[Attacked!]

The next morning, I paid a total of 10 Black Spirit Crystals to temporary rent a storage box that I could use to keep a total of 10,000 Units of items within my room. With storage box had already been delivered to my room, I put a part of my inventory into the storage box before I exit the room with my Compartment bag with only 5000 of the disposable trash.

The moment I entered the Crystal Cave, I immediately activate the battery to start my mining process. 400 crystals in 100 minutes, I repeated the same sequence for a total of three hundred minutes, ending up with 1200 crystals and 106 Crystalized Stones in my hand, before I totally convert all the remaining trash into another set of 10 batteries.

Leaving the Crystal Cave, I went directly to the Ore Cave to prepare for the Brass Component Mining. Like usual, I spread my Scan Skill along the tunnel as I'm going in, and not up to my expectation, the density of the Brass Component within the tunnel's wall of rock is not too dense. This cause the mining progress for each full cart only could help in yield about 3-4% of Brass Component.

But without any choice, as this is a free cave, I proceed with the mining. It just this time, Instead of persistently mining for few full carts and return to the milling area, I do it in a more different way. With the assistance of the batteries speed and also the available resources in the Trash Area for my disposal, I run the progress in an eighty minutes mining each time I enter the tunnel.

Usually, forty minutes is required for me to properly mine a full cart, but this under this method, I could mine a full cart under twenty minutes. With 80 minutes spent, I enter and exits the tunnel with four full carts each time. While for the remaining two batteries, I actually know where to spend them efficiently.

If you are thinking about activating it with the millstone, then you are correct. But the result over-amazed me because, with the assistance of the battery, the millstone actually turned into a power grinder, where a thousand of mining rocks is grounded into pure powder within two minutes. A total of eight minutes is used on getting all the mining rocks completely milled before I went over to the sieving area. This is nothing much, as I sieved the material I need and reconvert the batteries to its full capacity, packed up a good amount of the trash in my inventory, and head back into the tunnel.

With this arrangement, actually managed to completely mine a total of twenty full carts in six hours and forty minutes. A double yield from what It was supposed to be. But of course, the total time spent within this cave reached almost seven and a half hours, because of other works. But since I had already spent my whole day within this two cave, I've decided to return for a rest before tomorrow again.

But the moment I about to reach the Ling Hun Town, an unforgettable sight appears before me. Something that I usually see when playing games and the online game actually appears before my sight. I'm actually quite lucky to not being involved in this, but in the same time, It would be terrible if all this is going to affect the Ling Hun Town in the future.

An army of goblins, at least around 500 of them are fighting before the Town Wall with the intention to plunder all our resources and women back to their village. First of all, how could such a large army of goblins appear out of sudden? Is there a Goblin Village or Settlement nearby? But I wait not and continue on my path quickly towards the rear gate of the town, where all the people from outside could still sneak into the town under the guards' protection.

But the moment I started to get closer to that rear entrance, I noticed a few movements from another spot not too far from me. "SCAN!" I quickly spread my skill around to observe the threats, and up to my expectation, there is actually about twenty of the Goblins hiding in a secluded corner, depending on their skin colour to sneak closer to the rear entrance.

"There is Goblins on your right! Goblins on your Fu*king Right!!" I shout as I pick up my speed to quickly enter the rear entrance. In my estimation, fifteen seconds! I would be able to reach the entrance at fifteen seconds! I charge like there is no tomorrow, as all the guards withdraw their weapon to face their left-hand side, where about ten of the goblins stands up and begin to charge over to the humans.

"Goblins! Goblins on the rear gate! Close the door now!" a guard shouts as he gave an order to those above the walls. Very quickly, the chain wheel that controlling the pulley for the door is lowered, and the gap quickly closes without any hint of stopping for some remaining people to quickly enters. I became worried, "just six more seconds!" came into my mind.

I looked at the gap between the door and also the guard that lowering the pulley, and wished to just shout "I am the one warning you motherfu*ker! At least let me enter!" but I know that won't work at this time. All I could do is muster a little more strength, and reduce my distance as I run over to the door. Then, a "Fushh!" sound could be heard, as the guard on the pulley is injured and falls down from the wall.

He died on the spot, because of the poisonous arrow and also falling from such height, but this also means the door stopped closing! Save me and quickly enters the town or helps them so another person could close the door? If the door is unclosed, the possibility of Goblin infesting the town will be expected, but if it's closed, that means my possibility of dying, is almost confirmed.

I hesitate for a moment before I pointed my bracer at the Goblin with a short bow. I jerk my finger a little, as two needles are shot towards the Goblin. Since it is a sneak attack, the goblin died on the spot. I already stopped running. Since I had already taken a move in taking away a life, why should I stop? I felt a hint of an urge to continue killing appears within my heart and I walked in caution towards the spot where two sides are fighting.

"ZIP!" two needles pierce through a goblin with a mace on its hand and fall dead immediately. The number of goblins quickly reduce, from an initial twenty-five goblins into just three left. The three wished to escape as they turned around to run, but an arrow is shot, and immediately kills one, leaving two. Then, a Flying Axe travels from far and immediately kills off another, while I jerk my finger once again, and kills off the last one.

Since I only have a total of four sets of needles casing with me, I only able to kill four goblins compared to the others. But when I go back to the corpses to collect my spoil of war. Something weird actually happened. The corpse is gone the moment I stand beside it, leaving only three item on the floor. I run a scan over, and pick the all the item from the four corpses, and check it in my status panel.

"Hmm... Not a bad haul actually..." I looked at the item I picked and its description.

I looked at the two Goblin Pouch in hand, as I was wondering... "Usable only by Goblins and Pedlar, that's means I am qualified to use it!" this is directly a free compartment pouch especially made for me!" I am delighted as I pick up all the items, and out of sudden, I am surprised by the leader of the guards.

"Young buddy, you help us a lot by helping us to take out four goblins. I hardly see somebody so heroic, come together with us, we will celebrate our successful defense against the Goblin Tribe once again!" the leader of the guards pulled me along as all of us went back to the town in victory, when the guards at the rear entrance side shared my heroic tales, everyone came over to me and praise me for being so daring and even assisting the guards when they are in need.

Everyone shared the news and gathered on the town square as if they were waiting for something. About two hours later, a group of riders, in the number around two hundred came into the town. When they were introduced, I finally know that these 200 riders are the elites among the Ling State's troops. Under the leadership of Team Leader Ling Tian Ming, one of the twenty-two sixth generation group within the Ling Household.

"I heard that there is a very heroic young man this time, where is him?" the Team Leader Ling Tian Ming quickly asked for my whereabouts and I am quickly presented in front of him. "Master Ling, greetings." I politely greet him. "Stop with all these formalities. We are all people, in the end, do not be bothered with the ranks and positions. The Riders had exterminates all the threats along the way, and we can confidently say that this time, the Goblin Tribe failed to even grab a single woman and grains back to their Settlements. We are victorious!" Ling Tian Ming shouted, as all the people within the square cheers along.

That night, a grand banquet is held to allow everyone to get relaxed, stop sobbing for their dead companions, and gathering new spirits to look forward to tomorrow, while for me, a new skill appears within my Status Panel as I sneakily take a look.
