Letting the Dark Crow rest at one side, Aoki began to think about his plans for the next period of time.
The first thing that remained unchanged was to let the Dark Crow continue to eat the yellow fruit's energy cube. From the situation of using it for the past few days, the effects were not bad. Just from appearance alone, the Dark Crow had actually grown from a malnourished state to the size of a normal Dark Crow elf in these four days. Its height was close to 50 cm.
However, in Aoki's eyes, the Dark Crow's changes were not limited to this. Its growth in size was the most obvious. At the same time, with the A.I. Chip's accurate scans every day, the elf's strength and speed had increased by varying degrees. Even its innate aptitude had improved. Although it was still green, its green had clearly deepened compared to a few days ago. This meant that the Dark Crow's original aptitude was at the top even among green elves.
Especially after the continuous battles this afternoon, the Dark Crow's efficiency in absorbing the yellow fruit's energy cube had increased.
There were still three days left. He believed that after continuing to use the energy cube, the Dark Crow's original aptitude would completely recover. At that time, it would be time for it to grow rapidly.
Therefore, the training for these few days could not be stopped. It was best to find more different elves to battle. While familiarizing itself with the rhythm of battle, it could also absorb the energy cube's effects better and recover better.
As for the direction of the Dark Crow's training, it was still mainly speed. The duration of the Tailwind skill had to be persisted in training. Above that, the Dark Crow needed to master some necessary skills. Skills that had already been learned needed time to familiarize and master, so that it could be used more efficiently in battle.
As an evil and flying dual elemental elf, the Dark Crow's resistance was still very good. Without four times the damage it received, it would not be wildly restrained by a certain elemental elf. Even skills that were restrained by two times the damage, such as lightning, ice, and fairy elemental elves, were extremely rare on the trial island. It could even be said that there were none. Therefore, when fighting on this island, it would be fine to be wary of rock elemental skills.
The Dark Crow, with its mischievous heart, often had an advantage in the release of skills. With the support of the Tailwind skill, what it needed to do now was to fight more, improve the tacit understanding between the trainer and the elf, and master the existing battle techniques.
After the yellow fruit's energy cube was used up, the Dark Crow would need another energy cube to speed up its growth and increase the effects of its growth.
As for this new energy cube, Aoki had already thought about it before the first ranking. The Black Speed Energy Cube was a mid-grade energy cube that alternated between black and white. According to the A.I. Chip's introduction, its main ingredients were the Evil Fruit and the Speed Fruit, as well as more than ten different types of herbs used as supplementary ingredients. It was an energy cube specially made for evil and flying-type sprites, which happened to be suitable for the Dark Crow's element.
Therefore, Aoki used all the points he earned in the first ranking to exchange for tree fruits. These two kinds of tree fruits were also the ones that Aoki exchanged the most. He almost emptied the stock of the island's Rocket Team. As long as he could produce it, he believed that the Dark Crows would enter a period of rapid growth.
After pondering for a while, Aoki, who had been busy all day, felt a wave of exhaustion. He placed his hands behind his head and glanced at the moonlight coming in through the cracks in the cave. He closed his eyes and gradually fell into a deep sleep with the steady breathing of the Dark Crows.
The next day, the sun slowly rose from the eastern horizon. With the disappearance of the night, the forest slowly returned to its tranquility. The sounds of insects dissipated, and the tracks of wild beasts disappeared.
A ray of sunlight shone in through the cracks in the cave, shining on Aoki's face. The gradually rising temperature woke him up from his sleep.
It was summer now, and the sun rose rather early. Because he had fought all day yesterday, it was rare that Aoki did not get up before the sun rose. Perhaps it was because things were progressing more smoothly, and a weight on his heart had been lifted.
Stretching lazily, Aoki looked at the Dark Crow that had woken up because of him, and smiled. After becoming a quasi-heavenly king in his previous life, he had gradually let down his guard and began to enjoy life. After starting over, this was the first time Aoki had gotten enough sleep.
"Dark Crow, your mission today is very simple. Flap your wings here until all the smell in the cave dissipates," Aoki said to the Dark Crow. In the previous battle, the Dark Crow had almost used Rising Wind with the help of Tailwind. He believed that as long as it trained a little more, it would be able to master it. If it continued to evolve, it might even be able to master high-grade damage skills such as Storm in advance.
While training its ability, it could also clean up the stench and clean the cave. It was killing two birds with one stone.
"Caw!" The Dark Crow nodded vigorously. It would always carry out Aoki's orders meticulously. From its birth until now, the Dark Crow had never seen its parents. It was born in the Rocket Team without a good environment, without delicious food, without training, and was often bullied by other elves. Until it met Aoki, who was the first and only person to treat it well. Therefore, the Dark Crow's feelings for Aoki, in addition to the love and respect an elf had for its trainer, was also like a child's dependence on its parents. It absolutely could not let Aoki down. This was the Dark Crow's only thought.
Seeing the Dark Crow's energetic appearance, the corners of Aoki's mouth unconsciously curled up. From the storage space, he took out today's Yellow Fruit Energy Cube. Under the Dark Crow's expectant little eyes, he threw them into the air one by one and they were quickly eaten by the Dark Crow.
"Burp …" After a satisfied burp, the Dark Crow flew into the air of the cave and flapped its wings. A whistling wind blew in the cave.
Because he was standing behind the Dark Crow, even if the wind in the cave whistled, it did not affect Aoki at all.
After washing up slightly and eating some dry food, Aoki took out tree fruits and herbs from the storage space one by one and placed them on the stone in order. He took a relatively clean piece of cloth from his body and carefully wiped each tree fruit before carefully putting them away.
He washed the tool used to crush the tree fruit with clean water.
Maybe it was because there was a lake beside the cave, or maybe it was because there was an underground spring here, so the original owner of the cave built a cave here. In any case, it was now convenient for Aoki and the Dark Crow. Compared to the lake water that every elf drank, the underground spring here was clearer and sweeter.
Due to the limitations of the conditions, the tools Aoki used were very primitive. There were wooden basins and pounding sticks, hand-cranked impurity separators, hand-cranked compressors, and hand-cranked condensers. All the tools were made of simple wood, so the production process was more complicated. The production of the energy cube was also slower, but the quality was still satisfactory. As for the higher-grade energy cube, it was not something that could be made with these simple tools.
Aoki carefully used a small knife to peel and core all the tree fruits, then used the A.I. Chip's calculations to cut the tree fruits into the same size on the chopping board. He removed the excess parts of the herbs, then crushed the herbs to remove the impurities.
First, he put in the flesh of the Evil Fruit and Speed Fruit, then used a rocker to crush them. He then followed the A.I. Chip's instructions to put in the other tree fruits and herbs one by one. The amount of each ingredient had to be precisely controlled, the mixing time had to be precise, the mixing degree had to be precise, and the order of the ingredients had to be precise. It was precisely because the production process of the energy cube had strict requirements that there were very few people in the Alliance who could produce the energy cube with high efficiency. Fortunately, Aoki had the A.I. Chip to help him control everything, so he only had to follow the simple formula.
He put the juice that had been produced into a container prepared beforehand. After compressing and condensing it, he only had to place it in a cool place and wait for a period of time to complete the production.
After completing a portion of the energy cube, Aoki placed the container to one side and took out the same set of ingredients to make the next one.
