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

"In front of those powerful forces, solo players are nothing."

"So, you're saying that going in this time will be a thankless and exhausting experience for you?"

"That's not entirely true; quite a few casual players have benefited."

"As far as I know, quite a few people have gotten good things, and some have even redeemed pets with potential through mini-games."

"Mini-games, you mean those small side dungeons that trigger within the secret realm?"

"more or less."

"In any case, the most precious thing in this entire secret realm is still the ancient cocoa tree."

"That ancient cocoa tree is covered with cocoa fruits, and each layer of cocoa fruits is more precious than the one above it."

"However, there are requirements to advance to the next level; only those from powerful organizations have been able to do so."

"What we have obtained is still unknown."

"But without a doubt, it's definitely a good thing."

Online, discussions about the secret realm are increasing, and its popularity continues to rise.

Of course, those who truly benefited mostly kept a low profile and made their fortune quietly.

The various factions are tallying their gains from this trip to the secret realm, learning from their mistakes, and summarizing their experiences.

The same applies to casual players.

(Let me organize the pet levels here, or the author will forget about it.)

Inside the apartment.

Mo Fan stayed in his room.

He was also sorting out what he had learned from this trip.

The current pet levels—

Popora, Level 16.

Fire-Eyed Lizard, Level 17.

Oasis Mammoth, Level 18.

Fire Dragon Dance, Level 22.

Mo Fan was quite surprised to see that Popola's level was the lowest.

The Fire-Eyed Lizard, originally the youngest, has actually surpassed Popola.

Of course, Mo Fan hasn't used the rewards from the ancient cocoa tree yet.

As for these rewards...

Mo Fan had already planned out the allocation of the funds.

"Pet experience, attribute affinity, evolution gift, all three of these are given to Fire Dance Dragon."

Mo Fan's plan remains clear: with available resources, concentrate those resources to cultivate a powerful core player.

And without a doubt, Fire Dragon is that powerful core.

Fire Dance Dragon is currently top-tier in terms of level, talent, and attribute affinity.

Furthermore, Fire Dance Dragon gains an extra evolution bonus after using the Source of Heat.

If this can be combined with the evolution gift, then without a doubt, once Fire Dance Dragon evolves, it will become incredibly powerful!

There's no reason for Mo Fan not to be given priority in training.

"As for increasing talent value, that will be given to the Oasis Mammoth."

Currently, the character with the highest talent value is Fire Dance Dragon, with all six stats maxed out.

Next is the Popora, and then the Fire-Eyed Lizard.

After all, Popola used a Water Spirit Stone, and the Fire-Eyed Lizard consumed a Golden Cocoa Fruit.

The one with the lowest overall talent value is the Oasis Mammoth.

However, the oasis mammoth's score isn't low either, averaging over 20, though it's still a bit lower than Huo Wulong and the other two.

Then, Mo Fan bestowed the rewards upon the two pets respectively.

"Pet experience, give it to Fire Dance Dragon."

Once the thought was made up, a beam of emerald light entered the Fire Dance Dragon's Gulu Ball.

The surface of the sphere emitted a scorching orange-red glow and trembled slightly twice.

[Fire Dragon's level has been increased!]

Fire Dance Dragon's current level: LV.23.

[Fire Dance Dragon's current level: LV.24!]

He was promoted two ranks.

It went straight from 22 to 24.

This level would place them in the absolute top tier among all players in Yunhai City.

But the level is just the foundation.

What truly mattered to Mo Fan was the gift of evolution.

"The gift of evolution is also given to the Fire Dance Dragon."

The moment the option was confirmed, the Gulu Ball reacted far more violently than before.

A layer of golden patterns suddenly appeared on the surface of the sphere, spreading rapidly along the curved surface.

A prompt immediately appeared on the panel.

[Detected that the target pet "Fire Dance Dragon" already possesses an Evolution Gift (Source: Heat Source).]

This gift can be combined with existing gifts.

[Stacked effect: During the next evolution, the base stat cap will be doubled.]

A double breakthrough.

Mo Fan stared at those words, his eyes suddenly lighting up.

One comes from the source of heat, and the other is a gift from the World Tree.

Both evolutionary gifts are attached to the Fire Dance Dragon at the same time.

When the day of evolution arrives—both of these gifts will explode simultaneously.

Base stats are a pet's inherent attributes.

The ceiling is there; you can't level up, you can't increase your talents, and you can't make up for it with skills.

A double breakthrough means that the ceiling itself has been smashed through.

Mo Fan didn't think much of it.

Next step.

"Attribute affinity, give it to Fire Dance Dragon."

The panel will pop up with assignment options.

However—it wasn't what he expected.

There are only two options.

Please select the attribute to improve:

【One: Fire affinity.】

[Part Two: Dragon Affinity.]

For pets with dual attributes, you can only choose one to increase in affinity.

Mo Fan didn't hesitate for a second and immediately chose the fire element.

Fire Dancer already has a 30% Fire affinity, so specializing in one type is definitely better, and if it can be increased further—

[Unable to execute.]

A red notification popped up.

Fire affinity has reached the current maximum (30%).

To further improve, please acquire higher-tier affinity-enhancing items.

Mo Fan was stunned for a second.

30% is the ceiling at this stage.

That makes sense when you think about it.

After all, if affinity could be continuously stacked using items of the same level, then those major powers would probably have already dropped to 100%.

"Then it can only be given to the dragon type."

Mo Fan switched options and confirmed.

(Note that the previous text has been revised. The author felt that 10% was too little, so it's been changed to 20% for all. After all, one spirit stone already gives 10%.)

[Fire Dance Dragon's affinity with Dragon types is increasing...]

[Dragon affinity: 0% → 20%]

From nothing to something, a direct 20%.

Fire Dance Dragon's skill pool already contains quite a few Dragon-type moves, and Dragon-type moves generally have high power.

With a 20% affinity bonus, the output can be taken to another level.

Fire type 30%, Dragon type 20%.

It possesses both attribute affinity and other characteristics.
