Weird Game: My Talent is a Bit Strong

The girl tied to the wooden stake suddenly opened her eyes.

As Fan Chen cautiously stepped back, he heard the girl's hoarse cry:

"Let me go, please!"

"I'll give you all my money..."

"Please, please, don't sacrifice me!"

"ah--"

Its words eventually turned into screams.

A ball of flame suddenly rose from beneath the girl's feet and quickly spread throughout her body.

As the flames burned, the wooden stake and the girl turned to ashes, and everything fell silent, leaving only a charred black spot.

[Warning: You have triggered a hidden quest, The Sacrificed Girl.]

Cult members once held a sacrifice at this camp, brutally murdering an innocent girl.

The girl is still suffering endless torment; please help her find relief!

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

His face lit up with joy as he successfully triggered the hidden quest in the dungeon!

"Was that the resentful memories left behind by the girl before she died?"

Fan Chen thought of something and took out the circular object woven from tree branches from his pocket.

The item was taken out and immediately turned to ashes and vanished.

This marker represents a previously triggered clue, a description of the information, and carrying it can unlock more secrets.

It was probably because he had it with him that Fan Chen was able to see the memory fragments from earlier.

If it were any other player, even if they came here, they wouldn't trigger the memory fragment from before.

"This girl was once sacrificed by a follower of the Demon Eye... The hidden mission is to help it find release."

"Its stone statue is in the bonfire in the square, emitting mournful cries for help."

"The normal approach would be for the player to try and extinguish the campfire..."

"However, the Fengdu Daily warns that if the campfire goes out, all players will die."

Fan Chen felt that he was still shrouded in mystery, so he gave up thinking about these questions.

He needs to gather more clues.

"After the grass maze, it's time for night fishing by boat."

"The water ghost in red has a crucial clue..."

Fan Chen began to look forward to the project of fishing for water ghosts.

As if a hidden quest had been triggered, a wave of darkness suddenly surged around Fan Chen.

Just like when the maze opened before.

After a slight dizziness, he found himself back at the exit of the maze.

The grass maze recreational activity has ended.

Surrounded by other players, Fan Chen looked at them and found that everyone, including the player who had been swallowed by the plant wall earlier, was among them.

"I... I didn't die after being swallowed by those green plants..."

"My mental attribute has decreased again!"

"Me too, my energy level dropped by another 50 points!"

"They're finally out!"

They whispered with some relief, just as Fan Chen had guessed, that even if the player was swallowed by the plant wall, they wouldn't die, but they would lose 50 points of sanity.

Among these players, Mo Xiaohua stood quietly to the side, not participating in the discussion with the others.

"The maze was terrifying, but it's finally over..."

At this moment, a girl with a round face suddenly said to Mo Xiaohua.

When some people are nervous or afraid, they like to talk to others without deliberately choosing who to talk to.

"Yes, it's really scary."

Mo Xiaohua said shyly to the round-faced girl, "I've always been a coward, so I deliberately let those ghosts grab me and drag me into the plant wall..."

He seemed a little embarrassed: "I didn't expect to end up back here."

Round-faced girl: "?"

Fan Chen was also slightly taken aback: because of fear, he willingly let the wrongfully dead ghost grab him and be swallowed by the plant wall?

No wonder Fan Chen didn't see him earlier...

In Fan Chen's live stream, the audience also heard Mo Xiaohua's words.

"Really? You're willingly letting a ghost catch you?"

"It's true. I just went to his live stream. He encountered those ghosts and let them catch him."

"No way, is he out of his mind?"

"You guessed right, he really does have mental problems, it's been certified by the hospital."

"Perhaps he realized he wouldn't die if he were captured, so he did it on purpose?"

"Who knows? That's why they say this guy is weird."

Inside the Red Leaf Camp.

The round-faced girl turned her head and saw that it was Mo Xiaohua. She was stunned and silently moved aside.

She just wanted to talk to someone, but she didn't expect to be standing next to this death row inmate player.

The entire game process of death row inmates is streamed live, and their personal appearance is not a secret.

Players who enter this instance not only know Fan Chen, but most of them also know Mo Xiaohua.

"It seems you all had a great time in the grass maze."

The guide ghost walked to the middle of the players and said in a cold tone:

"You can take a break first. Next, we will experience night fishing by boat."

As the players' expressions changed, the guide ghost revealed his blank smile again: "The camp will buy all the fish you catch."

The fish that players catch can be exchanged for ghost money at the Guide Ghost!

Dungeons where you can earn ghost money are still quite rare.

But... let's not even talk about whether you can catch fish in this little lake, there really are water ghosts in it!

The players returned to the plaza and tried various methods to restore their attributes.

Although in previous instances, dying only resulted in a deduction of sanity points, this does not mean that this instance is safe.

Many players have realized that once their mental state drops to a certain level, it may trigger a dangerous event.

After returning to the square, Fan Chen immediately looked at the bonfire in the center.

The flames were still burning.

only……

"Did you get more firewood again?"

The pile of firewood beside the campfire had increased again.

"Is the increase in firewood related to the players?"

Fan Chen walked to the pile of firewood, picked up a piece of wood and examined it in his hand.

It was just ordinary firewood; it didn't trigger any information.

But Fan Chen felt increasingly strange.

"The recreational activities within the camp are constantly eroding the players' mental attributes."

"The amount of firewood increases after each project ends."

"Could the firewood be formed from the player's spiritual attributes?"

The firewood kept the campfire burning, and within the fire was a stone statue of a girl constantly crying for help.

Fan Chen looked at the stone statue in the campfire and pondered the connection between them.

"Save me...save me..." The girl's wailing, accompanied by curses, rang in his ears again, before disappearing once more.

The grass maze we just explored lasted about forty minutes.

When the guide announced the start of the night fishing boating activity, it was exactly two hours into the instance.

The guide ghost picked up the oil lamp again and led the players onto the small boat at the dock.

After placing the oil lamp at the bow, it propelled the oars and rowed towards the center of the lake.

Ten players sat on either side of the small boat, each holding a fishing rod and bait.

Except for Fan Chen, their faces were all somewhat ashen, and they stared intently at the lake below.

Once away from the square, only the oil lamp at the bow of the boat provided illumination, its light barely covering the entire small boat.

Someone suddenly trembled and pointed to the water not far away.

As everyone looked, something emerged from the water; they could vaguely make out an arched back.

You can also see a clump of black hair and limbs underwater.

A moment later it sank completely into the water.

"Fan Chen, you seem to have a detection ability. Can you sense water ghosts?"

Han Bin, dressed in an extravagant suit, sat down next to Fan Chen and asked in a trembling voice.

He believed that being with Fan Chen was the safest place.

Fan Chen: You chose this yourself...

"Yes," Fan Chen said, staring at the lake.

"Where is the water ghost now?" Han Bin continued to ask, and everyone else looked over.

"Here, here, and here..."

Fan Chen pointed around: "There are probably a dozen or so."

The players' expressions immediately turned even worse.

"Tourists, you may begin fishing now."

The guide ghost stopped the boat in the middle of the lake. It turned around, and in the dim light, its face looked even more sinister.

"Each tourist must catch at least four fish for the activity to end."

"Now, you may begin."

Fan Chen immediately raised the fishing rod and put some kind of insect-shaped bait on the hook.

He spotted a spot where several water monsters were swimming and cast his fishing hook into the water.

Seeing Fan Chen set a precedent, the other players also cast their fishing lines with trepidation.

suddenly!

"I, I caught something!" the round-faced girl exclaimed in terror.

Her fishing line began to swing rapidly in the lake, and a human-shaped figure could be vaguely seen swimming underwater.

The water ghost is pulling on her fishing hook!

"My... my mental strength is continuously decreasing!" The round-faced girl's voice trembled.

I wanted to loosen my grip on the fishing rod, but it seemed glued to my hand and I couldn't let go.

After a few moments, her fishing rod finally calmed down.

The round-faced girl lifted the fishing hook to the surface of the water, panting heavily with lingering fear.

"My sanity has decreased by 7 points..."

If a water ghost grabs your hook while you're fishing here, your sanity will keep decreasing!

"As expected, this project also consumes the player's mental attributes." Fan Chen was not surprised, his eyes fixed on his fishing float.

Suddenly, his float moved, and he quickly pulled on the fishing rod.

then……

A black, grotesque fish was pulled out of the water.

"Huh, it's not a water ghost, you actually caught a fish?" Fan Chen was taken aback.

"Congratulations, this fish is worth 214 yuan."

The ghost guide picked up the strange fish, threw it into the bucket next to him, and gave Fan Chen a few pieces of ghost money.

Fan Chen: "..."

"Fine," he said, accepting the ghost money and continuing to cast his line.

The other players were encouraged when they saw Fan Chen successfully catch a fish and earn two hundred ghost coins.

But then, no other players were able to catch any fish.

On the contrary, three players had their fishing hooks caught by the water ghost and it took them a lot of mental effort to break free.

Fan Chen's fishing float bobbed again.

He quickly raised his fishing rod, and another black monster left the water.

Fan Chen: "..."

Why don't the water ghosts in this lake touch my fishing hook?

Do you look down on me?
