Global Lords: Starting with Female Hero Fusion

The several ratings given by the system this time were all very high.

The Combat Difficulty was rated as Heaven-defying. It was indeed heaven-defying enough. Zhao Chi, with a Combat Power of 230, completely crushed Huang Bian, who had 312 Combat Power, scored a total victory over Xiao Ning with her 2,308 Combat Power, and defeated Iwagaki, whose Combat Power was unknown but undoubtedly had an extremely high absolute value. This was naturally heaven-defying.

The Combat Performance rating was Epic. After all, in the system’s eyes, a battle of this nature was incredible and absolutely deserved to be recorded in history. An Epic rating was perfectly reasonable.

The Battle Result was Perfect. This rating was not on the same Level as the previous two; it had appeared before and wasn’t the absolute highest pinnacle rating. After all, Zhao Chi had ultimately lost seventy Female Soldiers. If they hadn’t died, or if the casualties had been fewer, the result rating likely would have been higher.

Combining the Combat Difficulty, Performance, and Result, the system awarded an ultra-high Experience Bonus of +520%. This was also to be expected. As for the experience... Close to two million? Zhao Chi counted the digits several times, confirming he wasn’t mistaken—it really was that much. Experience on the scale of millions!

With an Individual Contribution of 13%, Zhao Chi himself also gained nearly 260,000 experience points. This directly caused his Level to experience a Level 6 jump, reaching Level 22. It truly felt like riding a rocket.

Not only Zhao Chi, but Gu Qing, Tang Ruan, and Qi Yue had all leveled up to Level 22 as well. Qi Yue had joined later, so her Level was originally slightly lower. But now, as Levels increased and the required experience to level up grew, she had caught up to Zhao Chi and the others’ Level.

The spoils of war this time were quite plentiful. Although Time was tight and they couldn’t transport all the Supplies from Xiao Ning’s territory, Zhao Chi could still be considered to have struck it rich. They captured 68 tons of food. This included staple grains, meat, as well as vegetables, fruits, and more. Of course, there were also some meats of unidentifiable origin. Zhao Chi didn’t want any of those; he sold them all.

Calculated at an average of 10 Copper Coins per kilogram of food, these 68 tons could be sold for 68 Gold Coins. That equated to 1 Gold Coin per ton. Even after deducting taxes, there would be at least 50 Gold Coins left. That wasn’t a small amount either.

There were even more basic resources. Wood, Iron Ore, stone, thatch, Fur, Iron Ingot, cloth, and so on—there was a total volume of nearly 22,000 units. Of course, the most abundant resource was the least valuable Iron Ore. If he sold it all, it would probably fetch around 200 Gold Coins. But Zhao Chi wasn’t selling any of it. After all, they were basic resources; it was better to keep them as his own reserve of Supplies.

With so many things, the Merlin Team’s Chopping group and Xia Jing’s Mining group wouldn’t need to work for the Time being. Additionally, Yang Lu’s Hunting group, which hadn’t had much to do for a while, would also temporarily go help others. Mainly, they would be assisting Fang Li’s Building group.

What made Zhao Chi the happiest was capturing 1,009 units of Rare Materials this time. Most of them were seized from Xiao Ning’s storehouses. Moreover, they were all commonly used Rare Materials, which would save Zhao Chi a lot of money. Right now, with turmoil everywhere and normal Trade channels lost, buying things wasn’t convenient. With these Rare Materials, Zhao Chi’s need for Materials would be alleviated. They were probably worth about 250 Gold Coins.

The Equipment this time was also quite plentiful. Especially the Refined Iron Equipment, of which there were a full 1,030 pieces. More than half were stripped from corpses, while a smaller portion came from inventory. Unfortunately, they were all men’s styles. But it didn’t matter; they could be sold for money.

Normally, a five-piece set of Refined Iron Armor would go for around 5 Gold Coins. The ones Zhao Chi captured didn’t have high Durability; they were covered in knife marks hacked by the Female Soldiers and holes pierced by Spears. Because of this, the price would be much lower. At an average of 1.5 Gold Coins per set, they could sell for over 300 Gold Coins. After deducting taxes, he would still get over 200 Gold Coins. That wasn’t bad either.

There were also nearly 6,500 pieces of Iron Equipment, a minority of which were Weapons and the majority Armor. Most of the Armor was also taken off corpses, battered and broken by the Female Soldiers, making them worthless. The Weapons were severely worn as well, so they couldn’t fetch a good price either. If sold at the price of Damaged Armor and old Weapons, selling them all would yield around 600 Gold Coins. That was acceptable too.

Some of the Leather Armor were new, while others were stripped from the bodies of the Tier One Beastman Militia. These pieces of Leather Armor didn’t have low Durability, so their value hadn’t dropped much. Selling them would probably bring in around 200 Gold Coins as well. If all this Equipment were sold off, Zhao Chi could obtain 1,000 Gold Coins. That wasn’t considered a small amount.

However, Zhao Chi’s losses weren’t small either. The Female Soldiers’ Equipment was basically all battered; little Durability remained, or they were completely destroyed. This included their Shields and backup Shields. The Weapons’ Durability was also running low, requiring replacements across the board.

Following the standard loadout—a full set of Iron Armor, two Shields, and all Weapons—they would need 1,600 pieces of brand-new Iron Equipment in total, costing roughly 450 Gold Coins. Since they were brand-new Equipment, they were naturally more expensive than the damaged spoils of war they had captured. That averaged out to 2,800 Copper Coins per piece of Equipment. Of course, this was just a very rough average price. The most expensive was Chest Armor, while Hand Armor and Iron Spears were relatively cheaper.

However, Zhao Chi wasn’t going to buy them. He would definitely have Ding Dang and the other Blacksmiths craft them. Materials like Iron Ingots were plentiful; they just needed Time. Besides the Equipment, their cosmetic outfits were basically all lost as well.

Unlike Tang Ruan, those Female Soldiers didn’t possess ultra-strong Defense Abilities. Therefore, after their Iron Armor was broken, the Female Soldiers would switch to their cosmetic outfits to protect their Bodies. Cosmetic outfits didn’t have Defense, but they did have Durability. They could withstand a few Attacks on behalf of those Female Soldiers. The Female Soldiers were naturally reluctant to sacrifice them.

But this was Zhao Chi’s order. They had to do it. The cost of cosmetic outfits was indeed quite high, and losing one meant losing a lot of money. But if the battle was truly that intense, to the point where the Armor’s Durability was completely depleted, they couldn’t afford to worry about financial losses. At that point, they had to win the war at all costs, otherwise they might even lose their lives.
