He forgot his ruthlessness when he was in heat.

This time, White Owl also brought three abilities for Lu Chuan:

【Thunder Control】: You possess powerful control over lightning elements.

【Storm Domain】: Activate the Storm Domain. While consuming a large amount of dark energy, it accelerates allies and deploys a wind wall for defense; it slows down enemies and launches wind blade cutting attacks, with a 1% chance of triggering Armor Break during the attack.

【Wind Control Wings】: Three pairs of wings sprout from your back. You gain flight capabilities and can freely control wind-type dark energy. When used within the Storm Domain, it consumes no dark energy.

Lu Chuan spread his palm, and purple lightning arcs danced across it.

Under Lu Chuan's subconscious control, the lightning arcs condensed into blades or compressed into spheres.

"The 【Thunder Control】 ability is still too overpowered. As long as I want to, I can develop ten thousand types of lightning skills."

"And if I remember correctly, there are methods for tempering the body using lightning on the Alliance's official website. I can get them and take a look."

Although Lu Chuan's physical body had already reached a terrifying level of strength, who would complain about their body not being strong enough?

"As for the 【Storm Domain】 area skill, it is also quite overpowered. It can buff allies while simultaneously weakening or even attacking enemies. The only drawback is that it consumes too much mana."

It's useless against weak enemies, and there's not enough mana for strong enemies.

If one were to use this ability before reaching the third tier, they would likely run out of mana and die before the enemy did.

"The effect of these 【Wind Control Wings】 is essentially a high-end version of a player's 「Wind Striking Wing」. On top of having extremely powerful flight capabilities, it adds the effect of controlling wind elements. When used together with the 【Storm Domain】, it can unleash even more formidable power."

The real world is not like a game. In fact, few Transcendents in the Alliance possess the ability to fly autonomously; most need to rely on external forces.

Having wings means having air superiority.

Therefore, the 【Wind Control Wings】 can play a significant role in early-stage battles.

"The feeling of becoming stronger is truly fascinating," no wonder Transcendents in this world rarely get addicted to games.

Precisely because of this, more non-Transcendents are given the opportunity to touch upon transcendence.

Lu Chuan stretched his joints; the joints tempered by the Ancient God Bloodline and lightning power were exceptionally flexible.

"I just can't sleep at all."

Who could imagine that a sickly weakling who was coughing up blood just a few days ago has now transformed into a humanoid beast harboring the world's strongest bloodline within him?

"Next, it's time to build a city for the players."

Driven by a massive, substantial, and surging amount of yuan energy, the 350 million Wood and 920 million stones contributed by the players transformed into tall, indestructible city walls, buildings rising from the ground, green brick-paved floors, and a grand, majestic martial arts arena...

Those 10,000 dark energy crystals became the protective grand array for the players' city.

"Next are the map and teleportation functions that the players have been longing for."

【Spatial Conversion】 allows the placement of "anchor points" in different spaces. Everything within the range of an "anchor point" can be arbitrarily transported to the range of any other "anchor point."

Of course, there are restrictions on the placement of "anchor points": the distance between each "anchor point" cannot be less than five kilometers.

Furthermore, once an "anchor point" is placed, it cannot be moved or canceled.

"In other words, after each 'anchor point' is placed, there cannot be a new 'anchor point' within a five-kilometer radius?"

Lu Chuan felt a bit of a headache.

It seems the placement of these "anchor points" is also an art.

One must ensure they are safe and strategically significant, while not hindering the placement of other "anchor points."

"Let's leave this brain-racking task to the players!"

Anyway, five kilometers isn't a very large distance for the current players.

Lu Chuan only placed one "anchor point" in the center of the player city, which is the so-called teleportation array.

The other teleportation array was placed in the first Instance, The Sky Kingdom of the Witch God.

Just for these two Instances, it cost Lu Chuan 100 points of yuan energy!

It seems it was wise to leave the task of placing teleportation arrays to the players.

Of course, outsourcing this major project to the players for free wasn't just because Lu Chuan was lazy, and certainly not because he was stingy.

It was because some areas of the Beginning World are not suitable for the players to explore at the moment.

Just like the nest of the Devouring Insect Mother; as the kingdom ruled by Lu Chuan's first kin creature, the terror of the insect nest is not something that the previous squad of primitive Insect Soldiers could represent.

Once a fearless player attracts the attention of the insect nest, the player city will face wave after wave of swarm-style baptism.

The players' resurrection speed wouldn't even keep up with the Devouring Insect Mother's egg-laying speed.

If that day really comes, Lu Chuan couldn't think of any other way for the players to survive other than him intervening personally.

Lu Chuan had intentionally set the players' spawning point in a very safe location.

As long as the players explore gradually outwards from the city, the speed at which they expand the map will definitely match their own strength.

Of course, if there are individual players with an extremely vigorous spirit of adventure, then pretend Lu Chuan said nothing.

But regardless, the players are the most special existence in the Beginning World and the fastest way for Lu Chuan to collect yuan energy.

Lu Chuan will definitely have their backs.

"As for the map... let the players unlock it bit by bit as they place the teleportation arrays."

"I still need to set aside enough yuan energy to use as main quest rewards. Calculating it this way, my pockets still aren't rich enough."

Furthermore, Lu Chuan also planned to increase the player cap.

More players joining also means Lu Chuan must have more yuan energy for emergencies.

After all, player resurrection, rewards, and the pills, weapons, and items in the shop all require yuan energy.

No way!

I can't just let the players use the teleportation array for free!

"Consuming one yuan energy per use shouldn't be too much, right?"

And that yuan energy about to enter the players' pockets must be earned back tenfold or a hundredfold!

"Hmm, I can list some seeds for spiritual herbs and medicines in the shop. Even the Four-Armed Orangutan has started entering the agricultural age; it wouldn't be too much to ask the players to do some farming, right?"

"Since there are seeds, I can't be missing farming tools, right?"

"With the increase in player numbers, members of the Alliance or other factions will inevitably enter the game. Those are all talents. I have to provide tools for alchemy, medicine making, and artifact refining, right?"

"Not only that, want to form a guild in the game? Pay yuan energy!"

What? Your guild members' bonds are unbreakable and don't need game recognition?

Then do you want internal guild chat? Do you want guild quest rewards? Do you want a guild shop? Do you want guild tech bonuses?

Then honestly pay up the yuan energy!

For a moment, Lu Chuan seemed to unlock his talent as a profiteer, lost in the thrill of profit.

"Want to farm in the game? Pay yuan energy!"

"Want to do alchemy, artifact refining, medicine making, or business in the game! Pay yuan energy!"

...

"Hehehehe..."

As the east began to brighten, Lu Chuan finally put down his mouse, feeling satisfied.

"The future is truly promising!"

Lu Chuan narrowed his eyes; he had never felt so pleased.

So, how much should the player cap be increased to this time?

Lu Chuan tapped his knuckles lightly against the desk.

"Then let's make it... six thousand people!"

...

Time passed minute by minute, with countless eyes watching this game that concerned the fate of humanity.

At the Alliance headquarters, Chen Shichang's eyes were glued to the computer interface.

Standing behind Chen Shichang was a man with dark skin and a scar on his face.

"Wu Yi, do you guess there will be more players joining in this game update?"

Wu Yi neither said yes nor no, "As long as the player cap is increased to three thousand this time, our people can successfully enter the game."

Chen Shichang looked at the rising sun outside the window, smiling gently, "No rush."

"Even if we can't, there is still the Ninth Department."

"I believe in Shu Heng."
