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

All three shook their heads.

"not yet."

Mo Fan said, "Then you guys should finish your ranked matches. It's getting late, don't waste today's attempts. After you're done, go back and get some rest."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I'd like to tell you."

Mo Fan looked at Zhao Mingyuan and Feng Ling'er.

"I've already told Xie Yun about the hidden Easter egg in Snowman Valley, the snowman."

This can be considered as repaying the favor he did for us in the ancient cocoa tree secret realm.

Therefore, we are now even.

If we clash in the future, there's no need to hold back; we'll each rely on our own abilities.

Zhao Mingyuan and Feng Ling'er nodded.

Zhuang Xiao didn't understand why, but she could guess a thing or two.

Next, Zhao Mingyuan and his two companions began their ranked match.

-

As expected, all three players achieved a five-game winning streak.

They all reached the level of novice mage.

Afterwards, the four of them returned to their respective residences.

"Fan-ge, Mingyuan-ge, Ling'er-jie, see you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow."

......

On the way back to my accommodation.

Mo Fan took the Ice Spirit Fruit out of his backpack and handed it to Zhao Mingyuan.

"Here, take this."

Zhao Mingyuan was taken aback, looking at the ice-blue fruit in Mo Fan's hand, its surface covered with a thin layer of frost.

"Ice Spirit Fruit? Didn't you say it was for ice-type pets? I don't have any ice-type pets."

Mo Fan glanced at him: "You have the blessing of the Snow Spirit. You'll get an ice-type pet sooner or later. Keep it for now."

And, damn it, I haven't returned those cocoa beans you gave me last time.

Zhao Mingyuan opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he reached out and took it.

"Alright...then I won't stand on ceremony."

Mo Fan nodded.

That's about it for today.

Chapter 138 Mage Level Up

Back to the residence.

Mo Fan closed the door and sat down at the table.

Zhao Mingyuan had already returned to his room, and the faint sound of water running while washing up could be heard from next door.

Mo Fan didn't rush to rest.

He opened his backpack and took out everything he had obtained in the secret realm that day, placing it on the table.

The Ice Spirit Fruit has already been given to Zhao Mingyuan.

The leveling up of pets has also come to an end.

But besides these, he gained quite a lot today.

A magic stone.

A spirit stone.

And 50 Rock Bays.

Mo Fan set the earth spirit stone aside.

We don't need this right now, we'll talk about it later.

Then, his gaze fell on the Philosopher's Stone and the pile of Locke's Barons.

"Alright, let's start raising the mage's level."

Mo Fan took a deep breath and opened his mage panel.

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

I need 11 more experience points to reach level 3.

A magic stone can provide 30 experience points.

Mo Fan reached out and grasped the polygonal stone that emitted a pale purple glow.

It feels slightly cool to the touch, and you can feel the magical energy flowing on the surface of the stone with your fingertips—like a thin film of water, pulsating slightly in your palm.

Mo Fan closed his eyes and began to absorb the nutrients.

Unlike absorbing Rocbees, the energy of the Philosopher's Stone is purer and more concentrated.

Absorbing roximate feels like drinking a thick milkshake through a straw—slow, strenuous, and requires sustained focus to guide the energy into the body.

The energy of the Philosopher's Stone is like a clear spring.

As soon as Mo Fan touched the magical membrane on the surface of the stone with his mental energy, energy surged into it on its own.

Gentle, yet swift.

A pale purple light flickered a few times in Mo Fan's palm before gradually dimming.

The luster on the stone's surface gradually faded, eventually turning it into an unremarkable gray pebble, which then disappeared.

The energy has been completely absorbed.

It all happened in the blink of an eye.

Mo Fan opened his eyes and glanced at the panel.

【Ding--】

[Mage level increased!]

[Mage Level: LV.2 → LV.3!]

Current experience level: LV.3 (19/40)

One magic stone provides 30 experience points.

原本LV.2阶段还差11点经验就能升级，30点经验灌入之后，11点补满了升级所需，剩余的19点则自动累计到了LV.3的经验条上。

"It's definitely much faster than Locke Bay."

Mo Fan sighed.

The same 30 experience points, if obtained by absorbing Lockebeans, would mean absorbing 30 Lockebeans.

At his current rate of absorbing Rockbeard—which takes about five to ten minutes per bead—it would take at least two to three hours to absorb 30 bead.

A magic stone was absorbed in a short time.

The efficiency gap is self-evident.

"Unfortunately, magic stones are too rare."

If one can acquire a large number of magic stones, the speed at which a mage levels up will be several times faster.

Unfortunately, it's better to just think about it.

Mo Fan casually tossed aside the piece of rubble that had turned into gray stone and turned his gaze to the 50 Locke Bays on the table.

It takes 40 experience points to upgrade from LV.3 to LV.4.

We currently have 19 points, and we need 21 more.

50 Rockbean coins, each providing 1 experience point, for a total of 50 points.

In other words, after absorbing these 50 Lockebes, his magician level will break through to LV.4, and he will also have excess experience.

"Let's begin."

Mo Fan picked up the first Locke, closed his eyes, and began to channel the energy.

......

Compared to the Philosopher's Stone, the process of absorbing Rockbeard is indeed much more tedious.

The magical energy contained in each Rockbeard is very thin, requiring complete concentration to guide and slowly extract that tiny amount of energy.

One.

Two.

Three.

......

Time slips away quietly in this repetitive and monotonous process.

The sky outside the window changed from dusk to night.

Nightfall turned into the dead of night.

Mo Fan remained seated at the table, absorbing Locke Bays one after another.

Midway through, he experienced a significant breakthrough – that was the feedback when his mage level increased from LV.3 to LV.4.

A cool energy surged from an unknown part of the body, spreading along the meridians to the limbs and bones, lasting for about a few seconds before dissipating.

[Mage level increased!]
