I led the Goblin Culture to victory.

Chapter 41 Becoming an Apprentice

Enlian felt like she was back home.

She saw her mother, who was several heads taller than her, come up to greet her in surprise, looking at her side with astonishment.

"You actually brought so much food!"

The youngest sister hugged her happily, but looked away.

"Brother, we don't need to split up the family!"

A boy two heads shorter than her walked up to her, circled around her to look her over, and then put his round bear ears up to show affection.

"Yes, thank you, sister. I want to be like you in the future and become a mercenary who can support my family."

My father's voice came from behind me.

"I caught another wild boar! Wow, you've gotten even better than me."

Enlian turned her head and saw that her father's leg had actually healed!

She happily reached out to touch it, but felt no warmth at all.

"Buzz—"

Enlian slightly opened her eyes.

Her vision was blurry and she couldn't see anything; all she felt was cold and hardness all around her.

It was a dream.

She felt extremely weak, with only sounds constantly filling her ears.

"If you want more people to be close to you, you need to share the benefits."

"A big pot of meat soup, if you eat it all by yourself, not only will you not be able to finish it and it will be a waste, but it will also make others resent you, and it might even attract robbery."

"If you share this pot of soup, everyone will thank you after they've eaten their fill. Then you can take them hunting to get more meat to make soup."

"The same applies to the territory of a kingdom. If you divide up the 'world,' what is not yours will become yours. If you monopolize the 'world,' what is yours will be taken away."

"You need to master two things: the power to allocate resources and the methods to obtain more resources."

"As for the strength to protect the supplies, that's just a byproduct of you doing these two things."

"If you can help others benefit, they will naturally find ways to support you and protect you and your territory."

Hearing these words, Enlian thought of her tribe.

The lifestyle of orcs is not much different from that of wild beasts.

This is especially true of the powerful bear-orcs.

The prey in a small area is hardly enough to feed the enormous-eating bear-beastmen.

They need enough territory to survive.

Therefore, the places they live in are very far apart.

Enlian heard from her mother that before they learned to farm, her mother would drive her father away after giving birth, otherwise there would be no food to eat.

Even if you learn to farm, it only allows a family to live together.

Children will grow up and leave, and other members of the tribe will have no way to live together.

However, in order to prevent human attacks, they must live together and help each other.

This forced the bear-beastmen to form loose tribes.

Five winters ago, the tribal chief's child grew up and ran away.

When he returned six months later, he had lost half an ear, but he brought back enough food to feed two families for a year.

The chieftain no longer drove the children out of their homes, but instead kept them.

Five winters have passed, and their family has become a close-knit clan, with everyone sharing the responsibility of running the household.

Enlian saw happiness in their eyes—the happiness of not worrying about food, the happiness of abundant resources.

That's why she secretly ran away to work as a mercenary.

She also wanted a happy family...

But now?

"But Master, won't they greedily seize all the benefits?"

"Profit is just the most basic thing; you also need to make those who follow you happy. If they are happy, they will spontaneously protect that happiness. If someone is greedy, others will join forces to eliminate him. They are protecting their own happiness, and they are also protecting your happiness."

Oh, she was charging at the goblins earlier.

Then my mind went blank, and I lost consciousness.

Enlian tried to move her body, but found that she couldn't.

Has she been captured by goblins?

But that was a human voice just now.

What's going on?

Enlian used all her strength to lift her eyelids with trembling hands.

She finally saw it.

Around the campfire, a human and two goblins are speaking human language.

Then, on the left, there was another woman, also tied up?

And she was looking at herself.

"Hmm?"

The saintess was somewhat surprised to see the bear-beastman raise his head.

She saw it with her own eyes as the rock hit the bear-man's head!

Humans would be dead by now!

She woke up in just half a day.

They truly live up to their reputation as tough, thick-skinned bear-beastmen.

Li Mosi, along with the old man and the young man, glanced at the saintess, then followed her gaze to the bear-beastman who had raised his head.

The five people stared at each other in the cramped space.

ga-

The sound of vines taut echoed inside the cave.

Snapped!

The vine broke!

Li Mosi stepped forward, took his own spear thrower, and pushed Zi Yi's spear thrower and spear to it. Zi Yi took the spear thrower and attached the spear. The old goblin stood up and opened his arms to the bear-orc.

It was definitely the right decision to personally observe the bear-beastmen!

Everyone quickly got into battle mode, and the bear-beastman also swung his legs to straighten his body.

Zi Yi made a spear-throwing gesture.

But the bear-beastman knelt down with a thud.

"I want to learn too! Please teach me!"

A young woman's voice echoed through the chieftain's cave, causing everyone to freeze in place.

The saintess's eyes also became dazed.

Zi Yi and Li Mosi looked at each other, then at their grandmother.

Li Moss asked, "What do you want to learn?"

Enlian was very excited when she heard this.

"I want to learn that method of making everyone happy that you just mentioned!"

Ordinary goblins are just wild beasts.

But this goblin tribe is clearly not like that.

It must be this man's doing!

She also wants to find a way to bring happiness to the tribe!

[Target state: Excitement, minor, bruise]

It seems like there's no hostility involved?

Li Moss asked in bewilderment, "You want everyone to be happy?"

Enlian nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes!"

Li Moss asked, "Then why did you join the slave-hunting team and cause misery to others?"

"What's the connection between these two?"

Enlian scratched her head.

"I was clearly taking people living in dangerous forests who were starving and naked to a place where food was provided. I heard that the leader there even helps them start families!"

Li Mosi and the old man and the child all fell silent.

Because the bear-orc seemed to be telling the truth.

"Puff puff puff puff—"

The saintess couldn't hold back any longer.

Li Mosi was also finding it difficult to keep a straight face.

It is true that nobles would arrange families for their slaves.

But that was for the purpose of "breeding livestock".

This guy... seems a bit silly?

Li Mosi fell into thought.

As silence fell over the cave, Enlian grew anxious.

Remembering what the man in front of her had just said, she replied, "I can do many things! I'm very strong!"

It is not impossible.

The bear-beastmen couldn't even bind the vines, let alone enforce any control over them.

Either subdue them or kill them.

It would be better to subdue someone as powerful as him.

Li Mosi pointed to the stone wall behind the bear-beastman.

"Go to sleep first, I'll arrange things for you to do tomorrow."

"Okay! I understand!"

Enlian nodded vigorously and looked up at the sky in thought for a moment.

"Thank you, Master!"

"You can't call me that," Li Mosi waved his hand. "Only my disciples can address me that way."

"Then I want to be your disciple!"

The bear-beastman's expression was resolute, and Zi Yi looked at his former master.

Are you really going to take this idiot as your disciple?
