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

[Fire affinity increased: 10% → 30%!]

Level 3.

It jumped three levels in one go.

You should know that the only way to go from level 17 to level 20 is by using the three daily opportunities to enter the secret realm dungeon.

Normally, leveling up by grinding monsters takes at least two or three days.

Not to mention the fire affinity – it jumped from 10% to 30%, which means that the damage of all of Fire Dance Dragon's fire-type skills will be raised to a new level.

"The power of origin... indeed brings an increase in fire affinity."

Chapter 58 Minor Update

In the long run, this kind of improvement is far more effective than an upgrade.

But what truly excited Mo Fan was the last hint.

The power of the Heat Source has not been fully unleashed; it will remain dormant within the pet, taking effect again when the pet evolves, further enhancing its base stats.

Race value.

The weight of those three words is something every player of the Kingdom of Rock knows all too well.

In the game, a pet's base stats are fixed.

No matter how you train or raise a pet, its base stats will always be the same. This is an ironclad rule that no item can ever break.

But now, Heat Source has done it.

Although this effect has not yet been demonstrated, the panel clearly states in black and white that the base stats will be increased upon evolution.

"This thing is far more valuable than I imagined!" Mo Fan stared at the words on the panel, his eyes shining.

He turned to look at Feng Ling'er: "How are things on your end?"

Wind Chime has already given the Water Source to the Noble Swan.

The elegant swan is surrounded by a layer of pale blue water, with glistening water droplets hanging on its feathers, making it even more graceful.

“Same as you.” Wind Chime looked at the panel, her tone still calm, but the light in her eyes couldn’t lie. “My level jumped directly to level nineteen, and my water affinity increased from 10% to 30%. And that base stat boost effect…”

She paused, then looked up at Mo Fan: "After evolution, the base stats can be further increased. This is no longer an ordinary enhancement item."

Mo Fan nodded: "From what we can see, the value of this thing far exceeds that of the Fire Spirit Stone; it is the most precious item known to be."

He was telling the truth.

Base stats are the ceiling for a pet's potential, determining just how strong a pet can ultimately become.

The value of any item that can break through this ceiling is immeasurable.

"I never expected such a small game to give such a great reward," Mo Fan exclaimed.

“If it weren’t for your brilliant idea, I doubt you would have received such high praise, let alone such a great reward,” Feng Ling’er said.

The "perfect completion" rating clearly shows that if they hadn't split into two groups and cleared all the gems, the rewards would definitely not have been the Source of Heat or the Source of Water.

Thinking of this, Feng Ling'er felt a surge of relief.

Clearly, Mo Fan made the right choice back then!

……

the other side.

"I'm finally out!!"

Zhao Mingyuan braced himself on his knees, bent over, panting heavily. His face was covered in sweat, and his hair was a mess.

From the depths of the tree hollow behind them, the angry roar of the giant ape could still be faintly heard.

Zhao Mingyuan shuddered and subconsciously took two more steps forward.

A notification sound appeared on the panel.

Congratulations on successfully completing the Tree Hole Adventure mini-game. Please check your rewards.

"It's good that you succeeded, it's good that you succeeded..."

Zhao Mingyuan caught his breath and looked down.

The little boy in the T-shirt was slumped on the ground, clutching a treasure chest, his short legs still trembling.

The guard dog lay beside another treasure chest, its tongue lolling out and panting like a bellows.

As for Zhao Mingyuan himself, the third treasure chest that had almost cost him his life was now firmly placed at his feet.

All three treasure chests were there.

"Unboxing!"

Zhao Mingyuan rubbed his hands together and opened the first treasure chest.

With a flash of golden light, five fruits emitting a pale pink glow were neatly arranged at the bottom of the box.

【Cocoa berries x5】

"Not bad, not bad." Zhao Mingyuan nodded. Five cocoa fruits, when converted into experience points, is a considerable income.

The second treasure chest was opened, and inside were ten Locke's Barons neatly stacked.

[Rock Bay x 10]

"Ten Rockbells... that's alright. I probably won't get that many in my next dungeon run."

While saying this, Zhao Mingyuan didn't slow down at all, deftly putting the items into his backpack.

the last one.

That was the third treasure chest that almost cost him his life.

Zhao Mingyuan stared at it for two seconds, took a deep breath, and suddenly lifted the lid of the box.

There was no fruit or Locke's Coin in the box.

There is only one egg.

The egg was entirely white and about the size of a person's head.

It also gives the feeling of jade, and a pattern can be faintly seen in the center.

The design features a small white ape face.

[Pet Egg x1]

[White-browed Ape Pet Egg: Hatches into a White-browed Ape pet. Hatching takes two days. Hatching method: In the current version, simply place it in your inventory to hatch automatically.]

Zhao Mingyuan was stunned for a full three seconds.

Pet eggs?

His mind raced, but he barely remembered the name White-browed Little Ape.

But the words "little ape," combined with the image of the giant ape that had nearly scared him to death in the tree hollow—

"No way... could this be that gorilla's cub?"

Zhao Mingyuan gasped, suddenly realizing that the nature of his actions had changed—he wasn't stealing treasure, he was stealing someone's child.

No wonder that giant ape woke up so suddenly, no wonder the countdown went straight to zero.

This third treasure chest isn't a treasure at all; it's the giant ape's egg!

"No wonder……"

Zhao Mingyuan looked at the warm pet egg in his hand, then looked back at the now quiet tree hole, his feelings complicated.

However complicated it may be, the eggs still need to be collected.

"Sorry, brother, I'll take your son with me now." Zhao Mingyuan muttered to himself as he carefully placed the pet egg into his backpack.

This tree hole adventure yielded five cocoa fruits, ten Rocbees, and a pet egg. It almost cost me my life, but the rewards were plentiful.

"A huge profit."

Zhao Mingyuan finally showed a satisfied smile.

But his smile didn't last three seconds.

A clear, ethereal notification suddenly rang in the minds of all players—not just Zhao Mingyuan, but all online players inside and outside the secret realm, across the entire server, received this message simultaneously.

Chapter 59 Each Displays Their Unique Abilities

The update notification sound faded.

The whole world was silent for three seconds.

Then it exploded.

Outside the wilderness secret realm, the players who hadn't entered the realm stared wide-eyed at the long list of repair information on the panel, their expressions incredibly varied.

"What's going on? What exactly happened inside?"
