Dominion of the Goblin Lord

Chapter 3: The Second Simulation of Life

"From now on, I am your leader. Do you understand?"

The goblin did not seem to understand and clearly looked defiant.

It glared at him angrily, raised its wooden club, and screamed as it charged at Li Meng.

Li Meng threw a punch that landed squarely on the goblin's face.

The goblin screamed miserably and was sent flying several meters before crashing to the ground.

Its scream caught the attention of the goblins ahead.

But the goblins in front noticed it was just an internal fight and paid no attention.

The leading Hobgoblin didn't even turn around.

"Follow behind me!"

Li Meng pointed to the ground behind him and said proudly to the goblin on the ground.

The goblin scrambled up from the ground and obediently followed Li Meng.

In this way, along the way, Li Meng gathered more than ten followers.

When the number of goblins behind him reached thirteen, Li Meng stopped forcibly recruiting followers.

If he continued, he would draw the attention of the leading sub-leader.

Seeing that the timing was right, Li Meng signaled to his followers.

Under Li Meng's intimidation, the goblin followers could only slow their steps.

In a dense area of trees, Li Meng led the goblin followers away from the main group.

"Leader, if the leader of the leaders finds us, we'll be eaten."

In the forest, Li Meng led a group of goblin followers running.

They had no specific destination, only to get as far away as possible from the hunting party.

A goblin came closer, trembling in fear after leaving the group.

"What's there to be afraid of? I'll soon become the leader of the leaders."

Although Li Meng was just bluffing, the goblins believed him.

The fear on its face instantly disappeared.

"Gobumeng! Gobumeng!"

It cheered excitedly, waving its club in the air.

The goblins seemed to have wolf-like pack instincts.

Its cry incited the other goblins to shout loudly as well.

"Stop yelling! If you attract powerful magical beasts, we're dead!"

Li Meng had no idea how vast the forest and mountains surrounding the goblin nest were.

In recent days, the farthest he had gone with the hunting party was no more than ten kilometers.

The beasts they encountered were mostly low-tier ones like ground rats and forest boars.

Occasionally, they would encounter Wind Rabbits that could use magic, but they were too fast and dangerous.

Every time the hunting party encountered Wind Rabbits, they suffered heavy losses.

Fortunately, Wind Rabbits were timid and would flee after a chaotic attack.

If the Wind Rabbits stayed and fought, the hunting party would be annihilated.

The goblins quickly shut up and silently followed behind Li Meng.

As they walked, the sound of flowing water suddenly came from ahead.

A small stream blocked Li Meng's path.

"Rest here for a while. Wait for me!"

Li Meng threw down these words and walked towards the water's edge.

"Should I look at myself?"

Looking at the crystal-clear stream, Li Meng stopped five meters from the water.

Goblins didn't have a high demand for water.

When eating raw food, they could supplement water from the blood of their prey.

Li Meng was well aware of his appearance.

He had been avoiding it these past days.

Though he avoided it, he knew deep down that he had become a goblin.

When fighting with other goblins for food, he found himself enjoying it.

The stench of blood and flesh tasted so savory as he chewed it in his mouth.

Eventually, Li Meng moved his feet closer to the water.

Kneeling by the stream, he lowered his head to look at his reflection in the water.

Seeing the green-skinned, ugly creature staring back at him, Li Meng fell into deep thought.

"This world deserves destruction!"

Li Meng muttered softly as he knelt by the water.

He stood up with a grim expression.

"If goblins are the only intelligent species in this world, then goblins are the new humanity!"

The fact that he had been reincarnated as a goblin was an unchangeable reality.

Even if humans still existed in this world, they were now the alien species.

In every game or novel, goblins were always depicted as weak creatures.

"System, begin the simulation of life!"

Li Meng wouldn't risk his life recklessly.

The life simulation system could simulate his life and allow him to make mistakes in advance.

It would help him predict future dangers.

[Consumes 10 First-Tier Magic Crystals]

[Beginning the Life Simulation]

[To grow stronger, you gathered a team. By the river, you felt dejected and angry at your transformation into an ugly creature.

You recognized reality and accepted your fate.

The future you will become a nightmare for all intelligent species.

You embarked on a brand-new life.

You led your team away from the river.

Please make the following choice:]

[1. Head north to search for magical beasts.]

[2. Head west to search for magical beasts.]

[3. Head east to search for magical beasts.]

[4. Head south to search for magical beasts.]

[5. Do nothing and wait for opportunities.]

The goblin nest was in the south, so option four was out.

The hunting party had gone north, so option one was also not ideal.

That left east and west.

After some thought, Li Meng chose at random.

"Option three!"

[You led your team eastward.

A suddenly appeared.

You escaped quickly, narrowly avoiding danger.

Three goblins perished, becoming the bear's meal.

Please make the following choice:]

[1. Realize your weakness and return to the hunting team.]

[2. Believe it was just bad luck and continue searching for weaker magical beasts.]

[3. Think the is clumsy and huntable. Decide to take a chance.]

High risk, high reward. Let's go for it!

"Option three!"

[As a reincarnator, you believed in your intelligence.

You thought you were the protagonist and couldn't fail.

You decided to hunt the .

You and your followers dug a large trap over three days.

The clumsy bear fell into the trap, but you despaired.

None of your methods could kill the bear.]

[You resorted to poison.

You fed the bear poisoned ground rats stuffed with toxic mushrooms.

You succeeded in killing the .]

[You devoured the bear and gained the skill "Iron Body."]

[You returned to the hunting team and challenged the Hobgoblin.

You became a sub-leader.]

[Returning to the goblin nest with plentiful spoils, you received a reward from Gobuba: the right to mate.]

[A female boar was brought before you.

Mating in front of the tribe was a great honor.]

[Please make the following choice:]

[1. Mate with the boar and gain honor.]

[2. Refuse to mate with the boar.]

[3. Give the honor to the previous sub-leader.]

These options left Li Meng looking conflicted by the water.

The first option was too revolting to consider.

If the partner was human, Li Meng could accept it.

But mating with a boar? He wouldn't do it even if it killed him.
