Novel Bin Chapter 48 - 48: 048 Practice Skills
Under Dean McKenzie’s firm stance, a fire completely burnt the Goblin Tribe in
the wild weeds.
Then, all the goblins of the tribe migrated to a valley in the eastern part of the forest, where the Swiftwind Wolf’s den was located.
No goblin dared to oppose Dean McKenzie’s decision.
On the one hand, it was because of the Swiftwind Wolf corpse that Dean threw out earlier, which seemed as big as a small hill.
On the other hand, the goblins who opposed had been permanently left in the
wild weeds tribe.
After several hours of migration, hundreds of goblins came to the valley.
After arriving in the valley, Dean brought out the Swiftwind Wolf again and handed it over to the old goblin.
Then, hundreds of goblins got busy again.
Those who were tasked with handling the Swiftwind Wolf dealt with the Swiftwind Wolf, those who gathered firewood collected firewood, and those who set up earth stoves set up earth stoves.
Furthermore, because all the eating utensils of the wild weeds tribe had been
burned, the goblins had to remake pots and pans.
In this aspect, Doggy Two and Doggy Three were a great help.
Relying on their powerful strength attribute, and Dean’s micro-control, they managed to make a few huge stone pots in half an hour.
After the stone pots were made, the old goblin painfully cooked the first meal
with 10 Swiftwind Wolves.
Then, the aroma of meat spread throughout the valley.
With the scent of meat drifting in the valley, every goblin present in the valley
had expectation written all over their faces.
When the meat soup was served to all goblins, their faces showed expressions
of happiness.
Although the soup they ate was mixed with a lot of wild weeds and wild vegetables, which in Dean’s eyes was no different from pig food, but from their perspective, it was equivalent to delicacies.
Dean, who was at the valley, watched the scene in front of him.
He realized that in order to change these goblins, the first fundamental step was to ensure that these goblins had material security that could guarantee their lives.
Only when they are not hungry, can conscience be developed.
Values of propriety, justice, integrity and decency could only then be
cultivated.
“How do you usually get food?”
With an idea in mind, Dean, holding a wooden bowl, drank a mouthful of soup and asked the old goblin and Strength.
“Mostly by gathering wild vegetables and fruits, sometimes we are lucky to
catch a prey.”
Strength preemptively answered.
“Haven’t you ever thought of farming and breeding?
“What?”
The old goblin and Strength cast puzzled looks.
Obviously, they have no clue what farming is.
Helplessly, Dean could only rub his forehead, organize his words and explain to them in a way they could understand: “For instance, when you gather food, didn’t you think about planting the seeds of delicious and fulfilling plants with large yield? This way you don’t have to travel far to gather food and you could always have food to eat.
Also, when you hunt, if there’s spare meat or young cubs, you can raise them until they grow up before eating!”
Dean’s description was quite moving to say the least.
The old goblin and Strength listened for long but still didn’t understand.
Why would they want to plant seeds? How would planting seeds provide them food? And how could there be a situation where there was too much hunted meat that they could not finish? They sometimes don’t even have enough to eat, why should they raise a cub?
These two goblins made Dean feel like his head was spinning.
After exchanging glances with them, and seeing their clearly naively foolish
eyes, Dean gave up on explanation.
“Does the tribe have any wild fruits and vegetables? Bring all the wild fruits and vegetables you have to me!”
Dean wanted to screen and see if there were any suitable plants to cultivate.
Surprisingly, there were!
Not long after, the old goblin had the goblins bring a large number of wild fruits and vegetables to him.
Dean saw something a bit familiar among them and instinctively used the Appraisal Skill.
Name: Wild Corn
Level: Level 5
Description: Wild corn, with considerable yield, tastes good and is filling.
It takes about two months to mature from sowing.
“There’s actually this thing. Where do you gather this? Never mind, it’s not important. Tomorrow, you should send a group of goblins to gather this in full force.
Then send another group of goblins to find an open area near the stream along the valley to clear out a piece of farmland!”
Dean didn’t know how long he could stay in this instance, but since he decided to do something, he would have to start quickly.
On the second day, under Dean’s order, the goblins in the valley moved under the command of Ashton Blackweed.
The task of gathering wild corn was simple.
Most of the goblins recognized wild corn, so they could just be asked to go find
it.
For the clearing of the farmland, Ashton Blackweed had difficulties.
in the end, Dean himself had to personally arrive at the scene and command the clearing of the farmland.
Dean’s home before he crossed over was in the countryside, he grew up with his grandparents and had planted corn before.
He knew how to plant this corn.
Under Dean’s guidance, the operation of clearing the cornfield was progressing at a swift pace.
After carrying out the guidance work, instead of leaving, Dean didn’t leave the site of operations and gathered all elite goblins of the Goblin Tribe.
Currently, excluding the old goblin, there were seven elite goblins in the Goblin Tribe.
All of them were gathered by Dean.
When they were gathered, they thought that Dean was preparing to start a fight against a Goblin Tribe or a group of beasts.
It was only until they gathered that they discovered they were gathered solely because Dean wanted to train his skills.
After Dean gathered the goblins, he summoned two pale skeletons from the Land of Bone and equipped them with shields and let these elite goblins practice with them.
This practice made these elite goblins doubt their lives.
Even though there were only two skeletons not exceeding Level 5, they tried their hardest but couldn’t break their defense once the shields were on.
Just when they were about to break the shield, Dean raised his hand and another new Bone Shield was equipped.
Two Pale Skeletons VS Seven Elite Goblins.
After a day, they ended in a draw.
The skeletons didn’t even pant after the fight, while the seven elite goblins were completely exhausted.
After a day, Dean’s Bone Shield made great progress.
On one hand, it was because of the efforts of these goblins, on the other hand, it was because of Dean’s own development of Bone Shield.
While using the skill, Dean wasn’t simply using it mechanically. He tried to understand Bone Shield, even attempted to restore the use of Bone Shield before it was enhanced.
Although he didn’t attack, his proficiency also increased by 50 points after the day.
If he went by this progress, after three or four more days Dean’s [Bone Shield] would be able to level up to Level 3-
“Once the [Bone Shield] is Level 3, it can be considered for a second enhancement.
According to Strength’s information, the Earth-armored Hogs are beasts specializing in defense, they should be able to further enhance the [Bone Shield] skill.”
Now that the defence of Bone Shield has reached 138, if it is raised to Level 3 and then enhanced…
Dean reckoned that even professionals of One-turn might not break his defense!
