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

The entire plant faintly emitted a soft, pale green light, making it extremely eye-catching on the riverbank.

Zhuang Xiao: I'll tell you the data about this plant.

Immediately following, another message arrived.

Zhuang Xiao:

Meow Meow Grass

One of the raw materials used to manufacture photosynthetic spheres.

Zhuang Xiao: And then there's this.

Photosynthetic ball

[Required materials: Water hyacinth x1, Meow Meow Grass x1, Ivory Flower x1.]

[Characteristic: Suitable for catching Grass-type Pokémon, significantly increasing the success rate of catching Grass-type Pokémon.]

Mo Fan's eyes lit up the moment he saw this information.

Photosynthetic sphere.

He had never heard of such a ball.

However, judging from the description, the materials required for this kind of ball vary, and the types of pets it is suitable for catching also vary.

News about Zhuang Xiao continues.

Zhuang Xiao: I found this plant by chance while exploring the riverbank. Actually, this kind of plant is quite common. I walked a short distance along the riverbank and saw two or three more similar magical plants. Although not all of them were Meow Meow Grass, they all emitted that light. You should also look carefully around yourselves; you should be able to find some!

Zhao Mingyuan: Holy crap! So this secret realm has this kind of mechanism! Materials are used to craft Gulu Balls! That's amazing!

Wind Chime: I understand, I'll go look for it too.

Mo Fan replied with two words as well.

Mo Fan: Understood.

Upon receiving the message, Mo Fan's thoughts became much clearer instantly.

This secret realm doesn't directly provide Gulu Balls; players need to find materials and craft them themselves.

In a sense, this is the truly reasonable mechanism.

Or perhaps the game is gradually being improved.

"It seems that this time, if I don't have any ready-made Gulu Balls, whether I can catch a pet will depend on whether I can collect enough materials."

"Begin the search!"

With that in mind, Mo Fan no longer hesitated. He immediately took Huo Wulong, adjusted his direction, and began to carefully search the surrounding environment.

This time, he was no longer exploring aimlessly.

Instead, they had a clear goal—to collect magical plants.

Fire Dragon seemed to have sensed the change in Mo Fan's intentions. It lowered its altitude and its nostrils twitched constantly as it caught various scents in the air.

Thanks to Mo Fan's own level 4 mage and Huo Wulong's level 26 advantage, both of them have a far greater ability to perceive magical energy than ordinary players.

Ordinary players might need to walk up to the plant to notice the faint magical aura.

But Mo Fan and Huo Wulong could vaguely sense the faint magical fluctuations from more than ten meters away.

This is the advantage that comes with being ranked.

Sure enough, less than five minutes later...

The Fire Dance Dragon's tail flames suddenly flickered slightly. It turned its head and let out a soft cry towards a patch of grass to its right.

Mo Fan followed Huo Wulong's directions and walked over.

Parting the slightly lush grass, a plant emitting a soft white light came into view.

This plant grew in a crevice of a gray rock, stubbornly pushing its way out of the crack.

Unlike the Meow Meow Grass that Zhuang Xiao discovered, this plant has a more expansive shape, with layers upon layers of petals, totaling eight petals.

Overall, it looks like a snow lotus in bloom.

The petals are pure white, but the edges are tinged with a very faint silver, which makes them appear holy and elegant under the magical halo.

Mo Fan crouched down and gently touched the petals of the plant.

A cool sensation came from my fingertips, and at the same time, a message popped up on the panel.

【Angel Grass×1】

[One of the materials used to make the Wonder Ball.]

"A beautiful ball?"

Mo Fan subconsciously opened the panel, and sure enough, after collecting the angel grass, new synthesis information was unlocked.

【Beautiful Ball】

[Required materials: Angelica sinensis x1, Magnolia simonii x1, Snow mushroom x1, Fluorescent orchid x1.]

【Characteristics: Aesthetically pleasing, suitable for capturing attractive pets. Offers a higher capture success rate bonus for certain pets.】

(PS: This incorporates a mobile game concept, similar to the berries in Pokémon.)

Chapter 148 Alchemy Cauldron

"It actually requires four kinds of materials..."

Mo Fan frowned.

A photosynthetic sphere only requires three materials, but this wonderful sphere requires four.

Moreover, he currently doesn't possess any of these three materials: short magnolia, snow mushroom, or fluorescent orchid.

Where can we find the remaining materials?

Mo Fan shook his head and put the angel grass into his backpack.

It's okay if you can't find it.

This secret realm is large enough, with a wide variety of magical plants scattered throughout its various areas.

If you keep exploring, you'll eventually find it.

Mo Fan stood up and continued walking.

And just as Mo Fan had predicted, as the scope of his exploration expanded, he did indeed discover more magical plants.

These plants are not uncommon; you can find one or two every so often in the grass, in the cracks of rocks, or on the shady side of a small hill.

They're just different kinds.

After crossing the low hill, Mo Fan arrived at a gentle slope on the other side of the hill.

The terrain here is significantly different from the previous grassland—the vegetation is much more lush, with scattered low shrubs and piles of gravel.

The humidity in the air has increased considerably, and the sound of flowing water can be faintly heard in the distance.

Right next to a pile of rubble in the middle of the gentle slope, Mo Fan discovered the second magical plant.

It was a short-stemmed plant that had sprouted from a crack in the rubble.

Its flowers are very small, only the size of a thumbnail, and are pale purple with petals that curl slightly inward, like a small lotus flower that has not yet fully bloomed.

Its stems are extremely short, growing almost close to the ground, making it appear unassuming and inconspicuous.

If it weren't for the faint magical aura emanating from it, Mo Fan might have walked right past it without even noticing.

【Short Magnolia x1】

[One of the materials used to make the Wonder Ball.]

"Short magnolia...the second material for the Wonderful Ball."

Mo Fan put it into his backpack and secretly memorized it.

Of the four materials, two have already been found.

We're still missing snow mushrooms and fluorescent orchids.

After walking for about seven or eight minutes, Mo Fan found another cluster of fungi emitting a cold white halo in the shadow of the roots of a low shrub.

They resemble mushrooms in shape, but their caps are covered with a thin layer of white fuzz, making them look like they've been sprinkled with fine snow.

The stipe is short and thick, and the whole thing is pale blue, making it stand out conspicuously among the surrounding green grass and trees.

【Snow Mushroom x1】

[One of the materials used to make the Wonder Ball.]

All three materials have been received.

Mo Fan moved swiftly, picking the snow mushroom and putting it into his backpack, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

But he immediately resumed his search.

One last one is missing – fluorescent blue.

However, as time went on, Mo Fan searched almost the entire area within a radius of several hundred meters.

They turned over the grass, checked the cracks in the rocks, crawled under the bushes, and even peeled away the moss around the roots of a few larger trees to examine them.

During this time, he found several other kinds of magical plants—some were angel grass and short magnolia he had seen before, and some were completely new species, but none of them were the fluorescent orchids he needed.

"Indeed, the distribution areas of each material are different."

Mo Fan stood on a high ground and looked around.

"Fluorescent orchid... Judging from the name, this plant is likely to grow in a relatively dimly lit environment. However, the area I am in is generally open and bright, which may not be suitable for the growth conditions of fluorescent orchids."

Thinking of this, Mo Fan looked into the distance.

To the southwest, a darker area is faintly visible, with denser trees and seemingly dimmer light.

"That area might be a dense forest... perhaps the fluorescent orchids grow in that kind of environment."

But it's so far away.
