Chapter 20. Irish Town (2) Maria’s Little Black House

     Instantly, Ye Mo appeared in a small dark room.

     The survivors she had just seen in the space were gone. She was the only one left in the room, carrying a backpack and holding a fire axe.

     There was no light in this room.

     Ye Mo had a night vision that was as bright as day, so it was no problem for her to see the surrounding environment clearly.

     The room was really small, about eight square meters in size and no more than two meters in height.

     There were smooth walls all around, with a stone door on the left. The room contained a pair of tables and chairs, a small wooden bed, two small wooden cabinets, and a small basket between the two wooden cabinets.

     On the small wooden table was a water cup and an iron timer that looked like an ancient hourglass. The time in the Celtic continent was the same as that on Earth, both were 24 hours per day.

     On the small wooden bed was a set of bedding, a small mat woven with green vines, a small quilt, and a small pillow. They were soft and comfortable to the touch, warm, and at least much better than the coarse cotton clothes on her body.

     Next to the wooden bed were two wooden cabinets, one of which contained five or six sets of clothes, made mainly of linen or burlap.

     The only food was in the other cabinet, green and red fruits, each one one-third the size of a red Fuji apple, plus a monster skin kettle filled with clean warm water.

     The small basket in the middle was the most expensive belongings, a fist-sized iron ore, unknown metal raw materials, a gray empty purse, large and small hammers, iron bars, nails, shovels, etc.

     In short, everything was small, like the dwarfs’ house in the forest in the Snow White fairy tale, except that the dwarfs’ house was in the forest, while her house was an underground black hole.

     Oh, by the way, she was a ‘dwarf’ now.

     Ye Mo had an extra memory in her mind.

     This world was called Celtic Continent.

     The Celtic continent is about the same size as the Earth, but forest resources account for more than 50%, the remaining 40% is water, and only 10% is distributed with intelligent creatures. There are very few ordinary animals in the forest. Except for some microorganisms and insects, the rest are all monsters.

     This is also a continent where many intelligent creatures coexist.

     Mainly humans, elves, dwarves, mermaids, etc., as well as the legendary dragons that have existed for a long time.

     Humans are the largest in number.

     Elves, dwarves, mermaids and other races are born with the talent of racial inheritance, and only a small number of humans can grow into real magicians or swordsmen.

     Just like there is no real friendship between countries, there have been countless conflicts and frictions between various intelligent races, but the reason why the races have not disappeared so far is that they have a common enemy-

     Magic Beast.

     The external enemy of Magic Beast has taught intelligent creatures to cooperate with each other and has also affected the lifestyle of the Celtic continent.

     Among them, the dwarves are also called Goblin. Goblin is a race that is good at mining, forging weapons, making equipment and other craftsmanship. They don’t like to live on the ground and usually live in groups underground.

     Ye Mo is a goblin who lives underground in a small town in Ireland. Her name is Maria. Her most memories from childhood to adulthood are digging holes, mining, and hammering iron with her tribesmen.

     When Maria was a child, her parents unfortunately died at the claws of monsters. She went to her uncle in a small town in Ireland. She just turned adult and lived alone without having to consider family issues.

     Humans always think that goblins are all a group of people who live together in the dark underground city.

     In fact, it is not comprehensive. The underground world of goblins also has order and rules like intelligent creatures, and each goblin also has their own space.

     For example, after a goblin grows up to 18 years old, they will not really live with their parents. This means that they are truly independent and can support themself with their own skills.

     No wonder she is so poor. 

     Ye Mo: “Check your personal status.”

—————————

     Some modern things in the backpack are gone, and only system products can be brought into the dungeon.

     The main task is to survive for 100 days and kill 100 level 1 monsters. Ye Mo has no problem staying underground for 100 days, and Maria has survived here until she was 18 years old.

     The most difficult task is to kill 100 monsters.

     Maria was well protected by her tribe before, and she didn’t know much about monsters. She only knew that monsters were very scary. If she met even a level 1 monster, she must dig a hole and hide as soon as possible.

     The strength and speed of goblins are not low in themselves, but they choose to run away when they meet monsters. It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of monsters is not weak, and they are definitely stronger than zombies.

     According to Maria’s memory, those who kill monsters are basically human mercenaries in teams.

     Ye Mo’s assignment to the goblin tribe has advantages and disadvantages. One of the disadvantages is that the communication with ordinary humans has the characteristics of racial segregation.

     The task is put on hold for the time being.

     The first dilemma in front of us cannot be ignored – basic survival.

     “…”

     Ye Mo was so poor that she didn’t even have a copper coin in her pocket. She could only eat the cheapest chestnut fruit in the world every day. She couldn’t spend time looking for other goblins to borrow fruits and not return them, right?

     Chestnut fruit is the red and green fruit in the cabinet. All intelligent creatures can eat it, but only goblins eat it for dinner. In the town, 1 silver coin can buy 100 pieces.

     Silver coins are one of the basic currencies in this world. Below are change copper coins, and above are gold coins and crystal coins.

     1 crystal coin is equal to 100 gold coins, 1 gold coin is equal to 100 silver coins, and 1 silver coin is equal to 100 copper coins.

     Gurgle–

     Just when I thought of food, my stomach rumbled.

     Ye Mo picked up a red fruit and took a bite. The taste of the fruit was very light. The difference from bread was that it was drier than them. Only after chewing more could you taste a little sweetness.

     At the age of growing up, I ate seven or eight in a row and my stomach was almost full.

     There are still 3 coins left in the cabinet. If Ye Mo doesn’t work hard to earn coins, she may become the first survivor of the dungeon to starve to death.

     “…”

     It is a bit different from the last zombie dungeon world. No matter what, it is important to explore the living environment first.

     Ye Mo put some of the tools in the basket into the backpack.

     She took a long fire axe and prepared to go out. The system has a reasonable explanation for fire axe and other weapons-a kind gift from a junior craftsman of the goblin.

…

     The stone door of the small room is very heavy.

     It can be inferred that the average strength attribute of the goblins is estimated to be more than 15, and the master goblin craftsmen must be higher.

     The stone door opened.

     There are three passages outside the door. The left one leads to the sanitary area, the right one leads to the small room of the neighbor goblin, and the middle road makes a turn of more than 18 times to the place where the goblin works.

     Ye Mo walked to the middle passage. After walking two steps, a goblin about one meter tall like her ran out from the right, with green hair, green eyes, green skin, wrinkled face, and thin limbs, which might be convenient for fast passage underground.

     From the human perspective, it is indeed very strange and ugly, but this goblin is one of the most beautiful girls in this generation of goblins, and many young goblin “handsome guys” pursue her.

     This is the difference in aesthetic standards.

     In the eyes of the goblins: “Oh, Lina’s eyes are big and beautiful emeralds! Oh, Lina has more wrinkles on her face than lush tree roots! Oh, Lina’s limbs are the most symmetrical! Oh, her nose is still sexy and pointed!”

     By the same token, Maria is also very “beautiful” and many goblin boys pursue her.

     Ye Mo: “…”

     That’s not necessary.
