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

Of course, this contempt is also based on solid confidence.

The level 25 Music Ball is indeed an overwhelming presence among players at this stage.

only......

Lin Sen's gaze darkened slightly.

This time, he still felt that Song Chen's actions had gone too far.

Taking advantage of the surrounding noise, Lin Sen stepped forward again, lowering his voice and speaking more earnestly.

"Team Leader Song, look at how resentful they all are. What if things really do happen next..."

Before he could finish speaking, Song Chen let out a cold laugh.

He tilted his head and glanced at Lin Sen out of the corner of his eye.

"Captain Lin."

The three words, neither too heavy nor too light, carried a condescending patience, like an adult correcting a child's misconceptions.

"You're just being narrow-minded."

Lin Sen's smile froze for a moment.

Song Chen finally turned his head away, a cold smile on his lips.

"You don't actually think that I'm taking all eighteen spots just because I'm arrogant, do you?"

"Then you're really mistaken."

Lin Sen casually pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses: "I'd like to hear the details."

Song Chen's lips curled up, revealing a knowing smile.

"Think about it yourself—this teleportation array leads to a special area, and there must be good things in that special area, you can't deny that, can you?"

Lin Sen nodded slightly.

“So, if we can take all the spots, only the seven of us will be sent over.” Song Chen held up a finger, his tone becoming increasingly certain. “Then, all the resources and good stuff over there will be—ours.”

He paused, then changed the subject.

"Conversely, what if we were to act out of kindness and allocate the spots to others?"

"Once we get to that special area, there will be a lot of people and gossip. Who knows if they'll start fighting over resources? We'll have to defend against outsiders and compete for treasures at the same time, which will only increase the uncertainty."

"so--"

Song Chen turned around to face Lin Sen directly, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"Rather than having a conflict over resources later, it's better to prevent that possibility from happening in the first place."

Lin Sen frowned slightly.

Undeniably, Song Chen's logic is self-consistent.

From the perspective of maximizing benefits, monopolizing a spot is indeed the optimal solution.

but......

“That’s true,” Lin Sen said carefully, “but what if a conflict actually breaks out on our side because of this—”

"There are seven of us against dozens of people. If these people here unite..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was already very clear.

Song Chen sneered again.

This time, his laughter even carried a hint of contempt.

I understand your concerns.

He raised his chin, his gaze sweeping over the group of chattering players as if they were ants.

"But with this rabble?"

"Captain Lin, you've been in this line of work for quite some time now. There are some things I don't need to teach you, right?"

Lin Sen did not respond.

Song Chen's voice lowered even further, tinged with sarcasm.

"Captain Lin, human nature is very simple. The tougher we are, the more cowardly they become. The vast majority of these people are lone wolves, without organization, without cooperation, and without a single person who can lead the charge."

His lips curled up, revealing a knowing smile.

"They were the same people before the world changed—going to work, squeezing onto the subway, and having to watch other people's faces—and even after the world changed, they're still exactly the same. They can't turn the world upside down."

Lin Sen opened his mouth.

In the end, nothing was said.

He pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up, concealing the complex emotions that flashed across his eyes.

Perhaps you're right. Most people are indeed like that—when oppressed by someone powerful, they dare not resist. This is a fundamental human flaw that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

but......

Lin Sen's gaze swept over the crowd with remarkable ease.

The scanning trajectory seemed random, but it was actually precise—it eventually stopped at a certain point on the outskirts of the crowd, on the young man standing next to two girls with pigtails and one with a single ponytail, his expression calm to the point of indifference.

Mo Fan.

Lin Sen sighed almost imperceptibly.

There are always exceptions, Team Leader Song.

I'm afraid there might be someone among these people that you can't handle.

Lin Sen had no idea what level Mo Fan's pet was at.

But he can be sure.

Mo Fan's pet level is definitely no weaker than Song Chen's.

Even—it's very likely that he'll be even higher than Song Chen.

This is not a blind guess.

The scene from the ancient cocoa tree secret realm was still vivid in Lin Sen's mind. The fire dragon that descended from the sky almost crushed everyone present with overwhelming force.

At that time, Fire Dance Dragon had already demonstrated terrifying strength far exceeding that of other pets of the same level.

Moreover, quite some time has passed since that secret realm.

With Mo Fan's abilities, his pets' levels will only go higher.

Moreover, in Lin Sen's opinion, even disregarding the factor of rank, Mo Fan is definitely stronger than Song Chen.

the reason is simple.

Song Chen is a product of connections.

His level 25 Music Ball is less a testament to his strength and more a product of accumulated resources. The top-tier resources from the Law Elder Guild headquarters and the preferential support from his family are the fundamental reasons for his pet's rapid level increase.

Moreover, Song Chen was not a top player during the closed beta testing period.

His understanding of pets, his intuition for combat, his judgment of the situation... these are things that require years of honing, not something that can be achieved by simply throwing resources at him.

The key is.

Ultimately, Music Ball isn't a pet with exceptional potential.

In the pet system of the game "Roco Kingdom," the Music Ball is at best a mid-tier pet. Currently, it can be used to out-level the opponent, but once the level difference is narrowed in the later stages...

That's its limit.

But what about Mo Fan?

Top players during the closed beta period.

His main pet is the Fire Dance Dragon.

That's a Tier 0 pet.

A true divine pet.

It has immense potential.

If a fight really breaks out...

Lin Sen silently made a judgment in his mind.

Song Chen will definitely lose.

Moreover, they are likely to lose badly.

But he couldn't say these things to her face.

He had figured out Song Chen's personality very well—the more you remind him that someone is very strong, the more disdainful he becomes and the more he tries to target them.

Moreover, Lin Sen didn't actually want to say it.

He simply put his business smile back on his face, took a half step back, and returned to where he belonged.

He also had his own plans.

-

Meanwhile.

After a brief period of suppression, the emotions of the crowd finally erupted again.

"So what if your pet is a high level?!"

A hot-blooded young player stepped forward first, his face flushed, and shouted angrily at Song Chen.

"We have forty or fifty people here! We're not afraid of just seven of you!"

That shout seemed to ignite a fuse.

"Exactly! You can't take all eighteen spots!"

Another burly man chimed in, his booming voice making the leaves tremble.

"You have to leave us a few! Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!"
