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

"Zhicheng, compile all the information you currently have about Mo Fan and send it to me."

"And the second-place winner too."

"Yes."

Liu Zhicheng responded.

After the call ended, Liu Zhicheng sat there for a long time.

That golden list keeps echoing in my mind.

Sixth place: Liu Zhicheng.

Fifth place: Rukawa.

Just one step away.

But it was precisely this step.

He tilted his head back and closed his eyes.

"Next time."

"It won't happen again next time."

He said in a low voice.

But even he himself didn't know how much confidence he had in saying that.

Falling behind at one step leads to falling behind at every step.

The captains of both the Vanguard and Dawn divisions received the Evolution Gift.

Once their core pet evolves, its base stats will directly exceed the maximum.

By then, the gap will only widen.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhicheng unconsciously clenched his fist.

.......

Unlike the busy reports from various major forces.

At this moment.

Mo Fan had already fallen into a deep sleep.

In the dream, there are no secret realms, no rankings, and no power struggles between various factions.

Only quiet darkness.

But suddenly.

A staff that appeared out of nowhere, emitting a faint glow.

The staff stood in the darkness, its crystal tip refracting a faint golden light.

A dream quietly emerged.

In the dream, it seemed to be a floating island.

On the island stood many strangely dressed people, some holding staffs, some holding longswords, and some holding spellbooks...

At the center of these people stood a man dressed in a magnificent golden magic robe, holding a staff in his hand.

The staff radiated a holy light.

Its form seems to be exactly the one that Mo Fan obtained.

At this moment, all of them had serious expressions on their faces, gazing at the distant horizon as if they were about to face something dangerous.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky.

In the distance, darkness suddenly spread across the horizon.

next moment--

The dream became blurry.

Mo Fan turned over and slept even more soundly.

......

Wake up early the next morning.

Mo Fan remembered that he seemed to have a dream last night.

But I can't remember exactly what I did.

Only vague fragments remained in my mind—it seemed like there was a floating island, a magic staff, and a patch of darkness...

But nothing more.

Anything beyond that, I can't remember.

Mo Fan rubbed his temples, stopped dwelling on it, and got up to wash up.

After washing up, Mo Fan sat back on the bed and began to organize the things he was carrying.

Currently.

In terms of resources—

A golden cocoa fruit, specifically the cocoa fruit from the fourth layer of an ancient cocoa tree. Mo Fan hasn't used this cocoa fruit yet; he's keeping it.

Five physical attack fruits – rewards obtained from the trial of Wood Bean.

A large HP recovery potion – a reward previously obtained from rolling dice with a treasure map.

As for Lockebe, he had none left. All the ones he had saved up had already been used to upgrade his mage level before even entering the secret realm.

Regarding special items—

A treasure map. I obtained it in the Pet Garden Secret Realm dungeon.

And of course, there's the Guardian's Staff.

The Guardian's Staff currently displays a question mark on its information panel. Specific attributes will only be shown after a major version update.

Mo Fan took out the staff and examined it for a while.

The staff's material is warm and smooth, providing an indescribable sense of comfort when held. The crystal inlaid at the top of the staff reflects a faint glow in the morning light, while the surrounding semicircular rings and bird-shaped decorations are exquisite and rustic.

"What is the origin of this staff?"

Mo Fan kept in mind the words in the letter that "the kingdom has encountered disaster" and "turmoil is imminent."

But there's so little information right now, I can't figure it out.

Mo Fan put the staff away.

Then, he opened his mage panel.

Chapter 112 The Idea of ​​Building a Force

【Mo Fan】

[Level: LV.2 (19/30)]

There are 11 experience points, or 11 Locke's, needed to reach level three.

After organizing my resources.

Next, Mo Fan opened the network panel and browsed the latest news online.

As expected, the topic of the ancient cocoa tree mystery continues to gain traction online, and its popularity has not only not decreased, but has actually increased compared to yesterday.

However, this time, the focus of everyone's discussion was not entirely on the gains of those major powers.

Instead, they talked about two names.

Mo Fan.

Wind chimes.

Clearly, after a day of fermentation, the news spread much faster than expected. The player community in Yunhai City already knew—the first and second place winners in the final battle of the Ancient Cocoa Tree in their region were both solo players!

"Holy crap? The number one player is a solo player? Not one of those big guilds?"

"Am I seeing things? A casual player can reach number one? What about the big players? What are they doing?"

"Are you mistaken? How could a solo player possibly defeat a large, well-organized guild?"

"No mistake, I know someone who entered the secret realm, and he told me himself. The first one is named Mo Fan, and the second one is named Feng Ling'er, both of them are solo players. And they are both top players in the closed beta!"

"A top player in the closed beta... no wonder."

"This is too overpowered! Where are the official personnel? Where are the Vanguard Guild? Where is the Dawn Guild? They were all overwhelmed by two independent players?"

"Xie Yun from the official guild is third, Liu Chuan from the Vanguard Guild is fifth, Chu Han from the Dawn Guild is fourth, and Liu Zhicheng from the Cloud Sea Guild is sixth."

"What about the legal profession?"

"seventh."

"Hahaha, is the French husband going to be at the bottom?"

"It's not exactly the worst, there are still many people behind it. But among these major forces, it is indeed the last one."

"That's not the point, is it? The point is Mo Fan! There's a hidden reward for first place! What exactly is that reward?"

"I don't know, it hasn't been made public."

"Who exactly is this Mo Fan? Does anyone know him?"

"I don't know him, but I heard he has a fire dragon, the really powerful kind!"

"Fire Dance Dragon? What kind of pet is that? I've never even heard of it!"

"Nonsense, you weren't a beta tester, of course you haven't heard of it."

"And there's that Wind Chime, who supposedly has a pet named Duoling, which was a top-tier divine pet during the closed beta!"

"Those two are just too strong..."

"Most importantly, neither of these two has joined any faction yet!"
