Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

Chapter 216: Chapter 117: Exposed, the Mysterious Star Race

”These past few days are the crucial moment for Lords to develop their territories and face the assessment. This hail is just unacceptable. If it’s just for today, that’s fine, but if it keeps up tomorrow and the day after, the Lords won’t be able to take a single step, and the survival rate will plunge.”

In the Celestial Dao World, wasting two days is a terrifying thing.

Because of this special kind of hail, even Tai Zhong can’t work properly.

Right now, only the north city wall is finished, and the east side is only halfway done.

”Daddy, why does the hail hurt so much when it hits me?”

As soon as Yi Tian got back to the villa, Fourth Child was rubbing her head and asking Yi Tian.

The Kiddos are pretty optimistic—hit by hail a few times, not crying, not fussing. They bounce back quickly, giggling away.

”Heaven wants us to take a break! For the next while, let’s just stay indoors.” Yi Tian stroked Fourth Child’s little head, and sure enough, there was a little bump on her forehead. He felt so bad for her.

The Kiddos didn’t have to get hit at all, they just wanted to watch the hail, so they came outside, hopping and playing.

And each one got whacked, sent right back into the villa.

Third Child had the worst luck—got hit twice. After the first strike, she refused to give in and activated Vajra Indestructible.

But it still didn’t help.

Yi Tian gently rubbed each Little Kiddo’s head. It’s nothing serious. With the Kiddos’ constitution, the bump will disappear in a day, tops.

Drink some Osmanthus Wine, and it’ll heal up even faster.

Watching from under the eaves for a moment, Yi Tian noticed the wind wouldn’t stop and the hail just kept coming.

The wind flung the hail everywhere—you’d get hit no matter what.

Since the temperature’s above 30℃, the hail melts into water about two minutes after landing, seeping into the soil.

”I wonder if the Dragon Scale Armor can block this special hail?”

If you have an idea, you try it—Yi Tian put on the Dragon Scale Helmet, protected his eyes with an Infection Mask, and tucked his hands into his sleeves.

”Crack! Crack!”

Yi Tian had just taken a few steps when he hurried right back into the villa.

Without the armor, Yi Tian felt the hail hit every now and then.

But wearing the armor, he realized every single hailstone felt like a special one.

With this kind of concentrated strikes, the A-level Dragon Scale Armor would be smashed to pieces in no time.

Unless you had a higher-level Combat Armor, or one that could block 2000 attack power.

The Heavenless Bead Yi Tian had was useless against this—it keeps out water and fire, not hail.

”Seventh-Child, grab the calabash, Daddy’s taking you to pick something up.”

Yi Tian patted Seventh-Child’s head and spoke to her.

”Yay, yay!”

The Calabash Sisters trust Yi Tian unconditionally—if Daddy says it, no questions asked.

Yi Tian wrapped Seventh-Child tightly in the jacket of Dragon Scale Armor.

He’s going to brave the hail and go to the medium-sized Boutique Warehouse again, to bring back all the Black Flame Stones inside.

Each Black Flame Stone is about the size of a basketball—over two thousand pieces. Yi Tian can’t carry them all himself, so he’ll need Seventh-Child’s Purple Calabash.

The hail attacking Seventh-Child probably only has a 300-plus attack; the Dragon Scale Armor can easily handle that, keeping Seventh-Child unharmed.

Just as expected!

Once outside, countless hailstones battered the armor with Seventh-Child wrapped inside Yi Tian’s arms.

These hailstones bounced off quickly thanks to the Dragon Scale.

Yi Tian himself wasn’t so lucky—every few seconds, a special hail would slam into his body.

As for why it didn’t hit his head!

Yi Tian was wearing a helmet!

He’d already figured out the special hail’s rules!

If your head is covered, it hits other parts of your body.

If your whole body’s covered, then the hail just goes all out attacking.

After a dozen or so hits, Yi Tian finally reached the medium-sized Boutique Warehouse.

After letting Seventh-Child out, the Purple Calabash absorbed all two thousand plus Black Flame Stones.

And all the Black Flame Armors already manufactured were also stowed inside the Purple Calabash.

Yi Tian wrapped up Seventh-Child again, got hit another dozen times by special hail, and got back to the villa.

Life doesn’t stop, work doesn’t either.

Now that the Black Flame Stones are back, even if this hail lasts two days, it won’t keep Yi Tian from working.

But all that back and forth left his body aching all over.

He needs to rest up!

This hailstorm made Yi Tian decide to sell all the Black Flame Armors instead of giving them to the Dragon Sparrow Guard.

At first,

The Dragon Sparrow Guard’s stats were all just above 300.

Wearing Black Flame Armor was a huge power boost!

Yi Tian always had a clear plan: make standard armor for the Dragon Sparrow Guard.

But he didn’t expect a Star Beast reward, then two Celestial Beast full team rewards, and another Abyss full team reward.

Now half the Dragon Sparrow Guard are at B-level; the rest have stats all above 460.

And Black Flame Armor’s defense power is 500.

Combat Armor can’t be enchanted, and there’s no such thing as ”Armor Mastery.”

The Dragon Sparrow Guard wearing Black Flame Armor—they just look cool and overbearing. Otherwise, its defense is really poor value.

With things like this, they’re better off wearing leather armor made by the semi-automatic clothes machine.

And leather armor, whether for fighting or archery, is way more comfortable than Combat Armor.

Of all weapons, the best bang for your buck is definitely the spear—cheap and practical.

Even stuff like the B-level Strong Bow—if it didn’t have enchantments and Archery Mastery, it wouldn’t keep up with the territory’s development.

As long as this hail keeps up, Yi Tian will stay up all night getting every Black Flame Armor made, and he can make a killing.

In the long run, this is better for the territory’s development.

District Chat.

”Fuck, I was out setting traps and then got forced back inside—hurts like hell.” —Black Stone Star Human Race Shan Dashan.

”Wind and Cloud transforming, I thought we were in for a thunderstorm, turns out it’s ghost hail. Getting hit by it feels like a punch from a same-level warrior. Can’t take it.” —Qiong Clan Fei Yiming.

”Hail better stop soon! There’s not much time left, and I haven’t finished setting my traps.” —Deer Race Deer Biyong.

”I have to tear down the old wall and build a new one. That’s a ton of work. If it doesn’t stop till the 30th, I’m screwed.”
