Was he going to start industrialization in the Lost Land and help the goblins improve their lives?
The answer was no, of course not!
This had nothing to do with how much of a saint he was. It was purely because the goblins were definitely the worst and most unreliable partners in the Lost Land.
They didn't keep their promises, didn't know how to respect others, were selfish, heartless, and didn't care about loyalty. They were all self-centered. The only way to control them was to hold a knife to their necks. Only then would they be able to obey orders. But as soon as he relaxed, the goblins would revert to their old ways and only do things their own way.
Take for example the time he spent with Totokani, including the time he spent modifying the Sid Airship. In the process of creating or repairing components, as long as someone wasn't watching, the goblins would have "ideas" and make unreasonable attempts. Or they would think that certain processes were too troublesome. In order to save time, they could omit those actions that were "unnecessary" in their eyes.
As long as they argued together, they would say, "What do I think?" Even if they didn't make sense, they would say it confidently. Even if it was a finished product, they liked to modify it, add their own "characteristics" or "design," and then boast shamelessly that it was their own work.
Also, the goblins weren't particular about anything. They always said, "First, get something, then get something good." Then, the "something" would be there, but the "good" might not be there even in the next life. On Earth, it was very common for those who created items to not care about the lives of the users. That was why there were so many black-hearted industries. In the Lost Land, the goblins had reached the point where they didn't care about their own lives. One had to be mentally prepared to work with them.
If they could cut corners, they would. In goblin language, this was called "cost saving."
No matter how terrible or dangerous something was, they would use it without care. In goblin language, this was called "backup plan."
Often, other people's things would run into the goblins' pockets. In goblin language, this was called "resource sharing."
When they saw other people's good things, they would learn and copy them. The most ridiculous thing was that they would make it so nonsensical. In goblin language, this was called "reference."
If this was on Earth, when the judge saw that one of the parties was a goblin, he would make a judgment without both parties having to defend themselves.
To be honest, a certain someone thought that he might be able to get along with their uncivilized compatriots … In any case, he didn't need to think too much about it since he would just kill them the moment he saw them.
Less than three minutes after the Sid docked at Lebap Airport, goblins came forward with hammers and chisels, intending to dismantle the external engine and propeller assembly for research. Then, a group of goblins entered the airship as if they were familiar with the place. They didn't stand on ceremony at all.
Perhaps someone's actions in the past made it seem as if he didn't care about anything. Severing She Li was very efficient. He left as soon as he said he would, without any hesitation. This was because no matter how valuable those things were in the eyes of others, they were not that important to a certain someone.
However, the so-called Otaku only cared about their own little world. Perhaps he would share it with others, but it would only be limited to those who shared the same passion. Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry could casually take out his treasures and destroy them. The goblins' actions had undoubtedly touched on someone's bottom line.
Even if he didn't treat the airship as his most cherished collection, he would at least consider using it as a means of transportation for the upcoming journey. Now that the goblins had dismantled everything, what should he do next?
At first, he tried to persuade them. Later, he directly knocked out the goblins who came to cause trouble, tied them up, and hung them in a conspicuous place. However, the goblins continued to charge forward like zombies, looking as if they wouldn't stop until they dismantled the airship. Then, then there was nothing.
A certain someone was enraged. Darkness shrouded, white light flashed, and in the end, there was a ground full of corpses. Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
After that, the kind goblins filled up the Sid's fuel tank with the crude oil that they had originally planned to spend money on. They even gave them a few barrels of spare oil. Then, he politely sent them off, not asking them to stay for a night or a meal.
Actually, from the beginning, a certain someone hadn't planned to take this step.
However, people who didn't get along just didn't get along. When Lin Huang encountered trouble, he would choose to ignore it. He wouldn't necessarily choose to compromise. Sometimes, taking a step back would only encourage the arrogance of others. This kind of thing didn't only happen in the mysterious land. It happened countless times on Earth as well.
If he wanted to survive under the wings of others, that would be fine. However, Lebap City was just a transitional city to him. The insatiable goblins thought that they could satisfy their greed by relying on numbers. A certain someone made them understand that numbers were very weak for a Mage who didn't follow the mainstream style of the mysterious land.
However, a certain someone regretted it after making a move. After that, he was surprised by the goblins' strange way of thinking.
With so many goblins dead, how big of a grudge would there be? The answer was: no grudge. The only thing he gained was the fear of the goblins.
Most goblins had a weak understanding of family and blood relationships. They didn't even care. Although they lived together as a "group," the goblins in the "group" weren't necessarily related by blood or married men and women. They were just a small organization that made it convenient for them to use each other. To put it nicely, they were cooperating with each other.
Although they weren't like their uncivilized brethren who went around looking for females of other races to mate with, the bond between goblin males and females was only limited to the moment of intercourse. It wasn't limited to the opposite sex in their group. After they were done, they would go their separate ways. When a female gave birth to a child, all the goblins in the group would raise and educate the child together. When the child reached adulthood, they would be kicked out.
They didn't care who died; they only cared about whether the person who lived would be helpful to them. In other words, the goblins' habits were still very close to bestial.
However, Totokani and Polly, who had always been by his side, were not rare among the goblins. They understood that the bond between their families and their contributions other than the exchange of benefits could bring the entire family greater advantages. Most of these goblins were descendants of the nobles of the former Goblin Empire.
In other words, the descendants of the nobles among the goblins were closer to what a civilized race should be like. Meanwhile, their commoners were at the stage between beasts and civilization. As for the uncivilized goblins, other than the fact that they could communicate with each other and knew how to use tools, they were no different from beasts.
This difference caused a chain of disdain to exist among the goblins. This difference was even greater than the difference between nobles and commoners, between extraordinary individuals and ordinary people, and between those with talent and those without talent.
Because of this, even if the dead goblins almost covered the entire street, it didn't hurt the goblin higher-ups who managed this autonomous city. Even the goblins who didn't belong to the nobles didn't feel any grief or indignation at the deaths of others. At most, they were afraid of the group of humans who had attacked and were afraid that the same attack would fall on their heads.
Therefore, although a certain someone had started a massacre, he unexpectedly didn't cause any trouble for himself. Totokani even said proudly, "Don't worry, it's nothing. With this number of people, they'll be born back in three years. Besides, even if you don't do anything, the king will chase the extra people out. Lebap can't feed so many people who don't do anything. "
A certain goblin spoke with enigmatic confidence about a terrifying matter. However, a certain someone didn't intend to delve into it. The more he knew, the deeper he would sink. Besides, he couldn't help much. If he really wanted to release the giant beast that was the industrial revolution, the goblins shouldn't be the ones leading the charge. They would easily drag the entire maze into a ditch.
Of course, this didn't mean that a certain someone was like God, judging the world who had the right to do something and who didn't. If the goblins' own technological progress had really reached the point where they were about to cross that threshold, Lin wouldn't stop them because he didn't think they were qualified. However, the thing that pushed them to cross that threshold couldn't be because he took the initiative to teach them.
The goblin who called himself the Goblin King, but was actually only a count in the Guevana Empire, didn't dare to appear in front of a certain someone. All the official negotiations with Lebap were handled by Totokani. On the other side was a representative of the Goblin King who looked either young or old.
Totokani always stooped in front of the Lich and a certain someone, not daring to stand up straight. However, when he talked to the Goblin King's people, he was arrogant and insufferably arrogant. The moment he opened his mouth, he would ask for mental compensation, late orders, meal fees, and all kinds of extortion. It looked like he was trying to squeeze the Goblin King dry.
A certain someone once again regretted his decision. If Totokani was allowed to continue spouting nonsense, he probably wouldn't stop until he had squeezed three kilograms of oil out of the other party in seven days and seven nights. How could Lin waste so much time in such a place?
Even though he wasn't worth hundreds of thousands per minute, time was money. This was a belief that was deeply ingrained in the bones of a certain transmigrator. Thus, Lin directly interrupted the two goblins who were about to start arguing and directly stated his request. He dismissed the Goblin King's representative and asked him to go back and report his conditions.
Totokani was a little dissatisfied with this and complained a little. In his mind, this trip could be considered a triumphant return to his hometown. Back then, he was forced to leave Lebap City because of his family's decline. Even the treasures that had been passed down in his family had become the collection of other goblins in the name of paying off debts.
This trip, even if he couldn't settle the grievances of the past, he wanted to let others know that he, Totokani, was back!
However, a certain someone didn't seem to intend to cooperate. Even though the Goblin King had obviously expressed his discourtesy of sending the guest off, the human mage only prepared to leave after getting what he needed. He didn't ask for any additional compensation. To a stingy race like them, this was a huge sin. It was something that he could have gotten his hands on, but it slipped through his fingers so easily.
But a certain someone didn't care about that. The goblins' compensation, other than the raw materials, was that all processed goblins had the ability to explode grandly. Who would be tired of living and put a whole bunch of bombs on the plane they were about to take?
As for leaving early, the airship was no different from a ship. There were basic living facilities on it anyway. The reason why most travelers on this path would choose to stop at a certain airport every night was because it was convenient to stay in an inn, lie in a comfortable bed, and have a good night's sleep. There was no need to huddle in a small space on the airship.
Leaving Lebap early this time, it was obvious that the comfortable bed was far away. But Lin had nothing to complain about. The end of this trip was right in front of him.
