"Aaaaaaah!"
The goblin screamed even louder.
Zhao Chi said, "Keep refusing to talk, and I'll have her stab you in the crotch."
"Aaaah! No, no!"
"Talk! How many of you are there? Where's your tribe?"
"You bastard!"
"Tang Ruan, stab him in the crotch!"
"Yes!"
Tang Ruan was very decisive now.
She pulled out the fishing spear in one swift motion, ready to stab again.
But the goblin kicked his legs wildly.
It was hard to aim at his crotch.
"Don't stab me! I'll talk! We have thirty-five mighty warriors."
"Mighty fucking warriors? Where's your tribe?"
"Over there. Very far away. It takes thirty minutes."
Thirty minutes meant a distance of roughly three kilometers. That was hardly far.
This goblin was no longer of any use.
"Got it. I'll give you a quick release."
At those words, the goblin actually broke into a surprised smile.
"A release? You'll really let me get my release with that woman?"
"...What the hell are you dreaming about? Die." Zhao Chi was speechless.
The machete fell.
The goblin died.
Chapter 14: Battle Results
The battle was over.
Tang Ruan had indeed come through without a scratch.
The petite woman was clearly excited.
She was not afraid of this sort of bloodshed at all.
"You're not scared anymore?"
"No, I'm not. With you by my side, my lord, I'm not afraid of anything."
Zhao Chi smiled. "Good. Hopefully you'll still feel that way once the encouragement skill wears off."
Tang Ruan smiled too. "I'd never fought before. This was my first time. Once my newborn state ends, I probably won't be scared anymore. And with you teaching me, my lord, I'll be sure to learn as quickly as I can and help you again next time."
Zhao Chi nodded. "Good. That's the right attitude. Keep it up."
"Yes! I'll work hard!" Tang Ruan nodded earnestly.
A notification came from the system:
[Your subordinate Tang Ruan's loyalty has increased to 5: Duty-Bound] (Duty-Bound: Basically satisfied with the current situation; will diligently carry out orders and assigned duties)
Her loyalty had increased.
That was good.
With low loyalty, subordinates might disobey orders or even rebel.
They would also slack off at work.
With high loyalty, they would follow orders to the letter.
They would also work hard.
The other female villagers all had four loyalty points at the moment.
Gu Qing had started with five, and now Tang Ruan had five as well.
Five points was not particularly high either.
But he had only just established his territory. He could not ask for too much; he just needed to build it up gradually.
There were other notifications in the system too.
A whole mass of data.
These were the results of this battle.
Zhao Chi quickly checked them.
[Congratulations! Victory!] [Battle results are as follows]: [Combatants] 5 total: 2 allies, 3 enemy goblins [Enemies defeated] Goblins ×3 [Battle difficulty] Easy [Battle performance] Perfect [Battle outcome] Complete victory [Experience bonus] 150% [Team contribution] 100% [Team experience] 375 [Individual contribution] 81% [Individual experience] 304 [Loot] Goblin corpses ×3, crude wooden spears ×3, filthy loincloths ×3, unidentified chunk of meat ×1 [Congratulations! You have reached level 1 and gained 1 enhancement point]
There was a lot of information.
Zhao Chi understood all of it.
The Academy had taught all this, but this was his first time experiencing it firsthand.
Battle difficulty, battle performance, and battle outcome were all part of the system's overall assessment of this battle.
Together, they determined the final experience bonus.
Overall, this battle had gone well.
The overall assessment granted an additional 150% experience.
Only Zhao Chi's team had taken part in this battle, so its contribution was 100%, and all the experience went to his forces.
If he fought alongside other lords later, the experience would be divided according to each lord's army's contribution.
Zhao Chi had personally contributed 81% in this battle.
So he received 81% of those 375 experience points, which came to 304 points.
Tang Ruan received the remaining 19%, which came to 71 points.
Tang Ruan had not gained much experience.
After all, Zhao Chi had led the battle.
Tang Ruan had only lured the goblins over and wounded one, earning her a 19% contribution.
Zhao Chi had devised the battle plan and killed all three goblins himself.
So his contribution was very high.
Tang Ruan had not leveled up yet.
Zhao Chi, however, had risen from level 0 to level 1.
He had gained one enhancement point.
Enhancement points were, of course, used to enhance oneself.
Everyone had four base attributes.
Constitution, strength, agility, and intelligence.
These base attributes were very difficult to increase.
Enhancement points could not improve them either.
Only prolonged training or life-or-death battles offered a chance of a breakthrough.
These base attributes determined many secondary attributes.
"Constitution" determined health, stamina, defense, and resistance.
"Strength" determined attack, carrying capacity, special attack, and blocking.
"Agility" determined movement speed, attack speed, accuracy, and evasion.
"Intelligence" determined spiritual energy, learning, efficiency, and perception.
Enhancement points were used to improve these secondary attributes.
Zhao Chi had already made his plans.
His new race was extremely powerful, and his starting talent suited the commander path.
But ultimately, those were external sources of strength.
