Overgeared Chapter 263:
Chapter 263
“It’s the first time that we’ve met in reality . ”
Youngwoo returned home after jogging with Sehee . Youngwoo encountered a man in his mid-30’s in a nice suit .
“Peak Sword?”
He gave off a stronger feeling in the game, but it was definitely Peak Sword . He was a South Korean who always asked foreigners ‘Do you know?’
“Hahaha! It’s an honor that God Grid recognized me . ”
“It isn’t unusual . ”
In fact, Youngwoo had a close relationship with Peak Sword . A friendship formed after they raided Hell Gao in Cork Island Dungeon together, as well as the Sakura Guild . Youngwoo didn’t feel uncomfortable despite Peak Sword visiting without any notice . Rather, there was a pleasant feeling . But he was confused .
“I heard you’re usually jogging around this time, so I came to find you in the morning . I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to meet you, but luckily, I got the timing right .
Peak Sword extended a card .
[Korean Patriotic Association]
President Kang Daehan .
Kang Daehan . It was Peak Sword’s real name .
“Korean Patriotic Association? What is that?”
“Our task is to spread South Korea to the world . For example, if we encounter a foreigner…”
“I understand . ”
He didn’t want to hear a more detailed explanation . He could guess it was something absurd just from the description .
“For reference, my sibling’s name is Minguk . ” (TL: South Korea pronounced in Korean is Daehan Minguk . )
Daehan and Minguk . It was clear that Peak Sword’s unique patriotism came from his parents .
“It’s a cool name . ”
“Right? But my sibling hates the name . ”
“Why?”
“She’s a girl . ”
“A girl is called Kang Minguk?”
“Yes . ”
“…I would hate it as well . ”
“Yes, I am the same . But she can’t change her name . If the name of Minguk disappears, the meaning of my name won’t be shown . In the first place, does it make sense to change the names our parents give us?”
“Indeed . ”
Then…
‘Why are we having such a pointless conversation?’
He was dragged into Peak Sword’s pace . Peak Sword seemed to have a lot of talent as an insurance salesman . Youngwoo raised his awareness and asked .
“Why did you come to find me?”
“That…” Peak Sword was about to explain when he suddenly saw Sehee . He greeted Sehee with a heavy 90 degree bow . “It is an honor to meet God Grid’s sister and Saintess Ruby . This brother and sister are truly the treasure of South Korea . ”
Sehee turned red . She was embarrassed by the excessive formality and praise .
“Oppa, I will enter first . Talk to each other . ”
She hurried into the house while Peak Sword looked after her with a warm expression .
“She is pretty and polite . My sister Minguk is also pretty . ”
“…”
“Well, won’t do we go drink coffee and have a talk?”
Youngwoo was thirsty after jogging so he nodded .
“Yes . ”
The two men found a nearby cafe .
***
The end of June . Thanks to the university students who had already finished their final exams, the Tomorrow Cafe had a few empty seats .
Rattle .
“Welcome . ”
The employee said as the door opened . Some of the guests reflexively gazed towards the entrance and were shocked .
“Peak Sword?”
“Wow, it really is Peak Sword . ”
Peak Sword, the other South Korean ranker apart from Yura . He was a top star of Korea .
Snap snap!
People started taking photos of Peak Sword with their phones .
Rattle .
Another guest entered the cafe after Peak Sword . Youngwoo .
“G-God Grid!”
“Wow! Grid! We live in the same neighborhood, but this is the first time I’ve seen him in real life!”
“Kyaaak! Youngwoo-ssi is so cool!”
“What is Noe doing?”
The attention of the people instantly concentrated on Youngwoo . Youngwoo was the trend right now . It was enough to make Peak Sword seem like a third-rate celebrity . Peak Sword watched Youngwoo proudly before giving his order to the employee .
“Cappu…chino . ”
His voice was shaking . He appeared to be sad . Youngwoo ignored the people and ordered a banana shake . The two people were seated at a table in the corner . Finally, Peak Sword cut to the chase .
“I want to merge the Silver Knights Guild into the Overgeared Guild . ”
“Huh?”
“We want to become members of Overgeared . ”
The scale of the Silver Knights Guild was huge . There were more than 200 guild members and they were the owners of Cork Island, famous for their gold mines and sightseeing spots, so they were well funded . It was enough to put their name on the list of top 50 guilds . This great guild wanted to be merged into Overgeared . It didn’t make sense .
Youngwoo questioned it . “The Silver Knights Guild is enjoying great glory, so why you you want to enter the Overgeared Guild?”
Peak Sword replied honestly . “Our guild’s growth is up to here . There is nobody in the guild with a unique talent, and Cork Island has a geographical limit as an island . It’s difficult to expand our forces, and we will eventually be left behind . ”
Then they would be culled .
“In addition, I want to add strength to the team that you are leading, the pride of South Korea . I want to build the strongest guild together and raise the status of South Korea . ”
Peak Sword never dreamed that Youngwoo would refuse the offer . Who would refuse the chance to devour a huge guild? But Youngwoo showed a surprisingly cold reaction . The reason was simple .
“You seem to have misunderstood something . I didn’t establish Overgeared for my country . The only reason I made Overgeared is so that my colleagues and I can earn money and live better . ”
That’s right . Youngwoo was completely different from Peak Sword . He had an entirely different nature .
“Increasing South Korea’s status? Don’t even dream of joining my guild if it is for such a reason . The Overgeared members and I don’t care about that . Don’t you know that Overgeared is a multinational guild?”
Honestly, it was a waste . Youngwoo wanted to close his eyes and swallow up the Silver Knights Guild . However, if he allowed them to join while still thinking this foolishness, it could cause a crack in his guild in the future .
He had now broadened his view . It was one of the virtues infused in him by Lauel .
‘Above all, I like this guy . ’
If he had no affection for Peak Sword, he might’ve merged the guild without hesitation . Then once he took full advantage, he would’ve discarded them . This was also the specialty of Lauel and Rabbit . But Youngwoo liked Peak Sword . He didn’t want their relationship to be broken .
Peak Sword was embarrassed after reading this .
“Thank you for speaking honestly . My thoughts were too selfish . ”
“I’m thankful that you understand . ”
A waitress brought over the drinks they ordered . She brought the drinks directly because she wanted to see Youngwoo close up .
‘He is okay . ’ He had sharp eyes and an impressive physique . It was hard to call him handsome at first sight, but he became more charming the more she looked . ‘He is constructing a 10 billion won building?’
Her life would be easy if she caught this man . These were the thoughts revolving around the waitress’ head . She tried to get his attention, but Youngwoo wasn’t interested . His lack of experience with popularity was the cause . Youngwoo couldn’t grasp the meaning of the gaze that the female sent him . It might’ve been different if the employee had a D cup .
Youngwoo drank his banana shake . Peak Sword waited for the waitress to withdraw before speaking again .
“I still want to merge the Silver Knights Guild into the Overgeared Guild . ”
What? Youngwoo frowned as Peak Sword repeated his words . Peak Sword bowed his head . “I am also a ranker . I want a better environment . I want to belong to the best guild and play in a better environment . It is the same for everyone else in the Silver Knights Guild . ”
Overgeared Guild . The synergy between the legendary blacksmith and top talents was sure to explode, resulting in the strongest force in the future . Peak Sword’s personal greed made him want to join . This decision was solidified after he actually met Youngwoo . From his point of view, Youngwoo was a good person .
“More than anything, I want to be with you . I still can’t forget that Hell Gao raid . It was the most enjoyable day of my gaming life . ”
“Hrmm . ” Youngwoo remembered the swordsman who mined the fire stones and gave a strange smile . “Are you mining these days?”
During the Hell Gao raid, Peak Sword awakened to the fun of mining . He felt an addictive pleasure every time he obtained a fire stone .
“I often enjoy it . When hunting in the dungeon, I will mine while waiting for my health to recover . It’s much better than just sitting down and resting . I have fun, earn money, and my stats go up . ”
“What’s the level of your mining skill?”
“Beginner level 9 . I will master the beginner level soon . ”
“Hoh . ”
Youngwoo thought Peak Sword had some talent when watching him mine the fire stones, but his growth was faster than expected . It would be good to get more miners .
“Aren’t there a lot of mines on Cork Island? Miners as well?”
“Of course . Most of the residents of Cork Island are in the mining business . In addition, there are a few miners in the guild . ”
Youngwoo’s smile widened further .
“Okay . I will accept the Silver Knights Guild . ”
“Really?”
Peak Sword’s pleasure couldn’t be described . Youngwoo added a condition . “However, you must promise not to force the other guild members to love South Korea . ”
Youngwoo was also Korean . It was a rotten country in many ways, but he still loved South Korea . However, he didn’t want to force the guild members to feel the same way .
Peak Sword agreed . “I understand . ”
With this, it was finished . Youngwoo finished the banana shake and rose from his seat .
“Let’s go . I need to connect to Satisfy and share this guild merger with Lauel . ”
“Yes!”
Peak Sword cried out jubilantly . Did he abandon his patriotism to join Overgeared? No . Not at all . He knew . Even if he didn’t taken any actions for South Korea, as long as Koreans belonged to the Overgeared Guild, the status of South Korea would naturally increase . There were many benefits to joining Overgeared .
“Hey . ”
Youngwoo left the cafe with Peak Sword . Peak Sword called out to a foreign couple passing by . He pointed to Youngwoo and asked .
“Do you know Grid?”
“…”
Youngwoo was embarrassed . Peak Sword was paying attention to his actions, but there seemed to be a limit . He was worried that the Overgeared members wouldn’t be able to adapt for a while .
‘Well, those parts will be handled by Lauel . ’
It was fortunate that he had Lauel . Youngwoo said goodbye to Peak Sword and went home . Then he entered his capsule .
“Login . ”
There was a mountain of work to do . After accepting Piaro and Asmophel, he had to create a knights division . After that, he had to observe and seal Lifael’s Spear, acquire the design for a myth rated item, and save Isabel .
‘I also need to make more of the Grid set . ’
Youngwoo’s vision darkened as he planned many things .
“It’s the first time that we’ve met in reality . ”
Youngwoo returned home after jogging with Sehee . Youngwoo encountered a man in his mid-30’s in a nice suit .
