Weird Game: My Talent is a Bit Strong

"it is good."

The ghost chef, A-Lian, agreed with a blank expression: "Follow me."

It led Fan Chen away from the kitchen and to the front of the store.

Fan Chen followed it curiously and saw it open the glass door of the restaurant.

But the other side of the door is not Fan Chen's personal space.

Instead, it was a somewhat gray street.

"Would the ghost chef's shop door lead to another place?" Fan Chen wondered.

He followed Yi Jianlian out of the ghost restaurant and into the fog-shrouded streets.

A hazy moonlight fell overhead, making it barely possible to see.

Fan Chen followed closely behind the ghost chef.

In the quiet, only the sound of one's own footsteps could be heard.

But one can see many ghostly figures moving about in the mist.

However, the alert system detected no hostility.

After walking for about ten minutes through this eerie and sinister street, UAE stopped.

"This is the slaughterhouse. Go inside, and someone will teach you how to improve your butchering skills," it said, pointing ahead.

Through the blurry fog, Fan Chen saw a sign.

The drawing of the cartoon pig was rusty and had an unsettling quality.

The outline of a factory building can still be vaguely seen, with lights shining through it.

You could almost hear the pigs squealing "Ooh ooh, ooh ooh" in pain.

"Ah Lian, the meat at Red Rose Restaurant isn't all sourced from here, is it?" Fan Chen drew his Ghost Eye Tiger-Slaying Blade and asked, turning his head.

Yi Jianlian shook his head blankly: "The meat here isn't good."

The meat is bad?

Both Yi Jianlian and Ah Li are low-level undead. Although they have a certain degree of self, their consciousness is chaotic, unlike Rose who can communicate smoothly.

So Fan Chen didn't ask any further questions.

He cautiously entered the somewhat dilapidated factory building in front of him.

I pushed open the rusty iron gate and stepped inside.

[Warning: You have entered a bizarre instance, the Slaughterhouse.]

Difficulty: E

Objective: Clear the slaughterhouse of monsters (0/12)

Synopsis: Countless pigs are slaughtered here every day. Their resentment condenses into malevolent energy, possessing the slaughterhouse workers and transforming them into terrifying monsters that will frantically attack players who enter this place.

Note: This is a solo instance for the Butcher class.

With a notification sound, the iron gate behind me slammed shut.

When Fan Chen turned around, he saw thick fog rolling outside, and he could no longer see Yi Jianlian.

"The mission objective is to clear out the monsters... because countless pigs were slaughtered, and their resentment coalesced into malevolent energy, which then possessed the workers?"

Do animals also harbor resentment?

"As long as you kill 12 monsters, you've completed the mission..."

Fan Chen was analyzing the situation in his mind.

There is no perfect clear in the class-specific dungeon, so there are no complicated clues or rules.

In the Slaughterhouse instance, all you need to do is clear out the monsters.

Upon entering the slaughterhouse, a strong smell of blood hits you.

Under the dim yellow light, there was a slaughterhouse with a production line-like layout, fully equipped, but not in operation.

"Ooh! Ooh!" The pig's screams reached Fan Chen's ears even more clearly.

[Warning: You are under the influence of a curse.]

Spirit +2

Endurance +1

Health +1

...]

The screams and the smell of blood here are all cursed.

Fan Chen cautiously strolled through the slaughterhouse, his eyes scanning his surroundings.

In the alert perception, a dot representing malice quickly appeared.

Fan Chen walked in that direction.

He heard a chopping sound.

After passing a row of dead pigs hanging in mid-air, Fan Chen saw a burly figure.

With his back to him, he was chopping meat with a butcher's knife in front of a chopping board.

The malice comes from it.

Getting closer, Fan Chen could see clearly what was on the cutting board: a human corpse.

Because it accumulated the resentment of pigs that were slaughtered, it transformed into a monster and began to slaughter humans...

Even Fan Chen felt a chill run down his spine.

The butcher suddenly stopped what he was doing and turned around.

It revealed a hideous pig's head.

It has the massive body of a human and the head of a pig...

Fan Chen: Hey, Second Senior Brother?

"Whoa whoa!"

Upon seeing Fan Chen, the second senior brother's eyes instantly turned red, and he charged forward wielding a butcher's knife.

Clang! Clang! Fan Chen swung his knife to block, exchanging several blows with it.

Seizing the opportunity, Fan Chen leaped up.

【Cleaving bones】

The Demon Eye Tiger-Slaying Blade slashed down at the pig-headed monster.

The pig-headed monster swung its knife to block.

呲——

The Tiger-Slaying Blade, which had evolved from an ordinary machete into a "divine weapon," directly cleaved the butcher's knife in the pig-headed monster's hand in two.

The blade cut through the flesh like a whirlwind, striking the ferocious pig's head once more, splattering blood and flesh everywhere.

"Ouch—" With a scream, the pig-headed monster's body turned to ashes.

[Reminder: You have killed a monster (10, Undead) in the Slaughterhouse, and your Bone Chopping skill has increased.]

Current level: lv1 (25%)

"Are these possessed monsters also considered undead?"

"After killing, only skill proficiency is increased, no psionic experience is gained..."

Fan Chen frowned slightly.

Actually, the slaughterhouse is a dungeon for the butcher profession. Normally, when players kill pig-headed monsters, they will not only increase their skill proficiency, but also increase their profession level.

Because Fan Chen's temporary workers do not have a professional level, they do not receive any benefits associated with that level.

Of course, this also makes it easier for Fan Chen to learn new professional skills.

With a clatter, Fan Chen had just glanced at the notification when he suddenly heard the sound of chains sliding behind him.

Amidst heightened vigilance, malice inevitably surfaces.

His expression tightened immediately, and he quickly turned around.

Whoosh! A red blob was flung in front of him.

It was a blood-red chain, with an iron hook attached to one end!

Fan Chen hurriedly dodged, but the chain suddenly retracted, and the iron hook instantly snagged his shoulder.

A sharp, piercing pain shot through me instantly.

Although the Soul Eater absorbed some of the strange damage, the remaining physical damage was still terrifying.

A second pig-headed monster appeared.

It was emerging from the row of dead pigs; it had been hiding there all along, and even knew how to conceal its malice.

Unlike monsters that wield butcher knives, this second brother (a character from Journey to the West) holds a butcher knife in one hand and a "chain hook"-type weapon in the other.

The chain hook seemed to be derived from the iron hook used to suspend pork.

"Whoa!" it roared and yanked the chain hook.

Fan Chen was involuntarily hooked towards it!

And the butcher's knife in its hand was raised.

Clearly, this second brother is stronger, and even possesses combination skills.

While suspended in mid-air, Fan Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and the Ghost Eye Tiger-Slaying Blade in his hand emitted a dazzling red light.

【Ghost Eye】

He activated this enchantment skill.

"Perfect timing to test the skill's effects!"

The ferocious pig-headed monster, its body enveloped in red light, suddenly froze, its movements halting for a brief moment.

The freeze lasted for less than a second, but that was enough.

Fan Chen landed on the ground, steadied himself, and swept out with his red blade.

The pig's head of the second senior brother flew high into the air.

[Reminder: You have killed the monster (13, Undead) in the Slaughterhouse...]

This is a level 13 undead.

Are chain hook-type weapons the future direction of the Butcher profession?

The thought flashed through Fan Chen's mind as he quickly treated the injury on his shoulder.

At this moment, the blood-red aura on the Ghost Eye Tiger-Slaying Blade condensed into the face of Three-Eyed Li Hu.

"Lord Demon Eye will surely rule the Netherworld..."

"Fan Chen, submit to the power of Lord Ghost Eye..."

"Accept Lord Demon Eye's baptism..."

Its face was filled with fanaticism as it uttered incoherent ramblings.

The [Ghost Eye] skill comes from the Ghost Eye Evil God. Whenever this skill is used, it will arouse the fanatical chanting of Li Hu, a follower of the Ghost Eye, and trigger the Ghost Eye's brainwashing curse.

This is a side effect of using the Ghost Eye skill.

but……

[Warning: You are cursed by the Ghost Eye!]

Spirit +23

Health +24

...]

The injury on Fan Chen's shoulder from being caught by the chain hook healed almost instantly as his life force recovered.

The attributes consumed by using skills are also being rapidly replenished.

Fan Chen: It's really great that Li Hu managed to get into the evil god's organization...

Li Hu's curses quickly subsided.

Fan Chen continued to wander around the slaughterhouse.

He then encountered several more pig-headed monsters, all of which were between level 10 and 13 in spirit.

Soon, Fan Chen's Bone-Slaying skill reached level 2, and he began to advance to level 3.

And when Fan Chen killed another pig-headed monster.

[Reminder: You have acquired a new killer skill!]

Fan Chen's eyes lit up with joy. After disemboweling and chopping bones, he had obtained his third butcher skill.

And the name of the new skill is...

"Peel it!"

Skill: Skinning

Current level: 1

Description: You can control your blade with greater precision, stripping away anything attached to your target. Using this skill will consume Spirit and Stamina.

"Remove what's possessing the target..."

Fan Chen glanced at the skill description and quickly understood its meaning.

The skinning skill doesn't actually peel skin; it's aimed at possessed ghosts.

such as……

Fan Chen turned his head and saw his second senior brother crawling out of the blood pool.

The pig-headed monster was formed when resentment and malevolent energy possessed a slaughterhouse worker.

Using the new skill, you can remove the resentment and malevolent energy that possesses you.

"Ooh ooh!" the pig-headed monster roared and pounced on Fan Chen.

Fan Chen's eyes lit up, and he went to meet him.

[Peeling]
