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

The sound came from the direction of the Cloud Sea Guild.

The speaker was a tall, middle-aged man wearing a gray-blue uniform.

He stood at the very front of the Yunhai Guild team, arms crossed, his gaze sweeping over everyone present before finally settling on the casual players.

"There are only about a thousand cocoa fruits on this tree. I think the number of people here is about the same."

"The number of cocoa beans is limited. The more people there are, the less each person gets."

"so--"

He paused, then a smile appeared on his lips.

"Why don't we clear out these casual players first? That way they won't compete with us for their resources."

The middle-aged man's words were like a pebble thrown into a lake, creating huge ripples.

But the ripples followed the same path he had anticipated.

“I agree,” the member of the Evil God Guild was the first to speak.

The leader had a playful smile on his lips, his hands in his pockets, and a casual demeanor: "Thousands of cocoa fruits sound like a lot, but with so many people here, how many will we actually get? We might as well clear out the useless ones first."

“We, the Law Society… have no objections either.” The Law Society member was silent for two seconds before finally nodding.

The young man in the black hoodie from the Dawn Guild didn't speak, but he didn't object either.

In a short time, a tacit understanding was formed among the major guilds.

They may have conflicts and competition with each other.

However, when it comes to "clearing out outsiders first," their interests are aligned.

With fewer individual investors, the pie gets bigger.

The principle is that simple.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man's smile widened.

He waved his hand behind him.

The Yunhai Guild's team of seventy or eighty people took a step forward in unison, releasing their pets from the Gulu Balls, with all sorts of pets lined up in a row.

The scents emanating from dozens of pets simultaneously filled the air.

Members of the Evil God Guild and the Law Elder Guild have also begun releasing their pets, showing signs of restlessness.

An oppressive atmosphere descended from the combined forces of several guilds.

The expressions of those casual players changed instantly.

"Are they about to make their move?"

"I knew it! These guild members don't treat us like human beings at all!"

"What should we do? If we fight one by one, we're no match for them..."

Fear spread among the scattered group.

Some people have already started to instinctively back away.

however--

A voice rang out from the crowd.

"Why?"

He is a young man.

He was of average build and appearance, standing at the very front of the group of people, his face flushed red.

"Why should we be driven away? This secret realm belongs to everyone, not just the private property of your few guilds!"

“That’s right!” Another person stepped forward, a young man wearing a baseball cap. “I’ve been bullied by you guilds ever since I entered the secret realm. You intercepted my attempts to steal fruit, you monopolized my resource points, and now you won’t even let me touch the cocoa trees? Why should I?”

"Go ahead and fight if you want! There are more of us!"

"What's wrong with being a solo player? Does that mean you're not a player?"

One, two, three...

More and more solo players are stepping forward.

These people may be timid or cowardly in normal times, and dare not speak out against organized guild groups.

But at this moment—

Thousands of cocoa fruits hung overhead.

This is the greatest treasure in the entire secret realm.

The humiliation of being bullied all the way, the stolen resources, and the forced payment of "protection money"—

Before this ancient cocoa tree, all restraint has reached its limit.

"Want to drive us away? Sure, then step over our dead bodies."

"Do you think you can take on 70% of the population in one go?"

Casual players released their pets one after another.

Although these pets vary in level, with most only around level ten, their sheer number is undeniable.

Hundreds of pets appeared at the same time, forming a dense, overwhelming torrent.

Their momentum was in no way inferior to those of the other guilds.

The atmosphere on the field instantly became tense.

The two sides are deadlocked.

The middle-aged man from the Cloud Sea Guild froze for a moment.

He wasn't afraid of these independent fighters—in terms of individual combat strength, these independent fighters were indeed no match for him.

But there are too many individual users.

Seventy percent.

Of the nearly 1,000 people, more than 700 were independent individuals.

If a fight really breaks out, all these guilds combined only have about three hundred people.

Even if we win, the cost will be significant.

Moreover, after defeating them, you will have to face the guardian spirits on the cocoa tree.

Once the pet's health is depleted, what will it use to climb the tree?

For a time, the situation reached a stalemate.

The Cloud Sea Guild dared not act rashly.

Even casual players dare not make the first move.

Both sides are waiting.

Waiting for an opportunity to break the balance.

At this moment, Mo Fan and his two companions stood on the periphery of the crowd, taking in everything that had happened.

Zhao Mingyuan glanced at the two sides, who were on the verge of exchanging blows, and then at Mo Fan.

"What do we do?" he asked in a low voice.

Mo Fan did not answer immediately.

His gaze swept from the casual players to the guild teams, and then from the guild teams to the official faction that remained silent in the distance.

A few seconds later, he spoke.

"Let's wait and see."

His tone was calm.

"I don't think a fight will break out."

Zhao Mingyuan blinked: "Are you sure? This doesn't look like things will end well."

Mo Fan turned his gaze toward the official team.

"The official statement has not yet been made."

Zhao Mingyuan followed Mo Fan's gaze.

really.

The official team of nearly a hundred people remained silent throughout, neither agreeing with Yunhai Guild's proposal to expel casual players nor speaking up for them.

Xie Yun stood with his hands behind his back, expressionless, as if everything before him had nothing to do with him.

"The authorities won't allow this to happen," Mo Fan said calmly. "At least not in this kind of situation, where guilds will be allowed to massacre solo players."

"What if a fight really breaks out?" Zhao Mingyuan asked again.

Mo Fan glanced at him.

"If a fight really breaks out—"

His voice was calm, but carried an undeniable certainty.

"If someone tries to mess with us, then we shouldn't hold back."

Zhao Mingyuan grinned and twirled the ball in his hand twice: "Okay, I like hearing that."

Feng Ling'er didn't speak, but her hand was already on the Gulu Ball at her waist.

......

The stalemate continues.

The atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

Several impatient solo players had already clenched their fists, and their pets were growling. Meanwhile, some members of the guild were also itching to make a move.

Just as this powder keg was about to explode—

A voice rang out.
