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

He then temporarily put the Fire Dance Dragon back into the Gulu Ball.

The reason is simple: the Fire Dragon Dance is too conspicuous.

A level 26 Fire Dance Dragon, with its signature tail flame and imposing presence, is enough to attract everyone's attention in this open space.

What Mo Fan needs to do now is to quietly complete the transaction and synthesis.

There's no need to cause unnecessary trouble here.

The moment the Fire Dragon was recalled, Mo Fan's aura instantly became much more ordinary. Alone, without any pets following him, he looked like an ordinary solo player.

Mo Fan adjusted his state and then stepped out from the edge of the dense forest.

He walked straight toward the player with the backpack.

The other person was still holding up the fluorescent blue and looking around.

"I'll trade you your fluorescent blue." Mo Fan walked up to him and said succinctly.

The backpack player perked up as soon as he saw someone arrive: "Do you have any Fireflowers? I need some Fireflowers."

Mo Fan nodded and took out a spare Flame Flower from his backpack.

It's not exactly superfluous, but compared to the materials for making the beautiful orchid, the materials for making the temperature-regulating orchid are much scarcer. So it's better to trade them out for the fluorescent orchids we need.

The backpacker's eyes lit up when he saw the Flame Flower: "Deal!"

The transaction is complete.

Mo Fan looked at the fluorescent orchid that had appeared in his backpack—its petals were translucent, with a faint blue fluorescence flowing inside, and the whole plant looked like a delicate little lantern.

[Fluorescent Orchid ×1]

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

This is the end.

Angelica, short magnolia, snow mushroom, and fluorescent orchid—all four ingredients are ready.

Mo Fan's gaze subtly shifted to the alchemy cauldron in the center of the open space.

At this moment, several people were lined up in front of the alchemy cauldron; some were synthesizing, while others were waiting. The overall order was fairly good.

Mo Fan was about to walk over and join the queue.

Just then——

Suddenly, a cacophony of footsteps and voices arose from the edge of the dense forest in the distance.

It wasn't just one person.

They are the same group of people.

"Make way, make way!"

An arrogant voice rang out first.

Immediately afterwards, five people swaggered out of the dense forest.

The leader was a tall, thin man with short, dyed silver-gray hair and an exaggerated metal stud in his ear. He crossed his arms, walked with an arrogant stride, and his chin was slightly raised as he walked, his expression practically screaming "I'm the best in the world!"

The aura emanating from the five was completely different from that of the other casual players present—their steps were synchronized, their actions were orderly, and their eyes revealed an arrogant confidence.

The silver-haired man glanced at the crowd in the open space, a disdainful smile playing on his lips.

"Hey you, you flashy guy in the floral jacket, stay away from the alchemy cauldron."

The players who were queuing to complete their crafting were taken aback by the sudden reprimand: "Huh?"

"And you—all of you, step back." The silver-haired man waved his hand at the players next to the alchemy cauldron, as if shooing away flies.

"From now on, we'll take over this alchemical cauldron."

These words were spoken.

The previously harmonious atmosphere on the open space instantly froze.

The eyes of more than twenty players all focused on these five people.

The muscular player with a buzz cut and wearing a sports t-shirt was the first to step forward, his smile now gone.

"Who are you people? How dare you be so arrogant?"

He stared at the silver-haired man.

"This alchemy cauldron is a public resource, marked on the map by the system for everyone to use. Why should you just decide to take it over?"

The other players around also chimed in.

"Yeah, who do you think you are? You just come up here and tell people to get out of the way?"

"What kind of logic is this? First come, first served! We've been waiting in line for so long!"

"Five people think they can take over the alchemy cauldron? Are you kidding me?"

Faced with these condemnations, the silver-haired man not only did not back down, but instead laughed.

That smile carried a condescending disdain.

Who are we?

He turned his head and glanced at his four companions behind him.

“Tell them who we are.”

A man wearing sunglasses behind him immediately stepped forward, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and spoke in a very loud voice.

"Kid, ever heard of the Mad Dragon Guild?"

Chapter 151 Stability Maintenance Costs?

—The Mad Dragon Guild.

The moment those three words were uttered...

The reactions among the crowd instantly diverged.

Mo Fan stood on the periphery of the crowd, his expression calm.

The Mad Dragon Guild—he had never heard of it.

As a player in Yunhai City, Mo Fan usually comes into contact with information mainly from top-tier, first-class forces—Vanguard, Dawn, Pharaoh, and Evil God.

And the local power – Yunhai.

He didn't really recognize the name "Mad Dragon Guild".

But the backpack player next to Mo Fan, who had just completed a transaction with him, showed a clear look of surprise on his face.

"It's the Mad Dragon Guild?"

He subconsciously whispered something, his tone tinged with apprehension.

Mo Fan turned his head and glanced at him.

The player with the backpack noticed Mo Fan's gaze and quickly lowered his voice to explain, "Brother, you don't know the Mad Dragon Guild?"

Mo Fan shook his head slightly.

"The Mad Dragon Guild is one of the second-tier guilds in Beining City." The backpack player lowered his voice and spoke very quickly. "They are quite famous. Although they have fewer members and fewer high-level players compared to the first-tier guilds, they are an undisputed force in Beining City. It's normal that you haven't heard of them, after all, we're not from the same city."

Mo Fan nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

At this moment, the five players from the Mad Dragon Guild spoke up again.

The silver-haired man put his hands in his pockets, took a few leisurely steps, and glanced at everyone present. His tone was casual, but to Mo Fan, it seemed like he was putting on airs.

"It's not that you people can't use the alchemy cauldron if you want to."

He paused, a meaningful smile curving his lips.

"However, for every Gulu Ball that each person refines, they have to hand over one-third of the materials to us as... a stability maintenance fee."

He pronounced the last two words with exceptional clarity.

These words instantly caused an uproar in the open space.

"Are you kidding me?" The burly player with the buzz cut was the first to get angry. "Stability maintenance fee? What stability are you maintaining? Before you came here, we were all fine. Who needed your stability maintenance?"

"Exactly! We spent most of the day searching for materials in the secret realm, why should we share them with you?"

"A third? Why don't you just rob the whole thing?"

"This is a public resource, released by the system for everyone to use. What right do you have to charge for it?"

Faced with the agitated crowd, the silver-haired man not only did not back down, but instead gave a light sneer.

He gestured with his chin toward his four companions behind him.

The next moment—five Gulu balls were thrown out almost simultaneously.

Amidst the flashing red light, the five pets appeared together.

These five pets are all between level 16 and level 18.

The five pets stood in a row in front of the alchemy cauldron, forming a living barrier.

The silver-haired man stood calmly in place, arms crossed, his gaze sweeping over everyone with a haughty air.

"Now—does anyone still ask why?"

His tone was calm and unhurried, but he sounded incredibly arrogant.

"Let me tell you, it's all about who has the bigger fist."

These words are blunt and unvarnished.

The aura emanating from the five pets truly put immense psychological pressure on the players present.

Levels 17 to 19.

At this stage, the vast majority of players' pets are still at level 13 or 14. The few slightly stronger ones are only level 16.

Faced with such overwhelming disparity, the previously indignant outcry suddenly subsided.

The burly player with the buzz cut clenched his fists repeatedly, veins bulging on his face, but his lips moved a few times before he finally uttered no more defiant words.
