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

The knight's phantom vanished completely, but his words lingered in the ears of the four.

[Challenge 4 successful.]

The light in the stone chamber dimmed for a moment. Mo Fan leaned back in his chair, looking at his health bar, which was now only a sliver of health left, and let out a long breath.

"That was close." Murong Sha wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

Murong Jiao also looked shaken, patting her chest: "This fourth level is simply inhuman, the opponent's deck is too luxurious."

Fang Xu sat there in a daze.

"Did you hear that? That phantom knight can actually talk?"

Mo Fan nodded: "I heard that. I originally thought this knight phantom was just like a game NPC. But I didn't expect..."

Murong Sha spoke up: "With the game 'Rock Kingdom' now integrated with reality, anything is possible. The future is uncertain."

Fang Xu then asked with some concern, "If the fourth level is this difficult, what will the fifth level be like? What if we lose?"

Don't worry!

Murong Jiao then revealed a big smile.

"Hehe, it's worth it as long as we get through the fourth level. The fact that the four of us, who are all so skilled, could have such a tough time in the fourth level is enough to prove how challenging it is!"

"If it were another team, they probably wouldn't even be able to get past the fourth level!"

"So even if we lose the fifth round, it doesn't matter!"

"Just keep a calm mind!"

Hearing Murong Jiao's unexpected words of comfort and encouragement, Fang Xu felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey, and his eyes welled up with tears.

"Big Sister, you're a born leader! I, Fang Xu, will follow you to the death for the rest of my life!"

Murong Jiao was momentarily stunned by Fang Xu's words.

"Don't try that on me, it's kind of scary."

Alright, alright, get ready, let's move on to level five!

After a short rest, they discussed tactics again.

The four players will now begin the fifth and final level!

The rune in the center of the card table lit up again.

This time, however, the light was no longer a dazzling white, but a deep, dark blue.

The surrounding void began to crumble, and the scene rapidly reconstructed. The once empty card room gradually revealed rows of old bookshelves, and the air was filled with the smell of old parchment mixed with ink.

[Level 5, the final level.]

The light and shadow on the main seat slowly coalesced.

This time, what appeared was no longer the blurry, indistinct battle phantom made of pure energy.

He was a middle-aged man who looked quite clear and real.

He had a head of light brown, center-parted curly hair, slightly messy with a few stray strands falling across his forehead. A pair of round-framed glasses perched on his nose, and behind the lenses, his eyes held an indescribable melancholy and world-weariness.

He wore a faded khaki trench coat over a dark shirt, and multi-pocket cargo trousers. He exuded the air of a scholar who spent most of his time in laboratories or libraries.

At his feet lay a semi-transparent afterimage of a pet.

The pet was covered in a striking yellow and blue color scheme. Most notably, its hairstyle resembled an inverted lightning bolt, sharp and flamboyant. Aside from its hairstyle, its torso and limbs were normal humanoid structures, with its arms crossed over its chest, exuding an air of untamed defiance.

The moment Mo Fan saw the middle-aged man and his pet, his pupils suddenly contracted.

An extremely strong sense of familiarity welled up in my heart.

That light brown, center-parted curly hair...those round-framed glasses...that trench coat...

And that yellow and blue pet with the lightning bolt hairstyle!

"This look... it's so similar..." Mo Fan frantically searched his memory for anything from the closed beta. There were so many characters in the game, but he felt that this melancholy middle-aged man in front of him definitely had a place in the game's backstory.

Murong Jiao and Murong Sha also noticed the unusual atmosphere.

"This guy... feels completely different from the phantoms in the previous levels." Murong Jiao lowered her voice and unconsciously sat up straight.

Just then, the middle-aged man who had been silent slowly raised his head.

He pushed up his glasses and looked past the card table, quietly observing Mo Fan and the other two.

Then, he actually started to speak.

His voice was deep, with a slightly hoarse, magnetic quality, as if it had traveled through the ages.

"It's not bad that you made it this far," the middle-aged man sighed, tapping the table lightly with his long, slender fingers. "However, I won't show any mercy."

"Let's begin."

-

The card selection panel reappeared before my eyes.

Mo Fan stared at the three pet slots on the panel, his fingertips hovering in mid-air, not falling for a long time.

His strategy for the first four levels was to gradually increase the number of units – one unit in the first level, two units in the second level, two units in the third level, and only three units in the fourth level.

But the opponent in this fifth level is clearly not comparable to those phantoms from before.

"We need to change our approach."

Mo Fan's gaze fell on the Fire Dragon icon.

A pet that he deliberately avoided in the earlier levels and never brought out.

Fire Dance Dragon has two main attributes—Fire and Dragon.

When he chose the Fire-Eyed Lizard and the other two, each of them only had a single attribute, resulting in three cards of that attribute.

What if we replace it with Fire Dragon Dance?

When a pet with two main attributes changes attribute cards, are three cards counted as one attribute, or three cards counted as each attribute?

It's not written in the rules.

It wasn't mentioned in the panel prompts either.

However, the rules do state that "the selected pet's attributes will be converted into attribute cards, three cards for each attribute".

Three cards for each attribute.

Mo Fan chewed over these five words twice.

If we interpret it strictly according to its literal meaning...

The Fire Dance Dragon has two attributes: Fire and Dragon. There are three of each. So there should be six.

Chapter 166 Walker and Kurapika

The reason he didn't choose the Fire Dragon Dance in the earlier levels was because he wanted to try and find a loophole.

What if you successfully exploited the vulnerability in the earlier levels, but it was discovered and then fixed?

Therefore, Mo Fan only dared to try this final hurdle.

By the time the game starts, it will be too late to fix it.

"Let's take a gamble."

Once the decision was made, Mo Fan no longer hesitated.

He removed Popora from the conversion box and dragged Fire Dance Dragon in.

Inside the conversion box, three pets are arranged side by side.

Oasis Mammoth – Grassland.

Fire-Eyed Lizard - Rock type.

Fire Dance Dragon - Fire and Dragon type.

confirm.

The next second, the data on the panel started to fluctuate.

[Attribute card conversion complete.]

[Stone Attribute Card x3]

[Grass-type cards x3]

[Fire Attribute Cards x3]

[Dragon Attribute Cards x3]

Mo Fan's pupils suddenly contracted.

Twelve.

Of his twenty-four cards, twelve are fixed-attribute cards. The remaining twelve are random.

Fixed cards accounted for half of the total.

It became.

The conversion mechanism for dual-attribute pets is indeed executed according to the "three cards for each attribute" rule. The Fire and Dragon attributes of the Fire Dance Dragon are converted independently without any conflict.

what does this mean?

This means Mo Fan has a significantly increased number of controllable cards. The twelve fixed cards cover four attributes—Stone, Grass, Fire, and Dragon. Combined with Murong Jiao's versatile Electric card, their side's attribute coverage has been further enhanced!

Mo Fan remained expressionless as he scanned the cards that had been turned over.

The twelve fixed cards were neatly arranged, and the remaining twelve random cards did not disappoint him either—they were all very orderly.

This hand is truly luxurious.

"I've made my choice." Mo Fan looked up, his tone calm.

Murong Jiao tilted her head and glanced at him: "You're pretty quick."

Fang Xu was still the first to finish—after all, he only had Sea Flash Star.
