Chapter 24 Return to the Exchange
After entering the base through the entrance of the long ridge, the horizons gradually broadened.
Compared to when he left, there was hardly much change in the entire base. The only change is that the crowd is a little sparser, and the base in the open area reveals a deserted feeling.
It may be that there are still people who have gone out and have not returned. After all, tomorrow is the time for the real test.
If it wasn't to get rid of the precious elf egg on his back, Aoki wouldn't have come back so early.
Although compared with life in the wild, the base is more comfortable and safer. But a chilling air invisibly revealed in the entire base will affect people's hearts all the time. If they stay for a long time, people will become irritable and even become a murderous lunatic.
When Aoki entered the base, he did not deliberately hide it. The person who was training elves in a corner showed a look of joy when he saw Aoki entering, quickly stopped training, and disappeared into the square with his elf.
Aoki also saw this person out of the corner of his eye, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He was just a weak person who had to rely on others to survive.
Going straight to the exchange office, I occasionally pass people who are in pairs. When they see Aoki, they always have a trace of doubt, a little difference and a trace of schadenfreude.
In the special accommodation area for the base testers, in a house that is obviously larger than the other houses, a young man with Abo Snake is sitting in the middle of the room. He is stroking and squatting beside him with a smile. There are about 8 people sitting on both sides below the scales of the Abo Snake, all with their own elf, but they didn't dare to breathe, and they didn't even dare to look directly into the eyes of the teenager sitting in the middle.
"Gu, Boss Gu Jia, that kid is back." A figure quickly ran in from the door. When he ran to the boy, the thousands of words he wanted to say suddenly got stuck in his throat, and finally turned into these words.
That's right, the boy sitting in the middle of the hall is Gu Jia. The first place in the first test, according to the original trajectory, should also be the first in the final trial with no suspense. one.
"Oh? Is that the second-ranked kid?" Hearing the person's words, Gu Jia restrained his smile and gradually sat up straight. His eyes became sharp, and he stared closely at the person who came to report and asked.
Feeling the master's killing intent, Abo Snake, who had been entrenched in place, also straightened up, the snake letter swallowed, and a cold killing intent appeared in the narrow snake's eyes.
"Gudong." The young man who came to report the letter felt Gu Jia's gaze and Abo's gnawing eyes, like a sharp dagger sticking to his skin, his hair stood up and swallowed hard. Nodding stiffly, "Yes, yes, yes."
Hearing the affirmative answer, Gu Jia's body softened and leaned back on the chair again. The Abo Snake under the seat also returned to its original appearance, but for some reason, the teenager who came to report the letter felt even colder. .
"As expected of the person I liked, he actually stayed outside for so long and came back safe and sound. Haha" Gu Jia laughed, but there was no happy atmosphere at all.
Among the eight people sitting below, a strong young man, about 17 or 8 years old, suddenly stood up, and said in a loud voice, "Boss Gujia, he is just a person who takes the second place by tricks. I'll bring him here for you." Then he turned to leave.
Just as he was about to turn around, Gu Jia reached out his hand to stop him, "Stone, no need, I want to see how he will behave tomorrow." Gu Jia said with a smile.
"Yes." The strong boy named Shishi replied in a loud voice again, and then he sat down for a while. In fact, he was just pretending. If he really wanted him to work hard for Gujia, he wouldn't do it. Don't look at his simple and honest appearance, but he is shrewd in his heart.
To say, why in the days after Aoki left,
Gu Jia organized his own forces in the base with integrity. One of the very important reasons is the strength of Gu Jia. If you want to survive in such a place, strength must be very important, but it is not the most important.
The most important thing is to be hot!
Defeat the person who opposes you, then kill the opponent's elf, and finally let the other party witness himself being swallowed by the Abo Snake. This kind of ferocious act and powerful strength suddenly attracts a group of people. follow. In this cannibalistic place, only fifty people can survive in the end, and the weak will be eliminated sooner or later, so if you want to survive, the only thing you can do is to rely on the strong and become their followers, as long as the other party can be the first few. It is still possible to qualify with strength and save the lives of a few people. This is the kindness that the Rockets give to the strong.
The entire trial book is to supply the Rockets with talents. As long as those who can survive will be reused, they will hold important positions in various positions in the future.
Therefore, this trial is a purgatory field, but it is not a ladder to the strong road. As long as you can survive, you will become a powerful trainer sooner or later. Relying on the big tree of Team Rocket, you will become a strong trainer in the future. It is not impossible to be superior.
Perhaps for those affiliated members of the alliance, as long as they continue in the normal direction of growth, even if they cannot become strong, they will become a respected elf trainer, and they will have no worries in life.
But for those who were born commoners, or were born poor, this may be their only chance.
And most of the people who were brought to this island were civilians or those who couldn't even afford to eat, such as Aoki. I have lived in a slum since I was a child and ate food from trash cans, so I was so thin when I first arrived on the island.
But there are also people like Gujia, who originally had good living conditions, and chose to come to the island not only to hone themselves, but also to be gilded.
In fact, Gu Jia's brother is a team captain of the Rockets. He is also a person who stood out from the trial island. Now he has climbed to the team captain of the Rockets, which is almost a mid-level and high-level existence of the Rockets. Therefore, as his younger brother, Gu Jia does not feel that his talent is lower than that of his elder brother. After learning about this trial from his brother, through his brother's relationship, he mixed him into the testers and sent him to the island, even in the dark box operation, until he got this excellent aptitude. Cypress snake.
As the unevolved body of Brother Gujia's signature elf, Abo, he has long been familiar with how to cultivate Abo Snake, and he also believes that his current Abo Snake has reached the best level of cultivation at this level. state.
So it's been smooth sailing, and it has reached the point where it is now. Perhaps influenced by his brother's character, Gu Jia is also the kind of moody person. After revealing his cruel methods, he won over a group of people for his own use. Help yourself get more resources and better cultivate your elves. As for who will be left behind and who will be taken away after the final trial, it all depends on his mood.
Gu Jia, who was sitting in the first seat, deeply embedded his body into the large chair, and his gloomy eyes glanced at the audience, looking at the more powerful people in his subordinates.
Those who can survive on their own strengths, Gu Jia also doesn't mind taking them as his team in the Rockets in the future.
Of course, the ambitious Gujia can't just be a dispensable existence in the Rockets. Since he wants to do it, he must do his best. 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 Rockets.
When he became a cadre of the Rockets, he truly entered the top ranks of the Rockets, and by that time, it was possible to go further with his talent.
Every time he thinks of his future path, Gu Jia gets excited, licks his lips unconsciously, and reveals a cold smile.
Aoki, who walked straight into the exchange, didn't know anything about it, but even if he did, he wouldn't have any idea.
Once again, he has only one goal, and that is to become stronger. Those who stand in their way will be destroyed by themselves.
As for Gu Jia's identity, Aoki was in his inferior position in the previous life, and he has been unable to investigate, nor has the strength to investigate. In this life, even if Aoki found out, he would not be moved. He turned on the chip ahead of time and believed that he would not lose to anyone.
He untied the strip of cloth that bound the elf egg, and under the surprised gaze of the exchanger, he gently placed the unicorn's egg on the counter.
For this elf egg, Aoki decided to exchange it for points.
Although this elf is not weak after hatching, and because it is an insect-type elf that grows quickly, it can quickly become an effective combat force, but Aoki still chose to give up.
Because this is just an elf egg, I don't know how long it will take to hatch. If it hatches when the trial is about to end, what use will it do to Aoki? Even if it hatched in the past few days, Aoki has been cultivated smoothly, but only one elf can be used in the final battle of the trial. For Aoki, it is not only not a help, but even allocates resources to cultivate it. became a burden. And most importantly, the lifespan of its final evolutionary hornet was too short. When Aoki finally cultivated it and became an important combat force, due to the limitation of lifespan, its body began to decline and eventually became a Relatively tasteless elves.
As for the super-evolution of the giant needle bee, you must know that even the alliance does not know the existence of super-evolution, and precious super-evolution stones cannot be obtained at will. Even if you get one by luck, how can you be lucky again? It happens to be the super evolution stone of the giant needle bee.
Therefore, out of these considerations, Aoki chose to directly exchange it for points in exchange for more important resources now, focusing on cultivating dark crows.
Ignoring the surprised eyes of the exchange staff, he said indifferently, "I'm going to use it to exchange for points."
