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

As soon as he spoke, every school leader was aghast, stunned by Chen Xiaozhang’s bold speculation.

’It seems... he actually has a point?’

If she had truly earned the Federation’s utmost attention based on her own potential or that of her Contracted Beast... then that was a terrifying thought!

”But... this mosquito’s Bloodline is High-Level at best, isn’t it?”

The vice-principal remained skeptical. ”Even with such a special ability, its future potential is limited. At most, it might reach King-level combat strength. That’s hardly enough for the Federation to attach so much importance to it, is it?”

”Its limit?”

Chen Xiaozhang retorted, ”What makes you so certain you’ve seen its limit? Are we to assume that what we’ve witnessed is the full extent of its abilities? What if it’s just the tip of the iceberg?”

The others fell silent. ’He really does have a point.’

”So... I want to take a gamble!”

Chen Xiaozhang’s gaze sharpened as he came to a decision. ”If we lose this gamble, we’ll be out two of our school’s most precious treasures. But we’ll have saved the Spirit Medicine Base, so our gains and losses will cancel each other out.”

”But if we win?”

”We would have used two portions of King-level Essence Blood to get on the good side of a supreme existence whose future achievements are destined to be immeasurable! What would that mean for the future of Du Nan First Middle School? Have you even considered it?!”

The school leaders exchanged glances. They had to admit that while Chen Xiaozhang’s analysis was bold, it was also perfectly logical.

’If they won... the payoff would be astronomical!’

「A short while later.」

When Principal Chen approached Gu Yuexi again, his expression was exceptionally grave and sincere.

”Gu, we agree to your terms.”

”I’ll go retrieve a portion of the Mountain-Shaking Demon Ape’s Essence Blood right now to serve as a down payment.”

”After you’ve dealt with the Spirit-Devouring Worms, we will provide the other portion—the Deep Sea Profound Turtle’s Essence Blood—along with a treasure of equivalent value, as the final payment.”

A trace of surprise flashed through Gu Yuexi’s cold eyes.

’She hadn’t expected Principal Chen to be so decisive. Not only had he agreed to her terms, but he was also offering a portion of King-level Essence Blood as a down payment?’

’A clever man...’

She gave a slight nod, agreeing to the proposal.

’Not bad. I like this guy!’ Chu Sheng praised inwardly. ’As expected of a principal. His vision and decisiveness are on another level!’

Principal Chen said no more. He nodded to the other school leaders and hurried out of the meeting room, clearly on his way to the school’s vault to retrieve their priceless treasure.

Seeing this, Chu Sheng decided not to wait around either. ’The deal is done. Time to upgrade my Skills!’

’The current control limit of one thousand minions definitely won’t cut it!’

Chu Sheng immediately opened his system panel.

[Evolution Points: 123]

’This is my entire stash... Let’s just go for it!’

The moment the thought crossed his mind, a series of system notifications rang out—

[Ding! 20 Evolution Points consumed! ’Nether Flame Insect Nest’ has been upgraded to lv6! Insect storage capacity increased to 2,000!]

[Ding! 30 Evolution Points consumed! ’Nether Flame Insect Nest’ has been upgraded to lv7! Insect storage capacity increased to 4,000!]

[Ding! 50 Evolution Points consumed! ’Nether Flame Insect Nest’ has been upgraded to lv8! Insect storage capacity increased to 8,000!]

[Remaining Evolution Points: 23! Insufficient points to upgrade this Skill further!]

’Eight thousand... That’s enough.’

Chu Sheng confidently nodded and closed the system panel.

Compared to the swarm of hundreds of millions, eight thousand was still a paltry number.

But he had a plan.

’It’s as they say: make up for a lack of numbers with superior control!’

He had plenty of ways to make those eight thousand as effective as ten, or even a hundred times their number!

Meanwhile, Zhou Zheng, Master Wang, and the others still regarded Chu Sheng with skepticism, adopting a wait-and-see attitude.

The mosquito’s previously demonstrated ability was certainly bizarre, but the idea that it could completely solve the insect plague still seemed far-fetched.

After all, using that ability clearly consumed Mental Power. Its Spiritual Realm was only at the Second-Grade Early Stage, meaning at most it could probably only control a few tens of thousands of Spirit-Devouring Worms.

Faced with a swarm numbering in the hundreds of millions, that was hardly enough to make a difference...

’Wasn’t Principal Chen a bit too rash, offering a portion of King-level Essence Blood as a down payment?’

Everyone was lost in their own thoughts. After more than ten minutes of silence, the meeting room door was pushed open again, and Principal Chen returned.

He cradled a box in his hands. It was crafted from Thousand-Year Cold Jade and inscribed with countless arcane runes. Wisps of frigid air radiated from it, clearly meant to preserve its contents.

Even through the Jade Box, everyone in the room could feel a profound, ancient, and terrifying aura, as if it hailed from a primordial age.

”Gu, this is the complete set of the Mountain-Shaking Demon Ape’s Essence Blood... for the down payment!”

Principal Chen gravely handed the jade box to Gu Yuexi. The pain in his voice was almost palpable as he said through gritted teeth, ”I hope you and your Contracted Beast will not disappoint us!”

Gu Yuexi took the Thousand-Year Cold Jade Box. It was ice-cold in her hands, and the profound, ancient, terrifying aura became even more distinct.

She could clearly sense that the box contained the real deal: authentic King-level Essence Blood!

’Success!’

A flicker of joy went through Gu Yuexi’s heart. This was the first time since her rebirth that she had come into contact with a King-level treasure.

’With these two portions of King-level Essence Blood, the mosquito and I probably won’t have to worry about Qi Blood Cultivation Resources until we reach the Fourth-Grade!’

Of course...

’...provided this damned mosquito was actually reliable.’

’I’ve already done all the posturing for it. If it drops the ball now, we’ll be a complete laughingstock.’

Gu Yuexi subtly glanced at Chu Sheng on her shoulder, her eyes conveying a clear message: ’It’s all on you now. Don’t screw this up!’

However, Chu Sheng’s attention was now completely captivated by the Jade Box.

’Holy shit! King-level Essence Blood!’

’This aura, these Energy fluctuations... they’re countless times stronger than the blood from that Three-headed Red Flame Lion!’

’Who gives a damn about anything else?’

’Screw it! I’m getting a taste first!’

Chu Sheng flew right off Gu Yuexi’s shoulder and landed on the Jade Box. Without a moment’s hesitation, he plunged his ferocious proboscis into the crack in the lid!

SSSLURP—!

An immense and pure wave of Energy, far more potent than anything he had ever absorbed before, flooded into his body like a bursting dam!

[Ding! King-level (Three Stars) Bloodline detected—Mountain-Shaking Demon Ape (Adult)! Beginning absorption...]

[Warning! Warning! Blood Energy concentration is too high! Exceeds host’s physical tolerance! A portion of the absorbed Energy will be automatically used to repair the host’s body!]

[Ding! Host has absorbed 528 Qi Blood Points! Current Total Qi Blood: 1167!]

[Ding! Host’s Qi Blood Realm has advanced to the Second-Grade Middle Stage!]

[Estimated digestion time: 10 hours. Estimated Evolution Points to be gained: 105!]

BOOM!

As the system notifications rang out, the aura emanating from Chu Sheng’s body surged dramatically!

His Qi Blood fluctuations, which had been at the Second-Grade Early Stage, shattered their bottleneck in a single second, stabilizing firmly at the Second-Grade Middle Stage!

’Holy hell!’

’Over five hundred Qi Blood Points in a single sip?!’

Chu Sheng was utterly floored! The quality was simply outrageous!

’And that was without even fully absorbing it! Some of the Energy was used by the system to repair his body!’

’This is so damn powerful!’

’If I drink this entire portion of Essence Blood, won’t I just shoot straight to the Fourth-Grade?!’
