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

This time, a completely new game interface appeared.

Locke Miner

[Game Rules: Control the grappling hook to retrieve treasures buried deep underground.]

The game consists of five levels, each with a different target score.

[After completing the first level, you can purchase auxiliary items in the game shop.]

Before the game begins, players can choose whether to 'enter' the game. Players who choose 'enter' can vote in each level to decide who controls the grappling hook (only one player per level). There is no limit to the number of players who can choose 'enter'.

[Special Rule: According to the Pandonog Tribe Competition, each team can select four pets within the team for 'auxiliary item conversion'.]

The transformation will generate corresponding in-game auxiliary items based on the pet's own characteristics and attributes.

[Note: The specific items to be converted will only be revealed after the conversion.]

Chapter 211 Locke the Miner II

The densely packed rules caused most players to pause and ponder for a moment.

Mo Fan's heart skipped a beat when he saw the words "Locke Miner".

Locke Miners? Gold Miners?

This is another classic mini-game, which was incorporated into the game "Roco Kingdom" as a casual game. However, the current version seems to have added some more interesting changes.

"What are your thoughts?" Murong Jiao turned her gaze to her three teammates.

"There isn't much information, so it's hard to judge," Murong Sha calmly analyzed. "But part of the core gameplay should lie in the 'auxiliary items'."

She looked at everyone and said, "Let's first determine who will be entering and who will be the pets."

"Of course!" Murong Jiao clapped her hands decisively. "The four of us will definitely 'enter' the game! There's strength in numbers. Even if we can't operate at the same time, we can still come up with ideas together."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over the three of them: "As for the pets, let's each choose one for the four of us, that's the fairest. There are five levels in total. Let's see how the first level goes first. If there aren't any major problems, we'll each take one level, taking turns, and no one should try to take it. For the last level, whoever has performed the best so far and is most confident will get to play!"

This is a simple, direct solution that everyone can accept.

“No problem.” Fang Xu nodded immediately. He always unconditionally supported Sister Jiao’s arrangements.

Mo Fan nodded in agreement.

the other side.

"Brother Niu, what do we do?" the underling asked.

"What else can we do? Let's all come together and get it done!" Niu Kuang said nonchalantly, arms crossed, his eyes full of confidence.

"Let's try to take first place in this round!"

Tie Dan's cheers rang out: "Big Brother is awesome!"

Er Mao just stood lazily to the side, seemingly uninterested in it.

On the other side, in Song Chen's team.

"Team leader, what should we do?" a team member asked.

Song Chen pondered for a moment, then said, "All our team members will enter the game. As for the pets to be converted into items, choose the four with the highest level. As for the first level of the game..."

Song Chen looked at Lin Sen.

"Lin Sen, you go up first and lead the charge."

Song Chen made this decision after careful consideration.

The first hurdle is unclear, so he definitely can't go on it himself; it would be troublesome if he messed it up.

But it's not safe to put ordinary team members in this kind of situation. So, Lin Sen is the most suitable candidate.

Lin Sen simply nodded in response.

"Understood, leave it to me."

Then, the three teams stood here.

Song Chen looked at the three clan leaders.

"Three chieftains, we understand the rules of the game. But how do we convert the treasures we obtain through this game into points for this tribal competition?"

The Stone Clan Chief, Tuling, spoke in a deep, booming voice, like the rolling of a millstone.

“It’s very simple.” He pointed to the empty market stalls behind him. “Anything you acquire in the game can be brought out and exchanged for us. Different treasures represent different points. In short, the more the merrier.”

Everyone understood.

To put it simply, this is a game where you earn gold to exchange for points.

“Now that you’re ready,” Turing’s gaze swept over the crowd, “let’s begin.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a notification popped up on everyone's game panel at the same time.

[Enter the game?]

The three teams hardly hesitated.

"Enter!"

"Of course we'll go!"

"All in!"

The next second, the gaze shifted.

The surrounding scenery did not disappear, but a semi-transparent game interface with a retro pixel style covered the front of everyone's vision.

Immediately afterwards, a new notification popped up.

Please select the pets that need to undergo 'auxiliary item conversion'. Each team is limited to four pets.

Mo Fan and his group of four reached a consensus almost instantly.

"One for each person, that's the fairest way." Murong Jiao made the final decision, taking the lead. "I choose the Electric Fox!"

Her words were concise and to the point, without any hesitation.

“I choose the Spirit Fox,” Murong Sha followed closely behind.

Mo Fan pondered for a moment.

"Then I'll choose the Fire-Eyed Lizard."

When it was Fang Xu's turn, he scratched his head, a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.

"Then... I can only choose Seastar." His only pet is Seastar.

After selecting four pets, a streak of light flashed across the panel.

[Pet selection complete, item conversion in progress...]

[Transformation successful! Items obtained: 3 Explosives, 1 Small Vitality Potion.]

Below the panel, two lines of small print clearly explain the function of the item.

[Explosives: When the grappling hook grabs an unwanted item (such as a rock), this item can be used to detonate it directly, saving time.]

[Vitality Potion (Small): After use, slightly increases the grappling hook's retraction speed within this level.]

"Huh?" Murong Jiao stared wide-eyed at the two props, her voice filled with astonishment. "This...this is the Gold Miner, isn't it?"

Her words instantly enlightened everyone.

No wonder they're called Locke Miners, now I know why.

"Then what logic governs the creation of these pet-generated items?" Murong Jiao immediately asked her second question, her little face full of curiosity.

“I suspect…” Murong Sha’s gaze swept across the item list, her blue eyes flashing with analytical light, “Those three explosives should have been generated by the Electric Fox, the Spirit Fox, and the Fire-Eyed Lizard. Their attributes or characteristics all carry the connotation of ‘explosion’ or ‘energy impact’.”

She paused, her gaze falling on the last potion of vitality.

"And this vitality potion should correspond to Fang Xu's Sea Flash Star. Water attribute represents life and vitality, so it makes sense that it can be converted into a speed-enhancing potion."

This explanation was reasonable, and everyone nodded in agreement.

"I see..." Fang Xu suddenly realized.

"So, did we make a profit or a loss in this conversion?" Murong Jiao asked the most crucial question, her arms crossed.

In the game Gold Miner, the choice and use of items directly affect the final score.

After a moment's thought, Murong Sha gave her assessment: "From the current perspective, it cannot be simply described as a profit or loss."

“In Gold Miners, Vitality Potions are usually more valuable than explosives, since speed equals efficiency. But…” She changed the subject, pointing to the small print after the potion, “Fang Xu’s Sea Flash Star generates a ‘Vitality Potion (Small)’, which is less effective. So, in that sense, its actual value is about the same as a single explosive.”

"I estimate that this conversion mechanism is relatively balanced. When we use a regular pet, we get a regular item. It won't generate a world-destroying item just because a certain pet is particularly strong."

After listening to her sister's analysis, Murong Jiao pouted and said, "So, in other words, everyone is basically on the same starting line from the beginning."

She was somewhat disappointed; she had originally hoped that her electric fox could be transformed into some rare and powerful item.

But that's actually quite fair.

Chapter 212 The Gold Miner

At the same time, the transformation items also appeared on the panels of the other two teams.

The style of the Bull Madman Squad is rather unique.

[Transformation successful! Items obtained: 2 dynamite, 1 stone collection book, 1 lucky clover.]

[Stone Collection Book: When used, the value of all stones captured in this level will be tripled.]

[Lucky Clover: When used, it increases the chance of obtaining rewards from lucky bags in this level.]

"A book on collecting stones? What's the use of that? Who would leave gold to dig for stones?" Tie Dan scratched his bald head, looking puzzled.

Niu Kuang chuckled and patted Tie Dan's shoulder with his large, fan-like hand: "You don't know anything! This is a surprise attack! If any level is blocked by rocks, this is our magic weapon to turn the tide!"

Er Mao leaned to one side, lazily yawned, and didn't offer any opinion.

On the other hand, Song Chen's team received rather ordinary props.

[Transformation successful! Obtained items: 3 dynamite, 1 lucky clover.]
