Chapter 25: Pulling the Tiger's Skin
Goblins are indispensable in any multi-racial world, and interestingly, they are strikingly similar to Terrans, except that they cannot practice supernatural powers such as fighting spirit and magic, and their body is less daring. At least in the pursuit of money, research and business operations, goblins are similar to and stronger than the Terrans.
It's hard to say about the talent, but it may be because the goblins can't practice to supernatural powers! In order to protect themselves, they put all their energy on learning those supernatural powers, and it is precisely because of this reason that the goblins have made great progress in scientific research, basically as long as they talk about technology, they are indispensable.
The Goblin Empire has perished after the existence of many worlds, but at the moment this world has not perished, the Goblin Empire is still the most powerful scientific and technological power in the world at present, although it has not created a weapon that can destroy the world such as nuclear weapons, but if you only talk about thermal weapons, the current research of the goblins is not weaker than that of China at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Even in the research of robots, they are far stronger than all the countries on the earth.
And because of the particularity of the goblin empire, as the source of their power, the control of goblin weapons is very tightly managed. Without the nod of the goblins, it would not be easy for the creatures of other races to get some goblin weapons.
In this way, when Zhou Tian made the explosive bag, and most of the orcs at that time took it for a goblin bomb, then a misunderstanding naturally arose.
What is the reason why the goblin bomb would not be available to outsiders under normal circumstances, but now Zhou Tian is using this weapon?
Behind Sunday stood a goblin!
Of course, after those orcs misunderstood that the weapon in Zhou Tian's hand was a goblin bomb, they naturally had that idea. There is nothing strange about it, after all, both humans and orcs specialize in supernatural powers such as fighting spirit and magic, and they don't have the heart to study things like gunpowder. For this reason, they didn't think there was any other weapon other than the Goblin Bomb that could have the same effect as it did at the time. In this way, since it is determined that Zhou Tian was using a goblin bomb at that time, and Zhou Tian is a businessman, it is not surprising that he is a person who regards it as a goblin empire.
Goblins are the most famous merchant race, and what they are best at is business. And what Zhou Tian is doing now is very goblin style in the eyes of others, so it is normal for orcs to regard him as a member of the goblin camp at that time.
The only thing that those orcs couldn't figure out was that Zhou Tian was obviously a human race, but why did he become a member of the Goblin Empire?
But it doesn't matter if you can't figure it out, why Zhou Tian joined the goblin camp as a human is one thing, in short, according to Zhou Tian's previous performance, in the eyes of those orcs, he is basically a member of the goblin camp. And when those orcs had that kind of cognition in their minds, they didn't have much to worry about at that time.
The Goblin Empire is not as powerful as the Orc Empire, at least in terms of force. But no matter what, the comprehensive strength of the Goblin Empire will not be weaker than that of the Orc Empire, with such a strong backing existence, not to mention that only some of the small nobles of the Orc Empire are preparing to deal with Zhou Tian at the moment, I believe that even if the big nobles of the Orc Empire want to deal with them, Zhou Tian, who has the support of the Goblin Empire, will actually not have to be afraid.
Although they are orcs, the orc employees who are currently standing on the same position as Zhou Tian are relieved at that time after knowing that Zhou Tian has such a 'hole card' exists.
The race battle can't be said that those orcs don't care at the moment, but at least Zhou Tian didn't show any malice for now. In this way, since Zhou Tian just wanted to do his business honestly, and they were living a good life because of Zhou Tian, then for those orcs at that time, they would have hoped that Zhou Tian would be fine, and if possible, they could continue to do those businesses.
They are constantly suffering from the oppression of their own imperial nobles, and Zhou Tian is like a 'savior' to them, and they have no way to do it at the moment, they can definitely only give up their current life, but after knowing that Zhou Tian has the confidence to confront those orc nobles, not to mention that Zhou Tian can let these orcs betray his race, but at least let these orcs help him resist the invasion of those orc nobles in the next battle.
In this way, just from the situation at that time, a series of actions before Zhou Tian had already achieved their own goals. If nothing else, those orc nobles really want to deal with Zhou Tian next, then they must be mentally prepared to face the anger of these more than 10,000 ordinary orcs.
It's just that......
When Zhou Tian used his various means to make those orcs erase the fear of nobles in his heart, he originally wanted to lead those orc employees to fight with the orc nobles. But he didn't want to be here to prepare for war, but suddenly heard another news that surprised him.
"What, those guys aren't moving?"
When Lao Niu brought him the news that the nearby orc nobles were interested in dealing with him, Zhou Tian was already ready for an all-out war. Even how to evacuate if he was defeated by himself, Zhou Tian had already arranged more than one way at that time. But he didn't expect that he finally did the work of those orc employees under him, so that those orc employees at that time let go of the fear of those orc nobles in their hearts, and were about to start a war with the other party, but he suddenly learned that the orc nobles who were originally going to deal with him released the news that they were no longer targeting him.
Undoubtedly, in a way, Zhou Tian let those orc nobles play a trick, if you can't figure it out, it is estimated that it will not be clear why those orc nobles have the previous series of performances.
However, it is obvious that Zhou Tian is not stupid, even if he can't figure out those things at first, but after he calms down, it is impossible to guess the meaning behind the previous series of performances of those orc nobles.
"A group of souls who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard!"
The previous news was released just to force the forces behind him to show himself, although because of a misunderstanding, Zhou Tian pulled a 'tiger skin' to protect himself, at least in a short period of time, he no longer had to worry about the safety of his factory. But no matter what, being targeted by those orc nobles because of his lack of strength, such a thing happened enough to affect his mood.
What's more, one thing that made Zhou Tian more concerned was why those nobles reacted so quickly? Almost soon after Zhou Tian mobilized his orcs to prepare for war, those orc nobles seemed to get the relevant news, although Zhou Tian did not issue a gag order, but under normal circumstances, those news would not be possible for those orc nobles to hear so quickly!
Undoubtedly, the situation at that time can only show one thing, some of the orcs under Zhou Tian were those orc nobles, at least those orc nobles sent spies to work under Zhou Tian.
And although Zhou Tian knew that something like this could not be avoided at all, after knowing that there were spies under his hands that the enemy had penetrated, I believe that no matter who it was, it would be impossible for anyone to be in a good mood!
What made Zhou Tian even more uncomfortable was that he knew that his subordinates had a traitor at the moment, but now he had no way to deal with the other party, and even according to his situation, Zhou Tian couldn't even find out the identity of the other party at the moment.
After all, most of Zhou Tian's orcs now are acquaintances, and he is right to investigate the mole, but he needs to take into account the feelings of those orcs. If Zhou Tian did something to which orcs because of this, no matter who was right or wrong in this matter, as long as he knew that Zhou Tian had done something to their familiar companions, it would be good if those orcs didn't directly turn their faces with him, and then if he wanted those orcs to do things for him loyally, he didn't have to think about it.
Fortunately, most of the orcs are rectum, so Zhou Tian believes that the number of moles should not be much, although some news inside him will inevitably spread at the moment, but it should still not be enough to cause too much impact on his business.
And it was precisely because of that situation at that time that Zhou Tian already realized that it was not enough for him to have only a group of orcs under him. No matter how honest and honest the orcs are, they may be more loyal than the Terran employees in normal times, but in the event of a racial conflict, it is still difficult for Zhou Tian to guarantee that they can still help him wholeheartedly.
"We need to bring some other races into the gang. ”
When that kind of thought occurs in Zhou Tian's mind, it will be difficult for him to dispel that thought, if nothing else, unless there is no such opportunity in the future. Otherwise, if it is possible to pull other races into their factories to work, then I believe that Zhou Tian will never miss it.
But no matter what, it doesn't matter what Zhou Tian is thinking or planning in his heart, and now because of a misunderstanding, Zhou Tian has temporarily relieved his crisis. Before those orc nobles figured out what Zhou Tian's relationship with the Goblin Empire was, they shouldn't have done anything to him easily.
Although some small actions Zhou Tian knew that those orc nobles would not stop, as long as they did not take direct action, then the impact on Zhou Tian would not be too great.
And Zhou Tian didn't think that relying on that 'tiger skin' has always made those orc nobles with bad intentions dare not touch him, according to Zhou Tian's thoughts, as long as those orc nobles dare not touch him in a short period of time, it will be good to drag it out for a while, and then those orc nobles will not be so easy to move him again.
First of all, Zhou Tian is constantly expanding his authority in the Wanjie Supermarket in the process of doing business, and with enough money in his hands, Zhou Tian believes that the future Wanjie Supermarket will bring him more than just the materials that can be purchased at the moment, and with the help of the Wanjie Supermarket, Zhou Tian may not be able to fight with those orc nobles head-on in the future.
Secondly, Zhou Tian still remembers, as early as soon after starting the system, he heard part of the explanation of the system, and Zhou Tian was most impressed by the fact that every year he used the system to pay a 'franchise fee', and after paying such a large sum of money, he could get a certain reward, although he didn't know what he would get, but Zhou Tian only had to think about the particularity of Wanjie Supermarket, he didn't believe that the reward delegated by the supermarket would be simple.
Zhou Tian even thought that maybe the reward given to him by the supermarket would be very beneficial at that time, and maybe as long as he got that reward, he would no longer have to fear those orc nobles.
And if Zhou Tian is not mistaken, a year has almost passed.
Although it has developed rapidly, Zhou Tian has unconsciously stayed in the current world for nearly a year, and as long as he spends the rest of the time safely, Zhou Tian will be able to see what the reward will be referred to by the system.
