Global Lords: Starting with Female Hero Fusion
Chapter 220 - 219: Pre-war Preparations (4)At 3:00 PM, Zhao Chi returned to the territory.
He didn’t buy much on this trip to the County-Level Exchange.
Of course, all the items there were excellent and useful.
But with only 162 Gold Coins left, he couldn’t afford to spend recklessly.
It was still a lot of money, of course, but Zhao Chi had already spent over 920 Gold Coins since establishing his territory.
It was a fortune, but he’d spent it all without even really noticing.
He would only use the remaining 162 Gold Coins to buy things that were immediately useful.
He only bought 750 Experience Pills.
In total, it cost 139 Gold Coins.
Not cheap.
But for the sake of winning the competition, he considered it an investment.
The experience gained from one of these Experience Pills wasn’t all that much.
It took about 10 pills to go from Level 0 to Level 10.
The first pill could take you from Level 0 to Level 4.
A second pill would get you to Level 6.
But it got harder after that; going from Level 9 to Level 10 required three pills.
After Level 10, the Effect was barely noticeable.
It had poor cost-effectiveness.
This kind of Pill was originally intended only for improving Junior Soldiers.
He currently had 60 Soldiers, and these 750 Experience Pills were enough to get all of them to Level 10.
There would even be quite a few left over.
Anyway, the competition was at 9:00 AM the day after tomorrow, and another 40 people would arrive before then.
He’d make those 40 people Soldiers as well, bringing his total force to 100, and then have them all level up to Level 10 too.
The territory was a hive of activity.
Sounds of work filled the air, mingled with laughter and chatter.
These women could really talk.
Chatting while they worked, they could really go on all day.
But since their work wasn’t delayed, Zhao Chi didn’t interfere.
It kept their Mood up, and it was a way for them to regulate themselves, which was a good thing.
On his way back, Zhao Chi had received a system notification that the [Spear Soldier Camp] construction was complete.
Zhao Chi had planned for three barracks.
The Spear Soldier Camp, the Sword Soldier Camp, and the Bowman Camp.
He now had Iron Spears and Iron Sabers, and Iron Bows were currently in production.
Archery was also physically demanding.
After repeated shots, one’s arms would grow sore and fingers would ache.
Eventually, it would become impossible to draw the bow fully.
But these women possessed great Power. Drawing a bow was no problem for them; they could probably draw it fully every time for a long while.
Gu Qing and the others weren’t around; they were probably over at Penglai Village.
"My Lord, the Spear Soldier Camp is finished. The Sword Soldier Camp should be done by dawn, and the Bowman Camp will be ready by midnight tomorrow."
Fang Li passed by, carrying a few wooden planks on her shoulder.
Zhao Chi nodded. "Good. Why aren’t you using a cart? Isn’t that more strenuous?"
Fang Li smiled. "It’s just a few planks, so it’s more convenient to carry them directly. The Spear Soldier Camp is to the west. You can go take a look."
"Alright. Thanks for your hard work."
"It’s no trouble. I’m off!"
Zhao Chi planned to develop the western area into a Military district.
All the various barracks and Weapon stockpiles would be located here.
The 60 Female Militia were in the middle of training, their hair dripping wet.
They couldn’t have sweated that much. They must have just taken a bath and then started a new round of training.
Zhao Chi called a halt to the training.
"Everyone, stop for a moment. Come and take your medicine."
The Female Soldiers stopped, surprised.
"Coming!"
"Medicine? What kind of medicine are you giving us?"
"Is it a pill to increase Physical Strength? We don’t need it. Our strength is recovering quickly."
The Female Soldiers gathered around him.
The air was filled with a youthful energy.
Zhao Chi took out the Experience Pills.
They were portioned out into small bags, 100 pills per bag.
"These are Experience Pills. They’ll increase your experience, but the amount seems too small once your Level gets higher. Each of you, stop taking them once you reach Level 10."
The Female Soldiers all crowded closer to look.
They all smelled of shampoo.
’I should buy them a few different kinds next time.’
"Experience Pills?"
"My Lord, how do we take these? Is it the same as a Stamina Pill?"
"Do we need to chew them? Or just swallow them whole?"
"I can’t just swallow it dry. Can I go get a cup of water?"
A chorus of chattering erupted.
Zhao Chi gave a brief explanation.
The Female Soldiers took the pills one by one.
"Whoa, it’s so sour."
"Yeah, just swallow it. Don’t chew."
"Hahaha, look at your face! Oof, that really is sour."
"It’s actually pretty good. I like sour things."
"Then you’ll give birth to a son."
"Who am I supposed to have one with?"
"With the Lord, of course."
"The Lord is going to have one with Sister Gu Qing."
"Stop talking and eat. The Lord is watching you."
"Oh, hehe."
This group of women didn’t have the usual pressures of social interaction, so they spoke without a filter.
They said whatever came to mind.
Zhao Chi knew they were just joking around and didn’t take it seriously.
As the Experience Pills went down, the Female Soldiers winced and pursed their lips from the sourness, but their Levels began to rise rapidly.
Some of the Female Soldiers who had reached Level 9 began carefully taking the pills one at a time.
They were afraid of wasting any by taking too many.
"My Lord, I’m Level 10!"
"Me too."
"I’m Level 10 too!"
In a short while, all 60 Female Soldiers had reached Level 10.
Zhao Chi said, "Allocate your points yourselves. Same as before: those using spears, increase Defense; those using sabers, increase Attack Speed."
This time, Zhao Chi was giving a command.
The Female Soldiers answered in unison, "Understood!"
Of these 60 Female Soldiers, 40 used spears and 20 used sabers.
For the 40 Female Soldiers arriving in the next two days, Zhao Chi planned to have 20 use sabers and 20 use bows.
After all, footage of the upcoming battle would be made public.
He couldn’t enter their bodies to control them, so he would have to personally command a squad of Female Soldiers himself.
Right now, Zhao Chi and the three Female Heroes all had 20 points in Command.
Therefore, each of them could only pass on the Effects of their Hero Attributes to 20 subordinates.
For example, Martial Arts could increase Damage and Damage Reduction, while Government Affairs could increase Equipment Attributes.
When next month arrived, their Hero Attributes would increase.
If their Command Attribute increased then, they would be able to pass on the effects to more Soldiers.
In theory, it was best for the four of them to lead 80 Soldiers.
After all, leading any more than that would provide no Bonus.
But that was fine.
Even without the Bonus, these Female Soldiers were very powerful.
More Soldiers meant more Combat Power.
This wasn’t just for the upcoming competition; he simply wanted to expand his number of Soldiers.
He was preparing for the monthly exam at the beginning of next month.
The monthly exam involved heading out on a military campaign.
The scoring and rankings for that would be based on defeating enemy armies and the time spent occupying their territory during an invasion of an Alien Race’s lands.
Naturally, the more troops, the better.
The sooner they were promoted to Soldiers and began training, the better their coordination would be.
Soon, the Female Soldiers had all finished allocating their points.
Zhao Chi said, "Those with sabers, continue training. Those with spears, come with me. I’m taking you to be promoted."
At his words, many of the Female Soldiers began to cheer.
Promotion meant getting stronger, so of course they were happy.
The Sword Militia looked at the Gun Militia with a bit of envy.
Zhao Chi said, "You don’t need to be envious of them. The Sword Soldier Camp will be built tomorrow, and I’ll promote you then. Train hard."
Now, all the Female Soldiers were happy.
The Spear Soldier Camp was right nearby.
It was only a minute’s walk.
The Spear Soldier Camp was much larger than the Militia Camp. The main difference was its built-in training ground, and the barracks were bigger too, offering better living conditions.
[Building] Spear Soldier Camp
[Scale] Small
[Barracks] 20 Rooms
[Beds] 100
[Grounds] 1500 square meters
The Militia Camp only had 10 barracks rooms but also had 100 beds, with 10 beds per room.
The Spear Soldier Camp, however, only had 5 beds per room, just like an Ordinary Wooden House.
The living environment was naturally much better this way.
The training ground was also 500 square meters larger.
While still not huge, it was big enough.
"From now on, you will train here. I’m going to promote you into true Spearmen. Are you ready?"
"We’re ready!"
"Very good."
[Soldier Type Information]
[Profession] Spearman
[Tier] Tier Two
[Skills] Gun Technique +10
[Attributes] Enhancement Points +10
Soon, the 40 Female Gunners completed their promotion.
After promotion, they would still retain the 5 points in Shield Skill and 5 Enhancement Points they gained during their militia phase.
So now they all had a total of 15 extra Enhancement Points, as well as 10 points in Gun Technique, and 5 points in Shield Skill.
A faint, fluorescent light emanated from the bodies of the Female Soldiers.
But it quickly vanished.
They all wore looks of disbelief.
"My Lord... why do I feel so much stronger?"
"Yeah, my Gun Technique actually reached 11 points! Isn’t that a level that would normally take over a year to achieve?"
"Hey, look, did we get another 10 Enhancement Points?"
"Is this what it’s like to be a Tier Two Soldier? I feel so powerful right now, hehehe. Am I getting a big head?"
"You’re not getting a big head, because I was thinking the same thing, haha."
Seeing their excited smiles, Zhao Chi was in a good mood as well.
[Gunman] Average Stats
[Morale] 79% → 89%
[Mood] 131% → 141%
Their Morale and Mood had both increased by 10%; they were both happy and excited.
It was the perfect time to press on with their training.
"Alright, allocate your points the same way as before, and then get to training. Let’s see what you’re capable of now."
"Understood!!"
The Female Soldiers’ reply was especially loud this time.
Even without Zhao Chi’s order, they were already itching to go.
They were all eager to test their new strength.
Now that Zhao Chi had given the word, they snatched up their Wooden Spears and Shields and went to train.
With 10 points in Gun Technique Ability, they no longer relied on Barbaric Strength to simply thrust forward in combat.
They had grasped some of the finer points of Gun Technique.
Their fighting was much more fluid than before.
They could now utilize thrusts, lifts, jabs, parries, and blocks.
Now, when they trained, there was a real back-and-forth; it had truly become sparring.
Just then, Gu Qing, Yang Lu, and the others teleported back.
Seeing Zhao Chi, Gu Qing came over happily.
"My Lord, you’re back."
Zhao Chi nodded. "How are things on your end?"
Gu Qing smiled. "There are still a few animals left, but we should be done by tomorrow. Qi Yue has been chopping trees the whole time. With her Combat Skill, she alone is more effective than several professional Lumberjacks. She’s already cleared a large open space."
"It seems Qi Yue has really taken a liking to chopping trees."
"Not at all. She’s only chopping trees so diligently because she heard you want to develop Penglai Village as soon as possible. She’s doing it to clear land for construction faster; otherwise, she’d definitely be training."
"Oh, so that’s why."
"Mhm. That little girl Qi Yue is very earnest and obedient. She’s a good girl."
"Who are you calling a little girl?"
Gu Qing laughed. "I’m 26, and Qi Yue is only 20. In my eyes, she’s a little girl."
Zhao Chi smiled. "You’re not that old yourself. Let me tell you about the upcoming virtual battle."
"Oh, okay."
Gu Qing’s smile faded as she listened intently.
After all, this battle would have spectators.
If the prizes weren’t so tempting, Zhao Chi really wouldn’t want to participate.
But if he was going to participate, he had to win first place.
He had to get the right of first pick, as well as the quota of three items.
Otherwise, it would be largely meaningless.
So, they had to give it their all.
Gu Qing had appeared in the Great World before, but her Identity was as Zhao Chi’s subordinate Hero. No one would have guessed that it was Zhao Chi controlling Gu Qing when she went to the Strong Fragrance Food Street.
Besides, Gu Qing had been wearing a Mask and a cloak at the time.
One could only tell she was female; her specific features were hidden.
That’s why, even now, the nobles were still searching for a Lady Lord.
There was no problem with Gu Qing participating in the battle.
But even so, he couldn’t let Gu Qing reveal her face or figure during this battle.
Her features were too recognizable, after all.
She couldn’t leave an impression on anyone.
This didn’t just apply to Gu Qing, but to Tang Ruan and Qi Yue as well.
He would have the Tailor make them new Masks, in a different style from before.
They would also need cloaks or robes, and those would have to be in a different style, too.
As for their figures...
Gu Qing said, "I can use Spider Silk to bind my chest. Then no one will be able to tell."
"Good idea." Zhao Chi nodded. "Help Tang Ruan bind hers, too."
"Hehe, understood. What about Qi Yue?"
"Qi Yue... probably doesn’t need it."
"No way, she might feel left out. My Lord, you must treat everyone equally! Besides, Qi Yue is a C-cup, that’s not small either."
"That’s not what I meant... Fine, wrap her up a few times, too."
