Reborn As An Interstellar Giant Mosquito

Chapter 401: Chapter 33: Acquiring the Nutrient Solution! [Requesting for official subscription]_1

A threat level even higher than black holes and stellar explosions? Upon hearing this, Jia Yan was almost dumbfounded. He knew that these civilizations viewed the Star Sky Beast as a threat, but he hadn’t expected them to take it so seriously. By that logic, it was likewise a given that they would be deeply concerned about the Evolutionary Creatures, given their close ties with the Star Sky Beast!

After all, these were beings that could potentially evolve into the Star Sky Beast!

Even in Jia Yan’s view, if these civilizations did not provoke him, and he truly managed to reach the level of the Evolutionary Creatures one day, he wouldn’t do anything to them. Nevertheless, the strength of the Star Sky Beast in itself was considered a sin. Even if no one attacked it, how could these civilizations possibly allow such an existence to emerge!?

So the harsh suppression of the Evolutionary Creatures was indeed a fairly normal occurrence!

However, knowing something and being on the receiving end of it are two different things. When he himself became the Evolutionary Creature, it would not be a case of understanding the other’s feelings and willingly offering his own neck for them to kill!

Jia Yan wasn’t the type to just sit back and wait for others to kill him.

Nighttime arrived swiftly.

This day was indeed long.

The daytime and night hours on this planet each lasted for several Earth days. After enduring the equivalent of a full week on Earth in just a day here, Big Mosquito, who had never experienced such a long daylight period, was finally able to stretch his body in the large tent!

Jia Yan was still lying on the ground. The large tent, although sizeable, didn’t offer him much comfort. It simply provided a shelter from the wind and rain.

The ground was covered with the food and energy sources commonly used by the Battle Pets, provided by the local masters, the intelligent beings with the charcoal-like texture.

This was the primary reason Big Mosquito came to this city!

Within the ripples of that space, Jia Yan lost most of his energy in one breath. At this point, not only was recovery out of the question, but there were also some minor injuries eroding his body!

That was why Jia Yan had been constantly on the run, instead of confronting difficulties head-on like he used to!

He was actually extremely weak.

”This so-called nutrient solution seems to have a bit of an effect. But it’s still far from what I need. Perhaps those premium ones would be somewhat effective.”

Finally, after reluctantly resisting his nausea and ingesting various so-called energy sources, as well as the food consumption methods of some Battle Pets that also consumed a liquid diet, Jia Yan made his assessment!

Among these, there was a type of blood, though he didn’t know from what creature it came. Jia Yan consumed some and felt a bit of effect, but it wasn’t significant. At this point, what interested him more, was the so-called ’nutrient solution’!

This nutrient solution had a grayish-yellow color overall, and was a very popular commodity among these Battle Pets, even within these interstellar civilizations.

Although every species had different combination methods for using this substance, its general effect and principle were similar, just like glucose water invented by humans on Earth, it was a conventional method for energy replenishment and body enhancement!

The nutrient solution also came in different grades!

What was presented to Jia Yan this time was not anything high-grade, but instead the nutrient solution routinely used in this ’Beast-Battling Breeding Farm’. However, it did have some effect on Jia Yan!

”Previously, Daphne told me that this type of nutrient solution is a common item and that it contains some minerals. I guess it’s these minerals that are having an effect!?”

Jia Yan came to an easy realization that his ongoing mutations had something to do with minerals and magical materials. Consequently, he understood that the minerals contained in the so-called nutrient solution were the ones affecting him!

”Good, I’ll soon have Daphne to negotiate with Gutan for more nutrient solutions, and one with higher mineral content! He cannot refrain from paying in return for expecting me to enter battles for him...”

Gutan, that life form wise as a lump of charcoal, was said to be a creature of an advanced civilization, thirty light years away. He was in this war-torn city for his personal interests and livings. His Beast-Battling Breeding Farm didn’t just deliver a lot of battle pets but also participated in some beast-battling gambling events. The day after tomorrow was a registered battle day for his three-headed monster.

However, the power of the enemy was just too immense; after all, it was a monster about to be recruited for war. But it was bought by now-owner because it was not smart enough and thus became a battle pet.

This carbon-like life-form knew there was no chance to emerge victorious. However, the upcoming battle was crucial for the reputation of this nameless breeding farm, and he already had a huge bet placed on his battle pet without knowing who his opponent was. Losing this fight would be a massive blow to his breeding farm!

Just the previous day, he met Jia Yan.

Being a professional pet-breeder, he realised at the first glance that Jia Yan’s flying monster was different from other strong pets with its unique, potent aura.

Although he was unsure about how powerful Big Mosquito was, he noted that all lives in the square before the administration building were stunned into stillness by his appearance. It was clear how formidable Big Mosquito was!

Although a battle pet’s power cannot be judged merely by its appearance, Big Mosquito’s form does reveal how strong he is. Back then, Daphne was poorly dressed, and Jia Yan himself seemed a bit shabby. Gutan, sharp as a piece of coal, noticed their distress and therefore sent an invitation.

The purpose was to have Jia Yan help him get through the next beast-battling event.

Jia Yan and Daphne, desperate to familiarise themselves with the city, immediately agreed and formed a close partnership.

The only thing is, neither Jia Yan nor Daphne demonstrated any interest or concern about the so-called ’beast-battling event.’ After listening to Daphne’s description and considering what he had seen of such battle pets, Jia Yan knew the so-called battle pets were nothing more than a joke to him.

They were too weak! Some individual pets, possibly military combat life forms obtained by their owners through special means, might be scattered around, but Jia Yan didn’t think these scattered life forms would be too powerful.

So after hearing out the situation, he thought about how he could maximise his benefits from Gutan.

”Good, now it’s time to put these to use. Even though they barely replenish the energy I am lacking, it’s better than nothing!”

Jia Yan slowly consumed the handpicked nutrient solutions. He was not worried about getting poisoned; after all, he had never experienced it since his rebirth, or perhaps each of his mutations was a unique kind of poisoning, considering that the recombination of life forms was far stronger than any toxin!

And he would naturally react to genuinely harmful substances.

Therefore, he didn’t hesitate to consume these materials!

It was indeed unique in taste and left a lingering flavor for Jia Yan. Unfortunately, the energy these so-called nutrient solutions could provide was too little!

Days passed in this manner. A single day here was akin to several days on Earth. During this time, Jia Yan slept and studied Auster language with Daphne when he was awake. He also forced Gutan to buy more nutrient solutions for him.

During this period, the day of the ’Beast-Battling Event’ drew closer and closer.

By pressuring Gutan in that time, Jia Yan managed to get him to buy nutrient solutions worth a third of the gambling money for this battle...

Owing to those nutrient solutions, Gutan placed even greater importance on this fight. Losings would mean he’d have to auction off everything, although he seemed to always be shirtless, wearing only cheap underpants.
