Cave World, Mechanical Ruins.

Ah Lan lay on the iron railing outside the control room with his teammates, his gaze sweeping over the mechanical spiders gathered in the hall below.

Through interactions over this period, Ah Lan's role within the team has transformed.

Now, he is the core of the team, the only player taking the main form enhancement path.

The main form was originally handled by the team captain.

But the captain knew his abilities fell short compared to him, opting to step aside and let him be the team's "Fusion Core."

In response, Ah Lan wasn't surprised; he accepted the captain's position calmly.

From the moment he entered the game, he had a clear plan for his future.

This time, the higher-dimensional beings granted game qualifications, and he was the only one from the Moon Eclipse Clan to get a qualification.

After entering the game, he named himself "Shou Jili," precisely to prepare in advance for the Monster World.

At the same time, the refunds for the Dark Land have begun.

His contact information in the game has been posted on the Dark Land's official website, and any player wanting a refund can contact him in the Monster World, exchanging sacrificial power for an equivalent refund in real money.

In the eyes of players, it's a free 1.5 times compensation.

But Ah Lan knows clearly.

In the future, sacrificial power will replace real money and become the currency truly valued by all Earth Alliance members.

The only thing limiting sacrificial power from completely replacing real money is time, and the shortage of sacrificial power limiting currency circulation cannot fulfill large-scale trade demands.

Therefore, pre-planning sacrificial power is the core direction for the future development of the Moon Eclipse Clan.

Secondly, the strategic layout within the game is also of utmost importance.

At this stage, he is the only one from the Moon Eclipse Clan with game qualifications, making it difficult to establish a force alone.

He must depend on those clans with a large number of players and cooperate with them.

That's the reason he chose to join a smaller group from other races.

Though he considered joining top guilds like the Divine Hall.

But he thought, top guilds might not necessarily accept someone of his low level.

So, a new player team was his best choice.

As the team's player numbers expand, he can establish a preliminary foundation in the Monster World to prepare ahead for the clan members who will enter the Monster World in the future.

Thus, becoming team captain was something he had anticipated all along.

Before joining the team, he thought carefully about the issue.

How can he assume leadership of an existing team and become its leader?

During this time, he must resolve two core issues.

The first issue, the stereotypes of various clans about the Moon Eclipse Clan.

In previous virtual games, the Moon Eclipse Clan had always been the target of other clans' attacks, with a generally unfavorable impression.

It was even mockingly referred to as: Upper Realm Beings.

This wasn't a compliment but mockery of the Moon Eclipse Clan's aloof and indifferent image.

Interacting with any race as a member of the Moon Eclipse Clan naturally leads to barriers.

Therefore, when approaching Tu Bai's team, he chose to join with the identity of an average Moon Eclipse Clan member.

He proactively stated that his name was assigned by higher-ups, and he didn't want this name, using complaints to dissolve barriers.

After blending in low-key into the group, he needed to build trust with his teammates.

He did this by showcasing his value, proactively assisting the team with development needs, and responding to feedback from teammates to win favor.

Through his step-by-step efforts, the team began revolving around him.

Even the captain recognized his inadequacies, choosing to let him take over the captain role.

What he needed to do next was expand the team's size.

The large number of new players on the wasteland was his target.

At that moment, a voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Ah Lan, why did you share the Combined Transformers strategy on the forum? We can't use it ourselves?"

Upon hearing this, Ah Lan turned to look.

The one questioning him was the original team captain, a Black Jade Clan player, whose game name was "Steel Heart."

Facing the inquiry, he smiled and shook his head:

"Though players have internal resource disputes, the core content of this game is external development, so sharing good strategy content on the forum benefits the whole, which in turn lets us individually benefit from it, like in Life Soul containment, where we rely on the efforts of veteran players to make novice mode easier."

"Can't understand, but you're the Upper Realm Being, your perspective must be different from ours."

Then, a hint of regret appeared on the captain's face:

"We, the Black Jade Clan, are a small and humble clan with limited resources allocated. Our way of thinking always starts from a self-serving perspective; the narrow-mindedness in thinking is because we are limited to a confined space. In such an environment, we only learned to strive, never truly learned to share."

Standing on the rusty iron railings was an Eagle-Headed Demon teammate, who leaned their head over:

"Therefore, the holy mother only appears in a prosperous and stable social environment."

Tu Bai, standing nearby, nodded in agreement upon hearing this:

"Material foundation determines ideas. In economically developed clans, the material conditions are abundant, and basic life needs of the people are fully met. With this foundation, clan members are more inclined to pursue higher-level spiritual goals, such as environmental protection, animal rights, and other broader and abstract concepts, but as I see it, it's all because they've got too much leisure."

Ah Lan: ...

The content of his teammates' conversation left him unsure of how to interject.

In fact, sharing the Combined Transformers strategy on the forum was because he considered the future development of the Moon Eclipse Clan as the core perspective.
