The gray slime crept up his legs, quickly engulfing his entire lower body.

Zhang Xiaoman was in the middle of an alchemy experiment, not expecting this poor guy to be so unlucky, getting entangled by the slime that splattered out of the pot.
"Lord Jixing, I am Riken Fox from the Iron Furnace Commerce. I accepted your invitation specifically to visit you. Please remove these things."
Fox spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoman apologized:
"Sorry, I just developed this thing and don't yet have the corresponding potion to neutralize it. Please wait while I think of a formula..."
