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

"what?!"

The first to cause an uproar was that burly player with the buzz cut.

His eyes widened in disbelief.

"You—what's the difference between you and the Mad Dragon Guild?!"

"Exactly!" exclaimed a player in a striped shirt. "We thought you guys were good people! We never expected you to be such bullies!"

"How can you be so greedy? This is clearly a public resource! The system released it for everyone to use!"

"That's right! We're not having it! Why should we pay you?"

"You guys are just like that Mad Dragon Guild!"

In an instant, shouts of condemnation rose and fell in the open space, even more intense than when they dealt with the Mad Dragon Guild earlier—because the psychological gap between the two was simply too great.

They had just thought the two sisters were there to save the day.

Unexpectedly—

One bully left, and another bully came.

For a moment, the backpack users were all stunned.

"What... what is this?"

"Are you kidding me?!"

"Did evil triumph over evil?"

Despite the crowd's anger, the girl with pigtails and a bun hairstyle showed no remorse whatsoever.

Her smile became even brighter.

"What? You're not convinced?"

She stood with her hands on her hips, her chin slightly raised, looking at the indignant players.

"We kindly helped you out by driving away those troublemakers. Not only did you not thank us—you're actually trying to bite us back?"

She shook her head, with an expression that said, "You've really disappointed me."

"This is just like—the farmer and the snake!"

These words infuriated everyone even more.

"What farmer and snake! We are indeed grateful that you helped us drive away the mad dragon! But that doesn't mean you can take the opportunity to collect protection money!"

"That's right! We thought you were doing it out of kindness to drive those people away! We never expected you were also after the Golden Cauldron!"

"It's just a different person charging the fees, is there any real difference?!"

Faced with these accusations, the girl with the pigtails and buns suddenly changed her expression.

The sweet smile on her face vanished.

Instead, there was a coldness tinged with mockery.

"You people."

Her tone suddenly turned sharp.

"More than twenty people—and they were intimidated by just five people."

"Isn't it shameful?"

These six words were like a slap in the face, making everyone present blush.

"Those five people, the highest level is only 19. You have more than twenty people and more than twenty pets—aren't you enough to fight them all?"

"Can't you fight for your own interests? Why do you have to wait for others to stand up for you?"

"Your own interests are earned through your own abilities, not by waiting for others to do it for you!"

She spoke each word clearly and quickly, with emphasis.

"Today we helped you drive those people away—but what about tomorrow? The day after? If you encounter stronger and more arrogant people again, are you still going to stand in the same place—waiting for some kind-hearted passerby to stand up for you?"

The open space fell completely silent.

No one speaks.

Because I can't put it into words.

Because what she said was all true.

Just now, more than twenty people were indeed intimidated by five arrogant guys. Not a single person stood up, and not a single person suggested joining forces to fight back.

Everyone is waiting.

Wait for others to take the lead.

Wait for others to get hit first.

Waiting for others to solve your problems.

The girl with pigtails and buns looked around and, seeing that everyone was silent, smiled again.

"and."

She held up one finger and waved it in the air.

"I have something else to tell you."

Her tone became lighter again, but the weight of her words remained undiminished.

"We might not be as easy to talk to as the people from the Mad Dragon Guild."

"At least they spent a lot of time talking to you."

"If anyone wants to come up and give it a try—come on."

She pointed to the electric fox in front of her.

The electric fox yawned in agreement, its round eyes looking at the crowd, and the arcs of electricity at the ends of its fur crackled a few times.

"However—you'll have to bear the consequences!"

"If you anger us, you'll be in big trouble."

Silence fell over the open space once again.

This silence was even more profound than when facing the Mad Dragon Guild.

Because everyone knew in their hearts that the two girls were far stronger than the five people from the Mad Dragon Guild.

Moreover, although the girl with pigtails' words were harsh, they did indeed strike the softest spot in everyone's heart.

—Yes, if you don't even dare to fight for your own interests, why should you expect others to stand up for you for free?

The five members of the Mad Dragon Guild, who had retreated to a corner, witnessed this scene clearly.

The five men's originally gloomy faces now displayed an extremely complex expression.

I was surprised.

There was a hint of schadenfreude in it.

There was even a hint of—an inexplicable sense of absurdity.

"Damn, what is this?"

Chapter 155 Me?

Silence is the best compromise.

The twenty-odd players on the open ground looked at each other, and in the end, none of them said anything to refute it.

One Rockberry.

It's not a lot, but it's not a little either. However, compared to the one-third of the materials that the five people from the Mad Dragon Guild wanted, it's definitely less than a fraction of what they needed.

Moreover, although what the two girls said was harsh, no one could refute it.

More than twenty people were held down by five people and dared not move.

This is a fact.

One shameful fact after another.

So, one after another, the crowd walked towards the alchemy cauldron and began to line up.

The atmosphere was much more somber than before; no one was laughing or talking anymore. Everyone's expression was subtle—like someone who had swallowed a fly but had no choice but to keep it down.

Mo Fan stood still, without moving.

He looked at the crowd in line, then glanced at the six Lockheed Martin numbers on the panel.

Six pieces.

It takes three to make one Wonderful Ball. If you give one to the sisters, you'll only have two left.

Two Rock Bays aren't even enough to make a second ball.

Moreover, these six Lockbells were lent to him by Wind Chime.

Should we make a move?

This thought raced through Mo Fan's mind.

It's not that we can't fight.

His Fire Dance Dragon is level 26, so defeating the two opponents is no problem.

However, some losses are inevitable.

These sisters didn't actually do anything too outrageous. A "hardship fee" of one Locket Coin, while not exactly lucrative, was at least more ethical than what the Mad Dragon Guild did.

but--

What does this have to do with him?

He didn't need the two sisters' protection at all, so it was unreasonable for them to take Locke Bay from him.

As Mo Fan was thinking, the backpack-wearing player next to him came closer again.
