Goblin Simulation: Building a Dark Empire-Chapter 136 – Fire Crystal
Li Meng discovered many caves where goblins once lived.
Inside, they were empty, with nothing left.
Not even a whole bone could be seen.
Only some fragments of bones remained.
"Could it be the nomadic barbarians?"
Li Meng thought to himself as he looked down at the sand table.
Something was off, really off!
But Li Meng couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.
After all, the next three years in the future line would be very peaceful.
No major events would occur.
If it were the nomadic barbarians, they couldn't have been gone for so long.
Those barbarian tribe ruins had clearly been abandoned for many years.
"Forget it, better focus on the tribe's development for now!"
Shaking his head, Li Meng dismissed his wild thoughts.
The disappearance of the barbarians might not be a bad thing.
Without competitors, the tribe's development would be much smoother.
After all, wars consume a lot of population.
And post-war population recovery takes a lot of time.
Two hours later, Benben returned.
He brought back yellow clay and water.
Li Meng began expanding the sand table again in the throne cave.
During the day, he expanded the sand table, and at night, of course, he focused on reproduction.
The new batch of tributes finally experienced the might of the Big Iron Rod that night.
This also signaled the end of their peaceful days.
Time passed little by little, day after day.
On the fifth day, leaders of some tribes began to leave the throne tribe.
They would return to their own tribes.
At some point next year, they would return to the throne tribe again.
And bring back some higher-ranking goblins to receive rewards from the leader.
Two months later, they would leave with adolescent goblins.
Their offspring would take the adolescent goblins to continue expanding and building new sub-tribes.
This was the development model Li Meng had established.
It was a new day, in the morning.
Throne Tribe, throne cave.
"Gobu Mo, has any ghost beastman come looking for us this past year?"
In the wooden house, Li Meng was making a sand table.
His tall body sat beside the sand table.
His hands continuously kneaded the clay.
Gobu Mo obediently knelt at the doorway.
"Boss, I haven't seen any ghost beastmen!"
Gobu Mo's answer was as Li Meng expected.
In the future line, "Ghost Hand" appeared very late.
It would take at least a year and a half to appear.
"Are all the Goblin Soldiers assembled?"
Though inside the wooden house, Li Meng could hear the noise outside.
The sounds outside were chaotic and bustling.
Gobu Mo nodded vigorously.
"Boss, they're all here!"
Li Meng stood up and walked outside.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.
Gobu Mo's tall body quickly moved aside at the doorway.
In just a year, Gobu Mo had evolved into a Goblin Warrior.
He was only half a head shorter than Li Meng.
Only after the boss walked out the door did Gobu Mo quickly stand up.
"The boss is out!"
"Shh, quiet!"
When they saw the boss walk out from the doorway.
Hundreds of Goblin Soldiers outside quickly fell silent.
They looked at the tall figure at the doorway with fanaticism.
Although many Goblin Soldiers had never seen the boss.
They had heard how mighty the boss was.
And now, they finally saw the boss.
That imposing figure, those fierce and intimidating eyes made many Goblin Soldiers shiver.
Looking at the sea of Goblin Soldiers outside, Li Meng grinned.
That grin made all the goblins lower their heads in fear.
"Starting today, your task is only one: prepare two months' worth of dry food!"
The boss's words made the Goblin Soldiers, who had their heads lowered, show expressions of joy.
Although jerky wasn't tasty.
Preparing dry food meant there would be another fight.
That's great!
Behind Li Meng, Gobu Mo was also full of excitement.
He had been guarding the throne tribe for a year.
He was long tired of the monotonous days.
"Go, you have half a month!"
The higher-ranking goblins outside the throne cave scattered.
Nearly three hundred Goblin Soldiers rushed into the depths of the forest.
"Boss, boss, who are we going to fight this time?"
Gobu Mo asked ingratiatingly.
"No one!"
Li Meng turned and went back into the throne cave.
Outside, Gobu Mo was puzzled as he watched the boss's figure inside the house.
If they weren't going to fight anyone, why prepare two months' worth of dry food?
Gobu Mo left, somewhat disappointed.
After a while, Li Meng left the throne cave again.
He hurriedly left the throne tribe through the north gate.
Half an hour later, at the Iron Cave.
"Try to mine as much of this ore as possible, just store it for now, it will be useful later."
By the underground river, Li Meng examined the ores emitting a white glow in the water.
Gobu Ge thought the glowing ores in the water looked beautiful.
So he mined some and dumped them into the underground river.
This turned the underground river into a shimmering silver river.
"Got it, boss, I'll have the Lizardmen mine some."
"Boss, boss, I found some glowing stones in the cave again, want to take a look?"
Found some strange ores again?
Li Meng was intrigued.
"Show me!"
What new discovery would Gobu Ge have?
Li Meng was very curious.
Gobu Ge ran into the depths of the cave.
Soon, Gobu Ge returned.
He was holding a large fiery red crystal.
[Fire Crystal]
[Fire Element Magic Power:]
The system actually had an information prompt!
"Boss, boss, this is it!"
Li Meng took the Fire Crystal from Gobu Ge's hands.
Looking down at the Fire Crystal in his hands, Li Meng was thoughtful.
This thing was similar to human crystals.
Except human crystals had unknown attributes.
While the crystal in his hand had fire element attributes.
"Boss, this thing glows and heats up when it meets water, it's hot!"
Glows and heats up when it meets water?
Li Meng's eyes lit up, and he hurried to the water's edge.
At the water's edge, Li Meng threw the Fire Crystal into the water.
"Plop!"
With a "plop," water splashed everywhere.
The Fire Crystal submerged in the water emitted an orange flame glow.
That area of water even started to steam.
Soon, the water surface began to boil.
The information on the Fire Crystal in the water also changed.
The fire element magic power value was continuously decreasing.
But the decrease was slow, only a little every few seconds.
"Interesting!"
The property of the Fire Crystal heating up when it meets water made Li Meng grin.
This was a good thing.
With this, maybe he could create a steam engine.
Though the structure of a steam engine was relatively simple.
Actually making one was still a bit challenging.
It would take time to explore bit by bit.
"Gobu Ge, have you tried putting it in fire to see what happens?"
The Fire Crystal heats up when it meets water, but what about fire?
