After the black box disappeared, a transparent box made of an unknown material was revealed.
There were six test tubes in the transparent box.
When Aoki saw the six test tubes, his pupils shrank slightly.
This was because he saw that these six test tubes contained the elven catalyst that the A.I. Chip had roughly scanned in the morning.
The things that Shadow asked him to take were the main results of the research in the Lake of Wrath?
Aoki was stunned.
"Are these things effective?" Na Zi broke the silence.
She looked at the six test tubes in front of Shadow with a serious expression. With her status, she naturally knew the effects of the liquid in the test tubes, as well as the side effects.
Shadow nodded lightly and touched the transparent box. The box opened by itself, revealing the six test tubes. He took one out and sniffed it.
"Are you sure you want to use this? I heard that the side effects are quite severe, "Na Zi asked hesitantly.
It was obvious that the catalyst had obvious effects, but the higher-ups in the Rocket Team had long known about the side effects. It was just that they hadn't come up with a solution yet.
"I used almost half of my savings to exchange for these six test tubes. It's all for the sake of using them," Shadow's voice was a little emotional, but there was also a trace of unquestionable determination.
What Aoki didn't know was that when Shadow went to the training island, his strength had already been severely damaged. Even his body had suffered considerable damage.
If he wanted to quickly recover to the strength of an intermediate Heavenly King, then the growth of his sprites would severely restrict him.
Hence, when he knew about the results of the research in the Lake of Wrath, he hurriedly left the training island and asked Aoki to help him get these potions. Training Aoki was one of the reasons, but another was that he really needed these potions.
Each of these potions contained a large amount of energy, and the production cost was extremely high. Teleportation was not feasible.
Thus, he could only get them personally or send someone to get them.
However, Shadow's strength had been damaged, and in a real battle, he might not even be as strong as a new Heavenly King. Moreover, the Alliance was constantly monitoring his whereabouts. As long as he dared to appear in the wilderness, the Alliance would dare to send a group of Heavenly Kings to surround him.
It wasn't just the Alliance. There were many people in the Rocket Team who didn't like him, and there might be some who were willing to take the risk.
Hence, Shadow couldn't get them personally.
Thus, he could only send someone to get them.
Previously, he had been attacked by two Heavenly Kings because of the information leaked by the Rocket Team's internal members, so he didn't believe the Rocket Team's members at that time.
Which was why he brought Aoki out of the Rocket Team.
Because Aoki's background was very clear, he didn't feel any pressure using him.
Moreover, Aoki's identity and strength were relatively weak, so he wouldn't arouse anyone's suspicion. Thus, Shadow sent him to carry out such an important task.
Takeshi Aoki didn't know these things, and Shadow wouldn't tell Aoki either. However, Na Zi's relationship with Shadow was relatively good, and they were part of the same faction in the Rocket Team, so she knew very well.
Thus, when Na Zi met Aoki for the first time, she wanted to snatch Aoki's Dazed Beast. However, when she saw Aoki take out the probationary member medal that Shadow gave her, she didn't kill him.
Did he really think that a probationary member of Shadow was that important?
In front of a high ranking member of the Rocket Team like Na Zi, there wasn't much difference between him and a normal soldier.
She stopped completely because she understood Shadow's situation. She knew what role Aoki played in Shadow's plan, so she didn't kill him.
However, in the end, she helped Aoki awaken his superpower. This was unexpected.
"But if you use these potions, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to improve in the future," Na Zi said.
Although the Fairy Catalyst could speed up the growth of fairies and help Shadow recover his strength, the lifespan of fairies who used this potion would be directly halved. It wasn't easy to cultivate a Heavenly King tier fairy with a large amount of resources, but after a few years, his lifespan would start to decline.
At that time, it would be almost impossible for him to improve because of his limited lifespan.
When Shadow heard Na Zi's words, he shook his head helplessly. "If I don't use these potions now, I'm afraid I won't even have the chance to live until then."
After a pause, he continued. "I'll only use three of them and cultivate a few more with good aptitude. If there are enough resources, I should be able to connect them."
This sentence sounded like he was comforting Na Zi, but in fact, he was also comforting himself a little.
After all, at their level, and they weren't very old, everyone wanted to improve.
Na Zi nodded and also comforted him. "Actually, there's still a chance. It's just that you don't have much resources to begin with, so you'll use them even faster."
"So I'm going to start accepting missions again. This time, I'll accept the mission on their trial island." Shadow calmly took a sip of milk tea.
Aoki stood to the side and listened, not daring to speak at all. These two big bosses didn't avoid him chatting there. To put it nicely, they trusted him and treated Aoki as their confidant and one of their own. But to put it bluntly, wasn't it forcefully pulling Aoki onto their battleship?
At that time, not to mention joining other factions in the Rocket Team, even if he wanted to leave Shadow and Na Zi's factions and not join any one of them, he would be crazily suppressed or even killed.
Unless he was strong enough and under the wings and support of Shadow and Na Zi, he would be able to establish his own faction.
Of course, even if he did establish his own faction, he would still have to be allies with Na Zi and Ying's factions. Otherwise, why would they come to help him?
Thinking too far ahead, Aoki was still just a small soldier in the Rocket Team, or perhaps he couldn't even be considered a small soldier.
However, through Na Zi and Ying's conversation, Aoki was still able to find out some things. For example, Ying's strength had been damaged, and he was continuing to use the Fairy Spirit Catalyst to help him recover to his peak.
Aoki guessed that the first time he had seen Ying, the injury on his hand might be related to his strength being damaged at that time.
Another thing that was related to Aoki was that Ying had said that he had accepted the mission on the trial island.
What did that mean?
It meant that this trial island was not as simple as it seemed. Even Heavenly King Stage powerhouses who were lacking in resources could accept this mission to replenish their resources.
Either the rewards of this mission were extremely generous, or one could obtain many benefits while carrying out this mission.
No matter what, to Aoki and the other trial participants, this was not good news.
It was no wonder that when they were on the trial island, Ying had repeatedly emphasized to Aoki that this trial was not as simple as it seemed.
"This time's trial island mission? That won't be fun, I won't accompany you. You be careful. "Speaking of the trial island mission, Na Zi pursed her lips, showing that she was not interested in it at all.
