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

”First of all.”

”Let’s not even talk about the Three Kingdoms Grand Competition yet. This academy competition isn’t over.”

”I’m fine with skipping the award ceremony, but I led the Beast Taming Academy to first place. There have to be prizes, right?”

Chu Sheng used all six of his legs, typing at a furious pace!

At this, everyone turned to look at Chen Shouzheng, the president of Hong Kong University.

Seeing how highly the City Lord regarded Chu Sheng, Chen Shouzheng didn’t dare to be neglectful. Fortunately, he was already prepared and hurriedly said:

”Of course, of course.”

”I prepared the prizes long ago. There are 140 items in total. Each contestant from your Beast Taming Academy will receive seven of them.”

”I have already taken the liberty of selecting the seven Top-Notch prizes for Lord Divine Mosquito. I’ll have someone bring them in now.”

As soon as he finished speaking, several students walked in carrying the seven prizes. The one at the front was, surprisingly, Su Li.

When Su Li saw that Chu Sheng was unharmed, she breathed an inward sigh of relief and secretly gave him a wink.

She hadn’t done that in years...

But Chu Sheng didn’t even glance at her. His eyes were fixed on the seven prizes. Quite satisfied, he stored them away without a closer look.

Gu Yuexi had already told him about the Ancient Sunken Star Vein back in the Secret Realm.

The Ancient Sunken Star Vein was the final major objective of her trip to Hong Kong Island. There was something inside that was very important to her in her past life, and she needed to retrieve it.

’She had originally been wondering how to use a fake identity to snag a spot. Now, even though her fake identity is gone, the City Lord himself has come to invite us. What more is there to say? Of course, it’s time to...’

’Extort a hefty sum first!’

’No, that’s not right. It’s not extortion! It’s reasonably requesting some strategic supplies to prepare for the Three Kingdoms Grand Competition!’

Chu Sheng chuckled inwardly, rubbed his little legs together, and began typing furiously again:

”Lord City Lord, I hear that the participants are all the chosen geniuses of their nations, and even the White Eagle Empire is involved. That means this matter is indeed quite tricky.”

”My Master and I want to win, but our current realms are too low—only around the Fourth-Grade.”

”So...”

The City Lord looked at the words on the large screen, smiled, and said:

”But of course.”

”Since that’s the case, how about this.”

”You and Miss Gu may come to my City Lord’s Mansion once before the Three Kingdoms Grand Competition. I will allow each of you to select one item from the City Lord’s treasury. How does that sound?”

’The City Lord’s treasury?’

’My heart leaped with joy. Last time, I’d had a fantastic time absorbing everything in the Sui Ming provincial treasury. This time... Hong Kong Island’s treasury must be even bigger, with even more Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, right?’

’Looks like I’m in for another treat!’

He chuckled to himself and once again typed a few words on the tablet:

”Pick any one item, no upper limit?”

The City Lord nodded.

”No upper limit. As long as it’s in the City Lord’s Mansion treasury, you can take any single item.”

After the City Lord finished speaking, it wasn’t Chu Sheng who was shocked this time.

Instead, it was Chen Shouzheng and the nine Patriarchs present who were stunned!

’That’s the treasury of the City Lord’s Mansion! With treasures accumulated over so many years, what wouldn’t someone of the City Lord’s status possess? There might even be Celestial Extreme Magical Artifacts or Elixirs!’

’To be able to pick any one item... isn’t that hitting the jackpot?’

At that moment, even these Patriarchs of the Nine Great Families had a hint of envy in their eyes.

Seeing the City Lord being so straightforward, Chu Sheng was equally direct, typing out two words:

”Okay... deal!”

...

And just like that, Chu Sheng agreed to participate in the Three Kingdoms Grand Competition with Gu Yuexi in ten days.

As for the next ten days, he would naturally focus on continuing his cultivation and increasing his strength.

’Gu Yuexi has run off to who-knows-where to digest that Qi Blood Crystal, so I’ll leave her be for now. We should both go into seclusion for a few days!’

So, where would Chu Sheng choose for his seclusion?

The small underground chambers in the Simulation Ecological Zone, of course!
