Global Lords: Starting with Female Hero Fusion

’It’s a rare trip to the county seat.’

’After I buy the necessary items, I can check out some other clothing stores.’

’I can also buy some clothes for Gu Qing and the others that increase the Learning Attribute.’

This Exchange was huge.

It was split into two floors, an upper and a lower.

The first floor alone had two rows, left and right, for a total of 60 counters.

The second floor also had several dozen counters.

It was packed with people.

There were lines at every counter.

Zhao Chi picked a line and stood at the back, browsing the information on the items for Trade while he waited.

He filtered by keyword and quickly found the items he was looking for.

[Territory Attribute Unloading Talisman] 75 Gold Coins

[Small Building Relocation Talisman] 5 Gold Coins

’Just as I thought, they’re not cheap.’

’But they’re necessary.’

’I still have 450 Gold Coins, so I can afford them.’

Besides those, Zhao Chi also browsed through the Blueprints and Skill Books.

Sure enough, there were quite a few good things.

However, everything in the county seat was very expensive.

The items in the Exchange were no exception; they were much pricier than the ones in town.

After all, these goods were all listed for sale by ordinary people.

There were more people in the county, so even if things were sold at a high price, they would still find buyers.

After some thought, Zhao Chi selected a few more Skill Books and Blueprints.

Over half an hour later, Zhao Chi finally reached the front of the line.

He submitted his list of selected Supplies.

[Shopping List]

[Territory Attribute Unloading Talisman] 1

[Small Building Relocation Talisman] 1

[Vertical Wind Skill Book] 1

[Solid Defense Skill Book] 1

[Moon Blade Slash Skill Book] 1

[High Heel Improvement Book] 1

[Super High Heels Super-Improved Book] 1

[Rare High-Heel Materials] Large quantity

[Goods Payment] 225 Gold Coins

[Commission] 9 Gold Coins

[Taxes] 51.75 Gold Coins

[Total] 285.75 Gold Coins

The commission at the Exchange here was 4%, which was 1% higher than in town.

The tax rate was even higher this time.

It was probably because Zhao Chi was buying higher-value items.

’No matter. Pay up!’

The transaction was completed quickly.

He had 164 Gold Coins left.

’Money really burns a hole in my pocket.’

He had originally started with 685 Gold Coins, but between this morning and afternoon, he had already spent over 500.

It was no exaggeration to say he was spending money like water.

But what needed to be spent, had to be spent.

It was crucial to spend it to increase his Combat Power.

Besides, Zhao Chi had bought only necessary things, not items for his own enjoyment, so it wasn’t a waste.

So, Zhao Chi just sighed about it for a moment without any feeling of regret.

Now that he had the [Territory Attribute Unloading Talisman] and the [Small Building Relocation Talisman], he could move the "Arousing Atmosphere" trait and the "Carefree Spring" to Penglai Village.

But he wasn’t in a hurry.

He would wait until Penglai Village was ready before making the transfer.

Zhao Chi had originally wanted to buy an Improvement Book for the Phoenix Cry Saber, but there were none.

However, he did see a High Heel Improvement Book, and even a Super-Improved Book.

Super-Improved Books were very rare.

So they sold for a high price.

But Zhao Chi still bought it at that high price.

To him, it was worth it no matter how expensive.

Consequently, he also had to buy a large quantity of Rare Materials for making High Heels, which cost him quite a bit more money.

But this time, he had also bought three additional Spiritual Skill Books.

All of them were Basic level.

Among them were Solid Defense and Moon Blade Slash, which Zhao Chi had originally considered choosing for Tang Ruan and Qi Yue when they were promoted to Heroes.

But in the end, he had chosen the best Skills for the situation at the time, giving up on these two.

Now that he saw the Skill Books, however, Zhao Chi bought them without hesitation, regardless of the cost.

The Vertical Wind Skill was for Gu Qing.

It was a Basic Wind Spiritual Technique that allowed the user to summon and control a gust of wind.

It was originally meant to dispel dense fog and dust storms, or to be used in combination with Fire Spiritual Skills.

However, it was also very suitable for Gu Qing.

When Gu Qing performed Silk Spinning and Spraying Silk, she relied on muscle contractions to shoot out the Spider Silk.

But her muscle Power was limited, and so was her range.

This was especially true for the blood-colored threads from her hands, which had a shorter range.

If she could control the wind, she could use it to carry the Spider Silk much farther.

After all, Spider Silk was extremely light.

The wind could easily blow it a great distance.

After finishing his trades, Zhao Chi wandered around the county for over an hour.

He bought experience-boosting hair ties for his three Female Heroes.

[Name] Learning Hair Tie

[Quality] Excellent

[Level] Improved Level

[Durability] 15

[Color] Black

[Effective] Female Only

[Attributes] Learning +20%

[Improvement] Learning +20%

These hair ties had slightly lower Durability, so they were also a bit cheaper.

This way, all his Heroes would have clothing that increased their experience gain by 40%.

Zhao Chi quickly bought some lunch and hailed a ride back to the village.

The fare for the Spiritual Energy Vehicle back was more expensive, a full 5 Silver Coins.

But since Zhao Chi had just spent over 280 Gold Coins, he didn’t fuss over a few Silver Coins.

He quickly returned to the village.

It was just 4 PM.

Right at the village entrance, he happened to run into the horse-drawn cart transporting his Refining Workbench.

Under Zhao Chi’s direction, the workbench was moved into his warehouse.

From now on, Zhao Chi could start producing Super Bright Kerosene.

He hadn’t seen any at the Exchange just now, so he didn’t know how much it would sell for.

However, the improved version of High-brightness Kerosene sold for 200 Copper Coins a can.

His Super-Improved Kerosene should be able to sell for 700 Copper Coins a can.

The price was much lower than clothing.

After all, Kerosene was a consumable.

It could only be used once.

Clothing might not have high Durability, but it could still be used for a while.

Besides, even without Super Bright Kerosene, you could still use ordinary torches made from Ordinary Kerosene. Selling Super Bright Kerosene for 700 Copper Coins was already quite good.

But he would have to wait and see how much it would actually sell for.

Zhao Chi tidied up the area a bit.

He was just about to return to his territory.

when he suddenly heard a commotion outside, mingled with the sound of a woman crying.

Zhao Chi didn’t want to get involved, but he thought the woman’s voice sounded a little familiar.

’I’ll just take a peek through the crack in the door...’

Opening the courtyard gate, he saw more than 40 Black Armored Noble Soldiers walking out of the village.

Behind the Black Armored Soldiers were over 10 Alien Race Soldiers clad in cyan Exotic Armor.

Several of the Alien Race Soldiers were grabbing a woman.

The woman was struggling, but she was held firmly by the Soldiers.

’Are they still capturing Lady Lords?’

Zhao Chi closed the door a little.

Suddenly, he saw more than a dozen members of the Xiao Family following behind the soldiers.

They all looked furious.

’They captured someone from the Xiao Family?’

Zhao Chi quickly opened the door and took a closer look at the woman.

Xiao Ning!

’It can’t be...’

Although Zhao Chi was somewhat repulsed by Xiao Ning, he was even more repulsed by the nobles.

By this time, the procession had passed Zhao Chi’s courtyard, with the dozen or so members of the Xiao Family following along.

Behind them were some other people watching the spectacle.

Zhao Huai was also in the crowd behind.

Zhao Chi opened the door completely and walked out.

"Eleventh Brother, what’s going on?"

When Zhao Huai saw Zhao Chi, he sighed. "What else could it be? Master Muchang took a liking to her during the inspection this morning."

"Huh?"

"What ’huh’?"

"I mean, is it that direct? Where are they taking Xiao Ning?"

Zhao Huai snorted. "Where else? To the Noble District, to serve Master Muchang."

"So they’re just kidnapping her?"

"That’s right."

Zhao Chi frowned. "Isn’t this village Zhao Quan’s territory? Can that Alien Race member just snatch people from Zhao Quan’s land?"

Zhao Huai sneered, "The nobles? The one who wants her is from the Alien Race—the very Alien Race that the nobles can’t handle."

Zhao Chi said in surprise, "Wait, hold on. Is the Alien Race that strong now? They can even override the nobles?"

Zhao Huai sighed. "You only cared about studying at the academy before and paid no attention to anything else. You should pay more attention to what’s happening outside from now on."

Zhao Chi asked hurriedly, "Eleventh Brother, can you give me a simple rundown?"

Zhao Huai said, "You know how the Alien Race got here, right?"

"I know. They came from other towns through territory connections."

"You know they forced their way in, right?"

"I know."

"You know the nobles were defeated, right?"

"I know. The Alien Race could only break in because the nobles were defeated."

"No, I’m talking about the great war they lost three months ago."

"I know about that."

"If you know everything, then why are you asking me?"

Zhao Chi was still completely baffled. "Don’t the nobles lose battles all the time? But there are so many nobles, losing a few hundred shouldn’t matter, especially since there are so few members of the Alien Race."

Zhao Huai shook his head. "I don’t know the specifics either. In short, the nobles have chickened out now. I heard District 4 has already been handed over to the Alien Race."

Zhao Chi had never even heard of this. "No way! District 4? Given to the Alien Race?"

Zhao Huai nodded. "That’s just what I heard, I don’t know if it’s true. But it’s definitely a fact that members of the Alien Race are living in the Noble District."
