Overgeared Chapter 482:
“I don’t want it . ”
Faker confirmed the information of Kruger’s Pants that Grid handed him and refused . Grid was baffled because he’d been expecting an entirely different reaction .
“Why? Why don’t you want this? I thought you would be jumping with joy . ”
“It’s too good . ”
Kruger’s Pants could be regarded as one level higher than Grid’s current items . It had golden options and high defense, making it too good . Thus, it was a burden .
"Grid, you tend to give too much to us . ”
“ . . . Eh?”
Since when? Faker calmly explained to Grid, who wanted to refute it .
“How many of the two billion users can wear items made by a legendary blacksmith? It’s only the Overgeared Guild . We’re always thankful to you and that’s why I want to return the favor . I can’t keep demanding things from you . ”
Grid was dumbfounded . “What are you saying? When have I ever made free items for you? You’re a customer who buys items from me for a reasonable price . I’m not doing you favors . ”
The Overgeared members provided the necessary materials and methods for Grid to make the items . Grid learned how to make items for free and was also able to earn money by selling the items to his colleagues . Anyone could see that Grid benefited . That’s why Grid always felt appreciative .
"Thanks to your steady commissions, I was able to produce more items and build up my skills . I even make money while doing it . This time as well . I’m selling this to you, not giving it for free . Isn’t it a reasonable price?”
“ . . . You don’t know your own value . ”
There were many rich people in the world . The items made by Grid were more expensive than the Overgeared members could afford, but the wealthy would be willing to buy them . Yet they never got a chance . Grid was so busy that he barely had enough time to produce items for the Overgeared members . In other words, Grid was pouring all the opportunity costs into the Overgeared members .
Faker and his colleagues always felt sorry .
"In fact, you can earn a much larger amount of money . But you’re tied to the guild . . . ”
"Bullshit . ” Grid frowned and interrupted . "Tied to the guild? It’s nonsense . I’m the one who made Overgeared . I’m thankful that you accepted my invitation . ”
“Aren’t we seeing greater benefits as a result? So I won’t buy the pants . You should use it . ”
At the very least, don’t concede such a good item .
Grid shrugged . "I know what you mean, but the options of the tights will have no effect on me . ”
Rise in agility, rise in jumping ability, and increase the power of lower body skills . They were options that occurred theoretically because the tights were light and comfortable . Overlapping it with heavy armor would cause the effects to disappear . It was a phenomenon that occurred because Satisfy pursued realism . It was one of the important systems that increased immersion, but was tiring in many ways .
“However, isn’t the defense applied?”
"No, dammit . It’s too tight . Cutting my blood off just for a bit more defense? In the first place, I can simply make something layered that only increases defense . ”
In fact, the layered defense effect used in Triple Layers was just as good .
" . . . ”
"Don’t be stubborn . And don’t forget . The favors I’m doing all of you are because of Overgeared . The thing you can do for me is become stronger . Don’t give me something useless . ”
“ . . . Yes . ”
Faker gave a rare smile . There seemed to be a halo around his face, showing the best merits of a mixed Eastern and Western person .
‘Really handsome . ’
Why were all the Overgeared members so handsome? Honestly, Grid was too shabby compared to them . What if they immigrated to South Korea and went out every day? He was glad to have them as friends . But he could also feel depressed .
‘I should recruit new guild members that are uglier than me . . . Yes, they should be like Uncle Vantner?’
Grid still had no idea how attractive his masculine looks were . He was feeling seriously distressed when Faker spoke hesitantly .
“That . . . Can I pay by installments?”
" . . . ”
The value of Kruger’s Pants were around 6 billion gold, which was burdensome to pay all at once . Grid eventually nodded . "I understand . But just so you know, I’m not selling it at an expensive price . There are no conditions of use, so I can sell it to much wealthier people . ”
“ . . . I’m well aware . ”
In fact, it wasn’t cheap . Faker once again felt thankful that Grid didn’t require interest on the installment payments .
‘I will become stronger in order to repay the favor . ’
It didn’t matter who the opponent was . Yes, he wouldn’t allow even Kraugel to threaten Grid and the Overgeared Guild . Daring to go against Kraugel? Somebody might laugh and see Faker’s attitude as arrogance . But Grid and the Overgeared members knew Faker’s true value .
In the darkness, his power was equal to or greater than Grid . If Euphemina was the hidden gem of Overgeared, Faker was the invisible pillar supporting Overgeared . In order to be faithful to his role, Faker was obliged to be stronger than anyone else .

“ . . . Hrmm . ”
Euphemina’s room that faced Grid’s bedroom . After returning from unburdening her heart with her colleagues, Euphemina’s expression was very serious . She couldn’t guess the value of Mumud’s Spellbook that she received as a quest reward .
‘The rating is unknown . ’
Typically, the rating of a spellbook followed that of magic . For example, a spellbook that contained the A-grade magic Fire Storm was rated A . In other words, spellbooks were divided from D~S ranks . Then what about an unknown rating?
‘Is it not acquiring a single magic?’
For example, there were multiple spells with different ratings, making the rating of the spellbook unknown?
‘In any case, this is a spellbook that teaches magic . ’
Then there was a problem . Euphemina wasn’t a magician . She could copy magic, but she had no talent to learn it .
‘The spellbook might explode . . . ’
In fact, Euphemina wanted to sell this to Zednos or Laella . She judged that it was more stable in many ways . But Grid stopped that idea . A spellbook that couldn’t be judged using the Legendary Blacksmith’s Appraisal . Grid guessed that the spellbook had more value than a legendary class change book .
"Braham said this . Mumud was even more of a genius than him, making Braham feel afraid and wary . In other words, he had talent beyond a legendary magician . What if you sell the spellbook and then find out its real value afterwards? You might regret it too much . Don’t play the game cautiously and just try it out . You might be worried that the spellbook will disappear without an effect, but you will regret it less than giving it to others . ”
‘Grid is right . ’
In fact, Euphemina was one of the few people in Overgeared who didn’t know Grid’s nature . She misunderstood Grid as a great figure even when he was a dunce . For Euphemina, Grid was a target of envy, especially the current Grid . This was why she engraved his advice in her .
"Yes, I must learn it . ”

This allowed Mumud to feel satisfied with his life .
