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

Page 55

Not too fast, not too slow, not too high, not too low.

But everyone heard it clearly.

"Everyone."

Xie Yun stepped out.

The evil leopard followed silently beside him, its dark body like a flowing shadow.

Chapter 69 begins (approximately 5 chapters today, please continue reading).

He stood between the guild forces and the individual players, his gaze calmly sweeping over both sides.

"The magical barrier hasn't dissipated yet."

His tone was flat, as if he were talking about something trivial.

"What kind of situation would it be if we started fighting now?"

The middle-aged man from the Cloud Sea Guild frowned, about to say something, when Xie Yun's voice came through.

"Once the cocoa trees bloom, everyone will have to rely on their own abilities."

"Whoever has the higher pet level and the stronger they are, can climb higher and reap better rewards."

"That's fair."

After he finished speaking, his gaze fell on the middle-aged man. His voice was not loud, but every word seemed to be nailed to the ground.

"Don't do anything unfair before this tree blooms."

"This is good for everyone. After all, no one knows what will happen next, so it's good to conserve more strength."

These words may not be harsh, but they carry significant weight.

The official stance has been made clear.

The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly.

He is not afraid of independent individuals, but he cannot help but be wary of the authorities.

With an official team of nearly a hundred people, plus Xie Yun's own strength, going against the authorities in this situation is tantamount to suicide.

Moreover, Xie Yun was telling the truth.

It is not a good thing for a conflict to break out now.

Although solo players are weak, their numbers are numerous, and it can be very troublesome if you really fight them.

There was a few seconds of silence.

The middle-aged man snorted and took a step back.

"Alright, let's see who has the best skills."

With his withdrawal, the other guilds also ceased their activities.

The members of the Evil God Guild softened their arrogance somewhat, the members of the Law Elder Guild retreated to their original positions, and the young man in the black hoodie from the Dawn Guild remained motionless.

A collective sigh of relief rippled through the group of casual observers.

There was no fight.

But everyone knew the truth—

This is only a temporary calm.

The real battle will begin when the magic barrier dissipates in ten minutes.

There won't be any "first come, first served" or "fair competition" then.

The number of cocoa fruits on the tree is limited, so getting one is a steal.

Back then, who cared about guilds or casual players?

Each person must rely on their own abilities; the true test will be revealed on the edge of the blade.

The atmosphere remained delicate.

......

Mo Fan witnessed this scene, and his judgment was confirmed.

As expected, no fight broke out.

Xie Yun is certainly capable, at least in terms of his overall strategic vision.

but--

Mo Fan's focus was no longer on these people.

His gaze returned to the ancient cocoa tree.

He had read the prompts on the panel several times.

"From low to high, the level requirements are different, and the strength of the guardian spirits is also different."

"The higher you go, the higher the quality of the cocoa..."

Mo Fan turned his head and looked at Feng Ling'er and Zhao Mingyuan.

The three of them moved closer together and lowered their voices.

"You've seen the structure of this tree," Mo Fan said softly, his voice barely audible to the two people beside him.

"There are many cocoa fruits at lower levels, but they are of low quality. I estimate that if everyone rushes there, they can pick them all. But because there are so many people and the quality of the fruits is poor, it is not cost-effective to grab the lower-level cocoa fruits."

Feng Ling'er nodded slightly: "You mean... skip the lower levels?"

“Yes.” Mo Fan’s gaze moved upwards, looking at the upper and middle sections of the cocoa tree.

"Don't rush in the moment the barrier disappears."

Zhao Mingyuan was taken aback: "Not in a hurry to go? Wait for others to charge first?"

“That’s right.” Mo Fan’s tone was very firm.

"The first group of people to rush up will definitely be in a lot of chaos. Just imagine—nearly a thousand people rushing towards a tree at the same time, not only having to climb it, but also fighting with each other."

"Given that the major guilds are already wary of each other, what will happen if they get up in the trees?"

Zhao Mingyuan thought about that scene and gasped.

My scalp is tingling.

Trampling, melee, shoving, pets battling—

That wasn't climbing a tree, that was a major battle.

“The first group of people to go up, especially those who are grabbing the lower levels, will definitely end up in a chaotic melee,” Mo Fan continued. “We don’t need to get involved in this mess.”

"Once the first wave of people surges up, the chaos at the lower levels will attract a lot of attention and combat power."

At that point, we'll attack from the side or from a less crowded direction, bypassing the lower-level battleground and heading straight for the middle and upper levels.

"With the level of our three pets, we can easily make our way through."

Feng Ling'er added, "Moreover, the cocoa beans from the lower layers are of poor quality, so even if you get them, they won't be of much use."

The truly valuable fruits are at the top. Instead of wasting time grabbing them from below, save your pet's time and go pick the ones on top.

"Let's do it!" Zhao Mingyuan slapped his thigh and lowered his voice.

The three quickly finalized their tactics.

—Avoid their sharp edge and attack the upper levels directly.

The first batch will not compete, grab, or stand out.

Wait until chaos ensues, then seize the opportunity to act.

......

Time passed by, second by second.

The light of the magic barrier visibly dimmed.

Everyone's breathing became heavier.
