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

Complex terrain, multi-on-multi battles, and even the possibility of being attacked from multiple sides—in these situations, without sufficient combat experience and adaptability, a high level is useless.

If you panic and can't even pronounce the skills correctly, what's the point?

Secondly, and most importantly—

This secret realm is different from the last one.

The last Ancient Cocoa Tree Secret Realm was limited to the area within Yunhai City.

Within the confines of Yunhai City, the Yunhai Guild is undoubtedly the most powerful force. Even though Vanguard and Dawn have branches here, they cannot match the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce, which has been deeply rooted in the local market for many years, in terms of numbers and resources.

Therefore, in the last secret realm, the Cloud Sea Guild had a clear home-field advantage.

But this time it's different.

Cross-regional. Multi-city collaboration.

This means that players from Yunhai City will not only appear in the secret realm.

Players from several surrounding cities will all be crammed into the same space.

And those cities—

The Vanguard Guild also has branches in those cities.

The Dawn Guild also has branches in those cities.

Even the French Guild and other large national guilds have their own presence in those cities.

Once inside the secret realm, members of these nationwide guilds, whose branches are scattered across various cities, will surely converge and gather quickly.

At that time—

The Vanguard Guild, having gathered members from various cities, is likely to be far larger than the Cloud Sea Guild.

The same goes for the Dawn Guild.

Even the French Old Men's Association, with its branches in several cities combined, has a force to be reckoned with in terms of numbers and overall strength.

Not to mention the official magic defense departments in various cities.

These top forces, covering the entire country, become a true behemoth in the secret realm once they come together.

However, local forces like the Cloud Sea Guild, which are confined to a single city—

To put it bluntly, outside of Yunhai City, who knows you?

When the time comes, once the members of those big guilds get together, any one of them can crush the Cloud Sea Guild to the ground.

Faced with competition of this caliber, Yunhai Guild was nothing more than a big fish in a pond that had suddenly been thrown into the ocean.

At best, it would rank as second-rate.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhicheng rolled his eyes almost imperceptibly.

Then he lowered his head, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and said nothing.

Xu Donglai and the vice presidents present clearly didn't have time to think that far ahead.

Or rather, it's not that they didn't think of it, but that they were unwilling to think about it.

They were now preoccupied with only one thought—

Hurry up and enter the secret realm to reap the rewards.

The resources they obtained from the ancient cocoa tree secret realm last time had given them a taste of success.

Cocoa nuts, Rockberry, Philosopher's Stone... the value of these things in the real world is rising rapidly.

Not to mention the rare pets and special items.

With their keen business sense, they knew all too well what these things meant.

This is a completely new market that has not yet been fully developed.

Whoever acquires the resources first will gain an advantage in the future.

As for the dangers within the secret realm?

The previous Ancient Cocoa Tree Secret Realm proved that the dangers within the realm are not too great. As long as you don't provoke those high-level wild pets, you're basically safe from any life-threatening situations.

At worst, the pet will be defeated and kicked out of the secret realm; the only loss is one opportunity.

So—what's there to be afraid of?

Just go in.

Xu Donglai nodded slightly as he watched everyone present express their opinions.

"very good."

He stood up, placed his hands on the table, and his gaze was calm and resolute.

"Since everyone is so determined, then now—"

Xu Donglai's voice rang out in the conference room, steady and powerful.

"Summon all core members of the guild and assemble immediately."

"We are ready to depart."

Chapter 141 Preparations Part Two

Yunhai City, the headquarters of the Vanguard Guild.

The meeting room wasn't large, but it was clean and tidy.

Rukawa sat at the head of the long table, surrounded by several core members of the Vanguard Guild's Cloud Sea branch. Each of them wore a solemn expression.

A face is projected onto the communication panel above the desktop.

He was around forty years old, with a thin face and a composed demeanor that suggested he had long held a high position.

Shen Yuan, Vice President of the Vanguard Guild Headquarters.

How are your preparations going?

Shen Yuan's voice was unhurried, as if he were asking about the weather today.

Liu Chuan straightened up: "We are ready. The Yunhai branch currently has twelve core combat personnel available, all of whom have pets at level 15 or above, with four of them exceeding level 20."

Shen Yuan nodded, seemingly unsurprised by the number.

"I have already contacted the vanguard branches in the three cities surrounding Yunhai City—Linjiang, Beining, and Qingzhou. The arrangements have also been made."

As Shen Yuan spoke, he swiped his finger across the panel twice, and a document was pushed over.

"No matter how many cities this cross-regional secret realm will encompass, we can be prepared. Once the secret realm opens, if you can meet after entering, follow this arrangement."

Rukawa opened the file and glanced at it; it was a detailed tactical division of labor table.

He looked up and asked a crucial question.

"So, if our branches in multiple cities converge in the secret realm, who will take command?"

Shen Yuan remained silent for a second.

"The decision will be made jointly by each of you, the team leaders."

Rukawa's brow twitched slightly.

Joint decision-making.

It sounds democratic, but in practice, multiple commands often mean low efficiency.

However, he didn't say much.

Shen Yuan clearly saw his concerns as well.

But to be honest, the team leaders of each branch are all quite capable. If we were to forcefully select one, it would easily lead to dissatisfaction among the others.

There's really no good way to solve this problem.

Shen Yuan added, "If any major disagreements arise, the minority shall submit to the majority."

Rukawa nodded: "Understood."

Communication ended.

Rukawa turned off the panel and looked at the core members beside him.

"I heard you all. This isn't just about one branch. Once we're inside, we might run into members from the Linjiang, Beining, and Qingzhou branches. At that time—"

He paused.

"In short, let's find our own people first, then we can talk about other things."

Everyone responded in unison.

-

Dawn Guild, Cloud Sea Branch.

Chu Han sat in the conference room, surrounded by several other core members.

The hood of the black hoodie was pulled up to the top of his head, half of his face hidden in shadow. The communication panel in front of him was lit up, displaying lines of text messages.

The sender's nickname consisted of only two words—Nightingale.

Intelligence Director of Dawn Guild Headquarters.

[Chu Han, this time you'll have to unite the people from the other branches!]

Chu Han looked at the message but did not reply.

Why aren't you saying anything? Are you shy?

Chu Han typed two words: "I understand."

【Oh dear, so cold. I came here specifically to remind you. Headquarters is taking this Time Relics very seriously. Han Qing, the captain of the Beining branch, will be leading a team in. If you run into him, listen to him.】

Actually, I tried to advocate for you, but Chu Han, you're still young, so let's listen to others for now.

Chu Han's fingers paused for a moment.

Listen to Han Qing.
