Chapter 4 Attack of the Aquatic Chafer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Please Add to Collection]_1 “I absolutely cannot become an ordinary male mosquito!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I’m just going to live for twenty days, what’s the point of getting another chance at life!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yan still firmly believes in his initial vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The biggest difference between male and female mosquitoes is that the females have a habit of storing nutrients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their source of nutrition is the fresh blood of animals!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this habit annoys most animals, humans, the rulers of Earth, have even labeled mosquitoes as pests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the fact that they make the dominant species of Earth apprehensive is proof of the success of female mosquitoes in the path of evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from their blood-sucking habit which scares everyone, they also live much longer compared to male mosquitoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some can even survive the winter and live longer than a year!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why can males with the same genes only live for less than a month?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Jia Yan firmly believes that as long as he also learns to store nutrients, he would certainly live longer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During his larva stage, this was greyish white organic matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the mosquito stage comes, he would learn to suck blood, even research on human-made nutritional substances, to see if they are effective on his body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything he does is for survival!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Living an extra day is a day earned!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Living an extra hour is an hour earned!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surviving!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is Jia Yan’s other strong desire, besides seeking revenge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let me become stronger quickly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash!” Jia Yan controls his small body, crazily crashing into the pebble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That tingling feeling is coming again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keep crashing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I want this newly exoskeleton to be strong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash!!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yan’s tenacity rises from within, not caring that the old skin on his head is peeling off and that his newly-sprouted skin is tender, he continues to hit against the surface of the pebble with abandon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At some point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Crack!’ It seems like Jia Yan heard a faint tearing sound from his hearing organ made of fluff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body felt light, as it completely separated from the old skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His second molt was thereby completed like this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great, this time training was more potent, the new exoskeleton is hard already on arrival!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling his body’s toughness, Jia Yan is delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he does not stop training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, he bounces his body and crashes head-on into the pebble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The newly born exoskeleton has the highest possibility of growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I want it to be tougher by the time it fully solidifies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yan seems to have entirely turned on his ruthless switch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without madness, there ain’t no magic!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you want to defy fate, you must go crazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without madness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without being ruthless to oneself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing can change!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He totally disregards the pain transmitted from the new skin to the brain, he just keeps hitting the pebble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This pain is more than twice the usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yan even feels a bit of blood oozing out from the surface of the exoskeleton, but it quickly dissolves into the dirty water and becomes unclear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bleeding in insects is a rare occurrence, as their blood is stored in the deep circulatory organ and wouldn’t usually seep out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, this dire warning from Jia Yan’s larval body is serious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yan pauses slightly, but within his cold compound eyes, there is still a sense of defiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won’t die so easily, this bit of training won’t kill me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahh!!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continues to crash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The larva, after undergoing two molts, continues to grow at an astonishing pace in the small crevice formed by the pebbles!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time quickly passed again, five days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third round of molting that should have come earlier, did not come after a long wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this is even better, at least Jia Yan thinks it’s a good thing, the more different he is from ordinary larvae, the more it proves that his self-training method is on track.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As night passed and the daylight arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dark-bodied larva slowly swam out from the nest made of two pebbles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body is huge, the size is at least half a circle larger than a regular larva.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are many signs on his exoskeleton, some areas are even damaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these skins have a toughness that other larva skins do not possess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yan controlled this stout larval body, suddenly bouncing in the sewage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His speed was already considerable — in the blink of an eye, he had traversed several centimeters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t underestimate this distance of just a few centimeters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the size of a larva, it was as if a human had covered a hundred meters in less than ten seconds, utterly astounding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yan’s current swimming style differed significantly from the instinctual vertical movements of other larvae.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, he was no longer like an ordinary larva.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My body began to itch yesterday, but the skin shows no sign of shedding yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems my training was extremely rigorous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yan felt his body, which had undergone two molts, bloating slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third molt that should have taken place yesterday hadn’t happened until now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yan had a high rate of speed, his swimming style was already beyond what a normal larva could achieve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the normal larvae that mostly swam vertically, Jia Yan was not only quicker, but he could also move horizontally without slowing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were easily accomplished with just a slight shift in posture, at least for Jia Yan, who possessed the wisdom of a human, it was certainly no challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bouncing method he had been practicing since birth made his abdominal strength extremely impressive, which was the primary reason for his high speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The third molt should happen today, I guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once this molt is over, I will only need one more molt to turn into a mosquito.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before that, I must prepare to store more nutrients!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yan swam towards the grey organic matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the safety of the past few days had caused him to forget that there was a terrifying predator lurking near his ‘home’!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An sudden explosion in the water!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A silhouette much larger than any larva erupted from the mud with such speed that it was impossible to react in time, shooting towards Jia Yan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aquatic chafer was incredibly fast when hunting, so fast that a normal larva would not have been able to react at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that didn’t include Jia Yan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yan was taken aback, but quickly contracted his belly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ejected himself, narrowly escaping the double hooks of the aquatic chafer’s mouth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sturdy double hooks hit Jia Yan’s abdomen but did not cause any damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aquatic chafer seemed taken aback, surprised that its prey had evaded its attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It quickly repositioned to launch another attack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before that, though, Jia Yan had already used all his abdominal strength to contract his body and fled the area!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Terrifying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I almost got eaten!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yan was gripped by immense fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not at all pleasant to face a gigantic predator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to a chafer’s body, larvae were too small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yan knew that no matter how much he trained, he could never battle it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was careless this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next time, I must be extra cautious!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yan looked back and saw that the aquatic chafer was not discouraged by its failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it resubmerged, returning to its position beneath the surface with a calm and collected demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It submerged its body near the muddy bottom, patiently waiting for the next prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yan avoided that area and began to swallow some gray organic matter nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite a near-death experience, he couldn’t become a retractable turtle and hide away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, his efforts over the past days would have been wasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Jia Yan was about ninety percent full, he suddenly felt an extreme itchiness in his body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm… It’s time for the molt!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The itchiness was a sign that molting was about to start!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing this, Jia Yan hurriedly increased his speed, cautiously bypassing the aquatic chafer and returning to his own nest made of crevices between pebbles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the crevice, he saw that the surface of the pebbles inside was bare, having been worn away by Jia Yan’s constant collisions over the days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The itchiness in Jia Yan’s body intensified!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why does it hurt so much?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Molting is usually simple, isn’t it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yan waited for a while, but found that no matter how he oscillated his body, the outer layer of old skin showed no signs of cracking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but feel a bit alarmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right, it must be because I trained too rigorously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exoskeleton has grown too hard this time and can’t be shed like that of a normal larva!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To calm his racing heart and mind, Jia Yan glanced at the smooth surface of the pebbles…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it can’t be shed in the normal way, then I’ll learn from snakes and rub against the surface of the rock to molt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved his body close to the pebble and began to rub up and down against it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hurt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it felt good!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second update is delivered!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother ‘Tiger Eating Pigs’, you have tipped us 100 Starty Coins again today!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know how to express my gratitude!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We are really satisfied just to have your support for our novel on the second day after its release!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our steps are filled with
