Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears - Chapter 287: The Military and Education Departments’ Reward Has Been Delivered: Void Stone
Chapter 287: Chapter 287: The Military and Education Departments’ Reward Has Been Delivered: Void Stone
Jing University, the Vice-Principal’s office.
The office was located on the top floor of Jing University’s administration building, boasting an expansive view that overlooked more than half of the vibrant, Spiritual Qi-rich campus.
Vice-Principal Sun Deming was looking down, reviewing a budget proposal for the exploration of a “Demigod-level Secret Realm,” his brow slightly furrowed.
The resources involved in this budget were simply too vast. Even with Jing University’s profound foundation, it was a matter that required extreme caution.
Just then, without any warning, the space within the office distorted slightly.
Sun Deming’s head shot up, his gaze instantly as sharp as an eagle’s!
As a veteran King Realm expert, the fact that he hadn’t immediately detected the visitor’s presence meant their strength was far superior to his own.
In the next instant, a figure materialized in the center of the office.
The visitor wore a Zhongshan suit, his posture ramrod straight, his features seemingly ordinary.
But merely by standing there, he emanated a profound and heavy aura, like a tranquil abyss or a towering mountain, causing the very air in the office to stagnate.
Sun Deming’s pupils contracted. He immediately shot up from his seat, an expression of utmost reverence on his face.
He recognized the visitor. Or rather, there was no one in the upper echelons of the Great Xia Education Realm who didn’t.
The Deputy Director of the Department of Education, a top-tier expert at the Peak of the Emperor Realm, Li Daoyi!
“Director Li!”
Sun Deming hurried forward and bowed in greeting.
Li Daoyi simply gave a slight nod in response.
His gaze swept around the office before he got straight to the point.
“Principal Sun, a new student of yours, one Gu Yuexi, should have checked in, correct?”
Sun Deming was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.
“Yes, Director Li. Gu Yuexi, a new student in the Beast Taming Academy’s S-Class, just completed her enrollment procedures two days ago.”
Just today, this same Gu Yuexi had caused quite a stir during a combat drill, clashing with Su Yingxue, the “Future Empress” of the Spiritual Mind Master Academy. The matter was still being hotly debated on the campus forums.
Sun Deming naturally knew far more than the average student about Gu Yuexi’s exploits on Hong Kong Island and considered her a rare, top-tier prodigy.
But…
’Why would the esteemed Deputy Director of the Department of Education come looking for him so late at night?’
’How could Gu Yuexi be connected to a major figure that even he had to look up to?’
After listening, Li Daoyi didn’t say much, just nodded.
With a flip of his palm, two Storage Rings floated above it.
“These are for Gu Yuexi. I have to leave immediately, so I’ll have to trouble you to personally make a trip and deliver them to her.”
Li Daoyi’s tone was calm, yet it carried an undeniable air of command.
“It’s no trouble, no trouble at all!”
Sun Deming hurried forward and carefully accepted the two rings.
His gaze fell upon one of the rings, and his heart skipped a beat.
The ring was a dark gold color, its surface branded with the image of a lifelike golden lion roaring at the sky. Next to it was the character for “Military,” written in an ancient seal script!
’This is… a standard-issue Spatial Ring exclusive to the Military Department!’
A bead of cold sweat broke out on Sun Deming’s forehead.
He had seen this insignia on the hand of a high-ranking Military Department official before. It wasn’t just an identifier, it was a warning!
It signified that the contents within were a top secret of the Military Department. For anyone who tampered with it, regardless of their identity or status, there was only one outcome—death!
’This Gu Yuexi… what on earth did she do?’
’Not only did she have the Deputy Director of the Department of Education deliver something for her, but the delivery itself is related to the Military Department!’
’Judging by this special Spatial Ring, the items inside are clearly extraordinary!’
“Just see to it that it’s done. I have other matters to attend to.”
Li Daoyi seemed to notice Sun Deming’s shock but had no intention of explaining. His trip was simply to act as a courier. Confirming Gu Yuexi had safely enrolled was enough to complete his mission.
Before his words had even faded, his figure vanished as suddenly as it had appeared, as if he had never set foot there at all.
Sun Deming was left alone in the office, holding the two heavy rings, standing frozen in place, unable to calm his racing heart for a long time.
…
「Meanwhile, inside Gu Yuexi’s dorm room.」
Sun Deming personally delivered the two rings. His attitude was amiable and kind, and his words were full of care and encouragement for the younger generation.
However, he didn’t mention a single word about the rings’ origin. After a few pleasantries, he quickly departed.
“BZZT? (Who’s this old geezer? He’s smiling so hard his face is all puckered up!)”
Chu Sheng, perched on the desk, muttered as he watched the vice-principal’s retreating back.
Gu Yuexi looked at the rings and said calmly,
“It should be the reward Li Zhantian and Li Daoyi promised you.”
Oh?
A jolt of excitement went through Chu Sheng, and he dumped everything out of the rings all at once.
There were four items in total. Each one radiated astonishing energy fluctuations, causing the Spiritual Qi in the entire dorm room to become thick and viscous.
Even Gu Yuexi’s eyes showed a hint of surprise upon seeing these four items.
“Heh, it seems the Military Department and the Department of Education weren’t too stingy this time.”
The four items were:
A drop of Emperor Level Demon Beast Essence Blood!
A Celestial Tier, Lower-Grade Mental Power Elixir.
An Earth-tier, Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact.
And finally, a peculiar, palm-sized Crystal Stone. It was silvery-white and constantly twisted and shifted, as if it didn’t belong to this space!
At first, Chu Sheng’s attention was immediately drawn to the drop of Emperor Level Demon Beast Essence Blood!
Emperor Level Demon Beast Essence Blood! Just the name alone sounded incredibly nourishing!
Paired with his upgraded God-devouring Needle, who knew how much Qi Blood he could absorb!
But soon, his attention was captured by the last item, the peculiar Crystal Stone!
The Crystal Stone looked a bit like the Star Source Crystal Core from the Sunken Star Mountain Range. Wisps of Spatial Power surged across its surface, emanating from it like breaths!
’A Space System Heavenly and Earthly Treasure!’
Chu Sheng got a little excited and buzzed:
“BZZT (What is this?)”
Gu Yuexi observed it for a moment.
“This should be a piece of Void Stone. Similar to a Star Source Crystal Core, it contains a type of Spatial Realm!”
“However, unlike a Star Source Crystal Core, the Realm Power within a Star Source Crystal Core is naturally formed from the world’s Origin. A Void Stone, on the other hand, can only store Realm Power.”
’Something as profound and mysterious as Realm Power can be stored?’
Chu Sheng was slightly astonished!
“The Spatial Realm Power contained within this Void Stone was likely infused by someone who has comprehended the Power of Space Origin.”
“Only those who have comprehended a Power of Origin can do such a thing.”
“The Military Department must have realized that you’ve comprehended a Spatial Realm, which is why they prepared this specific reward for you.”
“That’s why I said they were being thoughtful. Otherwise, the other few items… they’re just so-so.”
Gu Yuexi said nonchalantly.
’I recall some figures from my past life. In all of Great Xia, there were no more than two people who had comprehended the Power of Space Origin. And both of them could be considered my “acquaintances,” heh. Back then, because I hadn’t comprehended a Spatial Realm, even I was powerless against one of them. But in this life, I have this damn mosquito. This Empress would like to see if he can still run wild!’
