Up to now, he still doesn't know how the Golden Finger determines things.
If the Golden Finger determines that the monster must be killed by him alone, then since the opponent was first hit by Nia's arrow, his plan to acquire the Mutated Goblin Bloodline would fail.
But if the Golden Finger determines that as long as the last strike before the monster's death was by him.
Then without a doubt, he can obviously obtain the bloodline of this rare Mutated Goblin before him, and thus likely acquire the spellcasting ability he covets so much.
As for saying that the goblin didn't mutate in bloodline but learned magic through its 'wit'?
This is absolutely impossible.
Even the original self, a farmer who has lived in the village for years, knows that learning Magic generally requires knowledge, chanting, and Hand Signs.
Goblins can't even speak Common Tongue, let alone more advanced spellcasting languages, so any spellcasting must rely on some kind of mutated bloodline.
The only concern is whether this goblin encountered some once-in-a-century stroke of luck and picked up some Magic Items that released spells.
But considering the archer Nia's exclamations just now, this is also unlikely.
Nia's murmurs were clearly heard by Raine, the words were 'Mutated Goblin'.
At this time, the sound of branches breaking came from behind Raine.
Jefferson, the Militia Captain, and the archer Nia were also rushing over.
As the Militia Captain, Jefferson was worried about any misfortune befalling Raine from the same village, while archer Nia was more curious about whether this young farmer Raine could possibly catch up with and kill the injured Mutated Goblin.
"Raine, you're too reckless. If you..."
Jefferson was saying something, but upon seeing the scene in front of him, the words of reproach and concern suddenly stopped.
"You really did take it down....."
Militia Captain Jefferson looked at the ground with a slightly dazed expression, muttering at the Mutated Goblin dressed in linen clothing, now filled with dense holes.
He hadn't expected Raine to actually catch up with and kill the Mutated Goblin that could release Magic.
To think that a single spell from the opponent could render that Adventurer void of combat ability.
Equally stunned was Nia.
Previously, she had suspected whether this farmer named Raine was exaggerating the number of goblins he killed, but now it was clear that it was indeed true.
Judging from the dense holes on the Mutated Goblin's body caused by fork stabbing, it's not hard to imagine the young farmer's fork strikes in the battle just now were surely swift, powerful, and highly frequent.
Even those Kingdom-trained spearmen would barely compare.
"Uncle Jefferson, this Mutated Goblin, after taking an arrow from the Adventurer lord, couldn't perform a second spell. Not too much stronger than other goblins."
Raine glanced at the archer Nia behind Jefferson and attributed the success to her previous arrow.
Because for Raine, he had already acquired what he wanted most.
Perhaps there were trophies on the Mutated Goblin, but he was not greedy.
Moreover, from a certain angle, he had already hit the jackpot. Even if there were indeed trophies, they should belong to the Adventurer Squad that took the goblin elimination task.
Upon hearing Raine's words, Nia also laughed.
She didn't expect that this young farmer was not only brave but also quite articulate.
She approached him, clicking her tongue in wonder: "Really brave, you're called Raine, right?... Maybe you shouldn't just be a farmer."
"Uh..... Thank you."
Meanwhile, on the main battlefield.
With the remaining three goblins completely routed, rescuing the two young girls from the cave followed naturally.
However, when Raine and the others returned to the scene, what met Raine's eyes were two girls curled up in their fathers' embraces.
Although the girls, Rose and Loli, were alive despite their tattered clothes, they were clearly significantly distressed, their eyes filled with helplessness, shivering like frightened rabbits in their fathers' arms.
Seeing this scene, Raine's heart felt heavy.
Fortunately, under the Low Light Vision, Raine could see that the linen trousers of the two girls were relatively intact.
It seems that shortly after being raided into the cave, they arrived almost immediately.
Very timely.
But this time, they were lucky; next time might not be so.
If they had arrived a day later, just thinking of the scene of a dozen goblins possessing 'High-speed Reproduction Lv2' surrounding the two weak human girls made Raine shiver.
If such a situation had occurred, even if rescued, more troublesome issues would arise—those little green rodents in the girl's stomach...
Raine shook his head, no longer thinking about it.
...
On the way back.
Walking ahead, the Adventurer Squad members were whispering about how unlucky they were to encounter a Mutated Goblin among a small group of goblins.
Following at the back of the team, Raine couldn't help feeling excited inside, so he started checking the system.
The four square spaces were now completely filled. Besides the first space containing the Goblin Warrior's icon, the other three showed the weak appearances of ordinary goblins.
"Hmm? Where is the Mutated Goblin I killed?"
Raine's heart couldn't help but skip a beat!
"Did it fail because the grid is full?"
"Or was it not counted because there was Nia's attack assistance?"
Suddenly, Raine's peripheral vision caught the sight of a package-like thing reminiscent of past games appearing on the bottom right corner of the panel.
As he focused on it, the package automatically opened, revealing four rows and four columns totaling sixteen spaces.
And the first two spaces were taken by the image of an ordinary goblin and the linen-clad Mutated Goblin.
"Great!"
Raine was ecstatic, and if there weren't people both in front of and behind him in the team right now, he would have been unable to resist waving his fist vigorously to celebrate!
He really obtained the Mutated Goblin Bloodline.
However, although he could check it now, he couldn't immediately infuse it.
Around him were unfamiliar adventurers, and if infusing caused some special physical change, like sudden spell Energy surges, attracting the attention of unfamiliar adventurers wouldn't be good....
So, after a moment of thought, Raine didn't immediately infuse the Mutated Goblin Bloodline.
Instead, he first tried moving the 'Goblin Warrior' icon into the sixteen-space package.
As the 'Goblin Warrior' icon was successfully relocated, Raine suddenly felt a sense of weakness, and his muscle returned to its earliest state, while his lower abdomen quickly began to form a small belly.
Even distant scenes became blurry.
This was because the Low Light Vision had also disappeared.
Raine glanced at the system panel:
[Name: Raine]
[Class: Farmer]
[Power: 5]
[Agility: 5]
[Constitution: 5]
[Intelligence: 7]
[Perception: 5]
[Charm: 5]
...
For a moment, Raine felt like Cinderella losing her glass slipper.
However, without indulging in the physical loss, Raine first moved the three identical ordinary goblin icons, but it still displayed 'Insufficient Quantity'.
So, Raine added one more, setting four identical ordinary goblin icons into the four spaces.
"Next, it's time to witness the guesswork."
Raine mused silently.
As Raine focused on these four unlit goblin icons.
The same system prompt appeared again:
[Unable to infuse four same-tier identical bloodlines, fuse? Yes/No]
"Yes!"
Without hesitation, Raine quickly chose 'Yes'.
