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

Deep within the cave, in a vast cavern.

Chu Sheng floated in mid-air, tilting his mosquito-like head as he curiously sized up the massive, dreamlike hive before him.

To his Perception, this thing didn’t seem like an inanimate structure at all.

Instead, it was more like a giant, slowly breathing lifeform!

A vast Qi Blood Power seemed to flow slowly within the hive, like a surging river.

In addition to that,

there was also an immense Mental Power, like an invisible neural network, spreading to every corner of the hive.

Qi Blood and Mental Power were perfectly fused together in an incredibly profound way.

’This big fella... Is it a plant, or an animal? Or... a strange biological conglomerate, somewhere between a plant and an animal?’

’Ugh, who cares what it is!’

’It has Qi Blood Power and Mental Power!’

’Might as well take a taste!’

...

A glint of excitement flashed in Chu Sheng’s eyes as he landed on the hive’s glowing, crystalline wall.

Then, he whipped out his large proboscis—the God-devouring Needle—and jabbed it fiercely into the surface!

SHLUNK!

’Whoa, it actually went through!’

The hive’s crystalline wall felt incredibly strange. It wasn’t as hard as it looked; instead, it had a sticky, resilient texture, like jabbing into a block of ultra-dense bio-gel.

The moment his proboscis pierced the wall, Chu Sheng felt an immense surge of Energy rushing madly up it!

An instant later, a system notification boomed in his mind!

[Ding! High-concentration mixed Energy source detected. Analyzing...]

[Ding! Pure Qi Blood detected. Now absorbing!]

[Ding! Pure Mental Power detected. Now absorbing!]

’Holy shit! It actually works?!’

’And... it has both Qi Blood and Mental Power! It’s a two-for-one deal!’

Chu Sheng was ecstatic and immediately increased the suction power!

[Ding! Qi Blood +10,000! Current Total Qi Blood: 140,427! Estimated Digestion Time: 3 hours. Estimated Evolution Points upon completion: 1,000!]

[Ding! Mental Power +3,000! Current Total Mental Power: 151,998!]

In that one mouthful, the ratio of Qi Blood to Mental Power was ten to three.

But now a problem arose.

He’d just barely managed to digest the previous 9,527 points of Qi Blood, and now, after one big gulp, he was full again.

These days, the God-devouring Needle’s ”suction power” was so strong that a single drink could pull in the maximum amount of Qi Blood his constitution could handle: 10,000 points.

Once he hit the limit, he had to wait until digestion was complete before he could drink again.

In other words,

he would have to wait three hours just for another taste??

What’s more, while he could normally absorb Mental Power without any limit, the hive’s Mental Power and Qi Blood were a mixed Energy. If he couldn’t absorb the Qi Blood, he couldn’t get the Mental Power either.

At this thought, Chu Sheng immediately grew anxious.

’What kind of bullshit is this?!’

This was like discovering a massive treasure vault piled high with mountains of gold and silver and priceless artifacts, only to find you’ve only got a tiny, palm-sized pouch that can hold just a handful of gold coins at a time!

Who could possibly stand for that?!

’No, absolutely not! I have to find a way!’

’System, System! Get out here! Is there any way to speed up my digestion? Or just increase my absorption limit!’

Chu Sheng cried out frantically in his mind.

A moment later, the system’s emotionless, mechanical voice rang out.

[The host can increase digestion speed or absorption limit via the following three methods.]

[One: Improve Constitution. When the host’s internal Qi Blood Power reaches saturation, continuing to forcibly absorb will cause any excess Qi Blood Power to be passively converted into body-refining Energy. This will improve your constitution and increase your absorption limit. (Note: This method carries certain risks, and the improvement is not infinite.)]

[Two: Consume Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to aid digestion and increase digestion Speed. This principle can also be applied to increase evolution Speed.]

[Three: Expend Evolution Points to instantly convert undigested Qi Blood Power into pure Energy, achieving rapid digestion.]

’Huh?’

’I’ve encountered similar things to the first two points before, but the third one...’

’I can use Evolution Points for this?’

’What the hell, why didn’t you say so sooner!’

[Ding: The host has not previously inquired about this function.]

”...”

’What’s that supposed to mean? It’s my fault for not asking?’

Chu Sheng was momentarily speechless.

’On second thought, I guess that’s true.’

’Evolution Points have always been a sort of system currency, after all.’

Besides,

I’d never really run into a situation where there was more than I could possibly absorb, let alone one where I needed to absorb it all quickly.

’I’ve never had such a rich haul before!’

’Alright, enough getting sidetracked. Time to get down to business!’

’So, which of these three methods should I use?’

’Is that even a question?’

’I’ll use a three-pronged approach and maximize my efficiency!’

...

No sooner said than done!

First, Chu Sheng rummaged through his Lifebound Space and pulled out some of the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures he had previously collected, items that were of little use to him personally.

He would use these items to first digest the Qi Blood in his belly.

[Ding! Digestion complete! Acquired Evolution Points +1,000! Current Evolution Points: 40,973!]

As the system notification sounded, Chu Sheng felt the uncomfortable, bloated feeling in his body instantly vanish without a trace, replaced by a refreshing sense of emptiness.

’Sweet! My stomach is empty again!’

’Time to go again!’

He once again aimed his proboscis at the hive’s crystalline wall, a greedy light flickering in his eyes, and began a second round of frenzied absorption!

Soon, that familiar feeling of fullness returned.

[Ding! Qi Blood +10,000! Absorption limit for current constitution has been reached...]

’Here we go!’

Chu Sheng’s eyes narrowed. Instead of stopping, he gritted his teeth and cranked the suction to the max!

’Suck! Drink it all down!’

BOOM—!!!

A violent torrent of Qi Blood Energy, far exceeding his body’s limits, burst into him like a flash flood from a broken dam!

In that instant, Chu Sheng felt his body was like a balloon being frantically pumped full of air, on the verge of popping!

”Ho...ly... shit!”

Agony!

An indescribable agony erupted from the very depths of every cell in his body!

He felt his blood vessels snapping, his muscles shredding, and even his bones groaning under the unbearable strain!

It felt as if a constantly expanding sun had been stuffed inside his body, ready to go ”POP!” at any moment and explode into a brilliant firework of flesh and blood!

’This is unbearable! So dangerous!’

Just as Chu Sheng felt he was about to break, a system notification that sounded as sweet as an angel’s choir finally rang out in his mind!

[Ding! Host’s constitution has been improved! One-time Qi Blood absorption limit increased from 10,000 to 12,000!]

GASP... GASP...

The instant the notification sounded, Chu Sheng could no longer hold on. He fell from the hive’s crystalline wall in a state of total collapse, his six legs sprawled limply on the ground.

After a long while, he finally felt like he had come back to life.

’Damn, that was intense!’

’I almost actually popped!’

It wasn’t the first time his excess Qi Blood had been converted to increase his constitution’s limit, but it had always been a passive process, and never with such a large amount at once.

This was the first time he had ever actively and forcibly pushed his body’s limits all at once.

It was like dancing on a knife’s edge—a pure adrenaline rush!

Even so, it had only increased his absorption limit by 2,000 points.

’That’s a little low.’

’Still, progress is progress.’

’If it’s a small increase, I’ll just have to do it a few more times.’

His one-time absorption limit had increased by a full 2,000 points! That meant on his next drink, he could absorb 12,000 points of Qi Blood!

At this moment,

the 10,000 points of Qi Blood Chu Sheng had just absorbed with his second drink were still undigested in his body.

So, without a moment’s hesitation, he initiated the third option!

’System, use my Evolution Points for rapid digestion!’
