Global Lords: Starting with Female Hero Fusion

The new Silk Smooth Shirt was great, but all the female villagers were still wearing the old model.

It wasn’t worth replacing them right away.

The High-Efficiency Shirt was a huge help to Craftsmen, but it was ultimately a work-support Shirt. What he needed now was combat-oriented fashion.

That left only one target: High Heels.

A brand-new piece of fashion would provide a 100% fashion bonus.

He had already used the Blueprint for the High Heels fashion.

Zhao Chi took out the [High Heel Improvement Book] and the [Super High Heels Super-Improved Book].

He used them one after the other.

This time, he was using Tang Ruan’s Body to do it.

Tang Ruan watched the light curiously, inwardly astonished.

But she remained perfectly still and obedient, letting Zhao Chi control her.

Even though he was controlling Tang Ruan’s Body, the Improvement interface appeared in Zhao Chi’s mind.

A pair of High Heels appeared before him.

Surrounded by various Improvement options.

[Please Select an Improvement Path]

[High Heels Improvement Points]: 20

[1. Evasion +5%]: 10 Points

[2. Terrain Adaptation +10%]: 10 Points

[3. Foot Attack +30%]: 5 Points

[4. Comfort Level +10%]: 2 Points

[5. Cleanliness +20%]: 2 Points

The Improvement Points had gone straight to 20.

Ten points came from the Improvement Book, and the other ten from the Super-Improved Book.

Without the Material Bonus from Gu Qing’s Silk, he was short 10 Improvement Points.

’But I can transfer data, so it’s fine.’

The first option was the universal Attribute "Evasion," still an increase of 5%.

Barring any surprises, he would probably choose to improve Evasion.

After transferring the data, he could boost Evasion to 50%.

’Not bad at all.’

The second option wasn’t an Improvement path for Defense, but for Terrain Adaptability.

’That’s also very good...’

However, increasing Terrain Adaptation to 100% didn’t mean you could treat any terrain like flat ground.

It simply meant you could adapt to it better.

For example, in the snow, an Ordinary person’s Movement Speed would decrease by 50%, and they would have a 50% chance of slipping.

After increasing Terrain Adaptability by 100%, their speed would only decrease by 25%, and the chance of slipping would also drop to 25%.

So, 100% wasn’t the cap for the Effect.

’But this Attribute is excellent.’

After all, Zhao Chi was still too weak and could only fight within his own territory.

Once he grew stronger, he would inevitably venture into the territories of others.

And the lands outside were incredibly diverse.

The lizardman territory was a desert—slippery and easy to sink into. Terrain Adaptability would help avoid that to a great extent.

The fishman territory was a swamp, which also required more Terrain Adaptation.

Slippery ground, steep mountain peaks, narrow eaves, bent treetops.

Terrain Adaptability would be useful in all of them.

’It’s a great support Attribute.’

’The third option... foot Attack?’

’The value is quite high, a 30% increase in Attack Power per upgrade.’

’But it’s not practical.’

’Foot Attack...’

’It just means kicks.’

’This is for combat, not a fistfight.’

’Combat is still centered around Weapons and Equipment.’

’However...’

Generally speaking, the Power of a kick is three to five times that of a punch.

Looked at that way, this 30% foot Attack was comparable to a 90-150% boost to punches.

’One Level might not have a noticeable Effect, but if I stack it high, it could actually be decent.’

In formation battles, it could serve as a secondary means of attack.

You could land a surprise kick and deal an unexpected heavy blow to an enemy.

’In tight terrain where you can’t swing a Weapon, this Attribute could be useful.’

At night, if Gu Qing used her feet like she did last time... he didn’t know how long he could play tough.

After all, fashion and Equipment were two separate systems.

Even if she wore High Heels as fashion, her feet would still be bare if she switched to her Equipment Form.

They would still feel like soft soles to the touch.

But that wasn’t a battle with an enemy.

In any case, this was not what Zhao Chi needed to choose right now.

’The fourth and fifth options are the same old story.’

’Comfort Level and Cleanliness.’

’Actually, Comfort Level is pretty necessary.’

’These are High Heels, after all.’

Zhao Chi had never worn them, but he’d heard from women around him that they made your feet tired.

’So, in theory, I should add some points to Comfort Level.’

’But that would mean sacrificing other, more important Attributes.’

’I wonder if your feet would still get tired if you wore High Heels as fashion and then switched to your Equipment Form?’

But compared to being tired, victory in battle was what mattered most.

No matter how comfortable your feet were, if you were defeated, it was all over.

’No points in Comfort Level for now.’

’Cleanliness...’

’I didn’t even add points to the Cleanliness of the Silk Stockings, so why would I add any for the High Heels?’

’A little stink won’t kill you.’

’It’s not like it’s fatal.’

’Having less Evasion and getting hit by an enemy—that’s what’s fatal.’

’Just need to be diligent about cleaning the shoes.’

’So, no points in Cleanliness for now either.’

So, it was a choice between "Evasion" and "Terrain Adaptation."

However, it would still be some time before Zhao Chi started fighting outside his territory frequently.

Therefore, Terrain Adaptability wasn’t particularly practical for his current situation.

’That settles it.’

’All in on Evasion!’

Activate Transplantation.

Transfer data!

〖Current data has high compatibility. Transfer success rate is 76%. Confirm?〗

He spent another 2 Technology Points to raise the success rate to 96%.

He clicked confirm.

〖Data transfer successful.〗

[Your Improvements are as follows]:

[1. Evasion +5%] x10

[Confirm?]

Confirm!

The air grew strange again.

But it quickly returned to normal.

Now he could craft all-Evasion High Heels.

The "Evasion" Attribute was similar to "Terrain Adaptability" and "Efficiency."

Getting +100% Evasion didn’t mean you could ignore all enemy Attacks.

This +100% Evasion increased the Evasion Attribute, not the actual evasion probability.

For instance, if you could evade one out of every four enemy attacks before, now you could evade one out of every two.

It increased your Evasion Ability.

But that was still excellent.

These High Heels would be the focus of Zhao Chi’s work for the next few days.

He would craft High Heels for all the Female Soldiers to significantly boost their Evasion Ability.

Zhao Chi: [Tang Ruan, we’re about to really start crafting now.]

Tang Ruan: [Got it.]

Zhao Chi: [Wake me up before 6 a.m. tomorrow. I need to go to Penglai Village and check on the new villagers.]

Tang Ruan: [Okay, I’ll remember.]

Soon, Zhao Chi began a new crafting session.

The main Material for High Heels was leather.

It also required a few Iron Ingots and some Rare Materials.

Although High Heels couldn’t be made with silk, he could use Ice Bear Fur.

After all, Ice Bear Fur also provided a Material Bonus, and the more, the merrier.

Soon, the first pair was finished.

[You have successfully Improved "Super Flexible High Heels."]

[Your Sewing Skills have increased to 34. Your Shirt Specialization has increased to 14.]

His Professional Skills had leveled up again.

It seemed easy, but actually improving this kind of fashion wasn’t simple.

Zhao Chi could only do it by using Transplantation and observing the grayed-out data.

An Ordinary person would never be able to craft it successfully.

Only a High Level Professional Craftsman or higher would have a chance at a successful Improvement.

He checked the Attributes.

’Not bad.’

The High Heels looked like a very conventional pair.

They had a slightly pointed toe and an extremely thin heel.

Zhao Chi didn’t know much about High Heels, so he couldn’t tell if the heel was 8 centimeters or 10.

In any case, the heel wasn’t short.

Because they were made from Ice Bear Fur, the surface of the shoes was covered in a layer of white fluff.

They felt nice to the touch, all fuzzy.

The inside of the shoes was the same.

It was all white fluff, which would increase comfort.

’But on the other hand, wouldn’t they be hot?’

The High Heels originally had 100 Durability. With the extra 50 Durability from the Ice Bear Fur Material, their total Durability was now the same as Leather Armor Boots.

As he was looking, his time with the Body Driving Technique ran out.

Zhao Chi didn’t extend the duration.

He shot directly out of Tang Ruan’s body.

Tang Ruan was surprised. "My lord, why did you leave?"

Zhao Chi said, "It’s fine, I did it on purpose. You try on these High Heels. See if they’re hot to wear and if they make your feet tired. If you experience any of those negative effects, try switching to your Equipment Form and see if that gets rid of them."

Tang Ruan nodded obediently. "Oh, okay. These shoes are so beautiful."

Tang Ruan couldn’t help but stroke the surface of the shoes again, enjoying the fuzzy texture.

She switched to her fashion Form.

She was wearing Silk Stockings and cloth shoes.

After taking off her cloth shoes, she gently stepped into the High Heels.

Then the other foot.

"Ah, my lord!"

Tang Ruan lost her balance.

Zhao Chi quickly caught her.

Tang Ruan laughed. "Hehe, this is my first time wearing High Heels. They really are hard to wear."

Tang Ruan placed her hands on Zhao Chi’s shoulders and lifted one leg.

She smoothly put on the other shoe.

Zhao Chi felt that she had suddenly gotten taller.

She was almost as tall as Gu Qing now.

Tang Ruan, who originally only came up to Zhao Chi’s chin, was now eye-level with him.

Tang Ruan let out a soft laugh.

Then she slowly raised her hands.

CLICK~

She took a steady step.

CLICK-CLACK~

And then two more.

"Huh?" Tang Ruan was a little amazed. "My lord, the balance is really good! I thought I’d be unsteady."

Zhao Chi was also surprised. "Seeing you just now, I thought you’d be unsteady too. Try walking faster, or maybe try jumping."

"Okay."

Tang Ruan started running around Zhao Chi, CLICK-CLACK-CLICK.

Her steps were light, with no adjustment period whatsoever.

It seemed as if she could completely master the shoes the moment she put them on.

After running a few laps, Tang Ruan jumped forcefully.

She landed.

CLACK! CLACK!

Her knees bent slightly as she landed steadily on her feet.

The shoes didn’t even wobble.

"My lord, they’re so stable! No problem at all!"

Tang Ruan was very excited.
