Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Digestion Complete, Mental Power Breaks Through to Fifth-Grade
Lei Xiaotian was deeply moved. He also stepped forward and gave a standard military salute, his expression solemn.
“Lei Xiaotian of the Military Department! Thank you, Lord Divine Mosquito, for saving Great Xia from this crisis!”
“Li Daoyi of the Education Department! Thank you, Lord Divine Mosquito, for saving Great Xia from this crisis and for saving the millions of Great Xia’s people!”
Li Daoyi’s voice, filled with reverence, also rang out.
Finally, it was Qi Chongshan’s turn.
The Governor of Sui Ming Province looked at the people around him, who had just been pulled back from the brink of hell. He gazed at the mosquito before him, the one who had performed a miracle, and could no longer suppress his emotions.
His eyes instantly moistened. He slowly stepped forward and bowed deeply to Chu Sheng, his upper body almost parallel to the ground.
“Qi Chongshan, Governor of Sui Ming Province… Thank you, Divine Mosquito, for saving Sui Ming Province… for saving millions of lives…”
His voice choked with emotion, filled with endless gratitude.
And just as his voice faded!
More voices, louder, converging into a torrent of sound, erupted from all directions!
“Thank you, Lord Divine Mosquito!”
“Thank you, Lord Divine Mosquito!”
The deafening sound washed over them.
Surrounding the ruins of the razed Ancient Mansion, a dense crowd had formed. The millions of people who had just returned to normal—men and women, young and old—all spontaneously turned toward the center, toward that tiny mosquito, and bowed as one, deeply.
Millions of people bowing in unison!
The scene was silent, yet more heart-shaking than any words could ever be.
Even the ever-cool Gu Yuexi felt a stir in her heart upon seeing this.
’This is my Contracted Beast!’
At this moment, the Reborn Empress felt a sincere pride in her Contracted Beast!
…
At that very moment, Chu Sheng, the object of everyone’s attention, just twitched his mouthparts.
’So dizzy…’
’These people… so noisy…’
Because of the large, pure mass of High-Level Energy in his Sea of Consciousness, Chu Sheng was not only extremely weak but also felt dazed.
The feeling was just like… being “drunk on oxygen.”
He lay listlessly on Gu Yuexi’s shoulder and buzzed weakly a couple of times.
BUZZ… (’If apologies were enough… what would be the point of money!’)
BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ… (’Cut the empty formalities and give your Lord Mosquito a real reward!’)
Li Zhantian and the others couldn’t understand Chu Sheng’s buzzing.
Gu Yuexi understood the gist of it. She cleared her throat and “translated” for him:
“Li Zhantian, and the rest of you, is that it?”
“Where’s the credit? Where are the rewards?”
“As far as I know, what my Contracted Beast did today is more than enough to earn a first-class military merit, isn’t it?”
Hearing this, Li Zhantian and the others were taken aback.
He immediately said:
“Of course.”
“I, Li Zhantian, will personally report to the highest level of the Military Department and, in the Military Department’s name, apply for one… no, two top-tier, strategic-level rewards for Lord Divine Mosquito!”
Li Daoyi also spoke up:
“I will also apply to the Department Head for two top-tier rewards as well!”
“However…”
Li Daoyi paused, exchanged a look with Li Zhantian, and continued:
“Because of the gravity of this incident, involving the descent of an Alien Race’s Evil God, and to avoid causing unnecessary panic, everything that happened today will be classified as top secret and cannot be publicized.”
Li Zhantian nodded as well.
“That’s right. This is also a form of protection for you. Otherwise, if the Alien Race learns of your existence and abilities, I’m afraid they would stop at nothing to assassinate you.”
Hearing this, Chu Sheng finally nodded in satisfaction.
BUZZ… (’That’s more like it!’)
Then, he could no longer fight the intense fatigue and dizziness. He collapsed onto Gu Yuexi’s shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.
…
「Three days later.」
The Great Xia Capital—Capital City.
The magnificent city walls, like a slumbering dragon, guarded this ancient yet modern city that had carried the fate of Great Xia for centuries.
Countless arcane Array runes were inscribed upon the walls, shimmering under the sunlight and emitting heart-pounding fluctuations of Energy.
A figure flickered and appeared outside the massive gates of the Capital City.
It was Gu Yuexi!
After the incident with the Alien Race’s Evil God, Gu Yuexi had rested for two days. Now, acceptance letter in hand, she had finally come to Capital City University to register.
…And what about Chu Sheng?
At this moment, Chu Sheng was in his Primitive Form, resting on top of Gu Yuexi’s head.
For the past three days, due to being “drunk on oxygen,” Chu Sheng had been sleeping on and off.
When he wasn’t asleep, he was working hard to absorb the massive ball of Energy in his Consciousness Space.
「Meanwhile, in his Consciousness Space.」
Chu Sheng was absorbing for dear life.
His consciousness-body also had a proboscis and could use the God-devouring Needle, just like in the outside world!
[Ding! Mental Power +3000, Evolution Points +3000]
[Ding! Mental Power +3000, Evolution Points +3000]
A single sip yielded 3,000 Mental Power and 3,000 Evolution Points. Chu Sheng couldn’t be happier as he drank his fill!
Finally, as Chu Sheng continued to absorb, the massive ball of Energy slowly shrank.
It went from the size of several dozen basketballs to its current fist-sized form.
As the ball of Energy diminished, Chu Sheng’s groggy consciousness began to awaken.
’One last sip!’
Looking at the ball of Energy before him, Chu Sheng stabbed his proboscis in one more time.
[Ding! Mental Power +3000, Evolution Points +3000]
[Ding! Your Mental Power has successfully broken through to the Fifth-Grade Early Stage. Current Mental Power: 148,000!]
[Current Evolution Points—66,020]
That’s right!
This time, Chu Sheng had absorbed a total of over sixty thousand Mental Power and Evolution Points from the ball of Energy.
His Evolution Points, which had dwindled to just over a thousand, suddenly soared to over sixty-six thousand!
And his Mental Power, originally at the Peak of Fourth-Grade, instantly broke through to 148,000 points at the Fifth-Grade Early Stage—a value that now even surpassed his Qi Blood Value!
[Current Mental Power: 148,000 (Fifth-Grade Early Stage). Note: Reaching Sixth-Grade Mental Power requires 300,000.]
[Current Qi Blood Value: 110,900 (Fifth-Grade Early Stage). Note: Reaching Sixth-Grade Qi Blood requires 300,000.]
’Awesome!’
’This wasn’t a loss—it was an absolute win!’
Chu Sheng immediately opened his attribute panel.
[Host: Chu Sheng]
[Race: Silent Extinction Divine Mosquito]
[Lifespan: Five hundred years]
[Bloodline: King-level (Five Stars)]
[Qi Blood: 110,900 (Fifth-Grade Early Stage)]
[Mental Power: 148,000 (Fifth-Grade Early Stage)]
[Evolution Points: 66,020]
[Note: The next full evolution requires reaching 300,000 Qi Blood Value (Sixth-Grade Early Stage), 300,000 Mental Power (Sixth-Grade Early Stage), and consuming one hundred thousand Evolution Points. Additionally, at least five types of Realms must reach the Great Perfection Realm.]
The requirements for the next full evolution had finally appeared!
The most obvious change this time was that the Mental Power requirement was now just as high as the Qi Blood Value! Previously, the requirement for Mental Power had always been lower.
’A full three hundred thousand Mental Power… I’m still almost halfway there.’
’And the Evolution Points requirement is a full one hundred thousand—ten times more than last time!’
’Normally, Mental Power and Evolution Points are harder to obtain than Qi Blood, but it doesn’t matter!’
’Now that I know about a super-tonic like the Alien Race, worst case, I’ll just go to an Alien Race warzone and suck them dry!’
