Global Lords: Starting with Female Hero Fusion

’These Treasure Chests are pretty great.’

’It’s just that there are too few of them.’

If there were more, Zhao Chi wouldn’t have to do anything else; he could get rich just by opening these Treasure Chests.

For now, all he could do was buy them on sight and make a small profit.

He had originally cleared out his System Space by giving everything to Gu Qing, but now it was full again.

Most of it was Rare Materials, along with a large number of Elixirs.

’I’ll put them all in the warehouse in a bit.’

As he was thinking, a long leg extended and dipped into the water.

It was followed by a soft, slick sensation.

"My Lord, when did you get back? I didn’t even notice."

The sweet voice belonged to Gu Qing.

"I just got back a little while ago. I saw you all were busy training together, so I didn’t want to disturb you. Is your teamwork going well now?"

Gu Qing tied up her hair.

She fashioned it into a knot on top of her head.

"We’re working together very smoothly now. Tang Ruan draws the enemy’s attention at the front and breaks through from the side, while I provide support and control from the rear. If we had to fight that last battle again, we’d definitely take far fewer losses."

Zhao Chi said with praise, "Not bad. We have two more battles coming up soon. One is virtual, and the other is real. The virtual one doesn’t matter much, just perform as you normally would. But you need to take the real one seriously."

Gu Qing reached out and gently washed Zhao Chi’s back.

"Understood. When are they?"

"The virtual one is in 5 days, and the real one is in 15 days."

"Okay, that is soon. We’ll give it our all."

"Good. I have faith in you."

As they were speaking, another splash came from the other side.

It was followed by a soft, warm touch.

Tang Ruan had arrived as well.

Zhao Chi asked, "How are you doing, Tang Ruan? I saw you getting ganged up on by several women just now. Are you okay?"

Tang Ruan’s face was beaming with joy.

She smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Of course I’m okay! My Lord, this Talent you gave me is amazing. Even though I was getting hit, I felt unusually excited and happy—even more so than before."

Tang Ruan’s Talent had been Promoted. Although the Note said "taking damage increases Morale," the actual Effect was probably far more than that.

Just look at the name: Masochistic Hobby.

’It’s even become a hobby...’

This meant that in future battles, when Tang Ruan charged into a crowd and took all sorts of Attacks, she would probably feel genuine happiness.

Now that both his and Tang Ruan’s Talents had been Promoted, only Gu Qing’s was left.

He estimated that Gu Qing’s Talent would probably be Promoted soon as well.

The three of them scrubbed and massaged each other, relaxing and having some fun before finally leaving the Carefree Spring.

Only then did they see Qi Yue approaching, drenched in sweat.

Tang Ruan said, "After we finished training, Qi Yue went off to practice his swordsmanship on his own again."

Zhao Chi sighed. "Qi Yue really is a diligent trainee. His progress must be obvious."

Seemingly influenced by Qi Yue, Gu Qing and Tang Ruan also wanted to continue training.

Zhao Chi stopped Gu Qing. "Do you still have space in your System Space?"

"A little."

"Take this Medicine and distribute it to everyone. And give me the World Stone."

"Okay."

He now had a total of 1,200 units of Basic Medicine, which averaged out to a little over 7 per person.

He’d let the Female Soldiers manage these themselves, taking them whenever they felt the need.

He moved the Materials from his System Space into the warehouse.

Zhao Chi took the World Stone in his hand.

’It should be safe now.’

After all, Zhao Quan had already inspected and approved it, and Du Li had also checked it with Master Muchang.

’There probably won’t be any more inspections.’

The World Stone could be used.

He tapped to activate it.

[Do you wish to activate the World Stone?]

Yes!

A multicolored light appeared.

It was like a rainbow condensed into a ball.

Prismatic light filled the area.

Soon, the light contracted and merged into Zhao Chi’s body.

[Please select an activation direction]

[1. Expand Territory World] (Available)

[2. Generate Territory World] (Unauthorized)

This was the same as the information Zhao Chi had received before.

He could freely expand his territory, but he couldn’t establish a sub-territory. He would only be qualified to do so after his Identity was promoted later on.

Zhao Chi tapped option two.

[You are not authorized and cannot generate a Territory World.]

’Can’t?’

’Who says?’

’Isn’t this a fucking option?’

’I am the king of options!’

Zhao Chi reached out and tapped.

SWISH!

A brilliant golden light erupted.

Both options began to emit a delightful golden glow.

"...It actually worked."

«Current territory option meets the conditions for 「Transplantation」. Transfer information?»

Transfer!

«Please select a transfer target.»

He selected option 2, and then transferred the "(Available)" from behind option 1 to option 2.

«First-time transfer of territory data. Restriction lifted. 100% success rate. Confirm?»

’Of course, I confirm.’

«Data transfer successful.»

Option two successfully changed to [2. Generate Territory World] (Available).

Zhao Chi was overjoyed.

He couldn’t help but look around.

There were only a few Female Craftsmen passing by; nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

He took a deep breath and tapped option two.

[Generating Territory World...]

[Please set initial conditions.]

[1. Please set the Climate.]

Just like before, the same interface appeared.

This meant the new world had been successfully generated.

Zhao Chi could now own two territories.

And this second territory was unregistered.

It was, so to speak, a lawless land.

’Just thinking about it is exciting.’

’Looks like I was born to be an outlaw.’

The options below were all the same.

He needed to set the [Climate], [Terrain], and [Topography] respectively.

Each setting had different advantages and disadvantages, just like last time.

Just like before, Zhao Chi gathered all the advantages and replaced the disadvantages.

«First-time transfer of sub-territory data. Restriction lifted. 100% success rate. Confirm?»

’Heh.’

’So sub-territories get a first-time bonus too?’

Confirm!

[Territory initial conditions: Temperate, Plains, Grassland]

[Temperate: Plant growth speed +20%, Mineral generation speed +20%]

[Plains: Potential farmland quantity +80%, Mineral reserves +80%]

[Grassland: Land quality +30%, Mineral quality +30%]

[Confirm?]

Actually, Zhao Chi really wanted to set the Climate to the Tropical Zone.

After all, tropical plants could grow year-round.

But the downside was that it was too hot.

Especially in the summer.

The Female Craftsmen in Zhao Chi’s territory worked 20 hours a day, and most of them were in that small workshop.

If it was too hot, the relevant environmental stats would decrease, and their Mood would drop quickly.

While it would increase the plant growth cycle, it would reduce the Efficiency of industrial production.

So it was hard to say which was better.

Besides, wearing Leather Armor or Iron Armor in such hot weather would be pretty uncomfortable.

If Zhao Chi’s Race were something like Fire Elf or Flame Dog, he would definitely choose the Tropical Zone.

But since his main Race was the Peach Blossom Human Clan, he decided against it.

’Although, the Tropical Zone does have a hidden benefit.’

’People wear less when it’s hot.’

’But...’

’Now that I have the Carefree Spring...’

As long as Zhao Chi was in the Carefree Spring, he could see as much as he wanted. And in there, it wasn’t a matter of wearing less—they wore nothing at all.

Besides that...

Zhao Chi was currently growing Highly Productive, fast-ripening wheat that matured in 30 days. With these territory bonuses, it would mature in just 25 days.

Plus, each harvest yielded 5 tons of wheat, which was more than enough.

Even if it couldn’t grow for the 3 months of winter, he wouldn’t be short on food.

After thinking it over, Zhao Chi ultimately chose the temperate climate.

A system prompt appeared:

[Please set initial configuration.]

[100 Configuration Points]

Ten options appeared before him.

Zhao Chi considered them for a moment.

Then he made his decision.

This time, he still wouldn’t choose a large river.

The reason was the same as before: a large river would bring enemies.

Just like how Alien Race camps sometimes appeared in uncontrolled territory.

This kind of large river would also occasionally spawn Alien Race enemies.

Most of them were Water Element Races, but sometimes there were Intelligent Races as well.

These Territory Configuration Points could be increased later, so he could always add a river when he needed one.

However, he could create a lake this time.

Each lake was a circle with an area of 1,000 square meters, giving it a radius of about 18 meters.

If he only configured 1, the area would be small and the depth shallow, and it wouldn’t have many fish or shrimp resources.

Configuring more would increase its area, depth, and resources.

’I need trees, too.’

Having trees was actually a bit of a hassle.

The trees had to be chopped down and the roots dug out before he could build or turn the land into Farmland.

But it wasn’t a big problem.

Those female loggers had great Power, worked long hours, and had the Carefree Spring’s +200% Physical Strength Recovery bonus. They could clear a whole section in a single day.

Besides, wood was extremely useful, so of course, the more the better.

’That settles it!’

First, he would transfer the data.

Again, it was a 100% success rate for the first time on a sub-territory.

[6. Forest: 1 point]

[7. Lake: 2 points]

[9. Small River: 3 points]

Of these three options, he’d only select ’Small River’ once, for 3 points.

Zhao Chi planned to select ’Lake’ 20 times, merging them into a single large lake of 20,000 square meters.

That was roughly the size of 3-4 soccer fields, which was plenty big.

He would put the rest of his points into ’Forest’.

A moment later, Zhao Chi finished his selections:

[You have selected the following]:

[Forest ×57: 57 points]

[Lake ×20: 40 points]

[Small River ×1: 3 points]

[Are you sure?]

’There’s no reason to hesitate. If it doesn’t work out, I can just change it later.’

Confirm!

[Initial configuration complete.]

[Your territory is now being generated.]

[Generation complete! Your territory is a small, Village Level territory. You may enter after naming it.]

’I have to name it again...’

Zhao Chi had a real headache when it came to naming things.

After some thought, he just picked a name at random.

[You have named your territory 「Penglai Village」. Is this correct?]

Penglai.

It was also a legendary Immortal Island.

A paradise secluded from the world.

And Penglai had an even more mysterious air to it.

His main territory was Peach Blossom, so it was fitting to name this unregistered sub-territory Penglai.

Confirm!

[Name successfully set. You can now view the territory’s information or enter the territory.]

New territories were relatively safe.

There would only be a single random Alien Race camp inside, with no other dangers.

But Zhao Chi didn’t enter just yet.

There was one setting left.

[Initial Race has not been set. You may set it for free. Set now?]

He clicked [Yes].

The familiar screen appeared again.

But this time, it was different from before. A total of 6 selectable Races appeared.

[Human], [Beastman], [Elf], [Skeleton], [Goblin], [Peach Blossom Human Clan]

The extra option was the Peach Blossom Human Clan.

Zhao Chi could still perform an information transfer.

But his last transfer had been pretty much perfect.

There was nothing left to transfer this time.

He thought it over and confirmed that was indeed the case.

He selected [Peach Blossom Human Clan].

Confirm!

[Penglai Village’s main Race has been set to 「Peach Blossom Human Clan」.]

With that, all the settings were complete.

The unregistered, free sub-territory, Penglai Village, was born!
