The screams lasted for five days before finally quieting down.

It was another new day, and the goblins in the carpentry workshop were once again facing a day filled with fear and busyness.

In the workshop, Li Meng stood in the corner, watching coldly.

He held a long whip in his hand.

The goblins trembled as they used carving knives to work on the wood in their hands.

Occasionally, they glanced nervously at the boss in the corner.

"Too thin, the sleepers need to be two fingers thicker!"

With a shout, Li Meng swung the whip.

With a "snap," the whip struck the back of a goblin from over ten meters away.

"Ah!"

The goblin screamed in pain.

"Boss, I... I know I was wrong!"

The goblin that was hit quickly begged for mercy.

"The bow needs to be thicker, if you keep shaving it, it'll be gone!"

Another "snap" was heard.

The long whip struck another goblin.

Meanwhile, Gobu Da watched his underlings' screams with schadenfreude.

"Snap!"

The whip's sharp crack resounded again.

The long whip lashed across Gobu Da's body.

"Ah!"

Gobu Da screamed, retreating repeatedly.

"Gobu Da, you're their leader, you need to keep an eye on them, you need to guide them!"

"As the leader, your responsibility isn't to stand by and watch with glee."

Li Meng swung the whip again, striking Gobu Da.

Gobu Da jumped in pain, letting out a scream.

"Ah!"

"Boss, stop hitting, stop!"

Gobu Da quickly moved forward, pretending to inspect his underlings.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

Sweeping his gaze over the goblins in the room, Li Meng let out a sinister smile.

After these few days of training, Li Meng finally understood one thing.

Goblins indeed have a strong ability to imitate.

But they have a nature of doing things perfunctorily.

They must be forced to cram new knowledge into their heads.

"Keep working, I'll inspect when you're done. Gobu Da, if you fail this time, see how I'll deal with you."

The boss's fierce gaze made Gobu Da shrink his neck, smiling obsequiously.

"Boss, it won't happen again, it won't fail again."

"Hmph, it better not!"

With a cold snort, Li Meng tossed the whip aside and turned to leave the carpentry workshop.

Seeing the boss finally leave, Gobu Da breathed a sigh of relief.

He wiped the wounds on his body, grimacing in pain.

"What are you looking at, get back to work!"

Gobu Da ran forward to pick up the boss's whip.

He swung it, striking the nearest goblin underling.

"Ah!"

The goblin underling screamed in pain.

"It's all your fault I got hit by the boss, you bunch of idiots."

For a moment, the carpentry workshop echoed with Gobu Da's furious roars and the goblins' screams.

On the other side, Li Meng, having left the carpentry workshop, returned to the throne cave.

At the entrance of the throne cave, there was a pile of barren soil and several bamboo buckets filled with water.

There were also some green branches and leaves.

"You, come help!"

Li Meng called over the goblin underlings guarding the entrance of the throne cave.

Four goblin underlings quickly ran over eagerly.

In the time that followed, Li Meng busied himself at the entrance.

After a while, he carried two buckets of clay into the throne cave.

As the afternoon arrived, today's female Lizardmen were all present.

They looked at Li Meng, who was tinkering on the ground, with curiosity and confusion.

Li Meng ignored the female Lizardmen inside, focusing on his own tasks.

Before long, under Li Meng's hands, the clay turned into variously shaped mountains.

He occasionally glanced at the map on the wooden board.

Time passed bit by bit as Li Meng busied himself.

On the third day, Bai Ling finally realized what the master was doing.

"Master, are you making a map?"

Looking at the lifelike map sandbox before her, Bai Ling felt a complex mix of emotions.

The master was indeed an anomaly among goblins.

The wisdom he possessed was beyond her understanding.

His every move made it hard to imagine he was just a goblin.

"Yes, this is a sandbox!"

Clay was used to create mountains, to create the land.

Branches and leaves were used to create forests.

After three days of work, the map sandbox was 70% complete.

It covered an area of about ten square meters.

Although Li Meng wasn't a perfectionist, he still pursued excellence.

The mountain models were almost identical to the real mountains.

Even the shapes of the peaks and some of the large rocks on the mountains were carved out.

Other female Lizardmen also gathered around.

They looked at the map sandbox with faces full of novelty.

They had never seen anything like it before.

But at first glance, they knew what it was.

"Master, is this the northern swamp?"

Hui Nana pointed cautiously at the patch of uneven dirt, asking.

On the uneven dirt, there was also a miniature thatched hut.

It was very similar to the tribe's buildings.

"Hui Nana, what are you saying? He doesn't understand!"

Seeing Hui Nana communicating with the master, Bai Ling looked speechless.

The master didn't understand the swamp Lizardmen language.

And goblins found it hard to pronounce the swamp Lizardmen language.

Bai Ling's words left Hui Nana looking puzzled at the High Priest.

"Yes, that area is the northern swamp!"

The master's response beside her left Bai Ling looking shocked.

He... he actually understood the swamp Lizardmen language?

"High Priest, the master often communicates with us, didn't you know?"

The other female Lizardmen nodded.

During mating, the master had communicated with them.

"This... this can't be, do you understand goblin language?"

Bai Ling looked astonished, momentarily losing her composure.

The female Lizardmen looked at each other and shook their heads.

"We don't understand, but we know what the master means!"

Hui Nana's explanation reminded Bai Ling of her own ability.

Since childhood, she had the ability to communicate with other creatures' minds.

Could the master have this ability too?

"Heh heh, truly a clever goblin!"

At this moment, a strange voice suddenly appeared in the room.

The voice was neither goblin language nor swamp Lizardmen language.

But everyone in the room understood it.

The appearance of the voice made all the female Lizardmen look toward the door.

At the doorway stood a figure in a black robe.

The entire body was shrouded in the black robe, making it impossible to see the true face beneath.

"You came really fast!"

Without looking, Li Meng knew who the visitor would be.

Li Meng just didn't expect the Black Robe to arrive so quickly.

Standing up, Li Meng turned to look at the doorway.

The information about the Black Robe made Li Meng frown slightly.

Judging by the Black Robe's figure, it was likely a human from this world.

It could also be a humanoid barbarian with a similar physique.

However, what exactly was going on with the humans in this world?

Why couldn't the system detect the power they possessed?
