Chapter 285
A pleasant breeze blew over the grass. A young couple was sitting next to each other under a big tree.
Grid and Irene.
“Dear husband. Heheh."
There seemed to be hearts around them. Irene was reunited with Grid after six months, so she was the happiest person in the world.
"This moment seems so unreal. I don't want this dream to end."
Irene's smile couldn't be erased. She had already overcome the depression she had been suffering from. The more she rejoiced, the more pained Grid became. He felt sorry that he made her so lonely.
'I want to take her to Reidan.'
It was his original desire. But unfortunately, Irene couldn't leave Winston.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
Their love deepened in proportion to the amount of time they missed each other. The two people felt like this time was more precious than ever as they hugged each other.
“I'm happy about this system."
The parenting system. There was a child in Irene's belly. Grid pressed his face to Irene's swollen belly.
Duguen. Duguen.
The sound of the fetus' heartbeat reached his ears. It was a small but energetic sound.
Grid felt the infinite mysteries.
'My child…'
He would be a father. He felt fear since it was his first experience, but his happiness was greater. It felt like he had left his trace in this world. Words couldn't describe the sense of fulfillment.
'I was lonely until last year and never thought this day would come.'
Money, colleagues, friends. A woman he loved and now a home. Grid had obtained all these things from Satisfy. Satisfy wasn't just a game, but a world that was as precious as reality. Irene's small hand grabbed Grid's big and rough hands. She felt a desire that she expressed.
"I want our child to be a boy with nice hands like yours. Do you want that as well?"
The Eternal Kingdom's treatment of women wasn't as bad as the south. Compared with other kingdoms, the social status of women was very high. But it was an undeniable reality that most nobles wanted a male heir.
For Irene, she was Marquis Steim's only daughter, so she was well aware of this. Marquis Steim had actually wanted a son. Irene wanted to have a son, but she couldn't help feeling a little bitter from her position as a woman.
Grid's high insight read her mind and he answered quickly. "I'd like a daughter."
“Isn't a daughter lacking in many ways to be the heir?"
"No, such things don't matter. I just want a daughter who is as beautiful and kind as you."
Love wasn't a skill. Grid were merely telling the truth. Irene was thrilled by his unexpected answer. Her eyes filled with tears and she blushed.
"Dear husband is so good."
“…"
The moist eyes and flushed cheeks were adorable. This stimulus caused Grid to gulp. Irene could see what he wanted.
"I love you. It is hard with the child in my belly but…"
"Eh… H-Huh?"
Irene was still a girl. She had a purity that made it seem like she hadn't known a man yet. Therefore, Grid was embarrassed by the meaningful remark she made that didn't match her appearance.
“Now, let's go."
"W-Wait a minute."
"There is no need for time."
Irene led Grid to her bedroom. After that. The two people shared their love in a different way due to Irene's pregnancy, and the result was good.
[The child in the belly has felt the couple's true love.]
[All stats of the child in the belly will permanently increase by one.]
***
A whisper came from Lauel.
After 10 days, he intended to hold a merger ceremony with the Silver Knights Guild.
"I guess I have to leave."
Grid had spent three happy days with Irene. He wanted to stay near Irene, but he couldn't enjoy it forever. He knew the responsibility as the Overgeared master had to be fulfilled.
'If I have my kingdom, I won't see anyone else and will place you as my queen.'
This was one more reason to become king. Phoenix approached Grid as he prepared to leave. "Duke Grid, can't you take Lady Irene with you?"
“Take Irene to Reidan?"
"Yes, My Lord. That is Marquis Steim's wish."
She would give birth in 4 months. Marquis Steim didn't want her to be lonely in the meantime. It was the same with Grid, but wasn't Irene ruler of Winston?
“Can she leave this place?"
“Marquis Steim has sent a substitute."
“That is good."
Grid smiled widely. Phoenix was in tears as he saw Grid's delight.
'My Lady, you are truly loved.'
"Hold on tightly to me."
Grid hugged Irene and flew with Braham's Boots. The sight of the two people in the clouds was reminiscent of a scene in a romantic movie.
“It is too mysterious and exciting. It's like a fairy tale world."
"I think every moment with you is a fairy tale."
“Dear husband…"
[The child in the belly has felt the couple's true love.]
[All stats of the child in the belly will permanently increase by one.]
[The child in the belly has witnessed the marvels of nature.]
[The child in the belly is curious.]
[The intelligence of child in the belly will permanently increase by two.]
“My mana is low. Let’s walk for a while."
“Huhut, I remember walking through the forest with you on the day we met."
In the past, Grid had rescued Irene from Malacus and they headed through the forest. He recalled that time. Grid wrapped an arm around Irene's slender shoulders.
"Danger won't come to you again. I will protect you."
“Dear husband…"
[The child in the belly has felt the couple's true love.]
[All stats of the child in the belly will permanently increase by one.]
The couple's liking grew exponentially during the journey to Reidan and had a good effect on the child. Monsters and thieves appeared occasionally to threaten the couple, but they were just experience to Grid.
[The child in the belly has witnessed his father's sword dance and admires it.]
[The child in the belly is interested in swordsmanship.]
[The strength of child in the belly will permanently increase by one.]
[The child in the belly has witnessed his father's weapon repairing and admires it.]
[The child in the belly is interested in blacksmithing.]
[The dexterity of child in the belly will permanently increase by one.]
Every so often, these notification windows would pop up in front of Grid.
‘This is like a joke.'
Level 1 characters had a total of 22 stat points.. On the other hand, it seemed like the baby would have at least 50 stat points from the moment they were born.
‘Well, the important thing is the maximum limit of the stats.'
Grid didn't expect much from the stats of his child. It was because NPCs had a limit on their stats, except for named NPCs. He just hoped for a nice and pretty child who resembled Irene. That's right. He was forgetting. It was the fact that his child was a special person who inherited the blood of the legendary Grid and Marquis Steim of the Eternal Kingdom.
***
Guild Name: Overgeared
Level: 10 (MAX)
Master: Grid
Capacity: 28/250
Affiliation: The Eternal Kingdom
Alliances: Marquis Steim
Hostile Relationships: There are no forces that can be called clear enemies, but there are many who are on guard.
Inclination: An unconditionally favorable relationship with Marquis Steim.
Territory: Reidan.
Originally, raising the level of a guild was very tough. It took the top guilds at least a year to reach level 10. But Overgeared was a special case. Due to the huge rewards from the golem invasion, they were able to achieve level 10 in just 7 months. But Grid wasn't satisfied.
“Why is there only 250 guild members? This guild system is completely bad."
The Silver Knights Guild had a total of exactly 225 members. The conditions of the merger included all of them, so Grid was puzzled.
Lauel explained. “You can make another guild."
“One person can make multiple guilds?"
"No. Someone in Overgeared should create a new guild and assign that guild to Overgeared. In other words, it is a second guild."
“Ah, this is how the guilds with more than 250 members operate?"
“Yes…”
Lauel's eyes became weary. Grid didn't even know this basic system.
“Yes, well. Create a new guild."
“I’m still lacking." Lauel pointed to Jishuka. "Jishuka was the master of the Tzedakah Guild, which is like the mother of Overgeared. She can lead a second guild well."
"Yes, yes."
Grid had absolute trust in Lauel. He believed he would succeed if he followed Lauel's advice. However, Jishuka refused to become the master of the second guild. She already had enough responsibility as ruler of Bairan.
Lauel reassured her. “Over the past six months, the Overgeared members have been learning how to manage a territory. There are many people who can handle Bairan on your behalf, so don't worry."
"Then it's okay."
The Overgeared members gathered together and Jishuka formed a new guild.
"What will the guild name be?"
It was up to the guild master to pick a name. Jishuka and the Overgeared members focused on Grid. Grid thought about it.
"Overgeared Two."
"Ah, really!"
Lauel cried out angrily, but the Overgeared members didn't show any signs of rejection. They had already adapted to Grid's naming sense. On the other hand, Lauel was desperate.
"The second and third guilds are usually named according to their role! The second guild will be filled with secondary classes, so you should name it according to its characteristics!"
"Workforce?"
"Sigh."
In the end, it was determined that the second guild would be called Overgeared Two.
***
The day of the guild merger.
The 225 members of the Silver Knights Guild, including Peak Sword, arrived in Reidan. Thanks to the power of the 15th ranked Peak Sword, the monsters in the desert couldn't stop them.
"Amazing."
The Silver Knights Guild were overwhelmed by Reidan. Reidan's development was increasing by leaps and bounds. It was a big city with all types of buildings, and the soldiers were well armed. In particular, the alchemy facilities and agricultural fields couldn't be compared to other cities.
This was the power of the 20 million gold that Grid invested.
"Welcome to Reidan."
A black haired man appeared among the soldiers. It was Grid. There were almost 30 members of Overgeared following him, all of whom were rankers or famous. Peak Sword and the Silver Knights Guild trembled at the thought that they would soon be one group.
"Master, I look forward to working with you."
Peak Sword knew how to distinguish between public and private. He might be older than Grid in reality, but he knew his status was far below Grid's in Satisfy. This attitude would help establish the discipline in the newly expanded Overgeared Guild.
"I am as well."
It was the moment when the man who was ignored by the neighborhood children was reborn as the leader of a huge guild. If a documentary was made of Grid, this would be a featured scene.
Was this the life that Grid would walk from now on? No, it still wasn't smooth. Right now, the minerals detector Minor was hurriedly heading towards him.
OG:
Current schedule: 20 chapters a week.
Chapter 286
The announcement of the merger between the Silver Knights Guild and Overgeared was an issue that would cover a whole page of newspapers in various countries. But the merger ceremony was small. Not one reporter was invited. There was no reason to help other forces by publicizing the growth of Overgeared.
It wasn't yet time.
"Puhahahat!"
"Kukuku!"
A banquet was held after the merger. It was intended to promote unity with the existing members of Overgeared and the new members from the Silver Knights Guild. The atmosphere was good.
"Vantner! It's an honor to be your colleague! I have admired you for a long time! You are the reason why I became a strength type guardian knight!"
“Oh, you're completely ruined. You're still level 180, so I recommend you delete your character and raise a new one. Or else you will have to live with this bad build for the rest of your life."
“…"
“Faker, I heard about how you smashed one of the seven guilds, the Ice Flower Guild, alone, and I trembled. How should I develop my stats and skills to be a great assassin like you?"
“…"
"Mister? Mister Faker? Why aren't you saying anything? Mister?"
“…"
"Regas! I heard that you really like Taekwondo and South Korea? The South Koreans thank you! Then have you tried kimchi? Huh? Do you know kimchi?"
“…"
Both guilds were a bit unconventional. It seemed like more time was needed to become closer. Grid was busy observing the faces of the guild members.
'Do you know kimchi…? That person is similar to Peak Sword. The Korean Patriotic Association? Huh, that person looks fairly young, but he's quite reticent? I should watch closely because I'm a blacksmith.'
The 225 new colleagues were future friends and family members. Grid made an effort to remember their IDs, faces and features. Of course, it wasn’t that easy. How easy was it to remember 225 names and faces?
'Ouch, my head hurts.'
In the end, Grid's brain was overloaded less than an hour later. In the past, his brain would've been paralyzed in five minutes, so this was a great improvement. Jishuka, Lauel and Peak Sword were engaged in a conversation next to Grid.
“The average level of the Silver Knights Guild is 220? At this level, they can't exert any strength against the desert monsters, so it is urgent to raise their level. Let's have the Overgeared members take turns to help them."
"No. Improving the working environment of the yellow mithril mine is the top priority. The low level members should be sent to Cork Island and Bairan to make them grow, while the higher levelled guild members should devote their efforts to fighting monsters near the mine."
"Then wouldn't the low level guild members fall too far behind?"
"No. For the lower levels, the environment of Bairan and Cork Island is much better than Reidan for hunting. In the first place, I have negative feelings towards power levelling. What will happen when they borrow the power of others to level up? It's obvious that they will be unable to exert the appropriate skills for their level.”
"That's right. I was too short-sighted.”
“The key is who we should appoint to Bairan and Cork Island? A good lord will develop both the territory and the low level guild members well. It might be better for Peak Sword to be kept as the lord of Cork Island. How about it? Peak Sword."
"That isn't possible. Grid told me to go and mine."
"Yes?"
Peak Sword was a swordsman. He was ranked 15th on the unified rankings, and it was evaluated that he should be on the same level as Pon and Regas. He was someone who could compete with the top rankers. That type of person was being used as a miner?
'What is Grid thinking? Is there a story I don't know?'
As Lauel was feeling confused, a boy rushed into the banquet hall. It was the minerals detector, Minor. The boy ran over to where Grid was sitting.
"Pant pant… Hey, Duke. Shouldn't you move quickly to obtain the pavranium?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Did something happen?"
"The pavranium sealed in the vampire cities are beginning to be eroded by a strange energy."
Minor was arrogant and had no loyalty to Grid. But he was surprisingly faithful to his duties. Today he had gone to look at the state of the pavranium.
"Strange energy?"
What was he talking about? A quest window appeared in front of the frowning Grid.
[A new quest has been created!]
[Vampire City!]
Difficulty: ?
An incident has happened in the vampire cities that is the center of chaos.
The enormous power has spread its presence throughout the 15 vampire cities, blessing the vampires while harming the pavranium.
If you can't secure the pavranium quickly, this presence will erode and alter the pavranium, making it lose its extraordinary function and turning it into an ordinary mineral.
Head to the vampire cities right now to secure the pavranium.
* Every vampire city has one piece of pavranium sealed inside it.
* Obtain as much pavranium as possible within 90 days.
* The pavranium that can't be secured within 90 days will be permanently destroyed.
* It is highly likely for there to be hidden quests linked along the way.
'The degree of difficulty is a question mark ‘?'' A question mark! In Satisfy, this often referred to matters that were 'impossible to measure.' This meant that the difficulty of this quest was likely to be the highest difficulty that exceeded the SS-grade.
'This is bad.'
A chill went down Grid's spine. He knew about the vampire cities thanks to Lauel. In order to clear one city, wasn't at least 10 third advancement classes required?
'The estimated time to clear one city is 10 days.'
It was huge enough that it couldn't be compared with normal dungeons, and the level of the monsters was also high. In any case, this was the conclusion.
'Isn't this a quest that is impossible to clear by myself?'
No, what was this dirty thing! Pavranium could be considered the inherent weapon of Pagma's Descendant and was limited to exactly 28 pieces. He couldn't help cursing at the possibility of losing 15 of them.
"Ahh… Dammit, really. Things were going too well."
He once again realized there was nothing free in this world. Jishuka and Lauel became worried after seeing hearing sigh.
"What is it Grid? What type of quest did you get?"
"Can you share the quest?"
After a moment. Jishuka and Lauel frowned after confirming the contents of the quest.
"Isn't this a quest that can't be cleared?"
Pon and Regas had failed to clear even one vampire city. This was despite the fact that they invested one whole month. Grid had to clear 15 cities in 90 days alone? It was impossible.
“But it's a quest that must be cleared. Losing the pavranium is like weakening Grid. It can't happen."
"How about the guild members help you out?"
“That would be good. However, our guild now has to manage three territories. The number of people who can support Grid is around 10."
Euphemina wasn't at the merger ceremony because she was on a separate mission. Ruby and Sexy Schoolgirl weren't even level 120 yet, so they were out of the question.
"10 of them… Even if it isn't 15, we can at least obtain 9 pieces of pavranium."
“Yes, it is possible.”
Grid's face wasn't good as he looked at the two people discussing the matter.
"Stop it. I don't want to bother the guild members because of my personal quest."
It was the right mindset. A guild master using members for individual quests was harmful behavior that should be avoided. Lauel smiled at him and explained, "A lot of experience can be gained from the vampire cities, as well as a low probability of obtaining elixirs. The guild members can develop by helping you with your quest."
"But…"
Suddenly, a group of Overgeared members gathered near the hesitant Grid.
“I haven't been hunting in a long time."
“Let's gain some levels."
The Overgeared members were hoping to become the strongest rankers. They didn't want to miss an opportunity to raise their level at the best hunting grounds. In particular, Vantner was extremely active.
"I need some stamina elixirs. Please take me with you."
“…"
Whatever their reasons, they were still trying to help him. It was different compared to the days when Grid couldn't depend on anyone, so he couldn't help forming some happy tears. A wide smile spread on Grid's face.
“Thank you. The next time you come to Korea, I will buy you kanjajang."
The golem invasion of Reinhardt. Grid had rejected going to the king's banquet because he wanted to eat kanjajang. Through this remark, he convinced the Overgeared members.
'Kanjajang… It must be an incredibly precious food.'
'Is it the food for the Korean royalty?'
How expensive was it? As the Overgeared members were engrossed in this vain delusion, Peak Sword watched quietly and mourned.
"I like jjampong." (Jjampong=like a spicy seafood noodle soup. It is common in Korea to ask if you like jajangmyeon or jjampong more)
Now that they were colleagues, Peak Sword was thinking about helping Grid.
***
The expedition was organized.
Grid, Jishuka, Pon, Regas, Peak Sword and Faker were the damage dealers, while Vantner was the tanker. Huroi came to buff while Zednos was the support in the rear. They had 90 days to clear 15 dungeons, so the combination was important.
It was a combination aimed at quickly reaching the boss by piercing through the mobs. Lauel couldn't leave as temporary lord, so he wasn't part of this expedition. Before the expedition departed, Lauel warned them again.
“As you all know, the balance of the cooperation is important. There is a probability of surprise attacks, so always keep an eye on your surroundings.
“I understand, I understand. Are you our mother? How many times do you have to repeat the same thing?"
Vantner whined, but Lauel continued speaking without paying attention to him.
"Considering that the entrance if blocked and communication cut off once you enter the city, there is a 99% chance that summoning your knights won't work. Please don't face a desperate situation."
He wouldn't be so uneasy if Piaro and Asmophel were included in this expedition. But unlike users, NPCs had only one life. They couldn't be risked. Grid laughed at the worried Lauel.
"I'm going."
Grid pledged to complete Lifael's Spear through this expedition.
'If I can reclaim all 15 pieces of pavranium, I can make a Lifael's Spear that is purely composed of pavranium.'
It was a weapon that could easily overcome Failure. His heart was already thumping as he imagined the weapon flying around alone and helping him out.
"Let’s depart.”
The strongest party in Satisfy's history, led by Grid, embarked on their journey. There was a person following them.
OG:
Current schedule: 20 chapters a week.
Chapter 287
There was a mysterious person following Grid's party. He had long arms, thick lips, and impressive skin that was as black as charcoal. His name was Kasim. The last descendant of the Nero people destroyed by the Saharan Empire, and the ultimate assassin with the title of 'King of Shadows.'
"Hrmm."
Kasim had observed Grid from before he became a duke. He always maintained a distance of 5m from Grid. Recently, he had to increase the distance to 7m thanks to the skills of the young assassin called Faker, but it wasn't a huge hindrance. There was still a large difference between Kasim and Faker's skills.
"Vampire city…"
Kasim found out the destination of Grid's party.
Vampires. A branch of the demonkin, they lived in the human world rather than in hell. Their strength was overwhelming. It was natural since they were designed to hunt humans. Entering their lair was an act of suicide.
‘In particular, the problem is the True Blood clan. Duke Grid can deal with a viscount but…'
He wasn't a match for earls yet. Kasim was sure of this because he had a firm grasp of Grid and the Overgeared members' power.
‘If they meet an earl, they will all be wiped out.'
Should he stop it? No, that wasn't necessary. Based on Kasim's observations, Grid and his companions were all immortal cursed existences(users). The cost of death for them wasn't big.
'Sometimes defeat is a good medicine.'
Wasn't that right? Doran. They had fought thousands of times and a defeat in one spar didn't always mean victory in the next.
"…I miss you."
Doran. A friend who grew up together under the same mentor. Why did Grid have the ring Doran inherited from their mentor? Kasim questioned. He was following Grid to figure out why. It didn't take long to figure out why. All his questions were answered after finding out that Grid was Irene's husband.
Nevertheless, the reason he stayed with Grid was because he saw the possibility of Grid growing to rival the Saharan Empire. The Saharan Empire! They persecuted the innocent minorities and wiped them out if they refused to submit.
Kasim had a huge grudge against the empire. He wanted to watch Grid one day destroy the empire.
Suruk.
Kasim disappeared. He would stay by Irene's side until Grid came back. Nothing should grab Grid's ankle while he was growing. Kasim planned to thoroughly protect Irene, who Grid loved.
Piaro was working in the fields, Asmophel training soldiers, and Kasim was hiding in the city. Now Reidan was much safer than when Kraugel had been here. It was an impregnable fortress unless a dragon or great demon attacked.
Administrator Rabbit could develop the city with confidence.
'In a few months, we can finally escape from a the deficit. I have to slowly raise the labor costs to increase the efficiency of the workers. Is it enough if I raise it by 0.1%?'
Grid was unaware of this, but there were many positive people around him. All of this was created by Grid's changes and growth, so he should be proud.
***
[The giant worm has been destroyed.]
[2,330,900 experience has been acquired.]
[The desert toad has been destroyed.]
[2,607,400 experience has been acquired.]
'It is great.'
They headed to the vampire cities. Grid's group slayed desert creatures as they moved forward. Peak Sword marvelled from among them.
'These monsters give too much experience. I can't adapt.'
The desert monsters gave at least 20% more experience than the monsters on the top floor of Cork Dungeon. However, it didn't take long to hunt them. This was absurd. It was the reason why the Overgeared members monopolized the top rankings after Grid was appointed as lord of Reidan.
'The vampires will give a lot more experience than the desert monsters. Maybe I might achieve level 307 in this expedition.'
Peak Sword didn't think that entering the top 10 was a dream. On the other hand, Grid was full of complaints.
‘The experience is too low.'
Most users raised their levels by hunting or quests, but Grid was a special case who raised it through raids. So it was natural for him to complain.
Considering that the knights and elders of the Rebecca Church gave tens of millions of experience, and Pascal gave 700 million experience, the two million of the desert monsters was terrible.
'When can I reach level 300?'
Pagma's Descendant didn't have the concept of second or third class advancements. But at level 300, his stats went through the third awakening like any other user. Since Grid had unusually high stats, he would be dramatically strengthened the moment he reached level 300.
He dreamed of that day, but Grid was currently only level 296. His experience gauge wasn't even half full yet. He was sighing when he suddenly recalled the Reputation Store. He broke through 30,000 reputation after obtaining the 'Sealed Ability' hidden piece and was able to use the Reputation Store.
He had looked at it the other day.
‘There is a potion that gives an experience buff.' What if he took that potion after entering a vampire city? 'I can level up!'
Grid opened the Reputation Store.
"Reputation Store!"
Ttiring~
[This is a special service for the best in Satisfy!]
Immediately after this phrase, a golden carriage only visible to Grids eyes fell from the sky. It was very similar to the golden carriage that occasionally came to front line troops that had no PX (Post exchange).
Grid was convinced that the inventor of this system was someone who served in the military.
[Introducing the luxurious goods to our guest!]
[Sweet Candy]
A little candy bar!
A candy with natural sweetness is the best!
There are no chemicals added!
Effects: When the sweet candy is in your mouth, all stats will rise by 30% for 5 minutes.
* This item can only be purchased five times per account.
Price: 20,000 reputation.
It started with the limited-edition products that offered the best performance to…
[Good-looking Sunglasses]
The large frame is the highlight of the square sunglasses!
It is big enough to cover half the face, so it will help someone ugly look handsome!
Effect: Look handsome.
* The charm stat isn't created or increased. It is a simple accessory with no special function other than a visual effect.
Price: 5,000 reputation.
…Items that had no practical use.
The golden carriage. No, the Reputation Store had around 30 products displayed. There were event-limited products that were occasionally released. In any case, Grid only needed one item right now.
'Where is the experience potion? Ah, found it!'
Grid's gaze fixed on a specific produce.
[Draw! Draw! Draw everything!]
A random drawing machine.
At the price of 999 reputation, you can get a variety of items randomly.
* Limited edition items aren't included.
* There is a certain chance of gaining an experience buff potion.
Price: 999 reputation.
‘This is great!’
Satisfy didn't have a maximum level, so experience buffs could exponentially increase the gap between users. The experience buff potions common in ordinary games couldn't be found in Satisfy.
But the Reputation Store was a special place. Only a few users could gather such great achievements, so it needed to be attractive to them. That attraction was the experience buff potion.
Grid went over there in a flash.
'The cost is cheap. Why is it 999 reputation instead of 1,000?'
There were many 20,000 products in the world valued at 29,990 won. This was a marketing technique to deceive people.
'It is an opportunity to get a buff potion for a low price!'
999 reputation. Considering that he got 150 reputation when making a unique item and 500 reputation from a legendary item, it wasn't a cheap price. However, Grid judged that it was worthwhile to try and used 999 reputation on the drawing machine.
[Draw! Draw! You have drawn a product.]
Chwaruruk!
The goods in the machine started spinning. Then after a while.
Rattle!
An item popped out.
[Congratulations! Pretty Hairpin has been acquired!]
[Pretty Hairpin]
A colourful and pretty hairpin.
If you gift it to a woman, she will be delighted.
Weight: 0.1
"…?"
It was the result of losing his mind at the thought of a experience buff potion. Grid temporarily forgot about the odds of a game like this.
“Dammit!”
The blue hairpin was really pretty. It would surely have a great effect with Irene's silver hair. However, it wasn't worth wasting 999 reputation on. Grid cursed and tried to throw the hairpin away, but eventually put it in his inventory. It would be a gift for Irene.
He pictured Irene and his anger calmed.
“Yes, it is hard for things to happen the first time."
The second time. He would try a second draw. Grid bought another spin.
[Congratulations! You have acquired the world's most delicious skewer.]
[World's Most Delicious Skewer]
It is a skewer of a hell dog's hind legs aged for 100 days, then roasted with a secret sauce.
It is the supreme taste that gourmet raiders enjoy.
“It’s just dog meat!”
[This! You have failed! Unfortunately, please look for the next opportunity.]
"There is even a failure?"
Prior to the release of virtual reality games. Grid hadn't experienced the mobile games that most people in the world played. He only played MMORPGs that he could enjoy on his PC. He didn't know the fear of drawing games, and was confused.
"Dammit! Bullshit!"
Grid's anger aimed at innocent creatures. On the way to the vampire city, Grid killed more monsters than anyone else. Even Pon and Regas were surprised at his speedy hunting.
"Grid is really motivated."
"He is in a high position, so he feels a strong sense of responsibility."
"Grid has matured even more after the guild merger. Truly wonderful."
Bias was scary. Filled with misunderstandings, Grid's party finally arrived at a vampire city.
OG:
Current schedule: 20 chapters a week.
Chapter 285
A pleasant breeze blew over the grass. A young couple was sitting next to each other under a big tree.
Grid and Irene.
“Dear husband. Heheh."
There seemed to be hearts around them. Irene was reunited with Grid after six months, so she was the happiest person in the world.
"This moment seems so unreal. I don't want this dream to end."
Irene's smile couldn't be erased. She had already overcome the depression she had been suffering from. The more she rejoiced, the more pained Grid became. He felt sorry that he made her so lonely.
'I want to take her to Reidan.'
It was his original desire. But unfortunately, Irene couldn't leave Winston.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
Their love deepened in proportion to the amount of time they missed each other. The two people felt like this time was more precious than ever as they hugged each other.
“I'm happy about this system."
The parenting system. There was a child in Irene's belly. Grid pressed his face to Irene's swollen belly.
Duguen. Duguen.
The sound of the fetus' heartbeat reached his ears. It was a small but energetic sound.
Grid felt the infinite mysteries.
'My child…'
He would be a father. He felt fear since it was his first experience, but his happiness was greater. It felt like he had left his trace in this world. Words couldn't describe the sense of fulfillment.
'I was lonely until last year and never thought this day would come.'
Money, colleagues, friends. A woman he loved and now a home. Grid had obtained all these things from Satisfy. Satisfy wasn't just a game, but a world that was as precious as reality. Irene's small hand grabbed Grid's big and rough hands. She felt a desire that she expressed.
"I want our child to be a boy with nice hands like yours. Do you want that as well?"
The Eternal Kingdom's treatment of women wasn't as bad as the south. Compared with other kingdoms, the social status of women was very high. But it was an undeniable reality that most nobles wanted a male heir.
For Irene, she was Marquis Steim's only daughter, so she was well aware of this. Marquis Steim had actually wanted a son. Irene wanted to have a son, but she couldn't help feeling a little bitter from her position as a woman.
Grid's high insight read her mind and he answered quickly. "I'd like a daughter."
“Isn't a daughter lacking in many ways to be the heir?"
"No, such things don't matter. I just want a daughter who is as beautiful and kind as you."
Love wasn't a skill. Grid were merely telling the truth. Irene was thrilled by his unexpected answer. Her eyes filled with tears and she blushed.
"Dear husband is so good."
“…"
The moist eyes and flushed cheeks were adorable. This stimulus caused Grid to gulp. Irene could see what he wanted.
"I love you. It is hard with the child in my belly but…"
"Eh… H-Huh?"
Irene was still a girl. She had a purity that made it seem like she hadn't known a man yet. Therefore, Grid was embarrassed by the meaningful remark she made that didn't match her appearance.
“Now, let's go."
"W-Wait a minute."
"There is no need for time."
Irene led Grid to her bedroom. After that. The two people shared their love in a different way due to Irene's pregnancy, and the result was good.
[The child in the belly has felt the couple's true love.]
[All stats of the child in the belly will permanently increase by one.]
***
A whisper came from Lauel.
After 10 days, he intended to hold a merger ceremony with the Silver Knights Guild.
"I guess I have to leave."
Grid had spent three happy days with Irene. He wanted to stay near Irene, but he couldn't enjoy it forever. He knew the responsibility as the Overgeared master had to be fulfilled.
'If I have my kingdom, I won't see anyone else and will place you as my queen.'
This was one more reason to become king. Phoenix approached Grid as he prepared to leave. "Duke Grid, can't you take Lady Irene with you?"
“Take Irene to Reidan?"
"Yes, My Lord. That is Marquis Steim's wish."
She would give birth in 4 months. Marquis Steim didn't want her to be lonely in the meantime. It was the same with Grid, but wasn't Irene ruler of Winston?
“Can she leave this place?"
“Marquis Steim has sent a substitute."
“That is good."
Grid smiled widely. Phoenix was in tears as he saw Grid's delight.
'My Lady, you are truly loved.'
"Hold on tightly to me."
Grid hugged Irene and flew with Braham's Boots. The sight of the two people in the clouds was reminiscent of a scene in a romantic movie.
“It is too mysterious and exciting. It's like a fairy tale world."
"I think every moment with you is a fairy tale."
“Dear husband…"
[The child in the belly has felt the couple's true love.]
[All stats of the child in the belly will permanently increase by one.]
[The child in the belly has witnessed the marvels of nature.]
[The child in the belly is curious.]
[The intelligence of child in the belly will permanently increase by two.]
“My mana is low. Let’s walk for a while."
“Huhut, I remember walking through the forest with you on the day we met."
In the past, Grid had rescued Irene from Malacus and they headed through the forest. He recalled that time. Grid wrapped an arm around Irene's slender shoulders.
"Danger won't come to you again. I will protect you."
“Dear husband…"
[The child in the belly has felt the couple's true love.]
[All stats of the child in the belly will permanently increase by one.]
The couple's liking grew exponentially during the journey to Reidan and had a good effect on the child. Monsters and thieves appeared occasionally to threaten the couple, but they were just experience to Grid.
[The child in the belly has witnessed his father's sword dance and admires it.]
[The child in the belly is interested in swordsmanship.]
[The strength of child in the belly will permanently increase by one.]
[The child in the belly has witnessed his father's weapon repairing and admires it.]
[The child in the belly is interested in blacksmithing.]
[The dexterity of child in the belly will permanently increase by one.]
Every so often, these notification windows would pop up in front of Grid.
‘This is like a joke.'
Level 1 characters had a total of 22 stat points.. On the other hand, it seemed like the baby would have at least 50 stat points from the moment they were born.
‘Well, the important thing is the maximum limit of the stats.'
Grid didn't expect much from the stats of his child. It was because NPCs had a limit on their stats, except for named NPCs. He just hoped for a nice and pretty child who resembled Irene. That's right. He was forgetting. It was the fact that his child was a special person who inherited the blood of the legendary Grid and Marquis Steim of the Eternal Kingdom.
***
Guild Name: Overgeared
Level: 10 (MAX)
Master: Grid
Capacity: 28/250
Affiliation: The Eternal Kingdom
Alliances: Marquis Steim
Hostile Relationships: There are no forces that can be called clear enemies, but there are many who are on guard.
Inclination: An unconditionally favorable relationship with Marquis Steim.
Territory: Reidan.
Originally, raising the level of a guild was very tough. It took the top guilds at least a year to reach level 10. But Overgeared was a special case. Due to the huge rewards from the golem invasion, they were able to achieve level 10 in just 7 months. But Grid wasn't satisfied.
“Why is there only 250 guild members? This guild system is completely bad."
The Silver Knights Guild had a total of exactly 225 members. The conditions of the merger included all of them, so Grid was puzzled.
Lauel explained. “You can make another guild."
“One person can make multiple guilds?"
"No. Someone in Overgeared should create a new guild and assign that guild to Overgeared. In other words, it is a second guild."
“Ah, this is how the guilds with more than 250 members operate?"
“Yes…”
Lauel's eyes became weary. Grid didn't even know this basic system.
“Yes, well. Create a new guild."
“I’m still lacking." Lauel pointed to Jishuka. "Jishuka was the master of the Tzedakah Guild, which is like the mother of Overgeared. She can lead a second guild well."
"Yes, yes."
Grid had absolute trust in Lauel. He believed he would succeed if he followed Lauel's advice. However, Jishuka refused to become the master of the second guild. She already had enough responsibility as ruler of Bairan.
Lauel reassured her. “Over the past six months, the Overgeared members have been learning how to manage a territory. There are many people who can handle Bairan on your behalf, so don't worry."
"Then it's okay."
The Overgeared members gathered together and Jishuka formed a new guild.
"What will the guild name be?"
It was up to the guild master to pick a name. Jishuka and the Overgeared members focused on Grid. Grid thought about it.
"Overgeared Two."
"Ah, really!"
Lauel cried out angrily, but the Overgeared members didn't show any signs of rejection. They had already adapted to Grid's naming sense. On the other hand, Lauel was desperate.
"The second and third guilds are usually named according to their role! The second guild will be filled with secondary classes, so you should name it according to its characteristics!"
"Workforce?"
"Sigh."
In the end, it was determined that the second guild would be called Overgeared Two.
***
The day of the guild merger.
The 225 members of the Silver Knights Guild, including Peak Sword, arrived in Reidan. Thanks to the power of the 15th ranked Peak Sword, the monsters in the desert couldn't stop them.
"Amazing."
The Silver Knights Guild were overwhelmed by Reidan. Reidan's development was increasing by leaps and bounds. It was a big city with all types of buildings, and the soldiers were well armed. In particular, the alchemy facilities and agricultural fields couldn't be compared to other cities.
This was the power of the 20 million gold that Grid invested.
"Welcome to Reidan."
A black haired man appeared among the soldiers. It was Grid. There were almost 30 members of Overgeared following him, all of whom were rankers or famous. Peak Sword and the Silver Knights Guild trembled at the thought that they would soon be one group.
"Master, I look forward to working with you."
Peak Sword knew how to distinguish between public and private. He might be older than Grid in reality, but he knew his status was far below Grid's in Satisfy. This attitude would help establish the discipline in the newly expanded Overgeared Guild.
"I am as well."
It was the moment when the man who was ignored by the neighborhood children was reborn as the leader of a huge guild. If a documentary was made of Grid, this would be a featured scene.
Was this the life that Grid would walk from now on? No, it still wasn't smooth. Right now, the minerals detector Minor was hurriedly heading towards him.
OG:
Current schedule: 20 chapters a week.
Chapter 286
The announcement of the merger between the Silver Knights Guild and Overgeared was an issue that would cover a whole page of newspapers in various countries. But the merger ceremony was small. Not one reporter was invited. There was no reason to help other forces by publicizing the growth of Overgeared.
It wasn't yet time.
"Puhahahat!"
"Kukuku!"
A banquet was held after the merger. It was intended to promote unity with the existing members of Overgeared and the new members from the Silver Knights Guild. The atmosphere was good.
"Vantner! It's an honor to be your colleague! I have admired you for a long time! You are the reason why I became a strength type guardian knight!"
“Oh, you're completely ruined. You're still level 180, so I recommend you delete your character and raise a new one. Or else you will have to live with this bad build for the rest of your life."
“…"
“Faker, I heard about how you smashed one of the seven guilds, the Ice Flower Guild, alone, and I trembled. How should I develop my stats and skills to be a great assassin like you?"
“…"
"Mister? Mister Faker? Why aren't you saying anything? Mister?"
“…"
"Regas! I heard that you really like Taekwondo and South Korea? The South Koreans thank you! Then have you tried kimchi? Huh? Do you know kimchi?"
“…"
Both guilds were a bit unconventional. It seemed like more time was needed to become closer. Grid was busy observing the faces of the guild members.
'Do you know kimchi…? That person is similar to Peak Sword. The Korean Patriotic Association? Huh, that person looks fairly young, but he's quite reticent? I should watch closely because I'm a blacksmith.'
The 225 new colleagues were future friends and family members. Grid made an effort to remember their IDs, faces and features. Of course, it wasn’t that easy. How easy was it to remember 225 names and faces?
'Ouch, my head hurts.'
In the end, Grid's brain was overloaded less than an hour later. In the past, his brain would've been paralyzed in five minutes, so this was a great improvement. Jishuka, Lauel and Peak Sword were engaged in a conversation next to Grid.
“The average level of the Silver Knights Guild is 220? At this level, they can't exert any strength against the desert monsters, so it is urgent to raise their level. Let's have the Overgeared members take turns to help them."
"No. Improving the working environment of the yellow mithril mine is the top priority. The low level members should be sent to Cork Island and Bairan to make them grow, while the higher levelled guild members should devote their efforts to fighting monsters near the mine."
"Then wouldn't the low level guild members fall too far behind?"
"No. For the lower levels, the environment of Bairan and Cork Island is much better than Reidan for hunting. In the first place, I have negative feelings towards power levelling. What will happen when they borrow the power of others to level up? It's obvious that they will be unable to exert the appropriate skills for their level.”
"That's right. I was too short-sighted.”
“The key is who we should appoint to Bairan and Cork Island? A good lord will develop both the territory and the low level guild members well. It might be better for Peak Sword to be kept as the lord of Cork Island. How about it? Peak Sword."
"That isn't possible. Grid told me to go and mine."
"Yes?"
Peak Sword was a swordsman. He was ranked 15th on the unified rankings, and it was evaluated that he should be on the same level as Pon and Regas. He was someone who could compete with the top rankers. That type of person was being used as a miner?
'What is Grid thinking? Is there a story I don't know?'
As Lauel was feeling confused, a boy rushed into the banquet hall. It was the minerals detector, Minor. The boy ran over to where Grid was sitting.
"Pant pant… Hey, Duke. Shouldn't you move quickly to obtain the pavranium?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Did something happen?"
"The pavranium sealed in the vampire cities are beginning to be eroded by a strange energy."
Minor was arrogant and had no loyalty to Grid. But he was surprisingly faithful to his duties. Today he had gone to look at the state of the pavranium.
"Strange energy?"
What was he talking about? A quest window appeared in front of the frowning Grid.
[A new quest has been created!]
[Vampire City!]
Difficulty: ?
An incident has happened in the vampire cities that is the center of chaos.
The enormous power has spread its presence throughout the 15 vampire cities, blessing the vampires while harming the pavranium.
If you can't secure the pavranium quickly, this presence will erode and alter the pavranium, making it lose its extraordinary function and turning it into an ordinary mineral.
Head to the vampire cities right now to secure the pavranium.
* Every vampire city has one piece of pavranium sealed inside it.
* Obtain as much pavranium as possible within 90 days.
* The pavranium that can't be secured within 90 days will be permanently destroyed.
* It is highly likely for there to be hidden quests linked along the way.
'The degree of difficulty is a question mark ‘?'' A question mark! In Satisfy, this often referred to matters that were 'impossible to measure.' This meant that the difficulty of this quest was likely to be the highest difficulty that exceeded the SS-grade.
'This is bad.'
A chill went down Grid's spine. He knew about the vampire cities thanks to Lauel. In order to clear one city, wasn't at least 10 third advancement classes required?
'The estimated time to clear one city is 10 days.'
It was huge enough that it couldn't be compared with normal dungeons, and the level of the monsters was also high. In any case, this was the conclusion.
'Isn't this a quest that is impossible to clear by myself?'
No, what was this dirty thing! Pavranium could be considered the inherent weapon of Pagma's Descendant and was limited to exactly 28 pieces. He couldn't help cursing at the possibility of losing 15 of them.
"Ahh… Dammit, really. Things were going too well."
He once again realized there was nothing free in this world. Jishuka and Lauel became worried after seeing hearing sigh.
"What is it Grid? What type of quest did you get?"
"Can you share the quest?"
After a moment. Jishuka and Lauel frowned after confirming the contents of the quest.
"Isn't this a quest that can't be cleared?"
Pon and Regas had failed to clear even one vampire city. This was despite the fact that they invested one whole month. Grid had to clear 15 cities in 90 days alone? It was impossible.
“But it's a quest that must be cleared. Losing the pavranium is like weakening Grid. It can't happen."
"How about the guild members help you out?"
“That would be good. However, our guild now has to manage three territories. The number of people who can support Grid is around 10."
Euphemina wasn't at the merger ceremony because she was on a separate mission. Ruby and Sexy Schoolgirl weren't even level 120 yet, so they were out of the question.
"10 of them… Even if it isn't 15, we can at least obtain 9 pieces of pavranium."
“Yes, it is possible.”
Grid's face wasn't good as he looked at the two people discussing the matter.
"Stop it. I don't want to bother the guild members because of my personal quest."
It was the right mindset. A guild master using members for individual quests was harmful behavior that should be avoided. Lauel smiled at him and explained, "A lot of experience can be gained from the vampire cities, as well as a low probability of obtaining elixirs. The guild members can develop by helping you with your quest."
"But…"
Suddenly, a group of Overgeared members gathered near the hesitant Grid.
“I haven't been hunting in a long time."
“Let's gain some levels."
The Overgeared members were hoping to become the strongest rankers. They didn't want to miss an opportunity to raise their level at the best hunting grounds. In particular, Vantner was extremely active.
"I need some stamina elixirs. Please take me with you."
“…"
Whatever their reasons, they were still trying to help him. It was different compared to the days when Grid couldn't depend on anyone, so he couldn't help forming some happy tears. A wide smile spread on Grid's face.
“Thank you. The next time you come to Korea, I will buy you kanjajang."
The golem invasion of Reinhardt. Grid had rejected going to the king's banquet because he wanted to eat kanjajang. Through this remark, he convinced the Overgeared members.
'Kanjajang… It must be an incredibly precious food.'
'Is it the food for the Korean royalty?'
How expensive was it? As the Overgeared members were engrossed in this vain delusion, Peak Sword watched quietly and mourned.
"I like jjampong." (Jjampong=like a spicy seafood noodle soup. It is common in Korea to ask if you like jajangmyeon or jjampong more)
Now that they were colleagues, Peak Sword was thinking about helping Grid.
***
The expedition was organized.
Grid, Jishuka, Pon, Regas, Peak Sword and Faker were the damage dealers, while Vantner was the tanker. Huroi came to buff while Zednos was the support in the rear. They had 90 days to clear 15 dungeons, so the combination was important.
It was a combination aimed at quickly reaching the boss by piercing through the mobs. Lauel couldn't leave as temporary lord, so he wasn't part of this expedition. Before the expedition departed, Lauel warned them again.
“As you all know, the balance of the cooperation is important. There is a probability of surprise attacks, so always keep an eye on your surroundings.
“I understand, I understand. Are you our mother? How many times do you have to repeat the same thing?"
Vantner whined, but Lauel continued speaking without paying attention to him.
"Considering that the entrance if blocked and communication cut off once you enter the city, there is a 99% chance that summoning your knights won't work. Please don't face a desperate situation."
He wouldn't be so uneasy if Piaro and Asmophel were included in this expedition. But unlike users, NPCs had only one life. They couldn't be risked. Grid laughed at the worried Lauel.
"I'm going."
Grid pledged to complete Lifael's Spear through this expedition.
'If I can reclaim all 15 pieces of pavranium, I can make a Lifael's Spear that is purely composed of pavranium.'
It was a weapon that could easily overcome Failure. His heart was already thumping as he imagined the weapon flying around alone and helping him out.
"Let’s depart.”
The strongest party in Satisfy's history, led by Grid, embarked on their journey. There was a person following them.
OG:
Current schedule: 20 chapters a week.
Chapter 287
There was a mysterious person following Grid's party. He had long arms, thick lips, and impressive skin that was as black as charcoal. His name was Kasim. The last descendant of the Nero people destroyed by the Saharan Empire, and the ultimate assassin with the title of 'King of Shadows.'
"Hrmm."
Kasim had observed Grid from before he became a duke. He always maintained a distance of 5m from Grid. Recently, he had to increase the distance to 7m thanks to the skills of the young assassin called Faker, but it wasn't a huge hindrance. There was still a large difference between Kasim and Faker's skills.
"Vampire city…"
Kasim found out the destination of Grid's party.
Vampires. A branch of the demonkin, they lived in the human world rather than in hell. Their strength was overwhelming. It was natural since they were designed to hunt humans. Entering their lair was an act of suicide.
‘In particular, the problem is the True Blood clan. Duke Grid can deal with a viscount but…'
He wasn't a match for earls yet. Kasim was sure of this because he had a firm grasp of Grid and the Overgeared members' power.
‘If they meet an earl, they will all be wiped out.'
Should he stop it? No, that wasn't necessary. Based on Kasim's observations, Grid and his companions were all immortal cursed existences(users). The cost of death for them wasn't big.
'Sometimes defeat is a good medicine.'
Wasn't that right? Doran. They had fought thousands of times and a defeat in one spar didn't always mean victory in the next.
"…I miss you."
Doran. A friend who grew up together under the same mentor. Why did Grid have the ring Doran inherited from their mentor? Kasim questioned. He was following Grid to figure out why. It didn't take long to figure out why. All his questions were answered after finding out that Grid was Irene's husband.
Nevertheless, the reason he stayed with Grid was because he saw the possibility of Grid growing to rival the Saharan Empire. The Saharan Empire! They persecuted the innocent minorities and wiped them out if they refused to submit.
Kasim had a huge grudge against the empire. He wanted to watch Grid one day destroy the empire.
Suruk.
Kasim disappeared. He would stay by Irene's side until Grid came back. Nothing should grab Grid's ankle while he was growing. Kasim planned to thoroughly protect Irene, who Grid loved.
Piaro was working in the fields, Asmophel training soldiers, and Kasim was hiding in the city. Now Reidan was much safer than when Kraugel had been here. It was an impregnable fortress unless a dragon or great demon attacked.
Administrator Rabbit could develop the city with confidence.
'In a few months, we can finally escape from a the deficit. I have to slowly raise the labor costs to increase the efficiency of the workers. Is it enough if I raise it by 0.1%?'
Grid was unaware of this, but there were many positive people around him. All of this was created by Grid's changes and growth, so he should be proud.
***
[The giant worm has been destroyed.]
[2,330,900 experience has been acquired.]
[The desert toad has been destroyed.]
[2,607,400 experience has been acquired.]
'It is great.'
They headed to the vampire cities. Grid's group slayed desert creatures as they moved forward. Peak Sword marvelled from among them.
'These monsters give too much experience. I can't adapt.'
The desert monsters gave at least 20% more experience than the monsters on the top floor of Cork Dungeon. However, it didn't take long to hunt them. This was absurd. It was the reason why the Overgeared members monopolized the top rankings after Grid was appointed as lord of Reidan.
'The vampires will give a lot more experience than the desert monsters. Maybe I might achieve level 307 in this expedition.'
Peak Sword didn't think that entering the top 10 was a dream. On the other hand, Grid was full of complaints.
‘The experience is too low.'
Most users raised their levels by hunting or quests, but Grid was a special case who raised it through raids. So it was natural for him to complain.
Considering that the knights and elders of the Rebecca Church gave tens of millions of experience, and Pascal gave 700 million experience, the two million of the desert monsters was terrible.
'When can I reach level 300?'
Pagma's Descendant didn't have the concept of second or third class advancements. But at level 300, his stats went through the third awakening like any other user. Since Grid had unusually high stats, he would be dramatically strengthened the moment he reached level 300.
He dreamed of that day, but Grid was currently only level 296. His experience gauge wasn't even half full yet. He was sighing when he suddenly recalled the Reputation Store. He broke through 30,000 reputation after obtaining the 'Sealed Ability' hidden piece and was able to use the Reputation Store.
He had looked at it the other day.
‘There is a potion that gives an experience buff.' What if he took that potion after entering a vampire city? 'I can level up!'
Grid opened the Reputation Store.
"Reputation Store!"
Ttiring~
[This is a special service for the best in Satisfy!]
Immediately after this phrase, a golden carriage only visible to Grids eyes fell from the sky. It was very similar to the golden carriage that occasionally came to front line troops that had no PX (Post exchange).
Grid was convinced that the inventor of this system was someone who served in the military.
[Introducing the luxurious goods to our guest!]
[Sweet Candy]
A little candy bar!
A candy with natural sweetness is the best!
There are no chemicals added!
Effects: When the sweet candy is in your mouth, all stats will rise by 30% for 5 minutes.
* This item can only be purchased five times per account.
Price: 20,000 reputation.
It started with the limited-edition products that offered the best performance to…
[Good-looking Sunglasses]
The large frame is the highlight of the square sunglasses!
It is big enough to cover half the face, so it will help someone ugly look handsome!
Effect: Look handsome.
* The charm stat isn't created or increased. It is a simple accessory with no special function other than a visual effect.
Price: 5,000 reputation.
…Items that had no practical use.
The golden carriage. No, the Reputation Store had around 30 products displayed. There were event-limited products that were occasionally released. In any case, Grid only needed one item right now.
'Where is the experience potion? Ah, found it!'
Grid's gaze fixed on a specific produce.
[Draw! Draw! Draw everything!]
A random drawing machine.
At the price of 999 reputation, you can get a variety of items randomly.
* Limited edition items aren't included.
* There is a certain chance of gaining an experience buff potion.
Price: 999 reputation.
‘This is great!’
Satisfy didn't have a maximum level, so experience buffs could exponentially increase the gap between users. The experience buff potions common in ordinary games couldn't be found in Satisfy.
But the Reputation Store was a special place. Only a few users could gather such great achievements, so it needed to be attractive to them. That attraction was the experience buff potion.
Grid went over there in a flash.
'The cost is cheap. Why is it 999 reputation instead of 1,000?'
There were many 20,000 products in the world valued at 29,990 won. This was a marketing technique to deceive people.
'It is an opportunity to get a buff potion for a low price!'
999 reputation. Considering that he got 150 reputation when making a unique item and 500 reputation from a legendary item, it wasn't a cheap price. However, Grid judged that it was worthwhile to try and used 999 reputation on the drawing machine.
[Draw! Draw! You have drawn a product.]
Chwaruruk!
The goods in the machine started spinning. Then after a while.
Rattle!
An item popped out.
[Congratulations! Pretty Hairpin has been acquired!]
[Pretty Hairpin]
A colourful and pretty hairpin.
If you gift it to a woman, she will be delighted.
Weight: 0.1
"…?"
It was the result of losing his mind at the thought of a experience buff potion. Grid temporarily forgot about the odds of a game like this.
“Dammit!”
The blue hairpin was really pretty. It would surely have a great effect with Irene's silver hair. However, it wasn't worth wasting 999 reputation on. Grid cursed and tried to throw the hairpin away, but eventually put it in his inventory. It would be a gift for Irene.
He pictured Irene and his anger calmed.
“Yes, it is hard for things to happen the first time."
The second time. He would try a second draw. Grid bought another spin.
[Congratulations! You have acquired the world's most delicious skewer.]
[World's Most Delicious Skewer]
It is a skewer of a hell dog's hind legs aged for 100 days, then roasted with a secret sauce.
It is the supreme taste that gourmet raiders enjoy.
“It’s just dog meat!”
[This! You have failed! Unfortunately, please look for the next opportunity.]
"There is even a failure?"
Prior to the release of virtual reality games. Grid hadn't experienced the mobile games that most people in the world played. He only played MMORPGs that he could enjoy on his PC. He didn't know the fear of drawing games, and was confused.
"Dammit! Bullshit!"
Grid's anger aimed at innocent creatures. On the way to the vampire city, Grid killed more monsters than anyone else. Even Pon and Regas were surprised at his speedy hunting.
"Grid is really motivated."
"He is in a high position, so he feels a strong sense of responsibility."
"Grid has matured even more after the guild merger. Truly wonderful."
Bias was scary. Filled with misunderstandings, Grid's party finally arrived at a vampire city.
