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

What are you going to do?

Xu Fei suddenly turned around.

The one who held him down was a strong young man from the Yunhai Guild team, wearing a gray-blue uniform with two silver stripes—the insignia of a captain in the Yunhai Guild.

The Yunhai Guild's team consists of a captain, a battalion captain, a squad captain, and team members.

It's basically a top-down management model.

This man, Han Xiao, was one of the captains.

During this secret realm operation, Xu Fei, the squad leader, was under his command.

Han Xiao frowned as he watched Xu Fei's reaction, then followed his gaze and glanced at him.

"Those three people over there?" Han Xiao asked, "Do you know them?"

Xu Fei's chest heaved violently as he gritted his teeth: "They... they have a grudge against me! He—"

Then he embellished the story between himself, Mo Fan, and Zhao Mingyuan.

Han Xiao frowned even more after hearing this.

But not out of sympathy for Xu Fei.

He looked up again in the direction Mo Fan had left, a serious look flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, Xu Fei said again:

"Captain Han, there are only three of them. I only need to take my five men, and we can easily defeat them..."

"Alright," Han Xiao interrupted him.

His voice was calm, but his tone carried an undeniable air of authority.

Even if you have a grudge against him, now is not the time to take action.

"Why should I—" Xu Fei's face darkened.

His father is one of the vice presidents of the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce.

Although he was not able to become a captain in the Cloud Sea Guild due to the strength of his pet, he could only temporarily remain in a subordinate position.

But that doesn't mean he can be manipulated at will!

“Look around.”

In response, Han Xiao simply gestured with his chin to the surroundings.

Xu Fei followed his gaze.

On the first platform, people from various factions were scattered in different directions.

Although they appear to be reaping the rewards, each faction maintains a subtle distance from the others.

That distance wasn't random—it was deliberate.

It's a silent understanding that "if I don't move, you shouldn't move either."

“In the current situation, all the major forces are climbing the ranks, and no one intends to make the first move.” Han Xiao’s voice was very low. “Everyone is conserving their strength and waiting for the big rewards from above.”

“If you were to attack someone at this moment—” Han Xiao stared into Xu Fei’s eyes, enunciating each word clearly, “you would break this balance.”

"If we disrupt the balance, what will the other forces think? They'll think our Cloud Sea Guild started this trouble and wants to take action against everyone. If everyone gangs up on us, do you think we can withstand it?"

Xu Fei opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but couldn't utter a single word.

Han Xiao is telling the truth.

In this situation where multiple forces coexist, the one who strikes first is often not the strongest, but the most foolish.

Because everyone is waiting to see who will step forward first and who will make enemies first.

The first person to make a move was the one who stuck his neck out.

"And—" Han Xiao added, "If I'm not mistaken, those three guys' pets are all unusual; they must all be beta testers, right?"

"If a fight really breaks out, it won't be so easy to deal with."

"Don't you dare cause trouble for our guild!"

"At least for now!"

Because they were too far apart, he couldn't see the pet levels of Mo Fan and the other two.

Even from a distance, he knew that those three pets were not the kind of pets commonly found in dungeons and secret realms.

Upon hearing this, Xu Fei's face finally fell completely.

"......knew."

Xu Fei's voice was squeezed out from between his teeth, sounding as aggrieved as if he had swallowed a live toad.

He looked away, but his clenched fist remained tightly closed.

The fingernails dug deep into the palm, almost piercing the skin.

Mo Fan...

He silently repeated the name in his mind again.

Don't give me a chance!

......

Chapter 74, Second Level

As time went by, many other equally skilled three-player teams also reached the first level.

Many of them were also smart. Seeing the major guilds on the first floor, they didn't linger and decisively climbed towards the second floor.

This scene was witnessed by too many people.

There was a brief moment of silence on the first platform.

Those who were methodically picking cocoa beans in their respective areas stopped almost simultaneously.

All eyes turned towards the second floor.

The cocoa fruit on the first level can only increase experience points by 100.

So, how many cocoa beans will there be on the second layer?

Nobody is a fool.

Since the cacao tree's instructions clearly state that "the higher you go, the higher the quality," then the fruit on the first layer is simply an appetizer among appetizers.

The real meat is on top.

Undoubtedly, the faster you reach a higher level, the greater the benefits you will receive.

On the Yunhai Guild's side, the middle-aged man's gaze darkened.

He addressed the members of the Cloud Sea Guild:

"Everyone, stop what you're doing and follow me to the second floor."

"We cannot let others gain the upper hand."

Almost at the same time—

Rukawa from the Vanguard Guild also made a move.

He didn't shout any slogans; he just stood up and brushed the crumbs off his clothes.

The blue Togo jumped down from the branch and landed steadily on his shoulder.

"Walk."

One word.

The team members behind him understood immediately, stopped what they were doing, and set off as a team.

The Evil God Guild was even more straightforward.

The leader waved his hand and said, "Brothers, let's go up there and pick the better cocoa beans!"

About thirty people stood up in a flash, their dark red armbands standing out starkly against the eerie green light.

The young man in the black hoodie from the Dawn Guild remained silent, his hood pulled low, but his teammates behind him had already finished packing and were moving in his footsteps.

The same applies to the French Parliament.

In an instant, the situation on the first platform changed dramatically.

The elite forces of various factions rose and surged toward the second level.

-

Official team.

Xie Yun stood still, his gaze calmly sweeping over the various groups of people moving upwards.

Lin Mo leaned closer and lowered his voice: "Captain, the other forces have all made their moves, should we join them?"

Xie Yun did not answer immediately.

He glanced at some casual players who had only recently climbed to the first floor and were picking fruit there.

Three seconds later, he spoke.

"Let's take all our people up there first. If there are level restrictions on the second level, then those who are not at the required level can go back to the first level to pick cocoa fruits and maintain order."

Lin Mo replied, "Understood."

Then, the official forces also sprang into action!

The evil leopard silently sprang into the air, its jet-black body weaving through the branches and leaves at incredible speed.

The elite squad members followed closely behind.

-

The path upwards is much steeper than the climb from the first level to the bottom.

The spacing between branches has increased, there is less moss, and the exposed bark has become rougher.
