Global Lords: Starting with Female Hero Fusion

When I made the Silk Stockings last time, I had to finish crafting them with Gu Qing’s silk before activating the new material’s bonus.

It should be the same this time.

I need to craft something with the new Spider Lady Silk first.

However, the silk thread in my inventory was all from the previous stockpile. I needed to get Gu Qing to produce some more.

Zhao Chi immediately teleported to Peach Blossom Village.

But he didn’t see Gu Qing in the village.

He just heard a commotion coming from the distant woods.

Gu Qing was catching animals with Yang Lu and the others.

Zhao Chi went over and saw several wild deer already entangled, while Yang Lu and the others were herding the last two.

Soon, the last two were also entangled by Gu Qing.

"There’s a small herd of wild boars over there! Let’s go drive them out!" Yang Lu said, pointing ahead.

Several female hunters immediately moved to encircle them from both sides.

Just as Gu Qing was about to rush over, she saw Zhao Chi.

In her heart, Zhao Chi always came first, so Gu Qing immediately turned back.

"My Lord, were you looking for me?"

"Yes. I need your new silk."

"How much do you need? Just a little to test, or a large quantity to use as materials?"

"A large quantity."

Without hesitation, Gu Qing pulled down her Leather Leg Guards, her round cheeks trembling slightly.

"My Lord, there’s no wooden basin here."

"It’s fine. Just produce it onto my hands. I’ll take it back and put it directly into the basin myself."

"Oh..."

Gu Qing obediently squatted down.

Zhao Chi squatted down as well.

SSS~ SSS~ SSS~

SSS~ SSS~ SSS~

’This is a huge amount.’

’Just as expected from a +1000% bonus.’

The warm silk thread piled up in Zhao Chi’s hands, growing heavier and heavier.

His entire palm and forearm were covered in it.

This single batch was enough to make a good number of Silk Stockings or Shirts.

Gu Qing gave one last push, then stood up.

"My Lord, is this enough?"

"It’s more than enough. I’m heading back to craft. You can get back to what you were doing."

"Okay."

Arriving at the Tailor shop, he called out, "Tang Ruan, quickly prepare a basin of solution! I need to remove the stickiness from this Spider Silk."

"Alright."

Tang Ruan was very experienced by now.

She was a perfectly qualified assistant.

After a while, the wooden basin was filled with densely packed, fine threads.

Zhao Chi immediately began crafting.

’As expected, this new silk is a bit more difficult to work with.’

This Spider Lady Silk was softer and even harder to control.

However, the general technique remained the same; it was just that the failure rate was higher.

Zhao Chi was extremely careful, and with the help of Tang Ruan’s nimble fingers, he still managed to succeed.

The process was very slow this time.

After all, it was his first time using this material, so a single Speeding Charm only yielded two Shirts.

[You have successfully crafted a "Women’s Shirt Fashion"]

[Your Sewing Skills have increased to 31, and your Shirt Specialization has increased to 12.]

His Sewing Skills and Specialization had both increased by another point.

’It seems crafting with new materials gives an extra Experience Bonus.’

He checked the fashion item’s Attributes:

[Women’s Shirt]

[Attributes] Professional Skills +5

[Material] Professional Skills +10, Durability +160

Zhao Chi was delighted.

’The Material attributes have doubled!’

’It seems the materials really are crucial.’

Zhao Chi activated the Women’s Shirt Improvement Book again.

A familiar flash of light appeared, followed by an interface.

[Different materials detected in the current fashion item. Please select:]

[1. Silk]

[2. Spider Woman’s Silk Thread]

[3. Spider Lady’s Silk Thread]

He selected the third option.

The familiar interface opened up.

The Configuration Points interface appeared.

[Please select an Improvement direction]

[Shirt Improvement Points] 30

[1. Physical Strength 5%] 10 points

[2. Defense 10%] 10 points

[3. Work Speed 5%] 5 points

[4. Comfort Level 10%] 2 points

[5. Cleanliness 20%] 2 points

’Whoa, 30 Improvement Points this time.’

’The Improvement Book provides 10 points.’

’That means the Spider Lady’s Silk Thread provides the other 20.’

This truly took Zhao Chi by surprise.

After all, it didn’t look much different from the previous silk.

He hadn’t expected it to provide another 10 Improvement Points.

This meant the defense-focused shirt could now have another 10 points configured.

And both types of Silk Stockings could be strengthened again, too.

’That Gu Qing... She’s a true master of materials science.’

’I’ll modify the others later. First, I need to finish improving this Work Speed shirt.’

He activated Transplantation.

He would transfer the 2-point values from "Comfort Level" and "Cleanliness" to "Physical Strength" and "Work Speed."

[Current data compatibility is high. Transfer success rate is 79%. Confirm?]

He chose not to.

’I have 22 Technology Points now, so I’m not taking any risks.’

He consumed 2 Technology Points to raise the success rate to 99%.

He clicked confirm.

[Data transfer successful.]

[3. Work Speed 5%] 2 points

’Excellent. I’ll dump all the Configuration Points into Work Speed!’

Zhao Chi clicked frantically.

But after adding it 10 times, the button became unresponsive.

[This Attribute has reached its maximum. Please choose another Improvement option.]

’There’s a limit?’

Whether it was with Silk Stockings or Shirts, Zhao Chi had never tried to upgrade a single attribute more than 10 times before, so he never knew.

’Well, if there’s a limit, so be it.’

’Increasing Physical Strength is a good alternative.’

[Your Improvements are as follows:]

[1. Physical Strength 5%] x5

[3. Work Speed 5%] x10

[Confirm?]

Confirm!

A strange sensation washed over him.

He had experienced this feeling many times, and it was different every time.

But Zhao Chi knew it meant the configuration was successful.

Next, he went into work mode, spent another 2 Technology Points, and finished reconfiguring the defense-boosting Super-Smooth Shirt as well.

He had already configured the Super-Smooth Shirt with 10 Defense upgrades previously, and just like before, he couldn’t add any more this time.

It seemed a 100% Defense increase was the cap for this piece of fashion.

The attribute was already very high, so he had no regrets about it being maxed out.

Zhao Chi did the same thing and configured the remaining points into five stacks of the Physical Strength upgrade.

’An increase in Physical Strength is always good.’

Physical Strength was crucial for both crafting and combat.

Next step: improve the finished products.

He spent one Speeding Charm and finished crafting both types of women’s shirts.

[You have successfully improved the "Super-Smooth Women’s Shirt".]

[You have successfully improved the "Super High-Efficiency Women’s Shirt".]

[Your Sewing Skills have increased to 33, and your Shirt Specialization has increased to 14.]

’Successfully performing an Improvement also gives a good amount of professional experience.’

’Nice.’

He clicked to inspect the new shirt’s attributes.

[Name] Super High-Efficiency Women’s Shirt

[Quality] Standard

[Level] Super-Improved Level

[Durability] 20

[Color] Creamy, Pale Yellow

[Effect] Female Only

[Attributes] Professional Skills +5

[Material] Professional Skills +10, Durability +160

[Improvement] Work Speed +50%, Physical Strength +25%

[Explanation] The ultimate high-efficiency version of the special-material shirt fashion. Maximizes Work Speed while also providing a significant Physical Strength boost, allowing the wearer to maintain high efficiency for longer periods.

The first fashion item perfect for Female Craftsmen was born.

Originally, the shirt’s Durability wasn’t high.

Only 20.

But now, thanks to the Spider Lady Silk material, it gained a direct 160 Durability, for a total of 180.

A suit of Leather Armor only had 150 Durability.

In terms of sheer durability, this translucent shirt was even tougher than Leather Armor!

However, that was only its durability. After all, Leather Armor had a Defense Attribute, which this shirt lacked.

So it definitely couldn’t be worn on the outside as Armor.

Even the +100% Defense shirt had a base Defense Power of 0; the 100% bonus was applied to the wearer’s other Armor and their own body’s defense.

The shirt’s high Durability just meant it was very long-lasting.

Still, that was a great attribute to have.

No matter how carefully it was worn, the shirt would still degrade over time.

Once its Durability hit zero, the shirt would be destroyed.

So this 180-Durability shirt could be worn for eight times longer than a 20-Durability shirt.

Roughly speaking, one of these was worth nine of the old ones.

It gave a total of +15 to Professional Skills.

A threefold increase.

Fifteen points in Professional Skills was equivalent to one and a half years of full-time work experience.

Combined with the 5 points that Craftsmen were naturally born with, that came to a total of 20.

This meant that as long as a Female Craftsman put on this shirt...

...she would instantly possess the equivalent of two years of full-time work experience without doing anything else.

That was more than acceptable.

However, he didn’t have time to make too many right now.

After all, he had to prioritize making the combat-oriented ones.

Zhao Chi clicked to inspect the newly enhanced defensive shirt.

[Name] Super-Smooth Women’s Shirt

[Improvement] Defense +100%, Physical Strength +25%

The name hadn’t changed.

It was still called the Super-Smooth Women’s Shirt.

Its other Attributes were the same as the High-Efficiency Shirt.

It also had 180 Durability and provided a +15 bonus to Professional Skills.

The only difference was the focus of its Improvements.

The +100% Defense was there before; the new addition was the +25% Physical Strength.

And it increased maximum Physical Strength, at that.

Combined with the +200% Physical Strength Recovery Effect from the Carefree Spring, the synergy would be immense.

Wearing this shirt would give the Female Soldiers extremely good Physical Strength.

Especially Tang Ruan. With more Physical Strength for running, she could use Taunt on enemies and lead them on a chase all over the battlefield for a long time without tiring.
