Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears

Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Bountiful Harvest! 8,000 Rank 2 Mid-Stage Underlings

“This… this is too ridiculous…”

Zhou Ping was so shocked by Chu Sheng’s maneuver that he was left completely dumbfounded.

He had been so proud of his Insect Shepherd, thinking it was a groundbreaking, perfect creation. But in front of this mosquito, it was as laughable as a child’s toy.

’Now *that’s* true insect shepherding!’

’No, this is beyond shepherding insects. He’s toying with the entire swarm, holding it in the palm of his hand!’

’He used eight thousand spies to effortlessly turn over a million enemy troops, then lured them into the sky for a wave of self-detonations that sent them all to kingdom come!’

’The entire process was so smooth and efficient, with almost zero damage to the Spirit Medicines on the ground!’

’Could a mosquito really come up with a plan like that?’

’Is this creature’s Spiritual Wisdom really that high?’

Chu Sheng, meanwhile, was completely immersed in the thrill of being in total control.

’Lord Mosquito! Master of the swarm!’

He repeated his “entrapment” tactic again and again, luring massive swarms of Spirit-Devouring Worms high into the sky before detonating them!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The explosions in the sky were like celebratory cannons. Each blast signified the annihilation of over a million Spirit-Devouring Worms.

The dense, dark tide of insects was shrinking at a visible rate.

「A little over three hours later.」

As the last blackish-red mushroom cloud dissipated in the sky, the entire Spirit Medicine Base finally returned to its former tranquility.

The ravaged Spirit Herbs and Elixirs were still a miserable sight, but at least the plague of pests that had clung to them like a deep-seated disease was finally gone.

The insect plague had plagued Du Nan First Middle School for two whole years, stumping countless experts and even being deemed “unsolvable.”

And just like that… it was easily solved by a single mosquito in a matter of hours.

In the meeting room, everyone was numb with shock.

They had watched the miracle unfold before their very eyes, and even after the dust had settled, it still felt like a dream.

Chu Sheng, thoroughly satisfied, flew back to Gu Yuexi’s shoulder and began to take stock of his gains.

’This haul was insane!’

First, there were his minions in the Nether Flame Insect Nest.

He had kept the eight thousand strongest Spirit-Devouring Worms, all of them at the Second-Grade Middle Stage! Each one had a Qi Blood Value of over 1,000 points!

’Eight thousand self-destructing minions, all at the Second-Grade Middle Stage!’

The mere thought of it made Chu Sheng’s scalp tingle.

’If this force were to be fully unleashed, just how terrifying would it be?’

’I’d probably be invincible against anyone below the Fourth-Grade, right?’

Chu Sheng thought with glee.

’As for anyone at or above the Fourth-Grade?’

’He wasn’t so sure about that.’

He’d heard the Empress mention in her thoughts before that the First, Second, and Third-Grades all belonged to the Low Grade Realm, while the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth-Grades made up the Middle-Grade Realm.

There was a massive gulf between the Low Grade Realm and the Middle-Grade Realm.

The standard Qi Blood Value for the Peak of Third-Grade was 4,500 points.

But upon breaking through to the Fourth-Grade Early Stage, one’s Qi Blood Value would instantly shoot past 10,000!

This meant it wasn’t just a simple increase in Qi Blood; there had to be some kind of qualitative transformation involved.

Chu Sheng didn’t know the specifics of this transformation, so he couldn’t judge whether his army of eight thousand insects could take on Fourth-Grade Powerhouses.

’But who cares! This is more than enough for now!’

Aside from the insect army, his biggest gains were, of course, the two portions of King-level Essence Blood!

Plus the equivalent resources the school had promised!

For the time being, neither he nor the Empress would have to worry about Qi Blood Cultivation!

’The requirements for my next evolution are just a Qi Blood Value of 2,000 and 350 Evolution Points!’

’At this rate, I can easily meet the requirements in two days, tops!’

’What a score!’

While Chu Sheng was busy tallying up his gains, Chen Xiaozhang and the assembled experts finally recovered from their immense shock.

The way they looked at Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng had completely changed.

“Gu, words cannot express our gratitude!”

Chen Xiaozhang strode forward, clasped his hands in a formal salute to Gu Yuexi, and said solemnly, “You and your Contracted Beast have saved Du Nan First Middle School today! This is a debt we will never forget!”

“I will go and prepare the rest of the reward immediately. I guarantee it will all be delivered to you within the hour!”

After he finished speaking, he glanced tentatively at Chu Sheng and asked cautiously, “Gu, pardon my presumption… but are you acquiring these two portions of King-level Essence Blood mainly for… nurturing it?”

This was the question every expert in the room was most curious about.

The primary uses for King-level Essence Blood were actually for setting up arrays, Alchemy, or Artifact Refining.

King-level Essence Blood was a mandatory core material for many Emperor Tier Grand Arrays.

Previously, they had found Gu Yuexi’s request baffling. What use could a Low-Grade Beast Tamer possibly have for King-level Essence Blood?

But now… they had all seen with their own eyes how this mosquito took a single sip of King-level Essence Blood and immediately broke through to the next minor stage!

It was simply inconceivable!

After all, there were indeed special Demon Beasts in the world that could increase their strength by consuming blood, such as the Nether Blood Wings, a bat-type Demon Beast with a High-Level Bloodline.

However!

After feeding, they needed to spend a vast amount of time digesting and refining the blood. The process was fraught with risk; one small mistake and they could be blown apart by the rampaging Energy!

Let alone consuming King-level Essence Blood!

That was practically a death wish! The Energy and Power of Origin contained within King-level Essence Blood were enough to instantly destroy any Demon Beast below King-level!

And yet, this mosquito?

It took one sip, was perfectly fine, and even broke through to the next minor stage on the spot!

There wasn’t even a bottleneck!

What did that even imply?

Even for top-notch Beast Taming prodigies like Huo Mingxuan and Ye Xiaotao, whose Contracted Beasts possessed High-Level Five Stars Bloodlines!

Even when they poured all their efforts and a massive amount of resources into training, it would take their Contracted Beasts at least one or two months to advance from the Second-Grade Early Stage to the Second-Grade Middle Stage.

For students in the top classes, it would take half a year.

And this mosquito… only needed a single sip of blood.

The difference was greater than that between a man and a dog!

’If it were provided with a continuous supply of top-tier Essence Blood, wouldn’t it be able to soar all the way to its Bloodline’s upper limit without any bottlenecks?’

At this thought, everyone couldn’t help but sigh internally.

’What a pity…’

’It was, after all, just an insect-type Demon Beast.’

’Its Bloodline Level was High-Level at best, meaning its absolute limit was the Ninth Grade…’

Facing the regretful gazes of Chen Xiaozhang and the others, Gu Yuexi merely gave them a cool glance and said, “Mhm. When it first signed the Blood Covenant with me, it was just an ordinary White-striped Aedes Mosquito. It reached an Intermediate Five Stars Bloodline after its fourth evolution.”

“However, with these two portions of King-level Essence Blood, I imagine… it should be able to evolve a fifth time very soon.”

“???”

The meeting room once again fell deathly silent.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Chu Sheng, looking at him as if he were a prehistoric monster.

What… what in the world?

’Demon Beasts can only evolve three times at most! Isn’t that common knowledge in this world?’

’And she was saying this mosquito had already evolved four times and was about to undergo a fifth?’

’Could it be… that it can evolve infinitely?!’

Everyone was filled with utter disbelief, feeling that this was just too fucking absurd!

But on second thought… given how absurdly powerful this mosquito had already shown itself to be, maybe it wasn’t so impossible after all?

Zhou Ping, in particular, was completely stupefied.

He was a top-notch prodigy in the field of Demon Beast development and believed his understanding of the subject was at the highest level in the Federation.

But today, much of his expert knowledge and the commonly held beliefs about Demon Beasts had been utterly shattered by this one mosquito!

They finally understood why Director Zhang of the Provincial Education Bureau had personally escorted her, and why her file was classified as one of the Federation’s top secrets.

A powerful background? Special connections?

All of it was bullshit!

She didn’t need any of that!

She herself—or rather, her infinitely evolving mosquito—was the most top-tier “background” in the world!

Chen Xiaozhang’s breathing grew ragged as an unprecedented wave of ecstasy washed over him.

He knew that this time, his gamble had truly paid off!
