Chapter 288: Big Accumulation!
After dealing with the massive mob of enemies, Jacob was feeling somewhat lethargic. He knew he had exhausted a massive amount of energy in a couple of hours of running around while using fluid acceleration and pinpoint focus.
If he didn't have the Unique Endurance of a Wyvern, he might've never kept up with this many enemies, and energy consumption was already hungry beyond salvation, not just lethargic.
However, he wasn't worried about it in the least bit since he had already 'collected' his dinner. Right now, he was in some cavern of magic beast forest that he snatched from an extraordinary tier-6 spike bear after killing it.
There was a large bonfire, and three skewered bodies were roasting over the fire while Jacob was busy gutting the reaming bodies he collected from the mob. As for the three bodies already on the skewered, they were the three bodies of the legendary decadents.
He knew once he consumed their hearts raw, he needed to consume high-grade nutrition to make his body compatible. That's why he's been collecting all the bodies he deemed satisfactory to his need.
However, deep down, he knew these extraordinary beings were no longer enough for his epic body. If his Cursed Blood Condensing percentage increased by a large amount, all this meat, including those three legendary descendants, won't be enough to quench his hunger.
Still, he knew it was likely to be impossible for his Cursed Blood Condensing percentage to increase by a large margin. Even a direct legendary bloodline, the Fire Wyvern, only provides him with 4.9%.
So, these three, who were not even the second or third generation, would likely only provide him with 1% or even less. That's why he wasn't worried about not being able to quench his hunger.
In any blue moon chance, even if that happened, it wasn't like he wasn't ready!
Jacob then skewered ten more bodies around the bonfire before he sat down on the corner, leaning against the wall.
"Well, Immortika's time for today has ended, so I won't be able to keep track of my Cursed Blood Condensing percentage. Anyhow, I have collected three optimal hearts for Cursed Blood Condensing, while I have 389 hearts of extraordinary tier-6s.
"Although they are not optimal for Cursed Blood Condensing, if I eat them all, they might leave me 0.1, or if not, they will be my nutrition." Jacob chuckled before he flipped his hand, and a warm heart appeared, which was actually black.
This heart belongs to one of the two guys he killed at the start, and strangely their hearts were black. Furthermore, when Jacob unwrapped those black clothes from their bodies, he was shocked when he saw they didn't have faces nor eye sockets, or mouths!
Meaning their face were completely made with skin, and there were only two holes for nostrils in the middle of their face and two small ear holes. They didn't even have hair on their head or their entire body, as a matter of fact.
The strangest thing was their bodies were spotless, as if they were born this way.
They also didn't wear any star watches or have any space rings. They didn't even carry small bags. All he got was two cubes and two discs, and that's it.
Their appearances made even Jacob uncomfortable, and if Immortika hadn't assured him they were both eatable, he might not even wanted to eat their meat.
Last but not least, A-0, that guy's heart was normal and only slightly a bit bigger than a human heart by three inches. Not only that, but he collected 10 Space Rings from A-0's hands, and from the look, he could tell they were all at least advance type-1 space rings!
This discovery made Jacob shocked, and he guess this guy's identity had to be quite startling. He still didn't have any clue that he was the Important Grace34 he had few unpleasant interactions with, or he might've already been grinning.
Except for those rings, he also managed to collect 52 space rings and 603 Star Watches, and they were the ones he could find. He knew there were some star watches missing under that explosion, but he wasn't bothered by them.
If he sold all those star watches, he would make a huge profit, and that's why he's been collecting them.
As for the space rings, they were still useless to him since he couldn't open them, which was quite frustrating, but Jacob had a plan for solving this problem of his. But the solution can't be used right now, and it was a long shot, so he still has to bear with it.
Without hesitation, he removed his mask, revealing his peerless face, and started to eat those hearts one after another.
As he ate the three hearts, he felt his veins start to heat up, but not as much when he ate the fire wyvern heart. This feeling was quite vague and vanished by the time he finished eating his 32nd heart.
That feeling of heat was then replaced with the feeling of warmth as he ate more hearts. Not only was he recovering, but he was also slowly becoming stronger. He was too familiar with this feeling and couldn't have enough of it.
Just like that, two hours passed, and Jacob was still feeling lethargic but not as much as when he started eating those hearts.
"Sigh... this is becoming more and more absurd." He sighed in exasperation and was about to turn his focus on the skewered bodies, which should have been cooked by now, when his star watch vibrated.
He frowned as he opened the interface and saw it was a notification.
"Amiable Monk Fish sent 200,000 ZC to your Bank Account!
"New Balance: 277,738 ZC"
"Didn't I ask for 150k? Why did she send me 200k?" Jacob muttered with a hint of wariness. He wasn't a fool who would believe that Ellie sent him 50k ZC out of the kindness of her heart.
However, his focus was broken when the star watch vibrated again, and the interface changed on its own.
Jacob knew his interface could only be changed on its own when someone sent him an unignorable Call Request, and he was right!
