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

Overhead, the warm sunlight shone through the gaps in the branches and leaves, falling on my body and making me feel warm and cozy.

A gentle spring breeze swept through the woods, carrying the fragrance of grass and trees, and softly brushed against my cheeks.

At this moment, there was no danger of the secret realm, no conflict between players, only tranquility and comfort. Mo Fan's tense nerves gradually relaxed, and a thought suddenly arose in his mind:

If we could continue to live such a peaceful life, that would be a blessing.

But the thought only flashed through his mind before he snapped back to reality.

In this world, there is no such thing as peace that comes out of thin air. To live a peaceful life, one must have sufficient strength, wealth, and influence as a foundation.

After all, just because you don't actively seek out trouble doesn't mean trouble won't come knocking on your door. Where there are people, there are thoughts; where there are thoughts, there are desires; and where there are desires, there will always be conflict.

Just like his college life, he only wanted to live a peaceful life, but all sorts of trivial troubles would always come knocking on his door, and he couldn't escape them.

"The great waves wash away the sand. You may not want to go with the flow, but the current will always push you forward. If you insist on standing still, you will eventually be washed away by the great waves and become dust."

Mo Fan gazed at the flowing river, his eyes gradually hardening.

"To safeguard peace and stability, to establish a foothold in this world, one must possess sufficient power. I, Mo Fan, am determined to stand at the forefront of this world!"

Time passed slowly, and the process of fishing was tedious and tedious.

The oasis mammoth's trunk remained submerged in the water, showing no signs of life. The other players nearby also found nothing, and the atmosphere gradually became dull.

"What kind of lousy game is this? The fish are so hard to catch! Are there even any fish in this river? And what are the rewards anyway?"

"It must be because our tools are too rubbish. In the real world, you couldn't catch any fish with this broken tree branch!"

"Forget it, I'm clumsy and can't make good fishing gear, and I don't have a fishing pet, so I give up, I'm not fishing anymore!"

The group sighed and looked disheartened, already considering giving up.

Just then, the player who had tied foxtail grass with straw rope to make a fishing rod suddenly shuddered and shouted excitedly, "Got it! A fish has taken the bait!"

Everyone perked up instantly and turned to look. They saw that the simple tree branch fishing rod in his hand was trembling slightly and the rod was bending gently, indicating that something was biting the hook underwater.

The player was overjoyed and quickly pulled the rod upwards with all his might. But the next second, there was a loud "bang" as he slipped and fell heavily backwards to the ground, looking utterly disheveled.

Looking at his fishing rod again, the grass rope was still intact, but the foxtail grass at the end had been bitten off by the fish, and the grass rope was also torn open, leaving it empty. It was clear that the fish that was about to be caught had escaped.

"Damn it! That's too much! They gave me hope and then let me down. I can't fish like this anymore!" The player was so angry that his face turned red. He threw the broken fishing rod on the ground and lost all interest in fishing.

The others also abandoned any thought of leaving, and simply stood aside, quietly watching Mo Fan and the player who had the Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles, waiting to see if the two could catch any fish.

Time continued to pass by, second by second.

Fortunately, the player who had the Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles had a 60% success rate, which was no joke.

Just then, his pet Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles finally made a move—ripples appeared on the surface of the water.

"For Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles, this is the moment to pull the stuff up from below!"

Immediately afterwards, the two noodles of the Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles were pulled outwards with a sudden jerk, and in an instant, a fish was pulled out.

The other players around couldn't wait to ask:

"What's the use of this fish, buddy?"

"Is it edible or something? Or does it give pets experience points?"

"Does it have an effect similar to those spirit stones?"

The player who successfully caught the fish said, "Don't rush, don't rush, let me see first."

He then began to examine it on his own. A moment later, a look of surprise flashed across his face, but then his brow furrowed in worry.

"What exactly happened? Tell us quickly! Damn, we're so anxious!"

Then, the player said, "These fish themselves don't have any special function, but they can be used as props in this mini-game to exchange for rewards."

You haven't caught any fish yet, so you probably won't be able to open the exchange panel.

Okay, let's add each other as friends, and I'll send you the redemption information.

Immediately afterwards, the group added each other as friends, and Mo Fan also added them as friends.

Soon, the player sent the image of the redemption panel to several people.

[Meow Meow Fishing Exchange Shop]

The catch includes: clownfish, small grass carp, and chubby fish.

【Redeemable Items】

[Clownfish x2: Can be exchanged for one cocoa fruit]

[Two small grass carp: can be exchanged for one medium HP potion or one medium PP potion]

[Fat Fish x1: Can be exchanged for one fig]

[10 Clownfish, 10 Small Grass Carp, 10 Chubby Fish: can be exchanged for one pet - Meow Meow]

Mo Fan's eyes lit up the moment he saw the exchange shop.

He never expected that the rewards from this little game would be even more abundant than he had imagined—he could actually exchange for cocoa fruits, figs, potions, and even Meow Meow, one of the three main pets.

"In that case, if I'm not mistaken, it's very likely that Meow Meow can only be redeemed within this game."

"But thinking about it, it makes sense. If you could just farm monsters in public dungeons and get a Pokémon like Meow Meow with such great potential, it would be everywhere."

Mo Fan pondered this in his heart.

However, while it's possible to exchange for these fish, it's unclear what the probability of actually catching them is.

They've been fishing here for half an hour, and the player with the Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles has only caught one fish.

Based on the fish's appearance, it can be determined that it was just a clownfish.

"In that case, I'll have to think carefully about what I should exchange for."

"The experience offered by cocoa and figs is just so-so."

In the early stages of leveling up in the secret realm dungeons, I would hold my level to allow my pet to level up and refresh its stats, but that's not very useful for me anymore.

"I'm really lacking in treatment potions and PP potions."

"but……"

Chapter 50 Magic Stone

Mo Fan pondered, glancing at the oasis mammoth beside him—it had been so long, and it still hadn't caught anything.

At this rate, forget about catching a small grass carp to exchange for potions; even catching a clownfish to exchange for a cocoa fruit is probably unlikely.

"As expected, these rewards are not so easy to redeem."

And just as Mo Fan was hesitating whether he should continue fishing, suddenly, the oasis mammoth's trunk seemed to have caught something.

The moment it caught the object, the oasis mammoth's trunk snapped up and jerked it upwards, then flung it out of the river.

However, when the object was thrown ashore, Mo Fan took a closer look and realized that it was not a fish, but a tattered package with some seaweed wrapped around it.

[The debris tangled around aquatic plants: it could contain trash, or it could contain something very valuable.]

Mo Fan was stunned when he saw what was in front of him—what was that? You could catch something that wasn't a fish in this river?

Mo Fan stepped forward and opened the bag of odds and ends tangled with seaweed.

The contents were then revealed—a real jumble of things, including seaweed, shellfish, and mud.

Just as Mo Fan was feeling a bit disappointed, thinking there was nothing inside, he suddenly spotted a glass bottle in the mud.

The glass bottle was sealed with a cork and coated with waterproof wax. Inside the glass bottle was a piece of white paper.

It looks like a message in a bottle.

【Message in a Bottle x1】

Seeing this thing only deepened Mo Fan's confusion. This fishing trip had been anything but smooth sailing.

Mo Fan thought for a moment and decided to open the bottle and take out the letter inside.

The message in the bottle was strange, and so was the letter. Logically, the letter paper should have been worn and tattered, but unexpectedly, it looked brand new, exuding a faint magical aura.

【O unknown traveler, whoever you are, if you have found this message in a bottle and seen this letter, then I hope you will read it carefully. The kingdom has suffered calamity; the power of magic is no longer enough to resist the invasion of darkness. Turmoil is imminent. I do not know what the future holds, but the revelation I see is that a glimmer of hope still exists. Follow the guidance of this letter to find the cocoa tree, a symbol of life and hope, where I have buried a portion of my power. O traveler who sees this letter, I hope you can find that power and use it wisely.】

Looking at the letter, Mo Fan was stunned for a moment.

"What's going on here? My God! What does it mean that the kingdom has encountered disaster? What does it mean that there is turmoil? What does it mean that there is a prophecy?"

"And what's this about cocoa trees? Where are there any cocoa trees? Where am I supposed to find them?"

"Is there some treasure buried under that tree for me?"

In an instant, a thousand thoughts flashed through Mo Fan's mind.

But he quickly calmed these thoughts down. Whether the letter was real or fake was still unknown, and thinking about it too much was pointless. He didn't yet know what was inside this secret realm; his most important task at present was to explore it.

After thinking for a moment, Mo Fan stood up, deciding not to linger. Judging from his luck with fishing earlier, even if he wanted to exchange for a single potion, it would probably take him half a day. As for Meow Meow, he didn't even dare to dream of it. So, he decided against it.

Seeing Mo Fan get up to leave, the other players asked, "Boss, are you leaving?"

Mo Fan nodded: "At the moment, fishing is really too difficult. I want to go and look around in other places."

As he spoke, Mo Fan looked at the player who had the Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles pet: "If you don't have any big power or organization, you can continue fishing here, after all, your Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles pet has such a high success rate in fishing."

The player who owned the Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles was named Zhuang Xiao.

Zhuang Xiao then asked a question: "Hey bro, how strong is the Meow Meow pet?"

Mo Fan said, "I can tell you with certainty that Meow Meow is a very strong pet. It has high base stats, well-rounded skills, and it even has a super evolution form in the game. It's very powerful and definitely worth training."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xiao's eyes lit up, and she repeatedly expressed her gratitude: "Thank you, sir!"

Immediately afterwards, Mo Fan left the place.

……

the other side.

At this moment, Zhao Mingyuan was still wearing a small T-shirt as he strolled through the forest.

His experience was similar to Mo Fan's—he wandered around the forest for half a day without seeing a single person, let alone any pets. Moreover, he realized that he seemed to be lost.

The forest ahead grew increasingly dense, and he no longer knew which direction to take.
