That's what she thought, since she was tremendously disappointed and disgusted by what she saw in those creatures.
Rafaela used magic to make herself invisible and erase her presence; she didn't use much power, but even so, to mortal eyes, she practically didn't exist.
Upon closer inspection, she could see what they were.
There were two warrior goblins, and a high goblin.
The high goblin, who seemed to be the leader, growled at the corpses of the goblins Rafaela had killed.
She wasn't interested in seeing the levels of the goblins or the two warriors.
And this is what appeared before her eyes:

Mmm, this is interesting. Apparently I can see their stats and more.
Well, from what she understood, in this cliché situation, if there's a high goblin, there's probably a nest… and maybe even a goblin king.
As Goblin Slayer says, the only good goblin is a dead goblin.
With her course of action decided, she removed her camouflage and stood in front of the goblins, who seemed very puzzled. They didn't know where this woman came from.
But Rafaela noticed something rising between the legs of the tall goblin.
—Phone and wallet, papi, or I'll shoot you, she said in a Venezuelan street slang tone, but her voice was velvety, making the phrase feel like it was from an adult film.
The goblins, without thinking, rushed at her, foaming at the mouth with excitement.
Rafaela drew her weapons and shot the two warrior goblins in the head, while the high goblin was not so lucky.
She shot him right in the groin, with a low-power shot, clearly just to make him suffer.
She put her foot on his head and said:
—Do you regret how inappropriate you were with me?
Of course, she did this to see if the creature had a brain, but the goblin's reaction was more excitement, which disgusted her.
She ended up blowing its head off with the silver revolver.
BANG!!
The sound echoed throughout the forest.
After that execution, she looted the bodies.
Overall, she got a good amount from the goblins, but she decided to look for the nest, wanting as much money as possible to get decent lodging if she left the forest.
Using the guidance of the spirits, she avoided omniscience.
It would make the hunt boring, and she wanted it exciting and rewarding.
After walking a little further, she arrived at a cave.
She used divine knowledge to calculate the number of goblins and the total coins.
And the result was…
Rafaela raised an eyebrow.
—Aha… this stuff smells like cheap cologne and human remains.
Definitely… goblins.
An information panel appeared before her like a celestial hologram.
Divine Dungeon Analysis — "Goblin Cave No. 12-A"
Population detected in the cave:
Normal Goblins: 43
Warrior Goblins: 12
Goblin Archers: 5
Goblin Shaman: 1
High Goblin (Leader): 1
TOTAL: 62 goblins
Rafaela crossed her arms.
—Damn… there are so many of them.
Then the important part appeared.
Calculation of Potential Wealth
Divine wisdom summarized:
Common Goblin → 1 low-quality crystal
Goblin Warrior / Archer → 1 medium-quality crystal
High Goblin → 1 medium-high quality crystal
Goblin Shaman → 1 magic crystal (highest value)
Estimated total:
43 common crystals
47 medium-quality crystals
1 special magic crystal (from the shaman)
Rafaela smiled.
—Crystals galore.
This is a gold mine.
The price list appeared in the air.
Standard prices in a small trade
Low quality: 6 silver(Unit Price) - 43,258 silver(Total Quantity)
Medium quality: 12 silver(Unit Price) - 17,204 silver(Total Quantity)
Magic crystal: 1 gold (100 silver)(Unit Price) - 1,100 silver (Total Quantity)
FINAL TOTAL: 562 SILVER COINS
Rafaela's eyes opened wide.
—WHAT?!
Almost half a thousand silver just from goblins?
What a profitable venture!
The guide confirmed:
—Correction: It's 562 silver coins.
Enough to stay in rural areas for several months without attracting attention.
Rafaela sighed with relief.
—Excellent.
I don't want to arrive in a town and have them say, "Where did you get so much money, elf princess?"
With this, I can pass as a novice adventurer and that's it.
She looked at the cave again.
The goblins shrieked inside, oblivious to their fate.
Rafaela twirled her silver revolver with an elegant movement.
—Well… time to clean up.
This is going to fund my first pupusas, my first posadas, and my first shopping trips.
She stretched her shoulders.
—And also… it's time to test if my weapons are effective in prolonged combat.
The silvery gleam in her eyes intensified.
She gave a smile that, although beautiful, was very sadistic.
The goblins had no idea what was coming.
