"Lord Aoki, congratulations on obtaining first place in this trial. According to the rules of the trial, you can obtain a precious Yu San family sprite." The worker said with a smile.
She didn't even pay attention to how she determined the points and ranking and directly told Aoki.
However, as an esper, Aoki noticed something. Before the worker spoke, there was a small thread of esper energy connected to her head.
Telepathy!
It seemed that she was either an esper or an esper sprite that was communicating with them.
No wonder she didn't need to use any computers or scanners to know the points and ranking.
After the worker finished speaking, Aoki noticed that the thread of esper energy behind her head fluctuated again. After that, the worker's expression changed.
"Sorry! Sorry! Lord Aoki, please wait a moment. I have something to do. Please wait a moment. "She immediately opened the door behind her and ran out.
After she left, a figure slowly appeared in the place where she had been sitting.
Shadow!
When Aoki saw who it was, he wanted to greet her but was stopped by Shadow.
Then, from his shadow, a Geng Gui came out and suddenly released specter energy, directly enveloping Aoki and Shadow.
"Alright, those espers and sprites are indeed convenient, but if you keep watching like this, there's no privacy at all." Shadow said with a sigh of relief.
I wonder who's good friends with the strongest esper, Na Zi.
"Lord Shadow." Aoki respectfully called out.
"You did well this time. Not only did you obtain first place, you also obtained more than double the second place. However, that's also because Regis and the other brats didn't have the heart to fight for it."
Shadow continued, "Last time, I promised you that if you obtained first place in the final trial, you would accumulate the rewards from last time. This time, the Yu San family sprites that you can provoke will have better aptitudes. I'll let you choose later."
Aoki was slightly happy and nodded.
Then, Shadow continued, "First place in the final trial also has an item reward. You can apply for an item from the Rocket Team as the reward. The value can't be too high. In principle, it's capped at 10 million. However, I've given you the authority to not exceed 30 million. You can choose one item."
Hearing Shadow's words, Aoki didn't know that first place in the final trial had an item reward. However, it was definitely better than nothing, so he began to think about what he wanted.
After a moment of silence, Aoki said.
"Will the Proof work?"
Shadow was clearly surprised and looked strangely at Aoki, "You want the Proof?"
"Yes, why? Is it worth more than 30 million? "
"Cough, it's nothing. The market value of the Proof of King is around 50 million, and most of the time, it's priceless. However, the Rocket Team does have a few in stock. I can make an exception for you, but are you sure you want the Proof of King?" Shadow asked to confirm.
Aoki felt a little uncomfortable under Shadow's gaze. However, being able to obtain the Proof of King was still somewhat beyond his expectations.
Could he obtain the Proof of King so easily?
This kind of rare item, even if the Dumb Beast didn't use it, he could still make a profit by selling it a second time.
"Yes, I want the Proof of King." Aoki said with certainty.
"Okay, you can teleport over with the Yu San family sprites."
Since Qing Mu wanted it, and Ying had also made a promise, then they would definitely satisfy him.
"Did you go to the Ghost Cave where I asked you to give me the Geng Gui Pokeball?" Shadow asked with a serious expression.
Hearing Shadow's question, Aoki's heart trembled. Sure enough, he still asked this question.
Did they sense the existence of the Dream Demon?
Luckily, he had said all kinds of good things to the Dream Demon in the last two days, allowing her to control her aura. Now, as long as she was in the Pokeball, other sprites would not be able to sense her existence.
"Yes, there was a map fragment in there, so I went to get it." Aoki answered honestly.
"Then did you find anything strange? Or did you notice any strange sprites? Did you check the black pillar again? "Shadow asked three questions at once, which showed how important this matter was to him.
"Strange things? The only strange thing is that black pillar. I went in to check it out, but I didn't see any strange sprites. However, my Phantom Stone absorbed some of the spirit energy, so its level and strength increased. "Aoki summoned Phantom Stone from his shadow.
As a trainer with a Geng Gui, of course he was very familiar with Phantom Stone.
Moreover, Aoki had scanned the Geng Gui's data before, but today, this Geng Gui had disappeared in a flash. However, Aoki was sure that this Geng Gui's strength had definitely increased a lot. At least, it was no longer the same strength as before.
Even if it hadn't reached the Heavenly King tier, it was definitely at the Quasi-Heavenly King tier.
With such a fast improvement speed, did Shadow use a Sprite Catalyst on the Geng Gui?
"Mm, your Phantom Stone is not bad. If you train it well, it might become a Heavenly King tier sprite in the future." Shadow carefully looked at Phantom Stone and nodded.
Although he still had doubts in his heart, with Aoki's strength, it was obvious that he couldn't escape from a Heavenly King tier sprite. He had asked before because he was a little confused.
Now it seemed that he was thinking too much. He was only a little stronger than a Company Captain. How could he escape from a Heavenly King tier sprite?
"Understood!"
"Alright, if you have any questions, you can ask me. Now that the final trial is over, you should be able to become a Company Captain of the Rocket Team at the very least."
"I want to ask, Regis, the other two, and Yangping …"
Naturally, Aoki wasn't foolish enough to ask. Regis had told him about the internal strife within the Rocket Team. These were matters of the upper echelons, after all. He didn't have the right to get involved with them yet. Otherwise, not even his bones would be left.
"Regis, ah. Regis's identity isn't simple. If you can avoid conflict with him, don't. As for the other two, while their identities aren't simple either, they're still a little lacking compared to Regis."
"As for Yangping, you were the one who killed him, weren't you?"
"Don't be in such a hurry to deny it. While Yangping's identity isn't much different from the other three on the surface, he's far from it. Also, he has Lunda behind him. He's the officer behind the Company Captain who sent someone to test you. Your guess isn't wrong."
"So what if he's dead? Lunda won't be able to do much. He's just a guy who knows how to play tricks."
"Don't worry. Now that you're first on the trial island, many people in the Rocket Team are paying attention to you. Most importantly, the leader is paying attention to you as well. He won't dare to make a move."
Aoki didn't say anything, but Shadow was certain that Yangping was killed by Aoki.
Anyone with a bit of common sense would know that if Aoki hadn't killed Yangping, Regis wouldn't have been so easy to talk to.
Did they really think no one was paying attention to them?
It was just that there were some things that were known, but if they were exposed, it would be different.
See through but don't say it!
