The second simulation has ended

[In the third year, the strength of the entire Goblin camp grew significantly. Many goblins' levels exceeded level 5, and the fastest progress was made by Gobra, whose level reached 11 and became the second strongest in the Goblin camp. He was also extremely loyal to you. As the leader of the tribe, you enjoyed the best resources of the entire tribe and were the hardest-working goblin in the tribe. That year, your level increased to 17, your critical hit reached max level, and you successfully comprehended Critical Strike lv.1. In addition, due to strict daily training, you gained the Strength lv.1 skill.]

[Because of the Strength, your physique was much more robust than that of an average goblin, and your physical fitness far exceeded that of an average goblin. You became the handsome goblin among the tribe. Many goblins of the opposite sex began to pursue you aggressively, but your taste in beauty did not change, so you rejected their advances and insisted on not looking at yourself in the mirror.]

[In the fourth year, your level broke through twenty, the Critical Strike skill reached lv.2, and the Strength skill reached lv.6. You vaguely sensed that in order to evolve from the regular template to the elite template, it might have something to do with skills. By mastering more skills or leveling up certain skills to a specific degree, you might be able to evolve into an elite.]

[After realizing this, you began experimenting with various approaches. Previously, through continuous training, you acquired the Strength skill. You thought that maybe through a lot of combat experience, you could gain combat-related skills.]

[In the fifth year, you did not advance to the elite template, but through extensive training and real combat, your Strength reached lv.max, and Critical Strike leveled up to lv.4. You were pleased with your progress in strength. However, now you were troubled by something else.]

[As the Goblin tribe grew, the monsters in the valley were rapidly decreasing. Your tribe members reported this to you, and you realized that the Goblin tribe had become too strong, severely affecting the ecological balance of the valley. Therefore, you began to refine the roles within the tribe.]

[The tribe now had professions such as herding, farming, and fishing. Some goblins who didn't like combat could obtain food through these tasks, while those who liked combat became fighters. Your tribe became better and better.]

[In the sixth year, after many real battles, you acquired a special skill, Combat Instinct lv.1. The Strength skill did not evolve into a new skill, and Critical Strike reached lv.5. You could feel that you had touched the threshold of elite-level creatures, but there was always something missing. You sensed that this missing element was not something within you but an external force, though you didn't know what that external force was.]

[In the seventh year, your strength improved slightly, but the skill levels did not change. This year, you tried various methods. Initially, you thought the breakthrough might lie in the magic crystals, so you courageously consumed a large amount of magic crystals. The violent energy raged within your body, leaving you severely wounded.]

[Clearly, consuming the magic crystals did not lead to a breakthrough, so you planned to try other methods. During the period when your injuries had not healed, a small human adventurer team accidentally entered the valley. Without you lifting a finger, your tribe easily wiped out the adventurer team, and your tribe members informed you of this.]

[Upon learning of this, you began to worry about the future of the tribe. Although the valley was hidden, it was not entirely impossible to discover. The adventurers that came this time were just a regular team. What if a stronger adventurer team appeared in the future? What should be done then?]

[Faced with this situation, please make your choice.]

[Option 1: After healing your injuries, migrate out of the valley and lead the tribe to find a new habitat.]

[Option 2: This was just an accident; it's fine to continue as is.]

[Option 3: Set up tight sentry posts near the valley to monitor the situation at all times.]

Option 2 is definitely not acceptable. Doing nothing is not his style. As for Option 1, going out to find a new habitat might not necessarily lead to a better one than the current valley. Option 3 seems more reliable. Since the crisis has already been addressed, it makes sense to take corresponding measures, which also aligns with his character.

[System, select Option 3.]

[After discovering that humans have intruded into the valley, your sense of crisis becomes extremely strong. You immediately train a group of scouts, placing great importance on them—more than even combat troops. You personally teach them how to scout. Although you are not a professional, after six months, you have successfully trained a group of competent scouts.]

[In the eighth year, a human clad in full armor discovered the scouts hiding in the shadows. Following the clues, he found the valley. The man's strength isn't particularly impressive, but he seems very skilled at dealing with goblins. He single-handedly wiped out the entire tribe. You died.]

[Simulation ended. Overall score: 93.]

[As an ordinary goblin, you were a great tribe leader, worthy of being recorded in history. As a transmigrator, however, you are a relatively failed one, unable to defeat even a native human.]

[Please choose one reward from the following options.]

[Option 1: Level up by one, costs 10 points, repeatable.]

[Option 2: Critical hit level up by one, costs 4 points, repeatable.]

[Option 3: Gain the skill 'Strengthened LV.1,' costs 20 points.]

[Option 4: Gain the skill 'Battle Instinct LV.1,' costs 50 points.]

[Option 5: Gain the talent 'Azure Eyes,' costs 5 points.]

Seeing the increased cost for leveling up, Gobro wasn't particularly surprised. After all, his level has gone up, so the cost will naturally rise as well.

[System, select Options 3, 4, and 5. Use the remaining points to upgrade the critical hit level.]

[Gained skill 'Strengthened LV.1,' gained skill 'Battle Instinct LV.1,' gained talent 'Azure Eyes,' critical hit level upgraded to LV.9.]

Upon hearing a series of system notifications, Gobro visibly felt changes in his body. His previously weak limbs became more muscular, his large belly disappeared, and the entire goblin appeared much more balanced. At the same time, his eyes became clearer, and if someone only looked at his eyes, they would likely think that a handsome guy possessed them.

At the same time, he vaguely sensed something new in his mind. He suspected that this was the influence of the Battle Instinct.

The reason he didn't level up his character this time was because even if he did, he wouldn't have a way to break through to the elite level. Furthermore, he guessed that if his level increased, the crystal consumption for simulations would likely rise as well. After thinking about it, he directly asked.
