black water, Fan Chen activated his Spirit Detection Eye.

He discovered something in that pool of black water.

I forced myself to take it out; it appeared to be a group photo, covered in disgusting black liquid.

Fan Chen searched his body but couldn't find anything to wipe himself with.

When players enter the game, there are no napkins available.

So he took the shroud from his inventory and wiped the photo clean.

The black stains on the rag disappeared quickly.

The shroud seems to be able to automatically absorb some dirty things.

After killing those cultists in the movie world, the Tiger-Slaying Blade was covered in blood.

Fan Chen didn't pay attention at the time, simply wrapped it in a shroud and put it in his inventory.

When it was taken out again later, it was found that the Tiger-Slaying Blade was as clean as new.

The photo was quickly wiped clean, and by the light of the oil lamp at the bow of the boat, Fan Chen could see that there were three people in the photo.

One of them was the red-clothed water ghost from earlier.

She is standing on the left side of the photo with a happy smile.

In the center of the photo is a beautiful young girl, the very girl who was sacrificed!

On the other side of the girl stood a man, affectionately putting his arm around her shoulder.

The two are clearly in a romantic relationship.

The man's face was somewhat blurry.

The background of the photo vaguely resembles the square of the Red Leaf Camp.

These photos appear to be taken by three people who came here on vacation.

[Reminder: You have discovered a hidden clue.]

It carries the lingering happy memories of the drowned ghost, and may play an important role.

A notification appeared in front of Fan Chen's eyes.

The wine bottle in the Lenovo Half Platform subway station might serve a similar purpose in this photo.

Fan Chen put the photos away.

"It seems the red-clothed water ghost was also killed by cultists."

"It seems that it and the girl who was sacrificed were friends..."

"Who is the man in the photo?"

A question arose in Fan Chen's mind.

Suddenly, he sensed something, looked up, and saw the Guide Ghost's blank face, staring at him expressionlessly.

Uh, I only killed five water ghosts, and there are still about ten left in the lake. Surely not...

"Our night fishing trip is over. We can head back now," the guide said in a cold tone.

Pick up the oars and start rowing towards the dock.

Because Fan Chen killed the red-clothed water ghost, the project ended early, and there was no need to catch four fish anymore.

The players on the ship were immediately delighted.

But at that moment...

Splash! A player suddenly plunged headfirst into the lake.

"Help, help me!"

It was the round-faced girl who was screaming in panic and trying to grab the gunwale.

But several water ghosts quickly appeared beside her.

Without saying a word, they dragged her to the bottom of the lake...
