After passing through the long entrance and entering the base, his field of vision gradually widened.
Compared to when he left, the entire base didn't seem to have changed much. The only change was that the number of people was slightly less, and the spacious base revealed a sense of desolation.
Perhaps there were still people who hadn't returned. After all, tomorrow was the day of the real test.
If it wasn't for getting rid of the precious Elf egg on his back, Aoki wouldn't have returned so early.
Compared to life in the wild, the base was more comfortable and safer. However, the entire base exuded a chilling aura that would constantly affect one's heart. If one stayed there for too long, one would become irritable and even become a bloodthirsty madman.
When Aoki entered the base, he didn't deliberately hide. When the person who was training his Elf in a corner saw Aoki enter, his face revealed a look of joy. He quickly stopped training and disappeared from the square with his Elf.
Aoki also saw this person from the corner of his eyes, but he didn't pay much attention to him. He was just a weakling who needed to rely on others to survive.
Walking straight to the exchange center, he would occasionally pass by people in groups of two or three. When they saw Aoki, they would always have a trace of doubt and a trace of schadenfreude.
In the base's specialized residential area for trial takers, there was a room that was clearly bigger than the other rooms. A youth with an Abba Snake was sitting in the middle of the room. He had a smile on his face as he stroked the scales of the Abba Snake beside him. There were about eight people sitting on both sides of the room. They all had their Elves, but they didn't dare to breathe loudly. They didn't even dare to look directly into the eyes of the youth sitting in the middle.
"Boss, Boss Gujia, that kid is back." A figure quickly ran in from the door. When he ran in front of the youth, the thousands of words he wanted to say were suddenly stuck in his throat and turned into this sentence.
That's right, the youth sitting in the middle of the hall was Gujia, the first place of the first test. According to the original trajectory, he should have become the first place of the entire trial without any suspense.
"Oh? Is it that kid who ranked second? "Hearing the words of the person who came, Gujia's smile disappeared and his body gradually straightened. His eyes sharpened as he stared at the person who came to report.
Sensing its master's killing intent, the Abba Serpent, which had been coiled up on the ground, straightened its body. It flicked its tongue, and a cold killing intent appeared in its long and narrow eyes.
"Gulp." The young man who came to report felt Guja's gaze and Abbo's devouring eyes. It was like a sharp dagger sticking to his skin. His hair stood on end, and he swallowed hard. He nodded stiffly and said, "Yes, yes, yes."
Hearing the affirmative answer, Guja's body softened as he leaned back on the chair. Abba returned to its original state, but for some unknown reason, the young man who reported the news felt even colder.
"As expected of the person I chose. You actually came back safe and sound after staying outside for so long. Hehe. "Gujia laughed, but there wasn't the slightest bit of joy.
Among the eight people sitting below, a youth with a strong body, about seventeen or eighteen years old, suddenly stood up and said in a low and muffled voice. "Boss Gujia, it's just a person who used a small trick to get second place. Let me bring him here." After saying that, he turned around to leave.
Just as he was about to turn around, he was stopped by Gujia. "Stone, there's no need. I still want to see how he performs tomorrow." Gujia said with a smile.
"Yes." The strong youth called Stone once again replied in a low and muffled voice. After saying that, he returned to his seat. Actually, he was just putting on an act. If he really had to risk his life for Gujia, he wouldn't do it. Don't be fooled by his simple and honest appearance, he was very shrewd.
It must be said that in the few days after Aoki left, Gujia openly organized his own forces in the base. One of the most important reasons was Gujia's strength. To survive in this kind of place, strength was definitely important, but it wasn't the most important thing.
The most important thing was ruthlessness!
Defeating the people who went against him, then killing the opponent's little elf, and finally letting the opponent witness him being swallowed by the Abba Serpent. This kind of ruthless action and valiant strength attracted a group of people to follow him. In this kind of man-eating place, only fifty people could survive in the end. The weak would be eliminated sooner or later, so if they wanted to survive, the only thing they could do was to rely on the strong and become their followers. As long as the other party's strength could reach the top, it was still possible to preserve a few people's lives. This was the goodwill of the Rocket Team to the strong.
The whole trial was to send talents to the Rocket Team. As long as they could survive, they would be put in an important position in the future.
Therefore, this trial was a purgatory, but it was also a ladder to the path of the strong. As long as they could survive, sooner or later they would become a powerful trainer. Relying on the Rocket Team, it was not impossible for them to become a person above others in the future.
Perhaps for those direct members of the alliance, as long as they continued to grow in the normal direction, even if they couldn't become strong, they would become a respected little elf trainer. They would not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
But for those who were born as commoners, or those who were born poor, this might be their only chance.
Most of the people who were brought to this island were commoners or those who couldn't even afford to eat, such as Aoki. Living in the slums since young, eating food from the trash can, so when he just came to the island, his body was so thin and weak.
But there were also people like Gujia, who originally had very good living conditions and chose to come to the island in addition to training himself, it was more of a kind of gilding.
In fact, Gujia's brother was a captain of the Rocket Team. He was also someone who stood out from the trial island. Now he had climbed to the position of captain of the Rocket Team, which was almost a high level existence in the Rocket Team. Therefore, as his younger brother, Gujia didn't feel that his talent was lower than his brother's. After learning about this trial from his brother, he had used his brother's connections to sneak him into the trial participants and sent him to the island. Then, he had manipulated the situation in the dark to wait for this Abbo Snake with excellent aptitude.
As the unevolved form of Gujia's brother's signature elf, Abba Snake, Gujia was already familiar with how to raise the Abba Snake. He also believed that his current Abba Snake had reached the best cultivation state for its current level.
Therefore, under the smooth sailing, he reached his current level. Perhaps because of his brother's personality, Gujia was also a temperamental person. After showing his cruel methods, he won over a group of people for his own use. They helped him get more resources and better cultivate his own elf. As for who would stay and who would be taken away after the final trial, it all depended on his mood.
Sitting at the head of the table, Gujia's body was deeply embedded in the wide chair. His cold eyes swept across the audience, looking at the people who were more powerful among his subordinates.
Those who could survive with their own strength, Gujia didn't mind bringing them along as part of his Rocket Team in the future.
Of course, the ambitious Gujia couldn't just be a dispensable existence in the Rocket Team. Since he was going to do it, he had to do it to the best of his ability. The smallest goal he set for himself was to surpass his brother, so the first thing he had to do was to become a cadre of the Rocket Team.
Once he became a cadre of the Rocket Team, he would truly walk into the upper echelons of the Rocket Team. At that time, relying on his own talent, he might be able to take another step forward.
Every time he thought of his future path, Gujia would become excited. He unconsciously licked his lips and revealed a cold smile.
Aoki, who had directly entered the exchange center, didn't know anything about this. However, even if he knew, he wouldn't have any thoughts.
He only had one goal in mind, and that was to become stronger. As long as someone obstructed him, he would destroy them.
As for Gujia's identity, Aoki had always been below him in his previous life. He had never been able to investigate, nor did he have the strength to do so. In this life, even if Aoki knew, he wouldn't be moved. He, who had activated the A.I. Chip in advance, believed that he wouldn't lose to anyone.
He untied the cloth binding the egg, and under the astonished gazes of the people in the exchange center, he gently placed the Unicorn Worm egg on the counter.
With regards to this egg, Aoki still decided to use it to exchange for points.
Although this sprite's aptitude wasn't weak after it hatched, and because it was a bug sprite, it would grow quickly and become an effective fighting force. However, Aoki still chose to give it up.
This was because this was only a sprite egg, and he didn't know how long it would take to hatch. If it hatched when the trial was about to end, what use would it be to Aoki? Even if it hatched in a few days, and Aoki successfully nurtured it, only one sprite could be used in the final battle of the trial. To Aoki, not only was it not of help, he even had to allocate resources to nurture it. Instead, it became a burden. Most importantly, the lifespan of its final evolved form, the Bumblebee, was too short. When Aoki finally managed to nurture it to become an important fighting force, its body began to decline due to the limitations of its lifespan. In the end, it became a rather useless sprite.
As for the Bumblebee's super evolution, even the Alliance didn't know of its existence. Precious super evolution fossils weren't something that could be obtained easily. Even if one was lucky enough to obtain one, how could it be so lucky as to be a super evolution fossil of the Bumblebee?
Therefore, due to these considerations, Aoki chose to exchange it for points directly, in exchange for more important resources to nurture the Dark Crow.
Ignoring the astonished gaze of the exchange center, he said indifferently, "I want to exchange it for points."
