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

Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Late-Stage Grade 3 Slaughters Grade 4! A 40-Win Streak! The Geniuses Are Dumbfounded

Spirit Martial Eternity, Great Xia Headquarters, “Fourth-Grade Service Area” main control center.

At this moment, the place was in absolute chaos.

“What’s going on?! What happened to the Fourth-Grade Early Stage matchmaking server?!”

“Sir! Our official forums are getting flooded! It’s all complaints! They’re saying we maliciously deployed a game-breaking super BOSS!”

“I saw it! It’s that giant pink mushroom! What the hell is going on?! Who the fuck designed something so ridiculously overpowered?!”

The supervisor in charge of the entire service area, a middle-aged man with a receding hairline, was currently roaring at his technical staff, spittle flying everywhere.

“What the fuck are you all looking at me for?! Investigate! Investigate it now!”

“Where the hell did this thing come from?! Is it a test account from some department that wasn’t logged off?!”

The group of technicians was sweating bullets, their fingers flying across the virtual keyboards so fast they nearly sparked, but every one of them wore a look of bewilderment and innocence.

“Sir… we can’t find anything!” one technician said, on the verge of tears. “There’s no modeling data for a ’giant pink mushroom’ in our database at all!”

“We didn’t design it! And it’s not any test account!”

Hearing this, the supervisor’s eyes went wide. “We didn’t make it? Then what is it? Was the server hacked?! Did someone implant illegal data?!”

Just then.

BANG!

The door to the main control room was violently thrown open.

A young technician scrambled inside, a look on his face like he’d just seen a ghost, clutching a data report in his hand.

“Sir!! The Highest Technology Department… they’ve issued their investigation results!!”

The supervisor’s heart skipped a beat. He rushed forward and snatched the report. “What are the results?! Is it illegal data?! A hacker attack?!”

“N-No…”

The technician gasped for air, speaking in a tone of utter disbelief.

“The investigation shows… that mushroom’s data model has no anomalies… It’s… it’s a real player’s Contracted Beast!”

“The data source… is from… Sui Ming Province, Du Nan First Middle School!!!”

BOOM!

That sentence was like a bolt of lightning from the heavens, exploding in everyone’s mind!

In that instant, the entire noisy control room fell deathly silent.

You could hear a pin drop.

Everyone stood frozen in place as if they’d been hit by an Immobilization Technique, the expressions on their faces completely fixed, their eyes filled with absurdity and disbelief.

’Really?’

’That monster that can cross the entire Qi Blood Melting Furnace Realm to slaughter a Fourth-Grade Early Stage artist…’

’…actually exists?!’

’Huh?!’

…

「Meanwhile.」

Gu Yuexi had just finished her twenty-fifth match.

A flash of light, and the Third-Grade Middle Stage Martial Artist opposite her dissipated into motes of light with a look of unwillingness.

[Infinite Challenge Match 25! Victor—The Only Beast Taming Empress in Ancient and Modern Times!]

[Congratulations! You are on a 25-win streak!]

“Hooo…”

She let out a soft breath, a satisfied smile appearing on her stunning face.

A Third-Grade Middle Stage opponent was the limit of who she could be matched with at her current Second-Grade Middle Stage realm.

After twenty-some battles, she now had a clear estimate of her current combat strength—she could fight an ordinary Peak of Third-Grade, or even a Melting Furnace Realm First Transformation!

“Not bad.”

She commented with some satisfaction before exiting the matchmaking system.

The light and shadows shifted, and her figure reappeared in the game’s main plaza. Glancing around, she suddenly remembered her “managed” Contracted Beast.

The thought of that mosquito made the corners of her mouth lift into a playful smirk.

’I wonder how many times it’s been killed by now?’

Gu Yuexi remembered clearly that the last time, in the medicinal fields of Du Nan First Middle School, it had tamed eight thousand Second-Grade Early Stage Spirit-Devouring Worms.

As for what happened in the Secret Realm afterward… she hadn’t been with it, so she didn’t know if it had replaced its swarm.

But even if it had swapped all its underlings for Second-Grade Middle Stage, or even Second-Grade Late Stage… so what?

A swarm of eight thousand Second-Grade Late Stage worms might be able to put up a fight against a Melting Furnace Realm Third Transformation by relying on sheer numbers.

But the moment it was matched with a Fourth-Grade Early Stage Martial Artist, it would be absolutely slaughtered!

The Qi Blood Melting Furnace Realm was an uncrossable chasm!

If she remembered correctly, according to the game’s rules, a Third-Grade Late Stage player could at most be matched against a Fourth-Grade Early Stage opponent…

’It can only blame its bad luck.’

Gu Yuexi snorted inwardly. ’Who told it to create something like that just to disgust me? It deserves to get crushed!’

Feeling a sense of schadenfreude, she was just about to open the managed interface to check on the mosquito’s “miserable state.”

But she was distracted by the overwhelming roar of discussions around her.

“Did you hear? That ’Evil Giant Mushroom’ won again! That’s a forty-win streak!”

“Holy shit! For real?! Another Fourth-Grade Early Stage genius got crushed?!”

“Damn it, how are we supposed to play this game! The devs need to delete this BOSS now!”

“My friend got matched against it just now. He went in, saw the mushroom, and got so scared he just disconnected and force-quit! Now none of the Fourth-Grade Early Stage players dare to queue for a match! The entire bracket is paralyzed!”

“The official forums have exploded! Everyone’s cursing out the devs for cheating themselves and ruining the game’s balance!”

Listening to these discussions, the smile on Gu Yuexi’s face slowly froze.

’Evil… Giant Mushroom?’

’Defeated dozens of Fourth-Grade Early Stage players in a row?’

Her heart skipped a beat, and an utterly absurd thought uncontrollably surfaced in her mind.

’Could it be…?’

’No… no way, right?!’

She shook her head violently, trying to banish the ridiculous idea, but her body was far more honest, tapping open the managed function as fast as it could.

A separate interface popped up, clearly displaying the game status of her Contracted Beast.

[ID: Contracted Beast of The Only Beast Taming Empress in Ancient and Modern Times]

[Status: In a matched battle]

[Record: 40-win streak!]

“!!!”

Gu Yuexi was completely dumbfounded.

She stared blankly at the brilliant win streak, her mind went completely blank, her pretty face a mask of utter shock and disbelief.

’How… is that possible?!’

’A Third-Grade Late Stage… jumping a rank to slaughter a Fourth-Grade Early Stage?’

’And it slaughtered dozens of them in a row!’

’It even beat the players in the entire bracket into not daring to queue anymore?!’

’H-How on earth did it do that?!’

’There’s the entire Qi Blood Melting Furnace Realm in between!’

’That’s a leap in the level of life itself! It’s an absolutely uncrossable chasm!’

’This thing… what kind of monster is it?!’

Gu Yuexi felt like her entire understanding of the world had been completely shattered by this mosquito yet again!
