Chapter 4 – Establish authority
"Hey, you there! Where's the ironware? If you don't bring it soon, I'll eat you!"
At this moment, a goblin minor leader holding a stone spear walked over, urging impatiently.
Because the wild boar they had just eaten wasn't enough to go around, they were still hungry.
He wished he could eat Lin Tian right then and there.
His eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he was drooling.
Goblin Moon quickly explained, "Just wait a bit longer. Ironware isn't that easy to make, but we're working hard on it."
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
The stone spear goblin didn't care to listen, pushing Goblin Moon to the ground and waving his stone spear as he shouted.
Lin Tian's expression was cold, and he sneered, "It's ready. The ironware is done. Look at this."
Suddenly, a cold gleam flashed!
A dagger was taken out.
But even though it was a dagger, it was a meter long, making it difficult to hold and dragging on the ground.
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, the surrounding goblins rushed over in excitement.
Having a sword meant they could eat meat and capture higher beings for mating!
Especially the elves to the north, whom these goblins spied on daily. Just watching them was enough to... well, you know.
The stone spear goblin was first stunned, then overjoyed!
He quickly turned and shouted towards the gray-black shack, "Boss! Ironware! It's ironware!"
Swish!
Suddenly!
A cold gleam flashed, and the stone spear goblin's voice was abruptly cut off.
The stone spear in his hand and his body were neatly sliced in half.
Blood and organs spilled all over the ground!
It was Lin Tian who had swung the iron sword with force, cutting him in two! He had long been fed up with this guy.
He reminded Lin Tian of his old boss at work, who used to hassle him over every little thing, urging him constantly.
Looking at the corpse on the ground, Lin Tian felt an immense sense of satisfaction!
"Killed a goblin!"
In an instant, the entire tribe was in an uproar!
The goblins who had gathered around picked up their weapons to resist, their faces twisted in rage, baring their teeth.
If they all pounced on Lin Tian, he wouldn't even have a hair left.
Goblin Moon trembled in fear, "What do we do, Boss? I'm scared."
"Don't worry, that cunning old man won't let anything happen to us."
Lin Tian stood confidently.
Sure enough, the sound of a staff hitting the ground was heard from behind.
The goblin shaman slowly walked out, casting the 'Summon' skill, and all the goblins quieted down.
Then he said, "Hehe, it's really ironware. Very good. I want more, and I want iron armor too."
"Fine, but I need people to help."
Lin Tian replied. The iron ore had to be found by others, while he stayed in the tribe where it was safe.
The goblin shaman pondered for a moment, then used the Summon skill again, making Lin Tian a minor leader.
He could manage thirty goblins.
Although it was a bit few, Lin Tian had to accept it. Otherwise, the cunning old man would definitely become suspicious if he asked for more.
"Thank you, Boss."
Lin Tian deliberately flattered him, making the old man think he had submitted.
Then, the goblin shaman returned to his shack, which no one but him was allowed to enter. Those who had entered before were now natural fertilizer.
"Boss, Boss, wait, it hurts so much..."
On the ground, the minor leader was dragging his half-body, struggling to crawl, hoping the goblin shaman would save him.
After all, being called Cockroach, his vitality was still very strong.
Suddenly, he felt a strong force on his head, as Lin Tian stomped his head into the dirt.
The goblins around were stunned, developing a sense of fear towards this new outsider.
These low-level creatures respected strength above all, and Lin Tian's domineering presence made them somewhat afraid.@@novelbin@@
But that wasn't enough!
Lin Tian coldly glanced at the goblin under his foot, then tore off one of his arms and started chewing!
The goblin, in fear and pain, gradually lost his breath.
Facing such a Lin Tian, the other goblins finally couldn't hold back, putting away all their dissatisfaction, looking timid, not daring to look directly at him.
Even goblins wouldn't eat their own kind alive!
Lin Tian first let Goblin Moon eat her fill, then kicked the rest out, "You guys can eat now."
Instantly, the goblins swarmed over, eating every last bit!
Usually, they couldn't catch prey and went hungry, eyeing each other like they were looking at a big piece of meat.
Finally able to eat, no one held back.
"Boss, you're amazing! You were so scary just now, my legs went weak."
Goblin Moon said admiringly from the side.
Lin Tian smiled faintly, "Don't worry, this is just the first day. I won't forget you."
"Brother Lin, what should we do now?"
Find the original at ".
At this moment, the goblins asked, all looking confused, not knowing what to do.
Hearing this, Lin Tian almost fainted, "Just call me Brother Lin, don't call me Second-in-command."
He said, giving the first goblin who called him Second-in-command a punch, to make it effective, like training a dog.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Tian said, "Do you want ironware?"
"Yes, Brother Lin!"
Hearing the word ironware, the goblins' eyes lit up.
"Do you want to mate with humans?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
"Do you want to eat meat until you're full?"
"Yes!"
"Do you want to mate with elves?"
"Absolutely! Ahhh! Elves!!!"
With just a few words, the goblins were extremely excited. They would probably be willing to die for ironware.
They all raised their arms, shouting long live Brother Lin.
At this moment, no one noticed the goblin shaman in the shack, staring at Lin Tian through the darkness, his expression complex.
Seeing the mood was about right, Lin Tian then arranged, "All of you, go out and find all kinds of stones for me, the more the better!"
"Brother Lin, why do we need to find stones?"
A goblin scratched his big head, puzzled.
An attention seeker jumped out, "Brother Lin must like eating walnuts, to crack them open!"
"Your head looks like a walnut. It's an important step in smelting iron, now go find them."
Lin Tian said impatiently.
Because explaining what kind of ore was iron ore would be impossible for them to understand.
Only when someone found one, and they saw it with their own eyes, could they tell the difference.
Anyway, he didn't have to go find them, he could order them around however he wanted.
The goblins lacked many things, but they didn't lack people.
***
But it took a full two days before a goblin finally found a piece of iron ore.
In the following days, all the goblins went out searching, until they turned the area upside down, but still didn't find much.
Indeed, iron ore, as a rare resource, was coveted by high-intelligence races.
It seemed they would have to seize the elves' iron ore points later.
"Almost ten days and we only got this little, barely enough to make ten daggers."
Lin Tian said bitterly, looking at the seven or eight pieces of ore in front of him.
But a thought struck him. Since they couldn't make many daggers, they could make spears! At least fifty spearheads!
The spear shafts could be replaced with sturdy wood.
Fifty spears would be enough to take down the elves' iron ore point, then fully arm themselves. Within a ten-kilometer radius, no creature would dare provoke this tribe!
***
After another day, they made a mud stove, making it easier to smelt iron.
The other goblins were responsible for breaking the ore into small pieces.
"You guys, come over here and keep the fire going. If the fire gets low, I'll throw you in!"
Lin Tian instructed. The melting point of iron was over fifteen hundred degrees, so the fire had to be big and strong.
The entire tribe was illuminated by the firelight all night long!
While the iron was being smelted, Lin Tian first trained two goblins in blacksmithing, making molds and such, otherwise, he would tire himself out.
Lin Tian then asked Goblin Moon, "What kind of weapon do you like?"
She was the first female goblin in history. Not only did he need to make her a weapon, but also a set of simple armor.
Goblin Moon was at a loss, "I, I don't know."
"You said you like the moon, so I'll make you a crescent blade."
Everything was finally ready, and the Life Simulation count was refreshed.
Now was the time.
Sitting there, Lin Tian's gaze involuntarily turned to the central shack.
That old man would probably kill him once he finished making these weapons.
So he had to be fully prepared.
"System, start Life Simulation."
