Although Goblone said that the death of his subordinates was not so important and also not worthy of my attention. But I can't take that for granted, especially that goblin is a subordinate of Arang's subordinate.

I have to replace it with something appropriate. But I don't know what to give in exchange.

‘What do the Goblins want?.’

My head tried to think hard, but not a single idea came from my brain. Is this because the worm brain is so small, I don't think that's the case.

‘I just don't know the creatures named goblins very well so don't know what they want.’

Unable to come up with any ideas, I was reminded of the gift I had just received from the wheel of fortune. A snowboard that looks so ordinary, I don't need it because this forest has no snow.

So I just give it as a gift of apology. Namu Arang looked doubtful, then he then asked about my decision.

{Are you sure you want to give this thing?}

Arang looked at me with a face that seemed to not believe if I would give the item to a goblin. Arang's gaze made me somewhat doubtful, but I've already decided.

“Yes, please give this to Goblone as my apology.”, I ask with confidence.

{Well, if that's what you want}

An uncomfortable feeling began to grow in my soul, as if I had just made a wrong choice that I would later regret.

‘Is it okay to give the skateboard as a gift of apology for killing a goblin?.’

‘Slide board that doesn't even have wheels, such a useless item isn't enough to replace someone's life. Do I have to add to the prize?.’

I kept watching me This very Charcoal was talking to Goblone about the skateboard I just gave him. Goblone stared at me so I could see his disappointed face.

That's a very normal reaction. Just imagine someone's life being replaced with a useless board. Goblone must have been very disappointed with the gift I gave him.

“Maybe I have to prepare another gift.”

When I was about to open a game shop to buy a gift, suddenly a noise rang out from the Goblins. That is because currently Charcoal is floating in the air by stepping on a skateboard that floats in the air.

“Oh.”

Feeling nothing interesting I went back to see the Game store to look for gifts. But I was instantly speechless as my head that was so slow in thinking finally managed to find an oddity.

‘Why Charcoal can use a skateboard That?.’ I thought.

The skateboard that I thought was useless because it looked so ordinary, now looks very cool because it can make Charcoal fly in the air.

How could he do that, did I miss something?. Damn if there was a guidebook on how to use the board I would not just hand it over.

Feelings of regret started haunting me.

Seeing how Charcoal tried to teach Goblone how to use a Hoverboard made me so envious.

I tried to look at the price of similar flying boards, but all I got was a sense of regret that was increasingly painful because the cheapest unit price of the item reached 25,000 gold.

What a price that drains the magic energy sac. I could have bought it by selling a variety of mine materials, but currently the plant refurbishment and research project Terminatrix robots are the main focus. So that all the resources I have are allocated to both projects.

This reminds me that while playing the game I made a mistake where I used items that were considered useless to improve an item with a cool look.

But behind me actually knowing if the useless items that I previously used just to level up other items are actually rare and very important items.

‘Already, rice has become porridge. It would be unethical if I asked for a gift that had been given to be returned.’

To avoid the same mistake I tried to learn on Charcoal, how could he activate the Hoverboard that previously looked like a regular surfboard. This was also an opportunity for me to become closer to the Goblin leader who was learning to control the Hoverboard.

It was a short training, Arang told me if the Hoverboard needed Magic energy as fuel. Without magic energy the awakening tool was just an ordinary board.

The knowledge I got from Arang got me back reminded if I was just a fool. There cannot be a device that can function properly without an energy source.

How could I not realize something so simple.

“Seriously I have to upgrade my brain skills.” I thought when I saw Goblone happily flying over the sky of the factory area.

Out of curiosity as to how it felt to fly, I asked Goblone to take me. Because our relationship was getting closer, or rather Goblone did not dare to refuse. He invited me who was wrapped around his neck to fly into the sky.

“Uwaa mountain scenery is so beautiful when you see it from above.”

“Gugg... ghhhk.

Because I was so excited I was so handsome that I subconsciously tightened my twists on his neck, making Goblone suffocate. Ah... It's dangerous, I have to control myself so as not to kill the goblin by accident.

Goblone with a view to control the Hoverboard, doing a 360-degree turn in reverse and various attractions that make me feel like I am riding a rollercoaster. It was a very pleasant experience.

Seeing how Goblone so looked at eliminating the Hoverboard with just a few minutes of training, made me feel like I could easily do the same. But I realized that it's not as easy as it looks.

When Charcoal tries to train other goblins, they are not as fast as Goblone when it comes to learning. Some goblins fell into severe injury, I who saw it was immediately aware how difficult it is to control the Hoverboard.

“Doesn't that mean Goblone is a goblin genius?.”.

“Maybe because he evolved into a Hob goblin so his intelligence is better than other Goblin.” Charcoal's answer is so rational.

It made me wonder, whether my Goblin army obtained from a Class off Clan game could also evolve into a Hob goblin.

“But honestly I was also so surprised to see him learn so fast, not like his seniors who are so slow.”

Charcoal's words instantly caused panic.

“Waaaahhh... Are you talking about me?. You're talking about me, aren't you!.”

“You think there's someone else I taught you something other than you two?.”

It was clear if the person called sluggish by this dedemit was me.

“I... This is because of my brain that you replaced with a stone, making my intelligence down 50%, no but down 99%. Right now I only use the ability 1% of the total brain ability that I have.”

Because I don't want to be underestimated, I'm forced to say such excessive nonsense. Obviously Arang won't believe everything that comes out of my mouth.

Or don't.

“Really this is all just one percent of the brainpower you have?.”

His face looked surprised, making it hard for me to know if he was pretending or indeed believing in the nonsense I said.
