Evil Immortal!

"Could it be that this thing has developed a sliver of consciousness?"

A suspicion began to form in his mind.

Thinking this way, Meng Yuan's expression shifted between light and dark.

He was aware that in his previous life, there were actually some examples of conjoined twins, such as the American conjoined twins with two separate brains and hearts, but many of their organs were shared.

This is because the fertilized egg did not completely separate during division, but continued to develop, so the two sisters grew up together, but had independent thoughts.

But his situation was completely different.

What Meng Yuan was certain of was that this deformed sarcoma was initially only the size of a fingertip, like a mole, and was inconspicuous.

It was only with the passage of time that it slowly grew up and became what it is today.

To put it bluntly, the malformed sarcoma was originally part of his body, but due to contamination, it underwent some kind of demonic transformation and mutation, becoming bizarre and distorted.

Over time, they will likely turn the tables, taking over his nutrients and even control of his body!

The dream I just had could very well be something that will happen in the future.

"The moonlight is getting brighter and brighter..."

Meng Yuan looked up at the moonlight outside and felt that the room was brightly lit.

He immediately shook his head slightly, pulled out a rag, and wrapped it tightly around the deformed tumor, trying to avoid seeing it and getting annoyed. He knew in his heart that the bright moon in the sky was not the source of pollution in the [Evil Immortal] world; to be precise, it was only a part of the source.

Even if he covered his entire body to block out the moonlight, the deformed sarcoma would continue to worsen.

The room next door, where my sister lives, is always quiet, as if it were empty.

Meng Yuan didn't think much of it. During the day, the mutated sarcoma had devoured a lot of his vital energy and blood, leaving him feeling tired and weak. He soon fell into a deep sleep.

......

The next morning, Meng Yuan arrived at the banks of the Yinliu River early.

After clocking in, he went straight to a room and found the team leader, Huang Qing.

At this moment, Huang Qing was sitting in a large chair, holding a braised pork leg, gnawing on it with his mouth full of oil.

His body was covered in layers of fat, like a mountain of flesh, which looked particularly striking!

"Oh, it's Meng Yuan. Did you need something?"

Glancing at Meng Yuan, Huang Qing casually placed the pig's leg aside, wiped his greasy, chubby hand on his clothes, scratched the folds of fat on his belly with his other hand, and brought it to his nose to take a sniff. The tangy smell made his nose twitch, and his expression showed a hint of intoxication.

Meng Yuan's lips twitched a few times. Although he hadn't tasted meat in a long time and was unconsciously swallowing his saliva because of the rich aroma, he had no thoughts when he saw this eye-watering scene.

He placed ten taels of silver in front of Huang Qing: "Boss, here are ten taels of silver. Please pass on the 'Black Pig Gluttony Technique' to me."

Huang Qing glanced at the silver, clearly surprised. He looked Meng Yuan up and down suspiciously and asked, "You're so poor you can't even afford to eat, where did you get so much silver?"

Meng Yuan naturally did not hide anything and told him the truth.

"What the heck! You're saying you mortgaged your ancestral home?"

Huang Qing was stunned when he heard this, and then gave a thumbs up as thick as a carrot. "Good, you're ruthless! Back then, your father was so poor that he was almost starving to death, but he didn't dare to even think about the ancestral home. But you, you managed to mortgage the ancestral home for a mere fifty taels of silver."

"You really are a case of 'selling your father's land without a second thought.' If your dad knew, he'd probably crawl out of his coffin and strangle you!"

"My old man has been burned to ashes, so he probably can't crawl out, but we can lift him out."

Meng Yuan smiled slightly: "But once I have mastered my skills, I believe he will be very pleased in the afterlife and will not blame me."

"Have you thought about what to do if you can't redeem the house?" Huang Qing's expression turned strange upon hearing this.

Meng Yuan smiled and said, "Boss, I haven't considered that."

Huang Qing's gaze sharpened, and he understood Meng Yuan's meaning. He was clearly prepared to gamble everything, to succeed or die trying.

Thus, he couldn't help but think more highly of him; at least this kid was decisive and acted on his words, a ruthless person. He then tossed a book to Meng Yuan:

"Fine, you've got the guts to gamble away your ancestral home, how can I stop you? Here, take it. You should know the rules: don't tell anyone, and remember to return it to me before you finish work."

He paused, then added, "If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me."

"Thanks, boss."

Meng Yuan received the book as if it were a treasure, and then quickly flipped through it.

[The inferior martial art "Black Pig Gluttony Technique" has been detected. Do you wish to learn it?]

"agree!"

Meng Yuan readily agreed.

The next moment, a surge of information flooded into his mind.

All of it was the content of "Black Pig's Gluttony Technique," and it was all engraved in his mind from beginning to end, word for word, and he could not forget it.

The so-called black boar is actually a type of wild boar with stiff black hair all over its body and a body as strong as an ox; it is also a kind of monster boar!

As we all know, pigs are often gluttonous, are omnivorous, eat anything, have strong digestion, good appetite, and grow quickly. The "Black Pig Gluttony Skill" was created by observing the habits and characteristics of black pigs.

This martial arts technique doesn't have many mysterious effects, but it can make people have an enormous appetite, be able to eat and sleep well, and increase their digestion and absorption capacity by more than ten times. As a result, they will naturally become physically strong, have abundant blood and energy, and gradually develop supernatural abilities.

Just by looking at Huang Qing, whose body was like a mountain of flesh and whose face was full of scars, you could tell that such a person possessed immense strength with every move he made. Ordinary people would be injured if they were brushed against him, and would die if they were touched. Even a dozen of them would not be a match for him.

Simply put, to master this skill, one must develop a huge stomach, even bigger than Ryoko's.

[System notification: You have learned the "Black Pig Gluttony Technique"!]

......

[Black Pig's Gluttony Skill Level 1 (0/200)]

......

"Black Pig Gluttony Technique" is a low-level martial art, divided into four levels. The first three levels correspond to the minor, major, and major perfection levels of a martial arts master. Reaching the fourth level is just enough to advance to the innate martial arts master level.

If you want to advance further, you will need to find more advanced martial arts techniques (martial arts job change skill books).

This skill is not considered profound; in fact, it can be described as simple and easy to understand, and relatively easy to learn, precisely so that it would be easier for river patrol workers like Meng Yuan to cultivate it.

However, no matter how simple this martial art is, it is still a path to transcendence and has its own threshold.

As far as Meng Yuan knew, there were quite a few people in the river patrol teams throughout history who could scrape together ten taels of silver.

Very few people could actually master the "Black Pig Gluttony Technique," Huang Qing was one, and the deputy captain was another.

Why?

Because cultivating this skill requires a certain level of comprehension and talent, and secondly, it requires a sufficient supply of resources; in other words, it requires eating well and being well-fed.

Comprehension and talent are innate, but living in this corrupt world, people with excellent aptitude and talent are rare. Instead, the majority are mediocre and have poor aptitude.

As for eating well and being full, it actually means unlimited fruits, vegetables, and grains, and you have to eat as much meat as you can, like crazy.

Only in this way can one utilize the large stomach developed through the "Black Pig Gluttony Technique" to absorb nutrients and strengthen one's physique and blood.

However, in today's world, ordinary people are lucky if they can fill their stomachs with a cornbread or a flatbread every day, let alone risk their lives to eat meat? Of course not!

However, these are not problems for Meng Yuan, because he has a cheat code.
