Global Lords: Starting with Female Hero Fusion

As one could see, many of the guarantors were elders from various families.

Zhao Jiao and Zhao Huai, squeezed in among them, looked a little out of place.

No wonder Zhao Shizhang and Zhao Qiye had said what they did before.

It was as if having Zhao Huai and Zhao Jiao come was an injustice to Zhao Chi.

After all, it really made it seem like Zhao Chi wasn’t valued.

But Zhao Chi didn’t care.

Especially after what he’d just learned, he cared even less.

"Zhao Chi, Yuan Zhao and his group are here."

Lü Hong whispered, pointing to the side.

A small crowd of people was just pouring in from the side.

It was none other than Yuan Zhao and his followers.

Yuan Zhao saw Zhao Chi as well. "Well, well, Zhao Chi. You came too."

He started walking over as he spoke.

At the same time, he brought a lot of people with him.

Yuan Zhao had good looks and was generous with his money.

His family had intricate connections to the nobility, but they were an independent family in their own right.

Their strength was undeniable.

A person like that was naturally popular.

He always managed to gather a large following of both men and women.

And he probably enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by a crowd of adoring fans.

His face was filled with satisfaction.

Zhao Chi nodded. "Long time no see, Yuan Zhao. You been well?"

Yuan Zhao laughed heartily. "I should be asking you that. Of course I’ve been great. You may have won the last school-opening competition, but that was just a speed race. Plus, the Magical Beasts the instructors set up involved a lot of luck. This time, we’re fighting directly. You’d better watch out."

Zhao Chi nodded. "I’m sure you’ll get a good result."

Before Yuan Zhao could speak, two of his lackeys chimed in, trying to suck up to him.

"Isn’t that fucking obvious? If Yuan Zhao can’t get a good result, who can?"

"Who are you? What gives you the right to ask Yuan Zhao something like that? Of course Brother Yuan is always doing well."

Zhao Chi frowned and was about to curse them out.

But Yuan Zhao beat him to it. "What does this have to do with you? Shut your damn mouths!"

Then he said to Zhao Chi, "Don’t lower yourself to their level."

Since Yuan Zhao said that, Zhao Chi just nodded.

"Alright, I’m going to go see some friends. Good luck in the competition the day after tomorrow."

Yuan Zhao said his goodbyes with a smile.

In truth, Zhao Chi didn’t have much to say to him either.

He politely said goodbye as well.

A few of Yuan Zhao’s followers turned back to glare at Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi cursed, "Who are you glaring at, your daddy? You want to come over here and fight?"

The four of them said nothing and hurried to catch up with Yuan Zhao.

"Fucking idiots!"

Zhao Chi’s voice was loud, and many people nearby looked over.

His followers must have heard him, but they didn’t say a peep and just scurried away.

"What’s wrong, Zhao Chi? This isn’t like you."

The voice was gentle.

Zhao Chi was very familiar with this voice.

He turned his head to see a smiling female student standing beside him.

"Lu Yi? You’re here too? Are you competing this time?"

"Yeah, I live in Beiliu Village, so of course I’m here to compete. What just happened?"

"Nothing, just cussing out some trash. How are you doing now? Have the last few weeks been good for your development?"

Lu Yi sighed. "It’s been okay. The main thing was that a few days ago, we were assigned some Magical Beast quotas. We lost some Soldiers, but it wasn’t a big deal overall."

Beiliu Village was northwest of Stream Village.

Back then, the Magical Beast quotas didn’t just affect Stream Village; several surrounding villages were involved.

But after Strong Fragrance Food Street was wiped out, the quotas for each village were gradually reduced and eventually canceled.

Zhao Chi said, "As long as the losses weren’t too big. The good thing is there won’t be any losses in this competition."

Lu Yi said softly, "How about you? Is your development going smoothly? After you took first place, has your family started to value you more?"

Although Lu Yi’s practical combat skills weren’t great, she was a good person.

She had helped Zhao Chi quite a lot before, and he was very grateful to her.

"Mm, yeah, the family has started to pay attention to me."

"That’s great."

Lu Yi was genuinely happy for him.

As the two of them were talking, a figure kept pacing back and forth nearby.

Zhao Chi peered for a moment before spotting Cao Feng in the crowd.

’What’s this Cao Feng doing, acting all sneaky?’

"Cao Feng! What are you hiding for? Come over and chat!"

Lu Yi looked behind her in surprise.

Cao Feng looked slightly embarrassed.

But he still swaggered over, pretending not to care.

"Oh, it’s Zhao Chi. Why the hell are you yelling so loud? I can hear you. Lu Yi, it’s only been a few days, and you’ve gotten even more beautiful."

Shi Juan was following behind Cao Feng.

Just then, Shi Juan also came up to greet them.

"Hi~"

Lu Yi didn’t answer Cao Feng, asking Shi Juan instead, "Shi Juan, what are you doing here? Your home is up north, right? You’re not from one of the five villages, so can you still participate in the competition?"

Shi Juan shook her head and smiled. "No, I’m here with Brother Cao."

Zhao Chi nodded. "Cao Feng, I see it now. Shi Juan is truly loyal to you. You should stop staring at Lu Yi and the others all the time and take a look at who’s right beside you. Shi Juan is the one who’s most suitable for you."

Cao Feng was a little angry. "Damn it, who needs your damn commentary?"

If Zhao Chi had said anything else, Shi Juan would have definitely sided with Cao Feng.

But this time, she shot Zhao Chi a slightly grateful glance.

Then she stared intently at Cao Feng.

Cao Feng had no reaction, his eyes fixed only on Lu Yi.

’What a painful crush.’

Shi Juan’s looks were indeed average.

But having a woman willing to support him wholeheartedly and stay by his side was a blessing.

Unfortunately, Cao Feng sneered at such a blessing.

There were too many cases of unrequited love, like a falling flower pining for the unfeeling stream.

Zhao Chi asked, "Cao Feng, want to make a bet this time? You can put on a good show in front of Lu Yi and win back the face you lost last time."

"This..."

Cao Feng was actually considering it.

But Zhao Chi was just teasing him. After all, Zhao Chi wasn’t planning on fighting seriously.

Cao Feng shook his head. "Forget it. I’m not that petty. I don’t care about what happened before at all."

’He’s so fucking pretentious.’

"Wow, that’s Brother Cao for you."

Shi Juan’s ass-kissing followed right on cue.

At that moment, Zhao Chi saw Xiao Rui walk past.

Xiao Luan was walking beside him.

But Xiao Ning would probably never appear again.

After seeing Zhao Chi, Xiao Rui said nothing.

Zhao Chi knew what their family had gone through, so he didn’t say anything either.

But Xiao Rui shot Zhao Chi a fierce glare.

His eyes were full of hatred.

’Full of hatred?’

’I can’t let that slide.’

"Xiao Rui!"

Zhao Chi roared.

"Fuck! What’s wrong?"

Xiao Rui flinched, asking instinctively.

"Ah!" Lu Yi jumped back, startled.

Cao Feng didn’t speak, but his whole body tensed as he stared at Zhao Chi in shock.

Zhao Chi said, "Xiao Rui, what are you glaring at me for? What’s your problem?"

Xiao Rui gritted his teeth. "When did I glare at you? Is there something wrong with your eyes?"

Cao Feng said in surprise, "Xiao Rui? Long time no see."

Xiao Rui was taken aback when he saw Cao Feng. "Long time no see. Let’s talk later, I’m not in the mood right now."

He glanced at Zhao Chi again and turned to leave.

This time, his gaze was normal.

In just that short time, quite a few students had gathered nearby.

But they were basically all there for Lu Yi.

Zhao Chi said a quick goodbye to Lu Yi and moved to the side to wait.

There were a lot of people registering, but the process was fast.

Before long, Zhao Chi received a system notification.

[You have successfully registered for the "Newcomer Competition." Your guarantor is "Zhao Huai." If you have any questions, please contact the "River Valley Town Virtual Training Ground."]

[You can now configure your lineup for the "Newcomer Competition." It can be modified at any time before each battle.]

[The "Competition Format" and "Prize List" for this event have been distributed. You may view them at any time.]

’Looks like registration is complete.’

’It’s good that the combat configuration can be adjusted at any time.’

Zhao Chi tapped to view the details.

[Competition Lineup Configuration]

[Personal information has not yet been retrieved. Retrieving now. Confirm?]

The system’s information security level was very high.

’It’s fine to retrieve it.’

Besides, no power or organization would specifically investigate a commoner New Lord like Zhao Chi.

Would the National Security Bureau investigate the participants of a village-level private competition?

And use all their resources to do it?

No one would be that bored.

He tapped "Agree."

[Contestant Information]:

[Name] Zhao Chi

[Race] Human Race

[Supplement] 20 people per day

[Configuration] 200 people

The Ordinary Human Race gets a Supplement of 5 people per day.

The Peach Blossom Human Race gets a Supplement of 10 people per day. Since Zhao Chi has two territories, he can supplement 20 people.

The number of deployable units is equal to 10 days’ worth of refugees. So, Zhao Chi can field 200 people, while other Human Race players can only field 50.

However, Zhao Chi planned to field only 50 people himself.

That way, he wouldn’t draw too much attention.

Besides, a 50-person lineup was easy to configure.

It would just be himself, the three Female Heroes, and 46 Female Soldiers.

Among those Female Soldiers, 30 were veterans, around Level 7-9.

Of the remaining veterans, 20 had died and were later replaced with new recruits, who were around Level 4.

Their Levels weren’t high.

But he could buy some Experience Pills for them to consume.

Getting them to Level 10 at least wouldn’t be a problem, and Zhao Chi could afford it.

Once they reached Level 10, these Female Soldiers could be promoted.

But that would require constructing a new Soldier Type Building.

Zhao Chi had already arranged for Fang Li to build it, and it should be completed by this afternoon.

[Competition Format]

[System] Single-Elimination Tournament

[Matchmaking] Point Differential

[Participants] 88 pre-registered

[Time] September 20th, 9:00 AM

[Champion] First pick of 3 prizes

[Runner-up] Second pick of 2 prizes

[Third Place] Third pick of 2 prizes

[Other] Ranks 4-10 pick 1 prize each according to rank

’A single-elimination tournament?’

This was actually the cruelest type of tournament format.

Just one loss, for any reason whatsoever... whether you were counter-picked or just made a mistake, and you were eliminated.

After all, on a real battlefield, Magical Beasts don’t care about your reasons. They kill when it’s time to kill, without a moment’s hesitation.

The format was cruel, but it was also realistic.

The matchmaking method was point differential.

Zhao Chi didn’t quite understand, but there was a Note.

To put it simply, every battle would award points.

The closer the participants’ points, the lower the probability of them being matched.

The greater the point differential, the higher the chance of being matched.

In other words, it was less likely for strong players to be matched with other strong players.

It was also less likely for weak players to be matched with other weak players.

This was to prevent the strong from meeting in the early rounds and getting eliminated prematurely.

It was designed to let the strongest players make it to the end as much as possible.

There were 88 pre-registered participants this time.

About the same as before.

With 88 people, that meant a maximum of seven matches would be needed.

He estimated that a lucky few would get a bye in the first round, reducing their total to six matches.

That didn’t matter.

Although you couldn’t gain level-up experience from virtual battles, you could gain a lot of practical experience, including Combat Experience, for things like Swordsmanship.

Fighting an extra match wasn’t a bad thing.

The method for acquiring prizes in this competition was good.

All the prizes were pooled together, and you could pick whichever you wanted.

This way, you could choose the prize you needed most.

And the higher your rank, the earlier you got to pick.

It was very reasonable.

Not only did the champion get to pick first, but they also got to pick three items.

Picking first was the most important part.

After all, even though every family would provide prizes of a certain quality, there were still better and worse ones.

The runner-up and third place both got to pick two items.

After the top 3 finished picking, the 4th place would pick, and so on, down to the 10th place participant.

No wonder Zhao Jiao was so indignant after getting 11th place last time.

She was just one spot away and ended up with nothing.

Normally, a single-elimination tournament like this would easily determine the top 8.

But it was usually difficult to compare the 9th and 10th place finishers.

Since this competition had a point system, 9th and 10th place would be decided by points.

He then clicked on the [Prize List].

More than ten prizes appeared before his eyes.

[Prize List]

[2. Three Lives Stone]

[3. Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill]
