Reborn As An Interstellar Giant Mosquito

This just goes to show that without your own power or small circle, there will be some issues.

”Uh, so what I said about this group of fellow travelers earlier wasn’t quite right. Hmm... in the future, I should try to get along with them better. My relationship with them previously wasn’t too bad, and I even used to chat with some of them frequently. I should be able to salvage it.”

After thinking for a long time, the strand of thought that Jia Yan separated out reflected on his mistakes.

Unlike others, separating avatars affects their true body’s situation. Because of repeatedly mastering numerous avatars for battle or complex actions, Jia Yan has almost reached an advanced stage of control over his thoughts.

Therefore, this strand of thought won’t be affected by his cultivation, and conversely, it won’t affect his cultivation either.

After some time, Jia Yan strangely stopped his cultivation under the observation of many strong ones.

He got up and ran out beyond the planet.

”Oh, I wondered why all the strong ones have good planets. Turns out there are some creatures helping to build structures.”

Jia Yan was a bit surprised. Every strong one’s planet within this energy circle has rather perfect structures, with many styles being extremely beautiful. It must be quite enjoyable to cultivate here. He initially thought it was because they had lived a long time and had built houses.

He didn’t build one himself because he didn’t want to make a fool of himself.

But now on seeing it, it’s not that these strong ones have such abilities. Instead, there’s a dedicated ’construction team’ in this energy circle.

The members of this construction team are almost all stellar-level and above, with astonishing power, and they must have extensive experience in construction. They utilize their brainwave power and can quickly complete the renovation of a desolate star.

Jia Yan could only curse himself; if he had known, he would have checked it out more instead of foolishly cultivating alone on such a desolate star and letting others watch for fun.

”Hey, come over here and help renovate my planet too.”

Jia Yan called over a stellar-level being that was busy at work.

”Oh, sure, Lord Jia Yan. Our charge for a standard renovation of a planet is fifty thousand standard energy, one hundred and fifty thousand for a deluxe one, and of course, we also have the options for two hundred thousand and three hundred thousand. Which one would you like?”

The stellar-level creature didn’t seem very afraid of Jia Yan.

Upon hearing this, Jia Yan almost popped his mosquito eyes out in astonishment.

”Charge? Fifty thousand... three hundred thousand? This is standard energy, and you...”

Jia Yan wanted to yell, asking why they wouldn’t just rob instead, but seeing the confused stellar-level one and the distant gazes of several Star River level existences seemingly watching him, he quickly stopped.

Well, it makes sense. Renovating a planet not only considers material costs, but the stellar-level construction members shouldn’t have to overexert their brainwave power for free.

Calculated this way, paying fifty thousand for construction is practically at giveaway prices. Jia Yan even suspected that the Insect Queen might be subsidizing these stellar-level beings.

”Alright, I’ll... I’ll go with the one hundred fifty-thousand renovation, deluxe style.”

Jia Yan gritted his teeth, initially wanting just the fifty-thousand one. But considering that he’s a middle level existence in the Star River, and even in the Insect Queen’s power, he dares to challenge the black sheep, just renovating for fifty thousand would be a bit humiliating. So, he reluctantly opted for the one hundred fifty-thousand deluxe renovation.

”Alright, Lord Jia Yan, once we finish renovating this planet, we’ll come help you with your renovation.”

The stellar-level existence nodded and then flew back to the planet they were currently renovating to continue their work.

On the whole planet, over twenty stellar-level beings were busy using their brainwave power to move things around. Although not very powerful, by using certain technological items along with their own power, they caused dust and debris to fly, periodically triggering volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and tsunamis across the planet.

”This planet even has a sea. Damn it, my planet is just rocks upon rocks. Don’t know how they’ll make it look.”

Jia Yan looked at others’ planets which had seas, and because renovation had reached a certain level, he could see large, beautiful beaches and other features. The renovators even positioned the planet in the energy circle so it’s aligned with a pseudo-stellar core, leading to an interplay of day and night on the waves, which was truly stunning.

When Jia Yan turned back to look at his own desolate star, which he chose for its size but ended up being all dull black rocks, he felt a strong urge to cry.

Seeing it this way, cultivating made him lose all enthusiasm...

Unwilling to look any longer, he left to communicate with others outside.

In fact, one hundred fifty-thousand standard energy is a large sum for Jia Yan. In the interstellar space, it’s not like on Earth where money buys goods, or where gold and diamonds rule. Money and gold don’t hold much significance in the interstellar domain. Even diamonds are abundant on many gas giants or uniquely environmental planets, making them practically useless.

It’s the material of energy that plays a crucial role for any strong ones or civilization powers. Thus, it becomes the benchmark substance for pricing.
