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

Mo Fan: "......"

"No need." He said calmly, turning to leave.

Girl with pigtails: "No need? You're quite stubborn! But you have to use it whether you want to or not! My word is law!"

Mo Fan stopped again, glanced back at her, and remained silent for two seconds, seemingly processing this sudden "domineering" logic.

Mo Fan: "......"

For some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu about this scene, like a domineering CEO forcing love.

He looked at the other person and uttered a sentence.

"Don't do that, I don't like being a kept man."

The girl with pigtails blushed, but quickly regained her composure: "What nonsense! You can't leave anyway!"

Mo Fan sighed, seemingly somewhat helpless, but his eyes remained calm: "So what exactly do you want? I'm going to explore the secret realm now."

Seeing that his attitude had softened a bit, the girl with pigtails immediately became smug: "After I finish collecting these people's Locke's, I'll take you to explore the secret realm. Wait here for a bit, it'll be quick!"

The girl with the single ponytail, who was not far behind her, walked over and added in a cool voice, "It's definitely safer to travel with more people than alone. And..." She glanced at Mo Fan, "You dared to stand up just now, which means you're not someone who's afraid of trouble. Following us might be more efficient."

Mo Fan's gaze swept over the two sisters, then looked at the players queuing in the distance.

He thought about it for a moment.

The whereabouts of Zhao Mingyuan and the others are currently unknown. This secret realm is extremely vast, and exploring alone is indeed inefficient and prone to missing information. Moreover, if they encounter danger, it is easy for a person to run into trouble.

These sisters are incredibly powerful, and although their style of doing things is somewhat "unique," they don't seem to have any real malice for the time being.

"Okay." Mo Fan finally nodded, his tone devoid of emotion. "Wait until you've finished collecting them."

When the girl with pigtails saw that he had agreed, her face immediately lit up with a smile, as if she had won a battle.

"That's more like it!" She patted Mo Fan's shoulder with considerable force. "From now on, you'll stick with me, and I guarantee you'll live the high life!"

Mo Fan subtly shifted his body to the side, dodging her second slap, and walked to the side to lean against a tree, no longer speaking, clearly not intending to continue the conversation.

The girl with pigtails didn't seem to mind, humming a little tune as she turned back to continue her "work".

Next, the queue continued to form in front of the alchemy cauldron. Players stepped forward one by one, adding materials, placing in Locobes, and synthesizing a Gulu Ball. The process went quite smoothly, as the recipe and operation were not complicated. However, after each person paid the synthesis fee of three Locobes, they had to take out an extra one and hand it to the twin-tailed girl standing to supervise. Each time one was handed over, the twin-tailed girl would let out an exaggerated "Oh ho!" as if she had received some extraordinary tribute.

The girl with the single ponytail stood to the side without saying a word, but the fox spirit squatted at her feet, its dark blue eyes constantly watching the surrounding movements, serving as both a deterrent and a warning.

When it was the backpacker's turn, he walked forward hesitantly, a fawning smile plastered on his face.

"Um... big sister," he said cautiously to the girl with pigtails, "could I not pay the Locke's fee? Actually, I have a strong sense of justice. If those people hadn't been causing trouble earlier, I definitely would have..."

The girl with pigtails glared at them, hands on her hips: "No way! Enough talk, hand it over now!"

The backpack player immediately deflated, obediently taking out one Rockberry from the panel and handing it over, muttering, "Oh, my Rockberry..."

And so it went, one after another. About half an hour later, the last player also finished synthesizing. The girl with pigtails looked at the nearly 40 extra Locke's in the panel with satisfaction, her eyes curving into crescents, almost bursting into laughter.

She originally thought she would only get about 20, but she didn't expect that some players had two sets of materials and made two Gulu Balls, so naturally she also handed over two Locke Bays.

"Hehehe... I'm rich, I'm rich..." she muttered, occasionally letting out a suppressed, silly laugh, a stark contrast to her arrogant and demanding manner before.

The girl with the single ponytail shook her head helplessly, walked over and patted her sister on the shoulder: "Alright, stop grinning like an idiot, let's get ready to go."

The girl with pigtails dusted off her hands and turned to walk towards Mo Fan. Her pigtails swayed gently with each step, making her appear radiant.

"Let's go, let's go!"

She took out five Locke Coins from the Gulu Ball space and stuffed them into Mo Fan's hand without saying a word.

"Well, since I'm going to take you on as my underling, I can't leave you without giving you something in return. Here are five Rockbell coins!"

Mo Fan looked down at the five Locke coins shimmering with a pale golden luster in his palm, then looked up at the smiling girl in front of him, and was speechless for a moment.

—What is this? A bribe to appease the government?

He wanted to say something, but the girl with pigtails patted his shoulder with the same force as always.

"From now on, follow me, and you'll get plenty of benefits!"

After saying that, without waiting for Mo Fan's response, she skipped and hopped towards the dense forest, waving to the girl with the single ponytail as she went: "Little sister, let's go!"

The girl with the single ponytail nodded slightly to Mo Fan as a greeting, then followed him. The spirit fox behind her also rose silently, its long blue-gray tail swaying gently in the air as it caught up with its master.

Mo Fan stood still, looking down at the five Locke's in his palm.

To be honest, he hadn't originally planned to accept the five Lockheed Martins.

But five Rock Bays... might as well take them.

This can't exactly be considered charity, can it?

After thinking for a moment, Mo Fan finally put the Locke Bay into his backpack.

Anyway, he didn't really have a close relationship with these sisters; they were just temporary companions. Since they were willing to give, he didn't need to be coy.

After putting away the Locke Bay, Mo Fan followed the three people in front of him.

He had only taken a few steps when he heard hurried footsteps behind him.

"Wait! Wait!"

Chapter 157 Casual Chat

It was that backpack player.

He caught up, panting, his backpack bouncing and clattering behind him. When he reached him, he braced himself on his knees, gasping for breath.

"Phew... Phew... I finally caught up with you guys..."

The girl with pigtails stopped and tilted her head to look at him, her eyes filled with curiosity and scrutiny.

"What? Is there anything else?"

The backpack-wearing player straightened up, looking at the two girls with a pleading expression, and then at Mo Fan.

"Um..." He rubbed his hands together, forcing a fawning smile, "Could you... take me with you?"

He nervously swallowed, trying to make his expression look as sincere as possible.

The girl with pigtails raised an eyebrow.

Seeing that she didn't immediately refuse, the backpacker quickly added, "My pet is also level 16, it won't hold you back! Really!"

He spoke very quickly, as if afraid of being interrupted.

After saying that, he looked at Mo Fan for help, his eyes filled with urgency and expectation.

The meaning couldn't be clearer.

"Bro, can you put in a good word for me?"

Mo Fan looked at him but did not answer immediately.

He paused for two seconds, his gaze sweeping over the slightly nervous face of the backpack player.

This person had been beside him from the beginning, chattering incessantly, sometimes advising him not to be a troublemaker, sometimes cheering for the dismissal of the Mad Dragon Guild members. Although he talked a lot, he didn't seem like a bad person.

Moreover... his personality is indeed not suited for exploring secret realms alone.

Adhering to the principle that more people mean more help.

Mo Fan turned to look at the girl with pigtails and nodded slightly.

The girl with pigtails looked at Mo Fan, then at the player with the backpack, tilted her head, and pondered for a moment.

"alright."

She finally nodded, and a smile returned to her face.

"But you have to listen to me! If I say go east, you can't go west! If I say attack someone, you have to rush up and attack them! Understand?"

The backpack user was immediately overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

"Understood, understood! Whatever the boss says goes!"

The girl with pigtails was amused by the title "Big Sister," and her eyes curved into two crescent moons.

"You're on the right track!"

She waved her hand.

"Let's go! Let's set off!"

And so, the four of them, along with a fox and an electric fox, marched into the depths of the dense forest.

............

Sunlight filtered through the dense canopy of trees, casting dappled shadows on the ground. The air was filled with the scent of earth and plants, and occasionally, the calls of unknown birds drifted from afar.

The backpacker walked in the middle of the group, his mouth never stopping.

"By the way, boss lady, what are your names? We can't just keep calling you boss lady, can we?"

The girl with pigtails walked in front and answered without turning her head, "My name is Murong Jiao, and my sister's name is Murong Sha."

Upon hearing this, Mo Fan glanced at Murong Sha with some surprise.

He never expected that the seemingly composed Murong Sha was actually his younger sister.

Is the lively Murong Jiao actually the older sister?

Noticing Mo Fan's gaze, Murong Jiao gave him an annoyed look.

"What are you looking at? Do you think I don't resemble my older sister at all?"

As the younger brother, you need to learn to be more sensible.

Murong Sha explained, "We are twins, so we should have been born at the same time. It's just that Ajiao was brought out a minute earlier than me."

Murong Jiao immediately emphasized, "Then I'm an older sister too!"

Murong Sha simply smiled and didn't refute anything.

Clearly, over the years, they have come to accept this sisterly relationship.

"By the way, what are your names?"

"My name is Fang Xu! You can call me Xiao Fang or A Xu!" Fang Xu, the backpacker, immediately introduced himself, then looked at Mo Fan, "Brother, what's yours?"
