Game Master: Infinite Amplification of Everything - Chapter 3 - Goblin King

Chen Fei accepted the quest and immediately headed east of the village.

In this novice village, the surroundings were encased by dense forests. These forests were teeming with countless monsters.

For beginners, the first small goal was to strengthen their abilities and eventually escape the confines of this forest. Goblins, being the weakest monsters in the area, were the ideal starting point.

Along the way, there were many players scattered about. They weren’t particularly engaged in quests but seemed to be enjoying the scenery.

In gaming circles, these players were often referred to as lifestyle players or “scenery enthusiasts.”

Of course, there were also a few guild specialists meticulously charting routes and sketching maps to ensure efficient navigation for future quests.

Watching them, Chen Fei quickened his pace.

…

Moments later, Chen Fei arrived at a desolate area.

The place had an eerie, barren vibe. Dilapidated houses dotted the landscape, and the ground bore visible black stains-likely dried blood that had darkened over time.

Without hesitation, Chen Fei equipped his novice gear.

[Uncommon soft hedgehog armor equipped.]

[Uncommon dagger equipped.]

He cautiously advanced toward the forest ahead.

Rustle, rustle-

From the bushes ahead, pairs of glowing red eyes suddenly emerged.

Chen Fei narrowed his eyes, his body tensed, and his hand gripped the dagger emitting a faint green aura, as if it were itching for action.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh-

Spears shot out from the bushes, hurtling toward him!

They struck him directly.

Chen Fei instinctively stepped back to assess his health.

The three spears had inflicted a total of 15 points of damage on him.

…

This was the assassin’s basic skill.

In an instant, Chen Fei’s figure vanished from where he had been standing.

Three green goblins emerged cautiously from the bushes. They glanced at each other, their faces filled with confusion.

Where did that guy go?

Just as they were puzzling over the situation, Chen Fei had already crept up behind them like a phantom. Silent and deadly, he raised his uncommon dagger and struck at their necks with precision.

Slash!

The dagger cut through their defenses effortlessly, as if slicing through paper.

-55

The three goblins didn’t even have time to react before they collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

After all, goblins in the early stages of the game were notoriously weak. Before reaching Level 5, their health points were capped at a mere 50.

Under normal circumstances, Chen Fei would have had to engage in a fierce battle to take down three goblins at once. But luck wasn’t on their side today. Chen Fei, equipped with green equipment, made quick work of them with ease.

[You have slain a goblin and gained 10 experience points. Triggered tenfold amplification, gaining an experience reward of 100 points!]

As soon as the game system notification appeared, a golden aura enveloped Chen Fei’s body-a clear sign of leveling up.

[You have leveled up to Level 2!]

[Experience required for upgrading: 50/100]

But it wasn’t over yet. Another system notification rang in his ears.

[You have slain a goblin. Dropped common white equipment: “cloth shoes.” Triggered tenfold amplification, gaining uncommon green equipment: “speed boots”!]

…

[Equipment Name]: Speed Boots

Grade: Uncommon Green Equipment

Value: Speed +30

Magical Effect: None

Drop Status: Droppable

Sell: The recycling value is 10 equipment upgrade sands.

…

Chen Fei opened his inventory and saw the speed boots. Without hesitation, he equipped them.

The moment he put them on, an intense green glow radiated from his feet.

“Ugh, I need to find something to conceal this flashy equipment soon,” he muttered to himself. “Walking around decked out in glowing green gear? Who could stand that?”

Shaking his head, Chen Fei waited in place for a while, but no more goblins appeared. Without wasting any time, he moved forward.

About 2 kilometers ahead lay a small hill. Atop that hill was the goblin tribe.

If they weren’t coming to him, then he would take the fight to them.

After all, in his previous life, he had frequently watched strategy videos about novice village accounts. One such video featured a guild that discovered the goblin tribe and rallied over a thousand players to annihilate the entire goblin settlement.

That battle became legendary, not just for the sheer scale of the slaughter but also because it culminated in the defeat of a boss.

Although it wasn’t the first boss kill in the game, the event still earned global recognition.

As for the first-ever boss kill? That was scheduled for tomorrow. In his past life, it had taken place in the afternoon, when five guilds formed an alliance in the 8848 novice village to wipe out a sneaky snake tribe, achieving the coveted first boss kill.

…

Chen Fei suddenly froze for a moment.

A thought surfaced in his mind.

Why not go after the goblin boss?

This dungeon was ridiculously simple!

After all, it was an early-stage dungeon, and the boss was only Level 5!

With his current green equipment, he definitely stood a chance of taking it down!

And once he did, it would trigger a global announcement, earning him system rewards and even a special title…

The idea lit a fire in his heart.

Without hesitation, Chen Fei started moving forward.

Today, he was going big.

He was going to take down the boss!

…

Half an hour later, Chen Fei had reached the outskirts of the area.

He was now close to the goblin dungeon.

Just a few more steps, and he’d enter combat territory.

Narrowing his eyes, he moved forward cautiously, every step deliberate and silent.

He crept closer, inch by inch.

Up ahead, over fifty goblins were gathered in a circle.

In the center, a massive bonfire roared, casting flickering shadows across the group.

Tied to a stake above the flames was a person.

A woman.

From this distance, Chen Fei couldn’t make out her features.

But it didn’t matter.

There was no way he could save her.

Just because he could take down the boss didn’t mean he could single-handedly fight off hundreds of goblins!

If even one goblin could chip away at his health points, what would hundreds of them do?

With only 100 health points to his name, he’d be dead in seconds.

Chen Fei shook his head, dismissing the thought of rescuing the woman.

Instead, his focus shifted to a cave a few meters away from the bonfire.

That was where the goblin boss resided.

But now came the real challenge.

How was he supposed to get in?

Should he activate his Invisibility skill?

But it only lasted thirty seconds!

Even if he managed to slip into the cave within that time, what then?

The boss would inevitably notice him, and the commotion would draw the entire goblin horde.

And that would be the end of him.
