After hearing Lorraine's brainwashing, no... encouragement, the goblin brothers in the audience were all excited. They picked up the short bows and quivers that Lorraine had tailored for them and held them high. The morale of the entire goblin tribe soared.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host. By constantly encouraging your goblins, relying on the memory of Seele in your previous life, and with the blessing of your talent [Ultimate Growth Body], you unexpectedly awakened your talent skill and obtained the skill [Pre-Battle Speech]!"
[Pre-Battle Speech: Active skill. You can give a speech before a battle to boost the morale of your subordinates. All subordinates who hear the speech will gain a 10% increase in all attributes and reduce their perception of pain by 50%. This lasts for 60 minutes and has a cooldown of 24 hours.]
After giving a speech to his goblins, a system prompt sounded in Lorraine's mind.
'Oh my god? Are you kidding me? Can skills be awakened like this? Isn't the talent of this [Ultimate Growth Form] too incredible? It's worthy of being called a plug-in system, it's so powerful!'
For ordinary creatures to acquire new skills, they often need a lot of practice, gain insights through constant training, or stimulate the potential of their bodies in desperate situations, which results in the favor of the gods, who grant them new abilities.
From this perspective, this system, which rewards those who have many children and good fortune, might actually be some kind of god?
Moreover, judging from the [Thunder Technique] obtained from Freya and the situation of devouring the Goblin Shaman, as long as he train with powerful females or devour powerful male creatures, there's a chance to awaken new skills or abilities through the talent of [Ultimate Growth Body].
And the probability is not low!
In that case, it's time to capture new females as soon as possible, to serve as part of his harem, and train them vigorously.
Because relying on devouring powerful male creatures to increase strength is extremely difficult and inefficient.
[Degraded Liquid] has characteristic limitations. This liquid, which is almost invincible in close combat, only produces miraculous effects in female organisms and has no effect on males. In addition, devouring male organisms doesn't yield any experience points for the explorer.
What is even more challenging is that only by practicing spiritual and energy exchanges with female creatures—especially new females with whom one has never had deep contact—can he substantially increase your experience points, level up, and break through the level limit, stimulating higher-level racial abilities hidden in your blood.
So where to get new females next?
It would definitely not work for an ordinary female. Lorraine had finally traveled to another world, so how could he let his second brother suffer and eat those street snacks?
He must feast on delicacies—at least something as good-looking and figure-filled as Freya.
What's more, ordinary females don't have many ability points, and the [Ultimate Growth Body] has no way to gain experience points from those females, let alone break through the level limit.
But with the current level of goblins, it's still very difficult to defeat humans...
The goblin race has very low initial ability values, lacks intelligence, doesn't obey orders, and is timid. The goblin shaman is able to control the goblin tribe thanks to the incredible skill [Command Call].
Without this skill, even these goblins being his descendants wouldn't make any difference.
In the goblin worldview, there's no concept of parents.
Therefore, goblins generally can only grow to level 20. Some goblins are lucky enough to mate with multiple females, breaking through the level limit and evolving into big goblins or even advanced or heroic goblins.
But such cases are rare. Even the most common advanced species, like Goblin Shamans, are extremely rare. Only about one will be born in a dozen goblin tribes.
The reason goblins have survived in this world is entirely due to their powerful reproductive abilities.
Without reproductive isolation, even if you catch a female lizard, you can mass-produce baby goblins.
Moreover, a female creature impregnated by a goblin will give birth to goblin cubs ten days later, producing at least five or six goblin cubs in one litter.
It only takes a month to create a litter of adult goblins from scratch. After ten days of pregnancy, the rest of the goblins will line up to give birth.
In other words, as long as there's enough food, theoretically, countless goblin cubs will appear, and reproduction will occur rapidly.
Coupled with the evil tastes of some gods, other creatures subconsciously believe that the goblin race won't pose a threat. This is why weak creatures like goblins have managed to survive for so long in this continent of swords and magic.
Despite this, Lorraine is still not completely sure that he can conquer the elven tribe with the current 47 ordinary goblins. No, it's impossible to conquer it at all.
So, now he can only find a way to obtain a large number of goblin subordinates in a short period of time, and then use the [Thought Seal] to transform them into absolutely loyal subordinates, to expand his territory and harem.
That's right!
Wouldn't it be enough to just recruit all the wild goblins from the nearby goblin tribes?
Thinking of this, Lorraine clapped his hands and made a plan.
After all, there's such a shortage of females now, and it's impossible for him to catch females for his goblins to reproduce. That would take too long. Besides, Lorraine himself is still short of women, so how can he possibly give women to his goblins? At most, he can give them some female animals, monsters, or vulgar village women and fat women. It just so happens that the goblins are under the influence of [Thought Seal] and only like this kind of thing.
However, there is still a lack of combat power. After all, it's unknown whether there are any advanced species like big goblins or goblin shamans in the goblin tribes outside.
If he runs into them and tries to steal someone's girl in front of them, a fight is inevitable. So, he needs to improve his fighting power before setting off again.
At this moment, the three-haired goblin slowly walked towards Lorraine and asked in awe, "Boss, are we going to set off now? Or do we need to make some more preparations?"
Lorraine turned around and looked at the three-haired goblin with a thoughtful expression on his face.
He suddenly realized a problem and asked curiously, "Don't worry about this. We need to make enough preparations before we can set off. By the way, what's your name?"
The three-haired goblin suddenly looked a little confused. He scratched his three sparse hairs unconsciously and answered doubtfully, "Name? We ordinary goblins usually don't have names. But you some times call me San."
From his tone, one can tell that he is unfamiliar with the concept of "name."
After hearing this, Lorraine pondered for a while and felt that this was not a long-term solution, so he decided to do something.
He said, "In that case, I will continue to call you San."
After saying that, Lorraine turned to the goblin captains behind San and added seriously, "And you, in order to make communication between us smoother, I will also give each of you a name."
When they heard that Lorraine was going to give names to these ordinary goblins, Sanmao Goblin and several other goblin captains immediately showed expressions of incredible excitement on their faces.
The goblins jumped up and down excitedly, their eyes sparkling with infinite admiration and gratitude for Lorraine, "Really? Boss Lorraine, are you really going to give us a name?"
Their voices were full of surprise and expectation. This was undoubtedly a new beginning for them, as well as an affirmation and enhancement of their identity and strength.
Facing the question from the three-haired goblin, Lorraine gently shook his head and answered calmly and confidently, "What's so strange about naming? It's no big deal."
Goblins thought of Lorraine's extraordinary deeds in the past, especially his feat of defeating the high-level goblin shaman with his own hands, and couldn't help but be filled with awe of Lorraine's strength and wisdom.
They realized that there must be a reason why Boss Lorraine made such a decision.
Therefore, San said no more but stood there quietly, waiting expectantly for Lorraine to name him and others officially, with curiosity and anticipation flashing in his eyes.
At this time, Lorraine's gaze slowly swept across every goblin present. His eyes not only showed the decisiveness of a leader, but also a deep concern for these companions.
For Lorraine, giving these goblins names is not only for the convenience of calling them but also to make each of them feel their own uniqueness and sense of belonging, and to let them understand that in this tribe, every member is unique and important.
Of course, the main purpose is to make it easier to distinguish them. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to point at the goblin heads one by one every time you give an order.
So, Lorraine began to think carefully about the characteristics and personalities of each goblin, preparing to give them a name that would reflect their characteristics and make them proud.
Lorraine carefully observed the three-haired goblin for a while, and his eyes finally stopped on the three unique and sparse hairs.
After some thought, Lorraine finally made a decision. He said gently, "So from now on you are officially San."
As soon as he finished speaking, a faint light suddenly appeared on the body of the three haired goblin, as if it was a reflection of his recognition and joy for the new name.
Then, San was so excited that he danced with joy. His reaction was even happier than if he had won a lottery ticket.
In front of Lorraine, San excitedly expressed his gratitude. His tears and snot mixed with a sincere and loyal oath, "Thank you, Boss Lorraine! In the future, I, San, will go all out to help you expand your power, contribute my strength, and capture countless women for you!"
Lorraine's gaze then turned to the captains of the other goblin hunting teams standing behind San.
In order to improve the tribe's hunting efficiency and organizational structure, Lorraine cleverly divided the goblins in the tribe into five teams and selected the goblins with the strongest attributes and highest levels to serve as captains of their respective teams.
In order to further enhance the cohesion among the teams and improve the convenience of command, Lorraine decided to give names to the five goblin team leaders.
He named them succinctly and clearly as Gob One, Gob Two, Gob Three, Gob Four, and Gob Five.
Although this naming method is simple, it greatly facilitates Lorraine's command and management of the team. It also makes every team leader feel their importance and identity.
Well...actually Lorraine was just too lazy to think about it.
The five goblin captains who were named by Lorraine also jumped up excitedly, and a faint white light appeared on their bodies.
However, after naming Goblin Five, Lorraine felt as if his body had been drained, as though he had expended his energy in a strenuous battle.
Soon, Lorraine felt a sharp pain in his waist, as if his strength had been completely depleted, and collapsed to the ground.
Before losing consciousness, Lorraine checked his status panel.
