Chapter 51
Li Yuangang's Wish Comes True
"Alright, you'll have five more minutes to rest. Meet at the entrance of the connecting room in five minutes."
After saying this, Sun Zhengwu walked out of the lounge.
After a brief silence, the room fell silent.
"Whoosh!"
The entire lounge erupted in chaos!
"Holy crap! That's great!" Zhao Gang cheered, his deep voice booming, "I finally don't have to suffer with that small frame anymore!"
Li Yuangang, standing nearby, reacted even more dramatically. He jumped three feet high, his face flushed with excitement, and let out a low roar: "Awesome! Hahaha, Big Goblin, this is the kind of physique I, Li Yuangang, should have! I'll take on a hundred of them one by one!"
The two were so excited they almost danced for joy, and the surrounding teammates also gathered around to congratulate them, creating a festive atmosphere.
Lei Hu punched Li Yuangang's arm, his tone filled with genuine envy: "Wow, you two have really gone from a bicycle to a Gundam now! From now on, we'll be counting on you two to overcome any difficulties!"
"Haha, yeah, but Tiger, I feel it won't be long before you get the body of a goblin too." Li Yuangang slightly toned down his smugness.
"I'm not in a hurry. My current mission is mainly reconnaissance and infiltration, so my original body is more convenient," Lei Hu said with a smile. Although he also wanted a stronger body in the other world, his current mission was indeed not suitable for the size of the goblin.
"Indeed, the original body is still more suitable for traversing and lurking in the jungle!" He Rui replied from the side, which was also a kind of self-comfort. To be honest, they all envied Li Yuangang and Zhao Gang.
Wang Xun and Sun Xiaochuan nodded in agreement. As scouts and long-range shooters, goblins have obvious advantages in terms of small size, agility, and ease of concealment.
"Tiger Team, when you officially attack the goblin's lair, I'll clear the way for you," Li Yuangang said.
"Alright, we'll really need a human tank like you to charge into battle then!" Lei Hu patted Li Yuangang on the shoulder.
"I was thinking, since that's the case, will Comrade Matthew have another chance to summon other combat units in the future? I really hope he can summon combat units that are better at ranged attacks, like elves or half-elves in games."
"If that's the case, then I'm not human anymore! Give me a giant dragon unit, and I'll control the airspace of this other world, hahaha!"
"Then I want to be a dragon knight!"
"Get out of here and play somewhere else!"
"Hahaha……"
Everyone laughed, but Sun Xiaochuan's words did indeed stir a sense of anticipation in their hearts. If it could really be like that, it would be a truly unique experience.
……
Jinshi Ridge, an open space in front of the lord's mansion.
As the light from the magic circle slowly faded, the figures of a new batch of "summoned creatures" solidified.
Unlike usual, three figures stood out in this group—they were much taller than the surrounding goblins, with bulging muscles and dark green skin. Standing there, they resembled small iron towers, exuding a powerful sense of oppression.
Zhao Gang, Li Yuangang, and Tang Yuanshan were exactly the match for the Big Goblin form.
Almost the instant his consciousness fully returned, Li Yuangang abruptly opened his eyes.
Unlike the initial discomfort of adapting to the goblin's body, this time, an unprecedented and surging sense of power instantly filled their limbs and bones.
"Drink..." Li Yuangang subconsciously clenched his fist, his knuckles making a crisp "crack" sound, and a sense of confidence that he could crush rocks welled up within him.
He looked down at his large, fan-like hands and arms as thick as an ordinary goblin's thigh, feeling the explosive power contained beneath his muscles, his chest heaving violently with excitement.
He tried stomping his foot lightly, and a dull "thump" came from the ground.
He swung his arm again, creating a clear whooshing sound.
"This...this sense of power is really impressive!" Li Yuangang couldn't help but exclaim.
Zhao Gang, standing next to him, was also beaming with joy, constantly moving his wrists and shoulders, feeling the world of difference between this new body and the previous "bean sprout" goblin body.
"How are you feeling?" Sun Zhengwu asked the two of them.
Lei Hu, He Rui, Wang Xun, and others behind him also curiously gathered around, looking at the two "giants" and even reaching out to pat their rock-like muscles.
"Haha, this feels amazing, team leader!" Li Yuangang exclaimed excitedly. "I feel like I could kill a bull with one punch!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but throw a series of punches, his movements swift and powerful.
Zhao Gang nodded vigorously, his voice like muffled thunder: "Full of energy! With that build, moving stones and swinging a sledgehammer would be a piece of cake!"
"Alright, everyone, begin your respective tasks," Sun Zhengwu ordered.
"Yes!" the soldiers replied at attention, then lined up and ran away from the lord's mansion.
Sun Zhengwu, Zhao Lanxin, Li Jianguo and other leaders from various ethnic groups also came to report to Matthew. After a brief exchange, they went about their respective tasks.
Zhao Gang went directly to the limestone quarry. The large rocks that originally required the combined efforts of many people to move, he could now push by himself.
He could carry four or five baskets of ore at a time, doubling his efficiency and leaving the miners and soldiers in awe.
Li Yuangang also went to help move the logs. He went straight to a thick and long log, bent down, hugged the middle of the log with both arms, and exerted force with his waist and abdomen.
"rise--"
To everyone's astonishment, he actually lifted the heavy log off the ground and then easily hoisted it onto his broad shoulders.
"Haha, that's great!" Li Yuangang carried the log, as excited as a child who had received a favorite toy.
On a whim, he used the log on his shoulder as a "weapon" and began to wield it with great force.
Although it wasn't a formal martial arts routine, each swing was powerful and heavy, full of a primal and violent beauty.
The heavy log in his hands seemed to transform into a giant club, whistling through the air and stirring up dust with astonishing force.
"Oh My God……"
"That's incredibly strong!"
Some of the villagers who were working nearby, especially young people like Karl and Bob, were stunned by the scene. They stared wide-eyed, their hearts pounding with fear, afraid that the goblin might accidentally send a log flying out and hitting someone.
But amidst the fear, his eyes were also filled with an irrepressible envy and awe.
"The goblin warriors summoned by the lord... they're amazing!" Karl murmured, subconsciously comparing them to his own rather slender arms.
Sun Zhengwu, Lei Hu, and the others who were passing by exchanged smiles, finding Li Yuangang's behavior amusing and deeply appreciating the terrifying combat power that the Big Goblin form could unleash.
After finishing a set of "Log Madman Stick" moves, Li Yuangang, without blushing or panting, moved the log to the designated location and planted it in the pre-dug foundation with a "boom," quickly burying the arrow tower pillar.
He clapped his hands triumphantly, put his hands on his hips, looked around, and saw the shocked and admiring gazes of the crowd, especially the young leaders. He was overjoyed, his mouth practically stretched to his ears.
But he quickly realized that his actions might have been a bit too "showy" and childish, and unbecoming of a soldier's composed image.
He quickly composed himself, coughed lightly, and continued moving the logs.
