Zhuang Xiao became even more excited, clearly not expecting that Mo Fan would still remember her.

Mo Fan asked casually.

"Have you successfully redeemed the Meow Meow?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xiao's eyes instantly lit up like light bulbs.

He nodded emphatically, his voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement:

"I've redeemed it!"

"Just before the secret realm closed, I collected all thirty fish! Ten clownfish, ten small grass carp, and ten chubby fish, exactly one more and one less!"

"To be honest, my hands were shaking when I was fishing for the last few fish. Especially that last fat fish, I almost missed it!"

As Zhuang Xiao spoke, she seemed to be transported back to the tense situation, gesturing with her hands and her face full of relief at surviving the ordeal.

"It's all because of what you told me before, that Meow Meow is a very strong pet with high base stats, a complete skill set, and even a Mega Evolution form. After hearing what you said, I made up my mind that I would do anything to get Meow Meow!"

"At that time, I didn't go anywhere else. I stayed at the fishing game. Everyone else had left, and I was the only one left squatting there!"

I fished until the dungeon closed.

Mo Fan smiled and said, "Congratulations."

Although it was only two words, Mo Fan spoke with great sincerity.

Zhuang Xiao's ability to gather thirty fish at such an efficient pace and exchange them for a meow shows that he is patient, persistent, and determined to see things through to the end once he sets his mind on them.

This quality is often more important than talent.

Moreover, Meow Meow is indeed an outstanding pet with great potential.

When Mo Fan was in the closed beta, he chose Meow Meow from the three main pets.

Its initial form is cute, its mid-stage evolution adds a touch of coolness, and its late-stage evolution... adds a few pounds of weight.

Of course, he looked cool again after his super evolution.

Zhuang Xiao scratched the back of his head and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

Then he spoke again:

"Hey boss, what are you doing here?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Zhuang Xiao realized that what she had said might not have been appropriate.

The main problem was that he wasn't very good at conversation and didn't know what to say for a moment, but he didn't want the conversation to fall silent. However, after asking the question, he felt like he was prying into other people's affairs.

So he quickly waved his hand and tried to salvage the situation by saying:

"Boss, that's not what I meant! I wasn't trying to pry into your privacy or anything. It was just... just a casual question. If it's inconvenient for you to say, just pretend I didn't ask!"

Mo Fan wasn't bothered by his flustered appearance.

"I'm waiting here for a few friends."

"Oh, are you referring to those friends you teamed up with?" Zhuang Xiao suddenly realized, and then his tone became excited again.

"Boss, I've heard! In that competition for the ancient cocoa tree, the three of you actually managed to secure one of the six spots to go to the fifth level, standing out among all the major powers!"

Zhuang Xiao's eyes lit up, and she lowered her voice, but she couldn't suppress her excitement.

"I was fishing in the secret realm at the time. Although I didn't see the battle there with my own eyes, I saw it all after I came out! The internet is full of your name and another person named Feng Ling'er!"

"You got first place! You know what, when I saw that ranking, I was completely stunned!"

"I immediately thought, 'Isn't this the person I met while fishing?! The expert who introduced me to the strength of Meow Meow!'"

As Zhuang Xiao spoke, she almost jumped up.

Mo Fan didn't reply, but just listened quietly.

After a moment of excitement, Zhuang Xiao suddenly fell silent.

He hesitated for a few seconds, rubbed his hands together, as if he was mentally preparing himself.

Then, he took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and spoke:

"Hey boss, um... is there a chance I could join your team?"

Chapter 119 New Team Members

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhuang Xiao deflated.

He lowered his head, and his voice followed suit:

"I know I'm weak right now. My mage level is only one, and my pets are just a few (like the Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles and the Meow Meow I just got). Their levels aren't high either..."

"Besides, the three of you are all so strong, someone of my skill level probably wouldn't be of much help..."

Zhuang Xiao's tone carried a hint of self-deprecation, but more than that, it was filled with resentment.

In his view, Mo Fan and his two companions' performance in the Ancient Cocoa Tree Secret Realm was nothing short of terrifying. How could players of that level possibly even look down on him?

The only reason he asked was to give himself a chance.

Even if I get rejected, at least I won't have any regrets.

however--

Looking at the slightly uneasy young man in front of him, Mo Fan had another thought in mind.

Members with potential.

Wasn't he worried about this before?

He kept thinking about where to find someone who was both promising and reliable.

But sometimes, things just happen by chance.

What you search for desperately but cannot find often appears before you when you least expect it.

Zhuang Xiao.

Crossing-the-bridge noodles. Meow.

Either of these two pets, taken individually, could be considered to have potential.

Although Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles isn't a popular pet, its fishing ability has already been proven in the mini-game—who knows, this ability might come in handy in the future.

Moreover, Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles itself is not entirely without merit in combat; its base stats and skill pool are considered above average among pets of the same tier.

It has broken through 500 points overall.

As for the meow meow—needless to say.

One of the three main pets.

It has high base stats, well-rounded skills, and even a Mega Evolution form.

Once Mega Evolution is available, Meowth's strength will be enough to place it in the T1 tier or even higher.

When the exchange was first launched, although the three main pets were not unique, the number available for exchange was also limited.

There are probably not many people who own it.

In other words, the cat in Zhuang Xiao's hand may be unique in the entire Yunhai City, or even in the whole country.

That's potential.

As for whether they are reliable or not—

Mo Fan recalled his several encounters with Zhuang Xiao.

In the fishing game in the Ancient Cocoa Tree Secret Realm, after Zhuang Xiao caught his first fish, he immediately shared the information from the exchange panel with all the players present, including Mo Fan.

At that time, he could have chosen not to share.

After all, that information wouldn't be of much use to others without the means to obtain it. But what if someone comes up with another way to improve efficiency? That would actually create more competitors for Zhuang Xiao.

But Zhuang Xiao didn't hide it.

He just shared it very naturally.

This kind of person—at least isn't a bad person at heart.

Moreover, Zhuang Xiao was able to stay there alone until the secret realm closed after everyone else had left, managing to catch all thirty fish—this patience and tenacity is something that not everyone can do.

Mo Fan already had the answer in his heart.

"can."

Mo Fan said.

Zhuang Xiao kept her head down, clearly prepared for rejection.

So when those two words reached his ears, he was completely stunned.

"......What?"

He looked up, staring at Mo Fan with disbelief.

I said, "Sure. No problem."

Mo Fan spoke in a calm tone, as if he were talking about something completely ordinary.

Zhuang Xiao was completely stunned.

He opened his mouth, but for a moment he couldn't say a word.

"You...you're serious?"
