The God Virus

Nonetheless, having already confirmed the potential of the other person, nodding in satisfaction, he declared, "Alright, I guess you barely pass. I'll invest in you."

Next, he didn't hesitate to bring forth a legal piece of contract before placing it in front of Hu Yuexin. "You just need to sign here, here, and here. You can also study the terms first."

Nodding in return, Hu Yuexin took a quick glance at the various clauses and terms stated within the piece of paper. The most important term which had been typed very boldly was the fact that the interest rate was a whopping 50% for each month!

An exaggerated additional $250,000 for each month until she clears the entire debt!

Furthermore, it was clearly stated that if she fails to pay the owed money back, she will need to work for and serve their organization until her retirement, for the entire duration of thirty years, free of charge.

Other than that, there were also many other questionable terms in separate papers such as the one which stated in case she dies, the insurance money from her death and everything else she owns will completely belong to them. 

So it was also very unlikely that one would ever get to see the day of her retirement with her life intact.

Of course, none of these terms scared Hu Yuexin in the least, on the contrary, she felt amused at the ignorance of the other party. Thus, paying no further heed to any of the clauses in any of the pages, they shook hands as she signed every paper they needed to be signed.

Soon, a text was sent over to her phone, informing her of the successful transaction.

"I sincerely hope this investment profits us both." Putting on his most heartfelt tone, the mob leader said while displaying a very expectant smile. 

…

Exiting the loan shark's office, before anything else, Hu Yuexin's first decision was to go to the hospital and pay some percentage of the bill. Since she didn't know how long what she was about to do was going to take, she wanted to finish this matter first.

… 

Sometime later, while strolling through a wet market which sold any type of live animal one could think of, taking from chickens and pigs to wolves, Hu Yuexin wondered to herself jovially, 'I'm really lucky to be in this country. A country where you can buy nearly anything you want. Truly a heaven for a person like me.'

Subsequently, taking out the list she had prepared, her eyes fell on the first item, 'Wild Rabbit'.

There were even the names of various kinds of the monstrous beasts of the rifts mentioned within the list. Thankfully, she just needed their blood and luckily for her, their blood happened to be much less expensive and much more abundant in quantity and availability. So getting her hands on them was really trouble-free.

…

Returning to her messed up house after her successful round of shopping, now that she was in possession of every material she needed, she began killing the various animals. 

While sometimes she mixed the blood of some of them with one another, at other times, she ground those special herbs before blending them with the crushed meat of dead insects and animals.

For instance, she withdrew the blood of a particular type of snake before combining it with the venom of another type. Next, she again fused that with a kind of flower which she was quite confident was extremely similar to a demonic type of flower called Bellblex.

…

SEVERAL HOURS LATER

"Phew, the final materials are ready." She murmured while cleaning the droplets of sweat from her forehead.

Subsequently, picking up the brush she had also bought previously, in the middle of her house, she began the process of drawing strange symbols and formations utilizing the mixture of blood she had prepared.

After that, Hu Yuexin pushed the tub which was now filled with various herbs and blood of creatures right into the center-area of the painted symbols.

As she was finished with the necessary steps, staring at her own piece of work, a chuckle eventually formed on her lips as she started getting undressed and naked while pondering, 'Finally, I can make this body more suitable for me. Though there's still a long road ahead and there are lots of things I need to do in the future, it's a start.'

As she was totally naked now, taking a brief glimpse of her own mesmerizing body, closing her eyes, she entered the tub before sitting cross-legged within it.

For around a minute or two, nothing in particular seemed to be happening until, at last, the blood within the tub began to churn and swirl with her body at its center while the strange formation beneath the tub gradually started to shine brightly in red.

…

Nearly two weeks elapsed very quickly. In the meantime, Hu Yuexin continued sitting within the tub for the entire time… until now.

Anyway, as her eyelids fluttered open at this moment, a cold glint, sharper than ever, passed through her eyes as she stood up prominently.

The next course of action she took was to check the current state of the liquid inside the tub which had changed from its scarlet-red color to a sticky disgusting black. 

Apparently, all of the redness of blood had been absorbed into her body resulting in unknown changes and transformations within it. Not only that, but all of the accumulated filth within her body seemed to have been expelled as well, forcing the liquid that should've been nearly clean into the current dark and foul liquid.

Nevertheless, examining the condition of her own body next, Hu Yuexin discovered that the entire exterior of her physique had also been covered in an even darker, stickier, and more repugnant smell.

'Success! Now I just need to take a shower and relieve myself!' It was at this instant when the block of ice inside Hu Yuexin's eyes seemed to have temporarily melted a little as she acted somewhat cheerfully.
