The next day, it was already noon.
In the dim forest, footsteps rumbled as figures moved.
Hundreds of goblins spread throughout the forest, advancing in groups.
Among the many green-skinned figures, there was one that was even larger.
Benben, walking through the forest, looked like a moving metal mountain.
Li Meng, sitting on Benben's shoulder, yawned.
"System, start simulated life!"
The airship was shot down, indicating that the future had already changed.
[Simulated life begins]
[You walk through the dim forest with your goblin underlings]
[You return to the tribe and patiently wait for the Black Robe to appear]
[One day, the Black Robe appears]
[You obtain a sacrificial disk from the Black Robe that can summon the Barbarian God]
[Signs of the Pigmen tribe's activity are discovered in the eastern forest, you choose to ignore them]
[The rotation period is approaching, please choose from the following options]
[1. Allow the Lizardmen of the northern swamp to rebel]
[2. Gather all the goblins to intimidate the Lizardmen of the northern swamp]
[3. March to the northern swamp, annihilate the Black Scale and Gray Scale tribes, and kill all male Lizardmen]
[4. Summon the Barbarian God]
A hint of helplessness flashed in Li Meng's eyes as he sat on Benben's shoulder.
The future information predicted by the simulated life was too brief.
Lacking details, it was easy to miss side quests that could affect the future.
He had to proceed cautiously, changing the future based on known information.
"What should I choose?"
Li Meng focused on the four options.
Options one, three, and four were not viable.
Knowing in advance that the Lizardmen would rebel, he couldn't just ignore it.
You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.
If left unchecked, the combined male Lizardmen from the two tribes numbered over a thousand.
This was a force that couldn't be ignored.
The third option went against Li Meng's original intention of subduing the Lizardmen of the northern swamp.
The fourth option was even less feasible.
He'd have to be out of his mind to choose the fourth option.
"Choose option two!"
[You gathered all the goblins, and their massive numbers intimidated the Lizardmen]
[You and Bai Ling headed to the Iron Cave]
[The rotation period arrived, and Bai Ling returned to the White Scale tribe]
[The Black Mountain Lizardmen tribe's army attacked, retreating without a fight, and Bai Ling was captured]
[One day, an adventurer squad appeared in the forest near the Goblin nest]
[Gobu Tian was killed by the adventurer squad, and the Goblin nest was completely destroyed]
[Gobu Di and Gobu Shi led the goblin army to pursue the Black Mountain Lizardmen tribe's army]
[You headed to the southern shore to confront the adventurer squad alone]
[You encountered the adventurer squad in the forest where the airship wreckage was]
[You achieved victory, killing all the men and capturing two female humans]
[From the captives, you learned some information about the human Principality of Ilysis]
[You caught up with the goblin army and continued to pursue the Black Mountain tribe's army]
[In a certain forest, you led the goblin boar cavalry and caught up with the Black Mountain tribe's army]
[You defeated the Black Mountain tribe's army and killed them all]
[The Black Mountain tribe, hearing of their army's complete annihilation, summoned the Barbarian God "Aqua" out of fear]
[The Black Mountain Swamp was polluted by the Barbarian God, becoming the Great Wasteland, and all life was refined into wasteland slaves]
[You chose to withdraw the army and led the goblin army back to the tribe]
[Due to the need for food, you taught the Lizardmen the knowledge of fish farming]
[Your tribe thrived]
[One day, a man in full armor appeared in the forest near the Goblin nest]
[One day, he found the Goblin tribe]
[On that day, you used a human wave tactic to kill the man, with heavy casualties to the tribe]
[One day, a woman appeared in the forest near the Goblin nest]
[One day, she found the Goblin tribe]
[On that day, the tribe turned into a sea of fire, you died, and the tribe was completely destroyed]
[As a transmigrator, no matter how cautious you are, you cannot change the fact that you are toyed with by the goddess of fate, and all your efforts ultimately turned to nothing, your life was valuable, setting the stage for the Goblin Forest to be transformed into a wasteland]
[Simulated life ends, score: 60]
[Please choose from the following rewards]
[Consume ten score levels +1]
[Consume one score attribute +1]
[Consume ten score charisma +1]
[Consume ten score "Berserk" skill level +1]
[Consume twenty score "Steel Skin" skill level +1]
[Consume ten score "Heart Speech" skill level +1]
"Is this a case of the big boss coming after the small fry?"
The man and woman who appeared at the end were clearly strong among humans.
Otherwise, that man wouldn't have required him to use a human wave tactic to kill him.
This indicated that the man was far stronger than him.
And that woman, she managed to completely destroy the tribe.
Such powerful combat strength was likely at the pinnacle among humans.
"Could it be that the adventurer squad had relatives of that man and woman?"
Li Meng considered this possibility.
The possibility was very high, extremely high.
Otherwise, there was no explanation for why that man and woman appeared.
"It seems that shooting down the airship triggered a chain reaction!"
Li Meng frowned, his expression thoughtful.
If he hadn't shot down the airship, would that adventurer squad have appeared?
Without that adventurer squad, the man and woman wouldn't have been drawn in.
"How can I avoid the worst outcome?"
Li Meng pondered deeply while sitting on Benben's shoulder.
The system gave him too few options.
Li Meng suspected that the frequency of options in the simulated life was related to his luck value.
If options appeared more frequently, he could have more future choices.
He wouldn't be forced to follow a single future path to the end.
However, this time he was lucky to have three skill option rewards.
"Choose to enhance the 'Steel Skin' skill level!"
[Consume 60 score, "Steel Skin" skill level +3]
Here it comes, the familiar intense pain swept through his body.
Li Meng's body crackled as he sat on Benben's shoulder.
His shinbones twisted out of shape as if crushed by some force.
His entire face contorted into a mass and was forcibly pulled apart.
After a while, Li Meng's body returned to normal.
Benben curiously turned to look at his boss on his shoulder.
By the time Benben looked over, Li Meng's physical changes had ended.
Li Meng looked down at his hands and grinned.
He had grown stronger again.
Li Meng could feel the immense power hidden within his body.
At this moment, Li Meng finally understood why he was so arrogant in front of the Black Robe.
With a thought, Li Meng opened the character panel.
