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

After the old woman walked away, the four of them looked at each other.

Having learned their lesson from the "shortcut" they had just used while logging, the same thought popped into the minds of the four of them almost simultaneously.

Murong Jiao was the first to speak, her almond-shaped eyes gleaming with cunning.

"What do you think—would it be okay to use a water-based pet to water the plants?"

Fang Xu reflexively gave a thumbs up: "Big Sister is absolutely right!"

Murong Sha smiled slightly and did not object.

Mo Fan also thought this line of thinking was correct.

Water-carrying for irrigation essentially involves transporting water from river valleys to fields. Water-type pets are naturally able to control water; if they could directly draw water from river valleys, or unleash water-type skills directly above the fields…

That efficiency is incomparable to carrying bucket by bucket.

"Let's go, let's try!" Murong Jiao clapped her hands and turned to walk towards the nearest vacant farmland.

The four of them quickly arrived at a field that had not yet been watered. The soil surface was slightly cracked, and the orange root crops had droopy leaves, indicating that they definitely needed irrigation.

Murong Jiao put one hand on her hip and pointed at Fang Xu with the other, her movements swift and decisive.

"Fang Xu! It's your turn to make a move this time!"

Fang Xu jumped, like a student who had been waiting for ages to finally be called on.

"Boss, watch me!"

He clenched his fist and turned to the round, floating Seafly beside him. Seafly blinked its large, watery eyes, seemingly sensing its master's rising fighting spirit.

"Sea Flash Star!" Fang Xu took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound calm and reliable.

"Try... controlling the water flow to irrigate these farmlands!"

Hai Shan Xing made a "gurgling" sound and turned around with its round body, as if trying to understand its master's command.

It floated above the field, its eyes flashing.

The next moment, it opened its small mouth, and a thin stream of water spurted out—

"Wow—"

The water jets fell onto the field, splashing up a cloud of mud.

The amount of water wasn't large, but... it was definitely water.

"It works! It works!" Fang Xu jumped up excitedly.

But Murong Jiao frowned.

"This is way too thin! It's like a tap..." She put her hands on her hips, looking at the tiny stream of water. "At this rate, how long would it take to irrigate a whole plot of land?"

Indeed. The water flow from Seaflash Star is only slightly faster than carrying water in a wooden bucket. It's far from being considered "efficient irrigation."

"Sea Flash Star, try using the Bubble Spell!" Fang Xu, unwilling to give up, issued a new command.

Seafly nodded in a cute and endearing manner, and then a series of transparent bubbles condensed in its mouth.

The water drifted down into the field, bursting open with a "pop," each bubble releasing a fist-sized glob of water.

It was sprinkled more evenly—but there was less water.

Murong Jiao's lips twitched: "Is this irrigating the field or spraying water?"

Fang Xu's shoulders slumped, and he looked dejected.

"Big Sister, Hai Shanxing is only level 19 right now. He only knows a few skills, and some of those skills are not very powerful, like the Bubble Technique. If he uses it like that, the power is just so-so."

"Water Ripples does produce a large volume of water, but that skill is difficult to control. It could easily wash away your crops..."

"Try it, but control the intensity." Murong Jiao clearly didn't intend to give up easily.

Fang Xu gritted his teeth: "Okay! Sea Flash Star, use water ripples—but be gentle! Gently! Like... washing your face!"

Hai Shanxing tilted his head, seemingly confused by the description "like washing one's face".

But it did as instructed.

A ring of pale blue water rippled outwards from beneath it, spreading outwards in all directions.

The force of the water ripples was indeed much lighter than a normal attack, but it still carried a considerable impact. As the water flowed over the ridges, several short crops were swept aside, and the soil was churned up, turning into a muddy mess.

"Stop!" Murong Jiao shouted.

The sea star shrank back in fright, and the ripples on the water stopped abruptly.

The four looked at the field that had been ravaged by the storm—the crops were not dead, but their crooked and twisted appearance made it look as if a typhoon had just struck.

Fang Xu's face turned pale instantly.

"I...I didn't mean to..."

"You're so stupid!" Murong Jiao slapped Fang Xu on the back of the head, making his pigtails tremble with anger.

Fang Xu covered the back of his head, not daring to utter a sound.

Murong Sha didn't blame them. She stepped forward and carefully examined the fallen crops.

“It’s not a big problem, the roots weren’t damaged. Just straighten it and add more soil.” She said calmly, then looked at Fang Xu, “However, Water Ripple is indeed not suitable for irrigation. The way this skill is released is special, and the energy fluctuations are too strong. Even if you deliberately suppress the intensity, it will still impact the plant.”

"Then... what should we do?" Fang Xu asked dejectedly.

Mo Fan, who had been standing silently to the side for a long time, finally spoke.

"At least the direction is right."

All three of them turned their gazes to him at the same time.

Mo Fan spoke calmly, as if stating a fact: "The problem with Seaflash Star is not its approach, but rather the fact that its water-based skills are not well-suited to irrigation. Without using skills, the amount of water it can control is too small. With skills, Bubble Spell is unsuitable, and Water Ripple is too difficult to control its impact."

He paused, his gaze falling on Hai Shanxing.

"Of course, this is also related to level. The higher the level, the stronger the finer control over skills. But at this stage, it is indeed not appropriate to use these two skills to cultivate."

Fang Xu's shoulders slumped even lower, and he looked like a wilted eggplant.

However, the next second, Mo Fan took out another Gulu Ball.

Chapter 195 Breaking Past Rules

This action startled all three people present.

"Mo Fan, you..." Murong Jiao's almond-shaped eyes widened slightly.

Mo Fan didn't explain, but lightly pressed his fingertips against the sphere.

A white light burst forth.

A round, deep blue pet, seemingly made entirely of water, appeared beside the field. It was slightly larger than Hai Shanxing, its body shimmering with a faint watery light, and its clear, large eyes curiously surveyed its surroundings.

Popola floated in mid-air, looked around, and finally obediently landed beside Mo Fan.

“This is—” Murong Sha’s pupils contracted slightly as she recognized it first.

"Popola?!"

Murong Jiao couldn't help but take two steps closer, her twin ponytails swinging wildly, her almond-shaped eyes wide like copper bells.

"The evolved form of Aquamarine, one of the three starter Pokémon!" Her voice was filled with disbelief. "Mo Fan, you—you actually have Aquamarine? And it has already evolved into Popop ...

She circled around Popola once, as if to confirm that she wasn't seeing things.

"And you're level 18!" Fang Xu's voice was full of envy, his eyes practically sparkling. "Mo Fan, you're too strong!"

Mo Fan did not respond to the three of them.

He gently patted Bobora's round head with one hand, his voice steady.

"Bobora".

Bobo raised her head, her clear eyes meeting Mo Fan's gaze. She made a "gurgling" sound, indicating that she was listening.

"Try using the Water God Spear to irrigate this field in front of you."

Mo Fan pointed to a patch of farmland next to him that hadn't been watered yet, and then added, "Be careful with the watering. Don't damage the crops."

Popopola tilted her head, seemingly deep in thought.

Then--

It puffed out its cheeks and its body trembled slightly.

The next instant, a highly compressed jet of water shot out from its mouth.

However, this jet of water was not a violent, straight spray.

After the water shoots out of the popola's mouth, it spreads slightly in mid-air, like a transparent water fan, evenly covering the crops and turning into dense, tiny water droplets, like a precise artificial rain, gently sprinkling on the fields.

Water droplets fell on the orange leaves of the root crops, making a soft "rustling" sound.

There was no impact.

There was no mud splashing.

Even the slender vines remained completely still.

The cracked soil greedily absorbed the moisture, its color gradually changing from light gray to a moist, dark brown. The leaves, which had been drooping slightly, visibly unfurled.

A few seconds later, Popora stopped the water flow.

A field—most of it has already been thoroughly irrigated.

The entire room was silent for a full two seconds.

"Oh my god!" Murong Jiao was the first to react, exclaiming in surprise.

Fang Xu was completely stunned. His mouth was agape, his gaze shifting back and forth between Bobora and his own Sea Flash Star, his expression a complex mix of jealousy and admiration.

"This...this is way too different, isn't it?" Fang Xu's voice was filled with disbelief.

Both are water-type pets and are at roughly the same level—Sea Star's spray is as thin as a tap, while Popola's spray is like a precise and controllable miniature irrigation system.

"Mo Fan." Murong Sha's gaze fell on Popola, and after observing it for a few seconds, she spoke, her tone carrying a hint of inquiry, "Your Popola's control over water... seems to far surpass that of other water-type pets of the same level. How did you do that?"

Mo Fan stood up, his expression unchanged.
