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

The Yunhai Chamber of Commerce in Yunhai City spent a lot of money to recruit a group of beta testers, and with the help of those beta testers, they established a guild called the Yunhai Guild.

The benefits offered by the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce are quite generous.

They claim that any mage with a pet of sufficient potential who joins their guild will be provided with a basic Gulu Ball and offered a high salary of 50,000 yuan per month.

Those who perform exceptionally well in the future will receive further improvements in their compensation.

In no time, many people who own pets flocked to the Cloud Sea Guild to register.

However, the Cloud Sea Guild's recruitment criteria are quite strict, with a very comprehensive set of evaluation standards. Many people's pets failed to meet the requirements.

……

Meanwhile, on the Vesuvius volcano's crust, Mo Fan was still leveling up.

But just then, he suddenly came across something very interesting.

After yet another Firebird was defeated by Aqua Blue, a stone with flame patterns suddenly appeared on the spot.

[Drop: Fire Eyebrows Skill Stone x1]

Mo Fan approached and picked it up.

[Fire on the Eyebrows: A skill stone exclusive to Fire-type pets. Power 80, PP 15. After use, grants immunity to sleep for 3-6 turns. Can be learned at level 30.]

"It's actually this skill stone." Mo Fan's eyes flashed with surprise as he looked at the stone.

This is similar to the game; you have a chance to obtain it by defeating the Firebird in the Vesuvius crust map.

However, I didn't expect that he could get it so easily this time.

"It was an unexpected bonus."

After grinding for so long, all of his pets' stats have been almost depleted.

And this time was very fruitful – Fire Dance Dragon was upgraded to level 16, Water Blue Blue to level 15, Oasis Mammoth to level 12, and Fire-Eyed Lizard to level 10.

In addition, I also obtained the "Burning Eyebrows" skill stone and ten Locke's Coins.

Of course, there's also the unknown fire element talent.

With these gains, Mo Fan left the instance with satisfaction.

……

After leaving the instance, Mo Fan sent a message to Zhao Mingyuan, asking how he was doing.

At this very moment, Zhao Mingyuan was directing Little T-shirt and his guard dog in the pet park as they battled against the dandelions.

With the addition of a guardian dog to the team, Zhao Mingyuan has gained much more from the petting zoo than before.

The Guardian Dog's initial skills include the Demon-type skill Frenzy Bite, with a power of 60.

The dandelion is a dual-type pet, combining the grass and cute elements. The demon type is effective against the cute type, and its skill with a power of 60 is extremely rare among pets below level 10.

In this kind of battle, a skill with 60 power could very well kill the opponent in one hit.

Therefore, the guard dog's level increases very quickly, and it even shows a tendency to surpass the little T-shirt.

After learning about Zhao Mingyuan's situation, Mo Fan expressed his understanding.

Then he sent a message to Wind Chime.

"Where are you now? Have you been to the Oceanographic Museum in Mermaid Bay or the Genos Shallow Sea? Are there any special hidden treasures or other magic tests there?"

Mo Fan has one more chance to enter the instance today, so he wants to go to Mermaid Bay to check the situation.

But before that, he wanted to ask if Feng Ling'er had already been there.

If you've been there, it would be great to get some information from them.

After all, why bother exploring on your own when you can get something for free?

Soon, Feng Ling'er's message arrived:

"I'm currently in the Somia Grassland, and haven't been to Mermaid Bay yet. If you go there and discover anything, please let me know."

At the same time the message was sent, Mo Fan also received a screenshot.

Chapter 40 Evolution?

In the screenshot, at this very moment, in front of the layered stone of the Somia Grassland, Feng Ling'er summoned four pets in front of her—namely, Duo Ling, a magnificent swan, Spark, and a white-haired lazy man.

Mo Fan was extremely surprised:

"You actually caught a white-haired lazybones? Didn't you run out of your Gulu Balls?"

In response, Feng Ling'er replied, "I have a clever plan."

Feng Ling'er was unusually playful for once, perhaps because she had become more familiar with Mo Fan.

"..." Mo Fan was speechless.

Wind Chime then spoke the truth:

"My reward from the treasure map is a regular Gulu Ball."

Upon seeing this answer, Mo Fan nodded knowingly.

Then, he asked a question he had really wanted to ask:

"Are the white-haired lazy character's base stats the same as in the game?"

In the game, the white-haired lazy guy can evolve into the Sleepy King at level 36.

That means you can have a base stat total of 670 at level 36.

However, pets like the Fire Dance Dragon, which also have very high base stats, have a fatal flaw—they generally can only evolve at level 40 or 60.

Level 36 is much, much earlier than level 60.

When the same level but different base stats clash, the outcome will only be one-sided.

If the base stats are the same as in the game, then Mo Fan should capture a white-haired lazy guy as soon as possible. That way, he can get a lot of help and prevent his combat power from being surpassed by others.

Next, however, Feng Ling'er sent Mo Fan a very special reply:

"I suspect that the evolution of pets may be completely different from that in the game."

You can't judge the evolution of these pets by the evolution levels in the game.

For example, the white-haired lazy person, I doubt that it could evolve into the Sleepy King before level 60.

The higher a pet's base stats are, the more demanding the conditions may be for it to evolve.

That's just the game—the initial settings in the game can't be easily changed later, which is why there's the setting where the white-haired lazy guy evolves into the Sleepy King at level 36.

But now that the game has become a reality, everything is different.

Upon seeing the message from Feng Ling'er, Mo Fan's eyes flashed with a thoughtful expression.

After all, the information about pets in the data panel doesn't mention what level they need to reach to evolve.

"If I remember correctly, Aqua Blue evolves into Popola at level sixteen. We'll see when the time comes," Mo Fan thought to himself.

After learning about the two's situation, Mo Fan stopped thinking about it.

After the pets recovered, they re-entered the secret realm dungeon.

A flash of light.

The sea breeze gently caressed my face.

Mermaid Bay, Mo Fan has returned here again.

Of course, this time Mo Fan didn't fight the Big Tail Fish and the Flat Shell again, but instead explored the surrounding area.

According to the original game settings, to enter Genos Shallow Sea from Mermaid Bay, one needs to go through the Ocean Research Institute and then learn the Water Repelling Spell from an NPC.

However, as Mo Fan looked around, it seemed that there was no marine research institute in this Mermaid Bay.

With that in mind, Mo Fan pondered and turned his gaze to the ocean ahead.

Mo Fan summoned Shui Lanlan and walked towards the ocean ahead.

Once summoned, Shui Lanlan became very lively, as if the ocean were its playground.

Just as Mo Fan approached the ocean, a notification sound from the control panel rang out again.

Should we enter the shallow waters of Genos?

"Just as I thought," Mo Fan thought to himself. Since there were no NPCs to guide them, the method of entering was similar to that of the Vesuvius crust.

"Yes!"

[Genos Shallow Sea, Entry Requirements: Pet level 10, learned Azure Water Spell.]

The pet is level 10, but has not yet learned the Water Repellent spell.

[Requirements for learning the Azure Water Spell: Mage level 1, possess a water-type pet.]

[You meet the learning requirements. Do you wish to begin the trial to learn the Water-Repelling Spell?]

"Yes!"

[The Trial Begins—Feel the Breath of the Ocean!]

Immediately afterwards, two whirlpools suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea, right beneath Mo Fan and Shui Lanlan's feet. Then, the two were swallowed up by the whirlpools.

The next moment, Mo Fan and Shui Lanlan appeared in an ocean.

However, Shui Lanlan moved freely in the water, while Mo Fan was enveloped in a bubble.

[Trial Content: In the depths of the ocean, which nurtures endless life, many pearls are born, and these pearls contain abundant water essence.]

The magician needs to command his pet to go into the sea to retrieve these pearls and bring them back to the magician. The pearls can prolong the duration of the water-repelling spell bubbles.

The water-repelling spell lasts for five minutes, at which point the task is considered complete.

Otherwise, it will be considered a failure. This trial can only be triggered once per day.

The notification sound from the panel rang again.

At that moment, Mo Fan also noticed a countdown timer appearing in front of him—thirty seconds.

"!"
