Overgeared Chapter 405:
Chapter 405
–In order to raise Reidans fertility rate, you must set an example as the lord . Please share your hot love even more where people are watching .
Lauel meant to actively express positive affection . A simple example was to stroke her cheek or whisper loving words in her ears . He wanted to engrave the perception this couples relationship is beautiful and happy! into the public .
But Grid misunderstood .
This guy has seen too many Japanese videos .
Why would he share a hot love in front of everyone? Wasnt a hot love beyond kissing? Doing this act in the middle of the city, not the bedroom, and in front of more than 20,000 people? It was impossible unless he was a complete pervert . It was a completely crazy idea .
–W-What is it?
Lauel saw the contempt in Grids eyes and panicked . It was the day when the pure youth Lauel was labelled as a pervert .
And on this day . Lauel was disappointed with Grids uncooperative attitude and made a pledge .
I will take initiative for My Lord .
Lauels project to create a second generation had begun . It was at this time that the legendary Reidan’s Female NPC Strategy was written .
***
It was only six days before the National Competition and Grid was supposed to leave for France in four days .
Based on Satisfy, Grid had 12 days to spare .
I must finish all the preparations .
Thus, he hurriedly returned to Reidan . Now wasnt the time to be like this .
“I love you, but Im sorry . Please be satisfied with this today . ”
Time was short . Grid saw Irenes nakedness after a long time and used his hand techniques . After a while .
…I love you, dear husband .
Grids dexterity stat had long gone beyond the realm of a human . Grid satisfied Irene in a short amount of time and left for the smithy .
***
Reidans super large smithy .
Khan and the young blacksmiths welcomed Grid, who had been missing for a few months . Grid observed Khan with the Great Lord’s Sword and felt admiration .
Advanced level 8?
In fact, Grid had thought Khans blacksmithing skill would stagnate at advanced level 7 . But in contrast to his expectations, Khan was steadily developing . The process of training talented young blacksmiths seemed to give Khan a new understanding .
“Maybe you have a chance to become a craftsman?
“Huhu, you are overrating me .
Historically, only 10 blacksmith craftsmen had emerged . Khan didnt dare aim to be recognized as a craftsman . But Grid thought differently .
Khan is Albatinos descendant . He comes from a long bloodline of blacksmiths and has more passion than anyone . If I support him well, he can become a craftsman .
Maybe he would be reborn as a named NPC . Grid felt greedy as he headed towards the furnace located in the innermost area of the smithy . A typical furnace was always dirty, but Grids was clean . It was thanks to Khan always cleaning it for him .
Really, Im touched by that old man every time .
His first friend, Khan . He prayed for the old man to live as long as possible . Grids eyes were red as he started to prepare the firewood, while the young blacksmiths freaked out .
Duke Grid! Let us do these menial tasks!
“It isnt your duty!
It was impressive . Two years ago in real time, he had been told by the old blacksmith in Bairan that he couldnt even cut firewood . Now he was in a position where he shouldnt be cutting them . He realized that he had become successful .
Grid laughed and waved to the young blacksmiths .
“You can go and do your work . Today, I want to go back to my state of mind as a beginner .
Grid thought that going through all the blacksmithing processes would improve his concentration . He prepared enough firewood and lit the furnace .
Tak! Tatak!
The flames in the furnace started to slowly rise . Grid controlled the temperature of the flames and suddenly laughed .
If Braham saw this, he would be laughing at me .
He wouldve argued that he couldve raised the temperature of the flames instantly with magic power . But right now, Braham was silent . To be precise, he fell asleep just after using Assimilation .
Did this mean that Grid used Assimilation recently? No . Grid hadnt use Assimilation during the past fortnight . The reason why Braham was exhausted and sleeping was due to what happened when Grid died on the 61st island some time ago .
I dont want to go to **** .
Grid had used Blackening against Lantier, and was in danger of falling into **** due to dying in the Blackening state . Braham said that if he fell into **** in this state, he would fall prey to the great demons . Therefore, he suppressed the dark gate trying to **** Grid into **** with magic .
In exchange, a message was added to Grids current status window .
* Braham has 69 days, 9 hours, 3 minutes, and 15 seconds left to restore his magic power and wake up . You cant use the Assimilation skill until Braham wakes up *
By the time 69 days passed in Satisfy time, the National Competition would be coming to an end . In other words, Grid had lost a powerful weapon in the National Competition . But Grid wasnt shaken . He believed he could play a role in the National Competition alone, without Brahams help .
I will make that belief come true .
He needed items . He realized that there was a limit to developing his control . No matter how hard he tried, he couldnt be a genius like Kraugel and the Overgeared members . Therefore, he needed to make the best items .
Horse knights helmet, troll lords vest, crying ogres gauntlets and golden crowns leggings .
In addition, Lantiers cloak . Grid wanted to reproduce some of the items of the monsters he met in the latter half of the Behen Archipelago . It was because he needed new, more powerful armor .
The Holy Light set is really good . But…
The Holy Light Armor had a high probability of resisting dark magic, increased the effectiveness of healing magic by 300%, and increased resistance to physical attacks . The Holy Light Gloves raised attack speed and accuracy, and had a low chance of activating the 5 Joint Attacks skill . The Holy Light Crown raised his intelligence and dignity stats .
Once these three items were worn as a set, defense and health rose significantly . It was why Grid had been steadily using it since level 170 . Yes, the Holy Light Set was very good .
If it was half a year to a year ago, I would still be able to call it a top-class armor .
But not anymore . As the level of monsters and users increased, the value of the Holy Light set was falling . He was able to realize it after meeting Kraugel and experiencing the Behen Archipelago .
The problem is that the basic defense is too low .
In particular, the crown and gloves had poor defense . It was almost defenseless . In the case of the Holy Light Armor, it wasnt bad, but the defense wasnt very high for armor . If there was no set effect, he wouldnt have used it from the beginning .
The 5 Joint Attacks of the gloves isnt too bad .
At this point, the only advantage of the Holy Light Set was for healing or when facing magic . This thought became more widespread after dying from two of Lantiers blows .
I have to make an armor set for defense .
Monsters easily neutralized his attacks in the Behen Archipelago . He would gather the characteristics of the armor they were wearing .
First .
Grid confirmed that the furnace was at the right temperature and extracted the black iron and ogre blood .
Lets make the troll lords breastplate .
From the time he became duke of Reidan until the present time, hed earned around 147,000 gold from hunting and various quests . Of course, there was a separate sum that he invested into Reidan .
In any case, 147,000 gold was approximately 200 million won . Grid was planning to pour all of this gold into making items .
I will use the finest materials .
The National Competition . It was the best stage of Satisfy that the entire world was paying attention to . Grid needed to invest enough to prove his worth on that stage . However, the concept of enough wasnt understood properly by Grid .
In fact, 200 million wasnt a big sum . The rankers of various countries participating in the National Competition poured at least billions of won into upgrading items and skill books . Were they crazy?
Not at all . This was a realistic amount . There were many sponsors attracted to the rankers participating in the National Competition, so money poured out abundantly . Of course, many companies offered to sponsor Grid .
However, Grid refused . It was because the amount was too small . None of the companies set a high price on Grid, who had been nerfed . Most companies predicted that Grid would lose his events, so the average value they offered was 300 million . This was low compared to rankers like Chris and Zibal, who had been offered 12 times as much .
Grids pride was hurt and he had to refuse the offers . Someone might think he was stupid for kicking away 300 million because of his pride . But Grid thought differently .
I will get the best result .
Companies that sponsored him would get astronomical results . Grid knew this fact, so accepting only 300 million won would make his stomach cramp with irritation .
Grid vowed again . He would prove his worth to those who underestimated him and make them shed tears . .

Chapter 406
Scale armor .
As the name suggested, it was armor similar to the scales of a fish . Several small pieces of iron plates were put on leather straps and then joined together with thick cloth or leather . The range of activity was high because it allowed free movements of the body . In addition, it was good at deflecting swords and other sharp weapons . It had resistance to stabbing and slashing as options .
But the basic defense power was inferior when compared to other heavy armor . In particular, it was difficult to avoid a fatal injury if the joints where the iron plates were joined together were attacked .
In the end, the gap between iron plates is the biggest problem .
Thats why tankers hardly wore scale armor, despite it being classified as heavy armor . The scale armor had obvious advantages, but there were also obvious limitations . However, Grid thought of a way to overcome the limitations of scale armor . It was thanks to the hint from the troll lords breastplate .
If I make multiple layers of iron plates, I can maintain the advantages of scale armor while covering the deficient defense .
Typical scale armor was one layer of joined iron plates . The moment the weapon struck between the plates, the defense was forced to fail . The troll lords breastplate minimized this weakness with a double layer of iron plates . Was it possible that blacksmiths had never thought of this idea?
No . Existing blacksmiths also knew that multiple layers of iron plates would increase the defense . The reason why they didnt make it…
The higher the iron content, the higher the weight and the more limited the movements .
In other words, it lost the advantages inherent to scale armor . Heavy and movement-limiting scale armor? Who would want to use it? If it was going to be inconvenient anyway, they might as well wear heavy armor with much higher defense .
But the items I make are different .
Black iron was two times harder and three times lighter than iron .
I can use this to make the plates as thinly as possible .
He would make scale armor that was light and easy to move in, even if the iron plates were doubled or tripled . This wasn’t an easy task . Black iron smelting was seven times more difficult than iron smelting . Even Khan, whose blacksmith skill was advanced level 8, wouldnt be able to smelt black iron so thinly and shape hundreds of scales .
However, Grid was different . Grids blacksmith skill was legendary level 7 and his dexterity was close to 3,000 . For him, smelting black iron was just as hard as ordinary blacksmiths smelting iron .
Ill prove why Im a legend .
Compared to other legends, it was true that he was lacking many things when it came to combat . However, as a blacksmith, he could proudly say that he was the best .
Ttang! Ttang!
The taste of holding minerals in his hands was the best . The pleasure was greater compared to when killing monsters . Grids concentration rose rapidly as he started hitting the black iron on the anvil .
The width of the iron plate shouldnt be too wide . ’
The joints between the iron plates increased the flexibility of the scale armor . Grid wanted the iron plates to have a narrow width, in order to maximize the characteristics . However, the smaller the plates, the longer the working time .
In particular, the number of iron plates increased because he needed to make three layers . It was impossible to make hundreds of small iron plates and join them together, even if it took two full days .
But Grid was a craftsman . The increasing workload? It didnt matter . It was necessary if he wanted to make better items .
Ttang! Ttang!
Small and thin black iron pieces were refined in Grids hands . The appearance, size, and shine reminded him of black dragon scales .
Beautiful scales .
The scales are at least three times smaller than the scales of typical scale armor, but the details are much better . The technique of the duke is really delicate .
Wow… It seems like he has made over 100 already? How many is the duke planning to make?’
This would be incredibly boring and difficult work for me .
Khan and the young blacksmiths were amazed at Grids workmanship and care .
[The Legendary Blacksmiths Patience skill has been activated . ]
[Concentration, stamina and defense will rise to the extremes for one hour . ]
[The Legendary Blacksmiths Breath skill has been activated . ]
[The Legendary Blacksmiths Breath has increased the effectiveness of your production items]
The roosters cried out at dawn . Beyond the blacksmiths window, the spires of the castle rose in the distance . However, Grid didnt take a break .
Ttang! Ttang!
Grid relied on his high stamina to continue making the iron plates . He devoted himself to work, despite the day passing and it becoming night again . Excluding meal time and sleeping time, he never released his hammer .
Then two days later .
[You have successfully made the Scale Armor . ]
[The structure is different from the Scale Armor on your production list . ]
[Analyzing the scale armor . ]
[The function of your scale armor is phenomenal . ]
[Scale Armor (Enhanced)]
Scale armor modified by the legendary blacksmith Grid .
Unlike conventional scale armor, it has a triple layer of iron plates .
Black iron is used to minimize the weight, and 621 iron plates were made as small as possible in order to increase the range of movement .
…?
[Scale Armor (Enhanced)]
Scale armor modified by the legendary blacksmith Grid .
Grid felt a sense of deja vu from these words . At first, he couldnt think of anything, but then he remembered .
[Magic Missile (Enhanced)]
A magic missile developed by the legendary great magician who has completely overturned the activation formula .
Yes, it was Brahams magic . Just as Braham strengthened existing magic, Grid was able to strengthen existing items . At this moment, Grid was able to truly understand why he was a legendary blacksmith .
[Please decide the name of the item you have created . ]
The system asked before listing the items ratings and options .
Um .
Grid thought carefully and came to a conclusion .
‘I made three layers of iron plates .
It matched well with the three-layered meat that Koreans were familiar with .
“Lets call it Three Layers .
It was the worst . Lauel wouldve tried anything to stop Grid if he was present . Unfortunately, Lauel wasnt here . For the sake of Reidans future, Lauel was busy interacting with female NPCs and didnt care about Grid . It was really a pity .
[Have you decided on Three Layers?]
Yes .
[Three Layers has been added to the list of item production methods!]
[Three Layers has been completed . ]

Scale armor modified by the legendary blacksmith Grid .
The 621 small, iron plates made by hand and joined into three layers has ensured a high defense and range of movement .
In addition, each iron plate has a small groove . If the enemys weapon strikes it, there is a certain probability of the weapon being damaged .
Like the black dragon scales, these 621 iron plates will shine whenever the wearer moves .
Ogres blood was used to increase the durability of the leather straps, slightly increasing the strength of the wearer .

[A legendary rated item was produced, so all stats have permanently risen by +10 and reputation throughout the continent has risen by +500 . ]
Wow .
It had been two and a half years since he became Pagmas Descendant . Not in game time, but in real time . Grid had made a huge number of items in the meantime, but only 12 legendary items so far . He had no luck, despite being a legendary blacksmith .
Thus, Grid cleared his mind . In the process of making items, Grid didnt dare think about making legendary items .
But today . He had a hard time over the past few months due to the Behen Archipelago, and now he made a legendary item after a long time . Grid was filled with anticipation .
Finally… Finally, the heavens knows my skills and heart .
Being rewarded for their efforts, it might be natural for geniuses, but not ordinary people . No matter how hard they tried, they often didnt get reasonable rewards . It was particularly bad for Grid .
But now Grids efforts were seeing results . It was a result achieved through Grids growth .
Okay… Keep this momentum going .
Grid was very pleased with the result . The material used for the Holy Light Set was adamantium, so the options and durability were much better . However, the defense of the Three Layers was superior .
“Next is the helmet and leggings .
The balance patch to the National Competition that nerfed him?
[Grids attack power, which is his biggest weapon, is suppressed . ]
Grid smiled as he recalled that headline .
Im not a damage dealer .
Items were flexible . An overgeared person could be a damage dealer or tanker . In this National Competition, Grid was planning to show off an attack power that didnt yield to the patch, as well as his defense . In other words, he would be a flawless damage dealer tank that would overturn the world .
Ttang! Ttang!
The helmet, leggings, and gauntlet were gradually completed, while Lantiers Cloak was reproduced through Item Creation . It wasnt long before he would become a matchless overgeared person .

Chapter 407
Cloak .
It referred to a coat hanging from the shoulders without any sleeves . From a general point of view, tailors made cloaks because the commonly used materials were cloth and leather .
But blacksmiths also knew how to make cloaks . It was natural . Blacksmiths made all types of leather armor, and due to this they were also skilled at making cloaks .
Of course, it was a reality that the options and designs lagged behind cloaks made by tailors, since they were specialists in cloth and leather . However, the blacksmith cloaks had better basic defense .
From that point of view, Lantiers Cloak was clearly made by a blacksmith .
The cloak stopped my blade .
What was the quality and elasticity of the cloak that it couldnt even be torn by Noes claws? Grid thought about it during his return journey to Reidan . He actively used his knowledge and experience as Pagmas Descendant, looking at every type of leather . The leather he came up with?
None .
Of course, there were some leathers that were as hard as rocks that were excellent in defense . Typical examples were minotaur leather and blue griffin leather . In fact, they were used as materials for the best leather armor . But they werent appropriate as a material for a cloak .
Its too thick and heavy . They arent soft enough, despite being leather .
Making a cloak with it? Rather than a cloak, it was more like a box . There was no utility as a cloak . If so, what was Lantiers Cloak made out of?
I bet it isnt cloth .
Pagma had prepared the equipment for Lantier, who became a death knight . Pagma was a blacksmith, so he couldnt handle cloth at a high level .
Wait .
A smile appeared on Grids face as he recalled something . He remembered that with Lantiers Cloak, the inside and outside were different colors .
The outer part is black .
And the inner lining was red .
Pagma used two types of leather to increase the defense of the cloak .
Once he realized this, he knew that he didnt have to cling to minotaur or griffin leather . The durability might be lower, but there were more suitable leathers to make the cloak . Now Grid went through the different types of leather to find a red and black one .
…None?
The black leather wasnt too much trouble, but there was no red leather . The only one similar to red leather was the pink leather of the lizard queen .
The lizard queens leather is too hard to be used as the inner lining of the cloak…
In the past week, Grid had completed his armor, helmet, and leggings . He faced a challenge when he tried to recreate Lantiers Cloak using the Legendary Blacksmiths Creation skill .
***
Her eyes were confident and her mouth relaxed . Yura was filled with unique intellectual charm and was the most beautiful woman in Asia . Her hairstyle had changed somehow . Her ebony hair fell down and reached her chest .
I am ashamed .
Yura blushed as she stood in a full-length mirror . The pink flush on her white face was reminiscent of a peach .
It feels awkward .
Her short dress revealed her thighs . It highlighted Yuras ideal figure . Yura normally wore jeans, simple t-shirts, or suits, so she couldnt adapt to her appearance in the mirror . She shivered shyly at the thought of going out with her body exposed . Honestly, she wanted to change her clothes right now .
But .
Today she was meeting Grid . In other words, she was meeting Shin Youngwoo . She wanted to increase her favorability with the first man she was interested in . Therefore, she changed her style . It was to match Grids taste .
The problem was her breast size . Didnt Grid like at least a D cup?
“…
Yura thought about borrowing the power of items, but shook her head . It was a matter of pride . She was already bigger than average .
On this day .
Heok…
…Wow .
I dont care if I die right now!
The men who witnessed Yura on the streets cried out emotionally, regardless of their age . There were some people who vowed never to wash their eyes .
***
Ding dong~
There were 3 days remaining until the National Competition .
Someone visited Youngwoos house .
Ohh~! God Grid!
It was Peak Sword .
Youngwoo frowned in dislike at his loud voice .
Youre as lively as ever .
“I have to welcome God Grid, so of course I will be energetic!
Ah, really .
Peak Sword was like Khan . They were people who had an infinite affection towards Grid . He couldnt be disgusted by such people . Shin Youngwoo laughed and wore slippers onto the porch .
Hoh?
Light blue old slippers and a green training suit . Peak Sword was impressed as he looked Youngwoo up and down . Youngwoos body was much fitter than it was several months ago . His broad shoulders and thick thighs were very good .
“Last time, you were jogging every morning . Now it seems like you are constantly working out as well?
“I need to be healthy so I can focus more on the game .
Thats right . He couldnt play the game without stamina . In particular, the fatigue of virtual reality games was very high .
This is a very good attitude . But what are those severe dark circles under your eyes? Have you been sleeping lately?
Im making a few items before the National Competition… Huh?
Youngwoo, who came out of the house, discovered the car that Peak Sword was standing next to and felt astonished . Peak Sword saw his expression and asked earnestly .
How is it? Isnt my new car very good? It is a rare sports sedan that can stand side-by-side next to God Grids 800 million won 13 series . Right?
…Moonlight blue .
Youngwoo was paying attention to the color of Peak Swords car . It was blue under the sunlight, but black when in the shade .
Dont tell me…!
The red leather that made up Lantiers Cloak . It might not be red . After remembering that the 61st island was covered with flames, Youngwoo was enlightened and rushed into his house .
“Im going back into the game!
Eh? H-Huh?
Peak Sword panicked . Wasnt today the day when he promised to attend the operational meeting with the participations of the Korean national team? Now he was going to one-sidedly withdraw from that promise?
“We can work out the plans, but Yura will be disappointed…
Yura and Peak Sword were friends since a long time ago . Peak Sword one-sidedly followed Yura after joining the Do you know club?, but he could still be regarded as a friend . In particular, after their reunion in the Overgeared Guild, they became closer and Peak Sword was able to notice that Yura was attracted to Youngwoo . She would be worried about what to wear today, but Youngwoo…
Well, this is fine .
This was God Grid, who broke the sky . The only Korean player who could be viewed as Satisfys best . Peak Sword didnt want to disturb him . He respected Youngwoos choice, since it would eventually boost the status of South Korea .
As a result, Yura became depressed .
“…Youngwoo-ssi isnt coming?
Ah, eh, yes…
“…
The finest Korean restaurant in Gangnam .
Yura, who was waiting for Youngwoo and Peak Sword with the other participants of the National Competition, changed clothes . She put on a white shirt and jeans instead of the alluring one piece dress that showed off her body .
The men in the room were forced to blame Youngwoo, while the women could be freed from their feelings of self-consciousness .
***
Yes, this is it! Why didnt I think of this?
Reidans super large smithy .
As soon as he reconnected to the game, Grid opened the Item Production List and cheered . The item he was looking at was the leather armor that he gave to Faker a few months back .

Chameleon . The chameleon was around 2 meters in size and had muscular human limbs . Their leather was very resilient, making them resistant to physical attacks . Their color and nature changed instantly in order to protect themselves from danger .
It was shown that Lantiers Cloak could neutralize Noes claws and stay in the blazing fire .
