Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears - Chapter 243 - 239: Silent Annihilation Battle Armor, an Enhanced Version of the Empress Battle Armor?
Chapter 243: Chapter 239: Silent Annihilation Battle Armor, an Enhanced Version of the Empress Battle Armor?
[DING!]
[Host has equipped Battle Armor [Silent Annihilation Battle Armor]. Analyzing its functions…]
’Huh?’
Chu Sheng was taken aback. ’This Battle Armor actually triggered a system scan?’
This was a first.
However, the Cultivation Techniques he had learned before could also be upgraded using Evolution Points. This meant the system already had the ability to interact with non-system Cultivation Techniques or equipment.
’Silent Annihilation Battle Armor?’
’Is that the name of this nameless Battle Armor?’
[Analysis complete. The Battle Armor’s main function is: Combat Power Amplification]
[It has three settings: 2nd Gear (2x amplification), 5th Gear (5x amplification), and 10th Gear (10x amplification)]
[Each gear has a different consumption rate. Host, please experience it for yourself.]
’Combat power amplification?’
’Ten times?’
’This is so badass!’
Compared to the New Roach Battle Treasure he’d built himself, this Battle Armor was the real deal!
Chu Sheng was secretly thrilled. ’Let’s try 2nd Gear first!’
A surge of power far exceeding his own instantly flooded his body, as if every cell was leaping for joy! The sensation of his strength skyrocketing felt so good he almost buzzed with excitement!
’If twice the power feels this good, what about five times, or ten?’
Just as Chu Sheng was about to try them out, a voice that seemed to come from a great distance suddenly echoed repeatedly between heaven and earth:
“The Secret Realm is about to close. All contestants, return immediately.”
“The Secret Realm is about to close. All contestants, return immediately.”
“…”
The voice repeated itself many times, like an echo in a valley.
’Is this… the sound transmission announcement that the Secret Realm is closing?’
According to the rules, when observers outside the Secret Realm noticed that the Wormhole at the entrance to the Ancient Sunken Star Vein was about to close, a “Messenger” agreed upon by all three parties would be sent temporarily into the Secret Realm to release a powerful Sound Transmission Talisman.
This Sound Transmission Talisman would reverberate throughout the Secret Realm as if it were being refracted.
Its purpose was to inform every contestant inside the Secret Realm that time was almost up.
When this Sound Transmission Talisman sounded, it meant that the Secret Realm would be closing in less than an hour.
Chu Sheng was stunned when he heard the voice. ’What’s going on? It’s only been about two hours, hasn’t it?’
’Looks like something unexpected happened!’
’No, I can’t waste any more time. There are still so many Star Source Crystal Cores outside waiting for me to collect! That’s the good stuff that can skyrocket my Realm Comprehension.’
Thinking this, he immediately retracted the Battle Armor.
With a thought, the jet-black armor covering his body receded like a tide and vanished.
Just as Chu Sheng was about to leave, he noticed the last remaining suit of Battle Armor in the palace.
’This one… it should be similar to Gu Yuexi’s, right?’
’Forget it, there’s no time. I’ll leave this one here for now. I can grab it later if I get the chance.’
’The Silent Annihilation Battle Armor I’m wearing is clearly stronger, so it’s more than enough for me. Right now, the Star Source Crystal Cores are definitely more important!’
After a moment’s hesitation, Chu Sheng flew out of the palace.
“Time to get to work!”
Nether Vision, activate!
Instantly, the Star Source Crystal Cores in the vicinity appeared in Chu Sheng’s Perception. His figure flashed and vanished from the spot.
Beside the palace entrance.
Not long after Chu Sheng left, a tall but furtive figure appeared and snuck into the palace.
…
「Outside the Secret Realm, three minutes earlier.」
Another cry of surprise rang out from someone in the crowd:
“Look!”
“The Wormhole at the Secret Realm’s entrance is changing again!”
Everyone looked over, thinking someone else had come out.
But that wasn’t it. This time, it wasn’t a normal spatial fluctuation. Instead… the entrance Wormhole was closing?!
The entrance Wormhole, which resembled an eye, was now beginning to show signs of “closing its eyelid.”
“The Secret Realm is closing?”
“How can that be? It’s only been a little over two hours. That’s normally just half the time.”
Now, all three factions were stunned!
However, while such an anomaly was rare, it was not unheard of.
Seeing this, the leaders of the Philippines and Yue Country immediately flew over to Ye Qingzhou.
“The Secret Realm is closing. From the looks of it, there are only a few dozen minutes left. We need to send in the Messenger.”
Ye Qingzhou nodded upon hearing this.
The role of Messenger rotated among the Three Kingdoms each year, and this time, it was Yue Country’s turn.
A man from Yue Country stepped forward and prepared for inspection.
Ye Qingzhou’s Mental Power swept over him. After confirming he was only carrying a single Sound Transmission Talisman and nothing else, he nodded.
Watching the Messenger enter the Secret Realm, everyone’s mood grew even more tense.
This meant…
The final results of the Three Kingdoms Grand Competition were about to be revealed!
…
「Inside the Secret Realm.」
At the Secret Realm Exit, the eye-shaped Wormhole was closing more and more.
Time was running out.
In a certain valley, Chu Sheng’s figure materialized out of thin air, his mosquito leg landing precisely on a red Crystal Core that was emitting scorching-hot fluctuations.
Before the Crystal Core’s resistant flames could even flare up, he pacified them with his corresponding Fire Realm and smoothly stored it in his Lifebound Space.
Immediately after, he used Instant Teleportation again, appearing in an area filled with spatial rifts and effortlessly retrieving a black Crystal Core.
And so, Chu Sheng’s figure moved like a ghost through the Ancient Sunken Star Vein, flashing every few dozen seconds. Each flash meant another Star Source Crystal Core had been pocketed.
He was like an efficient harvester, frantically sweeping up the resources marked on his map.
Part of the reason Star Source Crystal Cores were so scarce in the Ancient Sunken Star Vein was because they were hard to find. But that couldn’t stop Chu Sheng, who was basically using a map hack. He knew exactly where every single one of them was.
Not only did he have a map hack, but he could also use Instant Teleportation, saving him even the travel time!
With that kind of efficiency, how could he not be fast?!
「Elsewhere.」
Gu Yuexi, relying on her powerful sensitivity to Realms, was also collecting Crystal Cores at a decent pace… though it was still far too slow compared to Chu Sheng.
Soon, the second sound transmission echoed.
Then the third!
After the final transmission, the Messenger had used up all three of his Sound Transmission Talismans, and he had to exit the Secret Realm.
At the same time, this also meant…
There were only about ten minutes left before the Secret Realm closed!
Somewhere in the Secret Realm, Gu Yuexi frowned slightly after collecting a Crystal Core.
“That damned mosquito, he can’t still be scratching at that Barrier, can he?”
The words had barely left her lips when Chu Sheng appeared beside her:
“BZZZ (What’d you say?)”
Seeing Chu Sheng appear, Gu Yuexi let out a sigh of relief.
“Good, you finally knew when to give up.”
“Alright, it’s about time to leave. The Secret Realm is ending early, so I didn’t collect as many Crystal Cores as I expected.”
“Still, it should be enough to win against the other two countries.”
Hearing this, Chu Sheng buzzed twice:
“BZZ BZZ (Don’t worry, you head to the exit first.)”
“BZZ BZZ BZZ (I’m going to grab a few more. I’ll catch up before the Secret Realm closes!)”
With that, Chu Sheng’s figure vanished once again.
He had just sensed two more Star Source Crystal Cores, one 2,000 meters away and another 5,000 meters away… There was still time. This kind of good stuff was rare to begin with, so every single one he could grab was a win!
