[Life Simulation Begins]
[After much effort, you become the leader of a hunting party. Following the leader's orders, you head to human territory to capture humans. You lead your team northward and successfully reach the edge of the Goblin Forest.]
[Standing atop a mountain, you feel a bit lost about your future.]
[A large river blocks your path, but you successfully build a raft and cross it.]
[You discover a Great Wind Rabbit. Please make a choice:]
[1. Hunt the Great Wind Rabbit.]
[2. Detour to avoid the Great Wind Rabbit.]
[3. Do nothing and scare the Great Wind Rabbit away.]
"Gobu Qiang, have you ever seen a Great Wind Rabbit?"
The sudden question from the leader made Gobu Qiang's eyes light up. He quickly came over, showing a flattering expression.
"Boss, the Great Wind Rabbit is an advanced form of the Wind Rabbit. It's a Tier 2 Magical Beast, very large, and its meat is delicious. Although it's powerful, it's quite foolish and easily frightened, often crashing into trees to its death."
An advanced form of the Wind Rabbit?
Li Meng's eyes lit up as he pondered.
The Wind Rabbit has magical skills, so the Great Wind Rabbit must have even more powerful magic skills.
Perhaps he could gain his first magical skill in life.
"Choose the third option!"
[The Great Wind Rabbit got scared and crashed into a tree to its death. You feasted on it and acquired the magical skill "Wind Blade."]
[You have become stronger, and your mindset has subtly changed.]
[You enter a forest full of spider webs. Please make a choice:]
[1. Continue forward, ignoring everything.]
[2. You sense something is wrong and choose to detour.]
[3. You think spider-type magical beasts might appear, offering a chance to gain skills, so you choose to hunt unknown magical beasts.]
Which option should you choose?
Sitting on a large rock, Li Meng appeared deep in thought.
The first option is the most foolish.
A forest full of spider webs seems off no matter how you look at it.
If something feels wrong, how can you ignore it and continue on your way?
Li Meng didn't believe he would be so careless.
Between the second and third options, Li Meng leaned more towards the second.
Because the second option is the safest.
The third option is a bit too risky.
Facing unknown magical beasts, deciding to hunt them rashly is equally foolish.
"Choose the second option!"
[You choose to detour, but a human adventurer team ambushes you, and you die.]
[Your right ear is cut off and becomes a trophy for the human adventurer team.]
[Gobu Da narrowly escapes and returns to take your body after the adventurers leave.]
[You are eaten by Gobu Da, who successfully evolves into a Big Goblin.]
[Your skull is preserved and receives daily "nourishment" from urine.]
[As a transmigrator, you are cautious, but this doesn't change the fact that you are just a weakling. As a Goblin, you are both hunter and prey. Your death holds no value in this world, won't be remembered by anyone, and only changes the fate of a weak Goblin. Your death holds some value, but that's all.]
[Life simulation ends, score: 30.]
[Please choose a reward:]
[1. Consume five score points for level +1.]
[2. Consume five score points for attribute +5.]
[3. Consume ten score points for "Steel Muscles and Iron Bones" level +1.]
"Choose the third option!"
Li Meng looked speechlessly at Gobu Da, who was gnawing on a piece of meat.
Does this guy have some kind of obsession with his skull?
Why is he always thinking about his skull?
Is the skull being drenched in urine some kind of Goblin ritual?
"Steel Muscles and Iron Bones" level +3.
A familiar sensation surged through his body again.
Li Meng felt as if his entire body was dislocated, crackling and popping.
The intense pain from all over his body made Li Meng gasp.
The muscles under his skin visibly squirmed and swelled.
After a while, the abnormality in his body gradually subsided.
Li Meng quickly opened his character panel to take a look.
[Devour: Devouring the flesh of magical beasts may grant you their skills.]
[Steel Muscles and Iron Bones: LV4 (Strength +80, Defense +80, Agility +20)]
Strength and defense attributes are high, but the other attributes are somewhat lacking.
Li Meng remembered Gobu Ba's attributes.
As the Goblin chief, Gobu Ba only had a high strength attribute, with other attributes being more balanced.
Of course, the magic attribute is not included in this.
"Boss, you're about to evolve, right?"
Gobu Qiang looked at the boss with fear.
Just now, the boss's body was twisting and squirming like a monster.
Although he didn't know what happened, he knew the boss had become stronger.
Li Meng gladly accepted the fact that he had become stronger again. This text is hosted at NovєlFіre.net
He wasn't strong enough yet; he needed to become even stronger.
He was strong now, but also weak.
Without the life simulation predicting the future, he wouldn't know how many times he had died.
Getting up, Li Meng dusted off the dirt from his animal hide.
The Goblins who had just climbed the mountain descended again.
This time, the information provided by the life simulation was somewhat lacking.
It didn't specify which direction to go after descending the mountain.
It didn't detail how to proceed after descending.
Li Meng didn't dwell on this point. No matter how he chose, it was probably within the life simulation's predictions.
Five hours later, a large river indeed blocked the team's path.
Looking at the river before him, Li Meng stood on the riverbank, feeling lost.
Goblins can swim, and Li Meng had previously wondered why they didn't just swim across.
Now Li Meng understood why he needed to build a raft to cross.
Because the river was extremely turbulent, with an astonishing flow rate, it was truly a raging torrent.
The river was over six hundred meters wide.
Swimming to the middle would likely leave one exhausted.
"Boss, let's look downstream for a place to cross."
The sight of nature's might filled Gobu Qiang with fear.
Crossing here would surely mean death.
"Go cut wood and make a raft!"
If they went downstream to find a crossing, wouldn't they miss the Great Wind Rabbit?
Li Meng didn't plan to change his future here.
"Boss, what's a raft?"
Gobu Qiang looked at the boss in confusion.
Li Meng then realized he had overestimated the Goblins.
However, Goblins indeed had no need for raft technology.
Goblins were good swimmers, and those living in the forest didn't need rafts.
The words stopped abruptly.
Li Meng abandoned the idea of having the Goblin underlings cut trees.
Cutting trees wasn't an easy task.
With the weapons in the hands of the Goblin underlings, they couldn't cut down trees.
"Go collect some deadwood, the more and bigger, the better."
Collecting deadwood was much easier than cutting live trees.
