Reborn As An Interstellar Giant Mosquito

Chapter 877: Chapter 31: Top Ten Strong Ones! [Subscribe Please]_3

”The Stellar Level being said, ’Every local Starry Sky Level Expert is a precious resource. Their lives should not be wasted here on the Chaos Stones.’ After that, the Stellar Level being laid down the rules concerning the Chaos Stones, such that even the top ten Strong Ones would not be able to intervene, otherwise, they would be going against the will of this powerful existence!”

”Is that Stellar Level Expert still stationed here?” Jia Yan asked, somewhat uncertain and amazed.

It should be known that in that trader’s words, it was only said ’Every local Starry Sky Level Expert is a precious resource.’ It was clear that the Orion Arm, which was 108,000 miles away from this Starry Sky, was not included, meaning that in the eyes of the other party, Jia Yan was no longer considered a resource.

If that being was still here, Jia Yan would not hesitate to flee as far as possible, no questions asked. No matter what it was about the Chaos Stone or another transformation, in the presence of a Stellar Level being, Jia Yan would definitely run as far as he could!

Fortunately, seeing Jia Yan’s fear, the trader smiled and said, ”How could that be possible? How could such a great existence linger in our desolate place? He merely made a brief stop here before vanishing without a trace. And after those battles, the remaining Strong Ones elected the top ten as the tentative supreme Rulers here. Don’t look at how chaotic this region appears now, with battles breaking out all the time, but in fact, all these battles are under control. If they exceed certain limits, the top ten Strong Ones will surely intervene and resolve the issue.”

”So, are you saying that the Chaos Stones are the concession they made to the other Strong Ones?” Jia Yan continued to ask curiously.

”That was not their decision to make, but rather the one made by that great Stellar Level existence. According to the rules set by the Stellar Level Expert, every once in a while, it becomes time to collect the Chaos Stones. At that time, they will release a portion of the quotas, and powers other than those of the top ten Strong Ones will be able to compete for them. However, each quota only allows for the collection of a limited amount, just like the settlement of the Bitter Flying Group I used to be part of, where they had a quota for only ten Chaos Stones.”

”Quotas...”

Jia Yan began to ponder.

He had heard some good news.

He did not truly rely solely on rapid-evolving Chaos Stones to transform, but at least this was an excellent opportunity to get close to them. Once he got close, there would always be a way to get more. Surely that was better than not having any way to approach them at all?

After all, Jia Yan knew that the area where the Chaos Stones were found was tightly secured - three layers in and three layers out. Almost the entire interstellar substance that produced Chaos Stones was enveloped in stringent defense.

Afterward, Jia Yan continued to inquire about the collection quotas and about the Strong Ones in this part of the Starry Sky.

Days passed, and in one relatively bustling settlement, a silent spacecraft arrived.

However, this spacecraft did not linger for long. Shortly after landing, it departed again.

The being inside the spacecraft did not even disembark; instead, after leaving behind a diminutive trader, it took off.

Only the wealthy, diminutive trader, watching the departing spacecraft, bowed deeply...

...

In the profound Universe, there was hardly any sign of life here, just endless darkness.

”What that trader told me was extremely useful. At least I’ve learned a lot more about this area!” said Jia Yan, with a faint glimmer in his Compound Eyes.

He sat in the pilot’s seat of the spacecraft, still pondering something.

The consultation with the diminutive trader over the past few days had given him a much deeper understanding of some affairs in this Starry Sky.

Of course, all this understanding was for one goal - to obtain the ’Chaos Stones’ he needed for his impending transformation!

After thorough research, Jia Yan knew that these so-called Chaos Stones could potentially trigger another mutation in him!

And to get close to them, apart from a direct assault, the only way was to obtain one of those ’collection quotas.’

”A direct assault is simply not possible. The Strong Ones here are all unbeatable to me. Even Master Xingrong from Tianlong Star, who is merely a superior player here, doesn’t come close to the tail of the top ten Strong Ones. I have no confidence in defeating Master Xingrong now, let alone the top ten!”

Jia Yan knew that if he attempted an attack, it would just be a death wish.

With this path closed, the only alternative was to get a collection quota!

Otherwise, Jia Yan had no idea how he could get anywhere near the Chaos Stone Mining Area.

”However, even getting a collection quota is not going to be easy. After all, I have no forces of my own in this Starry Sky, nor any acquaintances. The collection is due to start in two months. What am I going to do?”

”Right, I can do it this way!”

Suddenly, Jia Yan’s Compound Eyes lit up.

Time hurried on.

The entire Desolate Starry Sky’s ’Chaos Stone Collection’ event, recurring every few years, was akin to a huge festival, and there was nothing in this Starry Sky that drew more attention than the gathering itself.

The edge of the Desolate Star System even felt the event’s impact, with numerous holidays surrounding the gathering. Among these, the most popular was the live broadcast of battles between the Strong Ones.

This gathering, where the powers that owned the collection quotas were all formidable, but they could not withstand the multitude of powerful forces in this Starry Sky. Some forces, even if they were not strong here, might possess considerable Power in a nearby region, like the Northern Star Domain. Therefore, their roles could not be ignored, and even the top ten Strong Ones had to treat them cautiously.

As such, those powerful forces possessing quotas could not let their guard down, because at the moment the gathering commenced, there was another hurdle awaiting them.

That was the ’Collection Quota Challenge’!
