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

Mo Fan: It's up to you.

After sending the message, Mo Fan waited a few seconds.

Zhuang Xiao's reply came quickly.

Zhuang Xiao: Brother Fan, I've made up my mind. I'm going to catch a little cloth stone.

Zhuang Xiao: There will definitely be more special wilderness areas opening up in the future. I hope I can help out then. As for the future, who can say for sure? Maybe Little Stone will actually get the Mega Evolution feature. Besides, according to what you said, Brother Fan, Little Stone isn't weak in the early stages.

Mo Fan, after hearing Zhuang Xiao's words, said nothing more.

Mo Fan: Okay.

Zhuang Xiao: Received!

That concludes the message.

Mo Fan waited at the Magic Crystal Plaza.

Not long after.

Feng Ling'er, Zhao Mingyuan, and Zhuang Xiao emerged from the secret realm instance one after another.

The first thing to appear was the wind chime.

She emerged from the white light, her expression unchanged, showing no particular emotional fluctuation. Doling followed beside her, her small, bluish-purple body floating lightly.

Next was Zhao Mingyuan.

He stretched lazily as soon as he came out, his face showing some fatigue, but his spirits were still good. The little T-shirt was draped over his shoulder, and he looked just as exhausted.

Finally, it's Zhuang Xiao.

Zhuang Xiao ran out, her face full of excitement.

"Brother Fan! I got the Ice Spirit Fruit and also captured Little Bu Shi!"

Zhuang Xiao waved to Mo Fan from afar.

Mo Fan nodded to the three of them.

The four met up.

Zhao Mingyuan walked over and patted Mo Fan on the shoulder: "How was it? How was your day?"

Mo Fan briefly recounted his various gains and the improvement in his pet's level.

"Tell me about your situation too," Mo Fan said, looking at Zhao Mingyuan and the other two.

Zhao Mingyuan rubbed his hands together and grinned: "Not bad, quite a harvest. The little T-shirt leveled up from 22 to 23, and the guardian dog went straight from 19 to 21."

"Hehe, those ice-type pets in Snowman Valley and the peach blossom buns in Cloud Swallow Peach Garden are just the right dogs to fight each other." Zhao Mingyuan said, his tone tinged with pride. "But the fiercest ones aren't those two."

He paused, then held up three fingers.

"White-browed Little Ape, went from level 10 to level 18."

Upon hearing this, Mo Fan's gaze shifted slightly.

Level 8.

It jumped eight levels in one go, which is quite a significant increase.

"How did you do that?" Mo Fan asked.

Zhao Mingyuan chuckled: "The big carrots in Yunyan Peach Garden were all eaten by the White-browed Little Ape. He went from level 10 to level 15 just by eating carrots."

Mo Fan nodded.

That makes sense.

While the carrots from Yunyan Peach Garden don't provide a particularly large amount of experience, the effect is still quite considerable for low-level pets. The White-browed Ape is only level 10, right in the stage where it needs the least experience to level up; a few carrots and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to level up five times in a row.

"And then what? How do you level up from level 15 to 18?"

Zhao Mingyuan held up one finger and said mysteriously, "Earth Spirit Stone."

Mo Fan was taken aback.

"The White-browed Little Ape can use Earth Spirit Stones? It can't—"

But suddenly, Mo Fan thought of something else.

Chapter 137 Level 20

“Yes!” Zhao Mingyuan nodded. “I didn’t expect that at first either. The White-browed Ape is clearly a martial-type pet, so it shouldn’t be able to use earth spirit stones. But I let it absorb them on a whim, and—it actually worked.”

Mo Fan was silent for a moment, then he understood.

In the Kingdom of Loque, some pets have only one attribute in their initial form, but after evolving to a later form, they will gain an additional attribute, and some pets may even undergo an attribute change.

The White-browed Little Ape is an example of this situation.

Its initial form is pure Fighting type, but its final evolved form will have an additional Earth type.

In other words, the white-browed ape inherently possesses earth-elemental potential. However, in its initial form, this potential has not yet manifested.

The energy of the Earth Spirit Stone perfectly stimulated this potential.

“Not only did it level up three times,” Zhao Mingyuan continued, his voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement, “but after absorbing the Earth Spirit Stone, the White-browed Little Ape awakened its Earth attribute ahead of schedule. Moreover—its Earth affinity also increased by 10%.”

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Mo Fan's eyes.

Earth attribute awakened ahead of schedule.

This could be a good thing, or it could be a bad thing.

With an additional attribute, there are also attributes that mutually restrain and resist each other.

"We're lucky," Mo Fan said.

In any case, you should always try to think positively.

Zhao Mingyuan chuckled twice: "Of course."

Mo Fan's gaze shifted to Feng Ling'er.

Feng Ling'er spoke directly and concisely.

"Duo Ling, level 23. Elegant Swan, level 21. Spark, level 19. Lazy White-haired Man, level 20."

Mo Fan quickly did the calculation in his mind.

多灵从22级升到23级，华贵天鹅从20级升到21级，火花从18级升到19级。这三只的提升幅度都在一级左右，属于正常的秘境刷级收益。

But the white-haired lazy guy went straight from level 18 to level 20.

Two levels.

The White-Haired Lazybones is a common-type pet, lacking the advantage of type advantage, making it inefficient for leveling up in dungeons.

unless......

Wind Chime: "It ate all the carrots in Yunyan Peach Garden too."

now it's right.

Mo Fan nodded, then looked at Zhuang Xiao one last time.

Zhuang Xiao couldn't contain herself any longer and spoke up excitedly.

"Brother Fan! My Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles is now level 18! Meow Meow is level 16!"

"Meow Meow's leveling up is actually similar to that of Brother Mingyuan and Sister Ling'er's pets. It also ate carrots alone, first leveling up to level 14, and then leveling up to level 16 in the subsequent secret realm dungeon."

Then, Zhuang Xiao excitedly added:

"However, the Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles and Meow Meow are no longer my highest-level pets."

My highest-level pet is currently—

Little cloth stone! "

As he spoke, Zhuang Xiao summoned Little Stone.

At this moment, Mo Fan and the other two also saw Xiao Bushi's level.

Level 20!

For a moment, both Mo Fan and Feng Ling'er were slightly surprised.

Zhao Mingyuan exclaimed, "Holy crap, what's going on? How did you do that? How did a level 20 pet suddenly appear?"

Zhuang Xiao scratched his head shyly and explained, "It's like this. I leveled up my Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles to level 18 first, and then I went to catch the Little Cloth Stone. The Little Cloth Stones there are between level 18 and 20. My Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles is level 18, so according to the updated rules, I can also catch level 18 Little Cloth Stones."

"And then? Levels 18 to 20."

"Earth Spirit Stone!" Zhuang Xiao exclaimed excitedly. "Little Stone is an Earth and Stone type pet, so absorbing an Earth Spirit Stone is a perfect match for it. One Earth Spirit Stone and it went straight from level 18 to level 20! It also increased its Earth affinity by 10%."

Mo Fan nodded inwardly.

Little Stone is an Earth-type pet, so its absorption efficiency of Earth Spirit Stones is naturally the highest. All the experience provided by one Earth Spirit Stone is effectively utilized, making it perfectly reasonable to level up twice.

After listening, Mo Fan mentally summarized the pet levels of everyone.

On our side—Fire Dance Dragon level 26, Oasis Mammoth level 21, Fire-Eyed Lizard level 19, Popola level 18.

Zhao Mingyuan – Level 23 in Little T-shirt, Level 21 in Guardian Dog, Level 18 in White-browed Little Ape.

Wind Chime - Level 23, Level 21, Level 20, Level 19.

Zhuang Xiao – Xiaobushi Level 20, Guoqiao Mixian Level 18, Miaomiao Level 16.

Overall, the team's strength has made a qualitative leap today.

Especially since Zhuang Xiao's little stone is already level 20, it must have already learned the self-destruct skill.

This is undoubtedly an extremely important boost to combat strength for the upcoming boss battles in secret realms.

"Not bad." Mo Fan looked at the three of them and smiled. "Today's harvest is better than expected."

Zhao Mingyuan put his arm around Mo Fan's shoulder: "Of course, our efficiency is definitely in the top tier among all the players in Yunhai City."

Zhuang Xiao nodded in agreement: "Brother Fan, what are our plans next?"

Mo Fan thought for a moment and said, "We've used up all our attempts in the Secret Realm today. Have you played any ranked matches?"
