Chapter 49: Reason Overcame Hunger
“Gaba! Gaba!” (Spare me! Powerful ants!)
“Gaba!! Gaba!” (Spare me!! Take all the stones in the cave! You can have all the females in there too!)
There was no way she would spare them.
Whether for the fallen ant clan or for the Experience Value they carried, they could not be spared!
But what did they say about the stones in the cave?
Lin Yu looked at the discarded wooden staff, which had a few red, translucent stones embedded in it.
Were these the stones? Something like magical ore?
They looked somewhat appealing and should sell for a good price.
Money is a good thing.
With money, you can buy delicious food, soft beds, a phone, a computer, and even a large villa… Ah, sorry, those seem to be inappropriate thoughts.
Back to the matter at hand, since the enemy general had been captured, it was time to end the battle.
Lin Yu gave orders to the Military Ants present.
They opened their mouths.
“Chirp!!!”
Hundreds of Military Ants let out a sound in unison. The Goblins who heard it saw their tribe’s wizard and king lying beneath the ants’ feet.
Then the Goblins began to scream, appearing terrified.
Seeing that their goal was achieved, Lin Yu ordered the Military Ants and Weak Ants to launch their attack.
After a moment.
More than a thousand Goblins were killed on the spot, and the few remaining were injured and near death.
Among them were 19 Big Goblins and 8 Goblin Warriors, all severely wounded and incapacitated.
Additionally, there were the Goblin Wizard and the Goblin King, who were also grievously injured and disabled after the Military Ants seized their opportunity to attack.
As for the losses of the ant swarm.
In this battle, thirty Military Ants perished and over two hundred Weak Ants, with many light and serious injuries uncounted.
More than half of the fallen Military Ants were slain by the Goblin Wizard and Goblin King, while the remainder fell to Big Goblins and Goblin Warriors.
Nearly a hundred of the deceased Weak Ants died while depleting the Goblin King’s Magic Value, and the rest perished in battles with other goblins.
Lin Yu ordered the seriously injured Military Ants to eliminate the remaining ordinary goblins. Though ordinary goblins offered little experience, their numbers should suffice for these injured Military Ants to level up and restore their Health Value.
As for the seriously injured Weak Ants without qualifications, nothing could be done; they had already reached their maximum level.
…
Now it was her turn to make an appearance!
There were many low-health creatures; these were all precious Experience Value and must not be wasted.
Typically, the further you progress, the more Experience Points you need. So, to maximize the benefits from the Magic Points that fully restore upon leveling up, it would be best to handle the lower-level Big Goblins and Goblin Warriors first.
So, Lin Yu rode her daughter over to the fallen Big Goblins.
Then she dismounted and approached one of the Big Goblins.
“Gaba…” (spare me…)
This Big Goblin was near death from blood loss, its voice weak.
Poor little creature, wait…
She instinctively glanced at a spot.
Big guy…
Don’t be afraid, it will be over soon.
If you see my lovely daughters over there, please say hello to them for me.
The sharp jaws of the white ant pierced the Big Goblin’s neck.
In the next moment, the Big Goblin ceased breathing, and its Health Value dropped to zero.
The Experience Bar suddenly jumped significantly, but she hadn’t leveled up yet.
She then swiftly killed two more weakened Big Goblins—
/Experience Value gained and qualifications met, class upgraded, level increased.
/Class D upgraded to Class C, level LV.20 reset to LV.1, all stats restored.
/Choose one of three blessings: ① Gain the skill “Talent of Shields” ② Gain the skill “Magnification” ③ Gain the skill “Fireball.”
Hooray! She had leveled up!
And indeed, the Gift Options were all skills. Wonderful!
Let’s examine them…
“Talent of Shields”: The ability to skillfully use shield techniques.
“Magnification”: Temporarily greatly increases strength and health attributes.
“Fireball”: A common low-level magic. Upon activation, it creates a fireball that is shot at a target. When the fireball strikes an object, it explodes and scatters, causing extra damage. The range and power are affected by various factors.
The first one was “Talent of Shields,” another skill from the talent series…
Unfortunately, in their current state, they couldn’t hold a sword or a shield.
And there was no shield here; they did have a sword, though…
The next skill was “Magnification.”
From the instructions, it seemed…
It looked very powerful! It felt like an outrageous cheating skill, just like “Captain Command.”
Also, she really liked the name of the skill.
In any case, if nothing went wrong, she would choose it.
And the last option was… “Fireball.”
“Fireball”?
Was that the same move used by the Goblin Wizard before? It did look very strong, but the description said it was a “common low-level magic,” so it felt like a very ordinary skill.
Huh, wait a minute…
She felt like she was missing something, and it was something very crucial… something very important…
Hmm…
Fireball… fireball…
It’s not a ball, it’s fire!
A fireball is just fire, right!!
If there’s fire, we can eat grilled meat! Warm and delicious grilled meat! No bloody taste, just tasty grilled meat!
I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat!!!
Ah, she was drooling…
She wanted to choose this skill! She wanted to eat grilled meat!
Could she choose this skill? Could she?
But… it seemed like “Magnification” Big Brother was waving at her, and she felt like she would regret not choosing it later.
What should she do, what should she do!!
She really wanted them all. Could she have them all? Please, Sister Voice of Heaven!
/Please choose your blessing.
It was truly unfeeling to urge her to choose at this moment!
Um… wow… it was so hard to choose.
If she chose “Fireball,” she felt like she would regret it later.
And if she chose “Magnification,” she felt like she would regret it now, but maybe she would thank herself for making that choice in the future.
Be rational… she needed to choose rationally.
She must not let her appetite control her!
She…
Lin Yu swallowed hard.
Please, please give me…
Please give me the “Magnification” skill! Oh… my barbecue…
/Blessing granted.
The Voice of Heaven’s emotionless voice echoed in her mind.
Then Lin Yu saw a new skill appear on her panel— “Magnification.”
In the end, reason won over appetite.
This was the second time she felt a lack of hope after being splashed with dirty water.
Barbecued meat no longer mattered.
Raw meat is tasty! She loved eating raw meat!
Ah hahaha… she was fine… really, she was fine… ah hahaha…
After feeling down for a while, the girl planned to lift her head and look ahead.
