As soon as Gobra spoke, it almost silenced Gobro, who nearly couldn’t hold it together.

“I didn’t eat shit, I just grew this big suddenly. Anyway, enough about that, have you eaten enough?”

“No, I haven’t,” Gobra shook his head honestly, then wanted to ask Gobro how he grew so big without eating shit. But Gobro didn’t give him a chance to speak.

“If you haven’t eaten enough, follow me. Do as I say.”

“Oh, okay.” Gobra still remembered Gobro’s display of power earlier and was still a bit afraid of him. So, he obediently agreed and followed.

“Don’t speak, just follow me.” After saying that, Gobro turned and started walking.

Upon hearing Gobro’s command, Gobra obediently trailed behind him, wanting to ask what they were going to do but remembering that Gobro had told him not to speak. Gobra figured that with Gobro’s size now, he was definitely not a match for him, so it was better to just follow orders.

Soon, Gobro found a few thick wooden sticks along the way, picked one up, and handed it to Gobra. He planned to go hunting alone, but since he couldn’t possibly eat all the meat of a magical beast before it began to spoil, he figured he might as well train Gobra. After all, this kid did remember to ask him about food.

The two arrived at their usual hunting spot.

“This time, don’t tell any goblins or trolls about this hunt. Got it?”

“Got it.” Gobra didn’t know why Gobro wanted to bring him hunting or why they couldn’t tell the other goblins, but since he couldn’t beat Gobro, he knew that not listening would get him a beating, so he kept quiet.

Soon, Gobro spotted a wild boar in the distance. He turned to Gobra and said, “Stay here. I’ll drive the boar towards you. Once it gets within your reach, hit it with the stick, understood?”

“Okay, okay,” Gobra nodded quickly.

With that, Gobra hid behind a large tree as instructed. Gobro, meanwhile, crept behind the wild boar.

The wild boar, which had been grazing on roots, suddenly grew cautious and looked around, sensing something amiss. Though it didn’t see anything, its steps became more hesitant.

Seeing that the boar was ready to flee, Gobro suddenly jumped out from the bushes with a loud shriek. His larger-than-average goblin frame and the sudden movement made the small wild boar, barely a meter long, instinctively run in the opposite direction.

Gobro, faster than the boar, gave chase. It was clear that Gobro would catch up soon.

Bang!

A moment later, as the wild boar ran past a large tree, a thick wooden stick suddenly appeared from behind the tree and struck the boar's body. Though it didn’t hit the boar’s head, the blow caused enough pain to make the boar falter and slow down. Gobra, after striking the first blow, had his stick flung out of his hand by the force of the impact, unable to strike a second blow.

As the boar regained its speed, Gobro had already closed the gap, snatching up a new stick. With a powerful strike from his level-5 strength, he hit the wild boar with a critical blow.

Crack!

This sound was different from before. While Gobra’s strike had only caused the boar pain, Gobro’s blow smashed through the boar’s body, sending blood and flesh flying. The stick in Gobro’s hand snapped in two, and the boar let out a pitiful cry.

But the cry was short-lived. A broken piece of wood impaled the boar’s throat, silencing its scream. With a brutal shove, Gobro pushed the stick further in.

Thud.

The wild boar collapsed heavily to the ground, dead.

Gobra stared in shock at the fallen boar. It had been so easy to bring it down. In the past, they had to chase after wild boars for a long time, but now, with just the two of them, they had succeeded so quickly. Gobra couldn’t help but feel like he was dreaming.

Looking at the boar’s carcass, Gobro hesitated but decided not to roast it. The smell of cooking meat was too strong, and he feared it might attract the trolls.

Gobra, seeing the wild boar lying there, instinctively licked his lips and wanted to drag it back.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m going to drag the boar back.”

“Drag what? Didn’t I tell you? Don’t let any goblins or trolls know about this hunt. This is our prize, and we’re eating it here!” With that, Gobro ripped a leg off the boar and handed it to Gobra.

Seeing the leg, Gobra hesitated for a second before quickly snatching it from Gobro’s hands and began eating it in large bites.

‘Since Gobro told me to eat it, it should be fine, right?’ Gobra thought to himself.

Seeing Gobra’s greedy actions, Gobro frowned. He snatched the leg back from Gobra’s hands, causing Gobra to glare at him angrily.

Smack!

Gobro slapped Gobra, waking him up.

Gobra stared at him in fear, not understanding why he’d been slapped. After all, it was Gobro who told him to eat it, and now he was taking it back.

“Take it slowly from my hands, don’t just snatch it,” Gobro said. Since he had decided to take Gobra under his wing, he needed to start teaching him proper manners. He didn’t want to use such harsh methods, but there wasn’t much time now, so he had to be firm.

Hearing Gobro’s words, Gobra hesitated for a moment, then slowly reached out and took the leg from Gobro’s hands, glancing at him nervously.

“Eat,” Gobro said.

Gobra began to chew the meat eagerly, and while Gobro didn’t stop him from eating like this, he didn’t mind it too much. It was a small matter.

Soon, Gobro rummaged through the wild boar’s carcass. Before long, he found a small black crystal.

This was a magic crystal.

[Item Name: First-Grade Magic Crystal]

[Effect: Can be used for weapon enhancement, formation rituals... Consuming ten first-grade magic crystals can trigger the next simulation.]

‘Ten magic crystals for a simulation? That’s not too bad. At this rate, it won’t take long to gather ten first-grade magic crystals.’ Gobro thought as he examined the crystal.

After checking out the magic crystal, Gobro started to eat the wild boar himself. His larger size meant that he had a bigger appetite than regular goblins. Though he didn’t finish the whole boar in one sitting, he ate a large portion. When he had finally eaten his fill, he noticed that Gobra was still staring at the remaining carcass of the boar, clearly eyeing it greedily.
