Weird Game: My Talent is a Bit Strong
Chapter 244 Even NPCs will bite when pushed to the limit.
The fourth floor of Tiantong Building houses a financial company.
An argument between two employees at the company escalated into a fight.
Fan Chen, as a security guard, now needs to mediate the conflict.
As soon as Fan Chen entered the company, the female ghost at the front desk, who was guarding the entrance, came to greet him.
"You've finally arrived. The two of them have already started fighting, and they won't listen to any of our attempts to persuade them. Now it's up to you."
It led the way while speaking in a cold tone.
Company employees fighting—isn't that under the jurisdiction of the company's senior management?
Why are you looking for security?
Fan Chen was puzzled, but he also knew that this was a bizarre dungeon after all, and it was normal for there to be some illogical settings.
Fan Chen was taken to a staff lounge.
A circle of ghost employees had already gathered there, and among them, two male ghosts had been glaring angrily at each other.
They all looked disheveled, their clothes torn, and their pale skin marked with bruises and swelling, clearly having already been through a fight.
"I don't like the look of you, what can you do about it?"
"If you don't like what you do, you can quit. Why are you still hanging around at the company?"
"I love working here, why can't you leave?"
"Get out!"
"Get out!"
When Fan Chen arrived, it was as if a cutscene had been triggered in a video game, and the two ghosts began to argue.
The other ghost employees around him also pretended to be worried and looked at Fan Chen.
The player's next task is to find a way to mediate the conflict between the two ghosts and stop them from continuing to argue.
According to the guide, Fan Chen needs to talk to the two ghosts separately.
Comfort and persuade them, offer emotional support, and help them calm down.
During this process, the security guard player will be affected by the eerie influence of the ghost employee and may also be attacked by ghosts.
Of course, if players have Nightmare-type skills or items, they can also directly affect them.
The mediation task is complete as long as they stop fighting and arguing.
"So, all we need to do is make them stop being hostile to each other, right?"
Fan Chen pondered for a moment and then came up with an idea.
If you really follow the guide and act as a concerned security guard to comfort them, that would take too much time.
He has a more direct and faster way.
Under the watchful eyes of the many ghost employees, Fan Chen walked straight up to one of the quarreling ghosts.
The quarrelsome one, with red eyes, looked at Fan Chen.
"What business is it of yours to be a security guard like you..." it said angrily.
*Slap!* Fan Chen raised his hand and slapped it across the face.
Ghost Number One opened its eyes wide in astonishment. Its pale face was covered in a large patch of damage, making it look even more terrifying.
Upon seeing this, Ghost Number Two immediately became happy.
Before it could even gloat a few times, *slap!* Fan Chen slapped it across the face again.
It knocked its head to one side.
The eyes of the two ghosts simultaneously glared maliciously at Fan Chen.
"How dare you hit me..."
"You're asking for it..."
In NPC form, the behavior patterns of ghosts will match the role being played.
They now perceive themselves as company employees working in the Tiantong Building.
How dare Fan Chen, a mere security guard, attack them?
At the same time, they felt anger and hatred towards Fan Chen.
The hatred between them vanished without a trace.
[Reminder: You have successfully mediated the conflict between two employees who were fighting (1/3).]
Your reward: +800 Psychic Energy, +300 Ghost Money
mission completed!
Why mediate any conflicts? Just take all their hatred upon yourself, isn't that enough?
Fan Chen: Let's talk about whether they've stopped fighting and made peace.
He chuckled, then noticed that the two fighting ghosts were still staring at him with malice.
Their faces suddenly stiffened, as if they were wearing eerie masks.
The other ghost employees around them also became eerily sinister at the same time.
[Warning: You have been attacked by a nightmare!]
Spirit +3
Spirit +5
Spirit +2
...]
Fan Chen was subjected to strange influences from various ghosts.
Even NPCs will bite when pushed to the limit.
Fan Chen remained calm as he drew his Ghost Eye Tiger-Slaying Blade, his figure instantly enveloped in a layer of blood-red aura.
His eyes swept over the surrounding ghosts.
Many of the ghost employees, upon meeting his gaze, turned away to look elsewhere.
The two fighting ghosts returned to normal, and the malice in their eyes cleared.
In a fit of anger... they became enraged.
So Fan Chen picked up the Ghost Eye Tiger-Slaying Blade and left the company.
"rustle……"
Just as I walked back to the entrance of the building, the walkie-talkie on my waist suddenly started making noise again.
"A company employee suddenly fell ill while exercising at the gym on the first floor. Fan Chen, you need to handle this matter quickly."
[Reminder: You have received a mission to maintain order. Go to the gym to treat a patient.]
Fan Chen's eyes lit up; this was an event that Li Qian had orchestrated and succeeded.
So he got into the elevator and went down to the first floor.
The elevator faces the gatehouse. As Fan Chen passed by, he saw Cai Desheng still standing guard there, doing his duties.
The female player had already completed the task and left.
"Chen, Brother Chen..." Cai Desheng greeted Fan Chen with a fawning expression.
But Fan Chen ignored him and went straight into the fitness club on the first floor.
Soon, he saw patients who needed help.
It was an old ghost, slumped down next to a treadmill.
The old ghost's skin was grayish-white; it was unclear whether this was his natural color or if it was due to illness.
Li Qian stood aside with her arms crossed and a cold smile.
"What's going on?" Fan Chen asked curiously.
"It ran for several kilometers and that's how it ended up," Li Qian said.
She went to great lengths to create opportunities for Fan Chen to complete tasks.
After 2km, there was another 2km, and they kept speeding up the treadmill, which exhausted this old man to the point of collapse.
The other fitness enthusiasts around dared not speak out, and were extremely wary of the Yin-Yang aura emanating from Li Qian.
"Is he exhausted?" Fan Chen frowned as he looked at the old ghost lying motionless on the ground.
Ghosts don't need to breathe, but the old ghost not only didn't breathe, it also seemed to have lost all its eerie aura.
"I didn't receive any notification," Li Qian said, shaking her head.
In NPC form, ghosts will not attack players randomly, but will react according to their identity.
The old ghost was forced to run 10km and fainted, which is a normal reaction for an elderly person.
"If you stab it, it will definitely jump up," Li Qian suggested, pointing at the old ghost.
How can you be so cruel to NPCs?
Fan Chen immediately rejected Li Qian's suggestion.
He squatted in front of the old ghost, and several blue bolts of lightning shot out from his outstretched palms.
"I'll give it an electrotherapy treatment."
Li Qian: "..."
That seems even crueler, doesn't it?
Electrotherapy is a skill used by psychiatrists to suppress the power of nightmares.
The masked ghosts in this dungeon all possess the Nightmare attribute.
The old ghost's withered face seemed to twitch slightly.
It tried to play its part, lying motionless on the ground.
Sizzle, sizzle, Fan Chen placed his hands on the old man's forehead.
Blue lightning instantly spread throughout the old ghost's body, causing it to tremble violently.
It still hasn't "woke up".
So Fan Chen continued to administer electrotherapy to the elderly man.
With a crackling sound, the old ghost's hair stood on end, and a wisp of blue smoke rose faintly from his body.
It remained lying motionless on the ground.
"Still not good?" Fan Chen was somewhat impressed by its "dedication".
Li Qian fanned her nose with her hand: "Fan Chen, you should just stab it... I can smell the burning."
"No, I'll increase the electrotherapy dosage a bit more." Fan Chen still refused to give up.
The blue lightning between his hands intensified.
Just as it was about to strike the old man's forehead, the old ghost suddenly jumped up.
"I've recovered and don't need to continue electrotherapy anymore," it said to Fan Chen, its hair still steaming.
To prove he was healthy, he jumped twice.
[Reminder: You have successfully helped an elderly person who is ill (2/3).]
Your reward: Psychic Energy +850 Ghost Coins +280
"All done." Fan Chen raised an eyebrow at Li Qian.
Li Qian gave Fan Chen a thumbs up without saying a word.
"You're still missing one security guard assignment, right? Do you want me to help you get another one?" Her big eyes then searched for the other fitness enthusiasts.
Those fitness enthusiasts who saw her froze and dodged to the side.
"No need, we still have some time. I'll go check on An Ran and Mu Chen," Fan Chen said with a smile.
Fan Chen planned to finish all the security tasks before the first Red Moon.
Only thirty-five minutes have passed since the start of the instance.
There were still a dozen minutes until the red moon appeared; he still had time.
Although Li Qian's abilities as a ghost messenger have a great deterrent effect on these ghosts.
But if you push them too hard, Li Qian will be under even more pressure when the red moon arrives.
After saying goodbye to Li Qian, Fan Chen prepared to go to the seventh floor.
But as soon as he got into the elevator, his walkie-talkie rang again.
"Someone has sprained their ankle in the stairwell between the eighth and ninth floors. Fan Chen, go and help them."
[Reminder: You have been assigned a task to maintain order and assist a company employee who has sprained their ankle.]
I'm really lucky, the third task is coming up.
Fan Chen immediately changed his destination and went to the eighth floor.
Carrying an oil lamp, he turned into the stairwell and soon saw the employee who had sprained his ankle.
She was a female employee, pale-faced, dressed in a business suit, sitting on the steps.
"Security guard, you're finally here! Can you help me back to the company?"
Its chilling voice spoke to Fan Chen.
"Okay," Fan Chen agreed. "Which floor is your company on?"
"The thirteenth floor," the female employee replied. "I work for Shengxian Company on the thirteenth floor."
Fan Chen paused slightly, a staff member from the thirteenth floor?
If you encounter someone claiming to be a staff member from the thirteenth floor, do not believe anything they say.
