Global Lords: Starting with Female Hero Fusion

The Refining Workbench wouldn’t arrive until the afternoon.

After leaving the carriage, Zhao Chi returned to his territory.

The territory was a hive of activity.

The faint smell of gunpowder drifted through the air.

It was all coming from the Smelting Workshop.

The female smiths were busy smelting down the Black Armor.

’My previous estimate was too optimistic. It’ll probably take several days to smelt it all...’

The female Tailors were also very busy now.

Although he had obtained a massive amount of spoils from the battle with Zhao Ji last night, the items he’d lost also needed to be replaced.

There were only just over 80 sets of Leather Armor left. Nearly 150 sets had been destroyed in the war and needed to be crafted as soon as possible.

They still had enough Iron Spears, Iron Sabers, and Iron Shields for now.

However, reserves were running low, so he needed to have more made.

He had made over 100 extra sets of Silk Stockings and Shirts before, so they still had plenty to wear.

Zhao Chi didn’t need to have any made for the time being.

The other workers were also busy with their respective tasks.

The three Female Heroes were in the training grounds, practicing their teamwork.

Zhao Chi didn’t disturb them, heading into the Carefree Spring himself.

A dozen or so women were inside, soaking in the water.

They all giggled and greeted him upon seeing him.

Zhao Chi greeted them in return.

Zhao Chi used to find bathing a bit of a hassle.

But now, he had grown to like it.

It was hard to say whether it was because the spring increased his Mood, or simply because soaking in it was so comfortable.

Regardless, it had become his usual spot for relaxation.

It was the same for the women.

Although the spring’s Effect lasted for six hours, they loved to strip down and hop in for a soak whenever they were on break.

Zhao Chi lay back in the water.

He opened the system.

He had bought a lot of items this time, all of which could be used immediately.

First, he took out the three Racial Improvement Books and four Technology Improvement Books.

’I’m out of Racial Improvement Points, so I won’t have any for the next genetic Improvement.’

’I had to buy them when I had the chance.’

Technology Improvement Books granted Technology Points.

He had 14 Technology Points right now, but the more, the better.

’Since I could get four, I bought them.’

’It’ll save me the regret of failing later just because I’m short a point or two.’

Seven flashes of light shone.

He obtained 7 Racial Improvement Points and 8 Technology Improvement Points.

’That feels like so little.’

’These were expensive. Each point cost me almost 3 Gold Coins.’

Next were the two new Blueprints.

The Phoenix Cry Saber Blueprint and the High Heels Blueprint.

Neither of these Blueprints came with an Improvement Book, so he could only learn them for now. They weren’t particularly useful yet.

At least, Zhao Chi felt they weren’t very useful without an Improvement Book.

He inspected the Phoenix Cry Saber Blueprint.

[Name] Phoenix Cry Saber

[Type] Pattern

[Effective] Female Only

[Effect] Attack Speed +5%, Accuracy +5%

[Explanation] The blade’s design has been specially modified to suit female users, providing an additional Attack Speed and Accuracy bonus on top of the base weapon’s attributes.

The Phoenix Cry Saber wasn’t a specific blade.

It was a pattern for a saber.

You could use iron to make an Iron Phoenix Cry Saber, or use steel to make a Steel Phoenix Cry Saber.

It could add extra Attributes on top of a basic Iron Saber.

This saber also had another special characteristic: a condition for its effect.

Restricted to female use.

This narrowed its scope of application.

Its universality was reduced.

Therefore, it could have more powerful Effects.

In contrast, the effects of more universal patterns would be weaker.

Besides this, there were other types of restrictions.

For example, items could be restricted to Beastman use only, to seniors over 60 years old, or to those with Life below 50 points, and so on.

The stricter the restriction, the higher the Effect Bonus, of course.

Restricting it to female use wasn’t considered a particularly strict condition.

He selected "Learn."

[Congratulations, your territory has mastered the "Phoenix Cry Saber" crafting technique.]

Next was the High Heels Blueprint.

This was a cosmetic item.

Zhao Chi already knew how to make ordinary High Heels.

Like Cloth Clothing, it was an item that could be crafted without unlocking a specific Technology.

But the cosmetic version of High Heels required a Blueprint to learn.

He selected "Learn."

[Congratulations, your territory has mastered the "High Heels Cosmetic" crafting technique.]

Since he didn’t have an improved blueprint for them yet, Zhao Chi didn’t plan on crafting any.

After all, the Bonus wasn’t very high.

It would also take time and consume Energy.

If he got an improved version later, these ordinary ones would become useless.

’Making them now would just be a waste.’

[Name] High Heels

[Quality] Standard

[Durability] 100

[Color] Varies by Material

[Effective] Female Only

[Attributes] Terrain Adaptability +10%

[Explanation] The cosmetic version of High Heels. Increases Terrain Adaptability, providing some adaptability on various Terrains.

’It’s actually not bad.’

’But it doesn’t improve Combat Power or productivity at all.’

’I really should wait for an improved version.’

’I’ll set it aside for now.’

He closed the information window.

Next up was the Medicine Treasure Chest.

’An old friend.’

’I hope my luck is better this time.’

Begin conversion!

First attempt: Failure!

Second attempt: Failure!

Third attempt: Success!

’Dammit.’

’After all, this kind of Treasure Chest choice belongs to neither Racial Improvement nor Technology Improvement.’

’The Improvement Points I have now can’t change the probability.’

’But at least I succeeded once. I made my investment back and even turned a small profit.’

’It definitely wasn’t a loss, that’s for sure.’

Since he’d failed, he had no choice but to select the items himself.

[You Have Obtained the Following Items]

[High Level Life Pill] x100

[High Level Energy Pill] x100

[High Level Spiritual Power Pill] x100

[Basic Life Pill] x200

[Basic Stamina Pill] x200

[Basic Energy Pill] x100

[Basic Spiritual Power Pill] x100

Previously, Zhao Chi had considered exchanging everything for Spiritual Power Pills.

After all, Spiritual Power could be converted to restore any physical state.

But the only drawback was that it took time.

In peacetime, that wouldn’t be a problem.

But in the middle of a battle, if you were struck by an enemy’s blade and your Life was in peril, you had to consume a Life Pill immediately.

If you took a Spiritual Power Pill and then had to wait for it to convert...

...that would be far too slow.

The enemy would cut you down with another strike.

Even without an enemy, you could still bleed to death.

All things considered, Zhao Chi still chose a good number of Life Potions to stock up for his Female Soldiers, just in case.

Next up were the seven [Self-Selected Material Treasure Chests].

Zhao Chi had never used one of these before.

He opened one right away.

A flash of light appeared.

A prompt appeared before his eyes:

[Please choose any 3 of the following. You may choose the same option multiple times.]

[Cloth] x100

[Wood] x100

[Stone] x100

[Iron] x100

[Leather] x100

[Cotton] x100

[Silk] x25

[Refined Iron] x25

[Bone Powder] x25

[Blackwater] x25

[Unreturning Grass Juice] x5

[Frost Licorice] x5

[Giant Demon Fat] x5

[And hundreds more...]

The selection was dazzling.

Zhao Chi was genuinely overwhelmed by the choices.

This was the first time he’d ever seen a filter being used while opening a Treasure Chest.

Broadly speaking, these materials were divided into three main categories.

The most common were things like wood, stone, and cloth.

Next were the slightly more precious and expensive ones, like Silk and Refined Iron.

Finally, there were the Rare Materials, like the Unreturning Grass Juice he used so often.

’Not bad.’

’Other than the items being different, this is the same as the Medicine Treasure Chest.’

Transfer information directly!

Two successes, one failure.

’A great haul.’

[You Have Obtained the Following Items]

[Silk Stockings Rare Materials] x300

[Shirt Rare Materials] x300

[Kerosene Rare Materials] x15

He still had four Treasure Chests left, which he decided to save for now.

He would open them as needed in the future, whenever he required more Rare Materials.
