"How could I have become such a wretched thing?" Aden sighed deeply in his heart, feeling utterly lost about his future life.
"Huh, what's that?" At that moment, something glittering on the rock wall caught Aden's attention.
Although the emitted light was faint, it was possible to see that there were some crystals on the rock wall.
The crystals emitted various colors.
The presence of these faintly glowing crystals also slightly dispelled the darkness in the cave.
Upon closer inspection, those luminous crystals were indeed magic crystals.
Aden's eyes brightened, and he subtly moved closer to the rock wall without drawing attention.
In a corner, Aden leaned against the rock wall.
His hands were not idle, deftly prying the magic crystals off the rock wall.
In no time, Aden had removed ten magic crystals.
Aden did not take more, as he had no more space on his person to carry them.
"What are you doing with these shiny stones, boss?" Despite Aden's caution, he was spotted by Malphas.
Looking at Malphas in front of him, a flash of murderous intent crossed Aden's eyes.
If Malphas made a scene, he would be done for.
"N-nothing, these glowing stones are quite pretty, I thought I'd collect some."
Fortunately, Malphas's intelligence did not extend to thinking about anything beyond eating.
Malphas paid no attention to his boss's actions of prying magic crystals off the rock wall.
"Let's go, we'll find a place to sleep."
The sky outside was gradually growing dark.
Inside the cave, many Goblins began to sleep on the ground.
In the following days, Aden lived the daily life of a Goblin.
With the lessons from The Sims, Aden had no choice but to be obedient.
He would go out hunting at sunrise and return late.
Every day, he had to bring back enough food, even if he couldn't fill his own stomach.
Otherwise, he would be punished with a whipping.
If he exceeded his task, he might be rewarded with mating rights.
The loyalty of Goblin offspring to their father is absolute.
Goblins can identify their father by scent.
Once he obtained mating rights, he could form a group within the tribe.
On the afternoon of the fifth day, in the forest about ten kilometers away from the Goblin nest,
Aden, who was following the group, stealthily approached a Goblin.
Then he knocked it down with a punch.
"From now on, I am your boss, understood?"
The Goblin, knocked to the ground, nodded fearfully.
"Very well, follow me!"
Watching the Goblin walking ahead, Aden approached.
Aden came up behind the Goblin and patted its shoulder.
The Goblin turned around and looked at Aden with a puzzled expression.
"From now on, I am your boss, do you understand?"
The Goblin did not understand and was clearly defiant, glaring at Aden with anger.
Swinging the wooden club in his hand, he let out a cry and attacked Aden.
Aden punched out, hitting the Goblin right in the face.
The Goblin screamed and was sent flying.
He flew several meters before crashing to the ground.
His scream caught the attention of the Goblins ahead.
But the Goblins ahead, seeing it was a fight among their own kind, paid no mind.
And the leading large Goblin didn't even bother to turn back.
"Follow behind me!"
Aden pointed behind him, speaking to the fallen Goblin with a haughty tone.
The Goblin on the ground quickly got up and obediently followed behind Aden.
In this way, Aden collected more than ten followers along the way.
When the number of Goblins following him reached thirteen, Aden stopped forcibly recruiting more.
Continuing would surely attract the attention of the team leader.
Seeing that the time was right, Aden gave his followers a signal.
Under the pressure of Aden's dominance, the Goblin followers could only slow down their pace.
In a densely wooded area, Aden led the Goblin followers away from the main group.
"Boss, if the big boss finds out, we'll be eaten," said one of the Goblins.
In the forest, Aden led a group of Goblin followers at a trot.
Without a destination, just simply moving away from the hunting party.
One Goblin approached, trembling with fear from leaving the group.
"What are you afraid of? I'll soon be the boss of the boss," Aden said, even though he was just making promises, the Goblin believed him.
The fear on its face vanished.
"Gorgath, Gorgath!"
It chanted happily, raising its club in the air.
The Goblin seemed to have the habits of a wolf pack.
With its call, the other Goblins couldn't help but also chant loudly.
"Stop, don't shout, if we attract a powerful Warcraft, we're done for."
How vast the forests and mountains are outside the Goblin's lair, Aden does not know.
In the past few days, the farthest he has gone with the hunting party does not exceed ten kilometers.
The Warcrafts encountered are basically first-order ground squirrels and forest boars.
Occasionally, they also encounter magical wind rabbits, but they are too fast and very powerful.
Every time they encounter wind rabbits, the Goblin hunting party suffers heavy losses.
Fortunately, wind rabbits are timid and flee after a panicked attack.
If the wind rabbits were to fight to the end, the hunting party would be completely wiped out.
The Goblin quickly shut his mouth and silently followed behind Aden.
As they walked, the sound of "rustling" water suddenly echoed ahead.
A stream blocked Aden's path.
"Rest for a while, wait!"
Aden on the riverbank left this sentence and walked towards the water.
"Want to see?"
Looking at the clear water, Aden stopped five meters away from the water's edge.
Goblins do not have a great demand for water.
They can replenish water from the blood of raw food.
Aden is self-aware of his appearance.
He has been avoiding these days.
Although avoiding, he also knows that he has become a Goblin.
He also enjoys the struggle for food with other Goblins.
The foul-smelling flesh and blood are so sweet when chewed in the mouth.
In the end, Aden on the shore still moved forward.
Aden by the water knelt on the ground, looking down at the reflection in the water.
Looking at the green, ugly creature in the water, Aden fell into deep thought.
"Let this world be destroyed!"
Kneeling by the water, Aden muttered in a low voice.
Aden stood up, his face full of murderous intent.
"If there is only one intelligent race in this world, the Goblin, then the Goblin is the new human!"
Being reborn as a Goblin is now a fact.
Even if there are humans in this world, they are also a different race.
In any game or novel, Goblins are a weak existence.
"System, start simulating life!"
Aden will not risk his own life.
The life simulation system can deduce his life.
He can use the life simulation system to try and error in the future life.
Predict potential dangers in advance.
[Consume 1 first-order magic crystal]
[Start simulating life]
[In order to become stronger, you have gathered a team. You are very depressed by the river, realizing that you have become an ugly monster. You are very angry in your heart. You face reality, accept your fate, and in the future, you will become the nightmare of all intelligent races. You start a new life, leading your team away from the small river. Please make the following choices]
[One, go north to find Warcraft]
[Two, go west to find Warcraft]
[Three, go east to find Warcraft]
[West, go south to find Warcraft]
[Five, do nothing and wait]
The Goblin's nest is to the south, so the fourth option can be abandoned.
The direction the hunting party left is to the north, so the first option is not considered.
In the end, only the east and the west are left.
After thinking about it, Aden chose one at random.
