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

Mo Fan smiled slightly.

He didn't mean to mock, it was just a humorous jest.

The battle ended the next moment.

The two sides left the battle area.

......

At the Magic Crystal Plaza.

Mo Fan reappeared in the same spot, and the surrounding noise once again filled his ears.

"That's strange, this guy only has one pet."

Mo Fan had some doubts.

Logically speaking, Ye Liangchen's Circle Turtle's level is indeed quite high. Level 17 is considered above average among current players. Someone who can level up a pet to this level should at least have a second pet.

He was originally waiting for Ye Liangchen to summon a second pet.

Unexpectedly, Ye Liangchen really only had one.

No wonder he was so confident before – he probably poured all his resources and energy into this circle turtle, and then used his level 17 advantage to crush lower-level opponents.

Unfortunately, he ran into Mo Fan.

Just as Mo Fan was pondering, a private message notification suddenly popped up in the chat window.

It was sent through the gaming platform.

Sender: Ye Liangchen

Mo Fan clicked to take a look.

"I, Ye Liangchen, will remember you!"

"The humiliation of today will be repaid a hundredfold in the future."

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential!"

Mo Fan: "......"

He was silent for two seconds, then quietly closed the chat window.

He didn't think the other person was too weird.

He understands and respects every personality.

As long as they don't do anything wrong, that's fine.

People like Ye Liangchen.

That's considered rather immature or childish.

People with a "chuunibyou" (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur) personality generally don't fawn over others.

Mo Fan liked this very much.

Actually, it's pretty good...

Mo Fan composed himself and reopened the ranked match panel.

I have four valid matches left today. Since we've already started, let's finish them all in one go.

[Matching opponents...]

【Successful match! 】

The second match.

The opponent is a level 15 player who has a dandelion.

Mo Fan sent out the Fire Dragon Dance.

Fire type is super effective against Grass type, level 26 vs. level 15.

One critical hit shot, instant kill.

[Player Mo Fan wins! Gains 20 victory points.]

The third match.

The opponent is slightly stronger, possessing two pets—a level 14 Bouncing Seed and a level 16 Cornet Chicken.

Mo Fan first used Fire Dragon to deal with Bouncing Seed, then switched to Popola to deal with Cressie Chicken.

There were no surprises at all.

[Player Mo Fan wins! Gains 20 victory points.]

The fourth match.

The opponent is a level 18 Snowman.

Fire Dragon appears and takes her down in two moves.

[Player Mo Fan wins! Gains 20 victory points.]

The fifth match.

The opponents were finally more formidable—two pets, a level 19 Firebird, a level 17 Kirie, and a white-haired Lazybones.

Unfortunately, it was still not a place where Mo Fan could fight.

[Player Mo Fan wins! Gains 20 victory points.]

They won all five qualifying matches.

Current Victory Points: 100

[Congratulations to player Mo Fan! You have been promoted to the rank of Novice Mage!]

Chapter 136 Individual Progress

The moment the panel notification popped up, Mo Fan glanced at the experience calculation.

Just as Zhuang Xiao had predicted—the experience points awarded in ranked matches were extremely generous. After five matches, Fire Dragon, Oasis Mammoth, and Popola all gained a significant amount of experience. Although they didn't level up directly, their experience bars all advanced considerably.

"The rewards from ranked matches are indeed high."

"It's just a pity. I was worried that the opponents would be too strong, so I put all the pets on the standby for every battle. That way, the experience would be distributed evenly."

"However, it's not a big problem."

Mo Fan pondered this in his heart.

It seems I'll have to play all five ranked matches every day from now on. This is the most important source of experience besides dungeons.

......

At the same time, Zhuang Xiao suddenly sent a message to Mo Fan.

Zhuang Xiao: Brother Fan, I'm at the Labrang mine right now.

Zhuang Xiao: Do ​​you think I should capture another pet? I still have Gulu Ball.

Mo Fan saw the message, thought for a moment, and replied.

Mo Fan: Actually, there's no need. Gulu Balls seem to be a very rare resource right now, and I think they should be reserved for some rarer pets.

Mo Fan: Of course, when it comes to pets, the differences aren't as big as you might imagine. Even the wild pets that are permanently present in dungeons and secret realms, some have good potential, and others have strong support functions.

Zhuang Xiao: Brother Fan, I only have two pets right now, and I want to help you guys out.

Zhuang Xiao: So I want to capture another pet.

Zhuang Xiao: Brother Fan, what do you think of Xiao Bushi?

Upon seeing this message, Mo Fan hovered his finger above the panel, lost in thought.

This is the pet, Little Stone.

Looking at its base stats alone, it's actually quite average. Even its final evolved form, Blackrock, doesn't exceed 500 base stats. Although I've heard there will be a so-called Mega Evolution form in the future, who knows when that will be?

More importantly, after games are integrated with reality, whether subsequent updates within the game can still be used as a basis for judgment is an unknown.

but.

Little Stone, however, has extremely powerful auxiliary functions.

Mo Fan quickly recalled Xiao Bushi's skill pool in his mind.

First, it has Light Spike Cannon – a powerful move for the Rock type, extremely strong and a rare high-damage output skill among Rock-type pets.

And, more importantly—it also has two incredibly powerful skills.

Self-destruct.

And self-sacrificing explosions.

These two skills are hailed as god-tier support skills in the game.

The effect of self-destruction is to sacrifice all of one's own HP to deal massive damage to the enemy and reduce the opponent's defense.

Moreover, you can learn it at level 20.

But the self-destructive explosion is even more terrifying—

In the game, these two skills have extremely high tactical value.

Often, when facing boss-level pets with extremely high HP and defense, and unable to break through them head-on, a single Little Stone's Sacrifice Blast can directly blast away most of their HP.

Although Little Stone will also fall down, this "one for half" or even "one for one" exchange ratio is invaluable in team battles.

Especially in scenarios like boss battles in secret realms.

A well-trained little stone, with a single, self-sacrificing explosion at a crucial moment, could very well be the deciding factor in the outcome of a battle.

Thinking of this, Mo Fan told Zhuang Xiao about the situation of the pet, Xiao Bushi.

Mo Fan: Little Stone is an exceptional support pet. It has Self-Destruct and Sacrifice Explosion skills, both of which are extremely valuable in team battles. Simply put, it can sacrifice itself at crucial moments to deal massive damage to the enemy.

Mo Fan: In addition, it also has the Light Spike Cannon, a powerful Stone-type move.

Mo Fan: But the drawbacks are also obvious—the potential is average. The final evolved form's base stats are less than 500, so the upper limit is there. Although there are supposedly super-evolutionary forms, after the game merges with reality, can things from the game still be used as a basis for judgment? It's hard to say.
