Overgeared Chapter 236:
Chapter 236
Grid and the Overgeared members returned .
It took four days, which was twice as long as the planned schedule . Rabbit came out and met them .
“I was worried since you were late . ”
Vantner grumbled, “As part of training, we defeated all of the monsters on the way and back from the destination . ”
Grid received the grumbles and laughed . “We’ve become a lot stronger thanks to that . ”
It was true .
During the past four days, they constantly hunted as well as raided the doppelganger . Therefore, the Overgeared members made tremendous progress . It wasn’t just increasing their levels and items . Their control and ability to cooperate with each other had increased dramatically . It was thanks to Piaro’s teachings, who was an expert in tactics as well as swordsmanship .
Rabbit spoke bitterly, “Please stick to the schedule in the future . There will be a big loss if the schedule is out of order . ”
Grid listened to him . He and the Overgeared members all had important positions in Reidan . It was too much to delay them with him . Grid carved that advice into himself .
“I will be careful . ”
‘He has become more mature . ’
Rabbit smiled as he perceived the new changes in Grid . “Anyway, I’m glad that you’re fine . What was the result?”
Did a mine really exist in Alzar Mountain?
If there was a mine, was it really a yellow mithril mine? Rabbit was full of expectations, and Grid didn’t disappoint him .
“The mine was secured . As you guessed, it’s a yellow mithril mine . ”
“Ohh…!”
Yellow mithril had appeared in the history of alchemy hundreds of years ago . None of the present day people had witnessed yellow mithril . Now Reidan obtained a monopoly on yellow mithril . It was a feat that even the empire, which occupied more than half of the territory on the continent, had failed at .
The resulting ripple effect would be huge .
“You did a great job . Reidan’s future has been obtained . ”
It wasn’t an exaggeration . Reidan would be able to establish a unique position with alchemy . It was expected that there would be an explosive synergy with alchemy and the legendary blacksmith .
As a result, Reidan would become the Talima of the human world .
“Let’s go to the meeting room . We need to discuss mine development and the alchemy investment funds . ” Rabbit said excitedly, but Grid shook his head .
“I’m okay . Discuss it with the Overgeared members and proceed on your own . ”
“I understand . ”
Rabbit already knew that Grid was deliberately avoiding his duties as a lord and didn’t panic . He just felt relief for being trusted, and a burning motivation .
‘I will do my best to make both of us rich . ’
The decisive Rabbit moved to the meeting room with the Overgeared members . A small woman was left alone with Grid . A female with twin tailed blonde hair, it was Euphemina .
“You seem to have completed all the work well . Congratulations . ”
Euphemina was tired . It was natural, since she had been working without a break since returning from Frontier with Rabbit .
“Why did you call me? Do you have something else for me to do?”
There were sharp points in Euphemina’s words . It seemed that she wanted to hit him .
Then Grid spoke some surprising words .
“Rest for the moment . ”
“…Huh?”
Euphemina’s eyes widened . She was confused by Grid’s unexpected words .
“I know that you’ve been working harder than anyone else over the past few months . Haven’t you gone through a lot since joining the guild? Take some time to recharge and get a good night’s sleep . You can also raise your level, which you have been postponing . ”
“Is it okay?”
Reidan was short-handed compared to the size of the city . In such a situation, it would be a big blow if an elite like Euphemina was to leave . Grid laughed at her hesitance .
“Yes, Reidan is quite stable thanks to your work . The experts in each field have been trained, so don’t worry too much . ”
“Grid…”
Euphemina was moved .
In retrospect, this was the first time Grid had been so kind to her . He was always chilly and awkward, so this attitude change felt like a reward for her hard work . But that good atmosphere didn’t last for long .
“I recommend the Siren Kingdom as the hunting ground . While you are there, you should get some of the Water Clan King’s tears . ”
“…”
It was the moment when Grid’s intentions were revealed . Euphemina’s expression cooled .
“You want me to go to the Siren Kingdom and get the tears of the water clan king?”
The effect of the Water Clan King’s Tears was unrivaled . It was a rare material that permanently gave magic to an item . But it was hard to find . Grid once again gave her a mission under the guise of a vacation .
‘How long must I be abused?’
Euphemina sighed . She was treated as a princess everywhere she went, but now she was just a worker? She felt skeptical about whether she really should’ve joined the Overgeared Guild . Then Grid handed an item to her . It wasn’t a robe or a cloak . It was a hooded zip up that could be seen in modern society .
“What’s this?” Euphemina was puzzled by the unfamiliar item and asked Grid .
“A gift . ”
“What…?”
Euphemina didn’t show much of a response . She saw the Hooded Zip Up as just a decorative item . But she was shocked as soon as she confirmed the item information .
“I-Invisibility cloak?”
Around 200 years ago, the legendary tailor Kruger made five invisibility cloaks, two of which still reportedly existed . But no one knew where to obtain them . Invisibility cloaks were a super rare system . Euphemina was thrilled by the gift .
“I will go to the Siren Kingdom!”
Euphemina once again thought it was good that she joined Overgeared . Grid’s mood improved as he saw her happiness .
Give and take . The joy of a colleague was his joy . The growth of a colleague was his growth .
Grid honestly thought so .
***
Khan’s smithy .
Grid opened the pet inventory and pulled out the ‘Doppelganger of the Mysterious Forest . ’
Crash .
The liquid was reminiscent of molten metal and stretched over the floor without much effort . Grid pulled out his hammer .
‘Repair it . ’
In Wendy’s diary, Pagma had repaired the doppelganger . On the basis of that, Pagma’s Descendant should also be able to repair the doppelganger . Grid didn’t doubt it . Then he started to repair the doppelganger with the Legendary Blacksmith’s Repair skill Lv . 3 .
Ttang! Ttang!
It wasn’t easy to repair the doppelganger . He didn’t know the repair method because he had no understanding of the structure of the body . He had no choice but to study it . Grid believed in himself . To be precise, he believed in the Legendary Blacksmith’s Repair skill . He was sure the skill would lead him correctly .
Then one hour later . Grid finally determined the core and hammered quickly .
[Your dexterity has risen by 5 . ]
[Your persistence has risen by 3 . ]
[The Legendary Blacksmith’s Repair skill has reached level 4 . ]
[The Doppelganger of the Mysterious Forest has been restored!]
The welcome notification windows popped up as the doppelganger started to move . Now it had a slime like appearance . Grid confirmed the information window .

Somewhere in the doppelganger’s body, there is a core of life energy . The doppelganger won’t die unless this core is completely destroyed .
‘Wonderful . ’
Grid was thrilled . The basic stats of the doppelganger at level one were very low compared to Noe, but the Copy skill was excellent . Grid could use it as a clone that demonstrated 30% of his stats .
‘I have to take care to raise its level . ’
Grid set a policy to treat the doppelganger differently from Noe . If Noe knew, he would be jealous .
“Wh…o?” The doppelganger was confused . “Who am I…? You… Who?”
Grid kindly explained to the doppelganger who was asking questions . “Your name is Randy . And I am Grid . We are friends . ”
“Ran…dy . Frie…nds . ”
Was it a remainder of the lost memories? The doppelganger slowly changed to look like a five or six year old girl . She had orange hair and was very cute . She would be beautiful when she was older .
‘This child is Wendy . ’
Grid’s expression darkened . He felt compassion for Randy and Wendy’s unhappy life .
“Randy . Good name . Friend . Good . ”
“I’m glad that you like it . ”
Randy smiled very brightly . Grid couldn’t help stroking her hair .
‘There might’ve been a sad ending in your past life, but this life will be different . ’
Grid decided . He aimed to give Randy happiness .
“Next…”
He needed to strengthen the Doppelganger’s Greatsword and Grid’s Boots in turn . Grid took out a large amount of enhancement stones that the Overgeared members had conceded to him .
‘After this preparation, I’ll get revenge for Piaro . ’
It was the moment when a new legend in the history of the Saharan Empire would soon be recorded .
Grid and the Overgeared members returned .
It took four days, which was twice as long as the planned schedule . Rabbit came out and met them .
