But they were much stronger than Humans of the same size.
Their total stats only came to 17 points.
But their agility was on par with Elves.
They were very nimble.
Their racial talent reflected this as well, directly increasing evasion by 10%.
Seven Goblins could be replenished each day.
They also arrived as refugees.
They could reproduce naturally too. Though it was still slow, it was much faster than for Humans.
They could be born in about three months.
Aside from Skeletons, they had the highest daily replenishment among the starting races.
But Goblins could produce goods and craft items, making them far better than Skeletons in that respect.
The quality of their finished products was just a little lower.
Though Goblins were numerous, their will to fight was poor.
When they had the advantage, they would swarm the enemy.
When they were at a disadvantage, their morale easily collapsed.
So it was best to fight only battles where they held the advantage.
As long as they maintained numerical superiority, fighting would not be too difficult.
Humans did not like the appearance of Goblins either.
So their appearance rating was very low.
Both had a rating of 3, but Orcs were described as fearsome-looking.
Goblins, meanwhile, were described as sleazy-looking.
Chapter 8: Racial Adjustments
He had finished reviewing all the races.
Each of the five races had its strengths and weaknesses.
[Humans] could fight and produce goods, with well-balanced stats.
[Orcs] were the strongest in melee, fierce and brave in battle, but produced lower-quality goods.
[Elves] were strong at range and attractive, but weaker in melee. Their production abilities were good, just like those of Humans.
[Skeletons] were the most numerous and utterly fearless, but could not produce supplies. They could only capture prisoners to do the work.
[Goblins] were numerous and offered many tactical options, but produced lower-quality goods and easily broke when a battle turned against them.
Zhao Chi did not agonize over which race to choose.
Instead, he clicked on the racial attributes.
Golden light appeared.
The current race meets the conditions for "Transplant Flowers, Connect Jade." Transfer information?
Transfer.
Please select a transfer target.
Zhao Chi gave it some thought.
He decided to keep Humans as the base and transfer information from the other races.
After all, they would be spending every day together.
Having Humans around would still be the most pleasing and comfortable for him.
First, he transferred lifespan.
Naturally, he chose the Elves' exceptionally long lifespan of 1,000 years.
But he kept the age of adulthood at the Human age of eighteen.
This way...
From eighteen to three hundred, they would all remain in their youthful prime.
Their appearance and bodies would stay at their peak throughout.
He left height and weight unchanged, keeping them the same size as Humans.
If he made them as large as Orcs, they would consume vast amounts of food, and that bulky build would not look very good either.
Besides, a larger body would make them easier for enemies to hit.
If he made them as small as Goblins, they would only be able to reach an enemy's waist, making headshots difficult.
The current Human height and weight were just right.
He changed their appearance to the Elf Race's average rating of 6.
As for stats:
He transferred the Orcs' constitution and strength, along with the Elves' agility and intelligence.
That brought every Human stat to 6, raising their total stats to 24.
For replenishment, he chose the Skeletons' rate of ten per day.
For their talent, he chose the Skeletons' Fearlessness.
Zhao Chi had checked it carefully.
This "Fearlessness" merely prevented morale from collapsing and made them fearless in battle.
They would still retain the full range of Human emotions.
It would not strip away emotions such as apprehension and fear.
They would still fear pain and injury, but advance into the enemy's blades.
They would still fear death, but would not shrink back because of that fear.
It was fearlessness of will!
Not an absence of emotion!
Besides the information listed...
There was plenty of other information he could select.
Sex, for example.
Skeletons had no sex.
Elves, however, could be set as male or female.
He could also choose how they appeared.
Skeletons crawled out of the ground.
Elves were born from the tree of life, so their sex could be chosen.
Zhao Chi thought it over carefully for a while.
His current talent was well suited to leading female soldiers into battle.
If he transferred the Elves' sex setting, he could choose to make them all women.
As for how they were produced... he might as well have them emerge from the ground.
After all, the tree of life could be destroyed.
Refugees could also be harmed by enemies.
Emerging from the ground was still the safest option.
After weighing it all up...
He finally decided.
They would all be female and emerge from the ground.
The Humans in the territory world were not the same kind of Humans as those in reality.
And now that Zhao Chi had altered their information, the differences were even greater.
They could be considered new humans.
Beyond these...
There was plenty more information he could transfer.
For example, he also transferred the traits he had used when merging the female heroes earlier: the Elves' slender waists, smooth, supple skin, long legs, and beautiful feet.
Another system prompt appeared:
Retain the Human female reproductive system?
Honestly, those organs were no longer useful.
After all, they were now produced from the ground.
And they were all female.
But... without those organs, they would be incomplete.
They really would be completely different from Humans.
Better keep them.
He selected [Retain].
Zhao Chi thought for a while longer and finished transferring the other minor details.
At last, all the information had been transferred.
First racial data transfer. Restrictions lifted. Success rate: 100%. Confirm?
