In the eastern region of Saint Laurent City, there was a dilapidated little bar.
This was where James worked.
Over the past month after transmigrating to this world, he found himself a job.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t even be able to pay rent, let alone eat and drink.
His salary was not high, and his days were tight. He could barely survive.
After entering the bar and asking around, he realized that he had actually fainted for two days and two nights after eating the black eggs.
“Half of your salary will be deducted this month. Now hurry up and work. If you dare to slack off again, scram. I don’t lack people here!”
The boss said fiercely.
With that, he threw James a pile of work and left.
Although he was not convinced, James did not have a good place to go anytime soon.
Thus, he could only obediently do his work.
After a while, James sensed that something had changed in his body.
Normally, he would have been exhausted after doing so much work. However, he was very energetic today, as if he had endless strength.
Could it be because of those black eggs? Could the black eggs be used to refresh the mind?
It was indeed possible.
After all, the things offered by the cultists were all strange.
Suddenly James wanted to eat a few more eggs, but he couldn’t now. After all, there was still so much work to do.
Otherwise, if he fainted because of eating black eggs and did not finish his work, he would be fired and the work he had done this month would be wasted.
Looking at the dozen large baskets of wheat wine in front of him, a hint of worry appeared on James’ face.
It usually took two or three people to carry a basket of the wheat wine. Furthermore, they had to move these baskets to the cellar behind the bar.
Today, he was the only one working. Thus, this was undoubtedly an exhausting task.
Resigned to his fate, James shook his head. Then, he took a deep breath, picked up the heavy wicker basket, and headed for the cellar with all his might.
To his surprise, he found that the basket in his hands was not as heavy as he had imagined. It was even easier to move it than usual.
After traveling back and forth between the cellar and the front hall dozens of times, James quickly moved all the goods into the cellar.
Furthermore, after finishing these physically exhausting tasks, he did not feel anything at all. His breathing was also extremely stable.
Not only that, he still felt extremely energetic, as if he had an inexhaustible amount of energy.
“Don’t tell me… those eggs not only increase my power, but also strengthen me?”
He thought back to when he ate those two eggs.
He had not encountered any other abnormalities in the past few days, so the changes in his body were most likely due to the black eggs that had been sacrificed.
As he continued to work, James realized that his body seemed to have improved in every way.
After work last night, it was already late at night when he returned to his home.
James, who had finished his work, was in a sorry state. He was dirty and hungry, and half his salary had been deducted. However, James’s face was full of smiles.
“The things sent by the cultists are indeed useful, other than those messy limbs.”
James nodded with satisfaction in his shabby rental house.
If the black egg could improve his physique this time, then what would happen next time?
The next time sacrificial objects were sent over, perhaps he could try to use them again if they were not dangerous, just like the black eggs.
It might bring about strange effects.
James lay in his bed and was about to fall asleep when…
A red array suddenly appeared beside the window.
James sobered a little as he kept an eye on the array on the ground.
He was very sure the cultists were making another sacrifice. However, this time James wasn’t as flustered as before.
After all, after more than a month, he was very familiar with this array.
He might even miss the array if didn’t appear for a period of time.
However, when the red light of the array flickered, James was still somewhat nervous.
The array dazzled for a few seconds before the red light gradually disappeared.
Then, a strange red ball-shaped creature slowly swam out of the array.
That’s right, it swam out.
As a result, there was a layer of viscous mucus on the places where it crawled.
What was even more terrifying was that the red slime had several eyeballs.
This time, the creature that was sent over did not get dizzy. Instead, all its eyes were immediately locked onto James.
“Hey, hey, hey, brother, don’t mess around!”
James started to panic. He swore that he had never seen anything so disgusting. It had to be some kind of chaos creature from the Land of Darkness.
He kept retreating as he watched the monster slowly crawl towards him.
Suddenly, his back hit the wall. Oh no. There was nowhere else for him to retreat.
Before James could think of a way out, the disgusting slime suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed James whole.
James wanted to cry out for help, but once he opened his mouth, the disgusting mucus tried to enter his mouth like a maggot.
He was so shocked that quickly shut his mouth.
Meanwhile, the mucus stuck tightly onto every part of James’s skin.
He felt a sharp pain all over his body, as if his entire body was being corroded.
James felt like he was going to be digested by this thing.
In desperation, James waved his fist and found that the mucus could not block his strength. It could only stick to his body by constantly squirming.
