13. Loot

[Ding!]

[A Level 8 Forest Goblin has been killed within your territory!]

[Obtaining loot from the fallen creature… Success!]

The notification left me stunned for a moment.

(Wait—what?)

(So you’re telling me that if any creature dies within my territory, I can automatically loot it?)

(Hell yeah!)

As the system did its job, the corpse of the fallen goblin glitched out, dissolving rapidly into shimmering light particles that floated upward and away. Even its crude wooden club disintegrated along with it.

[Ding!]

[Obtained: 1 Goblin Corpse]

[Obtained: 1 Wooden Club]

[Obtained: 1 Tattered Cloth]

I immediately checked my inventory and confirmed their arrival with growing excitement. I wondered what I could actually do with the goblin corpse.

[Goblin Corpse]

Description: The corpse of a fallen goblin. Can be processed or sold to the System for a small amount of Points. If not processed within 24 hours, it will automatically be sold to the System.

(Hmm…)

This finally answered a lingering question I’d had since my reincarnation: one reliable way to earn more Points was simply by selling monster corpses to the System!

I knew the goblin corpse might have more valuable uses than just selling for Points, or could potentially sell for even more if I could somehow process it first. But since I currently lacked any means to butcher, skin, or refine it, selling it seemed like my only practical option for now.

“System!” I called out eagerly. “I want to sell the goblin corpse!”

[Calculating amount of Points… Completed.]

[You can sell the corpse for 24 Points. Would you like to proceed?]

(Hell yeah!)

I couldn’t believe it. A whopping 24 Points! Given that my Castle Core only generated 1 Point per day, this single sale felt like advancing nearly a full month forward in progress!

But before confirming, I hesitated. I couldn’t fully trust the System to offer a fair price right away. Of course such a scamming system would never give me the best deal on the first try! I decided to try haggling a bit just to test it.

But turns out, the pay was completely fixed. There was no room for negotiation. At least not for now.

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

“Alright then, sell it.”

My order was processed in a heartbeat.

[Ding!]

[Item Sold: Goblin Corpse]

[Obtained: 24 Points]

[Points Remaining: 24]

(Now, what about the cloth and the club? Can I sell those too?)

Turns out, I could.

The club was worth a measly 1 Point.

Given that the Wooden Club available in my Weapon Shop cost a whopping 10 Points, this seemed like such a rip-off at first glance. However, as I checked the detailed stats of the goblin’s club, I instantly saw why it was valued so low.

[Wooden Club]

• Type: Weapon (Normal)

• Rarity: Trash

• Description: Just a trash weapon.

• Effect: None

• Special Effect: None

It didn’t even increase any holder stats or grant any special skills! Thus, compared to the System’s version, it was indeed pure trash.

Knowing that, even 1 Point suddenly seemed pretty generous.

As for the tattered cloth, I needed 5 of them to sell for 1 Point.

Unlike the corpse, neither the club nor the cloth had an expiration date, so I decided to hold onto them for now. After all, I could sell them whenever I wanted or perhaps find another use for them later.
