As Aoki had chatted with Shadow for a while, almost everyone was there by the time he got on the plane.
Even someone as powerful as Regis was waiting in his chair, bored.
The plane was like a luxurious business hall. The seats were all portable dining tables.
Waiters dressed in tuxedos carried drinks and food as they weaved through the crowd.
Skye, Yeric, and the others had been waiting for Aoki at the boarding gate.
In the room before, the person who received them had told them that if they were willing, they could join a clan leader or company leader and receive better treatment.
However, Yeric and the others had refused.
Following a normal company leader or company leader wasn't as promising as following Aoki.
At the very least, with Aoki's potential, he definitely wouldn't be a normal Rocket Team leader. And as Aoki grew, they would be able to receive even more benefits.
Joining a clan leader or company leader would only be icing on the cake at most. But now that Aoki was lacking manpower, joining him would be like sending charcoal in snowy weather. They would have a different starting point.
Aoki found an empty round table and sat down. Yeric and the others sat down under Aoki's signal.
The final trial was rather dangerous. Originally, Aoki had ten or so people under him, but now, there were only six people at the table, including Aoki.
They were Yeric, Skye, Fox, Tian Zhen, and a youth called Rand.
Only these few had survived in the end.
According to the final ranking, Aoki was first. Even though Yeric went to collect some points, he didn't make it into the top ten and ended up in the thirteenth place. Skye, on the other hand, had been hiding from the start and slowly collected points before killing people weaker than him. In the end, he made it to the tenth place, which was out of Aoki's expectations.
To be able to make it to the tenth place among a bunch of Rocket Team officers, quasi officers, and company leaders was already quite good.
However, in terms of strength, Alec was actually much stronger than Sky. From this, it could be seen that ranking did not necessarily represent strength. It could only be said that luck had a lot to do with it.
Was Aoki definitely stronger than Regis?
If the two of them were to fight, Aoki estimated that he would only have a 20% chance of winning. This was already thinking highly of him.
After that, Fox and Tian Zhen were both ranked in the thirties. As for Rand, he was the one who had truly become a coward.
He had always believed that as long as he could complete the trial alive, Aoki would be able to bring him out of the island. Thus, he had always been hiding in a very secluded place. In the end, he had relied on two points to make it to the 48th place.
However, Aoki wouldn't abandon him. After all, he was someone who could survive the three-month trial period. He still had some ability.
However, there was one thing that surprised Aoki. He had previously recorded in the A.I. Chip that the few people who had originally intended to betray him and were frightened by him in the end didn't make it out alive.
Seeing the respectful look on Sky's face, Aoki felt that Sky had probably found a chance to get rid of those people. After all, before the trial began, Aoki had clearly expressed his dislike for those people.
At the very least, it seemed that Aoki's subordinates were completely loyal to him.
There was also Miyamoto. Even though he had wanted to directly follow Aoki, he had been stopped by Aoki. It was more valuable for him to hide among those people.
However, Miyamoto's luck was not bad. In the end, he managed to get seventh place, which was quite a good harvest.
Aoki looked towards Aoki's side. Miyamoto, who had been paying attention to Aoki all this while, nodded subtly to express his respect.
However, as he turned, his gaze met with Regis's, who was looking at Aoki.
Regis raised his cup towards Aoki, indicating the relationship between the two. Aoki also raised his cup to show that he hadn't forgotten.
Regis then smiled and turned around.
Even though Aoki had gotten first place this time, his harvest wasn't as great as he had imagined. The so-called resources were mostly taken away by the officers.
Regis, on the other hand, had gained quite a bit. It wasn't in terms of resources, but in terms of manpower.
Many of the survivors had joined Regis, who had the greatest backing, since they no longer had anyone to rely on.
He didn't reject anyone who came to him. They were all going to be subordinates anyway. Those with decent potential would be of great use to him in the future.
As for Qing Feng, she wasn't too bad either. Since Jasmine had followed her, the girls under Jasmine also followed her. There were only four or five of them who had survived.
They were all people with decent potential.
Only Han Song, perhaps due to his personality, sat not too far away from Regis, reading a book with his head lowered as he sipped on his coffee. He didn't fit in with the other members of the Rocket Team.
As for those who joined later, there weren't many idiots who could grow to this point.
Many of them knew the reason and result of their participation, so they chose to join Regis without hesitation. Regis was still the biggest winner.
Only the subordinates of the quasi-officers remained unmoved. Some even looked at Regis and the other two with hostility.
However, the difference between the two groups was too great, and it would only grow bigger in the future.
If the people behind them lost badly, their fates wouldn't be any better.
"How did you guys get in the end? Who was given the position of squad leader? "Aoki asked the five with a smile as he drank from his cup.
This group of people could be considered his subordinates in the future. Even though they looked ordinary now, with the help of the A.I. Chip, they would grow up sooner or later.
Of course, the prerequisite was that they were loyal.
Skye looked at everyone and finally said, "In the end, Yeric and I got the position of squad leader. It is said that the top five in this trial will be assigned the position of squad leader, and the top fifteen will be assigned the position of squad leader. As for the rest, they should have started as foot soldiers."
Skye was one of the first to follow Aoki. Even though he was slightly weaker than Yeric, that was only because Yeric had the support of a squad leader.
Now that the two of them were of the same status, it was better for Skye, who had followed Aoki, to speak first.
Before Aoki returned, the two of them had communicated in private.
However, without Aoki's permission, Yeric didn't tell Skye about Miyamoto's existence, so as to not interfere with Aoki's plans.
"Then the two of you can apply to join my squad when the time comes. I will ask for approval from the higher-ups. After that, the three of you can go under Skye. After all, you've been together for a long time. As for the other vacant positions, wait until things settle down, then slowly look for them," Aoki said.
"Yes!" The five of them nodded respectfully.
"After arriving at Jinhuang City, all of you can get off the plane. After you've settled your matters, go to Fengyuan District together. Yeric, you'll be in charge of this matter. I might be a little late, but I need to see a more stable environment when I arrive," Aoki said to Yeric with a serious expression. After all, this was related to his future plans.
"Yes! Rest assured, sir! "Yeric nodded.
Now, he was really tied to Aoki's ship. Whether Aoki's development was good or bad, it was closely related to his future development.
