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

These branches converge at the fork, forming a huge, natural circular platform.

It looks like a bird's nest.

No, it's more like a plaza suspended in mid-air.

Standing here and looking around, you can see countless branches extending in different directions, each branch bearing a different number of cocoa fruits.

The fruits emitted a faint glow, resembling stars in the dim shadows of the tree canopy.

And at this very moment—

There were already quite a few people standing in this "Bird's Nest Plaza".

A quick glance revealed that the group numbered only around a hundred people.

Mo Fan nodded secretly.

As he predicted.

The chaotic battle at the bottom level has already eliminated the vast majority of casual players.

Those who manage to climb this far are basically core members of major organizations and guilds.

The Cloud Sea Guild with its gray-blue uniforms, the Evil God Guild with its uniform dark red armbands, and the Vanguard Guild with its blue tones—each group was scattered in different locations on the first-level platform, each occupying a small area.

So far, no one has taken action.

The reason is simple—everyone has just arrived, and there are plenty of cocoa fruits on the first floor; it's not yet time to fight over them.

People from various factions are scattered on different branches, picking the fruit in an orderly manner.

The scene was unusually quiet.

Apart from the occasional crisp sound of a cocoa pod being twisted off its stem and the deep growl of a pet, there was almost no other noise.

Mo Fan noticed that there were no level barriers or "guardian spirits" mentioned in the system prompt.

He looked up into the depths of the tree canopy above.

If I'm not mistaken—although this is nominally the "first level," strictly speaking, it's just the starting point in the true sense.

There are no restrictions or barriers; anyone who climbs up can enter.

The real test is at the top.

"Fire Dance Dragon," Mo Fan said in a low voice, "Go and bring back a cocoa fruit from the surrounding area."

Fire Dragon roared, flapped its wings, and glided away along the nearest branch.

In just a few breaths, it flew back with a fist-sized, emerald-green fruit in its beak.

The fruit fell into Mo Fan's palm; its surface was smooth and warm, emitting a very faint glow and a sweet aroma.

A prompt appeared on the panel.

[Crispy Cocoa Fruit x1: Grants 100 experience points upon use.]

One hundred points.

Mo Fan glanced at the number and frowned slightly.

One hundred experience points might be a decent amount for pets below level ten.

But for his current roster—

The Fire Dance Dragon is level 20, and the experience points required to level up are as high as several thousand. One hundred points are not even a fraction of that.

As for the oasis mammoth and other pets, their situation isn't much better.

"How much?" Zhao Mingyuan leaned over and glanced at the panel, his expression immediately falling. "Only one hundred?"

Feng Ling'er glanced at the data on the cocoa fruit, her eyes showing no emotion, but she shook her head slightly.

Clearly, she came to the same conclusion.

Mo Fan put the cocoa fruit into his backpack.

One hundred experience points may not seem like much, but since I picked them on a whim, I might as well keep them.

It's good to accumulate small amounts over time.

But wasting time on this is absolutely not worth it.

"Don't fight them for it here." Mo Fan's voice was low, only the two people beside him could hear it. "The quality of the fruits on the first floor is too low, there's no point in wasting time here."

His gaze went upwards, passing through layers of branches and leaves, and he could vaguely see the fruits radiating a rich light higher up.

"Keep going up."

Without saying a word, Feng Ling'er had already started walking.

Zhao Mingyuan rubbed his hands together and followed.

The three pets returned to their places, guarding their respective owners.

Three figures passed through the first platform without stopping and climbed towards the higher branches.

-

This scene was witnessed by many people.

Xie Yun was standing on a branch on the east side of the first platform, watching Lin Mo direct the team members to pick cocoa fruits in an orderly manner.

The evil leopard crouched at his feet, its amber eyes half-open, as if it were dozing.

Yu Guangzhong saw three figures flash past from the side.

Xie Yun's gaze shifted over there.

When he saw the crimson dragon shadow and the young face beside it, his pupils contracted slightly.

"......really."

His lips twitched, but he didn't make a sound.

Fire Dragon Dance.

Mo Fan.

Sure enough, this guy came up too.

Moreover—they didn't even stop on the first floor, but went straight to higher floors.

Xie Yun's gaze followed Mo Fan's retreating figure until he disappeared among the branches and leaves above.

"A level 20 Fire Dance Dragon..."

He muttered something to himself.

He originally thought his Evil Leopard level was already high enough.

But now it seems that Mo Fan, this top beta tester, is even stronger than he imagined!

Xie Yun withdrew his gaze, his expression returning to normal, and said to Lin Mo beside him, "Speed ​​up, once we've picked enough fruit on the first floor, we'll prepare to move on to the second floor."

Lin Mo nodded: "Understood."

Chapter 73 Temporary Order

Xie Yun wasn't the only one to notice Mo Fan and his two companions.

Among the Yunhai Guild's team.

Xu Fei was directing the round-eyed spider to pick cocoa berries from a branch.

Compared to the other guild members' methodical approach, his actions seemed somewhat hasty.

The round-eyed spider used its eight slender legs to twist off a cocoa fruit and handed it to Xu Fei.

Xu Fei barely glanced at it before casually stuffing it into his backpack.

Just then—

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of several familiar figures.

One of them was particularly familiar.

Crimson dragon wings, a young face, and indifferent eyes.

Xu Fei's movements suddenly froze.

The hand holding the cocoa fruit froze in mid-air, the person stood still, and their breathing quickened.

The next second, that long-lost feeling of resentment and hatred surged into his heart like ignited gunpowder.

Mo Fan—!

He recognized the person at a glance!

And Zhao Mingyuan next to Mo Fan!

The memory of being beaten by Zhao Mingyuan with his pet at the Magic Crystal Plaza that day is still vivid in my mind!

He had two teeth knocked out!

Moreover, the police department did not take any action.

They haven't gotten any revenge yet!

When has Xu Fei ever suffered such humiliation in Yunhai City?

Whenever Xu Fei thinks about this incident, he feels an overwhelming hatred in his heart!

And now, the two culprits are right in front of him.

The distance should not exceed fifty meters.

Xu Fei's breathing became rapid. His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white.

"Round-eyed spider, give it to me—"

He had only said half of what he was going to say.

A hand pressed down on his shoulder.

The力度 (intensity/strength) was not great, but the determination was strong.
