Overgeared Chapter 276:
Chapter 276
Yura was praised as one of the best beauties in the world . Her beauty transcended race and people’s tastes . She was a hundred times more beautiful in reality than on TV or photos . It felt like they would go blind when they stared at her .
It was so astounding that everyone was silent .
“…”
The director was entranced by Yura’s beauty and came forward . He was 45 years old . He married his first love 20 years ago and hadn’t cheated once . But this was the first time he faced a crisis .
“Hum hum! Hum!” The director regained his senses . He cleared his throat and smiled brightly . “It is the most auspicious day for this station thanks to Yura-ssi’s presence . But why did you come here?”
“I came to claim Youngwoo-ssi’s fee . ”
“Youngwoo…?”
One man came to mind .
‘Grid . ’
His real name was Shin Youngwoo . The team members were agitated .
“Did Grid give you permission to broadcast live?”
“What permission? We didn’t know it was Grid in the first place . ”
“Huh, you can be in big trouble if you aren’t careful . ”
“Why is Yura coming forward for Grid?”
“The rumor that she is close to Grid is true . ”
“…Isn’t Grid together with Jishuka? Wasn’t there a scandal last time?”
“There was also a scandal with Yura . ”
“…”
The men trembled . They really envied Grid . It was to the point where they wanted to cry .
‘In my next life, I must be born as Grid!’
They would hit the ground and wail with regret if they were born as Grid, but they didn’t know this fact .
“Let’s go somewhere else . ”
The director led Yura to his office . The chief director’s office . Elegance flowed from Yura as she sat on the sofa . Even the way she held the cup of tea was reminiscent of a noble . Yura sipped the tea before cutting to the chase .
“Pay Youngwoo-ssi 30% of the ad revenue generated by this broadcast . Then Youngwoo-ssi will forget that it was broadcasted without his permission . ”
“30% of the ad revenue?”
It was absurd . It was enough to break down the broadcasting system .
“This joke is too much . ”
Currently, the best star in South Korea was Yura . Even she wasn’t given a proportion of the advertising revenue for a broadcast . Grid was a popular trend, but Yura’s demands were too unrealistic .
“I will give 350 million won . ”
It was an amount that put him in the same class as Yura . This was more than necessary . But it didn’t come close to satisfying Yura .
“You know that you can be held seriously liable if you use the gameplay video of another person for commercial purposes without permission . ”
“…”
“Many cruel things were shown on this broadcast, so the Communications Commission is likely to come down harshly on you . It will become bothersome . Excess greed is just a poison . ”
Yura was one of the wealthiest people in South Korea . She had the best lawyers . The director wasn’t ignorant of this . He thought carefully and replied, “I know that our position is disadvantageous . But 30% is too much . ”
It was estimated that the advertising revenue of this live broadcast would be close to 15 billion won . This was an industry record . But to hand over one-third of it to an individual? It was beyond common sense and he couldn’t make the decision alone .
“In the first place, we relayed without knowing that the man in the mask was Grid . There is no reason to believe that we intentionally exploited Grid . In addition, Grid didn’t directly reveal his face, so it doesn’t infringe on his image rights . Besides, the filming stage was a public event . We have the right to broadcast everything that happens in a public venue…”
In fact, OGC Station’s position wasn’t disadvantageous . However, the person holding the sword was Yura .
“Please handle it flexibly . If you show me your sincerity, I will coordinate my schedule with OGC . Who knows? Youngwoo-ssi might also like OGC because of this work . ”
“Ah…!”
It wasn’t time to look at the immediate profit and loss . Grid and Yura . Wasn’t this an opportunity to build a relationship with the two top stars who represented South Korea? If he could plan a broadcast around them, OGC would be able to steadily generate profits like today .
“I will contact you after a meeting . If we’re to transfer the advertising revenue, we will need to draw up a few separate contracts that I hope you’ll review . ”
“Okay, now the conversation is good . ”
Yura smiled brightly at the director’s clever judgment . Then the director asked her a careful question as she rose from her seat .
“However… You recently disappeared from the rankings . Is it because you obtained a hidden class like everyone guessed?”
“Maybe one day I will explain in an interview with OGC news . ”
“Oh my! If this is true… I’m happy just imagining it!”
A huge smile . The director’s rising lips were unwilling to go down . He escorted Yura out of the building .
Click .
Yura entered the limousine with a bright expression . She was very satisfied, because the negotiations proceeded more easily than she had expected .
‘It would’ve been different if this was a major broadcasting station . ’ Fortunately, the opponent was OGC . As a broadcaster that only dealt with the ‘games’ genre, they appreciated Grid’s value . ‘Won’t Youngwoo-ssi be happy?’
Demon Slayer was a class hostile to the Yatan Church and demonkin . Therefore, she had no choice but to build up a relationship with the Rebecca Church . Yura was interested in the pope candidates for this reason . She watched OGC’s live broadcast of the speeches .
But what was this? The broadcast’s main character changed to Grid . Yura was worried when she watched the broadcast . Grid still didn’t know about the broadcasting world and this could harm him . She was concerned and immediately took action .
She visited OGC and made it so that Grid received a huge profit rather than a loss .
Her reasoning was simple: Yura wanted to look good to Grid . As the former 5th ranked user, she was well aware of Overgeared’s importance and wished to join them . She needed a place to rely on until her level was restored .
A few private emotions were also mixed in .

The Vatican .
“Such a pathetic person . ”
Kamiyan might be inexperienced, but Fulito never thought he would be killed by a fist . He was the shame of the Red Knights . Fulito didn’t mourn Kamiyan’s death . Rather, he cursed Kamiyan .
“I’m in this embarrassing situation because of that **** . ”
After Piaro betrayed the empire . The new Red Knights developed by Sword Duke Limit were reputed to be black-hearted . They sneered at the residents of the empire, calling anyone not part of the Red Knights weak . In such a situation, a Red Knight was killed by a man’s bare fists? The dignity of the Red Knights was shaken to its roots .
Fulito was obliged to prevent this situation .
“Wait until the end of the event . ” Grid would be able to use weapons once the event was over . “At that time, I will beat you up and regain the dignity of the Red Knights . ”
“Hoh . ”
This was good news for Grid . Fulito’s combat power couldn’t be measured . He was much stronger compared to Kamiyan . He wasn’t someone that could be beaten just by relying on Lifael’s Spear . Grid hadn’t been sure how to deal with him, so it was good that Fulito was giving him a chance .
The viewers cheered .
–Wow, Fulito of the Red Knights is a little scary . He gave Grid time to beat his colleague to death .
–His confidence is incredible . Is he a single number?
-No, single number knights have gold epaulettes on their shoulders .
–Hrmm… Then he must be in the 10’s .
–Even the 20th knight is several times stronger than the 30th knight .
The illegal gambling sites were booming with all types of speculations .
[Grid vs . Red Knight Fulito]
The gamblers started betting on who would win the match . Surprisingly, many gamblers bet on Fulito’s victory . He had leisurely watched while Kamiyan was killed by Grid . Considering that he also gave Grid time to use weapons, Fulito must be much stronger . In any case, Fulito seemed certain that he was stronger than Grid, so the winner of the battle would naturally be Fulito .
–It’s time for my chicken to come .
–My chicken arrived 5 minutes ago and I’ve already eaten two chicken legs .
–Sigh… When will this start? I will drink a bottle of soju while waiting .
–There are many boring pope candidates .
-Ahㅋㅋㅋㅋ I just remembered that this broadcast was originally a speech event for the pope candidates ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
As Grid waited for the end of the event, OGC’s audience ratings surpassed 43% . Rumors that the confrontation between Grid and the Red Knight would be started soon began to spread . Millions of foreign viewers flooded to the OGC web channel, almost paralyzing the server .
As the whole world was watching,
[The pope candidate’s speech event has ended . ]
[The weapons that have been disabled for safety are released . ]
[The +9 Failure has been equipped . ]
[The +8 Doppelganger’s Greatsword has been equipped . Only 50% of the weapon’s attack power will be applied due to the penalty . ]
Grid held the two greatswords in both hands . The users were excited .
-Two sword style?
–Is he a rookie? How can Two Sword Style be used with greatswords? Really stupid;;
–It should be very restrictive to swing two large weapons at the same time . His posture will easily crumble .
–Aish, you should only use one greatsword while fighting . This is just to look cool .
The community of the gambling sites fell into chaos . The gamblers who bet on Grid started complaining .
–Ah, this **** .
–I stupidly believed in him . Hah…
–I was mistaken when I thought he was better than before .
–The nightmare is starting again…
-Does he know he’s being ridiculed?
Grid attacked Fulito without saying a single word .
Jjejeong!
When the attack from the Doppelganger’s Greatsword was blocked…
Papat!
Failure was swung . Unlike Kamiyan’s Keen Senses which was an active skill, Fulito’s movements were affected by a passive skill, so it was hard to hit him . Fulito avoided Grid’s counterattack and used a skill .
“Light Sword . ”
The power of this skill was incomparable to what Kamiyan used before . It was obvious that Grid would take a lot of damage when defending, and the orbit was too exquisite to avoid . Then what should Grid do? The maturing Grid knew how to cope with this .
“Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Revolve . ”
Peeeeeong!
A counterattack triggered at the perfect timing . The power of the skill also rose due to the Doppelganger’s Greatsword . Blood spurted from Fulito’s chest .
‘What?’
Fulito was shocked . Grid was much stronger than when he defeated Kamiyan . It was natural .
Pagma’s Swordsmanship increased attack power, critical attack chance, and critical attack damage, as well as generating all types of passive skills . But this was only applied when a sword type weapon was equipped .
When armed with a greatsword, Grid was strong enough to exceed the extent that Fulito had assumed .
–Wow, Two Sword Style really appeared .
–Kyah~ truly God Grid .
As always, the viewers’ switch in opinion was fast . The people who were ignoring Grid just a minute ago were now praising him .
Currently, OGC’s audience rating was 45% . Reaching 50% wasn’t a dream . It was a record in the decades of Korean broadcasting . Grid was once again writing a new legend .
Yura was praised as one of the best beauties in the world . Her beauty transcended race and people’s tastes . She was a hundred times more beautiful in reality than on TV or photos . It felt like they would go blind when they stared at her .
