Overgeared Chapter 27:

Chapter 27

“Lululala~

I naturally hummed a song, and as soon as I got out of the capsule, I sat on the toilet seat .

“Lululululu~

I then headed to the kitchen and drank cold water .

“Lalalalala~

I lay back on the couch and watched TV .  The humming didnt stop, and laughter even started to emerge .  I was so happy! Thanks to the hidden quest, I obtained a combat buff skill and cleared the quest safely, opening the path to a linked quest . I also gained a lot of levels in a short amount of time .

I killed a few gangsters and got to level 21, isnt this a really big jackpot? Why is my luck so good these days?

Hidden quests werent easily obtained .  This was the first time in my one year of playing Satisfy . Among the billions of people currently playing Satisfy, only a handful wouldve obtained a hidden quest .  

Many things had gone well since I became Pagmas Descendant .  It really was an incredible class .

“There was a reason for my misfortune . It was a divine revelation after years of enduring misfortune . Ahahahahat~!

What type of quest would Blacksmith Khan give me? And the reward? Maybe the enormous reward would be a unique item that I could use for a while…

If so!

“I can become a billionaire! Kuahahaha!”

The performance of Dainsleif and Valhalla was almost the same as the unique rated Failure that I designed .  However, since the usage conditions were very normal, it was possible to have an astronomical value when dealing with users .

They are items that remind me of why Failure is a failure .

Albatino was a great blacksmith . He was probably the blacksmith who gave inspiration to Pagma…

“Such a great person wasnt a legendary blacksmith, while I stumbled across the legendary blacksmith class during a quest… Well, this is the world .

I once again felt gratitude towards the legendary class that I obtained .

Hrmm .  I gazed at my watch with a yawn and saw that it had been two hours since I left the capsule .  Eight hours have passed in the world of Satisfy . Wont Khan wake up soon?

According to the doctor, Khans health was severe to excessive drinking and stress .  But if I followed the quest story, Khan would overcome the alcoholism and his health would be restored . So I didnt have to worry about it .

I connected to Satisfy .

“Log in . ”

My vision darkened before giving way to a warm light as I opened both eyes .

“…This is the clinic .

The last place I logged out of was the clinic where Khan was hospitalized .  I immediately went to find the doctor called Simon .

“What is the old mans status?

Simon smiled kindly .

“I thought it was dangerous because of the sudden increase in blood pressure in his weakened state . However, his condition is better than expected . He can soon be discharged from the hospital . God has blessed him…

“Im glad to hear that .

“He will be healthier if he stays away from drinking in the future .

I headed to Khans room with Simon .  After a while, Khan smiled as he saw me .  Ohh, welcome . I owe a lot to you .

I responded with a smile, Those in difficult circumstances should help each other . Now, you can leave the hospital . You just need to pay for the treatment fee .

……

Why wasnt Khan answering? I couldnt help feeling uncomfortable .  Then Khans words were like a lightning bolt from the clear sky .

Im sorry… I currently dont…

T-This…! It was like a lightning bolt struck my mind .

“Dont tell me… you wont pay the bill?

It isnt that I wont pay, but I cant . I dont have the money .

Then what are you going to do? Does this clinic accept credit?

I stared at Simon . His kind expression that had always been present was gone . Then Simon spoke with a very business-like expression .  Credit isnt possible .

……

I wanted to leave this old man alone, but then I wouldnt be able to get the quest .

Damm . . it! My bad luck was waiting! Luck is truly the worst!

I had to pay one gold for Khans treatment cost .  I was afraid to calculate how much I had spent today .

Khans smithy .

“Thank you once again .

As soon as Khan arrived at his smithy, he turned to me and bowed 90 degrees, expressing his sincere gratitude .  Fortunately, he had a conscience . He thanked the person who paid one gold for his medical bill .

“Thank you . Thank you very much . I was able to feel hope again because of you . I was able to maintain the business that has been in my family for seven generations, that I almost lost due to my ignorance . I dont know how to repay you…

Khan started crying . Unlike young people, elderly people really had a lot of tears .

Old Man…

I grabbed Khans rough hand .

It was a common action that the main character of dramas would do . Isnt it natural to help a neighbor in trouble? This was nothing, Old Man . There is no need to feel sorry . I dont need anything in return for my help . Such unrealistic words would be spoken .

But I wasnt a protagonist of a drama! I was a loser of the cruel, relentless modern society that was close to the natural laws of the Serengeti . I want a reward!

“If you really appreciate it, give me something . Come on . ”

“Yes, that’s right . Of course, I have to pay you back . Your grace was too big, I dont know what type of reward to give you . ”

I just noticed, was this old man really simple? Didnt he notice the words I use? I stayed focused . I couldnt think about anything else .

“Old Man, you were almost robbed of this smithy by those gangsters . If you keep drinking, your health will worsen and you will eventually die .  

Um, thats right .

“When you collapsed from high blood pressure, you couldve died . Didnt you live because I took you to the clinic and paid for your treatment fee?

Yes .

“Then arent I the savior of your life?

Yes .

I spoke logically .  “To the savior of your life, you should give me a precious treasure equivalent to your life!

Khan stopped crying and looked very sorry .

“A precious treasure equivalent to my life… I dont have such a thing . What should I do? Ugh…

“Dont look so sad . I am very nice so I dont want treasures that are equivalent to your life . Over there, there .  I pointed to the second floor with my finger .  “If you give me Dainsleif and Valhalla, that is enough of a reward .

My heart was beating excitedly .  It was because I was filled with expectation at receiving the items as a gift .  But this was me .  The world never went my way so easily .

“They are the heirlooms that have been passed down in my family for many generations . It is a treasure that my life cant be compared to . I will give my life to you, but I cant give you those items .

It was a flat refusal .  If he wasnt going to give it, why bother being so earnest? As a frown appeared on my face, Khan coughed with shame and explained .

“These are treasures that my ancestor, Albatino dedicated his soul to . The treasures of his soul cant be handled by his descendant . I am obliged to keep these heirlooms until the day I die . But theres an exception .

Khan was Albatinos descendant? He couldnt fake his blood . Did that mean he would display advanced blacksmith skills once his alcohol addiction was healed? And what was the exception?

“What is the exception?

Khans gaze became serious .  There is something I want to ask you . How were you able to use the treasures? And how did you know its value at a glance?

Khan explained .

“Dainsleif and Valhalla are unlucky battle gear . Their performance transcends imagination, but due to the usage requirements, it has been hundreds of years since an owner showed up . No hero could use them . Its been like that for the past few centuries . Due to that, they have disappeared in the history records . Now no one knows about their existence .

Khan and I went upstairs . We stood facing Dainsleif and Valhalla .

Khan touched them and beckoned .

I am sad since I want the world to know the value of Dainsleif and Valhalla . So I placed it in this prominent place . But in order to fully understand such an extremely good work, the person needs the same level of insight as the creator . Despite having displayed it for decades, no one has understood its value .

Khan faced me .

Then you showed up here .

The long story began .

“There is a legend that is passed down in my family . Around 130 years ago, a man called Pagma came here . He found Dainsleif and Valhalla accumulated dust in a corner of the store . He saw it at first glance . The value of Dainsleif and Valhalla…

Khans eyes flashed .

“Pagma admired the work of Dainsleif and Valhalla . It is said that he showed off his swordsmanship wearing Dainsleif, which has never been used by any hero . The beauty of it was unbelievable, and the swordsmanship seemed to pierce the sky, creating lightning .

I was amazed .  An absurd but exciting fairy tale! Did he read the interest in my eyes?

Khan became more immersed in the story .  “My ancestor, who witnessed the swordsmanship, fell to his knees in front of Pagma and begged . Please take Dainsleif and Valhalla . That would be what my ancestor wanted .

Ohh! It became bigger! So? Did Pagma agree?

“No . If Pagma agreed then Dainsleif and Valhalla wouldnt be here right now . This was Pagmas reply . These works are filled with Albatinos soul . I will refuse because they are so powerful, they shouldnt be wasted on a small bowl like myself . Pagma was obstinate and my ancestor finally had to give up .

I really didnt understand the man called Pagma . No, why would he refuse something that was free? I would accept and sell them .

‘Ah, Pagma mustve been a really rich person . So he wasnt greedy .

My story continued while I was thinking this .

“Pagma said this before he left here . There are currently no heroes who can handle this armor . However, when the time comes, many heroes will emerge and all of them will be qualified to become masters of that armor .

……

I interpreted Pagmas words . The many heroes he spoke of referred to the users .  The growth of users was fast and infinite . There would soon be rankers who could use Dainsleif and Valhalla .

I dont want the items to be taken by them .

I asked Khan straight away .  “So what is the reason for the lengthy explanation?

Khan replied without hesitation .  I want to know your identity .

“Do you think I am one of the heroes that Pagma talked about?

“That’s right . Didnt I say there was an exception? If you can prove that you are the hero Pagma talked about, I am willing to give you Dainsleif and Valhalla .

There were strong expectations in Khans eyes .

I couldnt know .  The link with an ancient quest was approaching .
