Chapter 38: Improvements (1)

Four hours before, Decker's hideout was reported.

"Heh, it didn't blow up, after all. Let's reap the rewards!" Jacob mumbled in ecstasy as the wait was finally over.

He closed the book in his hand, calmly opened the pathway's door, and saw that his crude equipment was intact.

Without further delay, he quickly extinguished the fire, moved toward the collecting container, and opened the lid.

A cloud of light red smoke escaped the moment the lid was removed, and a potent smell attacked Jacob's nostrils, making him cough.

"Fuck, it better not be as bad as it smells..." Jacob mumbled with a noxious expression.

After the smoke cleared, Jacob finally saw the crystal red liquid on the bottom.

'It should be slightly more than 150ml,' Jacob mused as he looked toward the slightly lit outer door space.

"Probably no animal was attacked by the smell and smoke..."

Jacob closed the outer door; however, he had no idea a pair of brown beastly eyes scrutinized this entire scene. The only comforting thing was Jacob didn't go outside or pop up his head, so his identity as a human was still safe.

After closing the doors outside, he returned to the small room where only Pig Head could be seen in the green liquid cell while the other was empty now.

Jacob had already prepared for the injection process beforehand. He had already found a metal syringe which was exactly 100ml. Jacob couldn't ask for more.

However, piercing that eight-inch needle directly into his heart and then injecting the heart essence was a completely different matter.

If it was any other time or if he had a choice, Jacob would never play his life like this, but since he had already come to this point, there wasn't any need for hesitation anymore.

Jacob filled the warm heart essence in the metal syringe.

"Sigh... in front of this rising hunger, this little bit of suffering should not be a problem..."

Jacob took a deep breath as he lay down on the floor flat and took deep breaths as he held the metal syringe in his hand.

Thereupon, mad resolve filled Jacob's eyes as he clenched the metal syringe and instantly stabbed it meticulously between his ribs, directly into his heart!

Jacob's eyes opened wide as he grumbled with clenched teeth and endured!

However, something completely unexpected happened before Jacob could pump the Heart Essence. His heart rate suddenly increased to an abnormal level, and thereafter, the heart essence slowly simmered into his heart from the metal syringe on its own.

Jacob was flabbergasted momentarily, but the warm sensation simmering in his heart with pain quickly snapped out of his stupor.

"That cursed book didn't warn me about this at all..." vexed Jacob muttered through clenched teeth.

At this moment, Jacob felt the warm heart essence spreading through his whole body as his eyes suddenly turned bloodshot before a sudden electric shock ran down his whole body!

His body was too weak for such endeavors.

Jacob let loose a shrill scream before his eyes went upward, and he lost consciousness!

Two hours passed,

Jacob finally opened his eyes at this moment with a hint of pain on his face.

He sluggishly looked at his chest, saw the metal syringe was still on it, and instantly removed it with a painful groan.

"What happened? Did I fail? No, I won't be alive if it was the case... my hunger is completely... gone!"

Jacob noticed the astonishing change within himself and got up.

The first thing he noticed was his vision point had again gone more elevated, which meant his height had increased again, and this change was much more apparent.

He stood in front of the glass cell and saw his vague reflection, which alarmed him.

Before, Jacob's constitution was skinny. However, his body was now toned with ripped muscles as they were carved.

Furthermore, he was now 6.2 feet tall, and his skin was pale white with a slightly rosy sheen. His silver-white hair had also reached his hips and become more shining and silkier. His face was also covered with a long silver-white beard and mustache.

Jacob was completely gobsmacked by this tremendous change, and he felt it was all worth it. He had done anything and got an athletic body just by enduring pain.

Moreover, he could also feel a strong power within him and a thought surface in his head and the Bloodline Scanning Scale Device.

He quickly pressed his thumb on the needle, and a countdown appeared on the black screen.

Just like before, a message appeared on the screen.

"The blood analysis has been completed. Please press the button to check the result!"

Jacob pressed the first button without any hesitation.

"Specie: Human,

"Sex: Male,

"Age: 23,

"Strength: Rare Species,

"Bloodline: Unknown,

"(Note: Please Purchase a higher-grade device to discover about this bloodline and more information!)"

"My specie is still human, but my blood had turned unknown from fused? Furthermore, my strength is equivalent to the rare species now! I don't know how much that is, but it is far better than 'Too Weak' from before. I should test it out soon." Jacob mumbled with ecstasy and pressed the next button.

"Blood Analysis Report:

"Unknown Bloodline can't be masseur with the current device!

"(Note: Please Purchase a higher-grade device for more accurate blood analysis results and more information!)"

"Hmph..." Jacob scoffed and pressed the last button.

"Blood Lifespan:

"Unknown

"(Note: Please purchase a higher-grade device for more accurate blood lifespan results and more accurate information!)"

Jacob's eyes shimmered in astonishment. "My lifespan became unknown as well? It seemed that the cursed book didn't lie to me. As long as I follow its instructions, I will get a hundred years of youthful life!"

All the small doubts about cursed immortality completely vanished from Jacob's mind at this moment. He turned off the device and stored it again since it was still useful.

"I should probably go outside and measure my strength. But first, I have to get rid of this long hair..."

Jacob was now brimming with confidence and wanted to see how much improvement and benefits this first injection brought him, and it was also the time to look for an exit from these mountain ranges!
