Is the closed beta test of King of Loque over? The official release is here!

On the official side, Xie Yun was reporting the situation to Minister Xia of the Magic Defense Department.

"Minister Xia, let's tentatively name this secret realm the Ancient Cocoa Tree Secret Realm for our trip."

In this secret realm, we reaped a great harvest, including resources to upgrade our magician level and various resources to enhance the attributes of our exclusive pets.

Of course, the most precious things are the cocoa fruits.

Our official harvest of cocoa beans in this industry is probably the largest.

These cocoa fruits are divided into different grades, with a total of four grades.

The cocoa fruit on the first floor is just ordinary, adding only 100 experience points.

The second floor grants an additional 300 experience points.

The third level grants an additional 800 experience points.

As for the fourth level, it not only increases experience points, but also improves talent points.

However, we only obtained 6 cocoa fruits from the fourth layer.

Furthermore, Lin Mo and I have each used one during the battle.

There are now only 4 left.

As for the rewards on the fifth level, those are exclusive to the individual and cannot be traded.

Xie Yun honestly reported the situation to Minister Xia.

Minister Xia naturally didn't say anything about Xie Yun and Lin Mo using cocoa fruit.

He simply patted Xie Yun on the shoulder.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"You should use those two cocoa fruits."

"After all, if you don't use it, you probably won't be able to maintain your good condition, let alone get the rewards from the fifth level."

Then Xie Yun asked, "Minister Xia, how do you plan to allocate these resources?"

"For example, shouldn't the remaining four cocoa fruits be given to the members who participated in the fourth and fifth level battles?"

Logically speaking, this should be the case.

After all, those cocoa fruits were obtained by them.

But Minister Xia hesitated when faced with this question.

Chapter 109 Reporting on Work

Minister Xia's hesitation was for a very simple reason.

Because, according to instructions from high-ranking officials.

These resources, especially the top-tier ones, include those that can increase a pet's affinity and enhance its talent value.

All of these need to be submitted to higher management for unified planning.

To put it bluntly, it means bringing them under unified control.

Who should use what, and who shouldn't use what, is all decided by those above.

Xie Yun clearly noticed Minister Xia's hesitation.

He didn't speak, but just quietly looked at Minister Xia.

After a few seconds of silence.

Xie Yun frowned and spoke.

"Minister Xia, there are some things I'm not sure if I should say."

Minister Xia raised his head and looked at Xie Yun.

"You said."

Xie Yun took a deep breath, his tone steady, but every word he uttered was firm and resounding.

"These resources were obtained by our members of the Defense Against Magic Department through their own hard work and sacrifice."

"On the ancient cocoa tree, all their pets were beaten until they lost their fighting ability. Everyone was fighting those bosses with their lives on the line."

"Logically speaking, these things should be allocated to them first."

"Only the superfluous items should be turned in."

"otherwise......"

Xie Yun paused for a moment after saying this.

He didn't continue, asking what might happen otherwise.

However, he felt that we are in an era of great change.

People's hearts are more important than anything else.

If those members who risked their lives knew that everything they had earned was ultimately taken by those above and distributed to those who had never even entered the secret realm, it would be a terrible mistake.

Who would be willing to risk their life for you after that?

Who would still be willing to be on the front lines?

Doing something so disheartening just once is enough to shatter the cohesion of the entire team.

Although Xie Yun came from an extraordinary background, he understood the dire consequences of doing so, so he would not view the issue from the perspective of those who benefited from the status quo.

Minister Xia, of course, understood all of this.

It's not that he doesn't understand.

On the contrary, he understood it all too well.

The problem is that orders from higher-ups are orders.

As the defense minister of a region, there are some things that are beyond his control.

After a moment of silence, Minister Xia sighed.

"Xie Yun, I understand everything you're saying."

"Don't worry, I will do my best to persuade the higher-ups."

"At least... I will try to keep those four cocoa fruits from the fourth level and distribute them to the members who participated in the battles on the fourth and fifth levels."

Xie Yun looked into Minister Xia's eyes to make sure he wasn't just giving her a perfunctory answer before nodding.

"Thank you, Minister Xia."

Minister Xia waved his hand.

"No need to thank me, you're right. If we discourage people, the team will fall apart."

"I'll go and communicate with the higher-ups."

With that, Minister Xia turned and walked into his office, closing the door behind him.

Xie Yun stood still, his gaze slightly somber.

He knew that how much could actually be achieved when Minister Xia said he would "try his best" was an unknown.

But at least—Minister Xia is willing to fight for it.

This is enough.

Xie Yun turned and left.

When he walked out of the Magic Defense Department building, Lin Mo was leaning against the door waiting for him.

"Captain, how is it?"

Xie Yun said calmly, "Minister Xia said he would do his best."

Lin Mo understood immediately, and the corner of his mouth curled slightly.

"Trying your best is not always the case."

Xie Yun glanced at him.

"We can't control how far we can go. Just do our own thing."

Lin Mo nodded and said nothing more.

But I still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Those things were obtained at the cost of their lives.

In the end, how many will remain depends on the attitude of those in power.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo suddenly remembered something and said in a low voice.

"Captain, you said that Mo Fan and his group of independent fighters don't have this kind of trouble."

"What you make, you keep."

Xie Yun stopped and glanced at Lin Mo.

He didn't speak.

But Lin Mo understood the meaning in that glance.

Yes, freedom is sometimes more valuable than anything else.

......

the other side.

Vanguard Guild's branch in Yunhai City.

Rukawa was sitting in the conference room, and on the communication panel in front of him was the face of a middle-aged man.

That was Shen Yuan, one of the vice presidents of the Vanguard Guild headquarters.

"Rukawa, tell me in detail about the ancient cocoa tree secret realm."

Shen Yuan's voice was steady and powerful, carrying the authority of someone who had long held a high position.
